Paul Williams is a TITAN among song-writers/singers for the last quarter of the 20th century. Incredible talent!

Paul is in a world of his own matched by none....there is...never has been.....anyone who has ever expressed such a deep emotion as easily as breathing.......set it to a melody...with quite magical yet melancholic....results ...I own one of his demo albums...with songs I have heard nowhere else...This song is one of the selections...I love every single song on it...It is one of my most favorite albums....of all time...of anyone in any music genre...anywhere... Wished I could get it on a cd!!!!

Although based on a true story it's fiction. The real Tod, David Vetter wasn't born until 1971. He died at age 12. 😢 We knew it was based on a true story and hoped "Tod" was able to leave his bubble and kiss the hot neighbor girl. I'm sad now, leave me alone I want to live in the country 😢

Beautiful song. We still remember Paul Williams and his beautiful songs. People often say they don't make songs like this anymore, sad but true. The world has become more jaded, more cynical, meaner. Most of today's music caters to prurient tastes. I prefer to listen to the oldies.

This song is from the 🎥 Boy In A Plastic Bubble starring John Travolta. It's a very beautiful, & touching song. I wonder why Paul Williams stopped performing music? He, & other baladeers of the 70's were the greatest of a bygone generation. What a shame cause today's music, & musicians don't compare.
