I recently experienced both an emotional and a physical injury in rapid succession, so I've been thinking about songs that heal. A few days before all of this went down, a song that I hadn't thought about in a long time popped into my head: "Healing, Part 1" by Todd Rundgren. This tune has been one of my favourites since I first heard it over 4 decades ago. It was not released as a single from Todd's 1981 album Healing, and so folks who are not TR fans likely do not know it. Listening to the tune today, it sure holds up. And I've happily re-discovered "Healing, Part 2" and part 3. The lyrics are profound and beautiful. Todd takes the listener on a journey during which she discovers eternal inner strength and peace that she can access during times of trouble. Then, she can become - or resume being - a guiding light for others. Thank you Todd. May we all work toward healing ourselves and shining our light.
