Multi-hyphenate Todd Rundgren, famously heralded by Rolling Stone as Rock\u2019s Renaissance Man, meets up with the equally iconoclastic Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo on \u201cDown With The Ship,\u201d a new song that is being released today on all digital platforms. The duo share writing duties as well as trading vocal roles on the track, which draws inspiration from reggae and African rhythms not unlike Rundgren\u2019s evergreen 1983 hit \u201cBang The Drum All Day.\u201d Lyrically, however, the song cuts with a much sharper edge, as Rundgren puts it, \u201cIt\u2019s just a little parable about what happens when you align yourself with a treacherous leader.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Stream the single:<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/orcd.co\/todd_rundgren_rivers_cuomo_down_with_the_ship\">https:\/\/orcd.co\/todd_rundgren_rivers_cuomo_down_with_the_ship<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>\u201cDown With The Ship\u201d is the second installment from Rundgren\u2019s forthcoming album\u00a0<em>Space Force<\/em>, which is being released to digital platforms as individual singles, each with its own unique artwork, every 3 or 4 weeks with the entire album coming in early 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Listen to the initial installment from Rundgren, featuring Muslim hip hop artist Narcy, here:<\/strong>\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/orcd.co\/todd_rundgren_narcy_espionage\">https:\/\/orcd.co\/todd_rundgren_narcy_espionage<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music hipsters of the world UNITE and celebrate what is sure to be one of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14034,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,2],"tags":[1309,239],"class_list":["post-14033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","category-news","tag-rivers-cuomo","tag-todd-rundgren"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14033"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14033\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14035,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14033\/revisions\/14035"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
