Song Meaning of “V.H.F.” by Todd Rundgren
V.H.F. by Todd Rundgren is a song about letting go of the expectations and pressures of the outside world in order to find true connection with yourself. The song’s narrator speaks of being overwhelmed by the bombardment of static from all directions – an allusion to the world’s harsh messaging and opinions, often gossip and rumor, that can drown out the internal wisdom needed to remain true to oneself. He invites the listener to “turn off the V.H.F.” which is a metaphor for turning off the external influences that keep us at arm’s length from our true selves. He reassures us that “all it takes is some love and understanding” to find our way out of the static and into a more authentic, meaningful life.
