Fool's Overture - Voice of Supertramp Roger Hodgson w Orchestra
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Former Supertramp lead singer and co-founder Roger Hodgson wrote and composed this song by himself. He has talked about how when he composed it he always saw it being played with an orchestra. So, seeing it with an orchestra, we are seeing it the way the composer originally intended it. This epic is on the album "Even in the Quietest Moments." Autographed CD at www.rogerhodgso....
Roger is currently on Tour, selling out shows all over the globe. Roger performs his songs in a variety of formats so you can see him at an acoustic show, band show or orchestra. I love them all. Info on www.rogerhodgso... or / rogerhodgson .
Roger Hodgson has been recognized as one of the most gifted composers, songwriters and lyricists of our time. The songs Roger sings that are often referred to as Supertramp songs are songs that Roger wrote and composed alone - that is how he creates music.
Even though Roger and Rick shared writing credit, they each wrote and composed separately with each singing their own respective songs. Roger wrote many of the band's hits while he was still in his teens, before he even met Rick. When Roger was with Supertramp, he would make a demo of the song and bring it to the band for them to learn their parts. Supertramp as a band never wrote and composed together. There were only two songwriters for the band. Roger composed many of the songs that brought Supertramp worldwide acclaim such as Give a Little Bit, Dreamer, Take the Long Way Home, Breakfast in America, School, It's Raining Again, Fool's Overture and so many more. Roger still performs all of the classics and also selections from his several solo albums. There's a Repertoire page on Roger's site where you can read about his songs and how he composed them. bit.ly/1Kfgu0W

See what fans are saying -
"Fool's Overture had everyone mesmerized. The lyrics, sounds, vibe in the room all was magical. Roger had everyone in his hands. An absolutely amazing performance. So much so that as people were leaving, I overheard many say they are already planning to come back next year."
"This performance was jaw dropping. It was like turning the clock back 25 years. Roger's voice was as it was in Supertramp's heyday."

This is Roger Hodgson Live at France 2004 Night of the Proms.
Mr Hodgson, je vous écoute depuis plus de 40 ans et je suis toujours en admiration devant votre immense talent. You're the best 💕
Biberonné à ça, Alan Parson ou Barclay James Harvest, jamais pu passer le virage du rap 🥴
💋💋💋💋
C'est tellement vrai moi aussi je le vénère
Nearly 50 years old, yet it still moves me as it did the first time that I listened to it on Paris Live, thank you Mr. Hodgeson for creating the most memorable song of all time. I applaud your brilliance. Long live Fool's overture. And its creator. Thank you for the music.
I love it, but I don’t understand why it makes me emotional enough to shed tears?
Truly epic song. Even in the Quietest Moments I bought on vinyl late 70s, still have it, still play it. It's one of my fav albums ever. A true masterpiece.
I just found this today. Wow
@@lindafay6637 You mean you’ve never heard it before? It will grow on you more and more, it’s just amazing and timeless. Get the album Even in the Quietest Moments …you will love it!
"Fool's Overture is one of my favorite pieces that I've ever written. It was very magical the way it came together. It was actually three separate pieces of music that I had for a few years and then, one day, they kind of all slotted together in what I think is a magnificent, kind of epic piece of music. I always imagined performing it with an orchestra, so when I did start playing with orchestras back in the '90s, it was such a thrill to play this song. I still get goosebumps to his day every time I get an opportunity perform it with an orchestra." ~Roger Hodgson
Rodger cant wait to see you cime back to Stlouis Mo. You are so incredibly gifted. I'd love to say hi to you someday.
This tore my heart into pieces, my emotional response was illogical, such a master piece. ❤
THANK YOU!!!!!
Thanks Roger, you have amazing music
Crisis, what crisis, even now with c
and I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. such an awesome piece.
One of - if not THE - favorite song for me by Supertramp/Hodgson and this orchestral arrangement brought the power of this composition to its full glory. I have always thought the band was a bit underrated for their musicianship, and Hodgson for his compositions. This performance, even as old as it is, sent chills down my spine.
"Call the man a fool, strip him of his pride, Everyone was laughing up until the day he died." Now I'm crying. I love his depth. Love the orchestra and the chorus, too.
History recalls how great this song can be................I know, i know, I know...............

Madre mía, que belleza.... se siente hasta el cielo, se enchina la piel.....Roger Hodgson es Usted regalo de Dios.....toda su obra es divina...🥰😇❤🇲🇽
Esto es una maravilla , mis padres escuchaban esto en su época , y en la mía reggaeton 😔
It was his parents. Not god
This song change a life, for better! Thank you Supertramp!
Always loved Supertramp, even as a kid. One of the BEST BANDS EVER!!!!!!. WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!
Saw this brilliant band at Wembley arena in 1978. No other band will ever have their talent .Brings back so many memories of being a young boy, headphones on. Those were the days .
Perfect! Wish they were still giving us music!
Roger's music is so awesome to us all, we each carry it with us in different ways with diverse meanings, whether its our relationships with individuals or our relationships to the universe or it's creator, I'm convinced he has had a most spiritual event in his early days, I know he knows...ya know.
Music connects us to places in time, events we will never for get or wish never happened, it is life at its BEST not matter what!!!!!!!!!!
It makes me feel so alone in this world, just wanna be with someone when you hear this, someone you grew up with but they all go there own ways.
***** We will meet again in Gods heaven :)
Squire Hobbs contemporâneo surreal.
E transcendental surreal. Beatifull
This music takes me back to my 20's when I was in the service and I spent endless hours driving, crisscrossing the country, reporting to different duty stations, with music like this and Eagles. Jim Morrison, Neil Diamond, Dan Folgelberg, Heart, Supertramp, Genesis, and many others blasting from my car radio.
very complicated music..orchestra that I have ever heard and so wonderful./... love it. Music is so perfect.. I would love to see this concert ... in 2022... we need this concert...
Ace live performance with this great orchestra! Wish I had been there. . .
sublime, je ne m'en lasserai jamais...
Beatiful
Supertramp nunca defrauda!! Una joya
Roger, you and your band mates will always be in my personal HALL OF FAME!! You are an extremely gifted composer (obviously) and wishing you continued success and best always to you and yours. 💕
Those final lyrics....are we not going to discuss the beauty of them?
Después de componer esta canción ya te puedes morir tranquilo. Impresionante
Now THIS is how I imagined rock and classical blend into something magical
hello, how are you doing it is nice meeting you here….
I know I must be getting old when I saw things like...I miss the music of the 1970-1980 period. This was a period of time when putting together a complete album was a work of art. So many great song writers who cared about putting out great work. Today’s music is void of life and feeling...prepackaged crap and audiences gobble it up.
Me recuerda a mis padres,y lo echo tanto de menos. Pero tengo un recuerdo feliz.
Tengo 58 años y escuché esto por primera vez con 14.
No dejo de emocionarme.
Attention à la crise cardiaque...on a plus 20ans !!
isso é uma música
que arrepia até a alma.
❤ One say, i was with Mother - Yoga Devi! She Said: "Alway you live is here, now." I never forgot!
Amazing
Per a mi els millors de entre els millors, esta es posiblement la millor de Supertramp, gracies a ella em vaig enganxar totalment a Supertramp a la Gipsy a Xeraco
Only know this song from my dad but I’ve been listening to it since 2011
Masterpiece!
Magical Moments...
Yes hello it's me again yes those were the days my friends I thought they'd never end 1977 Supertramp crime of the century and the rest I grew up on them I'm still growing up on them and I'm in my sixties it's like an old car getting in it and feeling young and good again thanks super traps for all the years it would have been nice to see is all together again Mister Supertramp Garnett
Sensacional! Possivelmente a melhor música da banda...
Meus problema com a banda são os seguintes:
Um grande amigo que cisma que a banda é Rock and Roll;
Conheci a banda por músicas como " My Kind of lady"... Ficou uma péssima impressão...
Agora , quando os caras seguem o lado progressivo, como essa música, arrebentam!
❤
I was only born in 77
"what will be your last contribution??" ......

No words to describe this song. For me, it is a masterpiece by Supertramp.

Exactement, c'est un monde !!!!!!!!!!
The most under-rated band of all time. I had all their albums as they came out. Crime of the Century!! I knew I had great taste!!
COMPLÈTEMENT !!!!!!!! Je ne savais pas que c'était un groupe sous estimé. Je vous dirai que j'ai plané avec eux, c'est tellement poétique !!!!!! Ceci juste en les écoutant, ça me suffisait !!!!!!! Comme je l'ai déjà dit, je les aime et les aimerais toujours !!!!!!!!! Sauf " Breakfast in America ", je n'accroche pas ! Les autres, je les écoute facilement toute une nuit, tranquille !!!!!!!!!
Probably one of the best pieces of music ever written and performed
Totalmente de acuerdo... Supertramp son de otro sistema solar... 👍🏻
Muito provavelmente. Uma verdadeira obra de arte.🇧🇷
Yes sir
I know this is going to sound so corny - this is the one of the few songs that can lift me from the depths of depression up to the point that life is worth living again. It brings back so many memories of good times with people no longer with us. Where did my life go so quickly - 70 years gone in a flash. Wish I had a second go at it.
hang on in there....time is an illusion
I know what you mean, but there will be a second chance we are waiting.... it does not seem so far away
You will have a second go at it. 💗

This is NOT a "song"
It is a modern piece of classical music
Very apt, was thinking the very same thing listening to this track, what is classical music if not this...
How snobby of you .
@@desertsunset8025meaning ?
@@desertsunset8025 remember Mozart was a "pop star" of his day, why is saying this is classical music snobby? I trained as a classical pianist, exams up to grade 8. I've played classics, pop music of all types including country, jazz and reggae. There are only two types of music, Good and Bad.
@ian7538 honestly I think fools overture is not something I would listen to twice . Just because an orchestra performed it does not make it a classical great .
Crime of the Century, Logical Song, Dreamer, Goodbye Stranger... so many masterpieces that makes it really hard to choose a favorite. Deep lyrics and perfect songs.
Almost makes me cry, it’s so beautiful, I grew up with this group, they were such a favorite, now I’m 74 and wanting more!
Released back in 1977, this still stands out as one of the most brilliant pieces of music ever written. Thank you Roger for composing such a masterpiece.
Would you say this song was the first rock song with orchestra being played?
@@alexandrelacerda75 QQQQQQQ
I totally agree. What a magnificent piece of music!!! ❤️
Whats so cool is he sounds today as he did then. I seen him in STLOUIS before the pandemic and he said he carried three songs around forever but neither was long enough for a song so he joined them together. Thank God he did because this is a true masterpiece.❤
I still recall when it came out. I absolutely and completely fell in love with this album. This song in particular just pierces my soul. Even to this day!
What can I say !!
Today I am 61 years old and listening Supertramp & Roger Hodgson from the beginning and still in love !!!
For me, my Favorite song from all of them since 1977.
The sadness of al that, we will all disappear and the new generation won't pay any attention to that beautiful realisation.
Don't get me wrong, i am very positive !!!!!!!!!!
Oh no, my son is 21 years old and absolutely loves Supertrump songs - this one in particular. 🌻
Mike, I am 64 and listening as well. Filled with medical inconveniences. They told me maybe 3/6/9 months to go, but identify believe this. Music in general gives emotion and power at the same time. Life goes as it goes.
me too 67 😂
Me too 78
This is more than a simple music. This is art. It`s a masterpiece of genius and inspiration
I have asked my family to play this at my funeral, such is it’s significance and depth of meaning to me personally. 🙏🏻❤️
Did they?
Hollymolly, I've actually thought of that too!

I brought my daughter to see roger in the Royal Albert hall 4 years ago for her 40th birthday, we had 3 days in London,,,,,, but if I’m honest I was fulfilling my own dream,,, we both loved it anyway 😂
Is it just me, or does this song draw an emotional response that brings you to tears? I don’t know why, but it does every time I watch it. What a masterpiece!
Roger....you are THE MAN. If one month goes by where I haven't listened to the complete "Even In The Quietest Moment " album....I go into withdrawal. Best to you and yours ALWAYS. 💕
It is prophecy in music....time always tells..... Sad, however true. We get the message too late.
Goosebumps
Not only you
Yeah, I'm in tears right now.
Supertramp and Roger Hodgson having been a strong musical presence in my childhood and younger years, it’s been great to discover as an adult what a kind, humble and generous person Roger is as well.
My dear departed brother brought home the quietest moments album when it originally came out. I'd be about 11 then, and this track just blew my mind. Fast forward to 2021, I'm 56 now, the aches, pains of growing old have started and this track takes me back vividly to those carefree days. Thanks, brother, you were suddenly taken away from us but we'll meet again.
They see you but you can't see them
Justo como a ti, me pasó en este preciso momento. Yo me encontraba haciendo unas tareas para la universidad cuando escuché por primera vez Fool's Overture y después toda la colección de musica de Supertramp. Escuchando el solo de piano de Roger al principio, de inmediato me llevó a retroceder 30 años aproximadamente... Una joya, una verdadera joya esta canción.
Good ,song ,it s beautiful !!!Roger Hoghson ,you are the Better💐hello Mister Churchill 💗💗💗💗
wow i could have written the exact same words except im two years younger
That was beautiful man ✌️
Still feel the same, and always will...this song still gives me chills, and Supertramp still one of my favorite groups. Love 💗💖💓💞💕
Orchestra gives another dimension and depth to this masterpiece ❤️
The Grammy's couldn't handle this. This is pure music, talent and entertainment on a level they don't recognize anymore.
Adam Whiteside divino hermoso
Adam Whiteside. So so true .this is a what a performance looks like .
Este tema es un monumento a la musica, simplemente genial
Adam Whiteside just like Hall of Fame snubbed Judas Priest... Timeless Genious
@@psisculptress1498 Judas Priest ?
I was 21 when this came out. 66 now and not well but when I need a lift, I come to this beautiful song 🎵
I was 18 . Hope you are well now
I've said elsewhere that, in my opinion, Roger Hodgson is one of the greatest musicians and composers of 20th century popular music. This particular piece, though, goes beyond even that. For its sheer artistry, originality, and soul-stirring qualities it stands alongside the likes of "I am the walrus", "Stairway to heaven", and "MacArthur Park".
I agree 100%. I'd even say it ranks up there with Bohemian Rhapsody. Truly one of the Masterpieces of the modern Era.
@@muskokamike127 Exactly what I was going to write!! Fool's Overture should be as least as known and as celebrated as Bohemian Rhapsody.
Roger is!! I never tire of watching and listening to his melodies . Thank you.
😺🌵💞
I think Pink Floyd and Tears for Fears belong to the same genious club.
I couldn't have said it any better myself. The performance in this video (with the orchestra) was spectacular! They don't make songs like this anymore that's for sure!!!
They don't make music like this anymore. No auto tuned, computerized formula rubbish. Just brilliance. Saw them on their epic 1979 live tour. To this day the best live show I ever saw. Amazing.
That's why their songs live forever
Såg dom i Stockholm 1993
No you're right about things, I think
Yes they do. Listen to more music.
I believe 1979 was the year I saw them, too. "An Evening With Supertramp". Market Square Arena, Indianapolis.
if this is my very last music i ever listen to in life, i will be forever happy in death, xx
+greenfingers gardener Me too.
Me 2
oh yes
Rodger Hodgson was one of the favourite musicians of a good friend of mine. Maybe it was the last song she listend to before she comitted suicide...
me too, I'm not willing to end things by any means, but I love his music, wish he would come to Hard Rock Love in Hollywood Florida
The most beautiful thing in the world, progressive rock, is priceless!
YES PRICELESS
Tottaly agree with you... I'm 29 years old and for me, progressive is a fucking medicine for my soul.
a piece of art, this is amazing, but i hate roger hodgson for negating the rest of the band.
De Purc
I totally agree with you.
but what about phsycodilic rock?
like Pink Floyd , ...
It happens - personality differrences, musical differences, lives move on with marraige, children etc. Life doesn't stand still. He allowed them to continue the name of Supertramp and it was agreed which writer had claim to which songs, it was also then agreed that the remaining Supertramp didn't perform any of Roger's songs and he wouldn't perform any not written by himself. This was adherred to for a while until audiences dwindled for Supertramp because the vast majority of the better songs were Roger's, the band then broke the agreement and played Roger's songs to bring back ticket sales. To my knowledge, Roger never played any of Rick Davies' songs. He certainly didn't when I saw him in London this year and I've never seen any footage of him doing so. His current band is awesome. Long may they continue. If you get a chance to see them live then do so.You will not be disappointed.
fools overture is a stand alone masterpiece of sheer astounding deeply cutting and moving composition, it brings a tear to my eyes ever time i hear it, its just so amazing.
Me also my friend.
@@markdemell3717 thanks mark, it really does make me cry everytime, it is just so powerful
@@thebugacademy What is happening in our society today is ,,,The Crime of The Century!
@@markdemell3717 it's one big asylum I bloddy well right
@@thebugacademy I try to stay out of political discussions but, That strange and creepy Biden is now prez , oh man ,Almighty ,have mercy.
Lots of bands tried the lets show off our chops with an orchestra thing but these guys actually pulled ot off.
I have such an emotional reaction to this song, because it takes me back to when I was seventeen - sitting alone in my room feeling wounded and unsure about what kind of future, if any, was possible for me. Thank you Roger for so perfectly marking that moment in time for me and making me realize now how far I have come.
Wow… Intense… Supertramp was booed in Vermont I heard… I'm sure the folks there were not ready for such a talent and band as Supertramp… Was this true? I'm not sure I was 12 I think… I'm sure all those who booed are ashamed of themselves… If not, they are just not worthy of quality music!
@Nina Morningstar....like you ...but I lived in the french mountain...I listen Supertamp every day !...again and again :o). Roger and his music..are Christique (Christic in english ?)...His songs and melodies are in my soul !
Nina Morningstar you aren't alone ;)
So many of us. Yes.
Even growing up in Europe it touched me (us?) in a deep way. Was he just lucky? Doubt it.
This will forever be part of our generation and we're lucky to have it. Well, that and Floyd.

Amantes de la gran banda Supertramp y buenas canciones y música para mí es su mejor canción no sé si estáis de acuerdo seguir escuchando buena música de aquellos maravillosos tiempos 💯👍
Para mi es la epica crime of the century
Saludos
...no sabría decir que tema es mipreferido de Supertramp......The Crime of the Century, School, anoche mans womans, Just a normal Day....ufffffff hay tantas ¡¡¡¡¡
Y adios extraño tambien tiene ese sentido ebocador y nostalgico q lo senti desde la primer ves sin ser recuerdo parecia llebarme a un tiempo pasado asi creci esuchando desde los 11 años aprox a esta banda de musicos admirables
@@maxeduardomunozizquierdo1006 Señor yo diría que unos de los mejores conciertos de Supertramp es el de París ( no recuerdo de que época fue pero es uno de los mejores y podría decir que llega ah ser de culto) Si es posible podría decirme de que año fue?
Tengo un monton de años y habre escuchado esta cancion mil veces, sigo escuchandola y mis pelos siguen poniendose de punta, es simplemente sublimel.
Es cierto, a veces cuando conecta algo con tus sentimientos , aflora un resorte que dispara un vacío que te arrastra en esa turbulencia donde se mezclan y confunden realidades sueños añoranzas frustraciones y también locuras. Quién no ha salido de un sueño y aturdido por la realidad desea volver pero no encuentra el camino. Un saludo
Hoy en día el reguetón lo impregna casi todo. Menos mal que tenemos estas joyas.
Back in 1979 somebody told me: the good music from today would be the classics of the future
I can't even begin to imagine what it must feel like to be in that room with Roger and that orchestra and choir. Tears are just pouring down my cheeks...
Still the best live and recorded performances I've had the pleasure of hearing.
Masters at work.❤
Yet another genius creation of Roger Hodgson. Love the Churchill speech! What sets Roger apart from most artists is he really takes the time to create a song that is more than a melody. This song in particular, is an epic journey. It has the most beautiful melody with an incredibly meaningful story to tell.
+Andy H He and Elton are just alike Andy.They will be remembered 200 years from now just as Bach..He reminds me of Jesus...
+Jimmy Gilstrap He reminds me of Jesus in the way that he was an enlightened individual, in touch with his inner essence and expressed it in his words and music. Had Jesus played an instrument he probably would have been awesome too! P.s . read Eckhart Tolle
Andy H Yes! You've really summed it up. In my book, Supertramp ranks as one of the best rock groups of all times! But although "Fool's Overture" is a true masterpiece (it takes an exceptionally talented musician to compose something of that caliber) & the whole album is so enjoyable to listen, my No.1 album is & always will be "Crime of the Century"!
+Andy H - I always get 'shivers' when I hear Churchill's speech - "We shall Never surrender!!"
Andy H
Beauuuutifully Crafted, as always with Mr. Hodges
One of the most underrated musician on earth and truly one of the best !!
my late teens were spent listening to this music Supertramp ...Pink floyd and others such tallent ....thank you so much guys
I've seen this man in concert twice and both times walked away in awe of what an amazing man and performer he is ..... such a gifted , talented man and thank you Roger for the many years of joy you've given us all .
I grew up on this delicious music! Never forget these moments at their concerts. Do we understand at a young age how beautiful and meaningful this would be in our older years.. epic and beautiful . Thank you for this precious moment!!! 🙏🙏🙏♥️❤️
Até hoje me arrepiou quando ouço essa música. Tinha 17 anos na época, hoje tenho 62anos.❤️
There´s nothing greater and more fuffiling in the life of a Composer, than to have his Music interpreted by a Symphonic Orchestra.
It is a testament of worthiness, The Ultimate confirmation of the true quality of a creative Musician
This is one of the best pieces of music ever written by anyone on this planet.
I totally agree.
ABSOLUTELY!!👍
I agree
Agreed♥️
I am sitting here at my desk with tears in my eyes ,this song just gets me every time .Take care man.
Crisis, What Crisis hooked me, Supertramp had an incredibly clear sound. I stopped watching the Grammy’s when they were passed over, these guys had it!!!
Just close your eyes and Fly .But is Imposible that yours Eyes stop the Tears.👽🤷🏼♂️👽
my mother in law went through WW2 in the basements in London for months. Tears is an understatement.
Fantastic!!! I always thought the marriage of a full orchestra and rock-n-roll was the best in music composition. And those writers, like RH, who can accomplish that are truly the talented ones of our time. We are the lucky ones to be privileged to listen to it and to have the open mind to understand the greatness of such a project.
The message is to keep tuned in to the Eternal!
Roger Hodgson est comparable à Roger Waters des Pink Floyd si on revient à l'histoire de la création et des péripéties du groupe. Tous les deux sont issus de famille aisée, Waters ayant fait plus d'études supérieures, mais leur génie est quasi similaire. Créateurs d'opéra rock à couper le souffle, tels que "Crime of the century" et ce fameux "fool's ouverture" pour Hodgson, et Atom Heart Mother + echoes pour Waters. Leur rivalité et leur ego-centrisme avec leur alliés du groupe: Guilmour pour Waters et Davies pour Hodgson en font des révoltés sans appel. L'unique différence que j'entrevois est peut-être celle qui fait que Hodgson loue à merveille Winston Churchill, ainsi que les faits d'armes des Britaniques lors de le seconde guerre mondiale dans crime of the century, et que Waters dénigre tous ceux qui ont fait la guerre (étant anti militariste) en critiquant ouvertement Margareth Thacher pour la guerre aux malouines.
Crime of the Century is probably in the top 100 rock albums of all time.
I’d probably rank it in MY Too 50….screw those stupid RS lists…
He podido escuchar este tema miles de veces y cada vez que lo oigo😃saco nuevos matices ,,increible, yo tenia 14 años la primera vez.
Esta canción va más allá del rock o el pop. Es una auténtica obra de arte. Se debe considerar como una auténtica sinfonía de música clásica.
With a full orchestra and choir really puts the song to the next level
Fool's Overture
History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea
Born on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
"Too late", the prophets cry
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky
Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride
Everyone was laughing up until the day he died
And though the wound went deep
Still he's calling us out of our sleep
My friends, we're not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home
So tell me that you find it hard to grow
Well I know, I know, I know
And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow
Well I know, I know, I know
Can you hear what I'm saying
Can you see the parts that I'm playing
"Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie
Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie"
So you found your solution
What will be your last contribution?
"Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy?
Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy
Yeah!
Until the end of times...
Time of falkland war
Considering I lived in Liverpool from 62-65 and had Beatles records before the world even knew who they were, I can honestly say this song is a Masterpiece. I have seen Supertramp 4 times in 40 yrs. of going to concerts, and this is real music! Not the pop tart crap they put out today!!!
Mr. Hodgson sure knows how to put on a great show.
Roger Hodgson co-founded Supertramp in 1969 and was the driving force behind what fans call the 14 golden years of the band.
Having worked with this amazing, gentle, and talented man, and SUPERTRAMP, I can say without a doubt, He/They deserve EVERY accolade He/They get.
I love the people with "talking life experience " thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏🙏
one of the best musics ever arranged!even in the quietest moments is a wonderfull and fantastic album,i canot recall the times i heard this song and the album.
So true....
The making of 'gutter oil'
Rui Calado Amen to that, brother
This band was a revelation back when I was a teenager and it is still doing it for me today...
This song means so much at this time WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER 😔
Milli try choirs not possible in most counties, its amans world
We shall never surrender to rap. We shall never surrender to rubbish like the X Factor.
In Montreal, he is considered a GOD of music, along with Dennis DeYoung.
El enorme talento de un genio de la música, impresionante!!
This is the best fools overture I have ever listened too, truly amazing
A música mais linda que já ouvi uma emoção inexplicável deve ser porque sou super fã.
Nem consigo expressar o que sinto quando escuto essa música, é um misto de saudade, alegria, tristeza, nostalgia... É uma pena que o tempo passe, mas o que é bom sempre fica no coração.
Eu tam bien.Marie Beijinhos Suecia 🥰❤🙋♀️
Words are insufficient for this song. Supertramp, we are so lucky to have witnessed your music.
Je suis en train de réfléchir, je ne me rappelle plus depuis combien de temps j'aime ce morceau !!!!!!!! Mais si mes souvenirs sont bons, ça fait au moins 40 ans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Je confirme et c'est toujours un régal pour moi !!!! Peu de personnes sont d'accord avec moi, peu importe !!!!!!!!! Chacun a le droit de donner ses opinions, après tout....Si personne n'a les mêmes opinions que moi ! Pas grave, tout le monde a le droit d'exprimer ses opinions, positives ou non, c'est le droit de chacun !!!!!!sur ce, bonne fin de nuit !!!!!!!
I’ve just collected my father-in-laws ashes, and my parents are gone, I have a few friends and some great family close by, and I’m happy with what I’ve lived through, experienced in life, and places I’ve been. I have life left to experience more. This song has been with my since the mid 80s, when I first heard Supertramp, and it’ll stay with me until my end of days….. it’s haunting, yet fulfilling, desolate and full of hope, positive and enhancing my emotions, and it has been for 40 years…. How such a beautiful piece can be made, and not exist in its own right in nature is mesmerising to me. It’s as perfect as any living organism on the strange planet. I hope you gain as much as I do from Roger and the band…. It’s is truly an event to hear it every time. Thanks Supertramp, and thanks Neil Williams for introducing me to this.
