  • 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."

    "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

    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.

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.

    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'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".

      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.

    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.

    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!

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.
