Remembering driving home from an all-night high school graduation party back in June 1980 in Los Angeles, the song came on the radio along with the sunrise, I would never forget it. We went to Denny's and had breakfast, just like the title of the album..."Breakfast in America."
Supertramp is an intelligent band that incorporated a lot of traditional rock, pop rock, and art rock into their music. I always just labeled them as an art rock band along with another intelligent band called 10cc. It is well worth exploring their deeper cuts (both Supertramp & 10cc).
I love how halfway through Lex is like "its so heartwarming" when the songs about a guy saying goodbye to all his one-night stands lol. Anyways the production and arrangement on this song is great.
@@Layjus123 I think they probably intentionally wrote in the double meaning there. The lyrics make sense either way. But regardless of which way you go with it, I still think its funny describing the song as heartwarming lol
@@Layjus123 i always thought it was about touring and the one night stands but now comment is making me see this differently. Goodbye mary, goodbye jane..... hmm 😂
When I was 13 years old here in Toronto, I went to the fair (CNE) and in one of those sideshow games where you win small, usually worthless prizes, I won my very first prize ever, a Supertramp Breakfast In America record lol. I had no idea who these guys were and pondered throwing it out somewhere so I can enjoy the rest of the evening at the fair but, thankfully, I held on to that thing for the rest of the night and the very next day when I finally put it on my parents ancient, cheesy, disco ball turntable, I was mesmerized at the beautiful sounds coming out of that thing. I think I listened to that record so many times, it turned white. One of the all time best rock albums, I'd rate it up there with Pink Floyd's Dark Side, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours etc.. fantastic band.
Lmaoooo!! That’s a great story!! :) I love it! Perhaps we’ve crossed paths at the CNE! 🤣 I saw supertramp in 83’ at the CNE!! Was so sad when they tore it down.. saw so many amazing shows there! Big props to you for shleping thru your day and hanging on to Breakfast in America!! 🤘🏼 Yooo.. I just realized something.. 🤔 I’m 53 now.. born in Toronto in ‘69.. I went to the Exhibition stadium to see Supertramp in ‘83… so I was like.. how old?!! OMGGG i was 13 too!!!! Hahahaa! Small world.. 😜 Ya ya ya.. I was trying to figure it out🤣 I was indeed 13 cause my birthday comes about 3 weeks after the CNE closes every year.. I was about to turn 14! :)
Right, it perfectly conveys his cavalier ways. It's essentially about a guy who loves women in general too much to stick with any one of them. I mean, what other takeaway can you have with lines like, "Just the thought of those sweet ladies sends a shiver though my veins?" ;)
I was in 8th grade when "Breakfast in America" was released. My English teacher brought in song lyrics for songs as a way to help teach poetry to kids in a way that was relatable. At the time, all the kids thought here we go again, an adult trying to be cool. BUT, one day see came in with lyrics from this album. He told us his 17 year-old son recently purchased the album and after hearing the lyrics, he and his son had a deep conversation about many topics that concern parents and children, like drug use, heartache, etc. So he brought the lyrics into class. I remember discussing Child of Vision in particular, as a class exercise interpreting the meaning behind the lyrics. Just like you guys are doing in this reaction. I bought the album the next day. Yes, my 8th grade English teacher introduced me to Supertramp, and, consequently, Mary Jane too.
Guys, its about one night stands. Nothing more, nothing less. Feel no sorrow, feel no shame. It's the life I've chosen, everyday. He wakes up in a new town and has to say goodbye to women all over again wondering if they will ever meet again.
Super tramp is legend & loved by millions+!!!!! Love love & LOVE Supertramp!!!!! Been a dedicated listener since the 70's. So positive & lovely classic rock!!!!
Wow this song brought a smile to Brad. Loved his comment about the structure of this song and the meaning of it! haha. But anyway I think this is one of the best songs ever. Regards from Chile!!
Even in the quietest moments, Lord is it mine, Casual conversations, Fools overture. When it comes to Supertramp there are so many great songs to listen to.
Absolutely need to check out “Even In The Quietest Moment”, my favorite. Also “School”, “Take The Long Way Home” and “Crime of the Century” Oh, and one of their lesser played songs, “Cannonball”
I find it hard to understand how anyone likes Casual Conversations. I always found it much less enjoyable than any other song on the album. Skipped every chance I had.
@@protovision2010 I was at the outdoor Concert in Toronto, when Roger announced he was leaving the band. I think that was their Famous Last Words Tour??? It was awesome.
awesome.... you have no idea how mega ST was in the late 70's... they were massive and somehow they owned their own style and sound completely... love it... special.
The song just wouldn't be the same without it for sure. Because they were from prog rock, they were one of the few bands who would end a composition on a solo. As in other cases where they did it, I really works well.
Supertramp did some seriously good music. Breakfast in America is one of several great albums. Tasty little tune about one night stands, this. Cheers....
To me, this song is what he’s telling the different ladies that he meets going from town to town. Basically “Hey, it’s been fun. Hope your life works out, but I’m on to the next town, next adventure, next woman.”
Love Supertramp , this is about him going to different places and meeting strangers, spending night or whatever and then telling them he has to move on and be free. he cant be tied down and wondering if ever meet them again
Before marriage/twins I spent many years travelling Europe and Asia, mostly backpacking, and you meet a series of wonderful people you really connect with and often swear you’ll keep in your life, but you never really do. Over time you kinda come to know that’ll come true even while you’re swearing to yourself this one will be different.
To me the lyrics sound like he has just had a one night stand with two ladies and is leaving in the morning. One of the best songs I have ever heard from beginning to end. And that guitar at the end is so good. I never want it to stop.
Alex, I have heard this song many times over many years, and I never got the meaning like you just explained it here... Damn girl, you have a natural way of getting songs...
The band is on the road touring, great to meet you, but we have to keep moving on, will we ever meet again, we don't know, hope your life goes well !! Thanks very much for sharing your reaction with us Brad & Lex. Hope you and your dear families have a wonderful week!!
One of the best outros in the history of music! This and Journey's "Be Good to Yourself" always pop in my head when I think of perfect outros. I savor every note!
This was on the Breakfast in America album. A great album. And goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane was…. Whatever your name is Miss one night stand. Maryjane was a thing before this songs time. We just smoked pot! 🤪 Love watching your reactions!
Wife here..Literally heard this song all my life.."Have to have things my own way to keep me in my youth"..I'm happily married..47..Wondering where the time has gone..Getting to make a big life change..Hoping all will be all right.."I guess I wonder if it will be the "PARADISE".I'm imagining...Goodbye for me...Love Your insights!!..Thank you for reviewing Supertramp!!
Lex had it right again! I used to focus on the Maryjane connection but actually it's about their experiences as a famous rock band. As Lex had it, getting close or even lovers with strangers from various places, then leaving knowing you would most likely never see them again. I'm quite amazed how fast Lex gets it. Every song on this album "Breakfast in America" is a winner with me! Their all feel good songs
As I've stated a hundred times before, I'm a veteran of now, 1033 concerts (# goes up almost weekly) seeing just about every band you can think of in all musical genres since 1973. Still till this day, "Supertramp Breakfast in America" tour during 1979 is still in my top 3 concerts of all time. Simply a perfect performing "live" band if there ever was.
This is my favorite Supertramp song! I was so stoked to see this reaction pop up!! I was 15 when this came out, 1979, and I bought the album. Great memories! I didn't know for many years that this song is about "One night stands"!
This is a super special song for me, this is the same sweet and free-shame attitude that I love to have with girls, if we spent a beautiful time together but the feelings are passed away don't feel ashamed, see you tomorrow or whenever, friends like strangers that I knew before, have a good life and we'll meet again, maybe today! Jane. Mary for me are just girls name, this is what I feel for this incredible song! Thanks for sharing this reaction guys!
This song will forever be entwined in my adolescent years, specifically the summer of ‘79, with bittersweet memories of a (really cute) guy I met one day during summer break then never saw again until about 30 years later and he was, and is, happily married to a girl I went to school with. This song was released that same summer and any time I have heard it since then it sends me reeling back to that summer and those “lovesick” feelings ❤💔❤️💔
When compact music discs were new there was a distributor of original studio masters who knew that music CDs could preserve the finest of studio recordings. One of the few albums that Mobile Fidelity put onto gold-plated CD master recordings was Supertramp's 'Crime of the Century' album. This bit of recording history ought to tell you how good Supertramp is.
Keep going with Supertramp. CANNONBALL, DREAMER, HIDE IN YOUR SHELL, & IT'S RAINING AGAIN. They always bring the best musical temperament to each song. Nothing like exploring territory with artists that care.
Literally the cutest thing you thought the song was about an actual platonic encounter with a stranger lol. Awesome reaction For the record, it's about one nighters lol
Supertramp often uses contrasts in the way that their lyrics and music fit together. The album, Breakfast in America, which this song is from, is loaded with them. To me this song has a light hearted feel and speaks about a guy enjoying the rock star lifestyle. The guitar solo at the end has an emotional feel to me and provides the counterpoint.
One of my favorite classic rock songs. The truth serum on kill Bill was called the undisputed truth in the last act and I seen the guitarist in concert
7:00 missed connections before technology. It was a different time, and I can say I never missed any meeting or appointment in my life. I am 57. Love this song, thanks for the reaction
My fave Supertramp song for the outro alone! Definitely cruise with the windows down to this one! 💗 Brad, I think there are 2 Supertramp songs you might like: 1) Take the Long Way Home (a MUST for both of you) - it really has a dual meaning, and it has harmonica that I think Lex would love! 2) The Logical Song - it has lyrics to create introspection and has depth, and I know Brad's all about breaking down those lyrics! 😁
I love the way Lex reacts to songs that I like as well. She is always looking at Brad and smiling hoping he will like the song, but usually he does not…
Watching people reacting to Supertramp always puts a smile on my face. I've been a fan of theirs since the seventies. Fool's Overture and Crime of the Century are very good songs that I think you would like. Actually, just about anything by them.
Goodbye Stranger's such a sweet, tuneful song for most of it, and slowly morphs into sort of an Indian raga psychedelic rockin' jam, at the end eh? Supertramp are a deep well. "Bloody Well Right" "Dreamer" "Give a Little Bit" "Breakfast In America" "Oh Darling" "Child of Vision" "It's Raining Again" "The Logical Song" "Take the Long Way Home"
This song just sounds like a happy, upbeat rock and roll song to me, nothing out of the ordinary as far as classic rock goes. Although it had its uniqueness as well. Its own flavor. Interesting to see how different people view things from different perspectives according to their past experience and environment.
Supertramp are great! I have a few albums of theirs. They never disappoint. Even in the quietest moments is my favourite album. It`s also a fantastic song.
Man i relate to this song, reminds me of 2010, when a girl contacted me to say, you're my DAD. Oh and by the way? You have 3 grandchildren... Suddenly i got old, that'll teach me for bed hopping about the place. 70's & 80's were a different time indeed. Willy Nelson said it, 'to all the girls i've loved before'.... LOL

Does this man ever show emotion?. You go girl
I think I could watch Lex react to anything...simply adorable....so genuine
Remembering driving home from an all-night high school graduation party back in June 1980 in Los Angeles, the song came on the radio along with the sunrise, I would never forget it. We went to Denny's and had breakfast, just like the title of the album..."Breakfast in America."
The outro of that song is AAAAAAAAAAAMAZING!!!
Supertramp is an intelligent band that incorporated a lot of traditional rock, pop rock, and art rock into their music. I always just labeled them as an art rock band along with another intelligent band called 10cc. It is well worth exploring their deeper cuts (both Supertramp & 10cc).
Whistling, falsetto, a major hook.. 😻Land O'Goshen, it's Supertramp!
I love how halfway through Lex is like "its so heartwarming" when the songs about a guy saying goodbye to all his one-night stands lol. Anyways the production and arrangement on this song is great.
I always thought it was about saying goodbye to his cannabis usage but okay haha.
@@Layjus123 no, that’s Tom Petty’s Last Dance With Mary Jane. 😉
@@Layjus123 I think they probably intentionally wrote in the double meaning there. The lyrics make sense either way. But regardless of which way you go with it, I still think its funny describing the song as heartwarming lol
@@Layjus123 i always thought it was about touring and the one night stands but now comment is making me see this differently. Goodbye mary, goodbye jane..... hmm 😂
Guess it's up to interpretation of each person.....I personally thought it was about left handed cigarettes as well 🕊️
Lex is literally the epitome of a "good time". She's always grooving, I'm so jealous I wish I could be as happy as her!
And stunningly beautiful aswell

Ya ya ya.. I was trying to figure it out🤣 I was indeed 13 cause my birthday comes about 3 weeks after the CNE closes every year.. I was about to turn 14! :)
Timeless, top 10 album in all rock history if you ask me. I'll never get tired to listen to it, actually the more I listen the more I enjoy.
LOVED that story
@@Music-Is-Real-Love Thanks Lisa ☺
I appreciate your point of view. I can definitely relate.
Yeah! Supertramp is so good!
Great albums and many amazing songs
I love how they added the whistling in this song. It really conveys the care free attitude the singer is talking about.
For some really great whistling in a song, try Jungle Love by The Steve Miller Band.
Right, it perfectly conveys his cavalier ways. It's essentially about a guy who loves women in general too much to stick with any one of them. I mean, what other takeaway can you have with lines like, "Just the thought of those sweet ladies sends a shiver though my veins?" ;)
Singer's
Love that guitar solo at the end.
Brad & Lex, you will LOVE their "Dreamer" and "Give A Little Bit"!!! Most of their songs contain a great solo!
LOL, the song is about a member of a rock band leaving behind a trail of groupies in his wake.
Yes. I'll up-vote both those songs for a reaction.
Give a Little Bit was one of my self-pitying after a breakup songs.
Right .. you're bloody well right
Just Another Nervous Wreck and It's Raining Again are great too

Some of they do, some of they don't, and some you just can't tell... it's definitely about women he came to know on his endless journey.
Super tramp is legend & loved by millions+!!!!! Love love & LOVE Supertramp!!!!! Been a dedicated listener since the 70's. So positive & lovely classic rock!!!!
This song is just about a guy hooking up and saying goodbye in the morning. I always love how the organ kicks in so dramatically.
Wow this song brought a smile to Brad. Loved his comment about the structure of this song and the meaning of it! haha.
But anyway I think this is one of the best songs ever.

oh you are picking some deep cuts and some great one!
Can't let this list go any further before someone has to mention Rudy. Guess it's me
I find it hard to understand how anyone likes Casual Conversations. I always found it much less enjoyable than any other song on the album. Skipped every chance I had.
Don't forget Hide in your shell and Lord is it mine
Another classic 1980's rock radio station staple song. A wonderful song.
Breakfast in America had 4 hit songs on it. The album went quadruple platinum and was the top album in the US pop charts for 6 weeks.
It made it to Sweden too!
Had their highest sales in Canada. We love em here! :)
@@protovision2010 I was at the outdoor Concert in Toronto, when Roger announced he was leaving the band. I think that was their Famous Last Words Tour??? It was awesome.
Videos killed supertramp
awesome.... you have no idea how mega ST was in the late 70's... they were massive and somehow they owned their own style and sound completely... love it... special.
that song is a masterpiece...
A very strong track elevated to classic status by the instrumental finale.
The song just wouldn't be the same without it for sure. Because they were from prog rock, they were one of the few bands who would end a composition on a solo. As in other cases where they did it, I really works well.
@@s.mcpherson6354 Well said. I always hated the radio edit that clipped off the ending guitar solo.
Hodgesons solo at the end is voted as one of the all time top 100 solos btw.
You just want it not to finish.......
The ending is a total eargasm!
Yes structurely today everything is the same. Because '70s, '80s, '90s music is creative as heck that is why it is as popular as back then.
My favorite song of all time. Glad you liked it 🥰
I always did love this song. Supertramp really has some excellent music that I think gets overlooked
They never play Supertramp on the radio but will play Hotel California 100 times a day.
Supertramp did some seriously good music. Breakfast in America is one of several great albums. Tasty little tune about one night stands, this. Cheers....
To me, this song is what he’s telling the different ladies that he meets going from town to town.
Basically “Hey, it’s been fun. Hope your life works out, but I’m on to the next town, next adventure, next woman.”
One of the best love'Um and Leave'Um songs ever. Enjoy
The musicianship and production on ANYTHING Supertramp recorded was superb!
The guitar solo at the end is my favorite part of this song.
I haven't heard this in years, but holy fuck, I love this song.
🤣😂 I think I just saw Brad’s mind explode 🤯. That guitar solo at the end was awesome.
One of the best composed lead outs on one of the best composed songs ever....
Oh, yes! One of my top, favorite bands and songs of the 70's!!
SUPERTRAMP are ABSOLUTE PHENOMENAL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ watch ghere concerts !!!!!! 😍 Live in Paris 1979 ❤
The most delicious combination of music instrument creating an irresistible groove. Love it!
Love Supertramp , this is about him going to different places and meeting strangers, spending night or whatever and then telling them he has to move on and be free. he cant be tied down and wondering if ever meet them again
This song is the musical equivalent of a spring day when you roll the windows down in your car and just crank tunes in the warm sunshine.
Still one of the smoothest guitar solos in history. Not a note wasted or out of place. It flowed like a fast moving river.
One of my favorite bands since, forever.
Before marriage/twins I spent many years travelling Europe and Asia, mostly backpacking, and you meet a series of wonderful people you really connect with and often swear you’ll keep in your life, but you never really do. Over time you kinda come to know that’ll come true even while you’re swearing to yourself this one will be different.

@@larryh.5229 Quite right.
Yes. That's still my favorite, even though I've heard it a million times.

More Supertramp! Love Supertramp music! He was talking about all the one night stands he had in the different cities and it's not about being stoned.
Lex had it right again! I used to focus on the Maryjane connection but actually it's about their experiences as a famous rock band. As Lex had it, getting close or even lovers with strangers from various places, then leaving knowing you would most likely never see them again. I'm quite amazed how fast Lex gets it.

Supertramp is just fantastic to listen to... great nice afternoon out by the pool or driving with the top down music.
Roger's guitar work on this song is outstanding.
Goodbye Toby it's been nice, hope you find your paradise... TOBY TOBY TOBY🤣🤣🤣

I was 15 when this came out, 1979, and I bought the album. Great memories! I didn't know for many years that this song is about "One night stands"!
Amazing album, brings you right back to where you were when you first heard it.
One of my top five bands. So many great songs.
Love 'em and leave 'em...and keep on trucking
This is a super special song for me, this is the same sweet and free-shame attitude that I love to have with girls, if we spent a beautiful time together but the feelings are passed away don't feel ashamed, see you tomorrow or whenever, friends like strangers that I knew before, have a good life and we'll meet again, maybe today! Jane. Mary for me are just girls name, this is what I feel for this incredible song! Thanks for sharing this reaction guys!
Great reaction as always. I don't think I stop smiling the entire time you two are reacting. Thanks for your joy!!! Bless you both.

Supertramp was such a talented and unique band with so many good songs.
This song is about a guy who loves 'em and then leaves 'em.
Has to be the most well put together song about a one stand of all time
Literally the cutest thing you thought the song was about an actual platonic encounter with a stranger lol. Awesome reaction

I love the rich build of sound in this song. The layering in of different instruments along with excellent lyrics makes for such a unique sound.
My favourite Supertramp song! I LOVE IT! GREAT REACTION, GUYS!
Lex always looks like she loves music and is really enjoying herself on every song.
One of many great numbers by Supertramp. Apart from the fine suggestions below you could give 'School' a listen as well.
7:00 missed connections before technology. It was a different time, and I can say I never missed any meeting or appointment in my life. I am 57. Love this song, thanks for the reaction
The whole song is great but the jam at the end is absolutely insane!!!! One of my favorites of all time!!!!
It kills me when the radio cuts that part off.
Now I need to hear more about Lex’s adventures in Germany. 🇩🇪
My fave Supertramp song for the outro alone! Definitely cruise with the windows down to this one! 💗 Brad, I think there are 2 Supertramp songs you might like:
1) Take the Long Way Home (a MUST for both of you) - it really has a dual meaning, and it has harmonica that I think Lex would love!
2) The Logical Song - it has lyrics to create introspection and has depth, and I know Brad's all about breaking down those lyrics! 😁
Wow that's the best memory ever I could just imagine saying goodbye I've been in that situation similar good for you very impressive
Lex - "I feel our musical tastes are so different!" Right? But that's what makes this channel so fun!!
"School" from the album "Crime of the Century" is Supertramp at their shredding best.
Absolutely!
Most definitely. Played this out loud at high school when I was,a senior.pissed off the teachers ah screw em
"Meaning" is one of my favourites. Supertramp were brilliant at building a song.
"Far out" Hahaha. I love it! You're so cool Lex. You're no slouch either Brad. You two are the best!
I love the way Lex reacts to songs that I like as well. She is always looking at Brad and smiling hoping he will like the song, but usually he does not…
Watching people reacting to Supertramp always puts a smile on my face. I've been a fan of theirs since the seventies. Fool's Overture and Crime of the Century are very good songs that I think you would like. Actually, just about anything by them.
I love this band!! Thank you for reacting to this fantastic song.
Goodbye Stranger's such a sweet, tuneful song for most of it, and slowly morphs into sort of an Indian raga psychedelic rockin' jam, at the end eh? Supertramp are a deep well. "Bloody Well Right" "Dreamer" "Give a Little Bit" "Breakfast In America" "Oh Darling" "Child of Vision" "It's Raining Again" "The Logical Song" "Take the Long Way Home"
The "Breakfast In America" was a great album!
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite Bands! 🖤🖤🖤
The sweetest Wham Bam, thank you Ma’am song. Maybe I’ll catch you on our next tour! 😂😂😂
This song just sounds like a happy, upbeat rock and roll song to me, nothing out of the ordinary as far as classic rock goes. Although it had its uniqueness as well. Its own flavor.

Supertramp are great! I have a few albums of theirs. They never disappoint. Even in the quietest moments is my favourite album. It`s also a fantastic song.
"Gone Hollywood" "Child of Vision" "Another Nervous Wreck"
Heard playing at every skating rink in the country back in the day!
Man i relate to this song, reminds me of 2010, when a girl contacted me to say, you're my DAD.
Oh and by the way? You have 3 grandchildren... Suddenly i got old, that'll teach me for bed hopping about the place.
70's & 80's were a different time indeed. Willy Nelson said it, 'to all the girls i've loved before'.... LOL
My damn theme song! I never look behind me my troubles will be few!
