Oh the 80's...how I long for you.
And the 70s 😊
Would an 80's lucid dream be out of possibility?
Bravo. Sublime version... ! (1979 ! )
Needs more cowbell
Great cover. Absolutely love Supertramp. Please do 'Goodbye Stranger'
The man that was the muse for this song was the "5th" member of Supertramp by the name of Russel Pope. He was my mentor and band manager. He died a few years back and I miss him greatly. Some songs live forever. This nice reinterpretation of Logical means a whole new group of young people get to enjoy a great song and learn in a roundabout about my friend Russel. Thanks Pomplamoose...
❤️
how can a song be interoperated? a single beat , one sentence means whatever it means to that soul
That song is really straight forward, your mentor should have taught you that RIP
@@musomaster9027 As someone from that culture, your insults to those actually suffering from trauma reduce you to the level of your critique.
@@JelMain sorry mate. I’ve deleted the comment it wasn’t very nice of me. I was trying to be clever pointing out the comment that at the time seemed distasteful. Even on my re-reading it wasn’t a good comment from me. Thanks for your honesty
A match made in heaven. The Pomplamoose style is the perfect match for Supertramp. Nailed it guys!
Yes great version Nataly and Pomplamoose - here are the lyrics:
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well, they'd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the world's asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, presentable, a vegetable!
At night, when all the world's asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.

Agreed
This is done in one the recognised Pomplamoose styles. It is a very enjoyable rendition, very faithful to the spirit of the original. When I saw they had covered this one, I was hoping they were going to use one of their other knowwn styles - the groove funk approach. I was disappointed they didn't do that, but all the same, this was a very fine song.
Came here to make this comment. Perfect.
There's a lesser known song by Supertramp called Downstream that I think is really beautiful. I think Pomplamoose would rock it. The same could be said for From Now On by Supertramp.
A 20 something group of young artists digging out what was some of the most defining songs of who I am now at 58, well, leaves me breathless. And full of tears. Thank you so much.
I feel like if you ever got into an argument with her she would just look at you with that stare and start singing a cover. Then things would be cool again.
Supertramp is the most underrated band ever. Such a joy watching talented youngs recreating fantastic songs. Fantastic... You make my day!!!!
Underrated? I lived the 80's and they were on the top
I always saw them as rated nicely. Still seek the music today. Lyrical genius.
No they were not underrated. Think of a better word.
Read Wikipedia, please, thanks you.
I’m super curious how their cover of “Dancing in the Moonlight” would be ♡
Yes!!! I LOVE THAT SONG.
@@Pomplamoose Think about "Break It Down Again"
@@Pomplamoose please do it!!!
Yessssss!
By what artist though? Because there are a lot of different songs called that way. I vote Thin Lizzy's!
Absolutely no-one can recreate the sax solo as we know it from the original recording. Not even Supertramp themselves can do that Live. It was just uniquely conserved in the studio. So it's perfectly alright that Pomplamoose don't even bother and instead offer their very own version. Absolutely well done.
I hear you, but would it not be amazing to see someone try. This is amazing, but that sound, that past, it's transcendent.
@@Guido1212 Well, everybody's free to try, but I'll stick to my attitude on this matter.
I've seen RUclipsrs with 500 subscribers doing it perfectly, in this version that gap is the weak point of the performance.
I was 14 or 15 when I first heard this song. It haunted me then, and it still speaks to me now in my fifties!
Thanks for a great interpretation of a classic!
Man, you summed up what I wanted to say. I listened to this song so much when I was a kid. I'm 22 now, so the time difference is not that big, but I almost forgot about it and then YT hits me with this video. It's been a long time since I shared tears of joy because of music, thanks for that. Guess it's time to get out the vinyl record again! :)
Natalie's voice is a crystal drill through space.
Being a child of the 80s myself, the way you not just copied the 80s style, but embraced it as if it never went away almost brought tears in my eyes.
Nat & Jack ... isn't it interesting that Supertramp's "The Logical Song" ... which came out in 1979 ... still has so much relevance in 2020 ??? ... Bart
Supertramp is a 70s band
I just realized the content of the words fully and I heard it a 100 times back in the 70´s. Sometimes we need a retake on things. Thanks for this, It made me speechless . What more musical poetry made in the 70´s deserves attention to layer it upon our contemporary age ? It was ordinary radio pop muscic back then, and now its evolved as a serious comment for our times at hand. Who would have thought
Копайте глубже. В нашем мире очень много скрытых смыслов;)
Wow, I love the slide guitar in place of the theremin they use in the original, you nailed that part.
Brian Green actually produced this. It was a great call.
If you need one, I'm selling my theremin....
I haven't touched it in years.
@@thefunkosaurus if that wasn't a joke, it definitely could be (punch line on the "touch").
Love Roger Hodgson. His music has been a part of my life for more than 40 years. I have to say you guys are doing a great job with his songs.
I think that this is your best cover song so far!
The Logical Song was the number 1 song in Canada for 1979. I saw Roger Hodgson in concert a few years ago in Vancouver. He still has it!
Oh... This brings me back a few decades... I always loved this song, still love it, and you guys did full justice to it! I was humming all the way!
Song about Pomplamoose music: wonderful, magical, beautiful!
THIS, this is the song that I found you by. All of your songs have been great!
Hello Pomplamoose, I'm from Germany and I love the music you make. Please never stop. I get a dose of your music every day that makes my day better. I thank you all for that. love you. and stay healthy.🙏😘
Today I am almost 60 and, somehow, I almost learned that rationality and emotions coexist somewhere inside me, but that was not always so evident, there was a time when there was a crisis of 30. It was then that I dusted off the old Supertramp album (Bon soir Paris ... You know what I mean).
Recording a song like that is not easy. This is one of those songs whose original recording is almost perfect. Singing it very differently will only make it worse. Singing it just imitating Supertramp would only demote you. It's like trying to re-record Billy Holiday or Sing along with Pavarotti. It is almost certain to fail. When I decided to listen to them I was sure I would regret it, but even so I went .....
The keyboard entered (- it's an imitation - I thought). A voice came in, beautiful and different. The perfect diction and a certain softness (- Lack of emotion - I insisted). But then I realized that the emotion that was missing was not hers, it was mine. I am no longer 30 years old and I am no longer in crisis. I listened more carefully, let the music invade my ears and mind. I let the memories invade my thoughts and found everything there where it should be. At the end I found:
I can't believe I'm saying this, but your recording was (better not to say). Do not know. Perhaps.
Fine.
Your recording was even more beautiful than theirs.
OK. I said.
Their recording was a sophisticated take on what is pop canon, but it ENDED TOO SOON. It should have gone on with the rest of it, and it would have have been amazing to see her break out of her controlled vocal state by riffing - in HER way - at the end like the original...
That is the thing about this group, I love their discipline, just like Supertramp's, but Supertramp was about going beyond the discipline into individuality and real creativity.
oh we know believe that ace
I didn't realize that this was the cover I've been waiting for this whole time.
Don't ever finish your project, I have a store in Guimaraes Portugal and your music plays a lot and people join the dance floor, it's simply incredible. I love it.
I am one of those weird people who ALWAYS wanted to see Pomplemoose do this song.
It was better than I expected 😭
I'd be honored if some fans of the Pomplamoose style of organic covers would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of IT'S RAINING AGAIN by Supertramp, YOU'RE THE ONLY WOMAN by Ambrosia, and WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES by Michael McDonald on my YT channel in tribute to the great music of the late 70s/early 80s period. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
Une superbe chanson, et votre version est fabuleuse !! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Votre voix et votre rythme brillent, et toute l'équipe (les musiciens) est fantastique !! 👍👍👍👍👍
Terrific! Still smiling that Jack wasn't acquainted with this Supertramp song 🙂
The original rocked, but DAMN. Pomplamoose made it their own with this cover! Lush vocals, lil bit of funk...Nice spin on it! Needs to be released on top 40 or Alt Nation. It's REALLY THAT damn good!!
I LOVE THIS SONG, I gasped when I saw this in my notifs!!! You guys ROCKED IT as always!
i'm a 75 year old hardcore supertramp fan and ex bar band musician. the original pales beneath this cover imho. you kids brought an old man to tears. thanks so much!
I'd love to see a Pomplamoose electro-funk take on "Breakfast in America".
I need it.
“Can we have kippers for breakfast? Mommy dear, mommy dear?”
Bloody well right! I’m 58 and I’ve been listening to Supertramp since high school and you guys did a righteous cover!
One of my favorite songs from the time. Breakfast In America was a fantastic album. This is a wonderful, creative cover, and Nataly seemed to cut loose a bit more than usual with her singing - really going for it - which is an excellent thing! Thank you.
my mum used to play the original all the time
now shes gone
but this song reminds me of her - thank you :)
everyone blends so powerfully. the vocals give a new atmospheric soul to this complex song!
Such an angelical voice. I swear her voice can be so heavenly at times that it makes me want to cry.
Love the lush sound. I miss the 80's. But then, I miss 2019.
Released in 79' but I hear you.
Great cover. The purist in me still longs for the clarinet and sax parts. I’m a child of ‘68 and heard this the first time through a hotel wall radio on a family trip; left to watch my sisters while mom and dad went to have a drink at the hotel bar. But I remember the song clearly. (Some pro wrestling was on the tv in the room, but it was on mute.) Anyway… just a memory from my past as I listen to your performance. Good job. 😎
As a big fan of Supertramp and the original version of this song, I do have to say that you guys did a fantastic job with your interpretation of this. Very nice, and thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Not a fan of Supertramp, but always liked this song. Like it even more now, because you guys are THE BEST
Nice take on a classic. Similar enough to not detract from the greatness of the original but with enough difference to be inspiring to a new audience. Well done with that arrangement.
I listened to this version at least 30 times in the last 24 hours while riding my dirt bike in the Rockies, it makes me very happy. ❤️
This is a fantastic reinterpretation of "The Logical Song". Whether the saxophone solo has to be included is a matter of opinion. Because the instrumental arrangement has largely been changed here. In my opinion, the sax is not missing at all in this version. Greetings from 🇩🇪
I didn't even notice it was missing!
@@jglasernyc That's an argument, great!
Agree it sounds less disco like that
well said… this version stands strong as it is
VERY Impressive! And I'm even from those times! Very good rendition.
Beautiful adaptation of the original arrangement. Brings focus to the lyric message far more effectively than even the original. Fabulous vocals. Bravo!
my heart.....it's divided across the decades. This beauty takes every emotion and mixes them into tears of pure ecstacy. Utopia exists in music
Holy cow. I don't usually have the highest expectations for covers when I click on them. This cover changes that. That was REALLY good! It has the amount of Supertramp that doesn't drown out what makes the song good. But, you guys added your own things to the song, which made it your own. It's unique. Terrific job!
Got me at the music... breathtaking talent.
What strikes me even more... I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful group, ever. The joy and enthusiasm is almost overwhelming.
If I were deaf I'd still listen to this... well watch it anyhow, with my hands on the speakers.
This song ends about 5 minutes too early. I wish I could hear more of that breakdown at the end, beautiful stuff!
Supertramp "Breakfast in America", 1979. One of the best albums of those time. And Logical Song -- greatest hit by Roger. Thanks to Pomplamoos for the best cover. Nataly -- thanks for your vocals version.
Masterpiece. It just heals my mind instantly.
Who is the beautiful back up singer with the angelic voice?! Nataly and the group are fantastic but this back up singer adds so much to the final cut...
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh, responsible, practical
Then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am
I said, now, watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal
Oh, won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable
Oh, take, take, take it, yeah
But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please (oh, won't you tell me)
Please tell me what we've learned?
(Can you hear me?) I know it sounds absurd
(Oh, won't you tell me) please tell me who I am
Who I am, who I am, who I am
Ooh
Hey
'Cause I was feeling so logical
Yeah
D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Digital
Yeah, one, two, three, five
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Ooh, it's getting unbelievable
Yeah
Getting, getting, yeah, yeah
Uh, uh, uh, uh
I was lucky enough to see Supertramp perform this in person. I love this version!
Amazing performance of a magical song 🤍 You guys always inspire me to make my music better 🎵🎵
yur music is great too, akom! i subscribed !
amazing..amazing,simply amazing!
Wonderful. Brings so much memories. Wasn't even a big fan, but Breakfast in America is an integral part of the soundtrack of my youth (I was 16), all of my friends seemed to like them, so these songs just got stuck in my brain for ever (but in a good way)
I was also 16 when The Logical Song came out, back in the spring of 1979. I remember the huge impression that it left on me.
I love how you've revisited this great song, perfect balance between "modern touch" and respectful tribute to the original. And even though I love the sax part in Supertramp's version, I don't feel that anything is missing here - and it's a sax player writing!
Such a powerful song in the context of what we're all going through. Beautifully done. It fills my soul to see you all together. Thank you
Ficou linda essa música com vocês!!! Saudações brasileiras.

After listening to this version of yours over and over again I really enjoy the guitar background music and how it reminds me of the song "Classical Gas". 😀
As someone who has seen ST 9 times...own all the records on original vinyl...you guys rock. That has to be one of the best renditions of TLS I have seen. Well done....well done.../salute.
Guys, every time I hear new work from you, I get emotional with the dynamics and groove you put in that. Awesome!!!!!
We've had a Scooter version, and now a Pomplamoose version. I feel like that's about as far in opposite directions as we can go in terms of aesthetic. Pack it up guys, we're good :3
Ellie Harris Metal is missing...my dudes will think of something
I was far happier before listening to Scooter but... for the lazy: ruclips.net/video/4YxTa1AUqps/видео.html (EDIT: put up the correct link, thanks to @Ellie Harris)
@@manricorazzi it's an acquired taste lmao. Tho your link deffo doesnt go there. try ruclips.net/video/4YxTa1AUqps/видео.html
Go watch the Double Date version!
@@tigamaki1345 LOL right, I copypasted the wrong link, thank you :-D I was joking, of course, no music is unworthy of a listen, expecially when it's so far out your comfort zone
Incredible! Back in the good old days! Imagine... Nataly, Nahneen, Jack, Ben, Nick and... even Brian, at long last! Who could ask for anything more? I mean, really!
Beautiful job!
You guys should totally do a cover of Limelight by Rush; that would ROCK
Guys this was wonderful. I have to say, the addition of the slide on the electric guitar was brilliant. Subtle but brilliant.
Enamorado de la voz de la vocalista! Por favor, nunca se acaben.
Great SONG, GREAT Version. Very cool
Thank you. This is such a good version of an already excellent original. You're becoming one of my favorite groups.
you might enjoy this video that reveals their process of creation. Awesome to see how it all comes together ruclips.net/video/ye2dEokIyKE/видео.html
Another one completely knocked out of the park! Ive been following since 2010~ and Im blown away at the maturity and depth of your musicality over the last 10 years. Thank you for all of your hard work and bringing a smile to my face!
Maravilhosa versão. Vocês se superam sempre. Adoro os arranjos e a voz é demais..
This is a masterclass in putting your own spin on a classic song - it's different from the original but there's so much creativity in there too - gives the song a new lease of life. I could her the original sax in my head letting rip when I was listening to this version.
love the original song and fell in love with this cover
You magnified it! One of my favorite Supertramp song ...
I can't criticise a single thing about the musical performance, it was perfect, but it lacked cynicism which is the essence of the song.
Yeah, well, it is what it is.
Lack of cynicism is the cynicism of today.
And the ridiculous wearing of a masks... they are already physically distance... only for virtue signals... oh wait except the singers duh
Marcus Miller Well you see, the masks are because they have to watch what they say, or they'll be calling them radical-liberal, fanatical, criminal!
@@MM-zw3qp Imagine being this much of a snowflake
Magnifique ! Awesome ! Beaucoup de talent, une voix pure You can be proud of this cover. Fan de supertramp, j'adore !
Literally bought new headphones just to hear this better.
Jack, get some normal sleep
Simply outstanding. Loved Supertramp way back then and you just nailed it. Didn’t miss the sax at all.
Another one of those times I thought the cover was way better than the original. I'm flabbergasted. The chills started at the point where the four-to-the-floor basedrum kicked in. And the goosebumps rose even higher when the vocal harmonies started to sound so much like ABBA. You're gods to me. _bows down_
Today I heard "Ella, Elle L'A" by France Gall again since a long time and I thought that I would really like to hear a Pomplamoose version of it.
This was one of my favorite songs growing up back then. It was one of those songs that I thought I could never enjoy being played and sung by anyone else other than SuperTramp because of their unique style and voice.....then you came along.
What a great song to cover! The album BREAKFAST IN AMERICA came out when I was 13 (very much still the '70s) and it was ubiquitous for awhile, both in Europe (where I was living that spring) and back home in the U.S. I'm pretty sure it's buried note-for-note in my head (the way music you listen to when you're 13 gets), though I probably haven't heard the whole thing in over thirty years.
Just wow! Please consider making more Supertramp covers! :) I bet that Supertramp's "School" in your performance would be another hit!
Kicked ass on this song. Turned to max with my $2000 Sony headphones and it was even better...no flaws detected...just amazingness (just invented that adjective for you). Hugs to you all.
Freaking Awesome! I Love You Guys!
Nice work, as always, but "The Logical Song" without a roaring saxophone is... Illogical, Criminal. 😉
I came here to say that! It really misses that sax,
+1
One might say it's... wait for it... The Crime of the Century. Right? Hmm? And I never thought about it, but the sax does "roar" on that song.
Dammit. You’re right. We’ll take it down.
@@Pomplamoose Don't do that...
La première interprétation, qui m’a fait découvrir Pomplamoose, il y a quelques mois. Scotché, capturé entre la chanson elle même et le plaisir de voir jouer. Je devinais le sourire, le plaisir de Mr CONTE malgré le masque.
On the one hand, I'd love to see you in concert. On the other hand, I'd rather see you in a coffee shop while sitting there cozy with some overcomplicated latte.
This is one of the best songs of the 80s. The counter beat and how in the original and on this version as well, you guys manage those contretemps rhythmically is Genius...
I bet it's not easy to take a brilliant Supertramp song to a new level but you pretty much did it.
Supertramp was the first cassette tape I owned. I love your rendition as it is true to the original but has a weightless, floating in space vibe. Stay true to your music as it shines and rings like a bell
Wow, I literally got chills listening to this. I had to back inside and put some clothes on.
I must have a crush on Nahneen because I keep replaying the little bits where she is doing the backing vocals. Amazing cover, superb production as always.
Another great arrangement. Excellent.
Well done from a big Supertramp fan. This should get some serious radio play.
Muito bom! Parabéns! Top!👏😍
Love this band , love her. Amazing voice. True pros.
Wow! So sweet version, thx 🙏
This Woman melts my very soul with her voice. It's a God's send just to witness such eloquence.
I like your cover. You've made it your own...as usual. In this case, however, while I do like your version I find myself missing a feel woven into the original. That something is the almost Klezmer feel of their woodwinds that I still heard in my head; although missing but would have been out of place in your take on the piece.
Nataly's voice still dazzles me for its clarity and perfect pitch placement. The girl has wonderful pipes...different from many other great singers yet always deftly displayed with control, precision and personality.
I know! Put a clarinet where the sax-solo goes, and this would be perfection!
