Ah yes, the need to find a quiet place and calm the spirit; we all need those moments! And what a beautifully sung piece it is!

I remember I had this album and never really paid so much attention to this song. Hearing it now, all these years later and especially listening to what Amy had to say I really do like it a lot now. It grew on me. Beautiful

Stefan Martelius

Oh yes, Supertramp! One of the finest groups from the 70s (IMO), with a bunch of really really great song. Glad that you enjoyed it so much, and I'm looking forward to hearing some more of their music soon 😊

TONY SURRATT

Enjoyed that. I’ll be listening to Supertramp this week. Because when you start you can’t stop. They’re just ear candy

Chester Beals

Supertramp is one of my all-time favorite groups ever. I’m so glad you’ve started this journey, you will love all the different places it takes you. I’m amused that the introduction blurb to the song above almost perfectly channels another fantastic Supertramp song… Even in the Quietest Moments.

Peter Buwen

How long have we been waiting for Supertramp! At last we got it and I hope we'll get even more of them. Supertramp is one of the five bands I would call the best ones.

steveRock

Supertramp was a favorite of mine in the 70s. I find this song an odd choice. It is a fine album deep cut but there a dozen other Supertramp songs that are more familiar and quite familiar FM radio played songs. "Bloody Well Right", Crime of the Century", "Dreamer", "Breakfast in America", or "Even in the Quietest Moments". Supertramp ranks right up with Genesis, Yes, and Caravan as great 70s British prog groups.

Pedro Macedo

Great reaction Amy. Thank you for choose Supertramp. They have created some of the best non Beatles music moments of my life. This song is one of them. Beautiful.

Michael T.B

Haven't listened to it yet but Supertramp is an album band you have to do the album straight through no stops

Michael T.B

The genre is Supertramp there's no other band like them there's no other sound like them

Michael T.B

John Helliwell played Alto sax/ clarinet on this one of the things that the Supertramp different was they actually had a full-time member of the band who was a brass and woodwind player

Amy should listen to the whole Breakfast In America album, preferably while holding the vinyl record sleeve with that outrageous cover art.

Mike Clancey

Beautiful song! I am somewhat familiar with Supertramp, but have never heard this song. Thanks for pointing out the things that makes it special. Yes, you do need to do more.

Lee Kennison

Great reaction Amy, I am glad you enjoyed this so much. While one of their deeper cuts, it is still a great song. I also like how this song expresses the idea of needing to find a quiet place to calm the spirit. Particularly in this modern world. This same album has some more popular songs that I think you will really like, ones that better show off their incredible musicianship from all the band members, such as their very popular and more musically impressive "Logical Song," among others. It is also worth watching one of their live performances, which I think helps you to better appreciate their musicianship, such as how some members switch between instruments as they are performing, often within the same song.

Really well done analysis, Amy. Breakfast in America (btw examine the album cover closely!) is one of the first albums I ever received as a birthday present as a little kid. It's timeless music, and I love that it can't really be labeled. Classic rock, prog rock, pop rock...who cares? I love the lyrics. They are genuine, tender and resigned without feeling overly sentimental, sappy, or solipsistic. And an ongoing sentiment that is just as meaningful these days as back then.

Kevin Yackmack

Supertramp may be THE most underrated classic / progressive rock band of all time. Why this band isn’t in the R&R HOF is beyond me. I’m sure you will enjoy listening to all their music. It’s just superb.

Steve

I spent a couple of weeks one summer in the back seat of a long car trip with a Walkman, Breakfast in America, and the first Foreigner album. So I listened to this a lot. Odd that I didn’t recognize this song, even after I heard it, but I didn’t. I guess 10-year-old me probably thought it was boring. Maybe I would have chosen another song, but I guess it was good to fill this hole in my memory…

Terence colin Shortman

1974 I picked up their album "crime of the century" and never looked back Amy or is it Vlad you have the wonderful knack of when listening to a new artist of picking a wonderful iconic track that is probably not what most fans of the artist would recognize which is refreshing and I like it. Fans would be more familiar tracks that were released as singles "Bloody Well Right", Crime of the Century", "Dreamer", " Logical Song"', "Breakfast in America", "Even in the Quietest Moments".

Peter Buwen

Amy, I can only recommend - not demand or expect - that you watch the live recording "Live in Paris 1979". The recording is available in very good quality on YouTube. This concert really says a lot about the band.

Rafa Tintoré

One of the greatests bands that surprisingly are loved by men and women. Prog pop at its highest quality. Their top albums considerd as masterpieces are Crime of the Century(74), Crisis What Crisis (75), Even in the Quiets Momentes(77) and Breakfast in America(79). Also was a big hit Famous Last Words(82). For me alnost every song of these fives are wonderful. The composers were Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson . They signed together the songs but every one was composed by one of them and sung by the main composer. Amy and Vlad, you have to react yes or yes to Fool's Overture, no doubt beetween best songs evr made. Nobody disagree this. I know the temptation is play The Logical song or Breakfast in America, both hits all the world know but please FIRST Fool's Overture that I'm sure Amy will love

I never once considered Supertramp "prog." I'm kinda surprised to hear them described that way (I bought most of their albums. as well as what I consider prog: Yes; Genesis; King Crimson and ELP, which were the big prog bands of the same era). But... this just illustrates what I've been saying on Amy's channel for a couple of years now... and I guess it bear repeating here: There is NO single authority that can define what genre a song (or, by extension, a band, I would submit) belongs to. (Apparently, it's decided by some imaginary Committe Of Music, somewhere... ;)

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma
>>159746243

Thanks, Peter. I followed this band until Breakfast In America, and then promptly forgot about them. (They seem to be popular, again ;) I'll check out that video, because I haven't really seen them perform live except for a song or two.

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma
>>159737790

I will "second" every song that you listed... and add FOOL'S OVERTURE...because it's so dramatic and orchestral. (I didn't care so much for the Christian proselytizing in the lyrics... but I'll overlook that just for the music...)

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma
>>159708369

Another person to call Supertramp a progressive band, in these comments. Is it possible that I'm wrong (in disagreeing with you - at least compared to Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, ELP, et. al)??? Naaah!

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma
>>159705100

You wrote: "Classic rock, prog rock, pop rock...who cares?" Finally! A simpatico thinker on this topic! And yet... Supertramp is NOT a progressive band. Trust me. (Seriously... trust me... I am an AUTHORITY ;)

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma
>>159699748

Lee! You are recommending that Amy hear THE LOGICAL SONG before, say, FOOL'S OVERTURE? For shame! The former is a pop song of some popularity (yes, I bought all of Supertramp albums back in the day... I'm very familiar with their music) - the latter is a song that Amy can sink her musico-analytical teeth into. How about a compromise? EVEN IN THE QUIETEST MOMENTS (the song, not the album whole).

Lee Kennison
>>159699748

If you pay attention Amy tends to like many of the well known popular songs by prominent bands more than the deeper cuts that are sometimes what fans of a band think she will like better. People seem to think Amy is too sophisticated to like the more popular stuff from quality bands. But as I often say, these are popular for a good reason, and Amy often shows us why. And I am only referring to the popular stuff from quality bands, particularly from the 60s and 70s. Not the more mainstream overly commercial stuff that typically lacks any creativity. Amy will often be more dismissive of this stuff as being overly commercial and lacking creativity. But I certainly wouldn’t put “The Logical Song” in that category, it has a lot of creativity and musical interest. More in my it was popular for a “good” reason category.

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma
>>159699748

Maybe it's just me that's being too sophisticated. I mean, I like THE LOGICAL SONG and all... and, yes, it will get many more views than FOOL'S OVERTURE... but... I DON'T CARE! (I want what I want... and I WANT IT NOW ;)

Crime of the century is a prog album but is just an orientation. It's pop, rock, elements of prog...

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma

FYI: Many decades ago I made a pilgrimage to Nepal... I spent a month climbing the highest mountain just to meet one guru: The Man Who Knows All About Musical Genres. I finally get to his cave, and I ask: "Is Supertramp a progressive band?" - "Absolutely not!" he says with equanimity, just as I had suspected. I then make my way down the mountain, and I meet a man who says the guru in the cave is crazy... Well, I just spent $4K and a total of two months seeking the answer... so, I ask you: which man do you think that I believe? Right... Supertramp is NOT a progressive band. End of story ;) [Double FYI: As the writer of this story, I'm actually the man who says the guru is crazy... just so you know.]

DJ as I said in my earlier comment Supertramp is a genre unto itself. so you could say you were both right, bloody well right

I saw Supertramp Breakfast in America tour with Hodgson amazing show [first night at Wembley] but anyone who was there will tell you there were some problems sound glitches audio problems. Soon sorted great show. Then the years later first album without RH, can't remember Brothers where you bound I think without Hodgson and where they didn't play any of Rogers songs and although the show was pulled off impressively indoors I believe it was the scope in [Norfolk, VA. might have been Hampton Coliseum] Immaculate— perfect show, sound and visuals were immaculate, but, the gaping hole left by the omission of Hodgson songs was too much to get by. It was the biggest disappointment, five star disappointment.

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma
>>159748648

CRIME OF THE CENTURY is a good album. EVEN IN THE QUIETEST MOMENTS is a better album. BREAKFAST IN AMERICA... well, I won't argue if someone says this is Supertramp's best album... but, I'm not so sure...

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma
>>159746243

I live near Norfolk Virginia as I write this... I guess I wasn't here when the show you mentioned occurred... and that's okay by me: I prefer living in California, when this concert happened.

Michael T.B
>>159708369

No I wouldn't call them a prog band how do I understand it. I would call them a fusion band. Supertramp there's nothing else like them except for maybe 10cc in the way they constructed songs and the allocation of writing. Supertramp is a patronage band if you don't know what I mean look it up.

Michael T.B
>>159746243

Yeah the concert was actually the Hampton, Hampton Coliseum, October something '85 I often get my shows at the Scope, norfolks and Hampton (Coliseum) mixed up

Rafa Tintoré
>>159748648

Crime of the century is a masterpiece and the best for all my friends that are fans of Supertramp. Although everyone has his prefrences. Breakfast is more commercial: Logical song, breakfast in America, Goodby stranger and Take the long way home were big hits. For me Crime, Cris, Even in the quietes moments and Breakfast are masterpiece.

Alex P.

We absolutely need to see more Supertramp.

I am in CHESAPEAKE, VA. This place really reminds me of a place where I am from, Westlake Village, CA (the northern most part of L.A. County... on the Ventura County line)... i.e., all this place needs to be a gated community are... the GATES! I'm living with my sister and her husband... and I look out upon the Elizabeth River (on its way to Chesapeake Bay and then the ocean)... ... and I see (a couple of times a year... it must be a regatta or something) about 100 super-yachts travel to the ocean... and then, late in the year, they travel back South... to the Outer Banks of N.C., and then on to Florida and other places. I've watched this for several years now. Some super-yachts are so heavy, their engines nearly scrape the bottom of the river, and the hull is pointing to the sky... And I wonder... why is EVERY one of these yachts painted WHITE? Why???

Beautiful song. I had never heard it before.
