Fool's Overture - Voice of Supertramp Roger Hodgson w Orchestra

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."

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.

"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

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".

[@danparr7119]

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.

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.

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!!"

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!

Always loved this song. Amazing that he can pull off a live version so close to the studio version --- and with a full string orchestra at that! He's a very soulful, sensitive guy. Really interprets his world and time and puts it into music. What a gem of a song and performance!

[@jillhollingsworth8023]

This is pure perfection!

[@rolandocangas2787]

escuche este tema cuando tenia 16 años y desde ahi al dia de hoy se ha convertido en mis canciones favoritas...Que musica y que bandas que nacieron por esa epoca y por ello doy gracias a Dios por haber nacido en la epoca de oro de estas bestiales bandas como supertramp deep purple led zeppelin black sabbath etc..canciones y bandas que nacieron pero para nunca morir y estar por siempre en los corazones de quienes amamos la verdadera buena musica.

I love it, but I don’t understand why it makes me emotional enough to shed tears?

[@JohnHemming-Clark]

Still listening to this - must be 50ish years on!

[@paulocpsoccer1]

I know that musical taste is something that can't be discussed... But it's unbelievable that 1.400 people disliked this masterpiece...

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.

[@jamespollman6616]

Supertramp was certainly iconic in its' time. But, Hodgson just grabbed me from moment one. "Can you feel it?"

[@BradKinson]

Probably one my all time favorite songs ever

Que de souvenirs accompagnent cette pièce magnifique

[@paulmccuytney]

In October 1979 I visited a concert of Supertramp with Roger in the Rotterdam Ahoy (Netherlands) and it became an unforgettable evening for me. Especially when they played "Fool's overture" at the end of the concert I was overwhelmed by emotions. When I saw this great KZbin performance for the first time, it reminds me automatically to that happening 34 years ago.

[@viddim.3448]

Some songs that are eternal. 3 thousand years from now there will be people listening to music like this.

[@JorgeGarcia-dz5jy]

Que energía irradia este tema!! Que me hace que me sienta tan vulnerable animicamente, pura poesia.. Gracias Dios por haberme permitido asistir a uno de sus conciertos.. Jamas lo olvidare fue muy emotivo 😪😪👌👊❤
