"what you could have been... what you might have been... If you would have more time" To me, this reflects that by the time you figure out who you really are, what matters to you, and how life works much of your life has already passed.

Yeah that is pretty much it. I also interpret it to mean that people -- in this case a man -- always to look back on how great you think your life is when everything is going when you are on your own and all you look forward to is the adulation. Then you decide to include others in your orbit and expect them to give you that same adulation. Until you realize that real life don't work like that. And some men start second guessing themselves (taking the long way home) and are forced to decide what it really is they want their life to be about. Meaning you could either be Barry Gibb or be Jerry Lee Lewis.

If you always take the long way home to avoid issues, you aren't growing as a human, spouse, or as a parent. And maybe when you are ready, you find everyone has moved on and your alone. There are bumps in every relationship, and having a newborn is exciting, tiring, and mentally exhausting. You know you will get through it. You did it before. Compromise is huge and necessary. Wishing you both the best!

I also was a professional photographer for years. So I was blessed for years and became friends with many bands. I have seen these struggles with so many band members that didn't bring their families with them. So many temptations. It is difficult. Supertramp issued this warning. Thanks for this video.
@lilamuzik33852 күн бұрын
Here's my reading for you. These band members couple up really early. Girls everywhere. Can take their pick. Babies start coming. SHE knows who you really are. You are on the road. You understand what is facing you when you come home. The disinterest because SHE is mad. Easy for you to leave and go be somebody's Superstar. Wash , rinse, repeat until both of you have worn out the relationship....such as it is. You split. You stay on the path of the band life....being around all the " carnival" people who hand around bands....until that starts to sour. You get older. You go home now to no one. Maybe FB pictures of HER new life. You are envious of her choice of family and connectedness that she has. And then you begin to wonder, if you had perhaps made better choices. Less bought into your own inflated superstar status. Tended to your loved ones a bit better. For me Black Pegasus, you grew up and made better choices, so you won't have to look back and wonder " what might have been".

Sleep deprivation is rough, when our daughter was born she screamed non stop all night, every night for 12 weeks. I'd take her out for a drive at 2am to give my wife a break from it, and other times I'd go for a night time drive on my own just to calm my nerves, it's a passing phase but it does strain a relationship! Do your best to try and work together...I wouldn't swap the life I've had with my kids growing up for any amount of fame personally

As for family treating you like furniture, Billy Joel said in an interview that he was walking down the street with one of his teenage kids and he was humming a tune that he was working on and he noticed that she had dropped behind him and she told him it was embarrassing. He said "You do realize that people pay to listen to this, right?" Everyone has their own thing that they excel in that their family don't realize. That's just life.

Songwriter Roger Hodgson of Supertramp (vocals, keyboards and guitars) explained that the song "Take The Long Way Home" is about a guy who thinks he's really cool ("So you think you're a romeo, playing a part in a picture show"), but it seems that he's the only one who thinks that. This implies that our hero avoids getting home because when he's on the road he has a few more moments of being alone with his dreams, and in his dreams he's a superstar. "When he's up on the stage, it's so unbelievable, unforgettable, how they adore him. And then his wife seems to think he's losing his sanity... Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe? Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy." - This is the phase of our lives when we accept the fact that we'll never be what we wanted and become ordinary, we take it very hard, but we grow into it." "He looks through the years and see what he could have been, what might have been, if he'd had more time." - Time is always to blame when we want to do something, but don't. This guy always wanted to be someone, but he got stuck taking the long way home so now it's even difficult for him being ordinary: "So, when the day comes to settle down, Who's to blame if you're not around? You took the long way home." Hodgson added that the song operates on two levels: "Talking about not wanting to go home to the wife, take the long way home to the wife because she treats you like part of the furniture, but there's a deeper level to the song, too. We all want to find our home, find that place in us where we feel at home. Home is in the heart and that is really, when we are in touch with our heart and we're living our life from our heart, then we do feel like we found our home." "It was another angle on the question that ran deep inside me, which is, 'Where's my home? Where's peace?' It felt like I was taking a long way to find it."

Really good examination of the song. I have always interpreted this song as maybe the wife or other family / friends saying "Take the long way home". As if the singer has become a big-headed obnoxious jerk and the OTHER people in his life don't want him around. That's why his wife treats him like the furniture. But as the song goes on, he realizes what he's become and wants to change, but he's stuck in that showbiz life and the money people don't want him to leave.

When I was younger, everyone pointed to the 60s as the time for the best music. Now a lot of radio stations advertise their 80s and 90s focus. But there is something very special about the 70s. Bands were made up of exceptional musicians, amazing lyricists, and while the record/music industry was controlling, great artists were able to push back in a way they couldn’t before or after. If you want other songs that reflect on your life in the same vein as this song, I’d recommend Pink Floyd’s Time off of their Dark Side of the Moon album. Great reaction as always BP!!!

I have 3 children, and I remember feeling lonely and neglected emotionally by my husband who left me to deal with the children at home because he stayed at work, then stopped on the way home to relax with friends and a few drinks, so we slowly lost our intimacy, and I felt unappreciated. Take care of your couple, check in with your wife to make sure you stay close. You are a good man, just communicate with her, and give yourselves a couple’s time to build strength.if the love between you feel like it’s not enough for either of you, and you feel worried, listen to your guts and stop and take care of your relationship as a priority. It will make you stronger.

"Crime of the Century" is an amazing album and was actually the third album for the band (go check out the cover of their second album "Indelibly Stamped" 😵💫). Crime of the Century was the group's commercial breakthrough in many countries. This album has much more of a progressive rock vibe than "Breakfast In America", and is basiclly a concept album telling the story of Rudy, a guy that’s against the system and, over his life, gets a lot of crap thrown at him. Definitely worth a listen. 🤓
