Hide in Your Shell, Roger Hodgson of Supertramp (writer and composer), with Orchestra

Roger's lyrics and composition of his song, Hide in Your Shell, cannot help but touch people on so many levels. Roger sings with such emotion and openness of his heart that it is obvious his songs come from deep within him. It is not uncommon to see audience members in tears because of how deeply they are touched. Don't miss the opportunity to see Roger live in concert. Roger, co-founder of Supertramp, is currently on tour, performing a variety of shows with full band, acoustic, and with orchestras around the world.
"People often write to me and say that this song in particular strikes a chord in them. Maybe it's because I was going through a difficult time in my life when I wrote it that people are able to relate to it. Our teenage years seem to be difficult ones for many of us, especially if one is sensitive. I know there is a tendency to want to Hide in Your Shell." ~ Roger Hodgson
Roger not only wrote & composed Hide in Your Shell, he also gave us the great majority of the hits to include Breakfast in America, The Logical Song, Dreamer, Give a Little Bit, Take the Long Way Home, It's Raining Again, School, Fool's Overture & many more. Although Roger and Supertramp's other co-founder shared writing credit, they actually wrote & composed separately with each singing their own respective songs. bit.ly/1Kfgu0W

LYRICS: www.rogerhodgson.com/lyrics/ly...
"I went to my first concert at the age of 44 to see your show. I was so amazed by the experience. I have to say you sound like you did when I was 15 buying your albums. I had goose bumps most of the night. I think you actually care about your guests and we all felt so welcome my friend. Thanks for an experience that will stay with me for the rest of my days."
"I was a typical teenager being pulled in a hundred different directions. Some of them frightening and lonely. Hide in Your Shell spoke directly to my heart. It told me I wasn't alone and that any good that would come of my life would be a direct result of me summoning up my courage and living true to the values and principals I felt. "I, as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love. How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?" struck me as Shakespeare. 30+ years down the road now. Words to a boy are now a creed for a man."

Congrads on 26 years Im only 5 years

[@jonl1034]

Hi Shaun O'Brien, I've been in recovery for 13 years. I just used this song and its lyrics to help a friend getting started trudging the road of happy destiny. I realize it's probably about a love relationship, but like many great songs, the meaning can apply to many things. My experience with Recovery is that it's about learning to face our own fears and realities. Regarding the "cure for pain is love," I think he's saying he THOUGHT as a boy the cure for pain is love, but as a grownup, it's about learning to ask for help dealing with the demons in our closets. But of course I might be wrong, given you have twice the number of years I do!

Who isn't a genius? Ask any mother of her children and she will brag proudly. Rick was the true anomaly of the group. It is so difficult to hear his piano playing because he was so incredibly and profoundly in step. I am disappointed that musicians from other groups haven't stepped forward to point this out. Rick is /was a great percussionist upon the piano. This is why I know Bob Siebenburg was great. He had to be. Rick's organ playing? He said that he was offered a job as a teenager to play the organ which he never had. So, he faked it.

Every song is an interpretation od once conquest and struggles, so NO ONE is wrong, having worked with SUPERTRAMP amongst so many bands, I can say that if and when we discussed their songs, their answers would ALWAYS be, "we wrote it with one purpose, and so many times, ours listeners will interpret it in many other way's, that's what makes song writing so fulfilling".

Just realize that his songs were Supertramp productions. Roger and Rick wrote the original songs to this album in 1972. They then spent two years in a house revising and rewriting them to form.

There, that's a dozen great Supertramp tunes. But, "Hide In Your Shell" is especially powerful, brilliantly hitting all the emotions past and present of this listener.

Pourquoi cette chanson ? C'est de la pure beauté. C'est de la magie. C'est tellement beau ! Et vrai.

[@alexfernandez7610]

Absolument génial !!! reviens Roger !

[@mindset-maennchen]

Can't believe how often this song made me cry... the lyrics 😭😭😭😭

[@evelynehenot7784]

Fantastic song, by a fantastic singer.

[@johncoulias5189]

Took my daughter to the Royal Albert Hall on the 23rd to see Roger and I can only describe it as one of the best nights of my life. The guy is 69 and his voice sounds even better now than it did 30 years ago. His voice is ageless.

[@janzwetsloot7026]

Magical band. Still love this music!

[@paulchow7776]

super great i love it

[@joesycamore2899]

One of the best songs from one of the greatest albums of all time. Crime of the Century is number three on my all time list of albums (beaten only by Revolver and Wish You Were Here) When Supertramp performed this album for the first time in Portsmouth the audience blew the roof off. They were magnificent

[@franknberry333]

you have good taste in music my friend

[@cheryl4450]

My all time favourite song. This song helped me through a challenging alcoholic home life while I was growing up and the death of two of my teenage friends. I saw Roger perform this song live a couple of years ago. It's a beautiful song of human resiliency and connection. I always cry when I hear it. Thank you for this song Roger.

[@lyndaolsen8289]

I know Roger quite well, he's a very spiritual man, most kind hearted too! Loves all ppl

[@mariaaparicio1397]

Hide in your shell es la canción más bonita de la vida❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mau_lopez]

One of my favorite songs. It is incredible the sensibility and inspiration needed for this composition. Absolutely beautiful !

[@juanaltredo2974]

the beautiful thing about great songs is how with time they acquire different meaning to every person, outside the original meaning of the song they evolve into something very personal and different for every one of us

[@cherylmekarski1059]

After all these years, I still feel what I felt when I first heard this song.

[@user-yc4xw9cu1v]

Best song ever. The lyrics are amazing and touch you on a deep level!

[@1silvervespa]

Caught him twice can only hope to catch him again in my lifetime . His songs were the deepest they got me through good tomes and Bad . I travelled across Canada with him and as far down as the Carribean cassetts back then. I never travell without him . Introduced others to him . We have the same first name classic.

[@francisconeto2740]

This song strikes somtehing deep inside me. I can listen to it over and over again.

[@renataanniejanerebeccaamet9983]

Francisco Neto same here, I think I can relate to this song particularly well because of being so timid: I often "hide in my shell"

[@christianlouiseong4274]

Saem

[@williamwellington8668]

It's because its a brilliantly crafted song.....

[@anabelaluzlopes4892]

me too

[@angelaapparicio1245]

This has been one of my favourite songs since I was bought the Live in Paris album many moons ago, ive sang it out loud in the house in the car, when i was sad, it was very cathartic, my three kids have grown up knowing it, it builds to such a crescendo part way through, its a real goosebump maker, I was lucky enough that my wonderful boyfriend bought me tickets for Christmas to see Rodger perform in Brussels last Sunday, I wasnt sure it would be the same as The Live in Paris, but I couldnt be more wrong, I had goosebumps , tears and I sang my heart out, the performance in brussels was even better, a huge wave of love and respect for a really talented artist who has stood the test of time rippled through the audience, thank you so much and thank you to my wonderful boyfriend for making a dream come true and driving the 800 miles round trip, from England and back, it will go in my memory box as one of the most precious memories in my life. Flouncy x x

Música que faz bem aos meus ouvidos 😍

[@RonaldoMinowa]

Demais, né?

[@maddieb2763]

Hodgson MAESTRO. Thanks for existing and thanks for sharing your music with us. I love your music.

[@michaelobrien1284]

I was only 19 when I saw Supertramp for the first time in Moncton New Brunswick along with about 9-10 thousand other people. It was an an amazing concert. 40 years later I just saw him again last night back in Moncton, this time at the Casino along with about 2800 other people. Once again it was amazing. His voice was exactly the same. My wife and I so much enjoyed it I came up and went to his web site to see where we may travel to see him again. Thank-you for such an enjoyable evening.

[@tinathomason3688]

Again,, OUTSTANDING!!! Thank You Roger Hodgson and Supertramp.

[@tinathomason3688]

One of My FAVORITE'S!! I Loved EVERY Song On The Crime of The Century Album. Listened to it Every morning before going to school. And After School.

[@keithjones7390]

What, not during school? 😅

[@yankasantoszchy6525]

My favorite song! Please, Roger, play "Hide in Your Shell" in São Paulo, october 23. I'll be there. My life will be complete if I can see you playing it live! Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaase!!!!

[@KRT61]

Great song from a truly classic album.

[@webfish69]

Beautiful.

[@fionn1119]

I was newly 16, had left home, working in the city, feeling quite alone to be honest.... Walking down the street past the record shop (yeah we had vinyl shops which were AWESOME!!) Crime of the Century album was playing, and it was this track - walked straight in and bought my first ever LP album... It's still one of my favourites, that was in 1975..... Supertramp are so overlooked when we talk about the greats of the 70s, they were in my opinion right up there with the best of the best. I saw Queen live that year too, what an era.

[@rockandpiltvpilromi]

Cómo alguien puede componer tamaña obra de arte! Roger Hodgson sos un genio!! Te amo!!💖
