SUPERTRAMP - It's Raining Again | FIRST TIME COUPLE REACTION | THIS is Supertramp!?

[@squamishfish]

Ahhhh Supertramp one of the greatest bands to sit back and listen to

[@buffalobraves9]

My favorite Supertramp song. Roger Hodgson is a genius.

[@Dumbledork_Prime]

My favorite Supertramp song... probably because it was the first of their songs I ever heard of them in the early 80s and listened to it all the time on my brother's record player.

[@TrueNorth10]

There are a lot of great tunes from Crisis, What Crisis? A Soapbox Opera, Sister Moonshine, Easy Does It are all worth delving into!

[@kevinmcfarlane2752]

Underrated album.

[@davidrauh8118]

Personally one of my favorite albums by Supertramp is Crisis, What Crisis? And Even In The Quietest Moments is also a solid album as well.

[@dcmphotog8452]

I agree. Crisis, What Crisis? tends to get overlooked, but is a great album to listen to front to back.

[@andrewmacardle9872]

My first Supertramp album was Crime of the century. I was booked and so I bought Crisis, what crisis on its day of release. I was not disappointed. Still my 1 and 2.

[@tommack9395]

"Fool's Overture" though Crime of the Century was a magnum opus.

[@Divedown_25]

For me, all albums from Crime of the Century are good. 👍🏼

[@chrispeek8412]

Great song!! Another album, "Even In The Quietest Moments" has some awesome songs like 'From Now On', 'Babaji' & 'Fool's Overture'. Another song I love is 'Sister Moonshine'(don't know what album it's from)

[@tombudreau]

Your honesty is refreshing. I love Crime, Crisis and Even In The Quietest Moments. In the eighties they became to mundane for Prog..IMO

[@meddz7881]

Supertramp.. un groupe qui a accompagné ma vie. Sublime de bout en bout.

[@flaviobatista8823]

For me, "Fool's Overture" and "Even in the Quietest Moments" by Supertramp are fantastic, I recommend listening to them... I also suggest listening to the song "Can you Understand" by Renaissance... big hug!

[@Theresa-d8z]

Renaissance is one of those '70s bands that almost every song they made was either good or great. Can't go wrong with their '70s music. Novella is my 7th favorite album in all music history. Side 1 should be reacted to in one reaction. The last three songs can be done separately.

[@danicampbell402]

Supertramp just makes me happy!

[@rogerlandry8018]

Hi guys, you need to do Fools Overture from the Even in the Quietest Moments album. This will not let you down, guaranteed.

[@sidecardog5244]

Their best song!

[@oakhillfound847]

Wairing so Long is,one of the best Supertranp songs as aell as Dont Leave Me Now

[@kylekerwin4993]

Such a feel good song about a devastating love lost and a broken heart. Time to heal and feel good again. The instruments and vocals are incredibly beautiful.

[@flomalheur7467]

I'm like Chicago with Supertramp: the early albums are sensationally good, but it flattens out over the years. If I transfer this topic to "Yes" right away, I'll get to my music wish. When the latest album "Mirror to the Sky" was announced, many jumped at the two pre-released songs "Cut from the Stars" and "All Connected". When the album was finally released, however, no one reacted or did a "first listen" to the rest of the songs. But the title track "Mirror to the Sky" is far too good to be ignored. (I think this also applies to other songs on the album)

[@Theresa-d8z]

I think that the more Sherwood and Davison compose songs together, the more that Yes gets out of their current slump. When Howe and Downes retire, I hope and pray that Haun and either Wakeman returns to guarantee the big creative boost Yes needs for the comeback of the century.

[@teebodk3917]

I think there's a Supertramp song for every occasion and the trick is to get to know their entire catalog well enough to be able to choose the right song for the right moment. Personally my favorite album has always been Even In The Quietest Moments, so full of magic tracks, building moods and themes, going through valleys and over high mountains. Almost every song on that album is a magical journey, but it requires the full attention of the listener. It's Raining Again is a totally different matter - extremely accessible, even to the point of including a children's nursery rhyme towards the end. Super catchy, super cheerful tune (although as always with Supertramp, there's a deeper lyrical layer to it as well) - like somebody said in the comments "I loved this song as a little kid. I would actually think about it when times got tough." - yeah, sometimes it rains, but you'll get over it, come on! The very earliest albums are generally too prog for my taste, just like some find the last ones "too pop", but that's perfectly fine.

[@brunosamppa]

"Waiting So Long" (Davies) and "Don't Leave Me Now" (Hodgson) are the best from this album;

[@MrDeadstu]

"Rudy" from Crime of the Century album is a great song, one of my favorites of Supertramp.

[@magirusdeutzjupiter2234]

Thanks both, Supertramp are such a talented band with a very addictive style of music, and may I say Roger is an outstanding singer. The 70's was an avalanche of very creative and talented artists for SURE!

[@garysunshine9643]

This was a sweet song and a nice melody, with a cool build at the end and nice sax. You may want to see it in the context of the video, which was popular on MTV

[@lizmarch4000]

I loved this song as a little kid. I would actually think about it when times got tough. "cmon you little fighter...get back up again."

[@thomaswalkowiak815]

Didn't recognize the title but the second it started I knew it. Fun little song by a band that never got the accolades they deserved

[@stuartdollar9912]

This was effectively a last album for Supertramp as the group they'd been since the beginning. Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies were fighting, and Hodgson left the band after a short supporting tour for this album. Hodgson left the band for a solo career (he'd release Sleeping With the Enemy within a year), while Davies and the rest of the lineup from this album would do a few more albums with Davies as sole lead vocalist.

[@andrewmacardle9872]

This was the album in which Roger and Rick had fractured and was their last in the classic Supertramp line-up. Roger went on to make a couple of solo albums while Rick's Supertramp returned to soft rock jazz beginnings. "Brother where you bound" was probably the best of the band's last 4 albums.

[@stevemurrell6167]

I agree with you on 'Brother' but I would hardly call that soft rock jazz.

[@ThistleAndSea]

Love these guys. Supertramp was the real deal. 🙂

[@commenceenavoirmarre]

It's was a really popular song ! Catchy ...

[@danbev9313]

Cant listen to this without watching the video. It makes the song

[@DorothyRussBoyd]

Guys guys & gals this was there last Album they did together before Roger H left the Band to be a father and husband and being apart of watch his kids grow up. The next album was Brother where you bound! Listen to that title song when you can! Hope you read this (65yrs Russ)

[@douglasg.9271]

“Cannonball” is great. Give it a listen if you haven’t already 😊

[@kentnottingham9635]

The album itself is very good. It’s not “Crime”, not “Breakfast” but it has some great songs, given Roger was “over it” and had one foot out the door. C’est le Bob, Waiting so long, Don’t leave me now, even the opening song Crazy is good. Something about Roger’s voice always keeps me glued to SUPERTRAMP

[@davidcall5430]

I'm amazed you haven't heard this before. One of my personal favorites from an amazing group

[@gregj1295]

Its a simple, catchy song I've always enjoyed and I like the childrens choir at the end.

[@CCDzine]

Listen to 'Crazy' from the same album, the opening track.

[@TZ61]

You want Crisis, What Crisis? and Quietest Moments. After the very pop friendly, but still pretty good "Breakfast" came this album and the long-time Supertramp fans (including this one) got off the train. This song and album is not worth your time. "Lady", "Another Man's Woman", "Easy Does It/"Sister Moonshine" from Crisis. "Fool's Overture" from Quietest for openers will get you back on track.

[@tammiec4937]

This is one of my favorite songs by them. I get what you’re saying but I like Give a Little Bit and Dreamer also.

[@murdockreviews]

Their commercially most successful phase. Supertramp always had a pop-rock thing going and by that stage they fully went for it.

[@glennwalker5700]

There is a very old Supertramp album called Indelibly Inked. The song Rosy is great.

[@TrueNorth10]

Indelibly Stamped.

[@TheMkamix]

Supertramp!! Yes. Thank you.

[@davidbentley145]

Hmmm...Did they ever compose/write a bad song??? Anything these guys play is guaranteed to put a smile on your face! much appreciated for this...Ty guys

[@JKonstage]

A fun, kind of silly song. Did you catch the nursery rhyme at the end? “It’s raining, it’s pouring, etc.”

[@SpiderMcGee]

This was 1982. They were on the verge of another world tour in 1983, and singer Roger Hodgson left immediately after that to start a solo career. The rest of the band kept going, with some success, then broke up in 1988. The band has reunited a few times since, but Hodgson has never been part of it.

[@MrDeadstu]

Great album, under-rated IMO, their last album with Roger Hodgson. This is probably the most pop song on the album of which every album has at least one. It is the final song. I would recommend "Crazy" or "C'est Le Bon", even "Put on Your Old Brown Shoes" is tasty. If you want adventure, do to their album "Crisis?, What Crisis?" and listen to "Sister Moonshine", "Lady" or "Poor Boy", it's their 4th album, right after their hit album "Crime of the Century" Technically, any album from Crime of the Century to Brother Where You Bound? - pick any song, and you will find a great song...Supertramp were amazing.

[@stevemurrell6167]

One of their more commercial sounding songs but a goody. I believe it's a Roger Hodgson song, I think Rick Davies wrote more of their serious, stirring proggy stuff.....it's why I really like the Hodgson-less later 'Tramp albums. Don't get me wrong, I love their early stuff but I didn't jump off them when Roger left like a lot of people did. You should really check out the songs 'Cannonball' and 'Brother Where You Bound'.....the latter is most of one LP side and the title track of that album but it's a prog classic. Also "Fool's Overture" of their 'Even In The Quietest Moments' album is superb!

[@britannicvalente]

You guys would love "My Kind of Lady" off this same album! Funny my dad showed me that one. I have yet to see any creators react to that song.

[@timwhitnell7145]

Lex, I love that you love Crime of the Century as Supertramp is my favourite band of all time and Crime is my favourite LP ever - and that's saying a lot. I love EVERY song from their five album run from Crime to Crisis? What Crisis?, Even In The Quietest Moments, Breakfast In America and finally Famous Last Words, a highly underrated album. Don't Leave Me Now, Put On Your Old Brown Shoes (Richard Davies' fantastic vocal) and Bonnie are standouts from the album but I love it all. Even In The Quietest moments is on the same level as Crime quality wise and Crisis? is supremely underrated. I lost interest in my favourite group when Roger Hodgson left after Famous Last Words. It broke my heart that Hodgson and Davies couldn't get along. They are only Supertramp together. Also, I say this because I believe it - Hodgson and Davies' lyrics AND meoldies (never mind the band's impeccable sound production) are on par with Lennon and McCartney. I do not say that flippantly or for shock value. I honestly believe it. There is a massive amount of depth, spirituality, cynicism and socio-political commentary is Supertramp's output from 1974-82.

[@NicknLex]

School is one of my favorite songs ever!! 💗

[@timwhitnell7145]

@@NicknLex That opening harmonica is so haunting. The song flows so naturally into Bloody Well Right and both are super cynical denunciations of the class system in England.

[@pamnicklas5536]

I know people will not agree with me but I like this song over all other Supertramp tracks. The radio stations played everything to death and killed most of what they did (along with other popular artists) for me. That being said I saw Supertramp in 1983 and they were flawless!

[@philipjohansen4469]

This is fun song from a really good album that isn’t as well known. The band wasn’t really working well together at this point and Roger left after this album. Apparently the band didn’t really like this album, but I think it’s great. Try “Put on Your Old Brown Shoes”, “My Kind of Lady”, and “Don’t Leave Me Now”

[@brianmolloy4926]

NickN lex - why not try " Brother where you bound" title track from album of the same name. It is first album post Roger leaving and they only went and got Dave Gilmour on lead and Scott Gorham from ( Thin Lizzy) to play guitars on this long prog -ish track . Worth a listen!

[@j.jennings1722]

One of my least favorite hit songs by Supertramp, but still a very good Pop song. If you two want to react to a Prog classic by the band, please react to "Fool's Overture." It's an amazing piece that is unlike any song you've ever heard. ❤✌

[@allmusicfan88]

Never heard this one before. I always loved the song "Take The Long Way Home"! If you do that one, that would be great, unless you have already or already know it.

[@loisr3970]

Hey u two! Ahh just wonderful cut!!!

[@richardfurness7556]

I suspect the record company had insisted on a song that could be released as a single (Camel's label did that regularly, which amused them no end). It's Raining Again reached #26 in the UK charts, though oddly it was credited to 'Supertramp featuring vocals by Roger Hodgson'. I'm now off to dip once again into their first two albums, which seem to have slipped under the radar as far as reaction channels are concerned. Anyone who likes the title track from Even In The Quietest Moments should find plenty to enjoy there.

[@Theresa-d8z]

My favorite Supertramp song. Great reaction. Love you two. You two should get back to Jon And Vangelis. I suggest a song about Jon's daughter called Deborah. From Private Collection.

[@masapell]

Brings me right back to junior high and first learning to play the saxophone in band. I must have attempted this solo a million times as an 8th grader. I wasn’t very good, but I tried! Listening to it now I see how repetitive it is, but still a nice sax solo. :)

@@kbrewski1 ok, thanks! I read my ending in a comment section. Yours makes a lot more sense.

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

Yeah, you pretty much went with the most commercial song on the album (next to "My Kind of Lady"). The best 2 songs on this album are the 2 closers, IMO: "Waiting So Long" and "Don't Leave Me Now." "Know Who You Are" is also quite good.

[@markconnolly312]

Hey NicknLex and friends of the channel. I don't comment much, but I have to say this song and album were so beneath their musical talent and writing skills. I bought the album as soon as I could lay hands on it when it was released. "Breakfast In America" was such an amazing, brilliant album, and had to be so difficult to follow up. So was "Crime of the Century". This song and album jettisoned the band for Rock and Roll royalty into the realm of mundane bands who had a moment in the sunshine, but lost the love of making great, relevant music. Bless you both!

[@alansmith7626]

I could not agree more! Was just a moment but, wow, what a moment!

Here’s a suggestion for you guys on a band and a guitarist supreme from the 70’s Uk group Be bop Deluxe and guitarist /singer Bill Nelson. Blazing Apostles/Maid in Heaven/sister seagull amongst many. One of the most underrated bands and one of the best guitarists from that era/still around.Enjoy

[@A-432-Zone]

This is a good example of how people relate to, but also interpret music. Clearly they have sophisticated tastes. It seems like Nic & Lex would be good Classical listeners. It's strange. I am a pianist and actually a music theorist working a "Theory Of Pitch Psychology" where i'm finding patterers of theme that match certain keys. For examples, love songs always seem to go to C major. (Which I also see as red). Yet, sometimes I wonder if i'm a simpleton because I don't listen to Rush! I play Bach and other Classical works, yet, I still keep thinking that there are other who are seeing and hearing far deeper than I. I really think this. I'm drawn to very defined, concrete melody lines. And I like emotive extremes of stuff like Iron Maiden, or totally pop, or sentimental stuff ranging from early Madonna songs to Lionel Richie. I'm a big Erasure fan, for their songwriting. "It's Raining Again" does have a little more structure to it than it seems, and I think they may have just been caught by surprise. The cording DID repeat after the 1st phrases as they mentioned, but it actually is a totally different melody when it comes around again. It's a sort of different trick that what is usually done in songwritig, and it's actually a pretty original song. It also does build up to a climax. Not to mention an ADDED emphasis repetition, but with different melody added, but this time at the end by switching the final melody with the nursery rhyme "It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring." What comes across as sentiment (which is sort of the point of the song) is actually more subtle in it's construction towards that idea. It's nice to run into some heavy listeners, tough. I think we simply all have so much to learn! Incidentally, my Theory of Pitch Psychology can be found on my main channel here, _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole._ And, finally, if y'all are up for it, I have secret song that just might blow your minds in reaction: The Cocteau Twins' "Violaine." From the Milk and Kisses album. Be well! - _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_ (Speaking from my secondary channel, _The A-432 Zone.)

This was always my favourite Supertramp single - not because it's really their best work, but just because - as a DJ and avid radio listener in the 1970s and 1980s - I had played and heard their best stuff (Logical Song, Bkfast in America, etc) so very many times that it was worn out to me. This one was a late entry in their heyday and was nothing like as radio-ubiquitous, but still a song that - if it had been done by anyone else - everyone would have been well satisfied with. That was then, this is now and the tidal wave of over-exposure that I had to their other stuff is mainly a memory leaving me to think that "Logical Song" was their best track of all - but I still have a regard for this one cos it's a fun song and it was after all their 1982 swansong at least in UK hit singles terms. Also we do get a *awful* lot of rain in the UK 😀

Well, if you start listening a band beginning by its weakest moment disappointment could happen. Make a brief research first and try what it's considered their best stuff, like anything from the albums Crime Of The Century, Crisis What Crisis? and Even In The Quietest Moments. Then, my suggestion would be trying their 2 first albums, kind of prog, 2 different line-ups, meaning they sound very different one from the other and from the rest of albums, an interesting researching there. Because, remember this non written law: bands and artists from the 60s/70s that had a continuing career, almost never did well in the 80s. From The Rolling Stones to Elton John and so on

[@sigil5772]

I agree with you Nick, and this was proof for me at the time that the band had run out of ideas.

[@whiteknight-m4q]

This is just a pop song, and a very catchy one.

[@kaguya6900]

Although it has moments, Famous Last Words was basically a break-up album. The two writers, Rick Davies (Goodbye Stranger) and Roger Hodgson (Logical Song) were no longer working together, and their songs were not only written separately but recorded separately by this time. Still, if you want some of the older feel, Don't Leave Me Now will probably get you the best proggy feel from the album. Also the early '80s was AWFUL for prog. Punk had come into the picture, and although America was still into prog rock, England (where most of the bands are from), and especially the music press there, had become tired of prog and gone whole-hog into punk rock. Nearly everyone in prog was changing their sound at the time. Don't expect too much prog sound from this era. Finally, if you want a suggestion for later Supertramp, one of my favorite unknown Supertramp songs is, Listen to Me Please from the mid-'90s.
