When lonely days turn to lonely nights you take a trip to the city lights And take the long way home Take the long way home You never see what you want to see Forever playing to the gallery You take the long way home Take the long way home And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable, unforgettable, how they adore you, But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity, oh, calamity, is there no way out? Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe? Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy. When you look through the years and see what you could have been oh, what might have been, if you'd had more time. So, when the day comes to settle down, Who's to blame if you're not around? You took the long way home You took the long way home...........

Just a friendly 'warning' (although that sounds too serious, LOL), I've seen people entirely misread the meaning of the song, thinking it's being critical of 'wasting time' and wandering around aimlessly. I've seen Roger H say his point was along the lines of "we get where we get one way or another, and it may not be as we expected or even where we expected, but don't weigh yourself down with expectations to the point you forget to enjoy what you did, let alone flogging yourself over not 'being perfect' ". So he's NOT being critical of not doing things the 'right' way, or as soon as may have been technically possible, because sometimes we simply get there going "the long way home". Cheers

The lyrics say that the person in the song is looking back on his life, and thinking about what he could have been, if he had only had more time.

My favorite Supertramp memory is from a concert that they didn’t even play in. It was the Texxas Jam in the summer of ‘79 in Dallas and man was it hot. We were on the field (as we were for all Texxas Jams!) and really couldn’t move much because it was wall to wall people. Van Halen had just finished their set and wore everyone out. The break between sets was taking forever because Boston wanted the sun to go down before playing and we were just trying to survive the heat. Then a dude breaks out his harmonica and does the Long Way Home intro. Everyone started singing and partying and it just got us all revved up for the next band. Love me some Supertramp!

Supertramp is one of those hidden gem bands that people know a few songs, but don't know the group. I feel like most of the younger generation only knows them if their parents were fans growing up. They didn't quite hit that iconic status that their contemporaries did and faded from the public consciousness more than others. They are one of the most unique sounds of that era IMO and deserve more love than they get today.

I'm hoping that reactions like these are the modern day radio, and react-ers are like DJs: helping those interested in great 70s music find the good stuff. Reactions seem pretty popular, so I'm thinking there's hope.

[@buffalobraves9]

Supertramp always had that Beatles vibe to their songs. This is just another example of that. Roger Hodgson wrote Give a Little Bit after listening to All You Need is Love. Meaningful lyrics coupled with a great musical background. That was the Beatles recipe.

I ENVY YOU!!! You guys are about to go down the Supertramp “rabbit hole,” and I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t want to come out! If you survive, and you’re brave enough to flirt with another “rabbit hole,” try some STEELY DAN! I guarantee, these 2 bands will be on your Top 10 list…forever.

[@murrayspiffy2815]

They could spend a solid six months - doing nothing but - Steely Dan.

[@johnjames6980]

Ah, Steely Dan - they were so great! And a lot of their songs on the album AJA became hits - Deacon Blues, Black Cow, When Josie comes home, Peg, and Aja (my personal favorite). Really good stuff. Thanks

[@Ou81gi812]

@@johnjames6980 And that’s just ONE album…not to mention Donald Fagen’s solo efforts…Nightfly, FM,…etc.

[@johnjames6980]

@@Ou81gi812 You are absolutely correct!

[@joebersik9846]

"Good Bye Stranger" by ST is their best!!

[@tracyramirez3984]

My favorite Supertramp song!

[@Sawdoff2]

God, the memories this brings. Love this and couldn't help but Jack that volume as high as it would go for that intro.

[@timwhitnell7145]

My favourite group of all time. They have a unique sound. The music is often upbeat although the lyrics are often sad or dark. Any song from any of their five consecutive albums beginning with the all-time classic Crime of the Century followed by Crisis? What Crisis? (so underrated), Even In the Quietest Moments (sublime), Breakfast In America (most successful commercial LP), and Famous Last Words (underrated). These guys wrote about loneliness, social commentary, love, love lost, spirituality and more. Superb lyricists and musicians with great production. Very few pop/rock groups can meld organ and electric piano with regular doses of Harmonica (School is the classic example), saxophone and clarinet and make it sound great.

[@Crazywater1976]

The entire album is terrific. Really their masterpiece.

[@waynegonzales2951]

Disagree. Their masterpiece is Crime of the Century. This album is good, but they wanted to be more commercial and more airplay, so they produced this album.

[@toddstevens13]

SCHOOL is their OPUS, in my opinion and one of the finest piano solos of all time.

[@kentnottingham9635]

May need to hear CHILD OF VISION. Piano solo is long and BEAUTIFUL!!! (On Breakfast in America album)

[@pauljohm]

YES! Jay will love SCHOOL because of the impeccable keyboards and horns. Perfect!

[@vandergrad]

This whole album was phenomenal... part of the soundtrack of my high school years.

Early on, if you listen, he says his wife treats him like a piece of furniture. Not to spoil it but, there's one more line about what's going on, in his or their life and times. He is taking the long way home because he does not wish to be at home...

[@jamesredman1263]

Bingo. He is telling how he feels and why, straight up.

[@markyg236]

Have long wondered how much the wives had to do with the break-up

[@richmckinney7231]

when things get tough , you have to get out . coming from work , coming from home , the ride or trip calms you so you extend it by takin the long way .

[@777colin1]

Its just shows how talented Roger Hodgson was in Supertramp. He was the force and guiding light of the band. Just about every good song, he wrote

[@thomaskempton5240]

Life is short, enjoy the moment. You two have great reaction to a diverse group of performers. Keep up the great work. Peace and love forever and ever. Thank you.

[@beverlydiehl8272]

This is why we KNEW you'd love them. Two keyboardists, plus lots of harmonica, sax, clarinet. Both your favorites. The entire album of Crime of the Century is AMAZING I suggest you react in the order the album is arranged: School, Bloody Well Right (look for a live version of it), Hide in Your Shell, on and on. Some of the songs may be found under Roger Hodgson's individual channel.

[@bobinfaith]

Wow! I loved your REACTION first time listening to Take The Long Way Home! I loved how Amber reacted to the harmonica and the lyrics. Thank you, both!

[@amelirachelmcqueen]

Love this band!!!! So many great songs suggested…. Can’t wait to see more Supertramp reactions!

[@JeromeDukes]

The guy is spot on, Supertramp reminds me of summer, camping, road trip, cottage, bbq, drinks with friends. They are a great band, definitely a good one to explore. This album is fantastic.

[@brettwilkie3833]

I love so many of their songs but "Hide in Your Shell" is my fave. Great lyrics & musicianship.

[@Steffe]

A favorite band for 40 years.

[@nonsuch]

The way the bass guitar sits in the mix is absolutely perfect. Strive for that, youngins!

[@blairedwards6025]

Saw them in the mid 70's in Edinburgh playing their first album Crime of the century. Been a fan ever since

[@countmein518]

They are master of music..I seen supertramp 3 times in concert. All the way back..u want to hear something wild. Listen to school..or even in the quietness moments..no matter what songs. Roger was a gift for us to enjoy his music..thanks for playing this
