Take the Long Way Home - Roger Hodgson (Supertramp) Writer and Composer

[@terrycrogg3355]

My wife passed 20 months ago and we get lost driving she put the CD in sing all the long way home LORD I miss her

[@brianniegemann4788]

May God bless you, 20 months is not that long. It's been 12 years for me. With time you will treasure the memories and the bad parts will fade away. Don't bottle it all up, tell your friends and family how you feel even if they don't know just what to say to you.

I was broke and living in a car when this song came out. My life had come to a total stop. This song came on the radio, and it spoke volumes to me. I knew it would be a long way home, to get back into decent living and no longer a waste cake. 50 years later, I'm back home in my home state, and have a home and a family and even a show car. It was a long way home. My next home is Heaven.

The words of being on stage and how wonderful that is, only to go home to a wife that used to be so nice and didn't understand really hit home. I saw Roger in concert a few years ago.

Funny I read this today. This song was playing on the radio in my car the other day and I said to my gf the album is one of the best I know.

[@dustythe2nd188]

Mine as well. I still come to listen here lately, thanks to youtube. I get to see all my old fav's. I like the new stuff and in between as well. But this is VERY nostalgic for me. Just love this band & Roger esp. If not for him it wouldn't be what it is.

If Supertramp is not in the Rock and Roll hall of fame they should be. ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊

[@markcollins2666]

Eh, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a racket, a moneymaking operation, the same as the Hollywood Walk of Fame. You, yourself, can buy a star, if you have the money. Trump did. It's only out for itself. It's meaningless. Your fan devotion is what really counts.

Hey i love the comment about the "fishnet" stockings .....lol 🙂 . But with lyrics like :- . """"I loved you for your OOOOO ...(O00) But you just liked me for my RRRR...(R) ......... now the chorus Dont love me for my OOO-RRR And stop if you're going too far """" . See ???? .... sophisticated or what ???? lol..... Absolute Rubbish 🙂 . Sure the odd song pops up maybe 2 or 3 in a year ... but if you look at the UK charts of 1979 ...... every song in the charts was compatible with Supertramp. !!!!!! .

You've never really heard this song till you find a quiet place in the woods and play it on a Walkman alone in silence . I found a grove of trees two lines planted years earlier by a young man who was now old . I laid there and listened to the whole album . Life you cannot predict it. Still here, still hear !

[@annelyttle8814]

I have just found these videos. (Admittedly not much into tech.) I was listening to Supertramp on the Alexa a few days ago and still love the sound. How I missed it. Agreed this music heals. A lot of music does. I recall being in a dark place in my late teens, absorbing Supertramp's sound - those harmonica and saxophone sounds are incredible - and poring over the lyrics. So positive and oh that music, for me, expressed such hope. The darkness went a few years later. The hope lasts. Forty years later Roger Hodgson's music is still magical. The fact he wrote these in his late teens is just amazing to me. Such insight. Thank you Sir. Your compositions were a light to a lost and lonely soul. God bless you.
