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

[@hairylarry6167]

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.

I was only a kid when I fell in love with this. My parents listened to it all of the time. After we lost my father in 88 my mother started taking every back road she could find on her way home from work. It was her chance for a road soda and to breath before coming home to reality. I lost mom to cancer in 2018. Now I find myself going out of my way to take the long home Happy Mother’s Day.

They saved me over and over in my heart and soul with their spiritual songs. They have always been my favorite. Babaji and Even in the Quietest Moments. I must have listened to them a couple of thousand times back then. Life is a fantasy. You tried to tell me back then and I finally got it. Is it time to know....Babaji, Babaji.

This song always speaks to me. My wife and I have made 42 years together but not always easy ones. I owned a business she never seemed to want to understand. It was very successful, after a rocky start. But she never saw that. 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. My wife chose to stay home that night. The song means nothing to her, but has pulled me through on many occasions.

No one now days has an idea of what music really is. This is amazing! Dying breed. Someone needs to do something and get this kind of music in kids lives! This stuff heals and gives people inspiration. Now days it is compromised! Very sad!

[@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.

Yes ma’am Sheila…

[@Gill-e5f]

Everything about this song is absolutely perfect!

[@ladierspercoski3360]

Supertramp is part of my life and I'm thankful for that. Great music forever.

[@rayrecordings]

The level of songwriting of Roger Hodgson is still mesmerizing at every listen, after 45 years. This album will go to Mars and beyond, y’all.

[@Paulzpc]

UNBELIEVABLE, this music sings from a human soul, and touches every part of who you are! I am SO sad there will never be artists like this in the future...long live Supertramp long live these artists' music!

[@earthangel8730]

What an arrogant and pessimistic thing to say. You have effectively chosen NOT to evolve.

[@jakeeasterwood3204]

Masterpieces like this will live forever… Long after the garbage that is being mass produced now is buried and forgotten. The 50s through the 90s was a great time to be around. “They just don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

70's were the best! somewhat of a Resurgence in the 90s. Best Decades of Rock!

[@osu4mul8r]

I’ve listened to this song 100’s of times. That harmonica still raises hairs on my neck!

[@sharonwagner3108]

Yep

[@sharonwagner3108]

Soo great...

[@ambientmile]

Supertramp was the a big part of my pre-teen years. Many years later I was working for a music manufacturer and was working our booth at the NAMM show and someone taps my shoulder and in a quiet voice asked me if the owner was around. I turned around and there was Roger. Now I met a LOT of musicians while working there, but meeting Roger was one of the biggest treats! I was so familiar with his music and he was so kind and friendly.

[@ronnietoots6797]

share it with everyone, good story!

[@andr00NZ]

The ultimate song. The quality, the character, the musicality, the arrangement are all at the top of the game. If only it was 30 minutes long! I am now 74 years old and the two standout songs of my life have been this and Friday On My Mind. They have never lost their lustre!

[@robertcoker4648]

30 minutes, I'd like to 2nd that opinion !!

[@kdmil2002]

This one of those songs that just transports me back to a time and place and a very special time in my youth. This band had a very unique and iconic sound that still leaves an impact when I hear it today. Has it really been 50 years? Wow, that went by like a flash!

[@evelinviduka1]

Exactly, it simply "transports" you...! You put it beautifully, just the way it was/is! 💙✌️

My Grandma told me that the older you get, the faster time goes. Man, was she right

[@Tobias-xr9gy]

@@deeanna5814 yes thats true here’s a experiment: If ur 20, 10 years is half ur life and half(+) of your memories. If ur 40 10 years is only still a quarter of your life and memories.

So ur memory/time awareness is kind of exponential

[@davidarmitage289]

IKR? Tears filled my eyes when the harmonica started.... so many great memories from the summer of 1979 and my friends

[@allknight7905]

I believe he walked away from Supertramp in its heyday to be a stay home father now he’s back on stage: His children must be immensely proud of him

[@johnliebenthal]

Ironic since it's about being free from a mundane relationship.

[@estebancerutti5067]

Soy de Mendoza, Argentina, y estoy por pasar a retiro, a partir del 1° de septiembre de este año, con 34 años de servicio en la vida militar. Siempre extrañé mí hogar, mí familia, mí amada Mendoza. Nunca pude estar a menos de 1.000 kms de ellos, siempre fue más lejos. Y si Dios, me lo permite, estaré tomando, ese largo camino a casa. Cuando escucho este tema, de Roger Hodgson, me traslada a los recuerdos, y al largo camino, que me tocó transitar.

[@tylersikora894]

The harmonica in this sound is the coolest thing in the world! It just blasts right through your heart! His voice was always so distintive, you could tell in the first few notes it was supertramp! The were trailblazers in their day, one of a kind!

[@jeremysayers6609]

I was 12 in 1979 in Australia and Supertramp filled me with mystery wonder and love for this legendary band.

Technically perfect. Each note and time signature just as the studio recording. What a band🙂

Sensory perfection. What a gift! Every millisecond is perfectly orchestrated every sound, movement, lack of movement, beat, lack of beat, polished perfection!

One of the most underrated rock bands of all times! I hope new generations will rediscover them.

[@shellirk2819]

I was born in '67 and my brother are boomers. The music I grew up to just can't be compared to todays music. Had my only child at 38. She only heard "my music" but started listening to kpop at 12( kid, what the heck is THAT shit?) But at 14 she, by some stroke of a blessing, started listening to my playlist! Now she can't get enough of the great music from the past. She's 15 now and kpop is just a weird memory. ♥️

1978 my girlfriend now wife were vacationing in Daytona Beach and everyday we walked down to this Greek restaurant had a Gyro and listened to Breakfast in America on 8 track that just played over and over again and we never got sick of it.

[@randymiller3949]

AWESOME MEMORIES JIM!!! I've said this once & I say it again...in my opinion, 1978-1985 is the Greatest ERA/DECADE of music to ever come around. Much love from Mobile Alabama.
