Supertramp - If Everyone Was Listening Reaction

[@keithisaacs6092]

Beautiful music and great lyrics Supertramp are one of the all time great bands. Roger Hodgson sings with such feeling and emotion truly a great musician and song writer. Not forgetting the late great Rik Davies a band of many talents and adversity.

[@gdavho8778]

One of the best songs ever!

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Great band, Supertramp, they have their own sound and can't really be mistaken for anyone else, great reaction.

[@davidellis5141]

Supertramp had their own unique identity as a band & it was hard not to like such well written music performed with perfect precision. Good stuff 👍

[@fredwalsh4095]

I've been a fan of Supertramp since 1973, and by far Crime Of The Century is their best work, I have seen them and Roger Hodgson since they broke up several times. I have all their music. You have to give a listen to Fools Overture from Even In The Quiest Moments Album, or Soapbox Opera from Crisi What Crisis album. I'll be watching.

[@johnmavroudis2054]

EVERYTHING from this album... to the next "CRISIS, WHAT CRISIS?"... to the next ("EVEN IN THE QUIETEST MOMENTS") is SUPERB. Then came their great "BREAKFAST IN AMERICA"... so that's a hell of a run. Love this song. I'd highly recommend "A SOAPBOX OPERA," "FOOL'S OVERTURE," and "THE MEANING," for a listen... they are all magical. Cheers!

[@Starburst_Candy]

I think that Supertramp are fantastic, and yet this song is so dire, that I wouldn't have believed it was Supertramp

I knew Supertramp through their singles but it took me a while to really appreciate them. I really like this. Cheers

[@Suve35967]

Amazing Song.. Thank you.♥️🌹👍

[@patrickwouters6568]

Hi Cinthia and Chris, I'm almost 65, and my musical world completely changed in the early 70's when I heard Pink Floyd and Genesis. I also fell in love with this Supertramp album in 1974, every track is great. I hope you will one day react to "Rudy" who is my absolute favorite. Their next 2 albums ("Crisis? What Crisis" and "Even In The Quietest Moments" also contain gems. Have a nice day.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

A shout-out! Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the song. That clarinet solo gets me every time - John A Helliwell's saxophone and clarinet work adds an extra dimension to Supertramp's music.

[@joecveteticccvetetic4068]

Love this 1..hide in your shell..same album

[@adriankent603]

To me, Crime of the century is this incredibly talented bands best album, the production by Ken Scott is immaculate, much social commentary, all the worlds a stage and we are all players and portrayers

[@ghichens3418]

Class Act ! Great Album . Have not played it for a while , will dig out Later and give it some Welly . Cheers !

[@scottmacdonald1826]

Yep

[@johnchrysostomon6284]

Imagine sticking around for 4 years, and 3 major line-up changes, to get to your third album still believing in yourselves....? Rick Davies, and Roger Hodgson had a self-titled album "Supertramp", then "Indelibly Stamped" (interesting album cover) and finally success with this album

[@TheBuzzard1209]

SuperTramp! Are they in The RRHOF? They should be!

[@hanierfamily]

Agreed.

[@stevedotwood]

absolutely about life and it seems to never get o;ld if you see what they're doing today

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

I’m a fan of Roger not so much Supertramp , logical song is in my top 50 of all time - never heard this before and I’m happy to leave it at just one listen as it’s a bit of a dirge to my ears . 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I sent an email with a picture of The Black Sorrows attached, if ever you decide to do them. Pictures of the band taken around the time of ''Chained To The Wheel'' are hard to find.

[@billhiggins1882]

I think it's about politicians

[@colrhodes377]

Supertramp dared to be different and they always stood out. A great band, but I'm not sure about this song. I'll need to listen again later on.

[@hanierfamily]

We're thinking it may work better as a piece of the album. Perhaps it makes more sense that way.

[@festinalenterockband9017]

This song almost sounds like Puccini

I'm not a huge fan but they did some ok stuff.

I’m not a Lebron fan but he is a legend. Ok stuff? Show some goddamn respect just because you’re not a fan doesn’t make them any less. Hey bud the world doesn’t revolve around you maybe you will figure that out someday

This album was written during the cold war, when a nuclear holocaust was a possibility. Who’ll be the last clown To bring the house down?

[@stevebiddell2839]

Who will be theclast clown to bring thehouse down - Putin? Cameron? Macron? Netmyahu?

[@DamienCalnon-uq7zj]

I think this song could have been better by taking out the drums, bass and possibly strings - simply leaving the vocals, keys and the clarinet. I just feel the other instruments are superfluous and detract from the sound.
