The song is basically, as a kid you just accept life. It’s magical, joyful, in tune with the birds and nature. Then society “teaches” you how to part of the chaos. Pushing away your innocence. To me the song is about, Who am I underneath all this garbage society has put on top me? Who am I REALLY? Who would I be if I had been left alone, and continued to grow as an adult from the place of the little boy with the trees and one with nature, who would I be right now?

However, Gregory's take is still valid: what would be without undue influence of an overbearing, stifling, over-populated and cold world? You can be an artist without people telling you how to live and how to think. However, all of those people can't make you have talent.

@@paulf4802 If you dont like the word "animal" as showing difference... I give some examples, what you would have NOT without society: No language. No arts. No entertainment from external sources. No roots. No goals. And no training on whatever. So no understanding in whatever. How could anybody find out about his artist talent when there is no art? For me this is also very, very "cold" (well... not "cold" but just something I wouldnt wish at all for me). I do understand the critique of our modern world in which especially our economic system leads to many inhuman problems but also still a lot religious and/or political fundamentalism. Interestingly some artists think most problems are linked to technology. Or that we in industrialized countries would have any problem with "overpopulation" (although here in Germany we have really many people per square meter... no... overpopulation isnt an issue at all here). I really like also very critical arts about our world. But sometimes... I see it go a bit wrong. Maybe Roger Hodgson was really a "simple man". Maybe it was just poetry and everybody can put into the words whatever he wants to. Maybe I dont understand him and you. For me its very easy: Without society (and already just a familiy or a little clan is a society)... there is nothing your brain can learn from on such an intense level - not even close. Again: No language, (almost) no learning, (almost) no training, no understanding. And maybe its all my "problem" with your statements... cause... I really like to try to understand the world I live in :)

@@BoothTheGrey I don't there is anything wrong with your take on the world or that you have a "problem." Indeed, without other humans, we couldn't achieve as much without social learning or cues. Art without humans to appreciate it would not be art. We are social beings and evolved that way. We will evolve as human beings as the world changes, for better or for worse. It would be cold and lonely without other humans with which to socialize; however, a person can feel lonely in a crowded auditorium.

Musically and lyrically about as good as it gets. The meaning of the song questions the education system. Roger Hodgson said: "They teach us how to function on the outside and to be very intellectual, but they don't tell us how to act with our intuition & heart or give us a real plausible explanation on what life's about." So very true and it's why so many people grow up and become sheep.

I’ve returned to this song recently and it perfectly parallels the protests right now at universities- you start young and want to learn, you start learning, then you learn too much but keep human values which make you dangerous and difficult to control… “radical, liberal… criminal.” A song released 45 years ago still very relevant.
@ikedogman17 ай бұрын
It was funny how he picked up on the word placement but couldn’t quite put his finger on it. Besides the rhyme clearly the words are chosen deliberately to make a point. The idea that the society that is trying to mold you and tell you who you are supposed to be would think “fanatical, liberal, criminal, radical” are all synonymous. And then when it’s from the singers point of view he equates the version of the “sensible, practical, logical” person he’s being molded into as being a “cynical vegetable”. It’s really clever word play and I’ve always connected with this song.

Back in the days you really at times never knew most of the words unless you read them on the back of an album or from the LP sleeve. We never had the option to watch it on youtube, in fact the only time you saw any performance if you caught the band on TV, American Bandstand, Soul Train, Midnight Special with Wolfman Jack or Don Kirshner's Rock Concert.

Enjoyed Your reaction to SuperTramp Logical Song. I have told my kids I want this played at my funeral. First, this song is from an album of the late 70s (band formed in the 60s,) so Eminen was a baby. The instrument is indeed a Sax. Yes, you have it correct, the character does have insomnia and is laying in bed during the refrain thinking about his life and the deep questions, (I do the same as I have insomnia as well). The song is basically about society molding us from an innocent child, into just another mindless automata and teaching us not to step out of societal normalality. Of course Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies were English, where sending your kids off to school, was big in the day. But even in America, we send the kids off daily to private or public schools, where the kids are expected to stop being innocent and silly kids, and to grow up and become sensible, logical, responsible, practical, intellectual, and cynical. Then we jump out into the adult world, where people are judging us, and we try to conform to life by trying to act respectable, and like everyone else by having no individual feelings or opinions like a vegetable. I relate to all this, being in my mature years, and looking back on my life. I especially relate to, and find the refrain relatable, as I too lay in bed at night, while everyone is a sleep, and think about my life and where it went, and why I was put here. (insomnia sucks!) Anyway, I enjoy your videos and being open to different things.

As songs often do, this song takes me back to about 1984 and looking after a game centre for teenagers (pinball and such) in Parramatta NSW (Australia) and one of the kids who I seemed to connect with kept asking for this song to be played (which I could select). It seemed to mean a lot to him and make him ask a lot of questions about where his life was going. Always a huge step when you are coming out of teenage years and approaching adulthood.. I always felt it was a very real and pertinent realisation for him that he connected with this track. I've always loved this track, but hearing it now I think probably Supertramp could've done even more with it (especially lyrically). Nonetheless i still enjoyed it and Brads reaction especially..

It was a sax, you ned to hear more Supertramp, a very underrated band, full of quality songs.

Great production, the electric guitar in the chorus is so powerful and the saxophone is perfectly mixed in.

I saw Roger Hodgson (the singer here) in a solo concert in 2019, and he sang all the Supertramp songs. This one was huge so we were all singing along. The other one that got everyone up on their feet was 'It's Raining Again'. We're British, it's kind of our national anthem. This was one of those occasions when Brad got it completely and Lex didn't. I think he's going to be pondering this for a long time!

"Breakfast in America" was once the biggest album of all time back in the 70s

I've always understood this song to be speaking of our Educational System replacing our natural, individual perspectives & creativity with that of the status quo. One of my favorite bands of all time and glad to see them on your channel!

When I heard this song as a kid I was shocked and mesmerized. Art hits us at times that change us.

There are 4 basic basic types of 🎷's. Soprano, alto, tenor, and a baritone. The one used in this song is a tenor saxophone.
@ice-iu3vv3 жыл бұрын
its an alto bro. there are 4 standard or common types as you suggest. they arent more "basic" than the others ( sopranino, bass, contrabass, c-melody, f-mezzo, contralto, sopranissimo, subcontrabass, etc are all the same "basic" design.)

Supertramp is relatively unknown in the USA, but in Canada they were popular. Their album Crime of the Century is awesome! Please take a listen to "School", one of their best songs.

Anything from the Crime of the Century album is musical gold,you can’t go wrong. It’s cool the way you don’t know all the fancy words but you know what you like.

He's trying to figure out the lyrics and what the song means and she's just feeling it and vibing. You guys complement each other nicely.

Brad - I think you'd refer to that as the "flow" or "cadence" I love this group and their music. Excellent review/reaction as usual you two.

I can’t hear this song without thinking back to my edm/techno days. I forget who sampled it but I used to listen to it all the time back in the day.

I remember this song from the radio in the day. I was young and didn't know how hardcore the lyrics were. Pretty cool.
