Supertramp, Lord Is It Mine - A Classical Musician’s First Listen and Reaction

[@MrBrabo1]

More Supertramp would be much appreciated 😉

[@DWbo-r7v]

'Crime of the century' please ❤

[@TheNosferatu666]

@DWbo-r7v I would prefer "School".

[@TheNosferatu666]

or some Song's of Saga! Like "Humble Stance"

[@kentl7228]

Bloody well right, it would be

[@jerryward3311]

Give a Little Bit or Logical Song.

[@grayfool]

You can never have enough Supertramp. Truly unique. They don't sound like anyone else and nobody else sounds like them. I was a fan from my first listen to "Crime Of The Century" back in the seventies and, at 64, I still am.

[@GinMae]

Yes! Me, too! (also, same age.. lol)

[@rk41gator]

It is nice to have Amy 'enchanted' by music I love. Wish she would take more deep dives into such bands as this who know music and have style.

[@gettingkilt]

Lovely breakdown of one of the least well known Supertramp tracks. It's never been a favourite of mine and the pseudo religious lyrics are cloying but it's not bad music either. Supertramp is a brilliant band. I'd like to hear what Amy thinks of some of their better tracks. Logical Song, Bloody Well Right, or perhaps Rudy.

[@colindebourg9012]

Supertramp the most gifted but criminally under rated band ever, more please.

[@artbascomb1336]

Ahhh, Supertramp. I’m glad they’re making an appearance. I hope you’ll explore their catalog of music…it is fantastic.

[@41Forethought]

Supertramp made wonderful use of woodwinds in many of their pieces. John Helliwell was (and is) a master at creating emotion and mood with his woods. Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson were both very accomplished composers and arrangers - their artistry lifts Supertramp above most other prog rock groups of the 70s and early 80s. Thank you, Amy, for another insightful analysis.

[@TonyShepps]

Watching old concert videos makes it clear that Helliwell was their secret weapon. Not only did he play all the wind instruments, but also important keyboard parts and sang background... whatever was needed. I think I caught him singing falsettos on Rick songs!

[@41Forethought]

​@@TonyShepps Indeed - Helliwell was and still is a master!

[@pablolazaromartinez3541]

Fool's overture, please! ❤️

[@Fred_Lougee]

Pausing seven minutes in to say that the look on your face when the alto sax kicked in was priceless.

[@parissimons6385]

Thanks for this listen and response! Supertramp's run of 4 great LPs (Crime of the Century; Crisis? What Crisis?; Even in the Quietest Moments; Breakfast in America) appeared while I was in high school from 1974 to 1979 on the West Coast of Canada. This band was popular with me and my friends. We enjoyed the complexity of the songs as they fit together on each album as a kind of suite, the sound of clarinet and saxophone, the difference between the sound of the two lead singers. I enjoyed seeing Supertramp in concert on the Breakfast In America tour, the same tour that led to their double live LP recording in Paris, France. Same years that Pink Floyd produced Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall. Jethro Tull produced great LPs, from Minstrel In The Gallery to Songs from the Wood, etc. Genesis created Foxtrot, Selling England By The Pound, The Lamb, then Peter Gabriel left and Phil Collins stepped from behind the drums for Trick of the Tail, etc. Meanwhile, David Bowie travelled from Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke, on through the Berlin Trilogy, and finished the decade with Scary Monsters. Roxy Music moved from bizarre to smooth by the end of the decade. And "punk" exploded from 1976, with the Sex Pistols, The Clash, Buzzcocks, Talking Heads, Blondie, and others. Leading into post-punk with Magazine, Gang of Four, The Cure, etc. Joni Mitchell was doing her own thing through the 70s, and Kate Bush appeared later in the decade. And there was so much more music of interest, too, in other genres.

[@djknox2]

I echo your sentiments. What an era of music! I saw Supertramp on tour for each of those 4 LPs. I was just a child for Crime of the Century but my brother was 7 years senior and so I benefited from his engagement with great bands, including seeing Pink Floyd in Hamilton between their WYWH and Animals LPs.

[@jeanpaultomolillo2821]

Né en 58, oui j'ai de la chance d'avoir connu tout ceci en concert puis avec les disques. Oui on a plus ces musiciens aujourd'hui, on a plus ces grands groupes et faudrait peut-être se poser la question, pourquoi ? Et oui, pour moi on régresse en musique !!!!!

[@BearClanMan1970]

A majestic song from an amazing band. Another great reaction, Amy.

[@alainvachon6255]

School was my first song by them that I heard and I was instantly a fan. The piano part did it for me 😊

Une de mes préférées aussi, mais de ce groupe, on écoute les album en entier, ce qui est trés rare en général !!!!!

[@mooseguy0123]

I've been waiting for some Supertramp and I'm glad the wait is over. An underappreiciated band IMO. I look forward to you discovering more from them.

[@CaseAgainstFaith1]

Indeed. I love the Tramp

[@sgboone261]

Agreed

[@rk41gator]

One of my favorite bands. (I am so frustrated Amy has not found Phil Collins yet.....will, once with Genesis. But she would be excellent listening to his Paris 2004 'In The Air Tonight!) eh?

[@sheltoncercal2969]

Roger Hodgson's voice in this piece sounds like angels touching your very inside soul

[@richardcurley5798]

I’ve never head this song by Supertramp before, but it took me someplace, as obviously took you. I am not a religious person, but I got lost in this tune & it took me someplace. I listened with tears in my eyes. Thanks for taking me there

[@lynby6231]

Wow apart from perhaps “Crime of the century”, “Breakfast in America” is probably their most well known album. You should listen to “Take the long way home” from this album too.

[@Duh6666666]

There is a wistfulness in much of Supertramp's music, not sure what produces it, but I hear it in many of their songs. Welcome to the rabbit hole!

[@mickeyhank]

Loved your reaction. You were really moved -- understandably. Thanks.

[@kentnottingham9635]

The “There must me a thousand voices trying to get through” when he’s praying KILLS ME!!! Every song on this album is absolutely perfect!!!!

Me too ! Finally my prayers answered. Even in the Quietest moments and fools overture are on my Amy wish list !

[@douglasg.9271]

I’m so excited, and happy for you to dip into Supertramp. Such a lovely song, from an incredible album. ❤

[@jeffin8127]

I was in junior high when the Breakfast in America album came out in '79 and couldn't get enough of Goodbye Stranger. A few years later I was able to check out the album from my local library but wasn't too impressed with the other songs outside of the four played on radio. I've always been into recording and mixing my own music and have read and watched tons of videos and books. In 2023 I saw Mobile Fidelity had done a remaster of Breakfast in America, and as I wanted full versions of the songs (greatest hits compilations tended to use the chopped up 'single' versions) I decided to pull the trigger and bought it, even though I don't yet have an SACD player. I have a good-sized CD collection, but I have never heard an album that was so GOOD sonically as this one. The production and engineering, just... Wow. This song is the cherry on top of it all. Really looking forward to seeing Amy's reaction to the 'hits' (Goodbye Stranger, Logical Song, Breakfast in America and Long Train Home - especially those last two).

[@WilliamofKent]

Great review and analysis! I love how sensitive you are to the subtleties of music like this. I hope you'll listen to Supertramp's "Even in the Quietest Moments" in the near future - a mesmerizing tune that also makes powerful and tasteful use of diminuendo notes "from beyond".

[@stevemurray7216]

I've been a fan of Supertramp since the 70's, so glad to see you reacting (and enjoying) their music. This is a track I haven't listened to as much as others, thanks for highlighting it as a special piece of music that I had bypassed. I would really appreciate you recting to more from this band, especially from the album Crime of the Century.

[@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk]

There's not a bad song on either of those albums.

[@madelefanni749]

Ho letteralmente ascoltato tutto l'album "breakfast in america" migliaia di volte. Erano anni d'oro per la musica, per quel che mi riguarda, in Europa, in Italia e un po' (poco, in realtà) negli U.S.A.😊

The incredible amount of hours that went into producing this album in order to perfect every sound and blend is astonishing. Breakfast In America is one of the top engineered albums of all time.

[@tonynorriss379]

As a musician you will enjoy your journey with Supertramp. Lots of interesting, creative ideas in their music. The Logical Song is a must. But one of my favourites from a musical perspective is "Bloody Well Right".

And thanks to this podcast episode I just happened to know this great Supertramp song!❤️ And it really took me to that so needed special place... awesome! BTW, sometimes a simple melody works much better than a too elaborated one 😉.

[@bernie8987]

Fools Overture is one of their beautifully written and orchestrated works

[@jonathanmaybury5698]

Even in the darkest moments, this song is a powerful testament to the human spirit's capacity to endure and overcome, a poignant reminder that in the most trying times, there is always hope for a better tomorrow. I've dedicated my life to working hard and making do with what little I have, but the physical toll has taken its toll: arthritis ravages my limbs, my heart beats with a weakened rhythm, and type 2 diabetes is a constant companion. Yet, I press on, driven by the promise of a future where I can finally rest and enjoy the fruits of my labour, when I can draw my pension and leave the struggles of this life behind. Until my time is no more. Ps, you will love Supertramp they are musical masters.

@@jonathanmaybury5698 And it continues with Roger Hodgson's solo releases. Hodgson has always had this special talent for reaching the human spirit and very core. Very moving. Another thing mentioned is how there's always development in the music, and this is so true. Much of Supertramp's music appears very repetitive on the surface, but the magic is, that it is constantly evolving, and if given attention, rewards the listener with magical journeys. Amy's use of the comparisons with sunsets and sunrises is so spot on. Often their songs start almost like a whisper, evolve into a dramatic crescendo before returning to the reflective nature in the end. So wonderful!

[@Anautistictherapist]

I think we all relate to the deep yearning this song expresses so beautifully. It’s transcendent.

[@lauscho]

As a Canadian, I can confirm. This band is really popular here. Even younger generations are likely to recognize "The Logical Song" or "Dreamer". "Goodbye Stranger" is the only song I know how to play on piano... As for expecting a baritone voice, this is one of those bands that has two lead singers, and the other is a little more on that side of the equation. And I never really thought much of the saxophone solo in this song, but now that you talk about it, I've just realized how absolutely LOVELY it is. This is a bit of an unorthodox piece to start with from them, but a really good one!

[@santiagoalvareztabares3598]

This band is all about songwriting and arrangements. The saxophone and woodwind player, mr John Anthony Heliwell, is the jack of all trades of the band. He sings harmonies, plays the ocassional keyboard background and some other sound/ arrangenent effects and then shines in all his interventions as a soloist when it comes to pass

[@markfilla9305]

I could tell as you were listening to this that you really liked it. Supertramp was a top-talent band that mixed several genres very well - prog, pop, rock with a dose of jazz/blues here and there. If you liked this, I highly recommend the song Even in the Quietest Moments. It's a very moving song.

[@jonathanmaybury5698]

If I had to pick a follow up song I think even in the quietest moments would be the one I would choose.

Supertramp created some of my favorite music. I thank you for the listen and commentary and look forward to more from this "super" band. Among my favorites are "Fool's Overture", "The Logical Song", "Rudy", and "Even in the Quietest Moments".

[@anthonyrausch2323]

Supertramp was so good. Listened to them all the while I served in the Rhodesian Light Infantry and Rhodesian Army in the mid 1970's. When drinking and partying (off duty) kept you motivated in case you were living your last day.

[@cirruscapo]

Supertramp is one of my all-time favorite bands, just wish they didn't have so many disagreements within the band...

And more Supertramp please...

[@djknox2]

Wow. First Tom Petty and then Supertramp. Your taste is improving dramatically! Their best LP is arguably EVEN IN THE QUIETEST MOMENTS. They had 4 straight top shelf LPs in a row: Crime of the Century, Crisis What Crisis?, Even In the Quietest Moments, and Breakfast in America. All 4 of these would likely fall in the top 100 LPs of all time, making them easily a top 12 rock band of all time. Extraordinary talent in that band... You won't find more pleasant melodies than with Supertramp. Davies and Hodgson are extreme songwriting talents.

[@keithbk]

When I made the transition to CDs, "Even in the Quietest Moments" was the first CD I ever bought. I originally owned this album on 8-Track. There was so much to this album, and it's largely weighted toward acoustic instruments, but it was a true connoisseur's album. Sure, the "easiest" song to get hooked with was the only actual hit on the album, "Give a Little Bit." But when you get to appreciate songs like "Downstream" or the climactic "Fool's Overture," you realize that this album is an absolute masterpiece. Whereas "Crime of the Century" is a distinctly BRITISH album, I always said "Even in the Quietest Moments" is a uniquely EUROPEAN album. Do you agree with this assessment?

[@russelljackman1413]

I love, love, love this song! Supertramp is a wonderful group. I'm glad you enjoyed this! It always gives me gooseflesh. Roger Hodgson has a beautiful, and truly unique voice. More, please.

Transcendent. These musicians can transport the listener to another realm. Supertramp has great instrumentations and transitions. Prog elevated. MORE! Lost in the music is a fine thing. Especially when done so subtly and well. Tasteful elegance. 'School' or 'The Logical Song' will offer another side of this band. (now also find more Genesis, please) Lovely review, extra special.

[@LeeKennison]

Great reaction Amy, I am glad you enjoyed this so much. While one of their deeper cuts, it is still a great song. I also like how this song expresses the idea of needing to find a quiet place to calm the spirit, particularly in this modern world. This same album has some more popular songs that I think you will really like, ones that better show off their incredible musicianship from all the band members, such as their very popular and more musically impressive "Logical Song," among others. It is also worth watching one of their live performances, which I think helps you to better appreciate their musicianship, such as how some members switch between instruments as they are performing, often within the same song.

[@randybass8842]

Yes, a good definition of Supertramp. They transcend genre. They seem to have their own, separate from all other musicians.

[@malcyates]

Amy. Well. I'm so glad that an experienced, professional musician can still be moved like the rest of us. You enjoyed that, didn't you ? I loved the description of how that one sound blended from flute to clarinet etc. I'd never have though to look at it that way : thank you ;-)

[@wungoodguy]

I'm thrilled that you appreciate this song as much as I do. I would say that on the spectrum of their whole body of work, this could be placed at one end as their sweetest, most mellow piece. That's not to say that there aren't more songs of theirs that have sections that have this particular type of quietness. An excellent example would be "Even in the Quietest Moments", one their most epic tunes, for sure. However, that song has a wider range that moves from sweet and beautiful to powerful and intense tempo, then back again. I would suggest that epic piece as your next listen. Or... something from their "Crime of the Century" album, which was their biggest album until "Breakfast in America" came along. That's a fantastic album that fits in the center of the spectrum. Perhaps "Dreamer", or "School". I absolutely love Supertramp! A huge part of my teenage years of Prog Rock.

Supertramp is a band that makes music with the right instrument at the right time... In some songs, the drums only come in at specific moments, then they hide until they are needed again. The result is emotional swells that come in like tides from the ocean.

A Roger Hodgson song--while Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson shared song writing credits(a la McCartney and Lennon with the Beatles), the song was written by Hodgson, because he's the lead singer, when Davies is the lead singer, Davies wrote the song. As usual with Roger Hodgson, a well-crafted pop song with the arrangement perfectly highlighting the lyrics. The use of the organ perhaps is a subtle hint as to the spiritual/religious tone of the lyrics. Also as usual with Supertramp, excellent production/engineering, Hodgson's vocals perfect, Rick Davies on organ outstanding, John Helliwell nailing his solo as always

[@klausheckendorf649]

Supertramp and Hodgson were masters of this "special note" and the mood it provides. Chord progression and putting together the different parts of a song harmonically was - at least regarding this kind of music - almost perfect like hardly anyone else. Some rock fans will not like this music, it´s too "sweet", but I and many others acknowledge the sheer beauty of it. There are many songs transporting this quality, even better, in Supertramp´s repertoire. Hodgson´s angelic voice and the warm, gentle sound of the wind instruments highlighted this. But in fact all of them were essential parts of the band, bass and drums too. The often dominating (electric) piano anyway. In a way Supertramp were in a league of their own - back then you would realize them as soon as the music started.

[@decocatani]

...and Lord is it Mine, without any doubt a beautiful song, isn´t even near other incredible songs by this amazing band. Listen to School, Crime of the Century, Fool´s Overture, Dreamer, Breakfast in America, Logical Song etc. Try the live recording at Paris

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

As a Canadian fan of Supertramp, I aways feel I need to give some additional context to how huge the band was in Canada. When their album Crime of the Century reached 1 million sales, the population of the entire country was around 20 million people. This means that approximately 1 in 5 out of every single household across the country had a copy of the album. I still have every album from Crime of the Century on. Consider myself fortunate to have seen them live. One of the few bands who could play a hockey barn like Northlands Coliseum and duplicate what they played on their albums live.

One lady drove a MG (British racing green) and had two poodles #Even in the quietest moments and the other was a friend of my sister #Breakfast in America! As usual, great analysis, Thank you for the memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!
