God, I love all of you here in the comments. I don't know ANY of you, but the fact that you're here means I love all of you so damn much. This track has always been my favorite go-to track for this message. Brother Where You Bound is obviously right up there too - another fucking righteous masterpiece.

Supertramp es el grupo más infravalorado de la historia

[@Antonius6849]

This is magic. It's at least 25 years since I last listened to this song. Everything about it is beautiful, I don't even know where to begin from. The intro, the music, the chorus, the video, the choreography, the atmosphere, the lyrics, the music. I'm so happy I rediscovered it. Genius. Genius. Genius. It's impossible to find such a superb combination of music and video nowadays. But who cares as long as we can trip down memory lane on youtube.

[@sebasdebordeaux8347]

absolutely! don't need anything new! there can't be better than this anyway.. and you forgot to mention Davies's voice and intonations.. I like it , he's really a HUGE singer for me, plus composer of course..

[@johnrowland3105]

Really didn't like this track for a long time. I think the whole album has something of a '1984 Orwell' feel to it. But as time has gone on, i've come to see it as an amazing piece of work ! Real ideas in the visuals enhancing the quite complex musical arrangements. Top stuff !

[@govetter]

Top Stuff! 💯

[@marcellusdelemos736]

Supertramp is pure magic. Magic that makes me cry, makes my chest burst with love.

[@klausgroi]

Rick Davies was just as brilliant as Roger Hodgson. It's really a pity that most fans don't realise Supertramp was a group, not Roger's backing band. And let's not forget Helliwell's, Siebenberg's and Thomson's great contributions to the band's sound.

[@ingebvander]

Rodger Hogdson has lost his mind, sadly! The music was so good. He probably would have made more money by leaving supertramp music free on youtube. Now it is hard to find and young [paying] people won't find it [or will find it less attractive as I do] Supertramp was best with Roger AND Rick. Stupid Roger. It is also sad. I love supertramp how it was. But I bought the cd-s already, young people won't. Oh Roger, why did you make this mistake?

[@TheRunner75]

This is a Supertranp decent song but the magic of the peak years ("Crime of the Century"...) is definitely gone.

[@shutterbug0410]

Crime of the Century was light years ahead of it's time....My Favorite Tramp album

[@spindrifter2]

Absolutely! Production wise and live on stage was amazing! Seen Supertramp in Sydney & London and Roger Hodgson in Mexico City. They were light years ahead in the sounds they created!

Countless hours of musical pleasure Supertramp has given me, yet this one somehow got by me!!! Very serious subject matter which they were never afraid to confront head on 💯💥

[@luisoswaldosierraparada8109]

Que buena canción la verdad es un clásico.. Esa combinación de piano, trompetas, saxofón, increíble músicos de verdad

[@ricknelson4764]

These are the good old days as we quickly forget the pain, sorrow and fear that we currently live with. If I dig deep enough I can remember what the 1980's were really like but on the surface and the way I choose to remember, that time of my life will always seem to be something just short of magical.

[@supindersingh5514]

Wouldn’t it be so beautiful & amazing if they all got back , even for a short while .. That would be better days to come !

[@lastat06513]

I had loved supertramp since "the logical song" came out when I young. And I loved "its raining again", Supertramp were one of the pioneers of the early video era. A few years ago, I found this gem and fell in love with it. Supertramp is one of the best bands of their era, up there with Pink Floyd and Allen Parson's Project.

I think this song is one of their best ,very rich lyric and still very relevance even for today! "No war, no inflation No more desperation You'll see we can show you Better days, better days"

[@cmtvable1]

Most Supertramp fans think that they were never the same when Rodger left, but this song sort of proves otherwise. I mean it's a really catchy 80s song if you actually listen to it.

[@Infamousuk]

Weird that supertramp don't get more recognition .. they were very consistent with the quality, catchy memorable songs. The logic song .. that's what people remember them for and not even their version haha and they're so much more!

Peccato solo che non siano più riusciti a fare un disco con tutta la Band al completo per le assurde pretese di Roger. Rick Davies da un anno combatte contro il cancro...speriamo tutto si metta a posto. Brano grandioso e assolutamente attuale...per le tematiche affrontate!

This album IS a masterpiece!!, no doubt! R Davies is a genius, don't need Hodgson to make something good, even though hodgson was another one of course!! I don't understand people claiming that Supertramp wasn't anything after the split.. it was not the same band for sure but on THIS one at least, it was a GENIUS band.. I must admit what they did after was inferior, but THIS... one of the TOP 5 best rock albums for me.. and this song.. ( but with "no in between, just before of course, like it was on the album) AWSOME, INCREDIBLE, one of the best songs ever.. his singing is so strong and meaningful!!
