The Most Amazing Interview with Roger Hodgson Part 2

This wonderful interview continues with Cofounder of Supertramp Roger Hodgson. Roger describes his magical process of song writing.
Roger began writing songs at the age of 12 and performed his first concert of original songs at the age of 13. He later recorded some of his songs with Supertramp and many of them have become the soundtrack of our lives. Although Roger and Supertramp's other co-founder, Rick Davies, shared writing credit, they actually wrote and composed separately with each singing their own songs. Every song Roger performs in concert was written and composed by him.

Rodger brings you into the light with his music and his wonderful heart!!

[@cynthiashelton826]

What I noticed about Roger Hodgson performing with Supertramp was how his light shined through playing the guitar, singing one of his songs, playing the keyboard or the piano. When he did shine his light it felt so good in comparison to the other performers. There were times like in Paris where the group performed better as a group. It was obvious in other videos where the group had issues in other places.

[@enoboye]

Were we to have more 'real' artists like this lovely man - well, the world surely would be a better place. I love this man so much. God Bless you, Roger.

[@eriktresler4290]

Roger has always been my musical idol and hero . Not only his spirit, but also his music is a gift to humanity .

[@rivertaylor838]

Roger certainly has a special light about him! I'm very thankful for his music. I've gone through and experienced a lot of unbelievable things while growing up and a countless number of times his music has been a helping hand, comforting friend, a light of hope. His music is timeless, crosses all boundaries and barriers and touches so many hearts.

[@carollechubey2095]

What an incredible story he's been through alot.Roger is a very rare beautiful human being,musician.Thank you for sharing this wonderful interview and your music.I love him!

[@paulmatthews464]

Hello my name is Paul Matthews. I just read your comments and I feel the same regarding Supertramp I'm 48yrs old now and have listened to them since I was a young teenager. And over the years every time I hear Supertramp it touches me very deeply. And after seeing this interview with Roger Hodgson talking about an awakening or Spiritual re birth, Io can relate to this so much. I love the phrase he uses 'Spiritual compass' . God bless. Paul

[@marcoandrebriones]

Roger is a musical genius and a blessed spirit. May God give him a very long and happy life! Thanks for all the music!

[@lavas47]

Roger your songwriting is definitely from the heart. I'm flying high for days after one of your concerts every song has so much meaning and so many memory. Great interview.

[@barbararichardson8584]

Roger - An inspiration to all. such a deep caring soul that energises to everyone around him. Truly amazing!!

[@Candyflyfish]

Roger's story is the story of our lives. It's amazing to see how began at age 12 years to compose his songs, casually, that was my age when I met and joined their music, and their songs began to have great significance in training of my person.

[@marianne1555]

I wish it wouldn't end. Listening to his songs still now gives me goosebumps.

[@shuttle461]

I've always like the band's songs but never was I amazed better tan when listening to these interviews. This guy is brilliant spiritually!

[@davidrosato864]

I enjoyed both parts of the interview. Roger is such an enjoyable, modest and spiritual person. You can see how much he loves his calling in life and his appreciation of the gifts he has in bringing music to people. I waited for the lady to ask him about a possible reunion with Supertramp and it sounded like the band didn't have any interest in the idea. If it does not happen, so be it. Roger's songs will always be magical and special to me. Thanks for the music Roger!

[@rbubbaray]

Such a great and magical person, super tramp was to me the most mythical band ever.

[@christownsend7146]

My 'compass ' in my life has been Roger's music !! His songs are so meaningful and reading all the comments he's helped so many others to find their way.

[@avrilshorkend7020]

Since my teenager daughter and her musical peers have discovered the magic of Supertramp this year, I have been nostalgically swept away once more, soul nourishment for any century!

[@robertgieseler1220]

Good for you and your daughter.

[@mattmccorm]

Who has ever summarized the abstract concept of "inspiration" more succinctly than Roger did here?.... that's actually going to help me write my next song....

[@coolrosco1]

Wow, what an amazing entertainer. Sounds like he is one of the few that really has things together. Thanks to him and all the fans including myself. It is amazing how is music has so much power and does not end.

[@pmls72]

very nice interview, deep and marvellous! thanks Roger for your songs and spirit!

[@Querent2000]

The man has a towering talent and a beautiful soul.

[@KurtWitowski]

I’ll never forget when I first heard Roger’s guitar work on I’m Not Afraid. I totally freaked out because that was the first time I heard someone play and thought “That sounds like me!” Now that I’ve heard him talk, I realize he thinks like me too. It’s given me a sense of validation from someone I’ve never even met. Forget the thousands of people cheering, it’s a musician you admire giving an honest complement that does it for me.

[@teton2401]

I couldn't stop at part 1 - wow this is just amazing, rightly named. Roger you truly are an artist. I feel a deep connection in your music and it's so exciting to experience this at your concerts with thousands of other fans at the same time.

[@gtwhome]

Spectacularly beautiful music from a genuinely beautiful heart.

[@kunstspione]

Listening to Roger singing his beautiful songs live underlines what he explains here .. his music comes from a deep place inside him :))) Wonderful !

[@joanneleadley5266]

I am so inspired by Rogers journey and how he follows his deep intuition. . I see him as a man who has experienced alot of deep pain etc but has always been enabled to overcome so much in his life . I think its his ability to be real and sincere through his songs and interview that touches me the most. All i can say is " Thankyou for being you and sharing your heart

[@Sanctified57]

Supertramp was blessed with the different yet complementary very talented musicians. Roger Hodgson has am artistic, wonderfully poetic, melodic, sometimes lyrically sad and melancholic gift. Rick Davies is a technicality accomplished musician, with deep and meaningful lyrics to his songs. Both wonderful talents with Roger stylistic and charismatic, and Rick, more rock and roll, bluesy approach. Brilliant combination yet sadly their split is our loss. I always felt Roger expressed the supertramp style, and for me he seems to have more successfully carried the musical essence of their message, despite Rick retaining the group’s naming rights.

[@wendileona]

An inspiration for all musicians.

[@lisadoxrude131]

A composers muse...... To hear where Roger's music comes from.........

[@soak1709]

Toujours un grand plaisir de l'écouter parler avec beaucoup de sincérité et de pudeur de sa propre vie...des moments rares...

[@mattmccorm]

Who has ever summarized the abstract concept of "inspiration" more succinctly than Roger did here.... that's actually going to help me write my next song....

[@abathens]

Did you write it yet?

[@helenarcarvalho]

This is very interesting!!! He's amazing!!!

Such a beautiful spirit --- so real --- a terrific example for humanity -- humble, honest, connected -- thank you for posting

[@RosieDish]

Fantastic interview! Thanks for being the generous, loving man that you are, Roger. I can't wait to see him again. Roger's shows are so memorable, so engaging, and so fully entertaining, more so than almost any artist I've ever seen.

[@englishoak69]

Wonderful chat and a superb interviewer getting the very most out of listening to a real caring and musical genius..you could just feel the relaxed enjoyment, honesty and respect there..

[@ainewebster2680]

Loved part 1 of the interview but pt. 2 is wonderful too! Love hearing from Roger how his songs came to be & completely ecstatic he's still touring and playing his songs from his heart, clearly you can see he really does love it:))

[@roseolson2680]

Love this man and his music. Roger was a joy to meet in person and to talk to. I will always remember it as it happened in Edmonton - during K-days. I enjoyed his antique (white with amazing designs) Grandma organ he brought over from England, to enjoy playing with among so many other awesome instruments he played, like the electric drums. Thanks Roger for touching my heart and soul with your music.

[@onepathmypath2935]

Inspiring.

[@abathens]

Yes it is. I've heard Supertramp all my life, but this is the first interview I've watched.

[@gurgisjones1120]

Very great to see this. He has a lot of wisdom to reflect and share. I've listened to him over the years, not intensely, but now have a new respect and appreciation for him. Watching him, reminds me of interviews with Peter Gabriel.

[@user-xj9pz9tu6c]

Roger you are an insperstion please rerurn to Israel you are a pure gifted soul.

[@careucabe]

hermosisimo ser...beautiful being...Roger Hodgson has always seemed to me as a mystical profet.

[@claudedupras2492]

[@1silvervespa]

Frank Zappa said how mental health was most important . That is what Roger has taken care to maintain . Good mental health .

[@MusicbyBenjamin]

@jembozzo Roger is truly an individual with a heart for music and God.

[@1silvervespa]

It was funny to be at a concert and hearing someone yell out a song Roger had not written ... I said to my brother yup he is not going to sing that .... My brother was like seriously I said he only does his songs he wrote . Just it was out of my mouth Roger said it too . My brother was like wow .

[@alancoop7419]

The very first Supertramp album titled ''Supertramp'' has a life of its own! Like there is something in those songs that has a life as Melancholy as the album cover of that face on the flower suggest, ljke put on a pair of headphones and stare at the cover Do you see the ghost?

[@christele9095]

See your soul

[@christele9095]

Come to Lyon

[@AdeleD1]

I believe that. I believe that GOD is giving the words to songs and poetry. Because I write poetry and I know it comes from very deep within me. It's all GOD. He gives the words that emotions can't.

[@brucekremer6069]

Amen.. What a blessing to our lives..

[@1silvervespa]

Sure glad you proved that Doctor wrong .

[@smokiebird06]

Sadly, not Las Vegas.

[@MuckoMan]

How did he lose his Brittish accent?

[@josephludwig1126]

You can try and practice a live time but never be Roger was
