    Roger says a lot of really great things here... "success is living from your heart, living for your passion"... "we are here to give, rather than to take", "success is measured in how much that we give." Roger has shared much of himself, his heart and soul through his music and that is why every song is pure magic, able to connect and unite all of us in a very subtle yet significant way.

    Very cool interview - for me while growing up Supertramp was a faceless band so it's great to finally see the guy behind all of the amazing songs. Really if you love Supertramp you love Roger Hodgson, i've discovered at his concerts that he is the music force and spirit of the band. I'm completely awed at how he sounds exactly the same, if not better than the original albums. Top concert experience ever.

    This was a fun listen. I've always identified more with Roger in the group, his songs resonated with me more than the others. I'll never forget my first Supertramp concert with my dad and I saw Roger and his 12-string playing Give a Little Bit, I loved him so much then and even more now! My little boy Brett likes to call Roger 'Mr. Logical' some times :) He is such a sweet heart, he looks up to Roger a great deal - while I was watching this he came up to my screen and said "I want to be like him, mum!" Very big heartfelt thank you, Roger!!

    • @zenpaganwarrior
      @zenpaganwarrior 4 роки тому +1

      And I will never, ever forget as a young boy, 7 years old during the summer of 1979, hearing The Logical Song and it really touching me, catching my ear, and it being played over and over on the radio. But it was hearing Take the Long Way Home in the car with my parents later on that year that made me a Supertramp fan and I said, "I love this song! I want that album this song is on," and my parents showing me how to earn the $6.99 for it by doing chores around the house. Then, they took me down to a dept. store to buy Breakfast in America with my own money! After that, i bought Crime of the Century thinking it was the follow-up, not seeing until some time later that it was from 1974. Anyway, love your story about your son...reminded me of me as a little boy falling in love with Roger's songs and Supertramp. Cheers!

Just like he said I see the happiness and joy of his being when I watch and re watch him perform in the live material I've been lucky enough to find on UA-cam. I would put him right up there with someone like Paul Rodgers. They both have a sparkle in they're eyes when they perform that transcends the music but at the same time makes them the real deal if there really is such a thing.

    Roger Hodgson is truly a class act. I find it very admirable that he would leave a very successful career in its prime to raise a family. After leaving music for 22 years to come back and be able to pick up right where he left off, says a lot about the quality of his music and his musicianship. The old saying goes, "If you love something, set it free, if it comes back to you, it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was" rings true. It certainly has "come back" to him, so to speak, which goes to show that music has always been 'his'. And, thankfully, he LOVES to share his talent with the rest of the world. His love for his craft comes through at every show. I've always loved Roger's music and I always will.

    • @clivegrylls9324

      actually, this was not the case.....and when he left supertramp he said as much.....he wanted as a very gifted song writer and part of one of the best ensemble musicians of their generation......to branch out by himself......in other words he felt trapped......he did not do that.....at least not in a creative sense.....but rather he later answered that he just wanted to escape from the whole music industry and become a dad.....nothing wrong in that......BUT for me......if you take Lennon away from McArtney or Davies away from Hodgson......and then take away the other brilliant band members that collaborated to make the band so innovative.....then you are left with a recipe without having any chance of getting all the ingredients.....

He comes out on stage and the connection is immediately there - everyone is uplifted. You have to experience it, feel it yourself - human language lacks the words to describe it...

I'm 43 now. My grandparents whom still are alive get very emotional when they see me today, playing this band. I cannot express what their music produces in my body, soul, brain.

    to me he is one of the greatest songwriters in modern music, on one level with people like john lennon, david bowie, roger waters or tony banks to me! (that also goes for rick davies, but hodgson somehow touches me deeper and more emotional)

    In my humble 56 years of life, I class I have been blessed with Roger, what a most pleasant, kind, soulful, spiritual, and outstandingly brilliant person he is, I would to love meet him personally and thank him for making me so happy in my life and making me eternally filled with joy. I think Roger is a very very very special man, and special to millions.
