  • Roger's lyrics and composition of his song, Hide in Your Shell, cannot help but touch people on so many levels. Roger sings with such emotion and openness of his heart that it is obvious his songs come from deep within him. It is not uncommon to see audience members in tears because of how deeply they are touched. Don't miss the opportunity to see Roger live in concert. Roger, co-founder of Supertramp, is currently on tour, performing a variety of shows with full band, acoustic, and with orchestras around the world.
    "People often write to me and say that this song in particular strikes a chord in them. Maybe it's because I was going through a difficult time in my life when I wrote it that people are able to relate to it. Our teenage years seem to be difficult ones for many of us, especially if one is sensitive. I know there is a tendency to want to Hide in Your Shell." ~ Roger Hodgson
    Roger not only wrote & composed Hide in Your Shell, he also gave us the great majority of the hits to include Breakfast in America, The Logical Song, Dreamer, Give a Little Bit, Take the Long Way Home, It's Raining Again, School, Fool's Overture & many more. Although Roger and Supertramp's other co-founder shared writing credit, they actually wrote & composed separately with each singing their own respective songs. bit.ly/1Kfgu0W

    'Hide in Your Shell' can be found on Roger's 'Classics Live' album. www.RogerHodgso...

    LYRICS: www.rogerhodgso...
    "I went to my first concert at the age of 44 to see your show. I was so amazed by the experience. I have to say you sound like you did when I was 15 buying your albums. I had goose bumps most of the night. I think you actually care about your guests and we all felt so welcome my friend. Thanks for an experience that will stay with me for the rest of my days."
    "I was a typical teenager being pulled in a hundred different directions. Some of them frightening and lonely. Hide in Your Shell spoke directly to my heart. It told me I wasn't alone and that any good that would come of my life would be a direct result of me summoning up my courage and living true to the values and principals I felt. "I, as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love. How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?" struck me as Shakespeare. 30+ years down the road now. Words to a boy are now a creed for a man."

      Yes most definitely a true genius, I always remember my older brother playing them and from about the age 5)6 I've listened to them although not understanding what most of them where about at that age but,by the age of about 8/9 I started to understand all of their music, plus my brother was also a DJ,so I was very lucky to have had such a genre of music 🎶 but supertramp are one of my all time favourites and I'm 55. 👌🙏❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

      Indeed. They were one of those 'wrecking crew' groups. John Helliwell claimed 'tongue and cheek' that during the ten year layoff of the group from 1987-1997 that he would go back to school to learn how to really play the saxophone.

      Hi Shaun O'Brien, I've been in recovery for 13 years. I just used this song and its lyrics to help a friend getting started trudging the road of happy destiny. I realize it's probably about a love relationship, but like many great songs, the meaning can apply to many things. My experience with Recovery is that it's about learning to face our own fears and realities. Regarding the "cure for pain is love," I think he's saying he THOUGHT as a boy the cure for pain is love, but as a grownup, it's about learning to ask for help dealing with the demons in our closets. But of course I might be wrong, given you have twice the number of years I do!

      Who isn't a genius? Ask any mother of her children and she will brag proudly. Rick was the true anomaly of the group. It is so difficult to hear his piano playing because he was so incredibly and profoundly in step. I am disappointed that musicians from other groups haven't stepped forward to point this out. Rick is /was a great percussionist upon the piano. This is why I know Bob Siebenburg was great. He had to be. Rick's organ playing? He said that he was offered a job as a teenager to play the organ which he never had. So, he faked it.

I am talking about the one who behaves like a fish out of water when interviewed. I'm talking about the one that could care less about the topic of genius. After leaving the group, Roger was never again able to assemble and finish any work to that of a hard edged Supertramp production.

    I first saw Supertramp in 1976 at the age of 16. This song has stayed with me for over 40 years. In my opinion, this is one of the deepest, most profound songs ever written. If this song doesn't touch you, you need to listen to it again while reading the lyrics.
    Monumental.

      Every song is an interpretation od once conquest and struggles, so NO ONE is wrong, having worked with SUPERTRAMP amongst so many bands, I can say that if and when we discussed their songs, their answers would ALWAYS be, "we wrote it with one purpose, and so many times, ours listeners will interpret it in many other way's, that's what makes song writing so fulfilling". So ROCK ON and Here is to years more of recovery. God Bless. Giving Thanks from Canada to the World. AMEN.

Crime of the Century album was playing, and it was this track - walked straight in and bought my first ever LP album... It's still one of my favourites, that was in 1975.....

    Supertramp put out a lot of good music but personally hide your shell it's probably one of their best songs the lyrics have so much meaning behind them and tell you a story that if you've ever had any kind of controversy or just genuine chaos in your life this song puts it in perspective
