Give a Little Bit Singer/Songwriter Roger Hodgson of Supertramp, with Orchestra
Музыка
"Give a Little Bit has a wonderful message that makes people light up and I get them to sing with me. It really has a message that is very eternal and is needed even more today than it was when I wrote it when I was 19. The song is very simple but yet very powerful. It's all about reaching out and giving and caring."~Roger Hodgson #givealittlebit
See Roger performing "Give a Little Bit"! You could be in the audience singing along & dancing to favorites that Roger also gave us: Breakfast in America, The Logical Song, Take the Long Way Home, Dreamer, School, It's Raining Again, Fool's Overture & more www.RogerHodgson.com or / rogerhodgson

Roger Hodgson is a visionary. Over 40 years ago he wrote this song for exactly the times we're living in today. What makes this man a legend? His message of love and peace, his courage to say give a little bit, and his creative genius. Roger, co-founder of Supertramp, donated his signature song to help raise funds for Tsunami Relief, Red Cross, UNICEF, World Vision, Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy efforts, and many other worthy causes. Over 35 years after writing this classic, Roger received an award for it being one of the most performed songs in the ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) repertory.
"Give a Little Bit" Written & Composed by Roger Hodgson
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you
There's so much that we need to share
So send a smile and show that you care
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me
See the man with the lonely eyes
Oh, take his hand, you'll be surprised
Mm, take it now
Ooh come along
Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Give a little bit
Oh, give a little bit of your love to me
Oh, give it, give it, give it now
Give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
Now's the time that we need to share
So find yourself, we're on our way back home
Oh, we're goin' back home
Don't you need, don't you need to get back home
Oh, yeah, we're goin' back home
We gotta get a feelin'
Mm, gotta get a feelin'
Mm, get a feelin' right now
Oh, right now
Mm, Come-a come-a come-a come along
We've come a long way
Oh, what a long ride
We've come a long way
Well, can we sing it tonight

The message of "Give a Little Bit" is to light many candles with a single candle, sharing of ourselves, our love and our smiles with others, showing that you care. I saw Roger perform this one with orchestra in Milwaukee and the energy felt in the room was so palpable, the feeling's been with me ever since. I have to say Roger's still got it! Let's do it all over again :D

A Masterpiece from the 70s.
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums. I was about 15 years old, had my first real quality home stereo, and was really into the rock music scene with a zeal! I played this album, "Even In The Quietest Moments" from start to finish maybe more than anyone else ever. This song was always cranked. What a great song!

I hope the Amazon advert inspires some younger people to search out the wonderful music that Supertramp came out with in the 70's and 80's. They were an absolutely brilliant band that were not appreciated as much as they should have been. Roger Hodgson seen here still tours today and his unique voice has held up really well.

So few people would sadly know his name though they would know and love his music and, of course, know the name Supertramp. A musical genius.

Yes, You could use this song for wedding. Imagine: "Now you can kiss the bride". And then the song comes up.
Great message this song shows us. It's so simple but so difficult. The perfect song for solidarity, in fact, Roger has given it for so many humanitary causes, which honours him. And what to say when you can enjoy it in the shows. It's a blast! Everybody stands with a big smile on our faces. How much happiness we can feel. It's perfect to sing along. Many times we feel the need to hug one to each other during this song. Roger usually plays it at the end of the shows, and it's the best way to come back home humming this timeless song, as many others by Roger.

It's just a great shame that Roger and Rick can't hear the message in this song and drop there differences and come together once more to give us a live performance of their unique talent's as first class musicians. What I would give to see that happen!!!...
One of my all-time favorite songs.
The Greatest things not just songs are Simple but most people can't think them up!
Great Roger, Great Supertramp... This song is more important than many things we usually worry about because on its own gives all the strenght and energy that people need.
Whath a wunderfull memories of the 80s, never come back again .
Amazing song! I love so much this singer, supertramp forever!! thanks for sharing!!
I've seen Roger several times and there is nothing better than seeing him with an orchestra. Pure heaven! If you haven't seen Roger live, you need to. And given the opportunity, see him with an orchestra. The best moments are when members of the orchestra let go of their very formal demeanor and start rocking out with a Roger. Check them out in this video! They live him!

With all the pain, suffering & atrocities in the world, this just proves that in music we can all unite in peace, love & happiness.... & be healed, even if just for a short while ☺️🙏🏻❤️
If we all gave a little bit of ourselves for others this world would be a better place!
This guy just stakes out and owns a corner of music. No one else can be so upbeat and infectious, yet so poignant and sorrowful at the same time. It's like “Alone Again, Naturally” and “I Feel Good” got mashed.
beautiful song
Just amazing 🤩 message to us all in theses crazy’s times “give little bit” “ give little bit of love” just so lovely just bit back and listen 👂 too xxx
Just so many MEMORIES...the 70's... The BEST...NEVER been the same since!!!!! Scary how much Roger & Geddy Lee look & sound alike!!!!! Could be twins 😊
Supertramp é uma daquelas bandas que só descobri no final dos anos 90 e foi paixão à primeira vista. Ouvindo nas rádios de flash back. Músicas marcantes como " The logical song", "Give a little bit", "Goodbye Stranger", It's Rainning Again", "Free As A Bird", " Sister Moonshine", "You Win I Lose" são excelentes marcas registradas do Supertramp e estarão sempre na minha memória, duma porrada de metal com harmonia de guitarra, bateria e teclados psicodélicos. Inesquecíveis!!!
Through this Roger’s classic we can notice that Roger's voice is still unique, strong, high, in fact is better than before! Adding to this, the performance of his famous hits are technically better now, technically perfect! Amazing!
Always a favorite way to start the day, playing Give a Little Bit. Timeless, instantly reaches the heart and a reminder of why we're all here.

This song popped up in my playlist just now, what a heart's hymn! it's a smile captured in a song :-) So many songs that Roger Hodgson wrote endlessly inspire and touch so many lives around the world, several generations and all walks of life.
“We’ve come a long way” such a great song…that never gets old. Thank you!!
The universal melody that unites cultures of different countries, ways of thinking, religions. No doubt with this song there are no boundaries. A melody that expresses the best of each of us, the best of humanity, solidarity of people and the positive to help others. All for a better world. Sing this song with Roger and the public at live concerts, watching the happy face and the warm atmosphere live!, Is incredible.

This song was released when I was 16 and has been one of my very favorites over the years. I never tire of it -- beautiful music combined with a powerful message. It's my ringtone.

Roger, PLEASE come back to the Midwest USA, we MISS YOU. Can't wait to hear your inspirational songs again this Spring 2018! We saw you a few times this 2017 and every show was more special than the first! Happy Thanksgiving!
I enlisted in USA when this came out and sent my future wife an album. She loved it..still does!
And "here we go again...." I just love it! :-) This song really has a magical way of bringing everyone together, sharing our life journeys through Roger's music. This feeling here is exactly what is experienced at Roger's concerts, everyone with a smile and feeling uplifted by the concert's end.

I had the priviligie of seing this show in Spain and when Roger appeared and sang this song along with three other (perhaps even less) it was a moment that I never forget in my life. Roger sounds extremely well when he is playing with an orchestra. It is as if his songs were written to perform them like this. But the actual band who is on tour with him is as wonderful as it was Supertramp. Don´t miss the oportunity to see them if you have the chance. You don´t regret this advice.

If we all lived by the credo that Roger is telling us about in this gem of a song the world would undoubtedly be a better place. Hearing this song performed with a symphony orchestra is great; we were lucky to see this in person in 2016 at Casino Rama in Canada, however hearing it sung by Roger with his excellent band is equally stirring. We have been lucky to be able to attend Roger’s shows at least once every year since I became aware of Roger’s touring in 2010 and each show occupies a special place in my heart. If you get the opportunity to see Roger with his band/ symphony orchestra do yourself a favor and go. It will be a night you’ll never forget.
My goodness. This is a human being that was blessed with musician in his blood stream. Some humans are musically inclined and some are not. Has a lot do with DNA makeup of the brain, eyes, voice , hearing , heart.
Timeless chords, lyrics and rhythms last forever
