I didnt know, like me in this day .

Beautiful spiritual song 🌼 Wonderful reaction team E 🌺 Enjoy your day 🌷

One of the most beautiful songs ever 💙💙

This song and "Child of Vision are my favorites from 'Breakfast In America" and both had a profound influence on me as a young man growing up in 1979 America... Roger Hodgson wrote this song and like Kerry Livgren & Roger Waters, he wrote most of the lyrics in the band's discography. As a musician, the 1st thing I noticed was the production of the whole album...Blown away perfect at the time and still is in my opinion. ***The reaction and analysis of this song and the whole album is 1st class by both Savio & Kirti. So enjoyable to hear another perspective on a 40+-year-old song/album makes this video a 10 out of 10... Thank You K&S! 😍😍😍

Not quite true....if Hodgson is singing lead, he wrote the lyrics, if Davies sings lead, he wrote the lyrics( although many Davies songs have Hodgson singing counter harmony/ chorus, Goodbye Stranger is an example, as is Rudy from Crime of the Century)

Great song, from a great album. "Child of Vision" has always been my favorite from the album.

Try Oh Darling off this album. Its mine and my sister's favorite on this album.

John Helliwell is such a gifted woodwind player, clarinet, sax, you name it he can play it

Canciones que lamentablemente no vienen mas 😪...masterpiece

Better than any of the singles they released,and ended up as a B-side to the dreadful "Goodbye Stranger" in 1979.It should've been released as a single,and was only released in Ecuador as the A-Side. To me it sounded more like the Ozark Mountain Daredevils than Pink Floyd,as vocalist Roger Hodgson sounds similar to the Ozarks Larry Lee.

We should perhaps be mindful that This album Breakfast in America, while been hugely successful in 1979 was mostly a collection of older songs they had written and never recorded. This seems the opposite way that most bands would do it. In general, I am inclined to think of them as a progressive rock band like Pink Floyd but they were often on the threshold of Pop music. In those moments they were more accessible/relatable than Floyd. Today, Pink Floyd are more recognized and celebrated but back then not everybody liked them. It was easy to tell by the amount of radio play they received(or not). There was an inclination for fans to categorize music. Most fans were either pop people or rock people or even Progressive Rock. Some were all three. Today, we tend to just like the music or not but at the time fans of ABBA would not have liked Floyd. Supertramp had a foot in both camps.

Actually, according to Hodgson, these are not older songs they had written years before. He claims that he and Rick wanted a fresh, fun feel to their next album after having written and recorded mostly serious songs in previous years. Hodgson explained in an interview with Melody Maker "we really wanted to get a feeling of fun and warmth across. I think we felt that we had done three pretty serious albums, and it was about time we showed the lighter side of ourselves".

I think the only older song was Breakfast in America itself... Roger wrote it 8 years earlier. They clearly designed the album to be fun, with Roger playing an old pump organ on many of the songs to give it a circus-like tone to some of the more satirical songs... Some of the songs were about Roger and Ricks's relationship professionally and socially and how wide apart they were on everything, including the naming of the album itself.
