Logical Song is one of the most perfect pop songs of all time, it hasn't lost a fibre of substance or soulfulness in all these years

[UnderTheGoldenGate]

The Logical Song pretty much explains all of our problems. When I was kid hearing this brought tears to my eyes because I realized I wasn't crazy and I wasn't alone in all of this.

I always loved Supertramp growing up but never quite realized this man's genius. I do now!

[denispoli]

Hasn't lost a bit of his voice, such a gift.

[cynthiashelton]

That was absolutely precious! Roger said these songs are his babies, his children. Yes! Thank you Roger for your service to humanity. Love how you shine your light!

[deletebilderberg]

Blows my mind how many incredible songwriters hail from a tiny little island in the North Atlantic.

[SpiritDrive]

Roger Hodgson is such a deep guy. I could listen to him speak all day.

POWERFUL STATEMENT, "we are taught how to perform and focus on the outside and we ignore the inside of our lives"

[PAlex-usov]

Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America still remain significant pieces of musical accomplishment.

Pulls out a perfectly tuned 12 string guitar in the woods, magic!

My parents also divorced when I was 11, and I've not seen my dad in about 35 years. He didn't leave me a guitar, but he did leave behind some vinyl, among which was "Breakfast in America", an album I have loved ever since.

[SticksTheJon]

When he sits down at the piano and rattles out his songs like that, it really makes you realise what a class act he is.

[Renserin]

I had no idea Roger was such a deeply spiritual person. It's something I've honestly missed in music since John Denver passed away. So this will give me the best excuse to listen to more of his songs.

[Slarti]

I was sent off to boarding school, in 1978, at the age of 8 for 10 years.
So, as you can imagine, I have always identified with the sentiment in the song.

[Breakbeats.]

That moment you realize that musicians are really just philhopsophers with instruments.

[hobojakobo]

It’s a rare gift to be able to take a complex idea or emotion, and then distill it down into a song that others can hear and be made to feel understand what the artist was trying to convey. Roger has that gift.

[aruvielevenstar]

This song reminds me of my childhood and when I was older and understand the lyrics, I realised it was about my life. My mother screaming I had to be realistic and not a dreamer, that I should learn at school, and not just staring out of the window in my schoolclass. That I had to stop dreaming and fantasising, but be rational and for Gods sake study for a job to earn a living.
My parents were desperate that I never find a job. So I did my best, with ups and lots of downs, learnt to be a nurse, earnt money, got realistic and wasnt feeling happy at all.

Long story short, I couldn’t work anymore as a nurse because of a disease, and finally find my old self again. Now I dance, I sing, I sell my art and feel that that is who I am.

the 70s were so good all that great music

[farrellmcnulty]

I love this song more than I can describe. Breakfast in America is a masterpiece of an album.
