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.RogerHodgsonStore.com

LYRICS: www.rogerhodgson.com/lyrics/ly...
"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. 👌🙏❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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.

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.

I absolutely love "The Logical Song," "From Now On," "Rudy," "Crime Of The Century," Breakfast In America," "Ain't Nobody But Me," "Bloody Well Right," Give A Little Bit," "Take The Long Way Home," "Goodbye Stranger," and "Dreamer." There, that's a dozen great Supertramp tunes. But, "Hide In Your Shell" is especially powerful, brilliantly hitting all the emotions past and present of this listener. Like Roger said, it strikes a chord. It's absolutely one of the best pop/rock songs of all time.

Just realize that his songs were Supertramp productions. Roger and Rick wrote the original songs to this album in 1972. They then spent two years in a house revising and rewriting them to form. Rick wrote 4½ of the songs to Roger's 3½. But the group together worked them to their finished high quality.

My all time favourite song. This song helped me through a challenging alcoholic home life while I was growing up and the death of two of my teenage friends. I saw Roger perform this song live a couple of years ago. It's a beautiful song of human resiliency and connection. I always cry when I hear it. Thank you for this song Roger.

This has been one of my favourite songs since I was bought the Live in Paris album many moons ago, ive sang it out loud in the house in the car, when i was sad, it was very cathartic, my three kids have grown up knowing it, it builds to such a crescendo part way through, its a real goosebump maker, I was lucky enough that my wonderful boyfriend bought me tickets for Christmas to see Rodger perform in Brussels last Sunday, I wasnt sure it would be the same as The Live in Paris, but I couldnt be more wrong, I had goosebumps , tears and I sang my heart out, the performance in brussels was even better, a huge wave of love and respect for a really talented artist who has stood the test of time rippled through the audience, thank you so much and thank you to my wonderful boyfriend for making a dream come true and driving the 800 miles round trip, from England and back, it will go in my memory box as one of the most precious memories in my life.

One of the best songs from one of the greatest albums of all time. Crime of the Century is number three on my all time list of albums (beaten only by Revolver and Wish You Were Here) When Supertramp performed this album for the first time in Portsmouth the audience blew the roof off. They were magnificent

I saw Roger H. with Supertramp in Copenhagen, many years ago. Must have been 17-18 years old. Now i´m 58, and he´s still hitting the same, impossible, notes. Amazing. Wish i could see him with the rest of the guys, but even if Hell sometimes freezes over, it is probably hoping, for too much. I will catch him on his next tour of Europe though. Looking forward to it. Love too you all.

I was one of the only 4 photographers who Photographed them at the Breakfast in America concert at Madison Square Garden in 1979. It was one of my biggest events of my life after just moving to New York just four days before this. And I was the only female to do that, thanks to their amazing Manager, Charlie.I loved them from Crime of the Century in the early 70’s. They were phenomenal always.

I consider myself very privileged to have assisted Roger's Supertramp farewell show of 1983 in Basel, Switzerland. Wonderful show, I will never ever forget it (it also included opening by Cris de Burgh and Joe Cocker at the beginning of his come back). Very happy to see Roger so active nowadays and principally with that expression that lets you feel how much he is enjoying. Since I am living in Brazil now, I will probably not be lucky to have the opportunity to see a live show again, but as some fellows already said, Brazil loves Supertramp and Roger Hodgson.

There just is no bad songs by Roger Hodgson! Every song, if you know the lyrics, just takes over your intelligence and emotions, about 100%. They are all relevant. I had a blood transfusion lately and his The Logical Song helped me so much. I played it endlessly because I didn't know "who I was". I relate easily to many of his songs, they tell how I feel. Thank You Roger!!!!!

@johntechwriter 5 жыл бұрын

Ann Mackinlay Yes, Roger has helped me through some tough times, too. There is something so positive and life affirming about his music, even when the subject of his song is sadness or disappointment. I think his overriding theme, and what has guided his life, is the determination to soldier on, that better times lie ahead.
