  • Emotional

  • Made me cry

  • @DaviesSpectrum me too!

  • You get the feeling that this guy could go on forever!

  • this song hit me so hard when I was a kid.

  • Nice. Even Better than the original.

    Good show Mr Hodgson.

  • I am lucky enough to be going to his show this coming August in MA! This is one of my favorite songs comes along with inspiration, goose bumps, swells of emotion, its just such a good song!

  • I am very touched by this song, it sounded like he was singing right to me as I could really relate to the lyrics, especially the part about: "There must be a thousand voices trying to get through" which, incidentally came on the song just as I typed it. There is no such thing as a coincidence. This song is so beautiful, it will haunt me for a long time. Incidentally, I thought it was a great performance, couldn't detect any cracks in his voice. Thank you Rodger, you made me cry.

  • Haunting and beautiful

  • Simply amazing song

  • " Big fan of Rodger Hodgson, such a great song " ~ 'Neville'

  • i am verry sorry to say it in 2011, it is not, -and that meens that we still have to fight and speak-sing-compose- a hungarian. But still aGreat respect for the artists:

  • Sorry Its not the same as originally performed - his voice is not clear and cracks frequently . One of my favorite songs over the years and he blows it live on stage. Disappointed Now I cant find any studio or good concert version of it on line live or on utube- why is that ?

  • @kevinatlakefork1 Come on, this is a very hard song to sing and will never sound the same as a studio version. This is a man of flesh and blood and he sings it beautifully from the top of his age. "he blows it live on stage"??? How can people say such a thing? Just go listen to the CD and pretend that an artist never grows and never performs again throughout his life...

  • I've always said: Supertramp without Roger, are like Pink Floyd without.. Roger..

    Lord is it mine, from their best album !

  • Song from the movie "Roller Boogie".....

  • The words to this song are timeless.

  • A master peace

  • When I was 20 years old, a friend of mine had a sound system that would blow the doors off Fort Knox. He said..."sit there on the floor in the middle of the room" (we had a few beer), then played this....very loud, without talk, and music was never the same again.

    It was one of the most amazing songs I had ever heard. It seems so many years ago (as it was), but when I hear it played...whenever....I still thank my friend for playing the most incredible SuperTramp song EVER! Thanks Cam!! Cheers!!

  • Simply amazing......simply......amazi­ng

  • A phrase heard everyday in Planned Parenthood.

  • I miss those times! Music isn't the same.

  • @elegantwarrior6 Truer words have not been spoken dear elegantwarrior. I agree with you 100%.

  • @rootietootoo

    .......... and i agree with you!!

  • @elegantwarrior6

    Hey Warrior, you are not the only one who misses those good times. I like to hide in Nostalgiaville from the crap they make today, at least, they knew how to make good music.

  • Too much whine in this voice for me...

  • @Wolfgasm0414 Too much whine?? you are such a knob who knows NOTHING about music.

  • @Wolfgasm0414 A 60 year old man with a reedy tenor singing his heart out isn't good enough. Understood. I'm sure there's plenty of overproduced, voice texturized crap here on youtube to keep you busy. God speed.

  • @Wolfgasm0414 Yeah, why don't you go watch some rapper bitch and moan instead... fucking know nothing asshat!

  • Thank you "ventisale1" for your words...I agree...

  • Awe Yes

  • most beautiful ballade ever

  • caught the show Saturday what a class act!

  • How to stop all wars, Before every governmental meeting or debate. plop in some supertramp.

  • seen him last night at casino rama awesome show as usual

  • Like so much of Roger Hodgson and Supertramp's music... this is breathtakingly beautiful poetry. Hearing it today though, my thoughts are with 15yrold James Hubley, a kind and talented Ottawa, Ontario teen who gave up his fight against depression and bullying and took his own life yesterday. "i never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land, but it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand..." rest in peace James. May your family and friends find solace and comfort in your memory.

  • 2:56...just glorious

  • just great!!!!

  • I love this song! Just wish that Roger would get his head out of his ASS and allow the Supertramp vids. to be posted. SERIOUSLY.. Like HE was THE BAND.... ALL ALONE!.. Whatever.. GET OVER YOURSELF ROG>> ALL played a part..

  • @manysons He was the band..

  • I cry every. single. time. I hear this song. <3

  • @salmalou me too

  • i love this man... so much

  • his voice is quirky melodic and memorable and obviously timeless too - well done!

  • Roger Hodgson's voice in "Lord is it mine" and "Oh Darling" just blow me away.  I can't get enough of this gentleman. I wish there were videos of early Supertramp but he'd prefer not to. Still, "Breakfast in America" is my favorite all time album.

  • I'm absolutely gutted that Supertramp won't tour together.

  • If I could only pick two songs to have on a desert island , I would pick this and John Lennon's "Imagine". The depths of this man's talent and soul never cease to amaze me. Like a modern version of AVE MARIA this song! Love it. Play on Roger, Play on!

  • ¡¡MAESTRO!!

  • I love this song...it is a prayer to God's heart....

  • This is my definite all-time favourite song......man, it just takes me away!!!!!

  • Beautiful song from a Master composer, singer and songwriter. Thank you Roger Hodgson.

  • Awesome song. Thank you very much Roger...

  • Thank you for this, Roger Hodgson!

  • It's also in Child of Vision "We have no reason to fight, cause we both know that we're right"....... If every idiot who wants to start a fight or even worse... start a war, would think of these two lines first

  • you don't have to win, and there's no need to fight....

    a few wise words the world could do with learning. love this song

  • UN SALUDO DESDE GUAYAQUIL ECUADOR, GRACIAS POR TU MUSICA ROGER

  • One of my all time favorite songs. It's pulled me from the brink more than once!

  • One of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened in my entire life! Roger is a real Musician... Thanks for posting

  • alle weiteren Worte übrflüssig....love you Roger

  • I cry everytime I listen to this performance. To say I love it it's to underestimate it. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my <3

  • @irfrapg ditto !!! #1 on God's jukebox !!! HOPE for those in depression too !!!

  • Love love it, there is always a reason for everthing, we just have to understand it..

    Your music is the only thing that takes the pain away. Love you for that.

  • @mariakatarina12 would it be bad if Ii said I would like to hug you? xx

  • Having a tough time right now, but listening to this gives me a lift............

  • @bmg760 I came here for the same reason, this music has brought me a great deal of comfort today, I have never heard this song before or Fool's Overture..that one got me good..I hope you are continuing to feel better..God Bless

  • @bmg760 A hug for you. Can never have too many. Blessings to you.

  • @bmg760 things are never as bad as they seem , the amount of pain or hurt is a direct correllation to the amount of "goodness " within ! the more loving you are, the more you will feel either pain or love - sometimes they meet and there is tears of joy and pain at the same time . i have found these times to be the most profound of my life ! they gave me the strength to " endure " many times - feel the love . good luck for the future .........

  • @bmg760 stand back - take a look at a tiny bead of rain happilly sitting on a leaf after the rain , then slowly place your finger just above it - and watch it jump to you ! real magic ! look for the good things in life ! then the good things will start looking for you . peace ....

  • meravigliosa...

    

  • saudade, muita saudade do Supertramp

  • MY BIGGEST Dream is to hear them live.. they are really the best band ever

  • @FrDidde Roger is on tour this year and quite possibly in 2012....check his website or Facebook official page for the dates!

  • Is that the Jerry Seinfeld "poofy shirt' ? lol... I jest... this song is so personal to me...

  • quand je suis rentré dans ta chambre voila 31 ans tu ecoutait ca et tu pleurait do you remember helene

  • Loved this song for so long, tough times again for me and how this song helps. Thank you Roger, seeing you in May at Royal Albert Hall, will I look a cissy when the tears appear when you sing this.

  • Awesome song by an amazing singer, composer and songwriter Roger Hodgson. Roger thank you for songs that have so much depth. You are a true artist .

  • Great song from a great band.

  • Awesome!

  • This is truly great music.

  • voz unica en el mundo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • I visited Copenhagen this weekend and took part of his concert and i have to say this was absolutely wonderful! He can still hold his tune and the music he delivers can¨t be better!

  • ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥­

  • simply wonderfull!

  • A marvellous piece of music & lyrics!

    Roger is one of the best at both :)

  • Maravilhoso, me levava a outras dimensões na minha juventude.Musica de grande qualidade, eterna, voz iniqualavel, o Roger está ainda melhor. Muito bom, very good...eheh.Sou do Brasil, o Supertramp vendeu muitos discos por aqui, graças a Deus eheh...

  • I was in High school when this song ruled my world!..Actually had the words printed out in a scroll for my wall.

  • My good friend who committed suicide in 2008 loved this tune. Not to take any luster off of it. It is beautiful. Maybe it helped take him away more peacefully than otherwise.

    Thank you Roger for such a tune.

  • Simply an amazing song..saw him last night at the River Rock in Vancouver and met him backstage..a class act and a legend in rock n roll..keep it going Roger!

  • Hoping this is on his play list tonight!

  • Its always one of those difficult times but when you put on this song and all your troubles fade away...

  • I love this song for the feeling and I want to say please ? please we don't need to fight there are so many peoples who really need our help ?? please please can you see this ? lord please help me .. jesus ayudame yo solo quiero ayudar nada mas .? es eso muy duro de entender ? bye .. adios sa yonara

  • in your white robe and long stringy hair. and Helliwell with all his brass lined up in a rack. I will never forget that concert. I've seen just about everybody there is to see and your's was the best. Thanks for coming to America and sharing yourselves with us. Thank you Thank you. God Bless Supertramp.

  • I saw you guys at the Forum in Englewood, Calif. I wore out Breakfast in America before going to your concert not to mention Crime of the Century and Even in the Quietest Moments. Wow what a concert. Your mixing wasn't right for the first couple of songs , you guys left the stage for a couple minutes and when you came back you sounded just like your albums. Lip sync maybe I dont care it sounded awesome and you guys were great. You looked just like Jesus as we know him when you came out on stage.

  • @prmayner LOL I'm on a music forum, and someone had posted the question "Which rock star most resembles Jesus?" I said Roger, and a couple of people agreed with me! I believe he is a very spiritual man; you can tell by his lyrics. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written :)

  • Seen Supertramp back in 79 in Los Angeles man sounds just as good now as back then, got to be in the top 5 of my all time favorite bands. i think i wore out every album. Great Great song.

  • My wife regularly plays this on the piano and I play it on the guitar. A hauntingly beautiful song that really stirs the emotions. Thanks Roger!

  • One of my all time favorites, in the top five for sure!

  • Preciosa, como todo lo que escribe y compone Roger.

  • Maravillosa, 30 años han pasado.......

  • Everbody loves Roger and his music! This performance tells us why!

  • He has such a haunting voice. What talent. Saw Supertramp in Dublin a few years ago. Amazing songs.

  • Awesome

  • the more I listen to this performance the more I love this song and the more I adore this musician.....thank you Roger, can't wait to see you in London next May!!!

  • la mia vita che passa........................

  • We miss you Roger you were a saint!

  • You know I get so weary from this battle in my life

  • love these comments on here they are SO AWESOME full of love and appreciation everyone loves supertramp

  • i want to get the sheet music for this so bad! he is my inspiration for piano he is one of the reasons i play!

    God bless you Roger Hodgson!

  • I heard him say, in concert, that this is his favorite personal song. I agree!

  • roger don't leave the supertramp

    He is the single supertramp....

  • i love this song THANKYOU ROGER HODGSON, GOD BLESS. KEEP WRITING THESE GREAT SONGS!

  • I got Breakfast In America when I was barely 16 (1980) Used to listen to this song over and over, I had only recently discovered that the abuses I suffered were NOT my Fault.. I would hide in the dark wondering and thinking someone understands the confusions of life and hope in a time when my life was a teenage mess, and convinced NO ONE understood.

  • @MrHertzcrew oh my goodness....I hope this album gave you some strength and make you feel that many people actually would understand....I was born in 1979 and despite my father used to listen to this album I only discovered it failry recently. It does help me with the hard and rough patches, especially this song! This live version is even better...xx

  • Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! Roger Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Para #retoxelcerebro

  • This is one of my all time favourite songs. I am going to see Roger live at Casino Rama tonight. I sure hope he plays this song.

  • @Bardie64 He did... and it was awesome... hope he comes back this year

  • I first met Roger in a video store in Nevada City and he was so humble and I was taken back that he was just renting a movie like we all do. Great person to meet for sure.

  • no matter how I`m feeling at the time, this song makes me stop and listen. thank you Rodger

  • Truly a great song of love, peace and hope. Roger puts so much passion and emotion into his voice you can't help but be moved. Beautiful! If you like this listen to 'Downstream' too. Rick Davies on vocals, it's a superbly evocative song and contains possibly the most loving lyric ever written by anyone...'you are the reason I was born'. Makes me think of my daughters each time I hear it. Long live the music!

  • Comment removed

  • This is one of those songs that just moves you. I try to sing this and it just breaks me up. Bless you Roger.....

  • I was born The year this album was released,so I don't know how people lived Roger's songs back then,but today in this time ad place, everytime I watch this video I cry my eyes out. I am a professional violinist and I so wish I could have been part of that orchestra. Gorgeous, gorgeous soul Roger, it shines through many of his songs, but this one beats them all. I am privileged to feel what I feel when I hear this particular performance!

  • This is truly one of my favorite supertramp songs. I can feel the overwhelming sence of peace that rodger must of felt after he wrote this song. It exemplifies

    every emotion the soul can contain all at once. this song takes the mask off the human soul and reveals all that is both horrible and wonderful about humanity.

    If ther is a god and a heaven above us, well Rodger, that song will surely land you into the loving bossom of the heavenly creator.

  • uhm una vez escuché que supertramp se hizo famoso por el dinero de un millonario que los mando a la fama es cierto?

  • Oh to find such beautiful words inside one.

  • Eins der besten Songs auf diesem Planeten

  • This is my favorite song of all time! So beautiful!

  • This is the most beautiful and relaxing songs that I ever heard. I can and have listened to it over and over. "It's Raining Again" is another great song. "Lord is it Mine?" is like ELO's "Can't get it out of my head". You can't listen to these songs just once.

  • Roger Hodgson and he's from my favorite group, Supertramp. Man, what a cool song, and by a top bloke. Good stuff m8. Keep it up and come to AustrAlia. I for 1 will come and see the show.

  • I could lizten te diz one over n over n over n over....... ;)

  • I've seen hundreds of concerts in my 53 years. The most memorable was seeing Roger Hodgson perform last year at the Granada Theater in Sherbrooke, Quebec, which is a 1400 seat theater. BTW....I posted in Roger's Guestbook on his website the night before the show saying how much my wife, daughter and I were looking forward to the show....coming from Vermont. He said hello to his friends from Vermont after his 3rd song. He actually reads his guestbook! Very Cool!

  • @1in1universe... I agree, It is his best!!!

  • ............loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee­... lord is it mine ...and you roger......teresita nº1 in google spain.....

  • so so beautiful!

  • who needs todays chart rubbish,this is were real music is

  • Seems like Sony won a Supertramp-trial against Youtube...brr..

    but Roger never cares: he knows his music is ment to be heard!

    Roger is so genuine and real in what he writes and sings!

    Bernard!

  • I´m shattered to tears......

  • trop merveilleux

  • Junto con- By your side- de Sade...otro de los temas más bonitos del mundo.

  • amazing sound,music with feeling

  • Supertramp toert inderdaad............maar wel zonder roger hodgson.

  • Life-true lyrics on a perfectly matching music of the highest standard.

    Bernard

  • my favorite songs with fool s ouverture and school.....and with orchestra.....it's nirvana for me tonight....thxs for posting it markruku^^

  • Rick and Roger were supreme lyricists. Their words take you away on a journey and bring you back a better person. Check out 'Downstream', it too is fantastic and has possibly THE best, most sincere line ever written...'you are the reason I was born'. Who could not be moved by words of such power? Long live Supertramp!

  • @snowmantic

    That are Roger's lyrics ! Long live Roger Hodgson! He doen't play more with Supertramp!

  • del carajo....una de las mejores canciones jamas grabadas.....este man es como las uvas, entre mas viejo mejor....

  • kenja always loved the positive songs of supertramp, YES, George Harrison, john lennon and all those. spirituality is everywhere. peace is in us. why dont we listen until things have to die? are we blind? peace is so simple. we must share. help us, god.

  • Melhor artista de todos os tempos pra mim...ao lado dele Chico Buarque de Holanda.

  • I like to listen to this song before going bed mostly when i am sad .It makes me fell calm and brings me peace . I love Roger Hodgson.

  • Klasse !!!!! Ik heb Roger gezien in Den Haag in 2009, zulke muziek roert je tot op het bot, ook vanwege de eenvoud. Misschien ooit nog in Supertramp ...........ik hoop het.

  • @designzink

    Je droom is reeds bewaarheid. Supertramp toert weer!

    Luckyyou (and me and the...billion other people)

  • This is one of my favorite songs too. Just brings me to a prayerful place inside and the orchestra makes it feel like the soundtrack to a touching movie scene. I can tell this one came from deep in Roger's soul and it carries his beautiful spiritual heart along with it to the listener.

  • Deeply touching, most beautiful song !!

  • @RogerGangMember I concur 100% with what you said.

  • I love this song, now couple it with an orchestra.......Thank you. This song touches my soul.....

  • I have tickets to see you this Sunday in Trier. Can't wait! Please play this, it's my favorite song - I remember reading that you have said it is your favorite song too.

    You are a true musician and your songs have meaning and depth and have been with me all my life - I feel like I know you. Your voice has always touched a chord deep in my soul and helped me through some pretty difficult time.

    Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

  • this song touches me everytime. He sings it from the bottom of his soul and that's appreciated so deep in me

    Love to hear with my eyes closed

  • I can feel Roger's deep longing for God in the sound of his voice as he sings this song. I am not one to get sentimental but there is much more to Roger than meets the eye and the ear and it all comes through when you get all the other nonsense out of the way and really look at the artist and the man behind the songs. I'm glad to see him not shrouded by all commercialism and hype of the old Supertramp days. It lets his purity really come through to be felt and appreciated.

  • This song is so deep and soulful. Roger thank you for all the ways you have touched my life with your beautiful songs.

  • This is one of my favorite songs thanks for posting this video. Roger is one of the most gifted composers and songwriters of this century. Thanks for the great tour blog and newsletter you really care for your fans.
