Hide in Your Shell singer Roger Hodgson

[pilotwouter]

I miss the old days.. 20 years before I was born

[abidin61]

He is still awesome.

God Bless You Roger!

[riddler19999]

fantastic songwriter. up there with the best.

[lyonslaforet]

A terrific song!

[madisonmosman]

one of my favourite songs of all time

[harrymodo2]

Hodgson/Davis is like Lennon/McCartney - at least for me :)

[wapuka]

ahhhhh, my days in PARIS, 1979, Supertramp.....!!!!! bravo!

[MrJoaoLOS]

6 dislikes?!! How can this even have ONE SINGLE dislike?! Heartless beings...

[janmacleodtrotter]

FANTASTIC track - a real favourite. It takes me back to an overland bus trip to Kathmandu that I did in 1976. The tape (remember those lol?) was being played so much, the driver rationed us listening to it! Great music, great days.

[jibski00]

AMEN! There's the terrific classic rock stuff from the 70's & 80's- then there's the CRAP pretending to be MUSIC -GOD help us!

[ahmedcr1990]

amazing

[MegaLennie1]

awsome,what else needs to to be said ,we all grow with his voice.

[Jjjj2828]

One of the best lyrics citing personal mental health issues ever!!! Wow! These words have always been important but never so much as now in this world where people are being prompted to come 'out of their shells' and carry on and live their lives as best as they can. Thank you Roger

[azdodgers32]

I saw them in concert in 1979 and it was one of the best concerts ever. This song is so good and brings back so many memories you can't imagine.

[jpa963]

Xq estan tan lejos los 2?

[1Sparklecat2]

Love, Love, Love this song and love love love Roger! Listening to Supertramp takes me to my happy place - I want to go back!

[blica1]

great vocalist ,musician , composer, and brilliant arranger..he could've done without the new age -ish / zoro-ish white shirt, but other than that..simply brilliant !

[Simplelef]

My favorite of Supertramp =)

[Annie2220]

@laughing4younce A Loser? Really? Hardly...He wrote the BEST songs as far as I'm concerned...and his voice IS the voice of Supertramp...period. I.M.H.O of course...why are you even here if he's such a loser artist?

[Annie2220]

@laughing4younce When I listen to HIS songs...I couldn't care less if the rest of the group is there.

[Annie2220]

@authentic43 The single cure for pain...I agree :)

[MrDeboeuf]

.............ce groupe et ces chansons ne vieilleront jamais......gravé à vie !!!!!

[polescot]

Jim, Don't feel alone, this is just brilliant. Imagine someone showing you this when you were 13 yrs old !!!!!

[bjohnson55555]

You can tell by the way he performs this song that it's one of his proudest compositions.

[smokinbirds]

@Laughing4younce:

Actually, he had wanted to to tour with Rick in the 'it was the best of times' tour, but Rick declined the offer, because he already had Mark Hart as the second singer and was content with that. Also, don't forget that Roger and Roger both wrote a fair share of the songs of their band and it's all in their rights to perform those. Of course you only state an opinion, but I'd advice to you to see it through other glasses again, see if that changes your rather harsh opinion...

[2rockergurl]

my all time fAVORITE S.T. TUNE

[37valpal]

I absolutely love this song and your singing.  What a great life we all have. Memories are precious. This is one of my best. I sang this song a million times. I feel the vibration in my body when this plays. Absolutely Awesome. A memorable time in my life and millions more.

[delichichg]

@37valpal memories are all we have

[yvoul]

[berniefields]

I applaud you.Thank you for this .I spent a lot time with song when I was young. Still makes me feel

[WhoWatchesVideos]

240p, you never cease to bring poor audio quality. Oh well, I'll live through..

[troywkling]

a great example that the simplest music can be the best

[Cheessa]

I never get tired of this song. Might be their best song. I love it so much.

[sunonthewindow]

Everyone gather round! If you have a facebook, which everyone on youtube surely does, go to this page. 'We want the Supertramp DVD "Paris 1979" to be released for the 70-10 Tour' and LIKE IT!

[haroos]

their best song without a doubt.

[stevenchudobiak]

omg. its real music again. lol. ty.

[yvesbde]

excellent, superbe !!

[missmicheleo]

Singing about my life that's all I have to say. Wish it was fun times but it was tough.

[siat11]

I love this man. I love this song. I feel this song.

[PandorasBoks11]

The first vinyl I spent my pocket money on was by Supertramp. This music makes me feel young again.

[MrPope14]

this music is good for everyone,

my grandfather loved this

my father, who's around 50 loves it.

i'm 16 and I love it

GREAT!

[69Dawson69]

ME ,my father and two sisters use to listen to music while mum was at work on saturday mornings , she would hear it from the bus stop after work ,(she didnt get how much fun we had listening to this stuff LOUD ). I would like to thank you bringing back some great memories . cheers smokey

[armlessapple]

Excellent show in the Albert Hall this week

[paperboy6996]

Yes the Crime lp has a special spot in my heart I got married at 18 my wife was 25 and she turned me on to this lp we sat up late at night smoking pot and just getting into this cerebal music

[f1td]

he played this last night at the Royal Albert Hall in London, he put on a cracking show for 2 1/2 hours :-)



[troutslayer52101]

What a nice rendition! Sounds so much better since he went SOLO!!!!

[jewell0777]

Hey you are never too old to take a trip down memory lane and listen to youtube!! I graduated in 1976 and I Love it!! Roger Hodgson has always been an amazing performer and always will be!! :) My now young adult kids enjoy a lot of the old classics...

[notapix]

el xe on xenio.

Supertram, muxica sana.

sałudi da la Serenisima Repiovega de Venesia.

[thesunreport]

when you open a youtube account, this song should be in your favourites as a default setting....... : )

[FrDidde]

for me roger and co is my higher power, they push me up when im down and nobody to turn to. They saved my life many times. and im am not a nutcase, just a big fan

[retaoposta]

Gênio da música e da simplicidade. Santa Catarina - Brasil.

[cewing2301]

this IS the best tune by supertramp by far!!!! man..listened to it over n over n over!! awesome!!

[viviana0770]

e s p e c t a c u l a r

[Bertiemarmite1]

Just LOVE the toons, from the memories of my happy past until my huuby died at 55 last year. We loved all of your stuff !! Bless you Rodger !!! xxx

[damboy0156]

I remember seeing them live in Sydney at the Hordern Pavillion in 1974 or 75 and they were fantastic - their live show sounded just like the recorded version. Still to this day I regard it as the best live concert I have ever seen.

[l2string]

This is one of "self help" songs that lift you up and make you feel everything will be alright.

[tdcroix]

Hodgson is a new wave genius.

[tdcroix]

hodgson is a new wave genius.

[tdcroix]

Breakfast in America sort of sucked. Not the best of efforts. Crime of the Century and Crisis? What Crisis was their finest hour. I saw them live in Montreal 3 times. They would change instruments mid song... each one could play the others instrument perfectly without loosing a beat. Never saw anything like it and probably never will again one of the most under rated groups of that era IMO.

[MrSciFiGuy1]

I bought the concert DVD, based on seeing this video, thanks for sharing. (See? video "piracy" is resulting in direct sales!)

[relayer07]

right there with you Jim and mk !!!! long live the days of those great bands and vinyl :)

gotta go take another nap now !! lol peace from a Yes ,Moodies guy

[Lovelyturtle84]

Les mots me manquent pour dire ce que je ressens en écoutant cette chanson....whaow!.... J'adore!

[2255zara]

Very beautiful...thanks ! :)

[mkeulr]

This song is such a blast from the past....I don't know whether to laugh and smile or cry...I miss the old days so bad. I feel like a dinosaur in this day and age.

[jeffscharpf]

@mkeulr I agree :)

[Philc103]

Lol @ the lady at 0:56

[Danielespa70]

Supertramp, SIN ROGER HOSGSON fue y será como un día sin LUZ. -imprescindible, su voz y su sensibilidad

[TonyB0505]

one of the most spiritual songs ever written by man, imo. Just an incredible song. In the 70's, this was all in all my favorite album.

[martinjmcnamara]

WOW!! WHAT A VOICE. . .STILL!! THE MOST UNDER-RATED GUY IN MUSIC AND A MEMBER OF THE MOST UNDER-RATED GROUP OF ALL TIME. PURE COMPOSING. THOUGHTFUL LYRICS. GENIUS ARRANGEMENTS. I ALWAYS FELT THEY COULD HAVE USED MORE GUITAR IN THEIR SONGS. THE REAL CRIME OF THE CENTURY IS THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS GUY.

[awaitthegroom]

My lucky brother in law met Roger two days ago- he said it was a reat concert in Vancouver. He sent me a picture of him with him on facebook just to annoy me!!

[TheIridescentpearlz]

OMG, I am in tears listening this masterpiece...Roger you rock!! Can't wait to see you again, love you forever...

[BeffMusic]

@Jim382 , right behind you (without that God-part) - model 1962, - youth do, included my grandchildren.

[solution71]

Rien n'est plus beau que cette oeuvre magistrale de Roger

[solution71]

Rien n'est plus beau que cette oeuvre magistrale de Roger

[smdorset]

great musician and songwriter - got my ticket for royal albert hall in may

[Popples47]

I am 51 and have been listening to Roger / Supertramp since 1977.... he is my all time favorite and am so excited to be going to his concert at the end of the month....

[likablelad]

This was my favourite song of all time, since it came out on the brilliant Crime of the Century album.....and it still is in my top ten fav. songs.

[aprilbaby1960]

amazing brings me back to my youth seeing them live

[Pickininvt]

To the 4 people who disliked this video.....why do you hold yourself down? Can you hear me, can you hear me, can you hear me? I want to know.

[hehnr]

"Crime of the Century": one of the greatest albums ever.

[Kafrifelle]

It is amazing to see him sing even better than he use to sing this song more than 30 years ago ... He is a truly amazing artist. Thanks for the memories ...

[kimchappers]

@jim382: like you, I'm 52 but from England ... still have my Supertramp albums, :-( though not on vinyl but tape & now also CD ... this music is timeless ... our loss of Roger Hodgson is your gain, more's the pity, but he was always more appreciated on your side of the pond by the majority ... but there are still die-hard Supertramp fans here :-D))))) ...

[myshadow04]

@kimchappers

I am 45 and still know the lyrics by heart. That was my favourite song for a long long time.....

[monniewoooood]

one of the top 5 songs ever !

[solidgold9]

the most under appreciated voice and talent in rock history

[solidgold9]

the most under appreciated voice and talent in rock history

[sunonthewindow]

These lyrics are the very inner meaning of what it means to be human

[jaxwells1]

love this as much now as i did when it first came out, beautiful song, sheer genius, love you Roger x

[jimisdreaming]

this song will hold the dearest place in my heart! i found them in 1975 in germany!

[Jim382]

I am so glad to see all the comments..I'm 52 and still have Supertramp (and Renaissance, Kansas, Alan Parsons Project) on vinyl since my college days in the late 70's (God, I must be old to be posting on YouTube!) Thank you for bringing back the memories and letting me realize that the music has not left us....and the youth can still discover it!

[vanhenry71]

@Jim382 LOL no I have those and this album when I was a kid in the 70's! This is nice to see!

[marcysensei]

@Jim382 Talent doesn't age, nor does taste (✿◠‿◠).

I was too young at the time to buy the vinyls, but I'd run to the FM radio to listen to these songs.

Great we can enjoy it now and here! Thank @bradrndavis

[upstart1234ify]

Damn! He sounds good live!

[wardiemusic]

I love the part of this song near the end where it kicks in with "i wanna know" and "hold yerself down" etc "theres a place i know the way to" amazing. im 25 and love this song. lyrical genius

[nicolesmith70]

becky me too! the lyrics are amazing. what a song! wish there was an album version on youtube though

[nicolesmith70]

becky me too! the lyrics are amazing. what a song!

[irfrapg]

I ADORE THIS SONG and love this live version......Roger you have no idea how much this song has helped me lately, thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!

[chouzenoux]

bravo

[l2string]

I've always had great respect for a musician who is confident and talented enough to perform solo ( yes I'm aware he's joined by another player here) and fill the song with sound while putting on a peak performance. John Prine is another excellant example, as there are many. That's my 2 cents.

[jdwrockon]

Hiding in my shell, problem with not is it seems to freak my wife out if I peak out.

[Robs300mag]

Ya know, when I was ten years old I remember my sister and brother in law taking me to a Supertramp concert I was ten then , it didn't mean much to me as I was into Kiss and AC/DC and this song Hide in your shell came on and I thought what an odd song.Well now that I'm grown up I look back at this song and can't believe how much this song has helped me through the years, and ya know, I still remember every part of that great concert. Thank you Supertramp and even more thank you Roger Hodgson .

[TONTONKAKI]

Quel regal,,,,,,Roger est grand. J'ai souvenance d'un concert à Paris. En 1980, putain ça rajeuni pas. Alors on devient vieux, mais on aime toujours autant. Thank you Mr HODGSON.

[GurrimReaper]

if i can help you, just let me know.

[frumpify]

This song is pulling me out of a really hard time rather fast.

[Neff122]

@frumpify Did same for me dark times,but this such illuminating song, if you care(forced through illness) to hear,wake up ppl we need you ,*help me help you* *why must we be such dam fools* one love life one us!

[tyrywashere]

ain't you upset ? no ? go your own way then !

[tiotototube]

i miss the all group performance

[blueberry72]

Hodgson. Looks and sounds like Geddy Lee, minus the bass guitar.

[MetalMetallicLover]

great song from great singer. WILL LIVE FOR EVER

[daviniaosgood]

TUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[laggie24]

Goes deep down, even into the hidden part of ya soul ... Beautiful ... So true ... Makes ya stop for min. and think. Roger is indeed a very special individual.

[fabiolagam]

oh my god when i remind i saw him face to face and asked him to sing this song for me i guess sometimes it was a dreammmmmmmmmm

[bigrider2806]

this was lynns song . the world is not a bad place , just thre bastard you had as a father . the world is a better place now he is dead .

[sabien2578]

An aunt used to sing this to me when I was going through a really depressing part of my life.  She knew me better than I did at the time. Thanks Candy :)

[ee45exx]

Wow what an amazing voice.

[tabletopps]

You just don..before you overided all your music

[ballademaker]

awsome song:))

[ManuManu2]

I love you Roger :) All your songs are epic ! Thank you so much.

[TIGASMT]

Amazing Song:)

[6prereq]

Probably the friendliest guy in music!

[MeowMixMadness]

One person doesn't like this..

[Paneeks1960]

WOW! That was really good. He sounded just like he did when I saw him singing this very song at the Boston Music Hall in 1978. How could Supertramp tour without Roger? He was Supertramp!

Paneeks

[lushie]

I'm currently 20 years old, but my parents used to play classic rock when I was a kid and this song really stuck with me my whole life. It has a special place in my heart.

[frumpify]

what a good song!

[paolo65125]

.........che dire? è una canzone bellissima!!!

[ladominoise]

Yes , a genius , his voice and music are coming from .... somewhere else .

[MeowMixMadness]

I've just realised. ALL of my favourite supertramp were by this wonder, wonderful man. Hide in your shell, the logical song, it' raining again, Breakfast in america..

[jabidohunter]

can anyone help me please...im looking for this song but when roger was younger. It was sung live and lots of dancers came on at the end - one of them being the guy who sung lady in red, it was an amazing performance. Please help get it back on youtube!! much love, lee

[brendanbarr]

Hi jabidohunter

I think it was supertramp in munich in 1983 and possibly their last time together - they were joined on stage by a few singers including Chris de Burgh(lady in red guy!)

unfortunately a lot of theses videos are taken off by the record company - maybe someone might post it again

by the way i think the best version Hide in Your Shell is on the live album - Paris defo worth listening too - Roger is at his best

[jabidohunter]

@brendanbarr Thank you my friend. I am sceptical any performance can beat that but I will check it out :D Sore your profile, you are quite a fan! Thanks again buddy

[FlorisXll]

The Best of Music: Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Roger Hodgson, Fredie Murcury, Coldplay.

[Angiet61]

This has been my favourite Supertramp song since I was a teen.... Crime of the Century was new back then...lol. I saw Supertramp in their farewell tour back in the 80's in Toronto at the stadium that then was by the lake. I won't ever forget that concert... it was the BEST! Roger Hodgson has such a friendly face and demeanor... I just wish I could hug him. With songs like this so many people can actually feel that someone understands them.... that is so important! Thanks Roger!

[muktinath]

@Angiet61 tHANKS FOR YOU COMMENT, ROGER IS A KIND OF ANGEL

[kodieat]

amen to that!

[biddlehall1]

I lost my virginity to this song,

[biddlehall1]

You know how every one has "a song" well this is our's. Saw them in 82

[MrMagsn]

Great. I saw and heard him in 2008 in Munich/Philharmonie. GOOSEBUMPS!!!

[Frenchies1967]

Classic ..... sounding even better after all these years

[paolo65125]

Bellissima

[hfield07]

He still has it. Hodgson is amazing and gave some unforgettable music to the world.

[tecaz60]

this is class,loved it all my life.

[msgoody2shoes]

This is my favorite song of all time. I saw Roger live a few months ago and when he pulled this one out I actually teared up, haha. I'm 20 years old and when I moved out on my own a couple of years ago Supertramp and Floyd was all that got me through

[LaRosaMorada]

Beautiful!

[gillyanne10]

Pure music at it's best:)

[CortezInc55]

Where is the video of this song where he is outside, in the daytime.large stadium, him at the piano and has short hair? Where has that version gone?
