Supertramp – The Artist
Supertramp were an English rock band formed in London in 1969. Marked by the individual songwriting of founders Roger Hodgson (vocals, keyboards, guitar) and Rick Davies (vocals, keyboards), they are distinguished for blending progressive rock and pop styles and for their use of Wurlitzer electric piano and saxophone. The group’s line-up changed numerous times throughout their career, with Davies the only consistent member. Other longtime members included bassist Dougie Thomson, drummer Bob Siebenberg, and saxophonist John Helliwell. The band were initially a full-fledged prog-rock group, but starting with their third album Crime of the Century (1974), they maintained a more pop-oriented sound. They reached their commercial peak with 1979’s Breakfast in America, which yielded the international top 10 singles “The Logical Song”, “Breakfast in America”, “Goodbye Stranger” and “Take the Long Way Home”. Their other top 40 hits included “Dreamer” (1974), “Give a Little Bit” (1977) and “It’s Raining Again” (1982).
Dreamer – The Song
“Dreamer” is a hit single from Supertramp’s 1974 album Crime of the Century. It was written by Rick Davies and Rodger Hodgson and it peaked at number 13 on the UK singles chart in February 1975. In 1980, it appeared on the band’s live album Paris.
Head in The Clouds – The Shape
This record has been modelled into the silhouette of a man with his head up in a cloud. The expression “He has his head in the clouds” often implies that he’s thinking of something else, he’s not very focused and is dreaming.
