Supertramp 'Dreamer'
One of the most interesting parts of Roger Hodgson's early life was his father's departure and the guitar he left behind. Despite his shyness and introverted nature, Roger found solace and comfort in the instrument and spent countless hours teaching himself how to play. As he grew older, Roger's passion for music only intensified, and he began writing his own songs and experimenting with different sounds and styles. Eventually, he formed the band Supertramp with fellow musician Rick Davies, and together they created some of the most memorable and beloved music of the 1970s and beyond. But the guitar that Roger's father left behind remained a constant reminder of his early struggles and the source of his musical inspiration. In this podcast, we'll explore the deeper meaning behind "Dreamer" and how Roger's personal experiences and struggles influenced the song's lyrics and musical composition. Hosted by Ausha.
