Lyrics
We shall go on till the end...
We shall fight on the seas and oceans...
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be...
We shall never surrender!
History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea
Born on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
"Too late," the prophets cry
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky
Called the man a fool, stripped him of his pride
Oh, everyone was laughing up until the day he died
Oh, though the wound went deep
Still he's calling us out of our sleep
My friends, we're not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home
So you tell me that you find it hard to grow
Well I know, I know, I know
And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow
Well I know, I know, I know
(distant choir sings 'Jerusalem' almost inaudibly)
And was the Holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
Dreamer...
Can you hear what I'm saying
Can you see the parts that I'm playing
"Holy man, rocker man, come on, Queenie
Joker Man, Spider Man, blue-eyed Meanie"
So you found your solution
What will be your last contribution?
"Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy?
Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy
Yeah!" - เพลง
This song still makes the hairs on my neck stand on end,even after 45 years. What a masterpiece !
Me too, brother. Me too. I have a great stereo that I bought in the UK in 1980 just to hear Supertramp, and I still listen to this album. The original vinyl is breathtaking. Crank up the volume, turn off the lights and - poof! It's a Time Machine.
@@foobarmaximus3506 Best of. Forever
How wonderful this piano playing is - sends you in a hypnotic state of mind. Thank you for posting
Agree @65 this has always been one in my playlist ..
@@foobarmaximus3506 so jealous~ Ha!💎💜
Totally agree with comments . I don't think most people understand how cool this band really is. I am 58 years old. Such timeless music.
Crimes of the Century. Awesome.
I am 59. I understand how cool it is :-) :-)
I am 64. When l get older losing my hair
@@muriellemathias5882Have you watched the movie "Yesterday"? 😉
I was 25 yrs old when this came out. I love it more now than I did then ☮️
Roger Hodgson is an artistic genius and did not receive the credit he deserved. Why is Supertramp not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame means nothing. Its a made up award, it has nothing to do with Music
Patrick, Hall of Fame or not Supertramp has racked up 525K views in a pretty short amount of time. There are some hall of famers who release on You Tube who take several years to accomplish 525K views. Especially from a 1977 Vintage masterpiece like this. I admire Supertramp's generosity in posting this!
The who’s the what’s the where’s the when’s the why’s of a Rock N Roll Hall of Fame are mysterious. I suspect most of the members of Supertramp don’t really care about that particular mystery.
Really ?? That is indeed a shame
@@John-wq1xz They had to make room for Missy Elliott. 🤷🏻♂️
Music like this will never be forgotten. All you need is a good rocking chair and great headphones.☮️🇨🇦
Fuck that having really good speakers on your porch while you are sitting there having a beer.!!!
no headphones.. everyone must hear this fantastic music!!!
From start to finish this album is gold.
This is better than gold, this music has not price, gold have it.
@@cuchitril1939 You nailed it Sebastian! Lo clavaste Sebastian! 🙂
1000%
Yes!!!!!
It sure is. This is the very first Supertramp I've ever listened to. A classmate used to talk about it and one day she brought for me. The first listening was frustrating for I could not grasp the sound of the band. I felt it was good, but somehow I could not touch it. After new attempts, little by little I felt in love with it. Then another classmate brought their very first album. The band had a different sound and I also loved. Today, I have on vinyl record their albums, from the first released in 1970 to 'Breakfast In America' released in 1979.
Supertramp wrote the soundtrack to that period of my life when I left my teens behind. I still kick back with headphones and relive those days.
has to be played on headphones, over ear plug in ones. The World can go sit in a corner when this album is on
The best song they ever recorded, and ironically most people will never have heard of it, or heard it. A complete masterpiece, mixing moody orchestration and sound effects that I've listened to more times than I can remember.
Magnifique ❤❤
@@joellekorfanty4336
I always thought this translated to 'magnificent'.
My brother had this album. Was listening at age 8.. 1977... I always remember the cover. And definitely this song. Top 5 favs
Yes. Totally agree. In fact i don't think it's on their greatest hits.
Its outstanding good but School is a little better melancholic
Goosebumps!! This isn't a song. It is an EVENT for anyone who was a teenager when this album came out. Takes me back to those uncertain, exciting, full of possibility days. The promise of a future is predicated on Supertramp's tribute to the past. This masterpiece takes my breath away, and it will always do that, no matter how old I get.
As a 16 year old when this was released i can confidently say i grew up in a golden era. Current days resemble the last gasps of an empire, such a pity.
A hymn! Wuv it❤😊
Fantastic comment ! Exactly what it is an event ..!!! and indeed goosebumps at age 74 .. Those were the years, we did not realize they would end
Indeed sir , I am 74 and the goosebumps thrilling..
at 66 this song still inspires me
to look beyond that short horizon
La voix, le piano, les arrangements subtils… l’irruption de Churchill… un chef d’œuvre anglais universel et intemporel.
After Breakfast in America , in 1979 , I was hooked and bought every Supertramp Album I could find....
Makes me cry everytime I listen to it. Reminds me of my Dad. When I first played it as a teenager, Dad said "that's Churchill speaking". He lived in Scotland as a kid and was very much affected by the war. How I miss his stories.
Yes, this song is an observation of man's obsession with war. There is an allusion to Jesus Christ as a peaceful man whose message of love we have forgotten.
I wish Roger Hodgson and the crew got more recognition than they received. They changed my life entirely when I thought no one else could
At that time, seventies , we were overrun by fantastic music , but this band indeed were underrated at the golden age.
The sheer quality, quantity and range of English rock and pop back then is absolutely mind-blowing.
Wow
I don't know why but this song makes me melancholy for the 70s. It's just beautiful.
70's and 80's music can do that if that was the time you where young. Melachony is a bitch. It can sometimes realy hard to deal with.
Melancholic
It is like sitting in my chair at age 74 I go true history..overlooking everything from a place where heavenly echos from the past play in your head and being thankful that I had the privilige to live in the years when this was created.
One of the best albums ever recorded.
I concur
This song is an absolute masterpiece. Makes you feel like time stopped, you've put life to a pause and now you look at humanity and its history from an elevated perspective. What a song!
You are absolutely correct Vasilli, the perspective from 30,000 feet downward! Plug Babaji in and you can look at it from 60,000 feet downward!
Truth!
It's a track not a " song "
80% of their songs put u back into a way better time! A good time! We didn't know back then, but now we do! right!
@@patrickkparrker413 what do you mean?
Every human would benefit from hearing this.
Masterpiece! It belongs to my life! Thank you, Supertramp! ❤️🎼🎶
One of the 100 greatest musical compositions of all time!
I bought this album when it first came out in 77, it was an 8 track version, I use to listen and turn up the volume in my car stereo, I would drift away to another world, simply magnificent! Thank you Supertramp.
...thought it was from the `80's...
@@sonnyeastham Nope, it is the fifth album by Supertramp, released in April 1977
We were blown away ... and still are
No kidding! Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should be a no brainer for this band. Please RRHF do it while they are all alive! They may not play together, but holy cow they deserve a big nod to the gift shop.
Absolument d'accord avec vous
They don't deserve this band. They lost their reputations, long time ago by inducting rappers and pop stars.
They deserve even better!
@@Jeferson1075 what a silly thing to say, music of all types all for anyone who luv's it. lets face it, our parents 'hated' our music! right!
Good Point!!! RRHF get it done while they are alive! For example, John Lord missed out for Deep Purple (making DP wait for 28 years?? *&@%@&^^%&*@). I'm sure many others have had to enter posthumously also. Bloody well right JP!!
I am 68. I loved them when they released crime and crisis only.They weren’t even known in the States but they were big in Quebec and here in Winnipeg.the first time I saw them they just played those 2 albums and walked off.No more material .I have also seen Hodgson solo.Phenomenal.
Having ads pop up in the middle of this song is a f*&$ing crime, pure and simple.
$$$
I AGREE!!!!
Sounds like the Crime of the Century!
I know. I know
There shouldn't be ads; ruinous. If you have Premium TH-cam it's a guarantee, no ads.
Check it out.
in 5 days it'll be 2023 and great songs like this never get old.
I am 15 years old again…what a Great song
2024 I am trasported to my 1979 Eastvan basement suite A lonely 18 year old . Sad music cheered me up. Helped to avert suicide. 65 now. Ocasionaly listen to the past. mixed felings.
I lived in east Vancouver in a sixth floor walk-up from 1987 to 1989 want to join the military. One of my favorite places to hang around with A & B sound and then the railway club for jazz on Saturday afternoons.
2024 anyone
Fark yeah 😊
I'm here. Thankyou for asking
4:26 Saxophone and Bass
I am here 2024
Yes Sir :)
I was born in 87, and this Song, one of many songs I discovered only because of my music-loving father, still manages to scrape off some tears from my eyes. I'm an Aspie, suffering through severe depression, and almost nothing is still able to make me cry, but music is, and THIS music is, and I am thankful for it. So beautiful. Sad that so many of my generation and the following ones will never know about masterpieces like this.
This is an absolute masterpiece
😢😢😢😢😢
This track is a "Dandy" Dominik!!
Born in '71. Through the internet many many people know and WILL know about this masterpiece. Hang in there
All the best, my friend. I was going to search for this as "Supertramp song with traffic noise" but only got as far as "with", when Winston Churchill was autofilled and I knew I had it.
It brought a few tears to my eyes too. Such a masterpiece. So long ago, but seems like yesterday.
The fact that my Dad was in the Battle of the Bulge, does give me goosebumps when listening to this epic song.
The greatest generation
Thankful that your dad made it home to have a family and enjoy life. So many didn't. Lest we forget.
Jeff, my uncle was at Bastogne I'm feelin ya
Likewise. The sacrifices made only makes the goosebumps more intense.
One of the '70s finest bands.
Supertramp the greatest music ever recorded !!!!
They are very, very good but "the greatest music ever recorded" is rather melodramatic. They're not the Beatles...
Je me souviens de nos interminables voyages (Paris-Porto) chaque été en voiture.
Mon père mettait en boucle tous les albums de Supertramp pour supporter le trajet.
Cette chanson restera ma préférée ❤
La même, pour nos départs en vacances dans le sud, depuis Paris !!! La compil Supertramp, Dire Straits...
@@vincentjoly2792 Dire Straits... Pink floyd, les Doors... Des souvenirs que j'essaie tant bien que mal à transmettre à mon fils.
Cette n'est pas un chanson, c'est concerte!
Ça me rappel les trajets vers l'école. Mon père avait une vieille Mini Cooper, un lecteur cassette et c'est ce morceau (et Mangez Moi de Billy ze Kick 😛) qui passaient en boucle, à fond. C'était des moments épique que je n'oublirai jamais.
Superbe chanson éternelle une merveille du rock progressif .comme un groupe français ange réveille.toi et capitaine cœur de miel magnifique
I was just watching a World War II documentary on Netflix. One of the actual images and sounds from the archives was Winston Churchill's speech. I suddenly realized that I remembered this conversation from somewhere. This conversation was in a song I listened to years ago. When I googled it, I found it was a Supertramp song and now here I am. I'm listening to this amazing song that takes me back years ago. On the one hand, I am astonished to discover the mystery of this song after so many years. It turns out that there is a Second World War section in this song that I have listened to many times. A big shock for me. As a little Turkish girl, of course it was impossible for me to understand at that time. When I listen to this song again after 40 years, I feel like I'm traveling back in time. Life is truly full of surprises.
You are one of the few that really get this song. So much like songs by Pink Floyd and others i cannot recall at this time. WWII is still fresh in the minds of many musicians on your side of the Big Waters.
@@halbos7637Thank you:)
I agree with all the comments indicating that Fools' Overture is a masterpiece: to me, this song is at the level of the masters of music (e.g., Beethoven, Mozart, etc.). Way ahead of their time, Supertramp played music that today is unthinkable to hear, especially bringing together a group of egos with such a talent. The same can be said of Pink Floyd, Queen, etc.
Thank you Supertramp for your fabulous and unparalleled contributions to Progressive Rock!
This album .... fucking wow ..... nothing today even comes close to this artistry ......
Supertramp was not cut from the common cloth even then. Piano based and very spiritual, extremely musical, nothing else like this, ever.
This such an amazing composition of music and it was done 40yrs ago...let that sink in..
Like the Beatles, Supertramp have so much emotional depth that you hardly notice how innovative they are. One of the great prog tracks, composed like a classical piece.
I agree - but we have to be careful when mentioning The Beatles on TH-cam. Someone is bound to make pointless, uneducated and musically inept comparisons about how much better Supertramp are, or the Stones are.
What matters is this ... does the music give you the tingles? If so, it's great music. Fool's Overture passes my Tingle Test, with honours
@@AlmostEthical Me too. Same as it did all those years ago when I bought the original album on its release.
Beatless ??? This overrated Boy Group ?? how can you compare them with Supertramp
Without The Beatles there is no Supertramp.
An overrated boy band does not create music like A Day in the Life, Within Without You, I am the Walrus, She's So Heavy, Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, The End Suite, Martha My Dear, Mr Kite, Tomorrow Never Knows, Good Morning Good Morning, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Eleanor Rigby, Revolution 9, Rain, Something, Blue Jay Way ...
45 yrs never loses it's spark.... just a musical masterpiece. my gardening album...
Cheers
Hear hear
I remember laying on my bed playing this song on my record player when I was a teen.
Sooo many memories.❤
Bought a piano in the mid 2000’s just so I could learn to play this song. As mentioned below, Fools Overture is Supertramp’s Stairway to Heaven!❤ The instrumentation just takes you away….😊! A once in a lifetime band ,bravo boys.
I'm 56 now, the last time I listened to this song was the early 80's. I was watching "Darkest Hour" and remembered this song on my 8 track 40 years ago..❤
gives me the chills...very prophetic
..and majestic
Hauntingly beautiful...
One of my favorite songs as a teen. Thanks for being there. You helped me get through much pain.
I agree 100%
Agreed. They played what you felt
Tout simplement magique !
Une œuvre magistrale et d'une modernité absolue.
C'est et cela demeurera une musique intemporelle.
I know, I know, I know how great Supertramp was. I won't call them underrated because they had huge success, but maybe underappreciated.
A true work of art a masterpiece.
Truly....and also haunting as well.
Absolutely
The masterpiece that forges a beacon of hope and inspiration in anyone who can hear. My greatest love.
I remember in high school a guy had this album cover embroidered on the back of his jean jacket very cool,
This song is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes. Tears of joy, so epic.
This is magical.... Je n'ai pas
assez de mots pour dire à quel point c'est beau💫
This masterpiece from Supertramp gives me goosebumps all over my body.
Les années ont passé, mais ça reste un chef d'œuvre impérissable.
Une œuvre de ma jeunesse.
Saw them in 1979 and 1982...Toronto. Great band, great music, what a wonderful time it was.
Me too!
Such a beautiful song! Thank you, Supertramp!
Cheer from Brazil!
I feel blessed to know of this band
Eu era uma jovem apaixonada pelo Supertramp! ❤ com 18 anos, o primeiro salário que recebi do meu primeiro emprego, comprei o LP Fool' Overture (piano na capa). Amo demais essa música e essa banda!❤❤❤
Parabéns pelo ótimo gosto.
Oh how good are these vocals!
I am appreciating the wonderful music hitherto; then Roger comes in with 'History recalls...'
The most expressive voice, with emotion, but not self-indulgent.
SO Cool! SO Good!
They put all their soul in telling a story (no egocentric, narcissistic feelings as in today's music)
Have commented on this song before, this is the greatest rock symphony ever
It's an amazing song,, but Bohemian Rhaspody and Crime of the Century are amazing songs too!
I had this LP when I was a kid, and love prog rock from the 70s. Listening to the CD today I noticed at about 8:24 into the song something I never heard before: a crowd of people singing "Jerusalem" under the wind sound effect (I don't hear it here in youtube). This album never gets old! I love Supertramp.
Still got this album and crime of the century and many others.. played heaps and still like new condition. Might take them with me when I go .🎉❤
You might be able to hear it on here if you wear headphones coz it's there
Perfection. Roger is so gifted.
One of the greatest pieces of music ever recorded. Str8.
Oh Lord
Let me see Supertramp again 2023🇨🇦🙏
Amazing
Remember the W-5 theme song🇨🇦?
A crowning achievement of EPIC proportions.
My all time favorite Supertramp song for sure. Which, is not an easy decision since I absolutely love most of their 1970’s catalog.
I wonder if w5 paid royalties?
A friend's daughter really loves this song when I introduced it and ELO to her. To her credit, she took up music like her parents did and is now a viola player with Vancouver Symphony orchestra.
Obrigado Supertramp, por ter me dado as melhores sensações ao ouvir as músicas de vocês. Só eu sei quantas vezes viajei ouvindo Fool´s Overture.. From Brazil...
Mágico
There songs never get old, only better. One of the greatest bands ever.
SUPERTRAMP music is eternity ... i finally find the travel'time machine with them ...
As a youngster at the time i never gave this record much attention. Just another 70's/80's record. Yeah, we where spoiled in that era. Later in the 2000's i started to appreciate the record much more. Nowadays i just love to listen to the singing in this record. Its absolute breathtaking.
This stunning Band was in no hurry to finish this song. They could have cut it off at 5 minutes or even 7 but the story was not done. They took as long as they needed to finish this Masterpiece easily their best song they ever recorded......it takes you on a journey from start to finish. The song slowly builds then presents the vocal to us.........A entire week in music class could be devoted to dissecting the Fool’s Overture........
Tra le tante bellissime canzoni dei Supertramp questa è una delle mie preferite. La voce di Hodgson è da pelle d'oca..
I am 17 years old and when I was young and ear this music from my dad cars it always give me chills and it Stiller give chill.
What a masterpiece❤
Roger Hodgson is an absolute genius: Hide in your Shell, A Soapbox Opera and this song would be enough to confirm this statement.
Absolutely yes 👍👍👍
Une oeuvre d'art inclassable qui dépasse de loin une simple chanson.
Followed Supertramp from the very beginning....fabulous musicians, incredible Album catalogue from Crime of the Century onwards......
Your old.i saw this at the assembly hall in Champaign IL.1979
It’s Supertramp Saturday here in Listowel Ontario, here’s a favourite of mine from my University days. 🎉
Another Ontario fan!
Toll ich sah sie 1983 in London live unglaublich❤Eben Supertramp
Incroyable Fool’s Overture..magique envoûtante...
Et peut etre "magic" ?
Just got an urge to listen to this after not having heard it for many years, and realised I've never actually heard the studio version!
Esta canción me recuerda a mi padre... Yo tenía alrededor de 11 años cuando él la escuchaba... Me transporta a mi infancia, no tenía conciencia de lo joven que estaba él, en ese entonces... Recuerdos para toda la vida ❤❤
Me pasa exactamente lo mismo. Al escucharla, recuerdo a mi padre. A el le encantaba Supertramp. Grandes recuerdos.
Loved Supertramp since the early 80's......am now 54 and still listen to the same music,this never gets old...music keeps you feeling young inside.....a beautiful song.
Supertramp was my first concert at age 12 in Chicago. When I was 15, I was kicked out of a party because Dave’s mother thought I was a super tramp. Thank you guys for all the beautiful music. Love to all. In my dreams they get back together and we all get to see them one more time. Blessings.
This is one of supertramps finest epics it takes you on this wonderful sonic journey and when its over you want to take the ride again
It might be more than ten years since I heard the last time, but event after all the time, I still rememder every part of it and it's pure gold.
It's a MASTERPIECE ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
One of the greatest songs ever
Great song after all these years.
Agree. Music like this have no expiry date 🍷🍷
The best song of the album. Really magnificent. Next year to Normandië.
80years of D-day.
Beautiful melody. Memories of my graduation from college, running around in the car with this music, to finalize the contracts for the big party...
Gracias papá por enseñarme tanta buena música. Ahora es una forma de recordarte y de recordar los momentos que pasábamos juntos escuchándola.
Such a magnificent song. Goosebump moment. My favorite track of all time...love it ❤
Go for a walk in a dark path and turn this song on and you will experience some of the most surreal feelings ever. Just amazing
This is just brilliant... a masterpice.
Un chef d œuvre qui me file des frissons chaque fois Ue je l écoute simplement magistrale
J ecoutais supertramp en jouant aux echecs et en mangeant un bon morceau de gateau...une fin d adolescence....
O triste é saber que não teremos mais músicas como essa
One of the greatest songs ever written.
Masterpiece.
Saw Supertramp in 1975 at the Free Trade Hall absolutely class, still got the ticket stub. Great era to be alive what with Roxy, Bowie, Queen & Dr. Feel good to name but few had the privilege to see…
