Miss that band
Love this song, but my family looks at me funny when I play it. -_- I'm so alone in my music.
Cool
Always wished that solo at the end would last a little longer.
One of the singular best tunes ever written and performed. In my top 10 from the 70's The entire album is a remarkable gem. I knew both Mary and Jane around this time. What delicious memories. Best wishes sweet ones.

had the look to see them.. your right.. on of a kind........ . . . . . . . . . .
AWSOME AND UNIQUE BAND
Ah ! Being on the road in a band in the 80's . Wish I could go back...

The words "Goodbye stranger, it's been nice. Hope you find your paradise" were used in my graduation ceremony. Even 30 years on, I'm taken back when I hear this song.
This is a great song.

My mom worked for A&M Records years ago and would bring home different records all the time... This was one of them and I've listening to this kind of "Rick&Soul" ever since!
This is one of the single best songs ever. It is part of a remarkable album, Breakfast in America. The guitar work at the end still chills my spine. (And the story does ring very true. But now Mary and Jane can find you again on Facebook.) "Sweet devotion."
Instantly transports me back to 1980. Damn Pandora never bothers to display the YEAR that the album was produced. How hard is that???

my fathers lack of presensce mixed with the the fact that he this on the only road trip we took makes it special. drunkely said.
words that ring true naturally after living some years

Breakfast in America really is their best album, imo.
I didn't realize that this was Supertramp.. . this is the first time I've heard it on Pandora. It sounds a lot different from "Take The Long Way Home" and "The Logical Song."
Great song. Good memories!
This song is Epic

Not very "unknown" they were huge in the '80 and early '90's
supertramp is the best unknown band!!!

I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS SONG SINCE I WAS A KID AND NEVER UNDERSTOOD THESE LYRICS. NOW THAT I'VE READ THE LYRICS AND HEAR THE SONG I REALIZE WHY THIS SONG LANDED IN MY HEART AS A KID, 30 YEARS AGO. SUMPERTRAMP WAS TELLING MY STORY.......
