“Take the Long Way Home” is a classic rock song by the British band Supertramp, released in 1979 on their album “Breakfast in America”. The song was written by the band’s lead vocalist and keyboardist, Roger Hodgson.
The song’s upbeat melody is driven by Hodgson’s distinctive piano and keyboard work, and it features a catchy chorus that is instantly recognizable. The lyrics of the song reflect on the idea of feeling lost and searching for one’s place in the world, urging the listener to take the time to appreciate the journey rather than just the destination.
“Take the Long Way Home” was a commercial success for Supertramp, reaching the top 10 in both the UK and US charts. It has since become one of the band’s most popular and enduring songs, and is often cited as a classic example of 1970s rock.
