Like Crisis? What Crisis?, Even in the Quietest Moments is a jumbled affair, alternating between long, unfocused sections and relatively concise pop songs, like the hit "Give a Little Bit."

Stephen Thomas Erlewine - All Music Guide



Der Punk tobte durch die Heimat England, als 1977 das fünfte Supertramp-Album auf den Markt kam. Roger Hodgson, Rick Davies & Co. scherte der frische neue Wind wenig. Als mittlerweile arrivierte Große Rockband produzierten sie im sonnigen Los Angeles und präsentierten ihren Piano-orientierten Pop-Rock auf Even In The Quietest Moments... aufwendiger orchestriert und mit mehr amerikanischem Flair als je zuvor - "Loverboy" und "From Now On" klingen wie für den Broadway geschrieben. Während Stücke wie der spirituelle Titelsong noch episch ausufern und die famose Mini-Oper "Fool's Overture" mit Geräusch- und Sprachsamples sowie vielschichtigem Songaufbau noch das Progressive-Rock-Feld beackert, deutet der zum Mega-Hit bestimmte Dreiminüter "Give A Little Bit" schon in die Zukunft von Breakfast In America, Supertramps kommerziellstem Album von 1979.

Unsterbliche Musik... Genauso wie grosse klassiche Komponisten es geschafft haben ihr Musik unsterblich zu machen ist dies auch der Rockgruppe Supertramp gelungen. Auch nach vielen Jahren schmilzt man noch dahin wenn man diese CD hört. Ich habe mir dieses Album bereits vor mehr als 15 Jahren, damals auf LP gekauft. Leider wurde der Musikgenuss schon bald durch Kratzer und Rauschen getrübt. Bei der CD kommt die abwechslungsreiche Musik ohne jegliches Nebengeräusch rüber. Welche Gruppe hat es verstanden solch abwechsungsreiche und zeitlose Musik zu schreiben ? Nur ganz wenige. Auf dem gleichen Album findet man Ohrwürmer wie Give a little bit, wie auch Rockopern wie Fools Overture. Beim ersten Höhren der Platte sind es vor allem die bekannten Titel wie "Even in the quitest Moment und Give a little bit die einem ins Ohr gehen. Nach mehrmaligem höhren treten diese Songs jedoch in den Hintergrund. Man wird ergriffen von den anspruchvollen Songs von Rick Davis wie Downstream, meinem persönlichen Lieblingsstück von Supertramp und Loverboy. Meiner Meinung nach eine der besten CD's von dieser Band. Wird nur noch übertroffen von Crime of the Century.

Thomas Herbrig aus Schweiz



Gute, ruhige Popmusik ... Supertramp gehört wohl zu den ganz großen Bands der Popgeschichte, deren Musik man auch noch nach über zwei Jahrzehnten anhören kann. "Even in the quietest moments..." gehört zu den ruhigeren Platten, die nicht allzuoft im Radio gespielt werden, was wohl auch daran liegt, daß vier Lieder über sechs Minuten gehen, "Fool's Overture" dauert sogar fast 11 Minuten. Umso besser kann man die Lieder genießen, die an keiner Stelle langweilig oder eintönig werden. Man wirklich den Eindruck, daß Supertramp die Musik nicht nur wegen des Geldes gemacht - ein Eindruck, der sich mir bei vielen neuen Gruppen immer wieder aufdrängt. Die Platte gehört für mich zu den besten Supertramp-Platten, die sie in dieser Besetzung aufgenommen haben - wunderschöne, zeitlose Musik.

GIVE A LITTLE BIT

Ooh, yeah
Alright
Here we go again
Hey, hey, oh, oh
Nah, nah, hey, hey
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you
There's so much that we need to share
So send a smile and show you care

I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me
See the man with the lonely eyes
Take his hand, you'll be surprised

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
Now's the time that we need to share
So find yourself, we're on our way back home

Going home
Don't you need, don't you need to feel at home?
Oh yeah, we gotta sing
...

Come along too
For the long run
Come a long way
Oh, sing it tonight


LOVER BOY

I'll tell you from the start
He's gonna break your heart
You can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy

He's gonna tell you lies
But you won't realize
Because you can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy

He's got a thing in his head
It's from a book he's read
It's got a funny title
It tells you how to be vital
He took a lot of time
Over every line
Because it's guaranteed
To satisfy

The lover boy
- He's gonna knock 'em dead
He treats 'em like a toy
- The boy's got that book read
You can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy

Right from the clothes he wears
The way he combs his hair
You can't stop him now because he knows all the tricks
He used to have a problem but he got it fixed

He took a small apartment
Above a shoe department
And he could see from his window
All the lights in the street glow
There's a club on the corner
And tonight he will go there
To find a new affair
So all you ladies beware

Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah

Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah

He's got to have a good time in the city
He's got to have a good time every night
He's gonna love 'em and leave 'em, cheat and deceive 'em
He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right

He's got to have a good time in the city
He's got to have a good time every night
He's gonna love 'em and leave 'em, cheat and deceive 'em
He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right

He's got to have a good time in the city
He's got to have a good time every night
He's gonna love 'em and leave 'em, cheat and deceive 'em
He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right

Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah

Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah


EVEN IN THE QUIETEST MOMENTS

Even in the quietest moments
I wish I knew
What I had to do
And even though the sun is shining
Well I feel the rain
Here it comes again, dear

And even when you showed me
My heart was out of tune
For there's a shadow of doubt
That's not letting me find you too soon

The music that you gave me
The language of my soul
Oh Lord, I want to be with you
Won't you let me come in from the cold?

Don't you let the sun fade away
Don't you let the sun fade away
Don't you let the sun be leaving
Won't you come to me soon

And even though the stars are listening
And the ocean's deep
I just go to sleep
And then I create the silent movie
You become the star
Is that what you are, dear?

Your whisper tells a secret
Your laughter brings me joy
And a wonder of feeling
I'm Nature's own little boy
But still the tears keep falling
They're raining from the sky
Well there's a lot of me got to go under
Before I get high

Don't you let the sun disappear
Don't you let the sun disappear
Don't you let the sun be leaving
No, you can't be leaving my life
Say that you won't be leaving my life
Say that you won't be leaving my life
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Lord, won't you come and get into my life
Lord, won't you come and get into my life
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Oh Lord, don't go

And even when the song is over
Where have I been
Was it just a dream?
And though your door is always open
Where do I begin
May I please come in, dear?


DOWNSTREAM

Took a boat Sunday, down by the sea
It just felt so nice, you and me
We didn't have a problem or a care
And all around was silence, everywhere

You are the reason I was born
Be with you through all seasons, I'll always hear you when you call
We'll keep the love light shining through each night and day
A lonely life behind me, oh what a change you've made

So down here on the ocean we will stay
Went through a lot of changes
Turned a lot of pages
When I took a boat Sunday

To know you as I know you now, that is all I need
And we will get along somehow, if we both believe

So down here on the ocean we will stay
Went through a lot of changes
Turned a lot of pages
When I took a boat Sunday


BABAJI

All of my life I felt that you were listening
Watching for ways to help me stay in tune
Lord of my dreams
Although confusion keeps trying to deceive
Oh, what is it that makes me believe in you?

Babaji, oh won't you come to me
Won't you help me face the music
Bring it out so we can sing it out
Help us to find it before we lose it
At night when the stars are near
And there's no one to keep you from coming here
And there's no one to shield me before your eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know?

I can see, it's not too good to me
To be afloat in the sea of glory
Oh Babaji, oh how you comfort me
By showing me it's a different story
Your light in the dark is real
And I know that you know it is how I feel
When I see the reflection that's in your eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know?

Babaji, have you a song for me
To tell the world of its guardian angel
Bring it out so we can sing it out
Oh must you always remain a stranger?
At night when the stars are near
And I long for delusion to disappear
Then I see the reflection that's in your eyes
Is it time, Is it time, Is it time, Is it time
Is it time, Is it time, Is it time to know
oh, oh, oh

I said I'm calling you Babaji - Babaji
I said I'm calling you Babaji - Babaji
oh-oh, sing it Bababji - Babaji
Can you hear me Babaji - Babaji
...


FROM NOW ON

Monday has come around again
I'm in the same old place
With the same old faces always watching me
Who knows how long I'll have to stay
Could be a hundred years of sweat and tears
At the rate that I get paid

Sometimes I slowly drift away
From all the dull routine
That's with me every day
A fantasy will come to me

Diamonds are what I really need
Think I'll rob a store, escape the law
And live in Italy
Lately my luck has been so bad
You know the roulette wheel's
A crooked deal, I'm loosing all I had

Soon be like a man that's on the run
And live from day to day
Never needing anyone
Play hide and seek, throughout the week

My life is full of romance

Guess I'll always have to be
Living in a fantasy
That's the way it's got to be
From now on

Guess I'll always have to be
Living in a fantasy
No it won't be really me
From now on

You think I'm crazy I can see
It's you for you, and me for me
Living in a fantasy
From now on

Guess I'll always have to be
Living in a fantasy
That's the way it's got to be
From now on

Guess I'll always have to be
Living in a fantasy
It's you for you, and me for me
From now on

Guess I'll always have to be
Living in a fantasy
That's the way it's got to be
From now on

Guess I'll always have to be
Living in a fantasy
It's you for you, and me for me
From now on

Guess I'll always have to be
Living in a fantasy
That's the way it's got to be
From now on


FOOL'S OVERTURE

We shall go on to 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
Borne 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, striped him of his pride
Everyone was laughing up until the day he died
And 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

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!
