#19 Take the Long Way Home

Bang up to date again. From Supertramp's biggest commercial success Breakfast in America, which produced two other huge singles. This is an atmosphere song - not deep like Mintie's last one. More a song to play in the car, a soundtrack for a tiring day when things aren't so good.

Mind you, I ought to add, that avoiding issues doesn't help in the long-term - just that 5 minutes driving to Supertramp probably won't hurt!

I think aligning this song with driving home after a long day is very sharp - it does have that semi-languid feel to it.

As for the album, I think there are some cracking tracks on it, although the falsetto sometimes grates a little (thinking particularly Gone Hollywood).
