Crisis? What Crisis?, 1975

Written by Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson

Rick Davies, founder and vocalist of Supertramp, died four days ago, and I guess I missed it,  While I only knew the songs they played on radio, I did enjoy them a lot, so it doesn't feel like saying goodbye to a stranger.  I think it's only logical to pick a song that gives a little bit of joy to remind us of all Davies' talents.  On this track, after over thirty seconds of ambient noise, a car horn, and idle whistling, the song begins.  Over raga-influenced synths and guitar, Davies softly croons a brief but beautiful song extolling listeners to be confident, grab life while they can ("And if we had the time / The time's so hard to find"), and take charge of their own destiny ("You are your own superstar / And only you can shape the movie that you make").
