Supertramp – Lord is it mine

  General Comment:Unfortunately no, while it might seem Christian it cannot be. Hodgson began turning in a noticeably Hindu direction while working on the album before the one this was released on.

  Song Meaning:No doubt the song has a clear Christian favour to it, as well as 'Even in the Quietest Moments' and a few others. Hodgson is very explicit in his praying attitude, and along with atheist Rick Davies they create the artistic and thematic tension that makes Supertramp so interesting and put it to an end too.
  
  
  The plain way he speaks to the Lord and the peace and calm that comes from the music speak of a spiritual reach that sums up a long search. But it's not peasant or pretentious, just open hearted and honest. And it works.

  General Comment:The song is about the daily struggles in life. The things we see and the things we deal with sometimes put a lotta strain on all of us. Deep down most people just want the simple things and find what they cherish in life and sometimes they ask the question "Oh Lord Is It Mine ?"

  General Comment:I feel hodgerson was very spiritual and Davies an atheist. Maybe a clash of heads too. I'm with Davies though.

    Lol, always amuses me when rock snobs claim that having hit records is "selling out". Hodgson wrote the Logical Song, a perfect radio hit which resonated with millions of people and launched its absolutely classic parent album, Breakfast in America, into the stratosphere. No shame to it.

  My Interpretation:I've always felt that this song was related to some disasterous event. Maybe a lot of people died? He is wondering if it is alright to want to be alone to try to understand what has just happened. He knows that God can comfort everyone that is praying with an answer as to why it happened. I think he expresses a lot of deep feelings that people have about the suffering on this planet. A beautiful song that touches hearts. By the way, there is an answer. I hope Davies and the boys have found it...

  General Comment:This is probably there best song but no comments????Wow. This in my opinion is a song about the last step before giving up. The last gasp. He is to the point of religon but not sure. "There must be a thousand voices trying to get through" are people praying but getting no answers. He wants control but but there must be a higher calling running the show. Davies soft piano really gives this song its greatness.
