Despite being met with only limited success in the UK, it was a major hit elsewhere, even a Top 20 hit in the United States and Canada, reaching number 15 and 6 respectively. Context and meaningThe song features two voices, representing two protagonists, sung by Rick Davies in the verses and also by Rick Davies in the choruses. It tells a story of the two protagonists leaving each other, and the end of their relationship. During the writing of Breakfast in America, the group's main writers, Davies and Hodgson, had trouble communicating and had several disagreements:[1] {{Quote|text=That didn't mean Breakfast in America was all laughs, however; it was nearly titled Hello Stranger, due to a preponderance of songs about relationships broken by a lack of communication -- a subject Davies and Hodgson knew well, given how poorly they were getting along during the making of the album. Although their songwriting partnership had long been the basis of the band's music, by the time Breakfast got started, they hadn't actually written together in years; as they admitted during a 1977 NME interview, Supertramp existed in a state of delicate detente. |source=UltimateClassicRock.com[1] }} This influenced several songs:[1] {{Quote|text=A few of the songs really lent themselves to two people talking to each other and at each other. I could be putting down Rick's way of thinking and he could be challenging my way of seeing life. We were thinking of making that the theme ... We weren't communicating very well through this album. |author=Roger Hodgson |source=Interview in UltimateClassicRock[1] }} This resonates with some of the songs' lyrics, such as these from "Goodbye Stranger": {{Quote|text= Is the undisputed truth But I have to have things my own way [...] Goodbye stranger it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true |multiline=y }} Some other parts of the lyrics might be references to very specific experiences the two shared, such as the "Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane", a common reference to marijuana, possibly being a reference to the event in 1972 when Davies refused to experience LSD with Hodgson, which the latter considers for himself to have been a mind-opening and life-changing experience, and which was one of the earliest points of disagreement between the two artists.[1] Music videoIn the music video, the band plays the track on a soundstage.{{citation needed|date=August 2015}} Rick Davies is playing a Wurlitzer electric piano, Roger Hodgson and Dougie Thomson are playing their guitars (Hodgson on electric, Thomson on bass), John Helliwell is playing keyboards and Bob Siebenberg is playing drums and percussion.{{citation needed|date=August 2015}} Cover versions
