Thanks for watching the video Marillion - The only unforgiveable thing - First Listen/Reaction
Marbles is a fantastic album
one of my favorite Marillion songs! great reaction. It's a deeper cut that is only on the expanded 2 disc version of Marbles.
As for the meaning, Steve Hogarth said there are two main inspirations / meanings for the song. The bulk of the song is about remorse and regret within a domestic relationship and how the guilt and pain follows you around like a specter or ghost and you cant get away from it. Everything reminds you of the guilt. But while he was writing it, there was also the invasion of Iraq. He was ashamed of his government joining with the US and some of the lyrics are inspired by that.
The short “Marbles interludes” throughout this double album are the cement that holds it all together… they are very short but each it’s own masterpiece :)
Marillion is amazing band!
On the record this one always felt rather low key to me, but live it really shines! It became one of my favorite more subtle Marillion tunes seeing it live in 2015 when they did the whole of Marbles!
Thank you :)
The next number is Marbles II (roman numeral 2). There are 4 Marbles songs on the album (I, II, III and IV). They are short songs about Marbles, Steve H.'s favorite game from back in the day.
I've had Marbles III as a ringtone on my phone for years. And every time this song came up in my playlist, I reached for my phone 😁.
You could listen to the songs 'Ocean Cloud' and 'Fantastic Place' next. Or 'This Strange Engine' (song about his father) from the album of the same name. Great 🎸solos and vocals!!
I always felt the line, is comfortable in it's own skin is key. I'm usually wrong but does it mean a lack of remorse?
Either way if you listen to the album, there was the commercial version version. This song was on the latter so unknown for some back in 2004. This also goes for Ocean Cloud, one of their best. Marbles is 1-4 in Roman numerals. Covers the concept of being a child playing with marbles before losing your marbles or childhood innocence to losing your mind. Great album along with Brave and more recently Fear and An hour before it's dark. Songs such as The Great Escape, The new kings and Sierra Leone from each.
Marbles is one of their best albums. Lots of great music to discover. They take a long time to create their songs, and it takes a long time to appreciate everything they have to offer. As you have discovered, the longer you listen, the better it gets. It's the subtleties that make the masterpiece.
Thanks for getting back to Marillion. But you forget the first rule of Marillion listening. Always, always, always choose a live version of a song. In the studio Hogarth seems adamant in electing to present a much meeker and breathy voice. Live, he is a powerhouse and the result is infinitely more impactful.
Marillion is, as you pointed out, not an experimental band. It resists being labeled as any one sort of music, but fans will call it "prog" due to the many longer, and epic length song having sub-parts stiched together with changes in meter, melody, and lyrics. One of those epics is one I don't think anybody has reacted to as of yet. Be the first to react to "Interios Lulu", an eerily prophetic song about people, in particular young women, abandoning real life for an online existence. ua-cam.com/video/Lx1EUNqDn-I/v-deo.html
I love Interior Lulu! Very overlooked, but luckily the band have pulled it out more recently, at least at the weekends
In most cases, yes go for the live version, but in this particular song the studio version is king. There is an intimacy to vocal that doesn’t happen live. The nature of the lyrics are such that a more delicate performance is more effective.
