Maybe only MARILLION is able to improve a fantastic 48 years old (!) Christmas song, keep the original spirit alive and add the gorgeous modern MARILLION sound. Thank you very much for each single revisited Christmas song over the last years! MARILLION FOREVER!
Fantastic. Brilliant. Emotional. This version did Greg Lakes’ original massive justice without losing the power of the message being portrayed. Well done Marillion and merry Christmas to all xx
My favourite band of all time covering my favourite Christmas song of all time!!!! Simply beautiful!!! Thank you guys and Nadolig Llawen!!! Merry Christmas to you all!! 🎄🎅🎄
Excelente, una de mis bandas favoritas Marillion, con la voz de Hogarth que transmite cada sentimiento en su interpretación 👏, a pesar que amo la banda con Fish con su tan, pero tan poderosa voz. Maravilloso tributo a Greg Lake (ELP), mi banda favorita con una voz dantesca. Desde mi Chile paradisíaco y poético, un caluroso saludo de navidad para todo el mundo melómano 🎶. Mi regalo para ustedes el tema de Jethro Tull "God rest ye merry gentlemen". 🎶
Ian Mosley makes this cover for me! He seems like a diamond geezer in the sense he would be equally at home on a building site as he would rubbing shoulders with rock stars!! 👌
WOW - Wonderful version of the best Christmas single ever by the greatest band ever. A poem I wrote about Greg in 2002, which he kindly signed for me: In ‘69 with Crimson, to me he was King, Fripp asked him to play bass and wanted him to sing. He Talked to the Wind and craved for Cat Food, Though later got arrested for swimming in the nude. He joined Keith and Carl at the dawn of a new decade, So no more Epitaph or Cadence and Cascade. His popularity soared on record and on stage, As he sang about a Sheriff, Father Christmas and The Sage. He’s highly skilled on guitar be it twelve strings, six or four, No trucks full of gear, just a Persian rug on the floor. “ Oh what a Lucky Man “ he sang to us all, Then later: C’est La Vie, Pirates and So Far to Fall. I’ve loved his music for so long, he feels like a friend, For me I hope and pray his show will never end.
It's a great version of probably my favorite Christmas song of all time. The video is really lovely also.. except I still see Greg sitting in the Israeli desert with camels crossing behind him. I miss him a lot.
To each member of the band, your work, eyes and hearts have given us another perfect moment in life. Greg Lake is indeed listening with joy in his heart.
I can’t believe Greg penned that song in the seventies. Brilliant cover guys you couldn’t have picked a better song, you really do it justice, I loved it.
Stunning and joyful. A great way to mark the holidays and give us all hope for the new year. Thanks for giving Greg Lake's tune a new life. Maybe Greg and the rest of ELP will get the credit they deserve as some of the greatest musicians of the 20th century
The best ever Christmas song done by the best ever band , just fantastic. And i believe in Marillion . On Boxing Day till New Year’s, by tradition I always play Reel to Real / Brief Encounter and Made Again 😂
Es una excelente version de un grupo progresivo....recordando al gran GREG LAKE..ELP....la melidia se ha convertido en un clasico de estas fechas navidenñas.....para reflexionar....Atenco México 🎉
agree... an incredible version of a beautiful melody by a great musician like Greg Lake, our remembered Greg Lake... And Marillion always with those details of making Christmas better every year with their music... In Mexico, also After Christmas, our most important celebration is the "Day of the Dead", something similar to Halloween in the USA
I was too. The original is my favourite Xmas song ever, by a long way, and just blew me away when I first heard it on release in 1975. But this update from this wonderful band is possibly even better? I will be listening to it a lot.
The original lyrics were :- I wish you a hopeful Christmas I wish you a brave new year All anguish pain and sadness Leave your heart and let your road be clear
Happy Xmas to all Marillions all over the world. And to all mankind, we need it.
I bought the original version by Greg Lake in the 70,s. The marillion version is the best cover I have heard. Long live Marillion and ELP.
Merry Christmas to you all and all the best for 2024
Who is here again this Festival? Happy Holidays Marillion and Fans.
It's like that with Marillion... I haven't even heard the song yet and I've already pressed the like button.
Greg probably approved 100%. LOVELY.
Rothery solo from @3:35 is what this song has always needed ⛄
It's the return of the e-bow!
I sold my Escort XR3i to Steve Rothery in 1985.
one of the Steves.... can you name the others I am thinking of?
Thank you gents. We miss you in the USA.
Maybe only MARILLION is able to improve a fantastic 48 years old (!) Christmas song, keep the original spirit alive and add the gorgeous modern MARILLION sound. Thank you very much for each single revisited Christmas song over the last years!
MARILLION FOREVER!
The best cover version of Greg Lake's classic Christmas song I have heard. Beautiful!
Have you heard Honeymoon Suite's cover?
thank you for keeping this wonderful song alive
Fantastic. Brilliant. Emotional. This version did Greg Lakes’ original massive justice without losing the power of the message being portrayed. Well done Marillion and merry Christmas to all xx
My favourite band of all time covering my favourite Christmas song of all time!!!! Simply beautiful!!! Thank you guys and Nadolig Llawen!!! Merry Christmas to you all!! 🎄🎅🎄

🤯 my favorite Christmas song redone by favorite group ‼️
Brilliant cover of an epic song
Good version. RIP Peter Sinfield who just passed away, and Greg Lake too of course.
H has that similar emotive voice akin to Greg.
Beautiful. (No pun intended.)
Love it, very poignant, when will there be peace on earth? We want it NOW.

A Rothery solo is never going to detract from a song is it. Well done chaps.
Steve Rothery sencillamente genial como ningún otro..
❤🌲🎶Thank you best band ever 🌟from Luxembourg🍀

Great version, guys! Actually I’m a little choked up, that was sweet.
It is the choir. It always gets me.
@@grantwallace1882 now I need to go listen to “Neverland” so I can have a full on cry.
I was too. The original is my favourite Xmas song ever, by a long way, and just blew me away when I first heard it on release in 1975. But this update from this wonderful band is possibly even better? I will be listening to it a lot.
Well, that was properly brilliant. Well done lads!
Absolutely wonderful
Nice version! In memory of Greg Lake.
@2:30 "I wish you a BRAVE new year". Never heard that line before in the Greg Lake lyric!
The original lyrics were :- I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
Because it's a Pete Sinfield lyric.
Hi Marillion, Merry Christmas this came as A surprise.
Grande gruppo uno dei miei preferiti e in ricordo di Greg Lake altro Grande artista Good Cristhmas
Thank goodness , a Xmas song with taste. Great version .
