Fish: Credo

Credo was the second single, released in December 1991 from "Internal Exile", my second solo album released a few months earlier. The lyrical idea was again a hangover from the Dalnaglar sessions with Marillion in '88 but didn't really come into shape until early '91 soon after the birth of my daughter Tara on January 1st who I can remember cradling in my arms while watching the "shock and awe" of the first Gulf War explode on my TV screen and wondering just what kind of world I had introduced her into. There was a lot of anger in me at that time after a debilitating and expensive legal battle with EMI records that wouldn't conclude until April of that year combined with an ongoing court case with my former band members in Marillion over various financial and other issues. It was a difficult time and I had perhaps foolishly decided to build my own recording studio amongst all this confrontation and the immense drain on my finances in order to give me creative independence away from major labels I had been beholden to. The "Internal Exile" album was the first album to be recorded in my own studios with Chris Kimsey (Misplaced Childhood, Clutching at Straws) producing. As expected the writing sessions had been strained as I came to terms with my "difficult" second solo album during this insanely stressful period. I channelled my anger into the songs and tried to look outward rather than inward. The album became a mixed bag of song subject matters and styles as I was slightly overwhelmed by my freedom and at the same time searching for a new direction and identity. The album had the original title of "Internal Exile - a collection of a boys own stories" with the cover , designed by Mark Wilkinson, reflecting the composition of a book cover of the sort of compendium I used to be given at Christmas when I was younger. "Credo" was born from a certain feeling of helplessness and frustration after watching too much satellite television of a world in chaos. The religious allusion in the lyric harked back to a desperate last ditch dependence on prayer in the face of total adversity and what I knew in reality was the uselessness of it all. The line, "It don't mean nothing" in the lyric was inspired by a scene in the movie "Hamburger Hill" when soldiers created a mantra to deal with the pain of loss of a close comrade. With the first Gulf War raging it seemed apt! It was a question of faith to which I still don't have the answer.
How the hell did this single stall at only no 37 in the charts? This song is massive. Easy top ten hit. The record company must have done a piss poor job in promoting it.
The guy is a true contemporary poet. Absolute genius wordsmith.
Fish и Marillion - интеллектуальное творчество. Музыка и слова прекрасны. Сейчас таких уже не делают. Старая школа! Спасибо за все! Навсегда!
Still fresh and relevant in 2023... Classic
The amount of people I come across who have never heard of fish or marillion. But they've heard kayleigh on the radio. This is how songs should be made not like crap been churned out today. Thank goodness I saw the 80s to enjoy the brilliant singer that fish is. Please keep singing.
What a song , never gets old .
I am here in Saskatchewan Canada , I am very thankful for Marillion and Fish . one of the greatest songwriters of many generations.
Inspiration forever 💗Fish 🎶 n That's. A Gentlemens Excuse Me .EAT MORE F...! just Jesting Kayleigh ...Top of the Morning...in your Turn around World ...Sounds like a Garden Party is coming too n End ✌🍺
Eres canadiense???
I agree. He really should be more famous. I would always prefer to listen to Fish songs instead of the sh1t played on mainstream radio.
Cheers from British Columbia Canada
All the best from Edmonton, Alberta
One of the greatest songs from him.
Mr Fish, poet of the cosmos .. shadow of Lord Byron ... when he left Marillion all spirit was gone, you cannot exchange aura ... he holds the legacy of the old Marillion days ... criminally underrated there are no words ... Marillion with Mr Fish is my lifes band ever, top one on my list ... Fish....given by an unknown God ..... *dilly dilly ...........
always a pleasure to see the passion and theatrical perfomance of Fish !!...a true scotish poet !!!
Rocking the quarantine in 2020
I still listen to your album "internal exile" once in a while. Although I'm busy drinking in local music here in Georgia 🇬🇪 the country Sakartvelo, Türkiye (arabesque and so) and Azeri music, which I all started highly appreciating the last years, I still listen to your music and to some other great artists. ❤ I grew up in the Netherlands so we had all the beautiful music from artists across the channel! ❤ and I only realised today where the lyrics of Credo are referring to. I remember writing stupid lyrics right after the Gulf War began, about all people watching TV day and night as if the Gulf War was just an exciting TV show. And I almost went with a cameraman to Iraq for CNN or BBC but because we didn't get any insurance policy being freelancers, we didn't go after all. Anyway, thank you so much for all your brilliant music, Derek! ❤❤❤
Ps. Did you know, that after Kayleigh came out, almost every second or third girl that was born in the Netherlands was called Kayleigh??? 😅❤
Hey Fish, I'm a huge huge fan of yours since 1983. Thank you for being in this world!!!
Yes me too brother
@@sonnenscheinbeinacht512 me too!🇮🇹
Great artist
Also me😊
Me too✌️
30 years for this bad boy already. Just a great song one of your very best , Fish. Cheers from America.
Fish THANK YOU for singing about my life!!! Can I say I have sung "You take the highroad" in English Street Carlisle with a man trying to convince folk to change their leccy supplier (or something).
RESPECT FISH from the streets (sleeping outside Edinburgh Uni Levels cafe again tonight💪)
Love this song. Ever
I looked up the word fish and it brought me here.
That is. Not a joke.
Very relevant. Especially now...
Script for a Jester's Tear: a masterpiece i keep returning to. Thanks for all the Fish
Fish isn't only Marillion, he is a very good Songwriter und Singer.
Zgadza się 👍😉🇵🇱🖐
I love this song,it gives me chills,they’re multiplying.
How can a song be so flaming good - it is an epic epic piece. Old Fish has done some amazing songs since Marillion, musically I think this is the best, it does what music should - takes you away.
One of music's great lyricists, he's a Scotsman, I'm a Scotsman, Marillion are English, Fish made them, now Marillion are wollowing in sad meloncholy without him, bet they'd wished they'd kept Fish and would have conquered the world, hindsight is a wonderful thing , cheers Fish for the great music, my fellow Scotsman 🎤🎤🎤🎸🎸🎸😘😘🤘🤘🤘👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏
Fish's artistic concepts are very mature and relevant. Unfortunately this kind of musician is rare here in Brazil. I'm 38 and grown up listen and singing his songs till today. The song themes and vocal/video performances need to be seen and reflected for the young rising musicians. You are a great reference, Fish!!!!
Singer songwriters like Fish are Rare in the World! ;)
An absolutely awesome all time great rock song. If Fish had only ever written this he would be remembered by people with aural taste. This is passion, soul, sadness, anger and power at its very best. The players here are awesome, the production superb and the singer's sentiment grabs you at the core. Brilliant lyrics in a legendary tune. I've run out of superlatives. Young writers could learn a fair bit from this guy.
did he not write it
Mogliby mogli się dużo nauczyć pozdrawiam 58 letni fan Marillion i yes
Beautiful Song. Great Voice, amazing perform
I have always loved this song!
Bellísima canción!!! Un gran cantante que está vigente!!! No conocía el video!!! Un gran abrazo desde Córdoba, Argentina!!!
The words. The multiple twists and possible meanings. The double negative. Fantastic, Fish. To all listening and watching, be well!
Este senhor tem uma voz fenomenal,
Parabéns fixe.
Very powerful and deep song writer, from the heart, an expression of feelings
here thesedays artist this how you compose a real song!!!! love you Fish greetings from Holland
An amazing song Fish, even with the difficult undertones it still remains upbeat in a way, gives a light at the end of the tunnel/new chapter and hope feel to it as well
Epic
I am Into this Band Since 2018 . I checked there song , saw them Playing Live and I feel like they are Underrated . They Deserve to be More Famous regarding Being a Genius Musicians .Cheers and Thanks .🤘 See you Soon Again .
Words words words ...classic as always ...exile was not given the credit it deserved...probably because it had a lot to follow after vigil being so good ..

A masterpiece.
Fantastic song. Definitely one of his best ever!
Love this tune - takes me back to early Fish tours. Miss the big guy not having the range he used to have nowadays. Still got my memories though.
and the backing band is just superb
Like a Fish into the Sea 🐠 Great Music 😀👍
Fish hit it out of the park here, tears in my eyes.
Brilliant! Along with Lady Nina!
Just image....early morning at the Beach with Sound of the Sea....And Credo on Your mind.
Fish é o melhor !! Vozeirao adoro... Marillion so foi bom com ele !
Verdade, com Steve hogard não ficou bom. Deviam ter acabado a banda
GREAT,,,,,Inspired vocal,,,there are spots where the music really flows the vox,i can feel the power when its right.the magic pushed through
Super że Fish nie jest w Polsce zapomniany
one of my all time favorite songs
Fish, I find very little inspiration in 2022 to get off my arse and go and perform the songs I've been writing so long, but I feel like your voice alone is inspiring me to finally do it. It's mainly that third verse in 'Childhood's End' about resigning yourself to die a broken rebel but with a past tense lilt. I'm aware this page is probably run by an intermediary, but I'm listening to your music alone as the people around me grey out and ask all the wrong questions. Thanks for the music.
Wow, still get goosebumps from this, listened a lot to that album late 90s
Mi canción favorita,melodía,letra ...y el que tiene una voz increíble,bello. . .
When I feel that my only response to this mixed up world is to howl at the moon, this song is the one I have to sing!
Ich kann mich an ihm nicht sattsehen bzw. -hören.😍😍😍😍
Amazing song!
Fisher... que increíble eres...y que composición que voz ...
Listening in lockdown feb2021

por siempre una de las mejores canciones que he escuchado en mi vida!!!
The subjects in this song are still up to date...years later.
Visto tante,tante,tante volte.........e ascoltato sempre!!!!Voce e carisma da 10 e lode!!!!
What a fantastic tune.
Amo! Beijos brasileiros para todos! 😀

Fish, I don't care what you do. You are Fish. On of the greatest singers and songwriters of all time.
I don't know if I love more the voice or the face :)
Fish es un fenomeno un genio que perdura siempre!
Belíssimo! Super !
Can we get some love for that band. Especially guitarist frank usher.incredibke guitarist
Always Fish...
THE BEST LYRICIST THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER...ALWAYS CONTRAVIRTUL SUBJECT MATTER,,ALWAYS GREAT WORDPLAY..IT MAKES YOU ANALYSE THE LYRIC ...THE MAN WITH A GIFT FOR WORDS..
What a fantastic voice!
genau so ist es !!
He has said of himself hes a writer who sings, not a singer who writes. Finest lyricist in ours or many generations. Fish, I have watched you perform since the beginning and I think the lyric and artistry of performance "took my grandads breath away" is THE best. Sometimes less is more, it's simple, poignant and genius. Thank you, RIP to your grandpa
Found the band while listening to Unitopia on Deezer, loved it!
El espectacular y gran Fish.
Excellent use of HAND GESTURES ...VERY VERY important in the message EXCELLENT WORK
Fantastic use of the micro movements, glance over the shoulder ,always can write and person and act.to become the song.
The CEO of the Guild of Wordsmiths ..I kneel in front of you Fish !
Worship at the altar that is derek William dick esq
Love the eyes..always loved his eyes.x
Genius!
like genesis with peter gabriel and the first simple minds,nice song of impact!!!
I am a lyrics kind of guy, subsequently this album is firmly in my top ten, along with the likes of Lamb Lies Down, Wish You Were Here, Who's Next etc... The title track is simply one of the best...Thanks Fish. See ya soon fella.
Hello Sir! These footnotes in video descriptions are priceless! Thank You!
sat at the side of loch lomond with this on full blast, no one around for miles... bliss!
Truly one of the most talented lyricist is our Fish!
Un genio este tipo!!!
Is this Rotherey...of course, it must be😂. Wow I keep playing this song again like before..it don't mean nothing❤❤❤❤

For Whom the Bell Tolls is one of my all time fav live albums
Fidèle à ta musique .
So happy that I was lucky enough to be turned onto music that I otherwise
would never have heard. Great music is hidden CONSERVATIVES!!!!!
Love this song I think I was at the royal Court for one of your first performances of this
Thanks for the insight to the origins of the song too
I bought this on 12 inch special edition 30 odd years ago. I can't believe Fish is 60 this year
I bought this on tape in Italy and now after 26 years I can still remember every single word, I can play it with guitar, and the emotional impact is always the same, and for this I have to thank a girl living in the city of my grandparents, this song is related to those moments, that girl, that city, that year. Thanks Fish!
Andrew K i have the same edition,with the giant poster
One of my Fav Tracks of all time.wow...
FISH 👍JESTEŚ WIELKI 🖐NA ZAWSZE ❤
Zgadzam się w 100%
