#marillion
most underrated band of the last 50 years, never found a songwriter that even came close to lyrics of the big man, this is poetry on music
Classic Marillion.
I Love Fish era, I love H era because they both performs with so much passion in their own style. They are both exceptionals !
Love the Marillion era with Lead singer Dereck Dick (aka Fish). His lyrics were so well constructed. Great band that’s been producing great stuff for decades. Criminally overlooked for their contribution that brought progressive rock through the late 80’s and 90’s
You must try Marillion's "Grendel" which is based on 'Beowulf'. It WILL blow you away, I promise you.
Check out Neverland (live)- one of the best songs ever written - another singer in the meanwhile but not the less charismatic
That was the last concert of drummer Mick Pointer, founding member of the band. The new drummer was Ian Mosley, an excellent drummer. Similar to Chelsea Monday, the song Jigsaw is like this one.
Welcome to Marillion! This is a very deep dive. They have over fourty years of music because they're still going strong. They set a scene and tell a story with music. "Sugar Mice" has another Steve Rothery guitar solo in it and a really heartbreaking story from Fish, the same singer. "Easter" is a classic from Steve Hogarth, the singer who has been with them since 1989. The guitar solo there is a masterpiece too.
Thanks for taking the time to share a bit of info. Really enjoyed this.
Totally Agee
@@SaeedReacts. Marillion were a real album band, some of the best stuff was not the singles, their big hit Kayleigh actually have different lyrics when I first heard it on a tour before the album realise, this person was way better and darker to, it was played as part of them experamenting with side one of the new album on the tour. I guess the management preferred the lighter tone of the eventual release for public chart consumption. so in the end both Kayleigh seamed watered down, and Lavender did not seam to fit the rest of the album, that was not even used on the original side one they played live on that tour.
The Web and Forgotten Sons from the first album are worth a listen, Emerald Lies of the second album, The Misplaced Childhood album should really be listed to one side at a time to have full effect but definalty Bitter Suite & Heart Of Lothian. and Slainte Mhath and Hotel Hobbies from the Clutching at Straws album, but to be honest, that should just be listed to as a whole.
This song belongs to my favourite album of the 80’s.
Thanks to the UA-cam algorithm, this video popped up on my screen and threw me right back into my own youth. I could never get enough of Marillion. Fish and Marillion are heroes of my youth.
Really great song! Thanks for watching.
Legendary band like so many point out. The older music might be a bit outdated sound wise but Fish’s lyrics are unmatched
Love this album and Fugazi. Still have my vinyl albums from 43 years ago 🤘🤘💖
The spoken word reports her suicide, pulled out of Thames still with a smile on her face. The Script album is awesome.
It's ambiguous as to whether the song's subject actually kills herself - Fish referred to it as "her first suicide attempt" in the preamble at one of those Marquee gigs that have been officially released (I forget which). The guy saying "what a waste" was, after all, just reading a sidebar in the old Een Stannit.
The duhduhduhduh part you were wondering about which instrument was playing that, I can tell you that was bassplayer Pete Trewavas. He has a very interesting approach to playing bass, inspired by Paul McCartney by playing melodically. He combines with the use of basspedals (the deep low notes at the beginning are him on those pedals). He over the years has evolved his style by adding all kinds of effects to create a wide range of sounds you would not normally associate with a bass guitar.
Next step would be to do a song from them with their second (and current) singer Steve Hogarth, who can also be theatrical at times. I would suggest looking at a live performance of the song The Invisible Man, you might get a kick out of that one musically AND lyrically.
Thanks for taking the time to let me know about that. Truly an awesome song and the performance is top notch! Quite the experience.
@@ChrisEchoes Pete is a truly outstanding musician :)
This song is one of my fav from Marillion
I love Marillion, Only Fish phase, Marillion is based in Tolkien writer of Lord of rings
Welcome to the marillion world. This Band was and is so brilliant, but today relatively unknown. There is the before and after FISH-Era. I love both of them. This song is from the Fish era, ended late 90s. The music after Fish is also fantastic. Please check it out
late 80's fish left
1988 was the year when Fish & Marillion parted company on less than friendly terms. They were trying to write / record what would have been the 5th main-catalogue album with Fish but it wasn't to be. Some of the lyrics that were demoed ended up on Fish's first album "Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors" (1990) and some of the music ended up on the 5th Marillion album (1st with Steve Hogarth) Seasons End (1989).
@SaeedReacts. Some posters try to drive a wedge between the Fish era of Marillion and the "H" era. Some will never accept Marillion without Fish, even 36/37 years on whilst some are mightily pleased that he left. It's stating the obvious really but probably the best way forward is to find as you find and form your own opinion(s)... Happy listening to whatever you listen to 🙂.
Hi Saed, as always a tasteful reaction! Welcome to the best band you've never known! Still out there creating fantastic music. Try tge live ones, eg. Gaza, Ocean Cloud and all the others out of 40 years and enjoy it! Keep going on with your stuff! Very soffisticated👍
Really great song and performance. Thanks for watching and the recommendations.
My favourite Marillion track. Thank you!
"The Web" from the same album ("Script for a Jester's Tear") is also good.
It’s great that your first view of the band is a song from their debut album which came out over forty years ago. Seeing how you liked their sound, I think you would enjoy progressing with them through the years. Their next album was Fugazi from ‘84 followed by their biggest commercial success, Misplaced Childhood. They have continued to evolve and put out great work since then over about twenty albums. If you want to stick with the timeline, the title track from Fugazi would be a solid next step.
Have a listen to Grendal off BSides Themselves. That's where Fish shows his ability. And Fugazi. Nothing I've found compares to the lyrics and poetry. Hell, Forgotten Sons breaks me.
I would recommend two songs by then to you: Sugar Mice in the Rain. And Estonia ….a beautiful piece based on the tragedy of the ferry Estonia. The live studio version with string quartet is so beautiful.
Thanks for the recommendations.
Try Waverly Steps by Fish, I promise you'll be blown away.
The things you should know about the Chelsea area of London is that is full of very affluent people these days. Used to be a place full of artists, poets, painters & radicals and very Bohemian. That's long gone though. In the 60s & early 70s it was the real centre of "Swinging London". It was the home of The Beatles, Rolling Stones members and so on.
It is interesting how cities and areas go through these big changes over the years. Not always for the better though 😅
Thanks for introducing me to this song and performance!
I can see the Peter Gabriel and early Genesis influence in this performance.
Music I listen to when I was in a dark place in my life. Very good music. But I tend not listen to it anymore, due to it taking me back there…😢music to me is my passion and life, good bad the highest and the lowest and all between. ❤
There is only one Marillion. Fish, Fish and Fish.
Great reaction mate
Thanks!
Probably their biggest hit was Kayleigh from around 1985
Nice reaction 👍🏻.
Some recommendations

Thanks for watching and the recommendations!
One of the few early Marillion songs that still works for me. Great storytelling.
Their are many songs from their early albums I think you would like, but you will definitely need to see the lyrics as well, mainly due to the strong Scottish accent, European slang, and some songs are very wordy. The band is very often compared to early Peter Gabriel, but I've never listened to Gabriel, except a few songs on the radio, that I thought sounded nothing like Marillion.
Really enjoyed this song.
I have reacted to a few Peter Gabriel songs, but don't know of enough of both to make a comparison.
❤
❤️
I think the instrument you mean is a harpsichord (Clavecin, Cembalo or which language you prefer) .
Oooh! There was another song where this instrument was featured and i think i asked the same question 😅
There must be a youtube video on how to recognize all instruments 😄. Need to study that.
Please promot Marillion i lesson them for 30 years they are not wellknown as they should
Have only heard two songs so far, but really enjoyed them.
I paused at 5 secs I didn’t watch the video as I don’t like this song or that singer. Q have you ever done a video of Marillion now they’re better and with the better singer? I would def watch that video anyways C-ya
@@jmurray2018 you should try out some of the fish era marillion. Steve Hogarth is my favorite but fish is great too in my opinion.
