I got a Guide to Marillion CD for free, maybe 7 years ago, listened a little and decided “Naaah, not for me”. Then I gave them another chance, bout the Marble album and was totally blown away. I am just 71 and have stocked up on their post-Fish albums.
I love many of their albums but I think they don't always get the dynamic nuances right in the studio. This song is a good example of how a live arrangement can transform a song to another plane.
Hope you've managed to see them since you posted this🙂. I never got into Marillion back in the day when i was a teenager...i didn't like the stuff i heard from them in the uk charts.Then 2 years ago ( aged 55!) my boyfriend took me to one of their gigs in Manchester and i was really impressed( i still am).Thought Steve Rothery was great(Still do... even more now I've heard his own band!) We just went to the Marillion weekend at De Montford hall (April 26-28🙂🙏) It was GREAT...Loved it...really into Marillion now🙂.We drove 111 miles... not far compared to other fans there,alot of whom had flown in from all over the world! There was even a guy there from Japan and a guy from New Zealand!!People from 23 countries in total!!! Amazing,great atmosphere....so much to like 🙂🙂🙂🙏. So I truly hope you have seen them by now...if not I'm sending All Best Wishes that you get to soon...🙏🙂
Well I was a massive Marillion fan back in the Fish days, and was totally gutted when they went their separate ways. I wasn't overly impressed with the early Hogarth/Marillion era, and I stopped following them properly just after Brave, which was admittedly their best album with 'H' up to that point. I'd bought a couple of random CD's in the years that followed but never really gave them any serious airplay, so last year I decided to trawl UA-cam for 'Estonia' and spent the rest of the day listening to some utterly mind blowing tracks. I can honestly say I was totally blown away by how brilliant they'd become! Each song I played was like finding a buried treasure. The Invisible Man, Neverland, The Other Half, When I Meet God, Ocean Cloud, Sky Above The Rain, the list just goes on and on! I've since bought every CD & DVD I can lay my hands on and I just keep discovering more hidden gems! I haven't listened to any other artist for over a year now and I even managed to get to see them Live in Manchester last year for the first time in 20 years, and the hairs were up on the back of my neck for the entire gig. Roll on the next Marillion Weekend! All that is really left to say is "Thank You Marillion!!!"
George Smith It's funny as my entry was quite different. I saw them open for Rush with Fish at the helm and thought they were god awful Genesis wanna be's. That had more to do with Fish and their early writing. Fast forward years later and my guitarist turned me back onto them. So glad he did. Everything they've done with H is utter brilliance (with the exception of the earliest albums with him). Now they are one of my favorite bands and Steve H one of my favorite performers. Glad I gave them another chance and wasn't stubborn. PS, still can't stomach Fish era stuff. Real hokey, but that's my taste.
I totally agree with you. I never listen to any of the Fish era Marillion nowadays. Marillion are in a completely different league nowadays. Here's hoping their next studio album blows my socks off!!! :-D
LOL, it most certainly did Bonnie! Every time I listen to FEAR, I hear something different that I'd not heard on the previous playback. There are moments in every track that give me intense pleasure, and really get the hairs up on the back of my neck! It is the Marillion album that just keeps on giving! :-D
È la mia band preferita da sempre. Ho già comprato i biglietti per il Marillion weekend Italy 9 e 10 maggio 2025... sarà il mio secondo Marillion weekend 😊
A écouter en boucle et on rencontre Dieu,en marchant dans la montagne,devant les prés fleuris,les torrents clairs,les moufflons,les oiseaux on sent que Dieu est derrière tout ça en écoutant Marillion...Il faut s'en convaincre,seule la musique sauvera ce monde c'est le langage universel de paix qui doit venir enfin ou un cahos définitif s'installera.
His vocals just get me every time! Just draws me in and leaves me in awe! I close my eyes and just drift away and get lost in the music....Pure class...
Fantastic band two of the best singers in the world fish amazing Steve amazing beautiful music at first when fish left i was young couldn't beleive it but went to see both bands in liverpool royal court in 1989 vigil tour and seasons end tour both blew me away and now as I've grown older still listen to fish and marrillion people said the same about pink floyd when roger waters left but i still love Roger waters music and pink floyd people move on times change a band is like a relationship as you get older you learn to appreciate beautiful music and Marillion fish and H the band altogether have been a storybook to my life and always will be good times in life and bad times they give me joy and happiness i will be gutted when they stop playing.i want this band to live forever they are in my heart and soul because when you listen and watch them live trust me i have seen a lot of bands who play for the money but i really do beleive they carry on for the love of the fans its a family atmosphere at gigs amazing and wonderful music that takes me and others away same with fish they understand their fans biggest secret in world music but everybody knows them.I only heard Estonia with friends from the orchestra recently on youtube i cried it helped me with the passing away of my father amazing lyrics
I do like to hear Steve Hogarth singing!!! As much as I like to hear Fish... Both of them are great. Thanks GOD for Marillion... World would be a sad place without them!!! Cheers!
One of the best song ever!!!!.... harmony and composition perfectly mixed, a truly masterpiece. Rothery's solo is just amazing, feeling and inspiration.
Il est trop beau... comme il chante !... avec tout son être... avec tout son cœur... Je l'adore... J'ai découvert Marillion sur le tard et c'est devenu mon groupe préféré. Je chante leurs textes chaque jour et je les danse aussi... et c'est vraiment exaltant. Du pur bonheur !
True artists/musicians. Depth and emotion that is such a rarity. Such beauty in our time amidst the ugly crap. It gives me hope and joy. Thank you to everyone in the band. FEAR proves that you aren't selling out!
I can not explain the feelings that Marillion brings out in me..... Goosebumps all over me! I just introduced my husband to the band and he hasn’t really like what I listen to since we’ve been together but he took me to their concert in Montreal and it blew his mind ! My children grew up listening to Marillion. My son’s band The KINECTED gets inspiration from the Marillion! NO OTHER BAND LIKE IT! ⚜️🖤✡️☮️♋️
I am a fairly new fan of Marillion but they have very quickly become my favorite band and I listen to little else these days. Their music is the kind of music I can listen to over and over and it never gets old. Truly an amazing band, each and every member has unique qualities about their talent and together they create such amazing music that is filled with so much emotion and passion unlike anything you hear any where else from any one else.
POR TODOS LOS DIOSES, QUÉ BUENA MÚSICA, OTRA ÉPOCA, OTRA VIDA, OTRA HISTORIA, DE OTRO MUNDO... MARILLION, ALEGRA LA VIDA, EL TRABAJO Y PROVOCA FELICIDAD...GRACIAS DIOS POR ESTA BELLEZA DE MÚSICA, EL TECLADO IMPRESIONANTE, LA GUITARRA ESPECTACULAR, LA VOZ ÚNICA E IRREPETIBLE... QUE VIVA MI GENERACIÓN QUE CRECIÓ Y MORIRÁ CON ESTA MÚSICA... QUE ESTA MISMA CANCIÓN SUENE EL DÍA DE MI ENTIERRO Y TODOS LOS PRESENTES RECORDARÁN LA FECHA CON AGRADO...
I was gutted when Fish left and found it hard to accept Hogarth as his replacement. BUT THIS............. THIS song says better than any words Marillion are back on top. And, yes, Hogarth does this superbly. Worrying to think this was recorded 12 years ago now.
Desde los 80 escuchando marillion...es mi vida en el 92 tuve la dicha de verlos en vivo sin fish, pero H dio la talla. aun tengo los discos como un tesoro.
ONE thumb for the singer and another thumb for that high pitch from that guitarist ..everyone in band keeping it flowing...Great! Thanks... Israel Of GOD
First post in 6 years!!! I posted before the Chicago show in June 2012, and now I'm posting after the Chicago (St Charles) show in 2018. I've seen them a total of 8 times now (X2 in Chicago 2012, 3X in Montreal 2015, and 3X on their mini-tour in 2018), and I still cant get enough. I know there are others who have hit 100 shows, 70 shows, 30 shows, etc, who feel the same way. This band is phenomenal. Brilliant. My absolute favorite.
Soy conocedor de la música exquisita y Marillion me lleva al éxtasis continuo y reverencial !!!! Melodía que traspasa el ama ,que siga la buena música solamente
possibly my most admired rock band at this moment, I read of them since the 80s and I have listened to them since then, in Mexico it was not easy in those years to get their albums, consider them great and I am not mistaken, stop following them a little after the departure of Fish, however I must admit I am amazed with the work of H, I consider Rothery one of the best, I hope to see him next January 11 2019 here.
Man, I Love this so much, Steven Rothery’s guitar playing towards the end. Even the band look on at him as if in awe ♥️ And then Steven’s little smile, so understated.
Still enjoying Marillion at 83 years old !!
So as I - but I'm "only" 53. I started listen to Marillion when I was 15....
I got a Guide to Marillion CD for free, maybe 7 years ago, listened a little and decided “Naaah, not for me”. Then I gave them another chance, bout the Marble album and was totally blown away.
I am just 71 and have stocked up on their post-Fish albums.
Still enjoying it at 85 years young !!
I have to say as an alcoholic, who had so many break ups, this song is talking directly to me😞
I cry every time I hear this… I’ve lost so many people 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🥰🥰😂🥰💯🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️Too many…🙏❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹
Me too. Beautiful song with thought provoking lyrics. Take care.
Gosh damn. ROTHERY is a master. Definitely one of the more underappreciated guitarists.
Easiliy amongst the most beautiful pieces of music created in the last 25 years.
Yep!
Marillion is brilliant in the studio and on the stage. This piece is definitely one of the masterpieces of the Hogarth era in my opinion.
I love many of their albums but I think they don't always get the dynamic nuances right in the studio. This song is a good example of how a live arrangement can transform a song to another plane.
@@progmeup I agree. The ending here was spot-on compared to the album.
Mesmerizing and visceral, one the best bands today, I never tired to listening to them!
For the love of God! Please come to America! If I die before I see this band, I will not have lived.....
Hope you've managed to see them since you posted this🙂.

God knows how many times i have seen this band live over the years. I can't recollect them all.... Well over 10 times I reckon
Everytime I listen to this song I feels like closer the heaven, almost touching the clouds...
This world is quite lonely, Marillion takes some of that away. 🕉♏️☮️
Rothery is a master = I love the solo everytime I hear it
Marillion are simply a gift to all who enjoy them !
Best version of marillion’s best song

George Smith amen!
This is such a masterpiece!
Ppl don’t know how incredibly beautiful this is 😞
Every Marillion song is a masterpiece played from the heart..
È la mia band preferita da sempre. Ho già comprato i biglietti per il Marillion weekend Italy 9 e 10 maggio 2025... sarà il mio secondo Marillion weekend 😊

Ein Glücksgriff für Marillion, dieser Sänger!!!!
When I meet god.. sir please point me in the way of my family.. many thanks
A écouter en boucle et on rencontre Dieu,en marchant dans la montagne,devant les prés fleuris,les torrents clairs,les moufflons,les oiseaux on sent que Dieu est derrière tout ça en écoutant Marillion...Il faut s'en convaincre,seule la musique sauvera ce monde c'est le langage universel de paix qui doit venir enfin ou un cahos définitif s'installera.
Putting an ad in the middle of this masterpiece should be a criminal offense.
What a stunning song. So full of emotion. Always gets to me...
His vocals just get me every time! Just draws me in and leaves me in awe! I close my eyes and just drift away and get lost in the music....Pure class...
Rothery's is just amazing
beautiful music and lyrics
fantastic Steve Rothery guitar solo at the end !!!
One thing to say like I do for all there songs just brilliant brilliant brilliant ♥️♥️♥️
Marillion is one fantastic band and "When I Meet God" ia a very special and wonderful song.
I've spent the evening on a Marillion epic fest. By Christ they've written some right skin tinglers and soul stirrers.......

@@aliciaphillips17 That's a smart band name. It works all along the continuum of being related, to we are all one.
Marillion is my faforite band from 1984
Magnifcent musicans

And, yes, Hogarth does this superbly.
Worrying to think this was recorded 12 years ago now.

Just great!
When we bring compassion and joy we are at our best
Beautiful.
Saw them in Boston on the 16th of last month..awesome show. May have to start saving for one of the weekend festivals...
Steven Rothery; the best guitarist in the world. ♥️
And David Gilmour is the Best and Steve
@@lisandrogabrielforcelli8223 Don't forget Andy Latimer from Camel.
And Gary Moore who could do it all.
The Roth is up there with Ritchie Blackmore for me as one of the best guitarist's I have ever heard.
Steve Hackett, while we're at it. (Him and Rothery dueted on the re-recording of "The Lamia".)
Awesome Show in San Fran.
Beautiful It helps my head.
Pure humanity!
Simply breathtaking!
Fantastic !
Wow!!! A journey of awe!
Génial 🥰
magical
Just great!, thanks Arie...
