when i was younger my dad would play marillion so much and I wouldn’t understand why he liked them so much, looking back i was only a kid but these guys are amazing now that i come back to their music. Especially fish, he’s truly a genius at wordplay. this song is my favorite, truly encapsulates how i feel right now due to some circumstances, i wish my dad was here so we could listen to this music together. But sadly he passed away in 2019, since then ive been listening to music he had shown me when i was younger , and i fell into marillion.
These old dads had amazing taste in music.. takes me back listening to this..I've just put my 16year old son on to Marillion.. 'nope' i might be an amazing mam with great taste🤣.. but this ones all down to grandad son !
Your Dad put you on the road to real music, not the trashy stuff that's been played since that awful disco stuff.
Hope you're bearing up after your loss and getting comfort from your music.
All the best.
A choice well done
you and your dad have p*ss poor taste in music
Top Man.
The moment when Fish starts to sing 'Cause I know what I feel, know what I want I know what I am
Daddy took a raincheck...' is the moment when I can't hold my tears anymore. Beautiful song. Simply a masterpiece.
Me too. Saw them last night, floods of tears - no idea why!
👍👍👍👍
This song is an anthem to my Dad moving overseas for better work when I was 10 and never came back. Kills me but I love it so much.
Agree Timeless Masterpiece. Emotional Intelligence shines through. I know what I feel.
who"s still listening this masterpiece in 2020?master poet is BIG FISH!!!!!!!!!!
I am.. I was very lucky to live in their hometown of Aylesbury and very lucky to have seen many of their very early gigs in small smokey pubs...
I always listen music of all times
i am and i have tears in my eyes, shit this kick hard.
Find it hard listening to this song, gets me every time and breaks me.
Don't care what people say but Fish is better a singer than Steve Hogarth!
This song is a true masterwork (like all of Clutching At Straws really). I've never been an out-of-work alcoholic father (I don't even have kids), who is unable to look his children and ex-wife in the eye, but I still just get this song. The emotion is SO real. Fish is a master of understanding sorrow, regret, broken pride and emotions and the human condition in general. Fish is a legend forever as are Marillion :)
My favourite Marillion album.
Perfectly said
Ok
No u can't get IT.. if u don't have kids
U never get this song if u ain't got kids son
The lyrics, the voice, the guitar, the song - what can I say? It's just so touching.
A song that still makes me cry unashamedly. I was 28. Just broke up with my ex. She took the kids. This song hits too hard even now.
I feel your pain...😢
as the son of an alcoholic this pulls at my heart strings .. i knew my dad loved me but couldn't say ... he pulled through and we are tight today though and he is the best grandfather to my boys
I Feel you here! My Dad too was a serious alcoholic as well. :( Sadly my Dad never escaped the bottle, glad to hear some do! :)
stay strong ty .. your fathers struggles are not yours mate .. don't fall into the same path mate .. its so easy to do .. sorry you and your dad didn't find what me and mine did .. I'm sure the love was there buddy but as I said he probably couldn't find a way to tell you
lee malcolm i feel u man alcohol it gets me by and my son likes this noise cheers...!!
ty hamilton cant blame the bottle i enjoy my favorite demon some people cant handle it but this song is fukin good!!!
Fucking A mate! Good for you!!!!!
Fish sings about real life .I love his work.genius poet.
Genius ,so underated
''So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar. Where I sit with the broken angels clutching at straws and nursing our scars'' ...
god damn...what a verse....
Nathan Plays pretty close
Nathan Plays ... that's the point at which I start sobbing like a baby...
Awesome x
+Nathey Yes one of many great verses by Fish
+byronofcalgary wow... brilliant comment
One of the greatest songs of all time.
Thanks, Fish!
Love this song
Outstanding!
My dad took me to his house and he was so nice to us. We got a tour around his recording studio. He had a few beers and a chat with my dad. It was a fantastic day.
Forgot just how beautiful this song is... just superb... time to revisit Marillion methinks...❤
Right on 🙂👍,i didn't realise how good they were at the time , do now.
Spit on
Spot on
Such a great underrated band. Still jamming in 2024.
This song stabs me in the heart EVERY time!
Love Marillion!
I just let it stab me about 3 times just now
I've not heard my daughter's voice since this time last year. I know how Fish feels.
This is one of my favourite Marillion songs. I have been there, No.1 at the end of the bar after my wife and I went separate ways, I love this song, it is very special,
You can't write a song like this without something in your life Bringing you to this emotional lyrics
Congratulations i am 51 years i listen marillion since teenager its amazing. Thanks for the vídeo.
I remember when I first discovered Marllion. I was working a job I did not like. And I came across the misplaced child hood album. Listened to the whole thing on my shift and was completely moved by it. That was an exciting transition in my life I was about to go to university. A new beginning. But turns out I ended up absolutely miserable there. And I remember just walking alone at night around the school listening to marllion it was one of the few things that kept me going at the time.
When I was 17 I visited a Fish concert and during ‘Market square heroes’ he pushed the microphone in my face to sing a line. Good memory.
This brings tears to me eyes. Daddy took a raincheck ... so bitter
I had forgotten how good Marillion were......great vocals from Fish. A really good band.
I doubt we will ever see another lyrically gifted song writer such as Fish, some come close and are amazing in their own right but Fish was and still is in a league of his own.
One of my parents was an alcoholic in the 80's, and my family was dysfunctional to say the least. No wonder this song and this album spoke to me. I was often upstairs, avoiding the drunk, who was sleeping in an armchair... Daily routine: start drinking at dinner time, continuing to midnight.. every damn evening, seven days a week. It's a mystery how alcohol can take over life... I think Fish describes The Demon Alcohol and emotional struggles in a fantastic way...
you & my both... this track takes me back a sanctuary on my own bedroom. Great post x
"Lady bottle" is a fierce and very exclusive mistress. The one to whisper at your ear "you only need me, all the rest are troubles I can freeze in time and put out of your mind". This is the tragedy of alcoholism: you become an unpredictable, ambiguous stranger for your loved ones, until you become a stranger to yourself. Sometimes genuinely loving, often estranged emotionnally as your emotions are held behind a seemingly tight dam, often bursting with violence as the slightest disturbance is a burden you didn't want but you have to bear since your ally is traitorous.
Worked on the subject as the psychology student I expected to be. Today I'm a brewer. Nonetheless, I don't encourage the abuse. Alcoholism is one of the worst, insidious, easy-buildable and wrecking addiction one (plus his relatives) can suffer, and I wouldn't wish it to my worst enemy.
Fish is a poet its that simple, Marillion is not Marillion without him
So is Steve's guitar.
I have had the pleasure, honor to have met “Fish” in a gig in a Belgium bar a few years ago! His kind approach to his fans, touched my ❤️ and has stayed always a wonderful memory that I will sharish for ever...What a great singer, cool, humble , lovely person that he is....lovely memories ....💔😭Thank you, Derek William Dick, for your music that makes us raise up from the pain...that life sometimes unfairly presents us with...🙏🏻🌠😔🌻💖💕I share a tear everytime I hear your music, voice...😭😭😭😭😭 nostalgia of the wonderful times I have had listening to your songs but that have become , memories...in my life! Be safe🌸
Well said Sandra I'm shedding a tear right now this song is absolutely different class !!! From start to finish 👌👌
Well said Gareth. Hope you only share tears of joy...from now on! 😉 Blessings your way. 🌅
First heard this when I was 14..and it struck a cord with me.. Now 47 and it still sounds amazing
Very underrated band, they should be among bands like pink Floyd Their music is superb
+Jaime Urrutia Unfortunately they were a case of a good band at the wrong time. A prog band in the post-punk years. There was no forgiveness and they couldn't have been less cool.
+Jaime Urrutia yes they are very good but no way near floyds league!!
+Jaime Urrutia aren`t they?
+Dede0601 No. Pink Floyd are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Marillion never will be. In fact, Marillion are largely forgotten, even in their own country. And even if you look at their videos on TH-cam, you'll find almost every video has comments making negative references in relation to Genesis.
Matt Maloney
Well, but I know Marillion and I haven`t heard Pink Floyd and Genesis. I have to add, that my favourite band is Iron Maiden, not Marillion, so I`m not their "mega" fan.
Wow. I had forgotten about this masterpiece. Powerful lyrics and has brought a tear to my eye. We are all sugar mice in the rain.
2024 still loving this Amazing Grop I'm now 59
I'm 55. And I love since I was 17😊
Maybe the best band ever.
The amazing music, the beautiful lyrics, fish's voice....
My favorite band since i was around 12 years old.
Best themed album of all time, Clutching at Straws had it all. Superb songwriting, great music and imagery. It continues to move me every time I hear it.
Me definitely Marillion a centerpiece of British rock. 35 years of listening and never a disappointment .... Beautiful, Sugar Mice......
Still loving it all these years later
CLUTCHING AT STRAWS. ... IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST LYRICAL ALBUMS EVER RECORDED..... RIGHT THERE WITH MISPLACED CHILDHOOD...
A beautiful video by Marillion and my favorite video!Because it reminds me so much of me, my ex-wife and my past relationship!😢😢😢
I bought this on vinyl in 1987.
Watched video for the first time ever in 2019.
I lose it when the children are going to daddy's arms and disappear. Tears. The lyrics + the music are just overwhelming.
My partner of 14 years left me on the 5th on December 2024 , we have a house and 2 year old son and this song is really overwhelming and gets me every time , she’s now left and at her parents with my boy and I only see him twice a week now instead of everyday 😢. That part is the worst “Daddy took a Raincheck” it hits me hard as I miss my boy as I don’t see him home from work everyday now 😭 💔
35 years, oh my, I feel so old! Rotherham what a guy
To me, Steve Rothery is in the same league as David Gilmour.
“Ladies and gentlemen, Mister Steven Rothery…” 🎸
late 1987. Listening to this album from start to finish over and over and over again on my Walkman. Smoking cigarettes and trying to hold back tears because my parents were finally divorcing, it was my senior year in highschool and I felt numb. My father ignored me, really didn't give a damn about anyone but himself. And there was Fish singing "Daddy took a rain check..."
I can relate to that.Fugazi lp helped me through my terribile parents divorce...the findings of a group of allies in Fish and his band...
My dad isn't a bad man but he ignored me and my brothers too...
My all time favourite 🙏❤ An eternal classic ! Heard this song when I was just 12 years old .. and then Marillion, Marillion .. and Marillion... ... and after all these years it just feel like I m living that same age each time I hear it ! Classic !!
Dammit that Guitar !
Can’t get over how good this song genuinely is.
80´s watching clips of decent music on MTV without ads at night with a girl in the couch without mobile phone and instagram to compete with
Beautiful song and a perfect video, the part where he sees his wife in the bar and smiles before seeing its not her and the kids fading away before they reach his outstretched arms are as moving as it gets.
Brilliant song from a brilliant band. And my favourite album of theirs.
I want to buy it now , how d i do that?
Summer of 1987 driving in the rain and this song playing on my stereo. such memories
One of my favourite songs of all time.
Poignant lyrics tick
Awesome intro tick
Fantastic guitar playing tick
Great bass line tick
Great vocals tick
Listening to this from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦, on 600 watts singing out loud...
MARAVILLOSA!!!! ERA TAN JOVEN CUANDO ESCUCHÉ ESTA CANCIÓN POR PRIMERA VEZ Y AUN ME SIGUE CAUSANDO LA MISMA IMPRESIÓN DE AQUELLA PRIMERA VEZ!!! GRACIAS!
one of the Best Bands of the 80s . Saw them live twice . FISH is fantastic
Love his voice. He IS Marillion
I was 18 when I was forced into listening to sugar mice, it was the 1980's, it made me realise how hard it was back then, for me I was one of the very few lucky ones to get a good job. The song is so amazing to capture that time in are history of unemployment and poverty it still makes me feel how lucky I was to have a job.
This song always touches a nerve in me . 😕🏴
Up there with the very best songs of all time in my humble opinion.
A story set to music by masterful musicians .
Man, i can't keep my eyes dry with this song.
Me too...42 years together
Crikey, I am LOVING all these old Marillion videos which I never knew existed! Love this song so much!
I feel the same love for this album and especially for this moving song, as I felt 34 years ago. I imagine the character that Fish impersonates, a man who's lost a lot. What a beautiful, heartfelt melody, what a magnificent guitar solo ! I remember attending a concert of Marillion in July 1987, when the album was released. A great, quite moving concert, at least in my memory. Fish has a special voice not everybody's cup of tea, but he sings with such emotion and a sense of drama, such delicacy or power. His lyrics were really splendid and Steve Rothery and the whole band were at the top of their game at the time.
just been at MarillionWeekend in Padua..not my generation but totally my band❤
Love every single track they have written so far and they are all amazing musicians & stage animals❤
Such a sad, yet soothing guitar melody and great honest, almost poetic lyrics. I believe if they would've stayed with Fish, they would've been way more famous and recognized today...
Fish, i love you brother, i can feel your pain, healing and peace to you and the band , beautiful music. Thankyou, Robin, New Zealand.
MARILLION, PINK FLOYD, DIRE STRAITS AND QUEEN... THE BEST BRITISH BANDS EVER....AGREE?
but Marillion with Fish!!!
And Floyd with Waters. It just wasnt the same after Final Cut
Yes! Only with Fish! :)
You forgot GENESIS
You are righ.
Mobius loop!... I started listening in 1987. It's 2021 and I'm still listening.
Maybe I'll never get over the end of this band after a brilliant fourth album.
Not a fan of Hogarth Marillion then? 😉 They did some good tunes after Fish left.. Easter (off the follow-up to CAS) is a banger 😊
@@anorakus8272 I never tried, was to hurt by the divorce and somehow decided without knowing at the time I wouldn't see both parents again :). So I listen to the first four albums and that's about it. Maybe it was a mistake but that's how it went.
Fantastic song, fantastic album - love it until today. Cannot express how sad I was as Fish left the band. Never got into the band again after their split until today.
Me too. I saw them their first tour with Hogarth. Disappointment.
Fish was, and remains the better wordsmith.
Totally agree with you, but Fish went on to make and still continues to make amazing solo albums. He's a genius poet.
Fish is a poet of our times, really...
True That :)
Indeed. Even my 18 year old daughter says that the lyrics are better than anything which describes itself as poetry.
Marillion,never the same for me when this guy left.Theres only one Fish.
Agree 100 %
Never the same, but much better.
No band can be like Marillion. This is an extraordinary quality.
Love Marillion when Fish is singing.
So many happy memories.
Incredible great song, impales my body each time I listen to it....
Gentleman excuse me. Very good also
One of my favourite marillion songs,beautifully constructed,and played
Ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me
Blame it on me, blame it on me...
No matter how we think we have power over everything in are life's we are just sugar mice in the rain and there is nothing that can change that........ Let go of the stress let go of hate and fear. Fish we love you!! Well done again!!!!
No denying Fish has a great voice and a great catalogue of songs.
I keep returning.
Saw them play this at Brighton last week (2018) and I shed a tear. Beautiful.
Marillion la combinación ideal entre letras, música y momentos ...forma parte de lo más selecto de lo progresivo.
im Listening right now. Wonderful. Mérida Venezuela.....
Such a heart warming song and well crafted. One of a very few songs that gives me goosebumps.
Carissimi Marillion vi voglio bene, vi ascolterò sempre, sarete sempre nel mio cuore ❤️. Massimo di Bergamo, Italia.
Love Derek & Marillion. Saw them at the Mean Fiddler in London years ago, he was sick as hell, but still gave a great performance. Yes, under rated!!!!! A genre unto themselves I believe! Tae us' fae's like us!!!!
Masterpiece, Marillion, can't think of more lush more melodic , more beautiful prog rock. Otherworldly aliens sent to me from heaven, to deal with trying to get over pandemic times.❤️❤️❤️
what a great song. brilliant storytelling. well done big man.
I love it!
I was flicking through the channels on the TV
On a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain
Trying to piece together conversations
Trying to find out where to lay the blame
But when it comes right down to it there's no use trying to pretend
For when it gets right down to it there's no one here that's left to blame
Blame it on me, you can blame it on me
We're just sugar mice in the rain
I heard Sinatra calling me down through the floorboards
Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme
To the jukebox crying in the corner
While the waitress is counting out the time
For when it gets right down to it there's no use trying to pretend
For when it gets right down to it there's no one really left to blame
Blame it on me, you can blame it on me
We're just sugar mice in the rain
'Cause I know what I feel, know what I want I know what I am
Daddy took a raincheck
'Cause I know what I want, know what I feel I know what I need
Daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck
Ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me
Blame it on me, blame it on me
Well the toughest thing that I ever did was talk to the kids on the phone
When I heard them asking questions I knew that you were all alone
Can't you understand that the government left me out of work
I just couldn't stand the looks on their faces saying, "What a jerk"
So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar
Where I sit with the broken angels clutching at straws and nursing our scars
Blame it on me, blame it on me,
Sugar mice in the rain, your daddy took a raincheck
Did You Know?
This,song sums my life
Thank u for the lyrics!!!
Great composition.
thank you for this track. I have always loved it's raw honesty
A Masterpiece, and one of My Fav Guitar Solos, and They are from My Home Town Aylesbury Too
¡Gracias por la traducción! Me encanta Marillion con Fish como cantante, me emociona.
Fantastic ! Big Fish
For the life of me, I can’t figure out why this didn’t get massive airplay.
This gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Fantastic music and lyrics.
Una de mis canciones favoritas, con ese solo de Rothery que pone en extasis a quien la escucha, en sintesis una bella cancion. Gracias por traducirla.
hay 2 que no saben nada de la buena musica.
Take a bow, Steve Rothery. WHAT a solo that is 🤯
2:06...barman wiping the "warm, wet circles"...Man, I wish I could've seen them live during this period!!!
They were fabulous 👍
Sencillamente,Espectacular!Atrae de una forma determinante una onda especial!
Their best song by far (and I know its hard to pick) but wow every time it makes me sad when I hear it because we have all been there.
I LOVE this album.
muy bueno !,excelente tema,de los años 80'.
Eres grande Fish, se te recordara siempre como el mejor Marllion
Terribly honest and speaking a raw-cruel truth.
The father is almost always left clutching the short straw when the relationship ends...
Thats why the lyric daddy takes a raincheck...
One of the best Prog Rock bands ever. I can´t explain to myself how is that this video has been watched by only 67,990 people...!
+ravagebang Maybe because it wasn't a big hit?
