At 1:44 the car drives through my Dad's shop front. Dad owned 62 and 64 King Henry's Walk, in Islington, London. 64 was trading at the time but 62 was being refurbished. The old shop front was demolished, rebuilt for filming, and then rebuilt properly afterwards. The ground floor was also strengthened to take the weight of the car. Bonus for Dad. Brings back a lot of memories of that time in London.
I remember walking home around 2am with my best friend, both of us singing this at the top of our lungs. Americans with hearts of Lothian. Good times - so many great memories just came to mind.
Just musically How under the heavens is it possible to squeeze so many different iconic riffs in just one single piece of rock music ? This is just great
Same in the USA - my best friend and I found a bar in Cincinnati Ohio once - looked just like the cover of 'Clutching at Straws'. New Years' eve...3am and I couldn't for the life of me figure out where he got a kilt. Good times.
Got into Marillion by accident. Saw them open for Rush mid 80’s and was blown away. To this day Misplaced Childhood remains my favorite album of all time.
Actually saw and met them when I was 14 on the Script for Scotland Tour. One of the girls at school came in class in ‘82 wearing the Market Square heroes square your badge - they’d played the local Uni. and I didn’t know. Had that 12”with Grendel on it. Same town one of their fans bought me a ‘Grendel’ cocktail pint for my 18th.. after assuring our favourite bar maid. Didn’t end well ;) Don’t drink now.
To be fair I don't think living next door to Frank Spencer did much for his health esp. his blood pressure. Another random fact. Glynn spent a large part of his later life in the actual Heart of (Mid) Lothian - Edinburgh.
used to play this album in the car full bore...Brilliant driving music ....Northampton to sat down eating breakfast in central Glasgow in 3 hours 45 minutes ..happy days
Now, that's what I call good music!!! There's something somewhat epic about this song. I don't know what it might be, is it the changes it has? It's got some wistful, mesmerising notes, too....
I think it's to do not only will the empowering melody (no minor harmonies but even plain major ones, for a change!) but with the homesickness psychology, the critical view of London & its self-conscious crowd, and the Ken Loach's aftertaste...
I just heard this tonight for the first time!!! Its the fact you hang on every word and line he sings because it has something to say!!! This is a brilliant album from a band vastly underrated. It is superior music the likes we will never hear again. Love the Jameson bottle on the shelf!!
Awe The Life Poster please don' tell RetroSound to grow up and be cheeky we both know what he meant. Fish practically made Marillion what they are and Marillion made Fish who he is and everyone that liked their music made them what they are. They were amazing then and although forgotten by a load of pop tarts today, they are to me even more amazing now. I played this to my nine year old son in the car and he was blown away. I was twelve when this came out and the nostalgia... Blows me away every time. Btw Great channels you both have so I have subbed you both.
Thanks for putting this up on you tube. Marillion is not big in the states. It should be. I think Steve is the best guitarist next to Lindsay Buckingham.
On the outskirts of nowhere, On the ringroad to somewhere, On the verge of indecision, I'll always take the roundabout way. Waiting on the rain. For I was born with a habit, From a sign. The habit of a windswept thumb. And the sign of the rain Rain on me!
Have you tried to count it? 7/8 followed by 5/4 followed by 4/4; This is unique in the world of "mainstream" music. I love them for doing impossible things and it sounds like it has to be exactly like that and nobody has to recognise
Damn right. They think its just a bunch of notes in a MIDI sequencer put through a virtual synth plugin, a shit ton of FX thrown on top and some annoying loud mouth rapping over it. I'm simplifying but not by much.
My best friend and I found a bar in Cincinnati Ohio once - looked just like the cover of 'Clutching at Straws'. New Years' eve...3am and I couldn't for the life of me figure out where he got a kilt. Good times. 😃
These older videos were so literal, everything had to match the lyrics. Hilarious when he sticks his Thumb out when the lyrics same "Windswept thumb" hahahaha
Dave the barman from minder also managed to get on the Paul young video for love of the common people. The black hearse reminds me of the madness video for it must be love.
"It's 6 o'clock in the Tower blocks"... Coincidence or not, but the only missing demo from the earliest days of Marillion was called "The Tower" and that demo had some 21mins of music with only some 8mins of lyrics on it. It was the basis for the 17mins Grendel-song. My guess is that Fish used some previously unused words like "windswept", "stalagmites" and lines like "From a sign" from The Tower to create Heart Of Lothian. Perhaps the musical arrangement of Heart Of Lothian was also an unused left-over from The Tower...
i like the another part which would come after the end of the video.... but they cutted for the clip version.... maybe if they extended a little, or acelerate, but anyway is good like this.... after all the purpose of the clip is to be comercial. Some people unlike the clip, why? is so cool to see them together having fun in the old times x)

Excellent!
Splendid story! Cheers, from Denver, Colorado.
hi there from india
This is fantastic!
God damn I love this song.
The Misplaced childhood album is a masterpiece.
The album is brilliant, love the way each song follows from one another, its as if the album is one entire song
Basically was. Fish wrote most of it on acid in one go in Berlin. Great album :) One of my favourite
I remember walking home around 2am with my best friend, both of us singing this at the top of our lungs. Americans with hearts of Lothian. Good times - so many great memories just came to mind.
Just musically
How under the heavens is it possible to squeeze so many different iconic riffs in just one single piece of rock music ? This is just great
And all in under 4 minutes too 👍🏻
It's frickin absurd!!!
Couldn't agree more! One of my favourite Marillion songs.
That's prog for you
It's called progressive rock
A truly excellent band - Fish was a legend
Is a legend... He ain't dead
He's still alive and touring this year
I am a Pole but feel I was born with a heart of Lothian
MARILLION MY LOVE 💝👌OŚWIĘCIM 👍🇵🇱🖐
I’m a Scot but I appreciate polski people…… love and warmth from a Celt. 🙏🏼🙏🏼☘️☘️☘️🥃
@@user-if6hf7ky1t Love you, brother!
Same in the USA - my best friend and I found a bar in Cincinnati Ohio once - looked just like the cover of 'Clutching at Straws'. New Years' eve...3am and I couldn't for the life of me figure out where he got a kilt. Good times.
Got into Marillion by accident. Saw them open for Rush mid 80’s and was blown away. To this day Misplaced Childhood remains my favorite album of all time.
I'm a 47 year old prog fanatic since I was 14 and I recently discovered this band. Wow. This song just kills me.
In their early years, they were thought of as the hottest property in the UK music eighties.
Actually saw and met them when I was 14 on the Script for Scotland Tour.
One of the girls at school came in class in ‘82 wearing the Market Square heroes square your badge - they’d played the local Uni. and I didn’t know. Had that 12”with Grendel on it.

Proud to grew up with and feel always the same ....
Progressive Rock ❤
I was about 10 when I got into Marillion, at 15 I saw Fish at the Royal Highland Show, I'm a Glasgow boy with a heart of Lothian!
RIP actor Glynn Edwards ( pub manager here ) 23 May, 2018, age 87.
Also pub manager in Minder Tv programme
ohhh pity. so saddd

RIP Glynn and the Winchester Club
Still gives me goosebumps listening to it. What a great song
2020 july
I’m 47 and still love this like i did heard first time 30 years ago
Extraordinary talented lads
Still get me goosebumps
Mam tak samo 🙂
Clearly one of the best Marillion songs! 🤘🏻
Misplaced childhood 1 of the best albums of all time. A sheer masterpiece that you never get in music nowadays
used to play this album in the car full bore...Brilliant driving music ....Northampton to sat down eating breakfast in central Glasgow in 3 hours 45 minutes ..happy days
Now, that's what I call good music!!! There's something somewhat epic about this song. I don't know what it might be, is it the changes it has? It's got some wistful, mesmerising notes, too....
Agreed. It's always been my favorite Marillion song.
Listen to the whole album (Misplaced Childhood) and it will sound more epic!
Gonçalo Botelho de Sousa Will *Try..🎧., or *Wave4Fingers alot.. 📈
I think it's to do not only will the empowering melody (no minor harmonies but even plain major ones, for a change!) but with the homesickness psychology, the critical view of London & its self-conscious crowd, and the Ken Loach's aftertaste...
@@ngs8022 Nicely put! Used to love listening to this when I was a kid, back in the 80s. So much atmosphere!
Must be 20+ years since I last heard this track. Forgotten how good it was. Must look for my old Marillion vinyls next time I'm at my parents house
I can never get sick of this song.
what a beautiful song - even all these years later
Hai ragione, é allegra.
Fish... The King of Scotland...!
Isso não é uma musica simplesmente é uma obra de arte meus ouvidos agradecem 😃
Still one of their best songs, that guitar is crying.
I always hear it in my mind ...when I drive through Lanarkshire into Lothian and. into Edinburgh from Glasgow
Ciao my Scottish friend..i'm italiano Milano,A.C.Milan team...and love Scotland
Rok 1985,miałam wtedy 15 lat🙊wspaniałe czasy, piękna muza Marillion tylko z Fishem
Grossartig. Das waren noch Zeiten.....ich möchte die Zeit zurück drehen!!!❤😊🙋♀️🙋♂️🖖😻
Absolutely brilliant
I just heard this tonight for the first time!!! Its the fact you hang on every word and line he sings because it has something to say!!! This is a brilliant album from a band vastly underrated. It is superior music the likes we will never hear again. Love the Jameson bottle on the shelf!!
Gosh welcome - you have missed out 👍🏻
Scottish song,Irish whiskey.
I don’t know why I never heard of them until now, thank you Rick S. for turning me onto it. Really good gonna listen to some more.
Those were the days !!! I can go on forever !!
I wish you would. Because I could.
the best of days.....
adore this group!!!!
debra Edwards Hope so.. 👍😏
2019 and still excellent 👍
the old old times where Marillion were gods
The old times when they were Gods, and now, guess what? They still are!
Fish is Marillion.
Fish is Fish. Marillion is a band which Fish was a member of. He left 29 years ago. Grow up.
Awe The Life Poster please don' tell RetroSound to grow up and be cheeky we both know what he meant. Fish practically made Marillion what they are and Marillion made Fish who he is and everyone that liked their music made them what they are. They were amazing then and although forgotten by a load of pop tarts today, they are to me even more amazing now. I played this to my nine year old son in the car and he was blown away. I was twelve when this came out and the nostalgia... Blows me away every time. Btw Great channels you both have so I have subbed you both.
thanks a lot HipStar :)
wow, sudenly a year ago many old Marillion videos came out, great for me
One of the best Songs of Marillion and yes, the were nearly gods.
Fcuk's sake ! This video is heaven ! My favorite band, my favorite TV show Minder ?? Man, these WERE the days ! WTF has happened to the WORLD !!!
Simply Connected Much *appreciated 📺👋
"The trippers of the light fantastic"... Which other band has ever used this expression? ^^
Marillion were definitely top-notch at that time
m.th-cam.com/video/BTpR9n2UhbQ/w-d-xo.html
Procol Harum nearly did so in the first line of A Whiter Shade of Pale.
what a great song. never heard this one. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Milwaukee, WI USA
Hey mate ,listen to SUGAR MICE it's about Milwaukee
When that Steve Hackettesque guitar comes in, love it
This was on my playlist in the 80s - it still is.
And mine
Thanks for putting this up on you tube. Marillion is not big in the states. It should be. I think Steve is the best guitarist next to Lindsay Buckingham.
wauw that's a tough call i mean pf. . well maybe both quite different though but this guy is pretty damn iconic too .
What a tune! Absolute belter.
Best highway related lyrics ever.
Fish is my favourit singer of Marillion
O marillion é uma banda de excelentes cidadãos Graças a Deus que assim seja em nome da Ave Maria.
On the outskirts of nowhere,
On the ringroad to somewhere,
On the verge of indecision,
I'll always take the roundabout way.
Waiting on the rain.
For I was born with a habit,
From a sign.
The habit of a windswept thumb.
And the sign of the rain
Rain on me!
Amazing Marillion!
This is the first time I've seen this version of the video. Good to see Glynn Edwards (Dave from Minder).
Al Mal I also remember him from the film, Zulu.
jasonpp1973 And Get Carter. Apparently he died recently, RIP.
David Williams Yes..,😥, *confirmed by his 'ZF's.., some magnificent *obits 💻*online 👍🌟💌
Wish I grew up during the 80's, everything just looks much simpler then it does now 😔
It really was. Even the 90s feels much simpler times compared to today.
Very
Have you tried to count it?
7/8 followed by 5/4 followed by 4/4;
This is unique in the world of "mainstream" music.
I love them for doing impossible things and it sounds like it has to be exactly like that and nobody has to recognise
Isn’t it 5/8? I’m not 100% but I’m pretty sure
@@danali1942 it’s 5/8 definitely
Love iit seen them 6 times…...
Matched it! :) Forcing me to stop now, grrrreat song
El mejor álbum del que tengo memoria, una pieza maestra!
Fish. He must be Peter Gabriel's brother from another mother. ❤️
I wanna go home to Scotland soon. I am so homesick I live in Kent but I will always be a Sottish Lassie.
Great band great album misplaced childhood, kids of today don't know what music is.
Damn right. They think its just a bunch of notes in a MIDI sequencer put through a virtual synth plugin, a shit ton of FX thrown on top and some annoying loud mouth rapping over it. I'm simplifying but not by much.
Absolutely loved and still love this song and video
Misplaced Childhood album is thee album! :)
Thanks. Great memories.
Fantastic album.
Eines der schönsten Lieder, die ich je gehört habe.
My best friend and I found a bar in Cincinnati Ohio once - looked just like the cover of 'Clutching at Straws'. New Years' eve...3am and I couldn't for the life of me figure out where he got a kilt. Good times. 😃
fucking great song
die Guten Alten Zeiten! Damals hab ich Marillion noch verstanden - heut zu Tage tue ich mich da schwerer
These older videos were so literal, everything had to match the lyrics. Hilarious when he sticks his Thumb out when the lyrics same "Windswept thumb" hahahaha
Nice cameo from John Otway at 2:50 and 3:00
The lead guitar and synths feel like a cross between Rush and Genesis at the time.
The goosebumps get bigger every time ...this is clasic fish ...no fish no marrilion
Still one of my best albums ever weed and music was better back ago.
Diese Musik hat mich beeinflusst...Als Neubauten noch neu waren,,,
I really, really love this song so much
How I love ❤️ this song 🎧 What a power of Love 💗
Forever excellent.
Brings back memories
Not of lot of songs Remember Me times gone like this One..oh God ...time runs!
Marillion que bandaaaaaaaa

Great song & love the video.
sounds like HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN F.C
1985, when aspect ratio's were 4:3, and music was still good...
marıllon fısh tıme very beatiful
♥️🐟.
Merci. 🃏.
Absolutely classic
And you can't go wrong with DAVE from minder
Excellent! Many thanks. 3 min 1/2 of concentrated inspiration, à la Beatles, with a Ken Loach's aftertaste!
Goosebumps time!
Pure class
Dlaczego kiedyś ich nie lubiłam. Właśnie sie zakochałam w tej muzie.......
i like the another part which would come after the end of the video.... but they cutted for the clip version.... maybe if they extended a little, or acelerate, but anyway is good like this.... after all the purpose of the clip is to be comercial. Some people unlike the clip, why? is so cool to see them together having fun in the old times x)
Great song and video

CLASSIC HARD/PROGRESSIVE ....MUSIC TOP
Non mi vergogno e dico capolavoro assoluto!
