Isso é que é música de verdade, com músicos extraordinários, letra profunda, sombria e ao mesmo tempo tão poética, não é atoa que essa é a melhor banda de todas as galáxias!!!!!
This is my band since i was 12 years starting with misplace Childhood. Now i am 51 and about 100 marillion and 60 fish solo live visits further. This song was always so emotionel but after the last fish concert in holland in Maastricht for 3 weeks it is so so sad. I loved you reactio n
The whole album is incredible. I bought it in 1987 on the day it came out and it blew me away. In my opinion the best album the band made with Fish. I thought the band had died when he left but Steve Hogarth came in and added a new dimension to the band. If White Russian resonated with you I’d give the Hogarth era song “Gaza” from 2012 a listen. Absolutely haunting and thought provoking too
Fish, the Scottish poets touring for the last time before retirement in the Hebrides Islands, was in Antwerp a few days ago. Incredible solo carrier too!
Very good reaction! You understood the message of the song. One of my favorite songs of the Fish era. Even after 37 years, it still grabs me like the first time I heard it
Holy crap! Such a great band with Fish! You should listen to the entire album because it’s a concept album. Yes, dark. They were a modern mix of Genesis and a few other bands. Excellent musicians. And the lyrics were always so amazing, poetic, symbolic and metaphorical. This album is about alcoholism, among other things.
It was released in 1987 on the album "Clutching at Straws" It was dealing with the shift politically in the western world to the right and the dangers of allowing the rise of Neo-Nazism
I bought this album when I was 15 in 1987 . And to this day I think it's the greatest album of all time. Listen to it in its entirely it will blow your mind . Thanks for reacting to it . Listen to Grendal also if you want a story , it's beowolf from the side of the monster . A 19 minute masterpiece . All the best my friend ✌🏻❤️
British prog band. So many great bands have become forgotten in time. Marillion still has their fans, but it’s a fairly small fan base. I usually don’t care for prog but Marillion seems to fit in there quite nicely somehow.
Ah you found Marillion at last. Fantastic band so many great songs. The Fish era by far the best. This album is amazing from start to finish. Chelsea Monday is brilliant, try The Web, (original, not remaster) also from Script… you’ll see how Stephen Rothery ranks amongst the greats, Gilmour/ Lifeson/ Blackmore/ Rhodes, etc. awesome soloist Jigsaw, Sugar Mice, etc. Fish’s lyrical brilliance shines through too.
Great reaction. Marillion with FISH was a great era, but Marillion with STEVE HOGARTH is also fantastic. Please hear: the great escape, dry land or waiting to happen!
Here's a more personal song featuring Steve Hogarth the current vocalist, it's called "After Me". Not something you'll see recommended a lot, but it is a song that will boost your spirits.
@@juggletom Nobody? The last albums have not only received good reviews, but have also sold quite well. They are playing in larger venues again, including three times at the Royal Albert Hall
Their early big epic was "Grendel", based on the Anglo-Saxon myth story. Most are more personal & social observations. The "Misplaced Childhood" album was a concept one based on Fish's childhood, inspired whilst on a 10 hour acid trip. That was also their biggest selling record, going to No.1 in the UK and reaching Platinum status.
@@SaeedReacts. I have met him, at the bar at the Marquee club in the 80s. Funny enough, he was offered roles in two big Scottish based films "Highlander" & "Braveheart", but missed out on both due to touring commitments.
Great album and song, but I do have a problem with the new elements put into the song in the new remaster you listen to here. Lots of small changes in the remasters from Steven Wilson. I don´t like my favorite songs changed 😂😊. Anyways, keep these Marillion reactions coming!
Hi Saeed, sorry to go off point here, have a listen to orchestral maneuvers in the dark, OMD for short. Started of as an 80's synth band, listen to Joan of Arc and you'll be hooked...
Interesting factoid: Lead singer Fish got his nickname/stage name from drinking like a... Plus they are still touring and selling out to 8500 seat venues along with Marillion Weekends in the Nederlands, Europe, Britain, US ocationally. More Marillion!🤐
No he didn’t, he got the name because when he worked for the forestry commission and staying in digs he was only allowed to have a bath once or twice a week, so when he did he spent hours in the bath hence the name of Fish. He’s on his farewell tour as he retires next year and says he will revert to just using his actual name of Derek, I’m going twice.
He, She, Their: Got that from an associate of Derrick's in an interview (did I get the spelling wrong as well🤬). Been a huge fan of both Marillion and Fish, while being lucky enough to have seen them both. I appreciate hearing your version because up till I heard/saw interview, I never gave it a thought, and to be perfectly upfront, Fish was a heavy drinker and just recently cut down; quit for a couple months with his wife.
@@hemispheres6942 I got my version from him, he had said it many times and did so again on his Fish on Friday live videos he did from lockdown till very recently on FB, as they are archived on his website, you can probably find it. There is no disputing he was a drinker but he's Scottish, we all are (or were in my case).
Marillion, both eras are great. Still a massive fan from the eighties to now. Great live band.

A beautiful song by them is Estonia…studio live with string quartet.
Another is Sugar Mice in the Rain.
Thanks for the recommendation.

you know this record is great, great. There are no bad tracks on it. There aren't any. Like all records from the first to this record
Masterpiece from this album.
Fish, the Scottish poets touring for the last time before retirement in the Hebrides Islands, was in Antwerp a few days ago. Incredible solo carrier too!
I was just in Antwerp a week ago. Small world 😀
Definitely want to learn more about him.
My all time favourite band! Thanks for reacting to this!
Very good reaction! You understood the message of the song. One of my favorite songs of the Fish era. Even after 37 years, it still grabs me like the first time I heard it
Without doubt one of the great lyricists and storytellers of the last 40+ years. Fantastic album
@@drumvc8060 definitely one of my favorites.

My favorite band for many years, still in my top 3. Mainly with original singer Fish.
Same, when the end of the year is near and Spotify drops their wrapped overview, Marillion is always in my top 5 bands listened to through the year.
The whole album is great. More mature than their earlier albums I think. My favourite from the band.
It was released in 1987 on the album "Clutching at Straws"
It was dealing with the shift politically in the western world to the right and the dangers of allowing the rise of Neo-Nazism
Appreciate the thought involved in the reaction. A like is coming every time you react to Marillion, regardless of early or later eras.
Great song from their 4th Album (the last with Fish as the singer)... So there are 19 albums left to hear! Enjoy!
By the way i suggest "Estonia", the version with their friends from the orchestra. Dealing with the sinking of the ferry. Powerful and intense Lyrics.

We don't get any better at learning from history. Great drumming from Ian Mosely on this one.
If you liked this then "The Last Straw" from this album is a must

Really enjoyed this song. Hope to explore some more. Thanks for watching.
@ oh yeah please 🤩
Wow, brings me back to long forgotten memories. The theme is still pretty actual today unfortunately
It definitely is still relevant today unfortunately.
Such a good song. Great band. Remember when Kayleigh first came out around 1985. They got my attention then
Here's a more personal song featuring Steve Hogarth the current vocalist, it's called "After Me". Not something you'll see recommended a lot, but it is a song that will boost your spirits.
the band of my youth. Thank you for this gem. Nobody listens to them any more, Its a shame.
@@juggletom Nobody? The last albums have not only received good reviews, but have also sold quite well. They are playing in larger venues again, including three times at the Royal Albert Hall
I'm travelling to Oslo from New Zealand to see them in 2025 with everyone else.
Try Neverland or Ocean cloud from Marillion
The best song from the best album. Brilliant!

Must learn more about Fish. Sounds like an interesting individual. Thanks again for this request. Great song!

This album is fav from Lars Ullrich from Metallica.

Fish is an incredible poet. His solo albums are highly recommended for their superb lyrics.
