The Sky Above The Rain
She loves him
But she doesn't want him
She used to burn for him
But now that's changed
She knows he knows
And she says it isn't so
What else can she say?
But when he reaches out
She turns away.
When he talks about it
She says he's cruel
So he apologises
Counts his blessings
What else can he do?
She used to gaze at him reach out with her toes to touch him
She still loves him
But she doesn't want him
And in her eyes, he's so much less
Than the light heart she met
The laughing boy she used to know
He feels ugly now, and the ugliness, creeps around inside him
Until he really is.
The animal paws at him, gnaws at him
The silver-back wins over him
And in his pain, and bitter shame, he resents her.
The one who loves him
They said they'd never lie
They'd learned their lessons from the last times
They said that they could talk
They could always talk
Deceit stirs in them now for reasons good as well as bad
But he wants so much
Not to live another lie
To be free and high again
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain
Remembering the blue sky above the pouring rain
He's trying to see the blue sky above the rain
He's flown there and he's seen it, been up there lighter than air, floating in the miracle
But he can't fly until she wants him
He can't burn until she sparks him
He's dressed in lead from toe to head
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain
Remembering the blue sky above the rain
Maybe they'll talk
Soul to soul head to head heart to heart eye to eye
Rise up to that blue space above the clouds
Where troubles die
And tears dry
Heading West and climbing
In that place the sun never stops shining
The rain's below us.
Don't comment... just listen. I'm not able to write what I fell listening to this masterpiece (among other masterpieces). Do you know what I mean? If yes, listen as a gift to your soul and like and leave a heart as a gift to these incredible musicians. Marillion is wonderful, Steve is wonderful, Fish is wonderful, all people who appreciate this music are wonderful. Peace, love. music, God. All that is precious to you.
ahhh..this is one of the greatest songs ever written about love, deceit, and hurt in relationships and no one else but Steve Hogarth beautiful voice could ever sing it better. ....it´s stays with you long after its finished playing.
With the coming of "H", the band reached another level of music !!!
Oh my God.... the song moved me before I read the lyrics..... and then I read them. I do not cry easily, but anyone not moved by these lyrics is dead inside.
This song is masterful. While it delves into the pitfalls of relationships, it acknowledges that love and lust are not always hand in hand. But, if the love is strong, there is still hope of finding a way to fix things and to rise above the rain.
Finally got to listen to this with no interruptions, simply stunning. I've never shed a tear listening to a song before this one.
When emotions are so perfectly expressed in words and song, we are in presence of pure genius. Marillion should be acknowledged as such.
A truly wonderful song, a masterpiece
Heartbreaking lyrics, amazing melody & WOW that vocal. Perfection.
Walked 8 miles and took in the album from start to finish (a few times!) and was in tears...this is so f***ing brilliant.
A gem of a song, such moving lyrics, another great Marillion track
I have been a marillion fan for a seriously long time now and there is no words to describe how good this is. It's frightening how good this song is. In my opinion I don't think I'll ever hear better from them.
+Stuart McNeil Perfectly put, Sir.
This is an anthem of urban poetry as a depiction of the deepest, purest human feelings...An overwhelming, unstoppable driving force leading to tears of joy and moving comfort when realizing how 10:30 minutes may go through whatever so-called unreachable high wall you'd built in the past tearing it apart and down for the good...That's amazing. Thanks Marillion
Not a good idea to listen to this when you're already crying... I think this album is one of the greatest they've ever done.
The most gorgeous voice I've ever heard.
The end of "Sounds..." is magic. This song is wonderful! Thanks Marillion for your talent for life and music.
En 1983/1984 surgieron dos grupos totalmente deudores de Genesis, Yes... : Marillion y IQ.
"Script for a Jester's tear" y " Tales from the lush attic" eran, respectivamente, una maravillosa, impecable, extraordinaria muestra de talento y categoría musical y compositiva.
Han pasado 34 años... Y los dos grupos han evolucionado con enorme calidad, y sus composiciones " recientes " ( me refiero desde 2000, por ejemplo ) mantienen ese espíritu y capacidad emocionante de sus inicios.
Hay quien añorará la etapa histriónica de Fish... No hace falta ser tan obcecado: si escuchando esta maravillosa canción no te conmociona el alma... entonces es que no entiendes nada... :-)
Muy cierto
Esta canción es un himno, como muchas de las canciones de Marillion, toca las fibras del alma, long life Marillion!!!
Ce groupe me stimule au plus profond de moi depuis mon adolescent. J'ai aujourd'hui 46 ans est je me régal toujours autant à écouter leurs albums. Merci à eux pour celà ...
Brilliant! This song makes me cry...
Didn't think that they could top "Neverland"...
This is the kind of music you hope for your whole life to hear someone make
Maybe they'll talk
Soul to soul head to head heart to heart eye to eye
Rise up to that blue space above the clouds
Where troubles die
And tears dry
Heading West and climbing
In that place the sun never stops shining
The rain's below us.
Marillion: the soundtrack to my life :) Makes me smile to see folks talk about H as the new guy or talk of the Hogarth Era. Marillion has had Steve now longer than When Fish was in the band. Much longer. Since before I was born and that was 20 something years ago! :O I love the mellow tones of the latter Marillion, to just slap on whilst the rain pours outside. I was a kid when I first listened to this band. Now I have my own kids pattering about me whilst the songs still echo the halls.
i cried when they played this live in leicester...emotional
Brilliant brilliant track, the stand out track on STCBM, I know a lot say Gaza, but it does not hold a candle to this song, one of the greatest songs by Marillion
As much as I loved Fish and his career is still wonderful. There's a reason why the rest of the band kicked him out and received the remarkable talents of Steve H. Marillion paints the pictures of all my dreams and visions. True musical genius.
Ditto Andrew. Tired of the booze, ramblings, and all the negative effects I'm sure.Everything happens for a reason.
Kicked him out????? ROLFOL....You truly are clueless
Like I said. Love Fish and have all he's ever done. His drunkeness got him booted and Marillion is a much better songwriting, recording, performing, working, professional, band since the departing of Derick Dick.
ummm.. he did not get booted.
We toured far too much and always in the same areas to the point of overexposure. We should have taken a year off. I should have made my solo album and got it out my system while the others followed their projects and we could have come back in '89 with a new and fresh Marillion album. We all needed a break from each other and to recapture our private and personal lives away from the band. We needed to grow as people not as a band. The management wouldn't have had the income though and my offer to resign was readily accepted.
I was stunned at the departure of Fish, but in retrospect (as a grown man rather than a spotty teenager) it worked out for the best. My cousin bought the single 'Assassin', with the proceeds of strawberry picking in rural Perthshire. We sat down at my late father's record player and listened to that single until we knew every second of it by heart. I think Marillion was the first band I adopted as part of me. The music just became interwoven with the fabric of my youth. Saw you guys live twice before Fish parted, and so glad of that. Fugazi is STILL one of my goto albums in times of strife. As a fan I can say I have never have been disappointed in any of the paths and output produced by former or current Marillion members. Genuinely amazing musicians, and it annoys me a little that most people only know Kayleigh & Lavender as those two tracks don't reflect the virtuosity and depth of Marilion. The above track is...sublime.
This is more than just a song, it is a true masterpiece, a heavenly experience that lifts the spirit to places so High (above the clouds)...it could be interpreted not necessarily as search of human love but as our continuous search of happiness and spirituality (whichever credo we have) and that place where the Sun is always shining and the rain is below us…amazing lyrics
Without doubt this band covers every aspect of emotions.as all their songs take you to some time in your life.that you can clearly remember..brilliant.to say the least.
Dan
Perfectly expressed..Marillion are the masters of depth.. evident and overwhelming for all those that feel it..
I have one word to describe the song, FANTASTIC.
This song reminds me of a very hard part in the past, no one can pull on my emotions more than Marillion, a fan for 20 odd years because of my lovely mum playing them since I was a child
This song is so amazing .. his voice these lyrics.. wow is all I can say !! ❤️
słuchać tego ,słuchać ,słuchać ...jedna z ''pereł '' muzyki
Beautiful song - loved Marillion since 1986, thanks.
Robert Andre mother
if you think this is boring then you are not listening to the lyrics .... OMG ! .. sheer class
Sharing this to the one you have ever loved the most to later watch her leave and fade is quite the very core of this poem...I think I was blessed...She took my heart full of love and now her memory lies everywhere
Marillion es inmortal, puro sentimiento y lírica, the best!
beautiful song, one of the best on the new Marillion album... really wonderful thought sad
This is a brilliant song and the lyrics are inspired. I have no words....
Terrific, 10 minutes of sensational vibrations
wow..totally stumped at just how beautiful this track is.way to go marillion,nice to see you back again.
Steve Rothery is a good guitarist overall, but his playing on "Sounds" can be summed up in one word: tasteful. Not too much, not too little, not too loud or soft, just perfect every single note on the entire record.
Everything he plays seems effortless, yet so full of emotions it's incredible.
Thanks Marillion for this great song, long life Hogarth & co. !!!
She love him ....but she dont...want him...
❤❤❤
That short guitar solo around 3.26" is simple but so amazing...
Thanks Marillion for all those years with wonderfull music you''ll made
una pieza de arte!
Gracias marillion por tan bella música!
This song means so much to me and i'm not one to show their emotions. This is pure and straight from the heart. I felt this one.
One of my favourite Bands right from the start...Fish and Hogarth era's...Absolute Musical perfection...Thank you for posting this x
10 ans déjà... Toujours aussi planant et fort bref marillionien...
I heard Marillion in 1978 didn't love their music until I listened to them in 2017. Fantastic love it
indescribable! very deep lyrics.
Everything adds up to one.....Marillion are true gods of their craft.
So good... reminds me of how I felt on my very first listening of Pink Floyd when I was a teen. Same feeling of wow... amazed
Adoro está música

hogarth and wilson
Beautiful song...
Je ne peux pas écouter cette chanson sans pleurer à chaque fois... Elle est belle si belle, mais elle me tourmente.
Semplicemente splendida Adoro questa musica
A magnificent, moving piece. This album is one of my favourite with Steve Hogarth, after two more or less disappointing albums.
I have no idea why this song is not up there with Neverland, This Strange Engine, The Space..., all the classics. No clue.
I love this song. Bravo!
Sheesh..'Maybe they'll talk.....' Sobbing like a baby..only Marillion can do this!!
AMAZING - Marillion really can get inside you , naking Sounds that can't be made
can't wait for Montreal !!!
I will remain silent on this issue except that HMARILLION came to be at a few critically remarkable points in my life
Wow! That brought a lump in my throat.
beautiful song !!!!
Love it ; one of the best poems from Marillion Seen them live in Enschede Holland dong the song while voices were as bad as rain. But sound was strong as ever! Peter. Lochem
.... heart and soul... i lost 2 years with this song....
Marti Kos, I know where you are coming from. One of the best Marillion tracks I've ever heard. Hang in there.
Esta canción es increíble, sublime, eriza la piel. Que buena banda por dios..
Stunning. The parallel life remains...
Tato, dziękuję, że dzięki Tobie jestem kim jestem, a taka muzyka mi towarzyszy
