Always been a big Marillion fan. Loved this song but had an idea it was about Kay Lee. To hear the back story properly is fantastic. Good Times. Great to see Fish. 👍 Thanks.
I have always been fond of this song, even now it is a super song. but now that I know this, the story behind this song, Wowww Now I know why that always hit my hard. I still play it often, together with Don Henley - The Boys Of Summer 1984
I couldn’t write this any better. This is exactly the way I feel about this song, and this video. I’ve always loved loved loved this song, so heartfelt, so raw, so relatable.
Nick Horton. Lyrics must have been at least. My friend’s mum surprised him by singing it to him, word for word back when it charted. She was Irish and told him she knew it from when she was a girl. Maybe a trad song after all. I was really surprised to hear that too.
This was the first song of Marillion I've ever listened to. Knew just a small part of the story behind it. So now I know the whole story and got to know a little bit more of the Fish of the present day. Have no words for it, other than "thanks!". This has been part of my life as well for so long now and Ivalue it more each day (along with !ots of other Marillion songs).
My brother bought Misplaced Childhood when it first came out & I fell in love with the band. Script is my favourite album, although Grendel is the best song. I've not been as keen since Fish left. He was an amazing poet & Marillion are lost without him imo.
I would agree, but I don't under rate them. Childhood is an amazing album, but I prefer Script and Fugazi. Grendel is the most amazing song Angela!! I love it.
Best 6 minutes and 4 seconds ive had in ages. I used to always sing this on Karaoke and to hear how the song came about is wonderful. I never knew the background to it. Remarkable, heartbreaking and so sad, yet heartwarming for Fish to get closure somehow, and to know that Kay got so much pleasure from knowing it was herself in the song. Thank you for the upload. Happy new year.
"Kayleigh" is just one of those songs that stands for a moment in time, and when it comes back you go right to the source of those days as if it was yesterday.
When I was a soldier in a Scottish Regiment this song was played and played over and over in the barracks. Thing is nobody ever got sick of it like you normally would when a song is on constant replay. Listened to it alone one evening on my tank in Canada as the sun went down over the prairie, some moments stick with you forever BECAUSE of a song. Well done big man! Thank you! And for Sugar Mice too!
That album affected me SO deeply. I was 18, almost 19 (I'm 54 now), had my heart really broken for the first time. And SOOOOOOO much of fall and winter of 1985 was spent listening to this album under headphones in the middle of the night, drunk and/or stoned, crying myself to sleep. Will never be able to listen to any of those tunes without being transported right back to that time and that shitty apartment on Westland Avenue in Boston. So my eternal thanks to Marillion, and to Fish.
It was 1987 when I saw Marillion at a concert in Poznan in Poland, ten days earlier my daughter was born. This concert tour was not ordinary, Marillion came to the country behind the iron curtain. I will never forget the "forgotten sons" performed by Fish.
I love this song so much! This was a huge hit in Chile, where I’m from. To this day, they play this song on the radio there. It’s considered an 80’s Classic. What a Beautiful story told by the man himself. I didn’t expect such a sad ending 😢
Great guy great musician brilliant album loved it then,still love it, I am Turkish and I bumped into Fish a d his mates in a pub near Carnaby street at my first trip abroad, was able to explain to him they were huge in Turkey, still have his autograph from that day.
I named my daughter after this song...spelled the exact same way too. I fell in love with the song and the name right away. This was a great album too!!
Ironic that this came up in my feed after hearing of the passing of Neil Peart (RIP) Saw Marillion in 1985 as the opening band for Rush which was the first concert I ever attended. They played the Misplaced Childhood album start to finish which I wasn’t familiar with but knew “Kayleigh” from MTV. It was a great performance and I became a fan. Rush wasn’t bad either😉
Same here only MSG opened for Rush when I saw them but I do remember this song from MTV from Marillion Kayleigh so strange how time speeds and now we are looking back so to speak...
Jeez, one of the most awesome tunes ever even more awesome now we know the story behind it, it will change the way I listen to it now, songs are just not written and performed with the same passion now, great clip and story Derek, looking healthy, great to see you are doing well.
I've lived in and around Aylesbury for most of my 65 years and as I recall I first saw Fish perform in a pub somewhere - I really can't remember exactly where. I've seen Fish perform more than any other artist, a truly great showman. I still watch old videos of the band but only stumbled on this video this morning - what a story. Fish did a market square session in Aylesbury a few years ago, if I was ever lucky enough to bump into him then a packet of lettuce seeds and a glass of scrumpy are yours sir - a small token of my appreciation for the years of great music you have given.
Fish is a true legendary songwriter, tunes that still to this day make me tear up and sound better at every listen. Forget the mainstream most wealthy bands, Marillion were and still are the greatest band in my eyes.guitar riffs at their best..
That whole album is amazing! Love it! I got to see Marillion when they were touring for Misplaced Childhood, and they played it live beginning to end! Loved it!
Listening to this is just like the first time all those years ago, takes me back to a golden decade of music. God I miss the eighties. What a tragic ending to this tale though.
Named my daughter after this song in 85, never knew that the girl was real and called Kay Lee , ironically my wife was a Lee, Fish was a gardener so am i, and we were born 4 days apart.
That's beautiful. I have not been blessed with children, but I always said that if I had a daughter I would name her Kayleigh. If I had a second one, I'd name her "Naima" after the John Coltrane tune (which was named after his first wife).
This is the most heartfelt song I know, it always gets me very emotional, but hearing the backstory told made me outright tear up. Great song, real emotions, love it.
Hands down one of my top 5 albums of all time it was just genius..I didn't play it for 10 years but still knew every word when I replayed it..masterpiece !
I love the album, love the song, but every time I hear it, I miss Lavender attached to the back of it. Because that is the love song he tried to write for her.
MrGunboat78 Jeez ...you made me fill up then friend. You posting those lyrics took me back to an old wound, and old time. I heard the song in my mind. The strange comfort of melancholy Marillion.
Wow only 40 years after that i know the inspiration for one of my best albums. The album have now a new meaning. Thanks for this documentary. Quite emotional.
One of the most beautiful, yet bittersweet songs i've ever loved. So great to see 'Fish' here, and hear him commenting on this incredible song. Thank you!
I've been a Marillion/Fish fan for many years, Fish is a lyrical genius. Misplaced Childhood is a fantastic album but such a sad story. I will think of this sad story every time I play this album. RIP Kayliegh.
@@blueblood3108 My daughter's nickname is "Mimi" ((screaming mimi)), and I'm the only one who calls her by it, and she insists that her friends call her by her complete, and proper name :)
I’ve always loved this song very very much. There always was a sense of something lived, something real. And to hear and see the real story behind it, a slice of their lives. His dilemma, her disappointment probably, their estrangement. And then meeting again after a number of years. Her getting cancer. Them being there for one another in difficult times. Then she being so touched by the whole album, realizing after all these years what she’d meant to him. And then passing away. Life can be like that. Novels and literature are, fundamentally, based on human experience, isn’t it?
Always loved this song. Thought the girl in the video was stunning. Funny she’s his 1st ex-wife. Good he got closure, but what a sad ending for Kayleigh. Great they connected in the end and that she got to listen to the album and know what she meant to him.
I remember when I first came upon this song when I was listening to an 80s song compilation, and this one just stuck out to me. I just started high school too, and to this day, this is my favorite song
Marillion! What a nice surprise and great choice. I was fortunate to see them live, back in the day. I have always been a fan of this dynamic, melodically moving and tight band!!
Saw them a few times, including a fan club gig in Aylesbury. Made my night when they finished the gig with Margaret with Bruce Dickinson helping out on vocals
Part of my growing up, Marillion with Fish were the very best, sublime lyrics, great musicianship and this just finishes it off, the story of heartbreaks, so sad.
Thank you Fish for this heartfelt story and how the song came about. I woke up several mornings ago in dreamland singing it and it's led me to this video. They say to follow your dreams, so there may maybe some unresolved experiences here for me to figure out whilst listening to the song. RIP Kay, God bless you.... South Wales UK
I discovered this song just a few years ago and since then I listen frequently, cause this song is captivating, beautiful & simply one of my favourites. Thank you for this background story . This song gets under my skin EVERY time. God bless Marillion.
I always felt there was so much passion in the song it had to have a strong backstory. As a teenage boy at the time I was more aware of the angst than anything else. To hear the story in full, including how Kay sadly died, is heartbreaking and very moving. Lovely how she got to identify with the song in the end. RIP Kay.
I think he had gone as far as he could in a band, his solo career is criminally underrated with some astounding albums.... Internal and Raingods spring to mind.
Post Fish Marillion is amazing. Steve Hogarth had such a difficult job replacing Fish but he did it incredibly well and Marillion are still going strong.
Steve Hogarth is different but equally fantastic. Try watching the live performances of Neverland, Easter and The Great Escape and come back and say that Hogarth's vocals haven't made an incredible contribution to the band.
Always loved the music. I was working in a Radio Shack in Springfield, MA, USA about 1990. I helped a man with a distinctly Scottish Brogue. I asked him if he was Scottish, and he said, "Aye," and asked how I could tell. I said, "Well, l listen to a band, and I don't know about the rest of them, but the lead singer for most of their albums was Scottish. But he is no longer with them." He asked, "What band is that?" I said, "They're called Marillion." And he said to me, "Aah. 'twas a sahd dee when Fish left the bahnd." I had never seen Fish without the makeup, but thinking back, he sure sounded like that guy. Now I'm wondering if it was him.
The song is so "1985" and i love it. Having only discovered it about 2 years ago, i lived the 80's and never heard this song so it was a pleasant surprise for me to run into it by chance right here on youtube. I mostly listened to the radio in them days so i dont know why i never heard this, then i realised it was not released here in australia. Great song , it should've been released here.
I heard this piece first time in the Radio. I felt in love with this piece and there are so many memories with it. This is a song for the people who where born between 65 and 70. A lot of younger people hear this song- it's wonderful but in combination with this decade in the 80's it's unforgettable. Thanks Fish, thank you so much for your work.
Excellent and sad.. it just goes to show don't ever let your true love escape you! True love will always endure, thanks Marillion I loved this song I listened to it so much I wore out the cassette in California♡
An amazing song and an amazing, authentic album. It literally reaches in and touches you in the heart and the mind. Dear Lord above I miss the days when real, talented people made real music that lasts generations.
That was an emotional story there from Fish the master poet/songwriter. At the same time, I am also a little happy for him that he could make such an album with his mates and give it to the person he loved (Kay Lee) and express what she meant to him. To get that feedback from Kay Lee proves one thing- sometimes being in love doesn't necessarily mean two people have to be together in a physical sense. True love transcends that and music captures that quality well if made in all sincerity. I'm glad they both felt that way.
This is hands down the best vdo you guy's made or at least seems the most compelling and amazing story to me. I thoroughly enjoy your vdo's and think they belong to this special corner of the Internet that reminds you how awesome the Internet can be. Thanks again and Keep it up 🤗
I so love that song and never knew the story behind it! So cool! So sad! Misplaced is without any doubt one of my all time favourite albums! Thanks Fish!
I was nauseated by this song playing dayly, almost hourly on the radio back then. Now..I really appreciate it... Comes with age I guess..and broken relations..huh.
Omg what a story. A classic beautiful song but I had no idea it was about his ex, and Tamara on the video. Yet consumed with heartbreak. I'll never listen to this song again in the same way. To be cherished forever.
I've always always always adored this song. Now the backstory has taken it to EPIC levels. May you rest in peace, Kay.
Always been a big Marillion fan. Loved this song but had an idea it was about Kay Lee. To hear the back story properly is fantastic. Good Times. Great to see Fish. 👍 Thanks.
I have always been fond of this song, even now it is a super song. but now that I know this, the story behind this song, Wowww Now I know why that always hit my hard. I still play it often, together with Don Henley - The Boys Of Summer 1984

I’ve always loved loved loved this song, so heartfelt, so raw, so relatable.
Rest well, Kay.
One of the best songs from the 80's, or ever.
Totally agree.
Indeed, it is a masterpiece, lyrically and musically.
It was a cover.
@@buddybeetle No it wasn't.

My dad LOVES this song! My name is Kaylee......enough said 💗
my dad loved this song as well..ive got a brother called kaylee
My Dad LOVES this song! My name is Dave......and I’m a girl.
Kaylee Case amazing
Wrong spelling.. doesn't count.
@@terryfookwitt Like a boy named Sue by Johnny Cash?
Big man mountain Scotsman with a good heart.
"Kayleigh" stood apart from the usual pop fodder at the time. It was my gateway to Marillion, and will always give me chills when I hear it.
My mother named me after this song, knowing the story makes it mean so much more. I just wish mom were still here to hear the back story with me.
Marillion are the most under rated band in rock history, both with Fish and H. Thanks for the music guys.
This was the first song of Marillion I've ever listened to. Knew just a small part of the story behind it.

U sir, are right
They are only for connoisseurs! Rock Dinos! And that sound. WOW
A very underrated artist
A wordsmith.
Saw them in Aylesbury where they started. Fish worked in Employment Office
Truly.
Oliver Kent Yup, I saw there first ever gig there.
No

The story behind this song is really moving. It can make you cry... Still it's bittersweet.
This, folks, is where music gets Real.
Ok boomer
"Kayleigh" is just one of those songs that stands for a moment in time, and when it comes back you go right to the source of those days as if it was yesterday.
Kayleigh is a song that very much taps into the collective unconscious, as Carl Jung would say.
Never knew there was such a strong story behind the song
Wow I am speechless....this is so beautiful and tragic. Rest in peace Kayleigh. You represent every girl in the world who was the one who got away.
When I was a soldier in a Scottish Regiment this song was played and played over and over in the barracks.

'85 was a great year for music. This song always takes me right back there... _"Do you remember?"_
Too much lately. Loads of stuff I had buried and forgotten
Ironic that this came up in my feed after hearing of the passing of Neil Peart (RIP)
Saw Marillion in 1985 as the opening band for Rush which was the first concert I ever attended.

Wembley Arena? I went to 4 of the 5 nights.
Can't imagine the awesomeness of that night.
What a privilege it must have been to witness such huge monsters of pop/rock live! I wish I was there too!
NO WAY??? Has Neil passed away??? :(
One of my favorite songs.
To hear the story behind it brought a tear to this 58 year old man.
Fish....what a poet. One of the best lyrical writers of all time. Misplaced childhood is an amazing album
No, " Fufgazi ".

One of the greatest songs ever written IMO. Absolutely love Fish as a singer songwriter, such an incredible wordsmith.
This is the most heartfelt song I know, it always gets me very emotional, but hearing the backstory told made me outright tear up. Great song, real emotions, love it.
Im born in 98 and had a girl named Kayleigh in my class. My mom told me she's probably named after a song
Thats how I got to know this song

And the lyrics to Fugazi and Incubus prove your point. :) True poetry.
Thomas Pfluger for sure and they are my two favourite tracks also Chelsea Monday’s lyrics are awesome. He’s just a genius 👍
I have watched almost all the videos in this channel. And, this one is one of the most heartfelt. Marillion also came out as a wonderful human being.
I was working the night shift in a supermarket when I first heard this. It will always stay with me. Thanks, Marillion for the memories.
Excellent upload! Genuine sincerity from Fish. beautiful song! Glad to see he's growing vegatables these days. Good man :)
Love this clip. Great seeing Fish and hearing more about the song. Misplaced Childhood will always have a special place in my (chalk) heart ❤️
Final shot just got me.
My daughter was born in 91 , Kayleigh now has a wee boy 👍
The album is lyrically and musically magnificent. Love it still.
There are thousands of girls of a certain age named Kayleigh !
One is my daughter. Named in commemoration, and born out of love, for sure :)
I wonder if there are thousands of boys in their mid-thirties named Grendel?

Absolutely amazing story. I always loved the song, when I heard it on the radio. Excellent video!

Everytime he has sung this on stage must break a part of his heart now she has gone on in front. Great guy to Shaw a pint with.
Songs like this really make me miss the 80s. Good times.
Marillion's first 4 albums are incredible, they had such an amazing chemistry, such a shame Fish left, oh what could've been.
There's both amazing Marillion and Fish solo to explore after he left!
I think he had gone as far as he could in a band, his solo career is criminally underrated with some astounding albums.... Internal and Raingods spring to mind.
Post Fish Marillion is amazing. Steve Hogarth had such a difficult job replacing Fish but he did it incredibly well and Marillion are still going strong.
Steve Hogarth is different but equally fantastic. Try watching the live performances of Neverland, Easter and The Great Escape and come back and say that Hogarth's vocals haven't made an incredible contribution to the band.
Marillion also did amazing albums with Steve Hogarth like "Seasons End", "Brave", "Afraid Of Sunlight", "This Strange Engine" or "Marbles".
The easiest listening song as an introduction into Marillion before diving in to the more melodramatic complex stuff that I got to love so much!
Always loved the music. I was working in a Radio Shack in Springfield, MA, USA about 1990. I helped a man with a distinctly Scottish Brogue. I asked him if he was Scottish, and he said, "Aye," and asked how I could tell. I said, "Well, l listen to a band, and I don't know about the rest of them, but the lead singer for most of their albums was Scottish. But he is no longer with them." He asked, "What band is that?"

Beautiful story for a Beautiful song. 👌🇨🇦
Loved the song way back then and love this video. Thanks for the memory. God bless and God rest Kayleigh’s soul.
This is hands down my favorite song of all time. I still get goosebumps every single time I hear it.
The song is so "1985" and i love it.

I’m Aussie but a big progger and Genesis fan,Misplaced Childhood and Clutching At Straws ,classic records.
Not many people can put a song like that together. Shear class with real meaning
I heard this piece first time in the Radio. I felt in love with this piece and there are so many memories with it. This is a song for the people who where born between 65 and 70. A lot of younger people hear this song- it's wonderful but in combination with this decade in the 80's it's unforgettable. Thanks Fish, thank you so much for your work.
Brilliant days. What brilliant days. Thank you big man.
Great interview and wonderful to hear the story behind the song after all these years. One of the best concept albums of all time. Thank you, Fish.
I love this series with 80's-90's stars.... thanks for bringing that @Top 2000 a gogo
Awesome song from my senior year in high school.
Thanks for the story
Big fan!! great story... Good to see the big fella again!!
Excellent and sad.. it just goes to show don't ever let your true love escape you! True love will always endure, thanks Marillion I loved this song I listened to it so much I wore out the cassette in California♡
An amazing song and an amazing, authentic album. It literally reaches in and touches you in the heart and the mind. Dear Lord above I miss the days when real, talented people made real music that lasts generations.
Not to undermine my manhood but I just didn’t seem to keep my eyes dry at the end...very emotional.
Me too, and i'm 100% bloke.
Same
Nothin' wrong with that...
Well, " this is something I can never do" T2.
You're a man not a machine.☺
Jean Noel Sandrazie that’s what I have to tell my wife a lot too 😌
Excellent track! Great to know the story behind it , though a very sad ending. Thanks for the vid!
I watch this clip every time it appears in my feed. Such a profound few minutes of video that make the song so much more meaningful in so many ways.
Truly is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. It still makes me cry.
Thank you.
I listened to it today for an hour or more! Brilliant energy. Brilliant story! Thank you!
That was an emotional story there from Fish the master poet/songwriter. At the same time, I am also a little happy for him that he could make such an album with his mates and give it to the person he loved (Kay Lee) and express what she meant to him. To get that feedback from Kay Lee proves one thing- sometimes being in love doesn't necessarily mean two people have to be together in a physical sense. True love transcends that and music captures that quality well if made in all sincerity. I'm glad they both felt that way.
This is hands down the best vdo you guy's made or at least seems the most compelling and amazing story to me.
I thoroughly enjoy your vdo's and think they belong to this special corner of the Internet that reminds you how awesome the Internet can be.
Thanks again and Keep it up 🤗
I so love that song and never knew the story behind it! So cool! So sad! Misplaced is without any doubt one of my all time favourite albums! Thanks Fish!
I was nauseated by this song playing dayly, almost hourly on the radio back then.
Now..I really appreciate it...
Comes with age I guess..and broken relations..huh.
Are we growing up, or down?
I felt the same. You can appreciate it now, because it's not being rammed constantly in your ears.

@@saxmidiman El crecimiento del entendimiento y la conciencia es interno, sería como agrandar el ancho de banda 💖😉
Fish very talented bloke I must say aswell an amazing band
This song still kills me, even more so now. Thank you.
Omg what a story. A classic beautiful song but I had no idea it was about his ex, and Tamara on the video. Yet consumed with heartbreak. I'll never listen to this song again in the same way. To be cherished forever.
Glad I seen this as it's 1 of my favorite songs and the sadness behind the fact that she's passed away must have hurt him also.
What a masterpiece that album was, is, and always will be.
Still love this song I was 10 when this was released one of my all time favourites xxx
