- From Recital Of The Script, the song which has allowed Marillion to skyrocket among the progressive bands back in the 80's. A Personal Favorite, which is greatly interpreted by Fish.

April 2024 is anybody else listening to this masterpiece ?
ich hör mir dat schon an!!!
Here is another one. And sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one who gets tears in his eyes when listening to it.
Yes! Love Marrilion!
Yes since I was young
Eu tbm estou
Still one of the best and most beautiful of all Marillion's songs. A real work of art. I simply LOVE this music. Marillion is top-quality rock!
Vollste Zustimmung!!!
Fish's poetic, unique delivery about his breakup with then-girlfriend Kay is a such a deep, touching piece of brutally honest male self-pity that every guy can relate to in their hearts. Fish genuinely wore his heart on his sleeve and that's why his lyrics and delivery touch so deep.
Both Marillion and Fish were never quite the same after he left.
they are just as good if not better but i think we get emotionally attached to someones voice to its hard to accept when it changes.
2021 and this music is still absolutely magical. It never gets old.
Absolute genius ......... doubt it will ever be bettered
@@TheWallerbyboxer With music now? No way. Marillion is the only band that can make music this good.
Totally agree , i still listen to the live album ‘ the thieving magpie ‘ all the time
never... always returning to this. Never know if music goes trough heart or heart leads to music
Genius!l
there is a reason 3.4 million people have viewed this it is truly a piece of musical artistry musical performance and song writing
Просто это наша молодость и наша музыка...классика жанра.
Will Fish ever realize how deep these songs are engraved in our hearts? How we love every second of this music and every single word pronounced? How we used to fall asleep listening to his songs and play them again as soon as we woke up? The best years ever, the best songs ever. I'm 34 now and I can tell you: the present years are nothing compared to those 20 years ago. Thank you, Fish!
45 now mate! But I agree. This is other-worldly great.
I am 53, I feel the same way, these songs will be forever in my heart, I once loved you Fish!
agree with everything! 39 yo . Poland.
Marillion was a big cult in Poland, nowadays is pop everywhere, funny to the point of disgusting
I'm 55 and still love it
Scotland's greatest gifts to the world, Whisky ... and Fish!
fish real fish and vodka.plus gin
Totally agree with you though would add Alex Harvey, Dan McCafferty, Zal Cleminson, Stuart Adamson and of course John Wark.
Scotland's greatest gifts to the world, SCOTLAND
Ma sono inglesi non scozzesi
Hey, hey, hey, where do haggis, deep fried Mars bars and this week's rugby win over England enter the playground, then?
I'm proud to have grown up with such bands and i feel sorry for the young people who only listen to ephemeral music. I'll be 60 and I'll be 20 again with this music. thanks for that!!!
I'm agre with you my Friend ! Marillion is thek BEST "absolutly progresive Rock!
Marillion siempre me ah facinado y veces tengo que escucharlo pero
es tan complejo y lleno de armonía que no logro escucharlo.
Pero siempre eh considerado que es una banda de culto . Esto es arte
I agree, born in 85.. my generation and who came after can't understand how deep music can be.. this is from the best years ever for music
For me Fish was Marillion. Listening to this I'm 14 again.
Paul Brockwell
I love this song...
Means a lot to me this song... as it did Fish. Superb.
youre right. fish is marillion, marillion is fish
Paul Brockwell pienso igual que usted...
No Fish no Marillion, simple as...
This song will always be as one of the best prog rock songs ever composed. Lyrics , composition are exceptional. Unique song that touches everybody's heart and soul.
I still sing this Album from beginning to end whilst driving, next year is Fish's Farewell tour apparently and I shall be there. Simply Love ❤ Marillion when 🐟 was their vocalist......Music of a certain calibre stays with you a lifetime, this will be something I will value until I cease to be.... Wonderful
2020. And still here I am, in the playground of the broken hearts
I’m 51, mainly a heavy metal fan and I’ve just got into this album. Can’t stop listening to it in the van-loud. Prog brilliance
My soul is full of emotions......what a song!!!!
This is not just a song it's theatre, like an act or a scene in a play .. theatre for everyone not just the 'elite'... yes! so good!
Like Gabriel before him, and the ultimate emotional theatre performer Meat
Verdade amigo, conheci essa banda há 27 anos atrás
That album completely changed my life back in 84.
me too and seeing them play the apollo in glasgow
Trying to get Marillion on several vocal analysis channels here. So far no luck.
Come on you all. This album and this live performance are legendary.
The lyrics, the music, Fish. Epic songs that really have meaning. True musicians.
That voice - shivers up the spine, even hearing the cracks coming in. His stage presence, the audience in his palm even before they all knew the lyrics. Man with a mullet and no costume and you cant take your eyes off him. Magnificent magnetic FISH.
Dude destroys two guitar solos in 2 minutes and has close to no spotlight. Big time respect man
I have all the Marillion's albums in vinil, but only with Fish, Marrilion without Fish or Fish without Marillion are like a ocean without fishes. Salutes from Brazil 🇧🇷
🥂
RICHTIG SO MARILLION OHNE FISH WAR DANACH NICHT DAS GLEICHE FISH WAR EIN EINZIGARTIGER PERFORMER UND SÄNGER.SEINE THEATRALISCHEN AUFTRITTE UNERREICHT.SUPER 80ER SOUND😊😊
Absolutely brilliant, i saw Marillion on every tour. Even walking 10 miles to see them. This song always brings a tear to my eyes. Without Fish and Marillion there would be no Dream Theatre. Love and respect to this incredible band.
Marillion is by far the most amazing band I have ever heard. The intensity of their music truly portrays the reality of life that is lived with passion in every way. Every song reaches right for my heart & reminds me that life is love. And love is why we live.
"Can you still say you love me?
Can you still say you love?
Can you still say,
That you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you LOVE me?
Do you love me?
Do you LOVE me?
A Jester's Tears"
Thank you for making life more beautiful & complete.
I LIKE ALL MUSIC,AND LYRICS OF MARILLION !♡♡♡☆☆☆☆☆For Ever i think! ♡bye !
J adore🏩
Marillion is one of the greatest bands ever. Theatrical voice of Fish, soaring guitar of Steve Rothery and atmospheric keyboards of Mark Kelly - so tasteful mix
Thank you Fish
The compilation of lyrics ,composition and interpretation are unique.
Feels like he is just living the song and the song living in him. Just amazing.
This is utterly insane. Sooooooo good.
For me, Steve's Rothery guitar solos are so trippy, he plays with such much feel and emotion. He selects each note of the solo to make it unforgettable.
tagah1 i agree mister Bronson.
Steve Rothery and Nick Barret are the guitar of Neo Prog.
A solo with Rothery strangely resembles a Pink Floyd song, it's She Cameleon on the Fugazi album, in fact the whole song.
@@jean-claudecollier7493The solo in "Sugar Mice" has a lot of Gilmour in it. But that's never a bad thing, at least in my book.
I have always loved this song. It's a masterpiece. Marillion is definitely one of my all time favorite bands. I wish Fish was still with them. He is a brilliant lyricist and singer.
John, I'm talking to you from the future 😱 far out!!👋 ⏳️
The emotion in his face holy shit
This songs makes me relive (as a female version) the time when the love of my life left me... It's been 13 years already, the one and only man I really loved.
Fish becomes what he sings. And he is so underrated as a poet. He's magnificent.
I love your name and picture
@@theunknowncommenter3444 Thank you very much
hes not underrated! marillion is one of the best prog-band ever btw was and is
l agree.He's the best poët ever
I never realised how brilliant Fish was until recently,what an utterly fantastic charismatic frontman he is. Steve Hogarth has done a wonderful job to fill such vast boots,I've seen them 4 times with "H" at the helm and he never fails to deliver.
Fish and Steve Rothery working together during all tunes makes this band one of the best ever!
I tu masz rację chłopie wymiatają
Fish is genuinely an amazing singer. I'd say his the best singer that has ever lived. There's that certain type of melancholy and beauty in his voice. Just so... Incredible.
Peter gabriel was doing this back in seventies with genesis now he is the best singer I have heard
@@andrewjones4098 I never got into Gabriel Genesis but his solo work was better IMO.
@@Thirdfish Yes, same here. I originally thought Fish was Marillion's first singer, only found out later about the Peter Gabriel era. But I prefer the Fish era.
@@stephenmcinerney9457 Peter Gabriel was original singer of Genesis not Marillion.
You're nuts.
I saw this wonderful band with my son at the Brixton Academy in the mid eighties a truly wonderful night my son later died of cancer this bring back a wonderful memory
So sorry for your loss mate, keep that great memory in your heart and mind, I truly believe we all meet up again when it’s our time to pass. Love and peace from Liverpool uk ❤️
Can you imagine almost 40 years ago , my father bought a cd -playe and the first cd I played was Marillion : what a noise explosion of pure music and clean basses - what an experience
Fish sings with so much passion . Never gets old.
In 2019, from 2007, only 2.4 mln?
When I was teenager, these lyrics were one of the best in the whole world of music.
And they still are, while I'm almost half century.
Saw Marillion many times in the early 1980’s as a young teenager. Especially the first 2 albums had a profound influence on me. This song particularly is just poetry from heaven. Will see & say goodbye to the great man on his final tour in 2025. Bless you Fish.
This is a masterpiece , FISH there is only one. God bless u Dad for showing me these real piece of pure art .
Masterpiece xxx
I am getting addicted to this clip... And I think I'm not alone...
I am dying when i am listing to this song . I am from Poland. I am 1974..............
Listened to this when I returned home from the falklands! Great band,Cheers Fish and Marillion, you guys got me through.
This lyrics are so deep, I cry everytime...
He looks like a true actor singing, entering into his character...
Fish was the man, such emotive commitment, such focus.
The band, the poetic angst, the performance, sublime. Thank you so much Marillion. 🙏
I just started getting into Marillion during these shitty times. Put on this album and went for a walk during a rainy autumn evening ... there are no words to descrice that experience.
I was getting into Marillion around July-August 2020 when shit wasso...dull and wow the memorable moments.
I wish I knew about this band sooner!
Hope you're doing allright.
Amazing how Peter Gabriel influenced all progressive rock. Fish and his makeup reminds me of the Genesis of the 70s. Amazing live performance of a progressive rock masterpiece
And he hated being compared to Peter Gabriel
@@carolinagalaz551 Fish was as much as sincere as Gabriel was pretentious ...
@@francesco5581 what did you say about me
Peter Gabriel as Brittannia person. Amazing.
Regards from Rio de Janeiro. Brazil
There's no denying the influence but Fish was always singing from the heart. Gabriel was singing from the mind. I know which I prefer.
all live no playback THAT´S Art .. delivering a message, emotion and heartpiece. That´s what´s ment to be Artist... He opens fully and gives it all. No trix, no cheats.. all them.. and him.
Thanks dad, i'll miss you, this is the biggest treasure for me, all your music.
I didn't get turned on to Marillion until 2000. I was browsing and saw the artwork on cover to "The Thieving Magpie" and thought that they looked like a cool band and was curious. It didn't take long for me to get hooked. I love how this band is so talented to constantly be changing up their rhythms and melodies without missing a beat. They are not afraid to use unconventional beat numbers in their measures such as transitioning from 3 beats, to 4 beats and often using 5's and 7's which take an amazing amount of talent. The only other band that is talented enough to do that is the band Rush.
Steve Rothery is one of the best guitarists I have ever listened to. His greatest strength is his ability to absolutely mesmerize an audience with his guitar solos. I would rank him right up there with Alex Lifeson from Rush. Mark Kelly is amazing on the keyboard and with his help, Marillion is probably the most melodic band ever that ever lived. The bass and the drums are so on point that they are practically dancing with each other.
Last but not least is Fish. He is probably the most unique singer out there. If you judged him on singing ability alone, tone, range, control, stability, etc..., Simon Cowell would probably run him off the stage telling him he's awful.
Now before you start throwing stones wait, and you will see where I'm going with this. Because there is something else that Fish brings to the table which is far "greater" than his singing alone. It is his energy and passion and masterful lyrics. He is an incredible lyricist. His lyrics are so filled with such a poetic style and imagery that he could put some of the greatest poets to shame. Fish's singing is theatrical and full of emotion and passion. When he sings he pours his very soul out the the audience with each syllable and every note. He carries such charisma and passion, that even if he misses a key, he still connects with the audience.
Now if I had to compare singing ability alone, Hogarth is a far better singer than Fish. However with all the other aforementioned things that Fish brings to the table, I believe that songs such as "Script for a Jesters Tear", can only be done by Fish! It wouldn't be the same with any other singer.
I'm losing on the swings..I'm losing on the roundabouts...how can I remember all the lyrics to this in 2021...great album..great track...if you first encountered this when it came out...great band..and Fish was Marilillion...and Steve was and is the most underrated guitar man ever...
I love the intro with the LP Cover showing the Jester, the central portrait with the whole members of the Band and after the old TV showing us the great live version ever. At the end, Fish throwing up their broken heart to all of us. Amazing version!!!
Yes, I was an idiot to sell the LPs back then and buy the CDs instead.
Wow, poetry made music! I recall my mom hated my all out loud music until I played this record: I still see my mom opening her door door asking: Who's playing?
🤘🎼1986 in Offenbach /Germany!!!! With the Opel Ascona Car from my parents!!!
Same concert here , but different car
Imagine hearing this live
... OMG
I was given my first ever stage pass to photo a major band at this gig. Having thumbed a lift to London from South Wales, it was during a period I spent out of work and was developing my own film and printing . Memories I had to sell a few of my hand printed photos outside gigs just to get say a T shirt. Fish saw to it I got a stage pass and had some of the backstage r food and beer. I won 3rd prize in the 1983 National Eisteddfod with the resulting photos from that night. Thanks Fish & band
Brings me back to my teen years immediately.
Brilliant music and brilliant lyrics. Good old Marillion.
Old Marillion - yes.
Good old Fish
Saw this Marillion play live in 1983 in Birmingham,
Still my favorite album, every track deserves to played at max volume "11"
One of the greatest songs ever! I keep coming back to Marillion time and time again, and the music is so fabulous it makes me wanna cry every single time! Still perfect!
Fish, you great artist! You are the best! You were only 25 years here....so good.
A timeless song. I will never forget when I discovered this band. Fugazi was just launched. Form then on, they remained in my top bands ever. The Fish years left some stonemarks, and this is one of them. Magnifically performed here by all the band
Makes my hair on my body still stand up after all years .xxx
Me too,Greetings from Vienna Austria
One of the best songs that ever was and ever will be
Absolutely hipnotic performance from Mr. Fish.
To jest najpięnkniejszy utwór na świecie o utraconej MIŁOŚCI i nic tego nie przebije!!!✋✋💟💟.Kocham MARILLION!!!.
Just simply Amazing!!! I am glad in 1984 I got a chance to see my two favorite bands (Marillion & Yes) in Toronto.
I never get tired of listening to it for 32 years
Lovely to watch such a passionate man. He’s gorgeous 🌟
Fish is, was & will always be Marillion, Nov 87 was my moment to pay reverence!
The best interpretation of a song ever in the entire history of music
Just brings all the memories come flooding back. A truly epic era, fuelled by an imaginative generation...a galactic performer and group....awesome..
these guys know exactly how to make music to move the heart.
The first 4 Albums with fish are great ! have not delved into the Hogarth era yet. I really loved the early fish years.
+jeff bauer Check out Brave, Marbles, Sounds That Can't Be Made, and This Strange Engine in no particular order, then feel free to move to the others.
+djg I will , but there is something about that very space and time 83-84 that I thought was magical with fish.
@@jeffbauer3425 t
i borrowed a Vinyl from my Friend back in the 80' and listened to this over and over again thinking about my Love when i was 18 or so. Now am 48 with a 2 and half years old kid and it still is the best shit !
Can't stop listening and watching....best version ever
Marillion for me ended when Fish left, they were just insanely incredible during this era., im 100% OLD line up, the BEST and still even now can't be touched.
👍👍👍
Yes. Seasons End was ok, but it wasn't the same after that.
I completely agree!
🌌👽👍🧠
True story, bud...
Totally agree
Absolutle wonderfull song .. Scotish Pearl ... forever, great's from Poland ❤
i bought the DVD of this gig for my dad for Christmas just got around to watching, turns out he was there, i'm so jealous i love marillion and i'm only 16.
Holy God, what a voice! What a band!!
I love Script, and pretty much anything Fish has ever put out. So many great beautiful songs with Marillion and on his own, and amazing lyric writing... a true poet.
Takes me back to my final years at school. Saw them many times in the early 80s. Fish is the poet God of my teenage days.
Music of my youth. I can't even tell you how many times I got lost in this melody. It wasn't the first song I heard from Marillion but it's one of my favorites. And to think I bought the LP because I liked the cover.
"too much too soon too far to go, too late to play.. the game is over"
simply LOVE IT ! :)
Amazing i havnt listened to Marillion in a long time, iv'e seen them 2 times live and they were OUT THERE ON THEIR OWN, nobody come close to what they achieved , simply superb, and Fish was iconic his voice is iconic , his lyrical masterpieces were exactly that, and this song apart from Grendel were class and never will be outclassed. Progressive rock at its BEST
A divine and sublime number and performance from Fish and Marillion. I have heard a million times and it is superb every time! Never gets old😊😊😊
the last 2 and a half mins of this song are my favourite moments of any song ever written!
Marillion,indescriptible!Et la prestation de Fish...J'écoute depuis des années et il me donne toujours autant de frissons et d'émotion.MARIILLION C'EST AVEC FISH!!!
Emotional Suicides....every day a bit more....
thnx for having MARILLION with FIsh in my former life
Happy 40 Birthdays Dear Marillion 🎶🎶

Will always love this ❤❤❤❤
Grandiose masterpiece!
Chills.... that night in 83 was incredible. I don't remember how many shows on that tour I went to. The Hammersmith nights were just amazing. As stupid as it seems now, if felt like WE had made it! Having followed them from small college shows to this. When they played Grendel as the encore, the place went insane.
Fantastic in my opinion. an unparalleled poet!
