I got a Guide to Marillion CD for free, maybe 7 years ago, listened a little and decided “Naaah, not for me”. Then I gave them another chance, bout the Marble album and was totally blown away. I am just 71 and have stocked up on their post-Fish albums.
Well I was a massive Marillion fan back in the Fish days, and was totally gutted when they went their separate ways. I wasn't overly impressed with the early Hogarth/Marillion era, and I stopped following them properly just after Brave, which was admittedly their best album with 'H' up to that point. I'd bought a couple of random CD's in the years that followed but never really gave them any serious airplay, so last year I decided to trawl TH-cam for 'Estonia' and spent the rest of the day listening to some utterly mind blowing tracks. I can honestly say I was totally blown away by how brilliant they'd become! Each song I played was like finding a buried treasure. The Invisible Man, Neverland, The Other Half, When I Meet God, Ocean Cloud, Sky Above The Rain, the list just goes on and on! I've since bought every CD & DVD I can lay my hands on and I just keep discovering more hidden gems! I haven't listened to any other artist for over a year now and I even managed to get to see them Live in Manchester last year for the first time in 20 years, and the hairs were up on the back of my neck for the entire gig. Roll on the next Marillion Weekend! All that is really left to say is "Thank You Marillion!!!"
George Smith It's funny as my entry was quite different. I saw them open for Rush with Fish at the helm and thought they were god awful Genesis wanna be's. That had more to do with Fish and their early writing. Fast forward years later and my guitarist turned me back onto them. So glad he did. Everything they've done with H is utter brilliance (with the exception of the earliest albums with him). Now they are one of my favorite bands and Steve H one of my favorite performers. Glad I gave them another chance and wasn't stubborn. PS, still can't stomach Fish era stuff. Real hokey, but that's my taste.
I totally agree with you. I never listen to any of the Fish era Marillion nowadays. Marillion are in a completely different league nowadays. Here's hoping their next studio album blows my socks off!!! :-D
LOL, it most certainly did Bonnie! Every time I listen to FEAR, I hear something different that I'd not heard on the previous playback. There are moments in every track that give me intense pleasure, and really get the hairs up on the back of my neck! It is the Marillion album that just keeps on giving! :-D
Hope you've managed to see them since you posted this🙂. I never got into Marillion back in the day when i was a teenager...i didn't like the stuff i heard from them in the uk charts.Then 2 years ago ( aged 55!) my boyfriend took me to one of their gigs in Manchester and i was really impressed( i still am).Thought Steve Rothery was great(Still do... even more now I've heard his own band!) We just went to the Marillion weekend at De Montford hall (April 26-28🙂🙏) It was GREAT...Loved it...really into Marillion now🙂.We drove 111 miles... not far compared to other fans there,alot of whom had flown in from all over the world! There was even a guy there from Japan and a guy from New Zealand!!People from 23 countries in total!!! Amazing,great atmosphere....so much to like 🙂🙂🙂🙏. So I truly hope you have seen them by now...if not I'm sending All Best Wishes that you get to soon...🙏🙂
I do like to hear Steve Hogarth singing!!! As much as I like to hear Fish... Both of them are great. Thanks GOD for Marillion... World would be a sad place without them!!! Cheers!
True artists/musicians. Depth and emotion that is such a rarity. Such beauty in our time amidst the ugly crap. It gives me hope and joy. Thank you to everyone in the band. FEAR proves that you aren't selling out!
I can not explain the feelings that Marillion brings out in me..... Goosebumps all over me! I just introduced my husband to the band and he hasn’t really like what I listen to since we’ve been together but he took me to their concert in Montreal and it blew his mind ! My children grew up listening to Marillion. My son’s band The KINECTED gets inspiration from the Marillion! NO OTHER BAND LIKE IT! ⚜️🖤✡️☮️♋️
Fish is great. Hogarth's great. What's the fucking problem? As Steve (choose one) said, Marillion should have changed their name when Hogarth joined. Then all this argumentative silliness could have been avoided. And I'm happy enough with Rothery and the rest of the band that I don't care who's singing. I like both of them. Switch 'em up. Have a reunion. I just don't fucking care.
possibly my most admired rock band at this moment, I read of them since the 80s and I have listened to them since then, in Mexico it was not easy in those years to get their albums, consider them great and I am not mistaken, stop following them a little after the departure of Fish, however I must admit I am amazed with the work of H, I consider Rothery one of the best, I hope to see him next January 11 2019 here.
Soy conocedor de la música exquisita y Marillion me lleva al éxtasis continuo y reverencial !!!! Melodía que traspasa el ama ,que siga la buena música solamente

Agreed i feel he and the whole band are so under rated, though i guess its no easy listening and also maybe if they where as mainstream as say U2 (they ought to in a way) dinamics would change so much it might be they are in a sweet spot, from those who grew up with Fish and all generations after new people do find them and are sold for life what a band.
Albums with Fish were beautiful but very "infected" by Genesis and the like, with H found their own style, they can not, but are unique and unmistakable, and live are fantastic, thanks for the post (I apologize for my English school)
Don't apologise for the lack of fluency - Your English is clear enough. You could apologise for the inaccuracy of asserting the early albums were 'infected' by Genesis. They're no more Genesis influenced than, say, this beautiful track.
@@babboon5764 It's not just Grendel. Garden Party sounds quite Genesis-like. Forgotten Sons is almost a straight-up rewrite of The Knife. And when my mother heard Lavender she thought it was a Genesis song.
Pipa, Sadly, No.... Tore the meniscus cartilage in my left knee two weeks ago, playing basketball. Ended up having surgery last week. Had to cancel plans to see them at House of Blues in Los Angeles. I live in Phoenix, so that was the closest venue for me. I'm starting to feel a bit cursed.... Quite kind of you to check in though. I'm not giving up hope. I do have friends in London, so I may just have to jump the pond. Cheers!
Cette musique s'adresse directement à Dieu,celui de l'harmonie universelle qu'on rêve de voir apparaitre un jour sur ce monde,leur oeuvre est hélas introuvable maintenant ,comme tout ce qui est Mesiannique......les majors company ne savent que distiller le fiel de la cacophonie ! qui peut me dire comment avoir en CD ou DVD les titres phares de ce groupe ?
This is great but a different band to the one with Fish. Saw him play whole of Misplaced Childhood, it was amazing. The vocals on this really drift towards Janes Addiction - who I massively love, but I don’t see this as the ‘Marillion’ of my misplaced childhood in the 80s
I love many of their albums but I think they don't always get the dynamic nuances right in the studio. This song is a good example of how a live arrangement can transform a song to another plane.
Still enjoying Marillion at 83 years old !!
So as I - but I'm "only" 53. I started listen to Marillion when I was 15....
I got a Guide to Marillion CD for free, maybe 7 years ago, listened a little and decided “Naaah, not for me”. Then I gave them another chance, bout the Marble album and was totally blown away.
I am just 71 and have stocked up on their post-Fish albums.
I cry every time I hear this… I’ve lost so many people 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🥰🥰😂🥰💯🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️Too many…🙏❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹
Me too. Beautiful song with thought provoking lyrics. Take care.

Everytime I listen to this song I feels like closer the heaven, almost touching the clouds...
God knows how many times i have seen this band live over the years. I can't recollect them all.... Well over 10 times I reckon
Best version of marillion’s best song
Marillion are simply a gift to all who enjoy them !
Rothery's is just amazing
This is A beautiful song for today and your Birthday
My first marillion weekend.......great.....lovely music.....magnificient Marillion
I've spent the evening on a Marillion epic fest. By Christ they've written some right skin tinglers and soul stirrers.......
@Welsh Simon Double hell yeh🙂
@Welsh Simon 😀😂🙏
fantastic Steve Rothery guitar solo at the end !!!
I do like to hear Steve Hogarth singing!!! As much as I like to hear Fish... Both of them are great.
Thanks GOD for Marillion... World would be a sad place without them!!!
Cheers!
One thing to say like I do for all there songs just brilliant brilliant brilliant ♥️♥️♥️
i can listen this over and over, it takes my breath away and makes me feel mesmerized!! love it!!
The best version of a genius song "When I Meet God" by Marillion. ;-)
True artists/musicians. Depth and emotion that is such a rarity. Such beauty in our time amidst the ugly crap. It gives me hope and joy. Thank you to everyone in the band. FEAR proves that you aren't selling out!

@@aliciaphillips17 That's a smart band name. It works all along the continuum of being related, to we are all one.
emotion....pure emotion state!!!!!!!
Marillion is a fantastic group and When I Meet God is my favorite song. Thank you for bringing us so much pleasure!
Gosh damn. ROTHERY is a master. Definitely one of the more underappreciated guitarists.
I LOVE THIS BAND...
Me too!!!! SOOOOO MUCH!!!!
Luciana Veronese thank you..♡
One of their best!
Jeden z najpiękniejszych utworków zespołu i mój ulubiony!
Pozdrawiam wszystkich fanów Marillionu!
oj dziecko dziecko...
Pozdrawiam Michał
this is all what I need today...this is my comeback to Marillion...so many years without Them...thanks,D ;-)
Saw them in Boston on the 16th of last month..awesome show. May have to start saving for one of the weekend festivals...
This song is one of my everlasting favourites.

yyyyyy
Brilliant opinion! That's it - nothing else
I love Marillion and the name and Fish and Steve Hogarth
Steve is one hell of a frontman and I remember Fish as being very arrogant.
Reb Short - This sounds like an argument for Van Halen..
True live materpiece live marillion forever thank for all peace 🥰🤔🤩🥰
Einfach genial diese Stimme und die Umrahmung durch die Musiker.
HELLO RAMONA, I SEE YOU LIKE GOOD MUSIC , SALUTE!!!
+ramona keyssner und das beste ist die Gitarre von Steve Rothery super gut
One off the best bands ever and fish amazing singer and steve amazing

And if the bottle's no solution
Why does it feel so warm
And if that girl is no solution
Why did she feel so warm
And if to feel is no solution
Why do I feel
Why do I feel so tired
Why do I feel so broken
Why do I feel so outside
Why do I seem so blind
I'm so sick of feeling
It's ruined my life
If living rough is no solution
Why does it ease my mind
If looking back is no solution
Why are we all
Nothing but children
Children inside
Why do the Gods
Sit back and watch
So many lost
What kind of mother
Leaves a child in the traffic
Turning tricks in the dark
What kind of God?
I crawled around inside myself
It was a long way down
It was a mine and it was mine
And in the darkness
I saw a perfect mirror
Floating in space
When I meet God
I'm going to ask her
What makes her cry
What makes her laugh
Is she just stars and indigo gas
Does she know why
Love has no end
But it's dark-angel friend
Tearing women and men
Slowly apart
Stain
Don't do that
Scream
Don't do that
Fail
Never do that
Never do that
I want to go out
Don't do that
I want an adventure
Just stay..
I want
Just stay in
I want to make love
And if the bottle's no solution
Why does it feel so warm
And if looking back is no solution
Why are we all just children inside
And if to feel is no solution
Why does the whole damn world feel so broken
So outside and out-of-sorts
A perfect mirror
Floating in space
Waves and numbers
But oh, such beautiful numbers
And oh, such waves..
Thankyou for posting the lyrics 🙂🙏
Marillion einfach nur genial
Simply breathtaking!
Génial 🥰
Rothery is not human, he is a Guitar god
Agreed i feel he and the whole band are so under rated, though i guess its no easy listening and also maybe if they where as mainstream as say U2 (they ought to in a way) dinamics would change so much it might be they are in a sweet spot, from those who grew up with Fish and all generations after new people do find them and are sold for life what a band.

fabio filippi Marillion is nothing like Genesis as I have listened to both for more than 45 years. They are totally different.
@@babboon5764 Well, somebody who doesn't know that much about prog could easily mistake early Marillion for Genesis. Especially on the debut album.
@@progmeup Damn - Yes - I totally forgot about 'Grendel'.
Beautiful. But *very* close in one section.
@@babboon5764 It's not just Grendel. Garden Party sounds quite Genesis-like. Forgotten Sons is almost a straight-up rewrite of The Knife. And when my mother heard Lavender she thought it was a Genesis song.
Beautiful It helps my head.
Fantastic !
Beautiful.
Just first class. Amazing band writing amazing music. Say them in Edinburgh in 1996 and were just phenomenal!
Wow!!! A journey of awe!
Dios se pone contento por el tema,GOD BE HAPPY FOR THE SONG THE WE LOVE.THANKS.
Steve R is legend 💯…
Awesome Marillion!!!!
See you at the Marillion weekend in Łódź in 2017!!!
"Why do I feel so broken?" I'm so sick of feeling!
Impressionante!
Great post Arie! Tanks.....
J'adore!!
Sencillamente son GENIALES!!!
Great song

I hope they will play this song so brilliant in 3 weeks at Port Zelande.
Reiner Jablonowski Anoraknophobia is/was supposed to be the night one feature album, so it should have been played.
Magical Song...
I am glad I have Million in my life.
@ waitinginthepipeline...You are a Marillionare 🙂
Sing to the Lord, Creator, Redeemer and LOVE!
Ok, so it's got God in the title - don't get too excited, it's not an endorsement of your crazy religion/fantasy!
I did not say it did, now did I? Peace and love unto you.
No you didn't, but what you said was enough to make me despair. Peace and love to you - from an anti-theist!
Pete with the Ged double Rick. Totally awesome!!
Muito bom!
Are very good. Each song become better
sem duvida o melhor da musica-OBRIGADO A TODOS OS MEMBROS MARILLION
excelent
c'est trop bon... je m'évade.

Thats why i think there is no God except your self. This Song is more than i can say about Religion...
@Frampa take it easy, enjoy the music.
MITICO SEMPLICEMENTE MITICO UN ROTHERI DA URLO

8@8
This world is quite lonely, Marillion takes some of that away. 🕉♏️☮️
Easiliy amongst the most beautiful pieces of music created in the last 25 years.
Marillion is brilliant in the studio and on the stage. This piece is definitely one of the masterpieces of the Hogarth era in my opinion.
I love many of their albums but I think they don't always get the dynamic nuances right in the studio. This song is a good example of how a live arrangement can transform a song to another plane.
@@progmeup I agree. The ending here was spot-on compared to the album.
Mesmerizing and visceral, one the best bands today, I never tired to listening to them!
