Marillion are the hidden gem of rock music. Probably the most under rated band in history.

I do not think there is a singer who brings this much emotion, passion and effort into his art as much as Hogarth does. Fish was amazing, but I feel Hogarth has taken his art to another level. It certainly helps to be surrounded by incredible musicians. I never get tired of listening to Marillion.

Marillion is one of few bands that actually move people, and change lives.

"A bridge is not a high place, the 52nd floor, Icarus would know, a mountain isn't far to fall when you've fallen from the moon." And now I burst into tears

Yet another Marillion masterpiece. There’s just SO many to choose from

Best band ever. Originality, compositions, musicianship, emotional delivery - no other band comes close. They are consistently amazing live and have had no personnel changes since 1989.

That riff from Steve Rothery’s guitar. It rips my heart clean out. Best guitar solo ever anywhere by anyone ❤❤❤

The entangled melodies of Mark Kelly (keyboards) and Steve Rothery (guitar) on the last solo are just to die for

welcome on board sir , Marillion the best kept secret .

this is one of my favourite songs ever

Marillion Can break your Heart with splendor

I had the privilege of being at the Marillion Weekend in Lisbon this year, and I was absolutely fabulous. I love these guys.

Made me cry in first note! Boy I’m so weak!

Honestly, I've never heard a more emotionally expressive singer than Steve Hogarth. Just incredible.

One of THE most epic songs out there. It’s truly stunning. Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Steve Hogarth is in his mid sixties now and still sings as well as he did years ago. His pipes haven’t failed him yet 😆

Jim there was a moment when you went yea perfect , when your a member of the family after listening to this hundreds of times at that moment we cry , I just love your reaction the tears will come they will get you x

best band , seen them numerous times over the years and brave the album a classic

Fallin’ From The Moon is, for me, the emotional heart of this album. I’ve been moved by it right from the first listen all those years ago.

Yehes! Taken from Marillion's one of the best, a concept album, Brave. Which is bloody brilliant! Great joice, Jim! We want more! We want more! We want more!

Simply Brilliant

Love...love...love...Marillion❤

What more can be said about that masterpiece... A majestic powerful mini-suite which never fails to bring tears to my eyes, cause though it deals with dark themes, it's filled with compassion and humanity.

Yes Perfect 😭☺😮 Hits every emotion

Omg What a great voice.

That big tent = the flagship Marillion Weekend tent in the Netherlands. A complete holiday parc is rented out and filled with Marillion fans from all over The World for a long weekend filled with 3 evening long Marillion concerts (and all with entire different setlists) plus some very good support acts (well, most of the time).

Jim the band are Steve Hogarth lead vocals, Steven Rothery lead guitar, Peter Trewavas bass guitar, Ian Mosley drums, Mark Kelly keyboards

I saw them play Brave in Cologne, Germany 1994. It was my first and only time at one of their concerts, and it was fantastic! Steve Hogarth was climbing all over the scenery above the stage, he was also splendid in ladies clothing, true that. :)

Love this track and thanks for listening Jim - there is a moment in this song that never fails to move me to tears - and it gets to you too! Its the wonderful emotive guitar solo as the song reaches its crescendo...6:35 in your vid....you really nailed it when you say "Perfect". Its my favourite moment in music.

Every time I hear this song i think to myself ..Steve Hogarth is a genius..and very rarely does geniuses get recognition! Im glad to admit i recognise his talent, sensitivity, beauty of creation lyricism and so on!

Just one of the best ever.. Full stop❤️

Oh and the space at royal Albert hall. Pretty amazing

6:30 when you look to the right out of your window it's like you knew what was coming and you had that moment where you have to look away because it's simply that emotional.

Welcome to Marillion. I think you've started with two real high points, but there is much in the band's catalogue that's equally satisfying. I think the moment here when Steve Rothery's solo comes in on Falling From the Moon is one of the most sublime moments in music. For a contrast next time maybe try The Space or King or Out of this World.

Watching this back again after all your marillion reviews. The look on your face of what have I missed and seeing you fall for marillion......glad you re engaged with them 👍😊

did you get that emotional roll from his vocals.. know i always do.. one of the best songs ever written and played

They do live brave special after 10 years...2002,2013.. maybe next 2023

Loved it! I'd never listened to these guys but it sounds like they're really talented.

I keep coming back to this video and your Neverland video. Where it all began 🙂

You really have to hear Holidays In Eden.. Dry Land is such a wow track.. The Space on Season's End is another.. Just so so many to choose from.

I wish I could listen to this song for the first time again

Sublime band, move me to tears regularly! Steve's performances are extraordinary. Marbles on the Road is an epic DVD!

Best band in the world

Glad you listened to it, even more glad that you enjoyed it!

Dear Jim, it happened at Centre Parcs, The Netherlands in 9th of march 2013 and it was indeed an excellent Marillion Weekend.

Brave is such a great album. Nice reaction....!

I love the album this track is taken from..... Brave is a beautiful album. Bitter Sweet... but still beautiful. Thanks for the posting this Jim.

I’m quite emotional listening to this and I don’t know why this is spectacular

Simple is the best band in the History of Progresive music and more That is I cry everytime what play this song ....athankou for this video broo.......😎😎

I'm 63 years old I have seen a lot of shows and like a lot of different bands these days always bring me to tears. Whether it's this singer or fish it never fails .

Hi. One of my favourite songs. I m a french woman living in brittany in France. Loving so much this band . Queen too. The vines etc. Kenavo .

For me, and they have many outstanding songs, their best song hogarth era, with care a very close second

It's so awesome how his voice singing merges into an e-guitar solo. Super emotional song though I do not know what he sings about...

Hi Jim. Loving watching you discover my favourite band. You should try This Strange Engine next, the 2nd guitar solo will slay you, or The Invisible Man. You've got some amazing music ahead of you, my man

Best album ever of them. That song was essential to my survival in this world.

Great 👍 Jim

So cool to share some Marillion with people after all these years. From the H era, Living the Big Lie, Working Town, 100 Nights... so many great songs.

Brave was my first introduction to Marillion. I second Tony's suggestion of This Strange Engine next. Has one of my favourite guitar solos in.

No matter how much I listen to this there is always tears ❤😍

Nice one Jim. Brave is an album with a story (there was a movie of the album too. ) Highly recommend you listen to the album from start to finish. The story it follows is powerful, emotional, heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting. There is no better band on the planet in my opinion and the guys do so much for us fans. 💜

To me the great escape is one of those iconic to be song in prog. Brave is a CD not many know about. In my opinion maybe marillions best

The most incredible band on the planet. I genuinely feel sorry for those, like yourself, who’ve missed out all these years to there spellbinding music

Filmed on convention weekend at Port Zelande

You got me listening to them........ His theatrics are ? :-) But I love his voice! I loved the guitar solo. I loved the song............. Thanks for sharing again!

Best and overwhelming version of the song ❤❤❤❤❤

IMHO, the reason people like (LOVE) Marillion is that they are not in any way out just recycling their old stuff, for old fans, and for bored musicians... They consistently create new music, putting out a new album every two years or so, and while some of it is lighter, the vast majority of it is beyond deep. Of all the bands I've loved in my life, these guys stay at the top BECAUSE of the lyrics, in which you can find real life stories, written really well. (Partial bit of the long article...) "Out of This World" about the loss of the Bluebird (From the Times: "'Bluebird' Donald Malcolm Campbell (1921-1967) set water speed records of 202.32 mph (1955), 276.33 (1964). In a jet-powered automobile, he set the land speed record of 403.1 mph (1964)...Campbell was said to be obsessed with regaining the water speed record after losing it in 1965. In 1967, against the advice of his racing team, Campbell took Bluebird II out on to Coniston Water in the Cumbrian Lake District... Although only slight, the waves on the lake were sufficient to flip his craft into the air, killing Campbell. In March 2001, Bluebird was raised from the murky waters. A Times article dated Friday March 9th 2001, reveals that Marillion played a key part in the recovery... Found here: " marillionations.blogspot.com/1995/06/out-of-this-world.html " ) Worth a read through one of these days. And this is only one, but one of their all time most beautiful all said.

I like watching your breathing change. Definitely breath taken music. I too am catching up.

If you don't get goosebumps from this, there is no hope for you :). There is a very clear and deep story here and Steve and the band bring it to life and it is how the most wonderful thing that there is in life, when treated with disrespect, can bring so much pain and destruction.........

Ocean Clouds...enough said

I did the same mistake, now maillon evry day

Great choice from a great album. Jim, the instructions on the liner notes suggest you to "Play it loud, with the lights off." and I can tell you that listening to this album in full, exactly like that, is a spiritual experience. Not something you could really do a reaction video to, of course. ;)

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 perfecti

Brave - their best post-Fish era's album!

You should listen to much more.. it's from PZ centre parks in Netherlands a 3 gig weekend 2013. Glad you found them.. Get Brave the album as it's kinda all one story!!

Best live band on the planet

"Power" in a live video is great.

check out the story behind it, a very undervalued band in mainstream but thats ok because they loved by a very loyal group of appreciative followers! and its a mutual love of their music that keep the band and fans connected! :O)

musics best kept secret , best band in the world

Lovely song - it’s the climactic song from the Brave album. Steve Rothery is possibly my favorite guitarist - phrasing over speed, and very emotional. BTW, a new Riverside album is coming at the end of September, and there new single is on KZfaq now.

nice video Jim this track is an absolute belter really starting to appreciate hogarth finally now

Obrigada gracias por nós presentear com seu lindo talento

A voz do meu coração ❤️😍

masterpiece

One of those bands who are better live than their studio stuff. Now you've found them,check out their very fine catalogue. the fish era and todays line up is as different as early genesis and mama. Fish was also superb,have a look at "market square hero" live,stunning.

Welcome to Marillion Jim. More people need to relook at this incredible band and get past that pop one hit 1980's wonder we all know to love to hate. The early days were great but Fish is long gone. Onto bigger and better things. They are amazing and more people need to figure that out.

Nice to see how much you're enjoying this music. I've had the same kind of revelation about two years ago, and there's a lot to discover haha. I would recommend you to listen to Ocean Cloud, from the album Marbles, and to new album (2016) F.E.A.R., particularly two songs - El Dorado and The New Kings. But again - there's so much more than just that. Hope you enjoy it!

Fantastic

Saw them play Brave the first time round at Guildford Civic Hall and the Forum Kentish Town. Good times.

I hope someday you’ll make a video about The Invisible Man song from them. The live performance is amazing. Thank you for all your commentary videos.

Thank you for yet another review of Marillion and their beautiful music Jim. Please review Estonia (live version) when it takes your fancy. Be careful though, it may break your heart 👍

You need to the hear and watch the whole of Brave!!!!

Manowar "Achilles, Agony, And Ecstasy (In Eight Parts)" [PRELUDE] [I HECTOR STORMS THE WALL] I see my chariot run to your ships I'll drive you back to the sea You came here for gold The wall will not hold This day was promised to me The gods are my shield My fate has been sealed Lightning and javelins fly Soon many will fall We are storming the wall Stones fall snow from the sky We will pay with our glory In the fire of battle Zeus today is mine Killing all my way Like sheep and like cattle Smashing skulls of all who defy I spare not the hammer I spare not the sword This day will ring with my name None have to chase me Let he who will face me Kill me or die by the sword [II THE DEATH OF PATROCLUS] Oh friend of mine, how to say goodbye This was your time, but the armor you wore Was mine, I will not rest Until Hector's blood is spilled His bones will all be broken Dragged across the field This dear friend is how we'll say goodbye Until we meet in the sky [III FUNERAL MARCH] [IV ARMOR OF THE GODS] [V HECTOR'S FINAL HOUR] Here is inside the walls Troy, the gods weigh my fate From this day do I abstain, to a memory of hate To pay for all the blood that spilled The many thousands I did kill, No walls can contain the gods' almighty will I hear the silent voices I cannot hide The gods leaves no choices so we all must die Oh Achilles let thy arrows fly. Into the wind, where eagles cross the sky Today my mortal blood will mix with sand It was foretold I will die by thy hand Into Hades my soul descend [VI DEATH HECTOR'S REWARD] Cowards in the grip of fear, no valour to uphold Cut into the earth, with honor long been sold For all shall come to know me As they fall unto their knees Zeus the Thunderer, control my destiny When the cards of life were dealt, My hand a ruthless fate To avenge, and bringeth fury, Hector feel my hate A bloodbath was born to bring, by birth I'm an assassin To cut the cord of life and beath, Ties to earth unfasten Blood and fire death and hate, your body I will desecrate Dogs and vultures eat your flesh the hall of Hades waits Kill... Hector's blood lies on the battlefield His body lies on the battlefield His body's mangled wounds, The gods who once protected him are now his gods of doom, Like a tower standing tall, steadfest in direction I fall upon you bringing death, the gods give no protection Coward in the grip of fear, no valour to uphold Cut into the earth, with honor long been sold For all shall come to know me, as they fall ino their knees Zeus the Thunderer, control my destiny Blood and fire death and hate, you body I will desecrate Dogs and vultures eat your flesh the hall of Hades waits Die, die, die... [VII THE DESECRATION OF HECTOR'S BODY] [PART 1] [PART 2] [VIII THE GLORY OF ACHILLES] The oath of the gods, this day was fulfilled In the heat of the battle, Hector was killed See him Patroclus, down in the dust Rejoice in his death my symbol of trust A dozen highborn youths, have been killed Cutting their throats their blood was all spilled Their bodies set at the fool of your fire With oxen, sheep and two of your hounds Your funeral pyre high off the ground Hector's body dragged three times around I will carry the torch to your funeral pyre I will ask of the wind to send high your fire Hector's blood will not be washed from my body until your body is burned A prophecy spoken a promice fulfilled More blood will be spilled, more will be killed.

I can recommend Transatlantic as Pete Trewavas also plays.

Elbrus "Break the Machine" is a not known song by a not known band. You probably wont listen to the song, but of you do.. it is a blues/rock/stoner metal just mixed into this beautiful piece of music.

JIM, you obviously need something longer, even though the crowd reaction for "GO" at the Albert Hall is great. I would still say This Strange engine or Ocean Cloud. Thanks for the mention. I am travelling from NZ next April for the convention, that's how mad we are us Marillion Anoraks!

Hey Jim! another cool one :) I have thought about something that i didnt talk to you about. Id like to see you reacting to the Band "Skyclad" With their Song "Words fail me". Its a Band that is not that well know but it basically created 2 genres that are really popular in rock and metal. Im not gonna tell which ones tho ;) Just that a lot fo people should appreciate it more.. but thats the case with many awesome bands. The song is from their newest Album and i finally..this year... had the chance to see them live and talk to them for hours. That was one of my biggest dreams cause i know them since i was a little boy and nobody else i met knew them at all.. i was so suprised when they showed up on my favourite festival. They went through much and they were really really great live and yes.. they played that song Live and it was daaamn awesome. It also has a pretty strong message :D I know i recommend quite a few songs but i usually dont ask for a reaction video directly, usually i just exchange awesome music with you ..but this one is too special ^^ Have a nice weekend! (had to edit that. stupid me typed in the wrong song name o.o)

I highly recommend the Marillion song "Power". Some other good ones have been suggested, but I really think you will love the live version of Power.

Anekdoten - book of hours. Hi Jim, That song made me burst into tears when i had My first listen. Older song from 1994 sweedish pretty unknown band, please do This for me. You wont believe youre ears when you hear his voice. An amazing beautiful song

The story of this album is heartbreaking, hence the emotion in the vocals.

Happy you (re)discover them. Try Invisible Man, you’ll not regret It...
