Marillion - Out of this World

Marillion's Out of this world mixed with the BBC TV 1988 Production 'Across the Lake' (21st anniversary of Bluebird Crash) My first go with mixing video and music. I hope you enjoy it

[@AmarokUK]

Lets get this correct when I uploaded this Video in 2006 there wasn't a video for Out of this World. I contacted Marillion and had a really nice email from the Band to say how much they enjoyed it. After around 3 - 4 months the Black and White version appeared, this was constructed by a professional who had access to the orginal films of the event. Marillion used this video in the tour as it was public domain

[@wadeturner3791]

Thats a credit in itself mate.... take pride in that

[@PGLopes]

Marillion's "The Great Escape" and "Out of This World" are those unique moments when rock touches perfection. They did it! This video is awesome and goes incredibly along with the musical piece...

[@throwmoredots]

Living a few miles from Coniston water this song has a pretty special meaning. I'm very much looking forward to the restoration of Bluebird and its eventual return to Coniston. Oh and the song is bloody incredible too. ;)

[@randomnesspersonified]

I keep coming back to this. I remember the first time I ever watched this and (obviously) listened to the song at the same time. I literally wept. A powerful combination - splendid job.

[@AmarokUK]

Thank you I felt exactly the same as I created it

[@KikeitorAlbo]

I also remember The first time i saw and hear this song, its one of The most atmosferic song that i know, pride of humankind

[@Womberto]

Art.

[@zaney5]

Just witnessed K7 en route to Coniston (finally) and immediately came here to listen. Still brings tears to my eyes. One of Marillions finest.

[@awaken77]

Afraid of sunlight is one of underappreciated Marillion albums. Love it.

[@Choober65]

Donald Campbell is one of my heroes, I stood by his grave, this song running through my head. I cried. If I were offered the chance to drive a WWSR boat tomorrow, I would do it. I grew up in and around powerboats. Such a rush.

[@SteveGoodness]

this band is not from this world ... marillion is a gift to mankind

[@madmanmoon8978]

Afraid of Sunlight is full of strong and deep songs.

[@JesperHellvik]

I used to be a big fan. Not that I totally stopped being one but I somehow lost track of Marillion after Brave. This song got me back on track…I really really love this one. So now I'm on a ride again with the amazing Marillion! How great is that?!! :-)

[@AmarokUK]

welcome back lots to catch up on friend

[@Fugazity]

This song was in the album "Gaspacho" the album that came after "Brave" but yes, i also lost track of Marillion after Gaspacho. This together with "afraid of sunrise" and "beautiful" where my favorite song of that LP.

[@ronniefranco512]

The album is called Afraid of Sunlight, not Gaspacho

[@Fugazity]

Ronnie Franco it's been a wile... thanks for clearing that out.

[@JuanJoseViaderoRivas-zh3gk]

Out of this world music, video and Across the lake movie. Beautiful pictures at Coniston Water. Donald Campbell legend told to us to know it. Thank you Marillion for this huge level song.

[@zaktabak4460]

This song really is out of this world!!!!!!!

[@deejaykiler]

brak słów by wyrazić ,co się czuje słuchając tego utworu!!!!!

[@CaptainSparkle]

Every year we go to Coniston, for the power boat records week. we set right opposite the Bluebird crash site. After the runs have finished we stay a while, toast the Skipper, and listen to this. It gets no better.

[@andyandy64]

THEcaptainsparkle been to Coniston, but can’t seem to find the crash site! Don’t like to ask the locals, could you enlighten me please?

[@synen]

One of the best songs by Marillion-H, fantastic. Such an underrated band.

[@michaelharris9694]

I agree this song has great lead work on vocals and guitar, well composed.

[@PositiveLastAction]

Another Marillion masterpiece. ....I get chills every time I hear this song.

[@lucktouch6933]

this just blows me away the track always has now with the film added its out of this world

[@72Z15SS]

Awesome tribute to Donald Campbell!

[@toweringfool9275]

What others consider masterpiece songs- Layla, Freebird, Stairway to Heaven, Inadagaddadavida- I don't. This is one for me!

[@madmanmoon8978]

Hell-O, Michelle Marillion is in another level.

[@toweringfool9275]

You know, another under-rated group is Manfred Mann! Also check out Gov't Mule...

[@Thisstrangeengine675]

Estonia is another one for Me...

[@neilhendry4390]

Undoubtedly. A sublime and beautiful song.

[@marcellogalliano1106]

Stunning song and video..a true history..

[@Faust1908]

A true monument of human feelings.. Magic, almost surreal..

[@Baheccakonova7]

Three hundred miles an hour on water In your purpose-built machine No one dared to call a boat Screaming blue Out of this world Make history This is your day Blue Bird At such speeds, things fly What did she say? I know the pain of too much tenderness Wondering when or if you'll come back again Wanting to live for you And being banned from giving But only love will turn you around Only love will turn you around Only love Only love will turn you around So we live you and I Either side of the edge And we run and we scream With the dilated stare Of obsession and dreaming What the hell do we want Is it only to go Where nobody has gone A better way than the herd Sing a different song Till you're running the ledge To the gasp from the crowd Spinning round in your head Everything that she said

[@andyhindle674]

Thanks

[@c4589z]

Marillion are in my top 4 bands and Coniston is so special to me, my dad swam across the lake while my mum and I paddled a dingh, we got blown by the wind down the lake and a rescue boat came upo to my dad and asked him for a light ( for a ciggie) he nearly drowned laughing... 2 years ago my son swam across the same lake and I was rowing a dingh with my son and we listened to Marillion and enjoyed a dram and beer in the evening.. So Fellini. Many thanks

[@ShlisaShell]

You boys from the U.K. sure know good music!

[@BluJugganaut]

Brings tears to my eyes...

[@aeronco]

Despite being a Marillion fan in the 1980s I had never heard a Steve Hogarth song until playing this. A brilliant song and video. Campbell was a brave man. Thank you.

[@julianfenner6075]

This wonderful marillion song inspired the man who has just restored the original Bluebird. Amazing story and a great song.

[@hyrjii7452]

One of the most heartbreaking songs... I don't know how many times I cried with, both at sunshines and sunsets.

[@SmokinLoon5150]

Every time I listen and watch this vid, I get goosebumps. What an amazing edit and paring of music to image. Whenever I hear this song on my own, I think of this vid, especially the "and we run and scream, with the dilated stare, of obsession and dreaming..." part of the vid. I saw Marillion live in Montreal in 2015 and this song brought me to tears, yes it was THAT powerful. Thank you for this work of art. :)

[@steveodonnell6533]

Mark Kelly says so much with just a few notes....genius.

[@ShlisaShell]

Marrillion is bringing me comfort through my kidney transplant recovery. Thank you!

[@AmarokUK]

All the very best with your recovery

[@ShlisaShell]

Oh thank you so much! I am doing so great right now I just can't believe it! ♥

[@AmarokUK]

Out of this world ;-)

[@photomexico-edicion7290]

shlisa shell good vibes

[@andrewgreen6429]

As a long time Marillion fan going right back to their debut album ‘Script for a Jester’s Tear’, the ‘Afraid of Sunlight’ album is a masterpiece. Very underrated ❤❤

[@ernestosanchezvalkovic5807]

Masterpiece......!!!!!!!!!

[@cempduda]

COM CERTEZA ESSA É UMA DAS MAIORES BANDAS DO MUNDO... THIS IS GREAT ROCK N' ROLL BAND OF THE WORLD...

[@Sylindria]

@crossy1974 thing was her final resting place under water had never been located. The guy who lead the team to find her was a Marillion fan, inspired by the song to do it. The raising - from what I've read was a decision taken based on the fear that if the site got out it could be raided and destroyed. Marillion were invited to the raising by both the team and Donald Campbell's family.

[@alexburnell8408]

As a kid I was obsessed with Donald and how they couldn't find his body for so many years turned out the body was in the bluebird all along, this song is such a tribute and was even played at his funeral, great song and well mixed with the video footage, powerful

[@creativeamerican8811]

Alex Burnell They never found his head though. Absolute legend. Land speed and water speed records. You have to have some titanium alloy testicles to get in a rocket engine powered boat. Luckily for Donald, titanium alloy testicles run in his family.

[@AmarokUK]

Hi, yes 4th Jan 1967 Blubird crashed at over 300 MPH on Lake Coniston, UK. In 1988 the BBC made a TV movie called Across the Lake. I took scenes from this TV Movie which also contains real footage of the crash and mixed it with Marillion's Out of this world. I hope you vote and like it ?

[@fxq777]

Fantastic, this has inspired me to review the whole event back in 1967. Thanks and greetings from Ireland

[@gkukreti]

Just outstanding! Out of this world.

[@bluebirdwsr]

Glad the interest in Campbell and Bluebird lives on. We were up at Coniston last week and as you look out you can just imagine that flash of blue going past. Great song and video, very haunting.

[@aliceplace7065]

I love this band...thanks for share ...from Argentina ! Ksssssss

[@jeanmarcfranceschini6511]

Encore un magnifique morceau de marillion, super.

[@patricarne]

People who say h i is crap is jealous and bitter(swedish word). What a beautiful song. Keep it up Marillion. We hardcorefans and others loves you.

[@sadpopfran7684]

best song of the universe

[@rileypupboo]

Afraid of sunlight is the best album I've ever heard in my life

[@Sylindria]

I've always loved the song, which can still raise the hairs on the back of my neck, but with the video compilation too - just stunning.

[@grahamhenbest2025]

Follow the rhythm of the music and it will take you to a truly magical place.

[@waitinginthepipeline]

So true, it certainly does.

[@Thisstrangeengine675]

This movie is hard to find. I did a search on KZbin and finally found it. Watching it now... It was only after 30+ years that his remains were found... ;(

[@spiritualcat]

Agree about the shivers down the spine... amazing!

[@federicorossi4950]

Stunning song.Marillion can excite you with stories that do not belong.Beautiful & more beautiful.

[@JesperHellvik]

This has now officially become me and my girlfriends song ❤️

[@Retroscoop]

How many "girlfriends" are you referring to ?

[@JesperHellvik]

@@Retroscoop 😂 oops

[@fenny21]

wow this song always has captivated me, but alongside the film it is just simply breathtaking! I was priveledged enough to be at Campbells funeral and so this song always is very emotive for me. Fantastic work, thank you.

[@andycarr5534]

You have done an amazing job with this video and I can't believe I haven't watched it until now. Thank you!

[@jhfrosalino]

Linda Homenagem; a música do Marillion nem se fala. Nota 10 !!!

[@TheViolator88]

I'm listening to this on a Marillion playlist and I can't seem to be able to move on to the next song. This is simply too beautiful to only enjoy once.

[@SmokinLoon5150]

I've had this saved in my "Marillion Mix" for over 4 years now and for good reason (ever since I've found it). Let alone that "Out of The World" be a brilliant song, but to pair up the beautiful music with scenes from "Across the Lake", starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, is truly a a wonderful treat. Kudos to the editor/author of this work, it is certainly remarkable. Scenes like when Blue Bird begins the final turn and gets the sun glare just before the run as if God and His angles are watching and waiting, or while Blue Bird finishes the turn and speeds up on her final run while the lyrics- " though we live you and I, on either side of the edge [boat turns and speeds up], we run and we scream [accelerates with rooster tail of water], with the dilated stare of obsession and dreaming [Anthony's eyes wide during acceleration]"... etc, etc. The scenes from the movie have been well paired with the song. Job well done.

[@erikbulte9158]

When Marillion meets Pink Floyd... Beautiful song! Masterpiece!

[@apocwiar]

Out of this world. Video and song. "Only Love will turn you round"....

[@YorksTradMusic]

Well done. You made the music fit into almost a narrative. Nobody can deny that these Prog Rock tracks are very deep and poetical.

[@samhawkins143]

My uncle Keith spent the night before this playing cards with his friend Donald Campbell, he said he knew it was a die trying attempt. ...A great man.

[@fxq777]

Sam , if it isn't an impertinence to ask, is the story of DC drawing the same 2 cards as Mary Queen of Scots (beheaded the next day ) true ?

[@coopersgirl52]

Stunning use of this beautiful track illustrated by powerful footage. I remember when the tragedy happened - a fine example of a supremely courageous man exploring the limits of human achievement in one of nature's most wonderful settings.

[@Vegardma]

This sends shivers down my spine. How sad and beautiful at the same time...Absolutely brilliant

[@noalterna77]

that solo shot to infinity...my god what an incredible song. and congrats for the video. it's a perfect counterpart to the music.

[@josephbennett4236]

*counterpoint

[@JoshMottley]

can anyone say "this is why i love u tube" had no idea this existed , i am thank full for whomever made this , marillion rules!

[@krauck]

Très belle reconstitution de 1988 avec Anthony Hopkins. Superbe musique de Marillion. Un très beau montage pour des images poignantes.

[@madbul007]

We all should have such a passion for something. Beautiful music, brilliant.

[@pedrogarciaotero5424]

Having a session of Marillion w/Fish and/or H. Both are sooo goood...

[@robinsonm08]

What a solo this band is phenomenal fish or Hogarth

[@AmarokUK]

Hogarth from the Album Afraid of Sunlight

[@mario94parrain]

3:55 : Omg this is pure magic and genius... The vocals, Steve !! The melody...!

[@cephalea27]

Beautiful, oh God ☺

[@ballaballapo]

TITANIC Dormiremo assieme abbracciati Dall'acqua dell'oceano, dopo il tormento Chiuderemo per sempre gli occhi Che hanno visto uomini aggrapparsi Alla vita, nuotare per restare a galla In questo cielo nero e le urla sono divenute L'ultimo canto ad accompagnare Il nostro ultimo bacio

[@jonh3696]

Spinning round in your head, everything that she said.... nine words that speak volumes. Brilliant pay-off line.

[@aladdinsane1220]

Marillion music is one of only a few bands that give me the old`shivers down spine`. Epic track and beautifully timed video.

[@robertedge4183]

When they did this on the Happiness is the road tour in Nottingham, there wasn't a dry eye in the house in men of a certain age , Aross the lake is the TV film this footage comes from and Anthony Hopkins was amazing as Donald Campbell, and if Marillion are to be remembered, it should for this song, as it has a true story behind it as does Estonia....

[@MrStrat01]

The guitar solo of Steve is "Out of this world" ....

[@fractalsechoesfrommotherea9084]

Amazing song, really our of this world.

[@TylerQuantrill]

This is an amazing song....absolutely awesome. And this fan made video is awesome aswell

[@atisalvaro]

One of the best videos. Very appropriate for the song.

[@marknyx4702]

Musica incrível... Estou passando por um momento difícil minha vida, mais essa musica não mim deixa Down ela im acalma... Beautiful

[@AmarokUK]

When I first uploaded the video to youtube I did email Marillion, I am glad the used my video live it really puts the track into perspective which was what I had intended. Big Smile :-) regards AmarokUK

[@tj-di4we]

My favorite song for 25 years...and till the end...

[@timbowood]

Haunting yet strong, what a mix of Video and Music. Awsume job!!!! Sreaming out of this world making History. Whoa, Such speed such music such vocals. WOW !! Timbo

[@RicardoCosta-rc8zi]

It's my favourite song. Beautifull. She have the power to take me into the clouds and dream...

[@chipfire]

It's doubly great given that this song inspired someone to go find Donald Campbell and the Bluebird. Members of the band attended it's lifting.

[@davidpancerev9658]

can utility and the coastlines truly an under rated genesis gem ! no one irepeat no one plays organ/ mellotron like banks ! he should bring that back !

[@larsthomasdenstad9082]

Dear sir. This is perfect. Thank you.

Most welcome enjoy !

[@cornflakrgirl82]

BEST SONG IN THE UNIVERSE. EVER.

Incredible song, incredible video. Marillion forever.

[@susc04]

Dude thats really well done. Great song great band

[@ytsename]

This song made me a Marillion fan

[@oligohome]

Awesome job. I never really paid attention to this song until I saw it paired with this video...very haunting...

[@MrSmult]

Absolutely gobsmacked. Amazing.

[@antifreezecoolant]

this is superb!!! well done!! feeling very emotional!! The Campbells will remain british heros forever. I visited the k7 restoration a few months ago unsure that they should be tampering with a peice of history but came away feeling that it really is the correct thing to do, restoring this precious vehicle so future generations can understand what this great man was all about is so important.

[@MarcusViggo]

best guitar solo eve ...mister rotary,golds hands

[@Agush82]

One of my Favourites Song MARILLION- AMAZING

[@PartnerSystem]

The best for ever

[@Upstairsforpete]

love the way steve,s guitar comes in on this track....... cant wait for the aucoustic material and tour. keep up the high standard lads

[@AntonioCarlos-xg2cp]

Adoro esse som ê Bom demais

[@ProcolHarum1967]

I don't understand people who say Steve Hogarth is crap. This is the only song I've heard with him but he seems to handle the vocals very well, a sentiment that Fish himself has voiced.

[@gobelin77]

Realy very nice idea to mix this footage with this marvellous great song ! your hopes are completed ! Congratulations !!!

[@AmarokUK]

Thank you

[@atisalvaro]

Excellent!
