Classical Composer Reacts to Estonia (Marillion) | The Daily Doug (Episode 258)

[@Arrow2theACL]

"Music suspends time to help us emotionally" Well said Doug. Music also has a way of bringing us together regardless of differences. Except when it comes to Fish vs Hogarth apparently.

[@RJTheBikeGuy]

Fish!

[@jonathanhenderson9422]

People always want to make it a competition: why not Fish AND Hogarth? Fish-era was probably more consistently great, but Hogarth-era has had plenty of highlights, including my favorite Marillion album in Brave.

[@TheSimba3062]

Been a fan since their debut. I love Fish, but I think H is better. They're both great in different ways!

[@TheSimba3062]

@@jonathanhenderson9422 I totally agree. Brave is a masterpiece!

[@oldgriff2649]

Hogarth hands down has lifted Marillion beyond what fish could ever have done

[@32ndBrother]

My friend you have just scratched the surface of what is Marillion. Possibly one of the most underrated bands of all time, and certainly one of the greatest live acts ever experienced.

[@ralphskyperion1699]

I totally agree with you.

[@auswidemarine8980]

Don’t forget the Fish days. I look at Marillion as, ‘Side on and Side two’. That’s the original thought of calling the Misplaced Childhood album.

Marillion is a no less than a top 15 band/artist in rock history....well said Sir.

I lost my wife to brain cancer...just 5 years ago. Marillion was one of her...and one of OUR favorite bands. This song makes me cry every time...and yet I can feel her close...if only for a few minutes. Thank you for doing this, Doug.

[@mikeherbert2500]

I agree. Steve is an exceptional vocalist.

Doug, Marillion's manager was asked about this video and she said Steve Hogarth saw it and has been sharing it on WhatsApp to other people. Excellent reaction as always, congratulations!

[@dom128uk]

No band on the planet puts as much feeling and emotion into their music as Marillion - Estonia is one of the best songs ever written imo! Great comments and contributions Doug , top man!

[@palantir135]

There’s the Marillion with Fish; Clutching at Straws, is a great album. And there’s Marillion after Fish left. More great albums to choose from. Afraid of sunlight, is one of my favorites.

[@genericusername1365]

Clutching at Straws never gets old for me. Love that album. It's especially good listening while driving a car alone at night on a quiet, dark highway.

[@peternesbitt3647]

... Listened to this song a hundred times and never new all the lyrics... I luve Marillion. Glad you do too now.

[@anger.7808]

I'm Estonian and I'm amazed I didn't know this song existed until saw it on your channel. Thank you for it. Urmas Alender, a beloved musician in Estonia, also sank that day. Some survivors have said that he clung on a chimney and was singing before sinking with the ship. He also had songs about how sea would take his life.

[@oldgriff8559]

One of the best pieces of music I’ve ever heard in my 66 years..simply love it very much..

[@davidbarker77]

That's a beautiful piece of music about something tragic. New song for me, so thank you.

[@marillion1]

If you enjoyed that check out Marillion with the same strings playing the Albert Hall...a feast for the senses.The dvd is called All One Tonight.

[@GeigermSv]

Always made me think of their equivalent of "The Flying Dutchman" by Jethro Tull (1979). Hauntigly beautiful and melancholic, about sea-related human tragedy.

[@bobbralee1019]

One of the most underated bands about, wonderful reaction Doug try "The Space" live at the Royal Albert Hall next Marillion at their best.

[@hippiedave5775]

I was going to make the same recommendation ✌️

[@Nazgulbadger]

My wife loved this song, when she passed away suddenly, at only 31yrs of age, i couldn't think of anything more appropriate to play for her at her service. Whenever i hear this song, it makes me think of her, an i smile at her memory.

[@pietdebondt3934]

So sorry for such a devastating loss. The song always brings me to tears, remember when the news mentioned the Estonia had sunk with so many trapped inside or drowned in the ice cold water. Heart breaking 💔 😢

[@shaneoconnor5811]

So sorry for your loss, stay strong.

[@TheRKae]

"This Strange Engine": One of my favorite rainy day albums!

[@Ken5244]

Fantastic. So glad to finally see a reaction to one of Marillion's best songs. I saw them on this tour, and H told the story of how he met Mr. Barney and how the song came about. His sympathy for the victims was so genuine, and we could tell that Steve had been deeply affected by the tragedy. His lyrics are so perfect. This version is great in a different way, with the classical instruments, but the studio version is also fantastic with the Russian balalaika in the choruses and Mark Kelly playing the instrumental part of the bridge section with a perfect synth patch. Great, great song.

[@WanderingBells]

You are starting to understand why Marillion’s music connects so emotionally for many fans. As others have suggested. Try The Great Escape, The Space ( live at Royal Albert Hall with the same friends from the orchestra) or Neverland.

[@jamesderekeikeland9048]

Fantastic version, great suggestion

[@icebluehorizon]

I would concur the recommendation to listen to the RAH concert

[@casuallyabandoned]

Neverland, absolutely.

[@martinhodgson2303]

Brilliant reaction to a simply brilliant song Doug, Marillion are simply genius and Hogarth one of the great songwriters and singers. Emotional.

Marillion is a secret treasure, both Fish and H eras. I really love your style, Doug. You really transmit the love for music that we share. Thanks.

[@rrowe1961]

I LOVESD your remarks on this song, Marillion is a remarkable band, their music is supremely challenging ...the song Brave especially, or The Great Escape.

[@nickcohoon820]

Great reaction Doug, with the very said friends, The Space live at The Royal Albert Hall is incredible. I am off to see Marillion in 11 days 🤘

[@twocatsyelling723]

YES! Finally someone covers this! I have recommended this in several creators' comments - maybe even yours. You're the first person I've seen to actually cover it. For those who haven't... "their loss". They're missing out on brilliance. It's a bonus that you're one of the rare people on YT who actually understands and can talk about/break down the music. Marillion is half-jokingly referred to as "The best band you've never heard of". For years that's been pretty much true. It seems like that might be changing these days, as more people are introduced to their music, which is wonderful. Marillion deserves so much more recognition. This is gorgeous and, as you say, "heart breaking" song. It's far and away my favorite recorded performance of it. It's one of those songs I wish everyone could hear and appreciate as you do. Steve Hogarth has one of the most emotive voices I've personally heard in progressive music. I doubt he's ever phoned in a performance in his life. Also, the smile that keeps returning to the face of the violinist on the far left (their right), in front of Steve Hogarth, is infectious.

[@oldgriff2649]

You have put into words thoughts that I have too about this amazing band of fantastic musicians ..thanks for sharing your thoughts..

A masterpiece by my most favourite band of all time. Steve H and the band move you to another emotional level. Genius!

[@bcatterson]

Doug, that was your best episode yet! Yes, Marillion is a remarkable band--IMHO the most underrated progressive rock band of them all. Check out the DVDs of their various Marillion Weekends and you will see how much their fans adore them. Given your classical background, I'm not surprised you appreciated their With Friends From the Orchestra, but there is also a live version called With Friends at St. David's. I think you would really enjoy that.

The Brave album is dark but beautiful journey..

[@Ken5244]

Agreed. I suggested it awhile back, a couple times IIRC, but Doug didn't seem interested. It's probably too long for one reaction video. Plus it starts out slow and he might lose interest (?).

[@millercgr]

Marillion's songs are simply way above what anyone else in the rock/pop music genre is writing and recording and Estonia particularly, among others, is the proof.

I'm glad to see someone so enthused by Marillion. Death and water are recurring themes in Steve Hogarth's writing. I would like to add my voice to those suggesting Ocean Cloud as the best of the band's longer songs. The Great Escape is a bit like the best bits of Marillion crammed into a relatively short piece. It gives a good picture of what the band is about.
