Fish - A Gentleman's Excuse Me (2024 Remix)

[@annettereynolds7457]

Even after all these years, this remains a timeless song. Exquisite.

[@TroySwezey]

Fish is one of our generation's greatest poets. Do you agree?

[@TheMazzimM]

By orders of magnitude.

[@Arthur.in.the.Fridge]

No.

[@tomohello7754]

Of course he is

[@marillionman8811]

The big man deserve's so much respect and admiration for such a beautiful song, if this had of been recorded by one of the boy bands of the 90s it would've been a number one hit.

[@ukaszb5575]

song is very good but not so good to be the hit, Don't Give Up was much more better and peak only 9 in UK.

[@greg-warsaw4708]

@@ukaszb5575 Plus, with all respect to Fish, credits to Mickey Simmonds (shortly seen in the vid). Musicians (like Fish) not playing instruments cannot compose music in the strict sense (cannot construct harmonic structures, at best can sketch vocal lines) so they collaborate with proper players and in this sense this song (and most on the Vigil album) owes more than we think to MS's songwriting skills. For the same reasons most drummers aren't songwriters in their bands - unless they can play some melodic/harmonic instrument too, if only for songwriting purposes.

[@ukaszb5575]

@@greg-warsaw4708 między innymi dlatego tak potoczyła się kariera Fisha po odejściu z Marillion. Jest świetnym tekściarzem ale to było za mało żeby utrzymać się w mainstreamie. Czasy też nie sprzyjały takiej muzyce ,. Rozkwit grunge, rocka z USA (Gunsi , Metallica) takie piosenki choćby były super melodyjne były skazane na wąską grupę odbiorców (w większości z czasów fascynacji Marillion)

[@immusicmagazine4533]

If someone as big as Adele would have recorded this and got the kind of exposure that an artist like that can get, then I totally agree with you. It would have been a hit without a doubt.

[@immusicmagazine4533]

@@ukaszb5575 Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I have to respectfully disagree with you. With a much bigger artist, this could have been a huge hit.

[@Frydward]

Do you see the painful images Fish creates with just a handful of ordinary words? This is nothing less than finest Art.

[@jayme69]

Timeless and beautiful song.

[@andrewgreen6429]

Fish is timeless. Such a beautiful song from this immensely talented and underrated performer. Lyrics of pure poetry ❤

[@ste2442]

Absolute pure poetry , great shout that mate

This one still makes me cry, and I can feel all those old feelings from my youth all over again.

[@bad-girlbex3791]

Me too 🖤

[@georgenada4671]

Goosebumps after listening to this poetic piece. Masterfully transported back to a temporal memory.

[@piotru777]

I love You Fish ❤ This song is amazing and the arrange of orchestra's strings is breathtaking. I feel like 30 years before. Thank You.

[@paulovajao]

Thank You Derek! For the Poetry, Music and Genius!

[@hwoldersma]

Always been a Great man with a beautiful voice. Respect!

[@nevada0772]

Magnifique !! Bravo MR Fish…

[@theturtleproject]

still as beautiful as ever , should have been a huge hit

[@GustavoLovato]

And here, ladies and gentlemen, is my favorite ballad of all time. If I had to pick just one sad song to take with me, this is it. The lyrics, the music, the performance, the strings arrangement, the mix … all brilliant. A personal goal of mine, with my own music, is to approximate this magic one day.

[@BunnyBoilerInc]

A masterpiece deserving lot more.

[@alexsampson9198]

Oh wow, I had forgotten how much I love this song xx

[@Triple-Echo]

A beautiful song that evokes the same feelings as many years ago when I heard it for the first time.💞💞💞✨

[@NorandaPete]

Already missing Fish on Friday!!!

[@RobertoPambianchi]

Dear Derek, I have been following you since 1983, I saw you in concert several times, both with Marillion in Milan for the first time, Misplaced Childood had just been released, then in Milton Keynes 1986, in Rome again with Marillion, of course I followed your whole solo career and I must say that you have written some beautiful songs, you are part of the soundtrack of my life, together with Lucio Battisti, I am Italian from Rome. The last concert was in 2017 in Rome, thanks for the splendid career, but I think you could still give us a few more albums! You're still young to retire from the scene, but I guess you have your good reasons. I love you big Fish

[@paulmaryhill]

Such a brilliant track very deserving of having the 2024 remix audio added which is fantastic. Hars off to the big man, Calum Malcolm and everyone involved.

[@theblackstardisciple]

Another amazing song! Lovely to see more of these amazing music videos upscaled. : D

[@loekrietmeijer5487]

Such a beauty after all those years ❤

[@TroySwezey]

You know how you can tell when it is a great performance? When the audience is silent for a couple seconds before erupting into applause at the end. I found myself staring blankly at the screen at the end of this video for a couple of seconds having soaked up the weight of these lyrics and images.

[@Kai.P.Rinjah]

Heard it a thousand times, never without goosebumps. Best regards and slàinte mhath ❤️🇩🇪

[@stevenbrodziak]

You people already nailed all what i would say. Fish has a big place in my heart.

What a fantastic song. From an amazing album. Thank you for so many moments of goosefleshes ❤.

simply a gem, with a beautiful voice, the soundtrack of my youth 💙

[@impekarts]

At the beginning of his solo carreer Fish catch us with emotion and feelings on this incredible song... Many years later (but we are still here 😂) the emotion, the sincerity remains the same with Garden of remembrance ! A great man, lyricist, poet still on our side and in our hearts after 40 years at least Thank you Uncle Fish

[@andrewgreen6429]

Amen to that my friend ❤

[@GorgonFreemanPhD]

Apprezzavo enormemente il brano sin dalla sua pubblicazione ma non avevo avuto mai modo di vedere questo eccellente video che gli rende giustizia.

Nie mogę się doczekać koncertu we Wrocławiu w październiku. Fish jest wielkim artystą!

[@RR-kontakt]

Wunderschöner Song ❤️! Fish 🐠 ein großartiger Künstler! Der Remix 2024 ist hervorragend gelungen! Nach der letzten Europa Tournee, werde ich Fish 🐠 vermissen😭! Auch dass es keine neuen FoF Fish on Friday mehr geben wird, ist sehr bedauerlich😭. Aber Fish 🐠 seine Songs, bleiben uns auf Ewig erhalten😊! Simone & Fish haben sich Ihre gemeinsame Zeit auf dem Bauernhof plus der 13 Schafe, mehr als verdient! Wünsche den beiden Turteltauben, nur dass aller Beste🍀! Insgeheim, träume ich von einem Comeback in 2 bis 3 Jahren 😊,,,,✌️

Hope all you Fishheads are doing well 😍

[@mpspuij]

Doing okay, thanks. Still a few weeks to go for the Fish concerts. I am excited and sad about them. And how are you?

[@mpspuij]

Yes life is short, we have to make the most of it. I am going to Utrecht on 8 and 9 October and Antwerp in November. Looking forward to the concerts. Marillion and Fish are the most important band/singer to the sountrack to my life from the early 80ties until now. Then to think of it that the concerts where planned for 4 years ago. Covid messed up the world. I hope that Fish comes once in a while with a update of what he is doing. Maybe we need to visit Simone and Fish there business when they are up and running 😉

Dude! Yet another genius song. Fish - you are a God!!

@@michal146 nah, just putting the cherry on the cake of acknowledgement.

Marillion were very underestimated, such classic records amd fish is such a poet. I saw him in Southampton on th Vigil tour and only about 4 rows on people came but he sat on the stages performed as if there were 1000s there but with lots of chatting and friendliness. Npthing but love for Fish

Other than an excellent song it's also one of the few dedicated to a specific kind of woman ... i dont remember any else. And this kind of woman was quite common in our lives in the 80s-90s, maybe now less ...

[@bad-girlbex3791]

The woman dancing in the video was his soon-to-be-ex-wife who cheated on him.

[@francesco5581]

@@bad-girlbex3791 will be curious to se if he dedicated another song to that relationship ...

[@bad-girlbex3791]

@@francesco5581 Well, it was a heck of a long time, but the whole album recorded around that time had songs on it that were a lot to do with the break-up of that marriage. I think they'd moved back up to Scotland, tried to work stuff out, but it ultimately fell apart...which isn't surprising when one of them has been cheating. I'm just still stunned that he recorded this song after knowing all of that, AND got her (Tamara) to agree to do the whole woman's part for the video. It's just so much more heartbreaking when viewed that way...when you think about how emotional it is as a song just to hear it by itself, without the backstory. There's so much unspoken emotion coming through in this recording and video, I have no idea how either of them were able to hold it together to manage to create something so perfect and hauntingly beautiful.

This is what I have to say yeah this is the fish . Because you guys can voice your voice and paint a one-sided picture but I don't need to go it to details I know the truth and the whole truth . But I want people to ask them how come the fish is the main star and every one get rich off of every thing fish but the fish him self how come . So paint your lies like how want love to say I was jail but in truth flying all over the world living life large to cone back pretend and kill 2 birds with 1 stone by setting up 1 and telling him that it is a nother .
