Marillion - Fantastic Place

One of the greatest song from Hogarth's era

[@watcher171]

This whole Marbles album is such a masterpiece...Neverland, Angelina, Fantastic place...Great !!

[@brummyneil]

I first started following this band in 1983 when I was 14. A band whose music tells many of our life stories..

[@MrCarstenDierks]

Dieser Song lässt einen durch die Welt der Gefühle schweben !

[@HippyHearse]

I love the way this song builds from such a quiet start and Steve Hogarth puts so much into it he looks emotionally drained at the end.

[@betsyerreve3867]

This is what a Band is. Real singer, musicians and composers in a beautiful melody

[@3minuteboy]

This band have been part of my life for 26 years and Fantastic Place is one of their very best songs they have done. This song and the acoustic 'Afraid of Sunlight' are on my funeral playlist. Mind you, as an atheist, the 'fantastic place' does not lie behind pearly gates!

[@tnecniv1952]

This is one of those videos and songs that You tube was invented to show. Magic.

[@hanreality.7266]

For years I’ve wished I was the bloke at 3.26. 2020 and I still do.

[@WhIte0NErd]

The best song when I'm a little drained. Thanks Marillion for this heavenly piece/peace.

[@cudaguy74]

And I used to think Brian May was the most underrated guitarist in the world. Steve Rothery is so gooood not alot of long solos but so on keywith emotion and absolutely amazing sound.

[@ikkezelf599]

Now 7yrs after your comment i wonder if you get to read this reply. Someone made 2 vids with his best solo's. Not sure of the titel but wen typing Steve Rothery best solo's part one or part two you are going to find them and in those you get some longer solo,s also because its live material he could improvise more prob. Vreetigs from the Netherlands

[@marcelo.n]

Brian May underrated? Think not! :) But I do think Marillion is definitely underrated, not just Rothery but the whole band, unfortunately...

[@TrulikasLT]

prob the best song ever... My heart goes wild when i hear it

[@Crazyfeline]

Magnificent beyond belief. Hogarths best lyrics and best vocals ever. Just look at the emotion on him at the end. I tear up every time I listen to this. And even though the band is in in top notch form here, Mark Kelly's keyboards color this especially well.

[@falseprophet1972]

+crazyfeline Yes H is emotionally drained at the end of this and looks like he's in some other place.....hopefully the place it took us!

[@Passacaglia43]

First saw Marillion (with H!) in concert in 1993... never thought I'd see a better concert in my life--H had so much energy and soul, and the band (Ian!!!!!) was absolutely at the top of their game. I felt certain it was some kind of fluke--a trick of light and sound, a failure of discernment on my part, that old instinct of "the last concert I see is always the best"... Boy was I wrong. This--this song, this concert, this band's whole career--is just stunning. Thank you, H and the lads...

[@jackiechris2]

A friend has recently introduced me to marillion and what can i say...truly awesome the music and lyrics are amazing ...i love this song "put your arms around my soul and take it dancing" beautiful and full of emotion.... i close my eyes to this song and am completely lost in the music...thank you Chris for giving me Marillion

[@johnnyenglish9622]

Anyone watching during covid? Here in March 2021 because been a Marillion fan since 1983.

[@sgwdavidson2011]

One of their best ballads

[@holgor70]

The best band on the planet,for sure

[@djmgerardu]

This is one of the best songs ever. I've seen them live a couple of times during the Marbles tour. They are one of the best bands ever!!!

[@Ginbat86]

Steve Hogarth est un génie. Il fait passer plein d'émotions, et Steve Rothery n'est pas en reste avec la fabuleuse envolée,qu'il nous offre en fin de morceau. Un pure bijou pour un superbe album qu'est Marbles.

[@companyof8]

see that there? that's a singer singing a song with true emotion, pure genious. doesn't get any better than this. any doubts take a look at his face at the end of the song. pure emotion coming from him. though i love fish i can relate so much more to h and marillion's songs post fish. and the emotion, the emotion h puts into every song, you can't top that. he's brilliant.

[@GiancarloColomboBR]

Hogarth + Rothery = Amazing musicians and inspiration for my ears. Amazing!

[@loraparis8856]

I never get tired of hearing this one..

[@s0ouser]

My fave tune from the Hogarth era

[@loud7070]

Absolutely one of the best bands ever to exist ! ! !

[@johnstone4497]

I agree with you Iou D !!

[@pitbullcees1]

Lou D

[@drelvisvalentino2638]

Agreed, I thought Neverland stirred my soul., but this song puts me in a "Fantastic Place".

[@elizabethannnelson690]

Absolutely incredible, such emotion, Steve Hogarth is amazing.

[@gyppy1715]

amazing album---Marillion's best work is during Hogarths period---amazing singer.

[@reinerjablonowski4572]

Marillion will play it on the weekend in Port Zelande on saturday night. I looking forward to see it live again.

[@madpan7981]

lucky you ....

[@kalungarocker]

Masterpiece. Pure magic and sensibility, the art to touch the hearts of all those still love the life and music!!

[@ThomUrquhart]

One of the very finest Marillion songs. Soulful, uplifting, sad. I just love it when played live.

[@roj1168]

This song has hit home so very much for me; what a find. Beautiful; soulful, my heart is (still) aching due to meeting someone and finding out she didn't feel the way I do, so I've been struggling to "let that somebody go". At the end of the lyrics he says "you'll either kill me or save me".....well she....I know....I'm trying to move on, but it's a struggle you know? Thanks for the great music Marillion....

[@laurentos1967]

Une merveilleuse chanson d'un merveilleux album d'un merveilleux groupe.

[@holgor70]

thats music at its best thank you marillion

[@Sergey-ix7ri]

Нет слов, это очень красиво !!! СПАСИБО, МАРИЛЛИОН !!!

[@PhilGrimwade]

This song moves me to tears every time, especially "Say you understand me..." They are without doubt the greatest secret in modern music, but to those in the know, they are 'our' secret

[@mcintyresmith]

Pure genius. Why Marillion haven't dominated the world is a mystery, but they're 'our little secret', right? Only a select, discerning crowd get it, but those who like it, like it a lot!! Thanks for coming to Canada, guys, come back real soon!

[@tnecniv1952]

The guy in the audience singing along makes this special. I do the same; even watching this here. Awesome.

[@ShlisaShell]

Yes, he does. You're special too:)

[@milleracer41]

Went to see them playing their Lost & Found Acoustic set at the Ferry in glasgow a few days ago. Absolutely stunning. Took the missus who has never really listened to them before and she was amazed. Steve Hogarth has a unique voice and a mesmerizing stage presence. Without a doubt my favorite band of all time.

[@TheBRAfamily]

The greatest band of all times!!!!!!!!! Miss going to their gigs in London...

[@Nenyatha]

You have a fair point, we fans may not be that many, but we love them loads! ;)

[@johnstone4497]

Such emotion from H, great song, great lyrics, H, you're ace !!

[@coopersgirl52]

Once again the fantastic H puts his heart and soul into a stunning performance. I'm late discovering the post-Fish era and believe Marillion with Steve Hogarth have written some of the most beautiful stories and love songs ever. Just look at his face at the end of this song - he's put everything he has into it and is clearly emotional. Love to all fans, old and new, from a 70s rock chick!

[@Chaderzz]

Arguably one of Hogarths best offerings! This and Ocean Cloud and Clearly the Whole of Brave

[@TrueEarth2112]

Chills at 5:23 This one brought the house down when I saw them in 2004.. Once again June 2012. Come boys, it's time again.

[@PCmaatje]

Each time I hear this song I'm overwhelmed with emotions, sooo beautiful!! Goosebumps all over.... But it also has something to do with the precious memories I have about the 'fantastic places' when I heard this song (...)!

[@rockinfine]

Absolutely one of their best songs, imo! "...he'll give you all of his money, you still won't know what he's thinking..."

[@emiliofalcon1112]

I'm saw them in Chicago two nights were outstanding cocerts . I love marillion.

[@Fdelphinus]

The answer is far easier than you think: If you keep your quality high, you will only speak to a few people, to an elite. If you want to speak to the masses, you must lower your quality, that's how it works, no matter if you are a musician or a writer or another kind of artist. Marillion chose to keep their quality skyrocketing to the highest levels. :)

[@SuperPorsche996]

Flawless performance as always, brilliant.

[@kopilit]

Awesome. Even better than Afraid of Sunlight. Thanks for posting.

[@ProgMetalRulz]

Steve Hogarth is a GENIUS!!!

[@Kitchenartuk]

Probably the most beautiful song ever written and sung.

[@user-ht4gm8ms2l]

Какво изпълнение каква красота - магия!!!!!!!!!!

[@crossy1974]

Probably one of thr best Marillion songs ever

[@gruizcubillan]

They don't make music.. they don't make art...What they do is magic.

[@yove381]

Yes ,it´s pure magic,emotional music and lyrics,i love this band!!!

[@michelmarianop]

beautiful , amazing song

[@raymondtompkins-vb4ss]

This is the song I want to be played at my funeral when they carry my coffin in to thrv

[@giclaros3269]

quando ascolto i Marillion ogni posto diventa fantastico

[@loufador]

they make me feel relaxed and happy, from my point of view this is enough to call them a GREAT band

[@ludiehenning]

Incredible song .... I am speechless !!

[@klaasvg]

Fantastic song, terrific work of Rothery and Mosley ! Not to say less of the other three of course... ;-) I hope the next album will maintain this high level of quality !!!

[@Twinklyist]

Ohh yess!! That's exactly what it is, he sings like he knows each one of us - the words touch you right in the soul..

[@StsSunnyCharlie]

I agree.. they havent toured the states enuff.. saw them in fall 2004 in nyc wish they would return~

[@MiddleAgedPixie]

Beautiful song, i get so many emotions go through me everytime i hear it! Steve has such an amazing voice! Thanks for posting it!

[@QuakerDragon]

When I win the lottery, I will bring these guys back to the States.

[@johnstone4497]

So melodic, wonderful lyrics, magic !!

[@barryjayes]

Wonderful. wonderful, wonderful...couldn't agree more crazyfeline.....

[@robdawg1973]

So true.............from the little island of Malta!

[@fitnessisgood4u]

Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LoneFloyd]

This song is so beautiful.

[@PlanetRockJesus]

Never heard of these guys before. I'd love to see them in Chicago in October 2016. It's general admission. If it's actually SEATS I might consider it. I don't want to stand for a whole concert (I'm 62!). These guys are just great. I love their focus on the melancholy. Great players.

[@PlanetRockJesus]

Thanks! I might!

[@bonnieboswell6607]

call the venue and ask if they have any chairs. The year I had double knee replacement I asked in Quebec City and Montreal and both venues provided chairs for me and my husband front row balcony. You don't know until you ask. I do understand, but don't miss this band...

[@andyowen7636]

Welcome to a wonderful world

[@elizabethannnelson690]

I'd love to see them, I'd stand and I'm a young 63. Steve Hogarth's voice is terrific, and such emotion.

[@StsSunnyCharlie]

great version, thanks!

[@Twinklyist]

Perfectly put.. and this is my favourite Marillion song..

[@dominickthibault8825]

Fantastic song.

Sublime! It doesn’t get better than this!

[@yone1968]

[@alejoide]

It;s one of the greatest Marillion songs period! not only "h's era"

[@tz125r]

This track is so inspiring, a quite beautiful song.

[@mcdibbs]

This is without doubt the best song Marillion have EVER done! Next in line being Afraid of Sunlight

[@gokce2112]

this song always reminds me of being on the shores of Mediterranean and enjoying the sunshine, i think i trained my mind for it, either way it works out beautifully.

[@johnwheat5199]

H at the top of his game!

[@johnstone4497]

Still enjoying this great song, lovely lyrics !!

[@jucarasantana4477]

Maravilhoso e sentimental vocalista

[@robsonpantoja7475]

Choro nessa letra. Caras são foda!

So true....from the little island of Malta!

[@fitnessisgood4u]

This is totally awesome!!

[@steezy9093]

Vy jste kompasem mého života a taky mořem , díky

Being a woman doesn't keep me from appreciating the heart rendering beauty of this song.. For me, h's lyrics speaks of pure human emotion..
