One of their best song ever, seen them play it live many many times, always emotional!

[@biorythmicshifter]

The Marbles album is a complete work of art, it makes me feel good to be alive just to experience the feelings I have when I listen to it. Completely touches my soul...

[@captainmorgan1978]

Love this song alot

[@claudiadavies5110]

Absolutely agreed, a masterpiece!

[@32ndBrother]

One of the greatest live band you’ll ever see.

[@captainmorgan1978]

Yea this performance had so much energy!

[@stephenhaunch3468]

You made my day and brought another tear to my eye. Love this song.

[@captainmorgan1978]

Def a keeper...went right into my playlist!

[@stephenhaunch3468]

Marillion can be variable but their epics stand out. Hogarth lyrics always make a connection. This strange engine or ocean cloud are amazing. Live is the way to go.

[@captainmorgan1978]

Yea I actually prefer this version to the Album one...

[@tomopeth]

Man, Marillion has epic songs, just listen to "Script for a Jester's tear"

[@CreepyNeighbor666]

If you want to go down the Mariliion rabbit hole, it will be a long and fun journey. 2 different singers (very different but both excellent) and almost 4 decades of music.

[@ramoncardinali]

FLAWLESS.

[@fen3184]

So glad you enjoyed this. It's a great counter balance to the album's opening track; The Invisible Man - which you should definitely check out, but... The Space, at The Albert Hall... don't miss it ;)

[@captainmorgan1978]

Nice others have said so as well :) cheers!

[@tronlady1]

I cannot believe I’ve never seen this version before I am absolutely sobbing my eyes out!! Utterly heart wrenching 😍. Marillion are pure emotion as sound!

[@captainmorgan1978]

Yes they are and love when music hits the emotions! :)

[@ProgressiveVinyl]

Woo! Now do what the other commenter said. Do The Space from Royal Albert Hall. :D And they have always been on the Yes / Genesis side of things, and they also have some stuff that is straight pop. Albeit good pop. The song The Space is somewhat in the same vein as Neverland. Very emotional, very Marillion. They have some of the best lyrics in prog, both Fish and H lyrics, being very different, but still is very accessible and relatable. Also, H doesn't need to pronunciate the lyrics so clearly because everyone in that place know them by heart anyway. Thanks for listening to one of my favourite bands. I will now pester you another month to listen to The Space from Royal Albert Hall.

[@captainmorgan1978]

haha noted!

[@tonyfurminger8308]

There are so many songs I could recommend for you. The Invisible Man, Gaza, Go (live from the RAH), This Strange Engine, dozens more. I think though, The Great Escape should be your next taste of Marillion. And make sure it's a Live version. On record, this band are brilliant, on stage they are something else entirely

[@captainmorgan1978]

I am looking forward to it. Invisible has been requested alot

[@ProgressiveVinyl]

Also a great recommendation!

[@digibirder]

Thanks for your thoughtful reactions as always, and welcome to the world of Marillion! For another song, try "Easter". It's one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Try the studio version, or one of the live concert versions to get the whole original song. Steve Rothery's solos are some of the greatest guitar solos of all time, in my opinion. I think if you want beauty defined with a song, this is it. I get choked up every time.

[@captainmorgan1978]

Seen that suggestion a few times..Noted! :)

[@davidedemurodominijanni9889]

A reaction to Merillion!!!?! Seriously?!?? I could not avoid this video... never seen anybody reacting to this band ever! I forgot about Merillion myself a couple of decades ago and that alone sounds like blasphemy. Quite happy to see somebody is giving them a spot they do deserve, period!

[@JestaKilla]

Marillion has been my jam since about 1984. In a similar vein to Neverland, I'd recommend Ocean Cloud and This Strange Engine.

[@captainmorgan1978]

Yes a few have also said those songs...they will come back! :) Cheers

[@dgminner]

If you check them out on KZbin, you will see that they have a wide range of musical styles. Completely underrated

[@tronlady1]

THE most under rated musical force in the history of the universe 😱

[@ogam5]

....."Neverland" is, as its title and lyrics would SUGGEST, an allegory to Peter Pan voicing with GREAT consternation, the fear of losing someone DEAR upon physical death - facing one's mortality, leaving the innocence of childhood behind - or just all-around loss but ALSO, one of THE greatest LOVE songs EVER written.....NEVER fails to DROP me in my tracks and, if there was ANY justice, would be a frequently-played STAPLE (like MOST of marbles, their CATALOG) on album, classic rock stations.....

[@captainmorgan1978]

Perfect thanks for the suggestion and info!

[@kevingunning145]

Hi there Captain. You and I have conversed over a Nightwish reaction, so we have met before. This band is my favourite and I have followed them since 1983 when they first appeared on Top of The Pops on the BBC! Steve Hogarth (h0 is the bands current singer having replaced Fish in 1988. With many fans, he is still the 'new boy' and not unlike Tarrja/Anette/Floor with Nightwish, there has been an enmity between fans over who is the better singer. The salient truth is that they are really two different bands. As Genesis changed their music style when Gabriel left, so did this band. They have a real following, but the band are seldom played on UK radio, (or if they are, the songs are from the Fish-era) and exist mostly online. They embraced the internet phenomenon back in 1999 when they used the net to crowdfund their 'Anoraknophobia' album. Idid, like 12,500 others, and my name is proudly displayed on the inside of the album artwork! Btw; you mentioned Mike Portnoy. He was also in Transatlantic with Spock's Beard's Neal Morse, Flower Kings' Roine Stolt and of course on bass, Pete Trewavas, seen here! May I recommend that you react to their live performance in 2012 of 'Gaza' link here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5Klh4eqqZpmfKM . You may just be surprised. Cheers

[@captainmorgan1978]

Great information and I am glad I got to listen to your favorite band. Loyl fans will always have their favorites when new members join or leave. I appreciate the thoughts. I am very familiar with Portnoy's side projects save a few...NOt really into SoA...loooove Winery Dogs and saw them in Seoul and of course Neal and trans...

[@digibirder]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention in my previous comment. "Easter" is the song in your intro with DT. Listen to the whole original song by Marillion to get the full impact. Its a masterpiece of songwriting. Thanks again for your thoughtful reactions.

[@captainmorgan1978]

Done :)

[@claudiadavies5110]

Invisible Man next?! Thanks for your incredible reaction!

[@captainmorgan1978]

Would love more Marillion 😊

[@captainmorgan1978]

Great info thanks

[@edwardspencer-small7021]

Marillion definitely fit on the Pink Floyd / Steven Wilson side of prog. They're not really technical, even their most technical songs like This Strange Engine (which is one of their best), feature quite basic riffs, but they make up for this with pure emotion, whether that be sadness, joy or pure anger. They've made music in a wide range of genres, everything from trip hop (This is the 21st Century) to hip hop (Quartz) to industrial metal, and from that I would definitely recommend Gaza, which is about the ongoing conflict with Israel. There's a great live version on their KZbin page.

[@tronlady1]

I aint never heard Marillion do any of those genres!!! Tenuous comparisons!

[@edwardspencer-small7021]

You clearly haven't listened to those tracks then. This Is The 21st Century is literally a trip hop track.

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

Steve h voice depends on the actual song he is singing. They as he being lead singer scince 1989 loads of songs obiously over that amount of years. Their new album "An hour before its dark" is a favourite of many especially the song CARE which most of the uk (and Scotland) 10 mins in you need a hankie on the table!! Seasons end is a great song from his first album... A warning all the way back then to the state of the enviroment... So their new album have a right go of that, you cannot get away from it. Their is loads on their stuff on youtube now, and their own. And the one thing I love about them is, they appreciate us. They invented crowd funding to help get them to tne US so then all their albums are crowd funded from 2001. Last year they could not get covid insurance so they asked us the fans if we could trump up 150.000 to cover the band, they got most of it. Tour went brill, they gave us the money back with treats and all sorts. The fans look after each other, for example I have never been to a Marillion convention (weekend 3 concerts on each night) and lots of rubbing shoulders with other fans.bumping into the actuale band themselves, the are definitely not up their own azss. Anyway someone got a go fund me to get me to the weekend (I am pretty disabled so don't get to things often , but they have all paid for me to go including the disabled friendly hotel etc! Seriously. If I could explain what we mean ti each other.... Well generosity. Love. Devotion. That's what I personally.makes us the best fan base and group in the world Oh and on another note Steve R has lost about 5st ish... !ooks so different. Keep on listening! thanks for your views.

[@captainmorgan1978]

Great comment and glas to hear the fans support for you. badass!

[@johnnicholson8345]

You absolutely nailed it on your first listen. The emotion they can draw without going into a tech fest aka SW. You obviously know your prog guys and this is a great primer. One slight comment. It's a C not a B as you keep mentioning. That's the key of the song. Pete hits a lot of the main diatonic notes with the bass pedals giving it a tremendous low end and creates that huge sound.

[@captainmorgan1978]

Thank you for the correction!

[@gopagopa8825]

[@captainmorgan1978]

Noted!

[@Yesquire0]

Steve Hogarth composes songs flowing from his own experience. He is no longer young , and his life when he composed Neverland was that of a middle-aged man. "Neverland" is the greatest love song ever written for a middle-aged man. You are a young man and may not fully appreciate it. Most love songs are written about sexually supercharged young love, and depict people lost in the fantasy of whom they imagine their partner to be. It is the sort of experience people go through when their hormones are doing their thinking for them. But as the decades slip by, that passion diminishes, and it is easy to become somewhat dissatisfied and dismissive of the clay-footed human which you long ago pledged your life to. But eventually you can come to the fuller understanding that what you are today, what you have become, is the product of not just your own making, but that of you spouse, too. You have built each other up through all those years of sacrifice and support, and you come to understand that your dissatisfaction and dismissiveness were simply so very, very wrong. You have become someone that someone would want to be because you have the love of your woman inside you. Neverland is an imaginary place, an illusion for the carefree young, just as that passionate love is always illusionary. That does not mean you cannot long to return to that illusion, if only for a moment, leaving the dirty dishes in the sink. They'll still be there when you return. but it might be nice to forget about them, and all of the other cares and concerns of middle-aged life, and fly away to Neverland again, if only just for awhile. Any fool can see her love inside you, and you have been the most stubborn fool of all.

[@captainmorgan1978]

That WA s a great comment explaining the difference and appreciate you taking the time to write it. This song is a great song and enjoyed it very much.

[@Kavala76]

[@paravarium]

Great underrated band for sure. Haven't heard this one for years so it was almost new again. Oh you want to know what depressed people should listen to these days? Welllll.. my ongoing reccomendation of Sleep Token - Calcutta. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKncYpt-gdmsftE I know I usually sell a song to you, but I'm really trying to let this one have as few expectations as possible other than I'm deeply obsessed with them and can't wait to actually discuss em with you!

[@ChrisEchoes]

Pete Trewavas is probably the most underrated bass player. He has a very unique style partly influenced by Paul McCartney but then he takes that way beyond that. A big part of his sound is the use of bass pedals to give the music this fat low bottom and at the same time giving him room to take his bass guitar part to upper regions creating these bouncy bass parts that always keep the music moving. He also creates parts that sometimes don’t sound like bass sounds but are more atmospheric.

[@captainmorgan1978]

Familiar with Transatlantic so I have heard him and indeed he is tasty

[@ChrisEchoes]

@@captainmorgan1978 with TransAtlantic he is good but he is more emulating where as with Marillion he is really his own. For instance, check out the Marillion song Gazpacho and listen carefully to what he does on bass in combination with pedals. Or go watch Marillion - Go (at Royal Albert Hall), not only a splendid song but another example of what he does best.

Fish is so unique.... his interpretations are so dramatic and emotional. He's a heck of a performer. Merillion deserved a greater fame. So underrated... it does make sense that I moved exactly from Merillion to Dream Theater {and Progressive Metal}. I never went back and probably I should have. If Fish was Dream Theater's singer {I'm so sorry LaBrie, I never liked the colours of your voice... Fish is such on another so different and highest level that LaBrie himself might be quite aware of that} then Dream Theater would be considered an even superior band than already is. Funny facts! I listened Merillion so much that I even worn a musicassette's tape so thin it's gone torn apart for good! that's what made me think "alright... this might be the sign I need to listen to something new and as good as this". And Dream Theater were that damn new and definitely that good at least. What an interplanetary journey has started since then!

Yea Labrie might be the hidden blessing... I like him but agree it took some time. But if he gad been amazing maybe DT would be too big...i like their size in the fan world... Would hate to go to stadium concerts 😉

The catalog is huge. There are maybe 30 songs that in the same league as Neverland. Please note, however, that Marillion music when Fish was their lead singer was quite a different cup of tea, and given your reaction to this singer, Steve Hogarth, you will have to approach the Fish era with a fresh palate.
