I saw Marillion live in 1986 opening for Rush. I thought Marillion would just play a bunch of songs from their first 3+ albums, but when the show started Fish took the stage and said, "We have just enough time to get this in. This is an album called Misplaced Childhood." With the first notes of "Pseudo Silk Kimono" the crowd roared. Best concert I ever saw. Well worth the 18 hour (!) train ride to get there.

I've always really loved both _"Kayleigh"_ and _"Lavender"._ Note that _"Lavender"_ is almost certainly a reference to the long-time folk song _"Lavender Blue (Dilly Dilly)",_ done by Burl Ives and Sammy Kaye (among many others, I'm sure). The Burl Ives version is available right here on KZbin. Hmm. So is the Sammy Kaye version. The version by SK says: _"Charted at #4 in Billboard in December 1948. Vocals by the Three Kaydets. Based on an English folk song and nursery rhyme. It was featured in the 1948 movie, "So Dear to My Heart", as sung by Burl Ives."_

No "almost" about this being a clear reference to Lavender's Blue, the old folk song ;-) According to Wikipedia the song originates in the 17th century. There are many versions of it, including the ones you mentioned. The Fish/Marillion song is very clear about it being a well known song: the narrator hears children sing it in the park. This is one of the reasons why Misplaced Childhood is such a fantastic album, apart from the great music. Fish really takes the listener on a journey. The whole thing is superb story telling.

In Jan. '85 I arrived at Holy Loch Scotland in the Navy and within months one of my shipmates turned me on to Misplaced Childhood. I immediately fell in love with their lyrics and sound. Being in a half American and half Scottish member band I quickly found out how much metal and hard rocker Scottish loved this band and was hooked for life on the Fish and early Hogarth albums. Decades later I still love listening to them just no longer on vinyl or cassette. I was fortunate to see them twice, once in Edinburgh and at a Donnington Monsters of Rock multi-concert. I still cherish them as a great little "best kept secret" and still to this day I sip Drambuie as mentioned on Clutching at Straws. Doug, I have watched a lot of your review of music I have enjoyed over the the decades and I appreciate your coverage of anything Marillion. I have found that there seems to be a theme of Fish's song and lyrics that were peaking at Clutching at Straws and/or the peak of his struggles with alcohol and whatnot. I also still love the idea of the bands name from Tolkien. Anyway, a little late to the (Garden) party for your review, but thank you.
@jwaktare2 жыл бұрын
Another enjoyable and though provoking analysis - Thanks Doug As an FYI "lavender's green dilly dilly" is a UK nursery rhythm and the fact that Fish felt that this children's song was the song that he (as a successful rock singer/lyricist) failed to write for his lamented recently lost lover has always been a very poignant thought for me. While I love a diverse range of music, Fish's emotion laden poetic wordplay and singing combined with the musicianship and song writing of the rest of the band was a unique combo and I love all four of the Fish era albums (while still a fan of both' halves later separate work)

Fish once said that Script, Fugazi and Misplaced were a trilogy of thoughts. Script was Bedsit thoughts when Fish first joined Marillion and living in bedsits and touring, staying in dingy B&B's. Fugazi was hotel thoughts when the band broke out and staying in hotels. Neither of these were actual concepts but the love songs were about mainly one person, Kay-Lee. She was a former girlfriend of Fish and obviously the inspiration for that song. Then comes Misplaced, a concept album he dubbed Home Thoughts. This was about being on the road and wondering what he should do; be with her, be the big rock star or be back home in Scotland. Its about that break up and when you get to the song Childhoods End, releasing he has to break away from her. I can relate to this album as it came out just as I broke up with a wonderful girl and I was left devastated. That album got me through a dark period. and although heartbreaking, when you get to Childhoods End, you realise there's reason and hope. Fish is a true poet and he had a great band behind him to put that poetry to music.

This album is a true 80's classic and, you're right, the Peter Gabriel resemblance is very strong. Misplaced Childhood was one of the first "neo-prog" albums - with this type of synthesizer sound, this style of Genesis-influenced vocal, and a less complex, more melodic and through-composed style of music (more Genesis, Pink Floyd, and Collins-era Genesis than other, highly complex prog bands like ELP, Yes, Rush, etc.) Other bands playing this style since then are IQ, Pendragon, Arena, Jadis, and Shadowland. "Harvest of Souls" by IQ has been recommended before and I would also strongly suggest checking out Pendragon, specifically something off The Masquerade Overture, The Window of Life, or Not of This World (three pretty much untouchable neo-prog albums), if you like this style.

One of my all-time favorites. It's interesting that you mentioned the familiarity with Peter Gabriel's voice. I've always felt the two most passionate singers I've ever listened to are Fish and Peter Gabriel. They had a capability of reaching into your chest and touching your heart. Fish (Derek Dick) is seriously one of the finest lyricists ever. Lavendar is actually a children's song adapted to fit this mini-suite (as stated by Mr. Drosehn below). My personal favorite Mariliion album is Clutching At Straws. The song White Russian is lyrically one of the most impressives songs ever written. It applies very much to what is happening in Europe this very minute 2-24-22 - give it a listen if you haven't already -- "Uzi's on the street corner!"

Great reaction. Perhaps my “desert island” album. The lyrics to start are straightforward and later become more complex with multiple interpretations similar to most of his lyrics. Lavender “Dilly Dilly” is a lyrical play on a Childrens’ song, with one interpretation being that the character was not yet mature enough for a true relationship and so he sings a kids song to his love. The usage of the name Kayleigh was the first known usage, after which there was an explosion of girls named Kayleigh in the UK and beyond that are all about 20-30 years old right now. 😃 I would also suggest the Hotel Hobbies/Warm Wet Circles/That Time of the Night trilogy off their next album.

"Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors" or "View From the Hill" (with Iron Maiden's Jannick Gers on lead guitar) would make great subjects. As would "Internal Exile" or "Credo" from his second solo album. "Goldfish and Clowns" is killer too (from Sunsets on Empire).

This band is an absolute treasure. First saw the Kayleigh music video on MTV and instantly fell in love with them. I believe Rush helped bring them to America back then, to help expose them to American audiences. I was blessed with a daughter in 1987 and of course, named her Kayleigh. A brilliant, accomplished, progressive rock band, underappreciated by the mainstream public. They have an extremely loyal following however.

Interesting, yes, i believe they were never very well-known in the U.S., but pretty damn big 1985-1988 in Europe.They constantly toured in Europe at this time.

Not heard any of this for a few years. Reminds me of my vinyls which are still in the ‘record case’ . I saw Marillion a few times at Hammersmith Odeon, usually with my old Mate Martin Mathews (RIP)

I was on that concert in December (with many snow). So this completly album is a "winter-album" for me.

pretty many comments cause I found this channel today when listening to the re upload of queen at Live Aid 1985 where I always remember the heat of that day and my preparation of our racing shell after the concert had started and I had to take a break, 2 hours later I went back and misplaced childhood was the album of that weekend in the prepartion of my last country champs or better heats and finals before being drafted to my military duty back then. I heard it day in and out on my walkman just to get the mood for the race ... but still the U2, Queen and howard jones tunes in my mind as Phil Collins face value I guess. Marillion became the name of another racing shell and the brother of my then girl friend was the biggest Marillion fan of all who died a few years later in an unsolved car accident and took her with him. Still enjoy Fish , also Marillion, but nothing comes close to the early albums and the art work we lost when Vinyl disappeared. Still have some of these well crafted albums in Vinyl with the huge booklet.

A Tab of Acid, the loss on a friend and realisation you are not a child any longer but an adult on borrowed time. Mylo is based on a excellent drummer John Mylett from the the UK Liverpool bands Nutz and later Rage who was killed along with his then girlfriend in Ibiza, spain in a fatal car crash. I met John Mylett a couple of times seen him play in Nuts and Rage locally in the late 1970s early 1980s before he was killed.. What a sad tale Misplaced Childhood is. excellent work by Fish..
