Marillion are the hidden gem of rock music. Probably the most under rated band in history.

[@yippeethreeeight]

Not probably. Definitely.

[@jaiguru8487]

💯 agree

[@mikescriber1777]

I do not think there is a singer who brings this much emotion, passion and effort into his art as much as Hogarth does. Fish was amazing, but I feel Hogarth has taken his art to another level. It certainly helps to be surrounded by incredible musicians. I never get tired of listening to Marillion.

[@pawelkono]

Marillion is one of few bands that actually move people, and change lives.

[@SebGeddy]

"A bridge is not a high place, the 52nd floor, Icarus would know, a mountain isn't far to fall when you've fallen from the moon." And now I burst into tears

[@andrewgreen6429]

Me too buddy, me too

[@JaymzChop]

That makes us 3 🥲🥲

[@TheProEnderman]

And another makes 4😢

[@agr7879]

Yet another Marillion masterpiece. There’s just SO many to choose from

[@melancholyhussar]

Best band ever. Originality, compositions, musicianship, emotional delivery - no other band comes close. They are consistently amazing live and have had no personnel changes since 1989.

[@dgmsstuff]

this is one of my favourite songs ever

[@SebGeddy]

The entangled melodies of Mark Kelly (keyboards) and Steve Rothery (guitar) on the last solo are just to die for

[@andrewgreen6429]

That riff from Steve Rothery’s guitar. It rips my heart clean out. Best guitar solo ever anywhere by anyone ❤❤❤

[@jeffchristie1541]

welcome on board sir , Marillion the best kept secret .

[@TheBez58]

Jim there was a moment when you went yea perfect , when your a member of the family after listening to this hundreds of times at that moment we cry , I just love your reaction the tears will come they will get you x

[@JimNewstead]

Hi John, it was good, and that guitar solo starting at that exact moment.... perfection!

[@pedropaixao8453]

I had the privilege of being at the Marillion Weekend in Lisbon this year, and I was absolutely fabulous. I love these guys.

[@BehonestBestitchedup]

Made me cry in first note! Boy I’m so weak!

[@pasit1738]

Yehes! Taken from Marillion's one of the best, a concept album, Brave. Which is bloody brilliant! Great joice, Jim! We want more! We want more! We want more!

[@pasit1738]

And, please, react to Marillion's Invisible man!

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

He needs to buy that whole live. Brave. Live is them being perfection.

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

King is amazing!

Jim please.. do Gaza!

[@mickb44]

best band , seen them numerous times over the years and brave the album a classic

[@steftones1]

Omg What a great voice.

[@Dudemon-1]

Imagine what it used to be like before it went downhill!

[@steftones1]

@@Dudemon-1 you Mean fish days? Not My favorite

[@Dudemon-1]

steftones1 -- I mean that Hogarth's voice used to be much better. He's now having to drop octaves and cover up.

[@steftones1]

@@Dudemon-1 okay, i see. Some voices dont age very well, but This isnt so many years ago or?

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

@@Dudemon-1 he certainly is still using his voice teally well FEAR when he sings Fuck Everone And Run in the New Kings suite still packs a punch! I love his voice it is powerful and emotional and h himself is a great guy always striving for new things. The day they stop doing that is when they should stop. I.have lived since 1985. And when h took over I liked them even more because they were acting as a unit which was dearly lacking in Live At Lorely ( IMHO)

[@nigelblake1558]

First saw Marillion in 1983, seen them live 200+ times now, and on top of that seen Steve Hogarth solo shows and Steve Rothery band shows too! Not once have I been disappointed! They are the best live band I have ever seen, I’m 70 next year, I’ve seen Genesis, Zeppelin, Bowie, Pink Floyd, and countless other bands too, but Marillion deliver something above and beyond every time they are on stage, electrifying, emotional, epic and completely in touch with the fans in an almost psychic way, they have something very special to give, every show is a special event!

[@juantudares3702]

Simply Brilliant

[@momoflowers6333]

One of THE most epic songs out there. It’s truly stunning. Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Steve Hogarth is in his mid sixties now and still sings as well as he did years ago. His pipes haven’t failed him yet 😆

[@INCHO222]

Love this track and thanks for listening Jim - there is a moment in this song that never fails to move me to tears - and it gets to you too! Its the wonderful emotive guitar solo as the song reaches its crescendo...6:35 in your vid....you really nailed it when you say "Perfect". Its my favourite moment in music.

[@chadmitchell7648]

Agreed, that same moment gets me every time. Saw them in Dallas last year and Rothery had me crying like a babe.

[@rogerrodrigues3528]

Love...love...love...Marillion❤

Marillion Can break your Heart with splendor

[@MrSadsack56]

did you get that emotional roll from his vocals.. know i always do.. one of the best songs ever written and played

[@xenophon343]

Loved it! I'd never listened to these guys but it sounds like they're really talented.

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

Best group in the world... best fanbade in the world.. we're like a big happy family!!

[@rmsjesus]

explore more Marillion and i will fall in love

[@stephenhaunch3468]

Oh and the space at royal Albert hall. Pretty amazing

[@satchfan2010]

Yes, that one is brilliant!!

[@NmDPlm31]

Fallin’ From The Moon is, for me, the emotional heart of this album. I’ve been moved by it right from the first listen all those years ago.

[@1967davidfitness]

I saw them play Brave in Cologne, Germany 1994. It was my first and only time at one of their concerts, and it was fantastic! Steve Hogarth was climbing all over the scenery above the stage, he was also splendid in ladies clothing, true that. :)

[@f3rn4ndrum5]

I wish I could listen to this song for the first time again

[@ChrisEchoes]

That big tent = the flagship Marillion Weekend tent in the Netherlands. A complete holiday parc is rented out and filled with Marillion fans from all over The World for a long weekend filled with 3 evening long Marillion concerts (and all with entire different setlists) plus some very good support acts (well, most of the time).

[@davidsimpson8192]

Just one of the best ever.. Full stop❤️

[@claudiadavies5110]

Sublime band, move me to tears regularly! Steve's performances are extraordinary. Marbles on the Road is an epic DVD!

[@SebGeddy]

What more can be said about that masterpiece... A majestic powerful mini-suite which never fails to bring tears to my eyes, cause though it deals with dark themes, it's filled with compassion and humanity.

[@vin65old]

Jim the band are Steve Hogarth lead vocals, Steven Rothery lead guitar, Peter Trewavas bass guitar, Ian Mosley drums, Mark Kelly keyboards

[@satchfan2010]

Glad you listened to it, even more glad that you enjoyed it!

[@robertdavies234]

For me, and they have many outstanding songs, their best song hogarth era, with care a very close second

[@TheAsphyx666]

Honestly, I've never heard a more emotionally expressive singer than Steve Hogarth. Just incredible.

[@delorangeade]

Welcome to Marillion. I think you've started with two real high points, but there is much in the band's catalogue that's equally satisfying. I think the moment here when Steve Rothery's solo comes in on Falling From the Moon is one of the most sublime moments in music. For a contrast next time maybe try The Space or King or Out of this World.

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

Yep King. Seasons End Oh sod it just play them all!

[@brigitte-annedeparceveaux2910]

Watching this back again after all your marillion reviews. The look on your face of what have I missed and seeing you fall for marillion......glad you re engaged with them 👍😊

[@tonyfurminger8308]

Hi Jim. Loving watching you discover my favourite band. You should try This Strange Engine next, the 2nd guitar solo will slay you, or The Invisible Man. You've got some amazing music ahead of you, my man

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

Dunno but one of my favourites is White Paper off of FEAR.. I's like an constant in my hesd.. god knows why. But my ultimate song is the one you just heard... someone said about his not so good I mean WTF... you try doing 3 gigs over 3 nights.. out in Q&A's.. photo ops etc.

[@brianwhitney5441]

I'm 63 years old I have seen a lot of shows and like a lot of different bands these days always bring me to tears. Whether it's this singer or fish it never fails .

[@batrounydah]

Dear Jim, it happened at Centre Parcs, The Netherlands in 9th of march 2013 and it was indeed an excellent Marillion Weekend.

[@davidantell2855]

So cool to share some Marillion with people after all these years. From the H era, Living the Big Lie, Working Town, 100 Nights... so many great songs.

[@fraukeroberts6590]

Yes Perfect 😭☺😮 Hits every emotion

[@jenratcliffe7232]

Brave was my first introduction to Marillion. I second Tony's suggestion of This Strange Engine next. Has one of my favourite guitar solos in.

[@fdsannie]

You got me listening to them........ His theatrics are ? :-) But I love his voice! I loved the guitar solo. I loved the song............. Thanks for sharing again!

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

H literally put everything into his concerts! He fell off the stage right in front of me and just carried on singing as a security guy helped him up@@!

[@Cuckoograham]

His theatrics are brilliant, genuinely felt and expressed. He lives and breathes every song. A magical performer in every sense.

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

There's alot more where that came from.Marillion was meant to be a live band. The usually bring out an album then just go touring and their convention weekends. If you ever venture deeper in look up it being live. Also if yiu go on Marillion.com they even give out a free CD to see how you feel about their music.

[@brianandjillianadamson5479]

You really have to hear Holidays In Eden.. Dry Land is such a wow track.. The Space on Season's End is another.. Just so so many to choose from.

Great 👍 Jim

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

You should listen to much more.. it's from PZ centre parks in Netherlands a 3 gig weekend 2013. Glad you found them.. Get Brave the album as it's kinda all one story!!

[@jmurray2018]

I’m quite emotional listening to this and I don’t know why this is spectacular

[@ShlisaShell]

I like watching your breathing change. Definitely breath taken music. I too am catching up.

[@debastian]

It's so awesome how his voice singing merges into an e-guitar solo. Super emotional song though I do not know what he sings about...

[@agr7879]

The most incredible band on the planet. I genuinely feel sorry for those, like yourself, who’ve missed out all these years to there spellbinding music

[@TEZBB]

if you havent already, you need to listen to An Hour Before Its Dark

[@babyk8047]

nice video Jim this track is an absolute belter really starting to appreciate hogarth finally now

[@SteveDBarney]

Best band in the world

[@chadmitchell7648]

Great choice from a great album. Jim, the instructions on the liner notes suggest you to "Play it loud, with the lights off." and I can tell you that listening to this album in full, exactly like that, is a spiritual experience. Not something you could really do a reaction video to, of course. ;)

[@theturtleproject]

musics best kept secret , best band in the world

[@jaiguru8487]

Every time I hear this song i think to myself ..Steve Hogarth is a genius..and very rarely does geniuses get recognition! Im glad to admit i recognise his talent, sensitivity, beauty of creation lyricism and so on!

[@debnorton4467]

Nice one Jim. Brave is an album with a story (there was a movie of the album too. ) Highly recommend you listen to the album from start to finish. The story it follows is powerful, emotional, heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting. There is no better band on the planet in my opinion and the guys do so much for us fans. 💜

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

Listen to it all through.. even after that buy the live show of it. It's 25 years old! But it still sounds fresh!

[@cidnone115]

Fantastic

[@falseprophet1972]

Saw them play Brave the first time round at Guildford Civic Hall and the Forum Kentish Town. Good times.

[@HarryPotter573]

Filmed on convention weekend at Port Zelande

[@KimDryden19]

IMHO, the reason people like (LOVE) Marillion is that they are not in any way out just recycling their old stuff, for old fans, and for bored musicians... They consistently create new music, putting out a new album every two years or so, and while some of it is lighter, the vast majority of it is beyond deep. Of all the bands I've loved in my life, these guys stay at the top BECAUSE of the lyrics, in which you can find real life stories, written really well. (Partial bit of the long article...) "Out of This World" about the loss of the Bluebird (From the Times: "'Bluebird' Donald Malcolm Campbell (1921-1967) set water speed records of 202.32 mph (1955), 276.33 (1964). In a jet-powered automobile, he set the land speed record of 403.1 mph (1964)...Campbell was said to be obsessed with regaining the water speed record after losing it in 1965. In 1967, against the advice of his racing team, Campbell took Bluebird II out on to Coniston Water in the Cumbrian Lake District... Although only slight, the waves on the lake were sufficient to flip his craft into the air, killing Campbell. In March 2001, Bluebird was raised from the murky waters. A Times article dated Friday March 9th 2001, reveals that Marillion played a key part in the recovery... Found here: " marillionations.blogspot.com/1995/06/out-of-this-world.html " ) Worth a read through one of these days. And this is only one, but one of their all time most beautiful all said.

[@sequentialscott]

Lovely song - it’s the climactic song from the Brave album. Steve Rothery is possibly my favorite guitarist - phrasing over speed, and very emotional. BTW, a new Riverside album is coming at the end of September, and there new single is on KZbin now.

[@jesusborrajo2154]

masterpiece

[@tronatore1]

To me the great escape is one of those iconic to be song in prog. Brave is a CD not many know about. In my opinion maybe marillions best

[@thijs941]

Nice to see how much you're enjoying this music. I've had the same kind of revelation about two years ago, and there's a lot to discover haha. I would recommend you to listen to Ocean Cloud, from the album Marbles, and to new album (2016) F.E.A.R., particularly two songs - El Dorado and The New Kings. But again - there's so much more than just that. Hope you enjoy it!

[@JimNewstead]

It's a journey, that's for sure! Thanks :)

[@abranco4523]

Great 👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷

[@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966]

You need to the hear and watch the whole of Brave!!!!

[@stephenhaunch3468]

JIM, you obviously need something longer, even though the crowd reaction for "GO" at the Albert Hall is great. I would still say This Strange engine or Ocean Cloud. Thanks for the mention. I am travelling from NZ next April for the convention, that's how mad we are us Marillion Anoraks!

[@GaryParris]

check out the story behind it, a very undervalued band in mainstream but thats ok because they loved by a very loyal group of appreciative followers! and its a mutual love of their music that keep the band and fans connected! :O)

[@WardenOfSouls]

Hey Jim! another cool one :) I have thought about something that i didnt talk to you about. Id like to see you reacting to the Band "Skyclad" With their Song "Words fail me". Its a Band that is not that well know but it basically created 2 genres that are really popular in rock and metal. Im not gonna tell which ones tho ;) Just that a lot fo people should appreciate it more.. but thats the case with many awesome bands. The song is from their newest Album and i finally..this year... had the chance to see them live and talk to them for hours. That was one of my biggest dreams cause i know them since i was a little boy and nobody else i met knew them at all.. i was so suprised when they showed up on my favourite festival. They went through much and they were really really great live and yes.. they played that song Live and it was daaamn awesome. It also has a pretty strong message :D I know i recommend quite a few songs but i usually dont ask for a reaction video directly, usually i just exchange awesome music with you ..but this one is too special ^^ Have a nice weekend! (had to edit that. stupid me typed in the wrong song name o.o)

[@MrDantres]

Brave - their best post-Fish era's album!

[@Cybercygni]

I can recommend Transatlantic as Pete Trewavas also plays.

[@thefairyqueen369]

If you don't get goosebumps from this, there is no hope for you :). There is a very clear and deep story here and Steve and the band bring it to life and it is how the most wonderful thing that there is in life, when treated with disrespect, can bring so much pain and destruction.........

[@dyfedrichards5250]

Welcome to Marillion Jim. More people need to relook at this incredible band and get past that pop one hit 1980's wonder we all know to love to hate. The early days were great but Fish is long gone. Onto bigger and better things. They are amazing and more people need to figure that out.

[@pegofranco5541]

I did the same mistake, now maillon evry day

[@TheCornishCockney]

One of those bands who are better live than their studio stuff. Now you've found them,check out their very fine catalogue. the fish era and todays line up is as different as early genesis and mama. Fish was also superb,have a look at "market square hero" live,stunning.

[@jamesfrazier4005]

Elbrus "Break the Machine" is a not known song by a not known band. You probably wont listen to the song, but of you do.. it is a blues/rock/stoner metal just mixed into this beautiful piece of music.

[@kirynkokos5751]
