  • No dislikes that´s the way to do it! .-)

  • Think... a billion people never "really" listen to Marillion!

  • I'm going to see Stillmarillion (Marillion Tribute Band) in Feb 2012 in Edinburgh. I hope they play this as well as just about every other track they made with Fish.

  • @ginbrandy Whats the venue?

  • The whole album still puts a lump in my throat!

  • this lp and "Childhood" are absolute gold!!!!!

  • @JamBass6 You are correct - those are the two BEST Marillion albums...

  • Rothery is a guy who unfairly has been ignored as guys like Gilmour and others have been lauded..ROTHERY IS A MASTERFUL GUITARIST!!!!!

  • One of their best songs, and by far their best album. I've already worn two down on vinyl.

  • I have a shivers when i hear this guitar intro. Simply the best

  • I first listened to Marillion with Fish as the lead, when I was 14. Am now 41 - there is not much in life that is so fantastic, it lasts...

  • One of my favourite Albums. Marillion were never the same again - current singer's voice is awful.

  • You could not be more correct.

  • 24 years later - although this is the first I have listen to it in a decade - this remains one of my favorite albums.

  • @CenyddRos just rediscovering too, 20 years for me, yoiks!

  • Just play it on auto-repeat on the stereo full blast. Does it for me!

  • Actually the rest of the song is pretty god damn great as well.

  • Quite simply one of the greatest intro ever.

  • it just doesn't get any better. It just doesn't.

  • best album on the planet.. no wonder he quit, went out on a high, devastating as it was at the time, just listening to this, i understand exactly why you did it mate..

  • There is a song that Steve Hogarth and Steve Rothery jammed with Dream Theater on the 5 Years in Live Time DVD. It never showed the title, but it is an AMAZING tune. Can anyone tell me what song that is, and what album it came from?

  • @zangazoo2007 It must be "Easter" from the album "Seasons end" (1989)

  • @9anton64 Yeah it is. I actually watched the ending credits on the DVD and saw it. What a brilliant song, and I now get why the guys really got into Marillion. It is such a shame that they are so underrated in music.

  • We are used to listen to great guitar players like Mark Knopfler, Santana, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, David Guilmour, and we forget others that play the guitar so melodic and with a lot of emotion, like Steve Rothery...A great guitar player in my opinion.

    Look also for Andrew Latimer, the Guitar player of the band Camel.Another great player...forgotten!!

  • I´m a Marillion fan since 1985. In my opinion, this album Clutching at Straws, got great songs, but the better well orchestrated album of theme are the Misplaced Childhood. You must known him very well, to learn where the songs starts and ends...a Masterpiece!, no doubt.

  • Clutching At Straws is a slightly better album then Misplaced Childhood. EMI and Capitol overlooked it because Fish wanted to do something a bit more deep and meaningful this time around instead of wearing Sgt. Pepper uniforms and pseudo silk kimonos. "Incommunicado" is a fast-paced anthem, "Sugar Mice" and Time of the Night" are the best ballads Marillion ever did. It's still synthesisers and prog, but the quality is incredible. More about humans and less about wizards and jesters. Epic.

  • esa hora de la noche me pose a pensar que la vida es bella igual que esta musica me acuerdo que era 31 de diciembre 2010 yo esta solo y la pase solo con una botella de vokca pensando porque estoy solo y lo supe no tenia a nadie pero con la musica esta bien gracia marillion

  • their best album?

  • @cosmicrider287 for me the best as well. the first three song surpass everything they wrote before. for me

  • Good lyrics

  • Very good stuff !

  • Best of the best song

  • Just to add i've always loved Rothery's guitar work, a bit like Dave Gilmour, not exactly the same style but the feeling they put into their playing.....Class!

  • Soooooooooo atmospheric! In fact the whole album is.  24 years young (well nearly) and it hasn't dated in the slightest imo. Fish is such a brilliant lyricist and the rest of the band complimented him superbly. The Hogarth era is great as well (caught them live back in '97). Cheers for posting.

  • simply stunning!!!!..the whole track is awesome but up to 1:40 its almost mystical! transports you to another place,not many bands capable of that

  • shame all of you don't realise the majority of fish's work is in conjunction with alchoholism, think about it. i have.

  • The Great Album.................!!!

  • The atmosphere is AMAZING!

  • Musical perfecion...

  • They just capture a poise of sentiment in this album, this was the peak of Marillions original progression through every album with fish, haunting and very melancholic, with the desire to capture an expression which only the common man can feel

  • the one and only

    FISH

  • Best album of all time IMO.

  • This is my absolute favorite marillion song ... and that ending guitar cord progression as the female sings "warm wet circles" is so f... ing awesome! I spent quite some time trying to learn it on guitar and I just love playing it over and over!

  • I think of Brian Jones and the spontanious warmth he gave to strangers, just being nice and full of heart without any prejudice. Just a nice fellow. Lost. gentle. When the rest where just arrogant. Brian had this quality. Miss you.

  • summer of 87 never forget it.

  • I think it's my favorite Marillion song. The beginning is so progressive!

  • defo one of the best albums in my collection...the guitar on this track sends shivers down my spine....

  • Amazing song !

  • I absolutely love this album..., it's easily the best album i own.

  • I was at a party somewhere in Pragh last autum, and I met some mature rough western girls (in jeans and leather jackets, sunglases, lots of make up, smoking cigarettes, you know), that was convinced they had nothing more to learn about rock music. Well, that was until I told them about this album. They listened to the music and admitted afterwards it was impressive....................­....Marillion, yeah!

  • to be honest, this album is miles better than misplaced chilhood. There's some proper prog rock and really good songwriting here.

  • @Xanaseb you can't call either album better, they're different

  • The first three songs on this album make a nice little "suite" in quintessential Fish fashion. As a three-song suite, this is one of the most memorable parts of this great album. Rothery's inspired guitar playing makes it sublime...

  • Uwielbiam do tego albumu wracać...

    Nadal przejmuje...

  • Their darkest masterpiece!

  • Rothery is pure genious, totally underestimated. Love this song, and warm wet circles, what wonderful lyrics by fish. Awsome album to..

  • @diwilso Steve needs and deserves more credit, damn right! He wrote all this incredible music.

  • What an awesome song.

    Rothery is amazing!!!!

    Great album too!!!

    Marillions last great one.

  • one of the all time best albums!!

  • Awesome song!

  • i love the echo thing of the guitar in the begin, like im slowly dreaming away beatiful!!

  • Thank you for posting !
