Marillion - Happiness is the Road - EPK

[Fons1958]

You say you respect me...except when I express my love for Christ here. So what you actually say is; I don't want your to talk about a certain subject.

But I see a lot of posts with words like satan, the F* word etc all over YouTube. That is all OK and "cool" and easy because you just go with the flow.

There is nothing brave about going with the flow. I'm sorry, but I hate satan, the F* word and all that is against love, which is Jusus Christ, the Son of God.

[Fons1958]

Happiness is: Love your brother and sister...which is EVERY human !

[MrTornado61]

Marillion you are just brilliant been lissten to you for 30 years Thank you so much for everything and keep going strong I wish you the best a simple old Portugis Fan that lives in Sweden keep creating.

[Fons1958]

I am a huge fan of Marillion and can't thank them enough for all their beautiful albums made! But one thing I don't get: you guys talk about (a) Spirit(uality) and all that comes fore from this, such as love, beauty, talents, creativity...this must be a VERY loving Spirit. Why can't you guys see that this Spirit is our God that came to HIS earth as a human - just like us - by the name of Jesus Christ...which is the creator of ALL things? How can evil, anger or pride give us love? No way !!!

[midobecker1]

@Fons1958 The world is complex and we all respect each other's believe. While, you love to have Jesus in your life and to wear on your sleeve. There are others who we really don't see the world as just that. Nevertheless, I respect you. Why not to do the same without bringing your jesus to places where no one is disputing it???

[jake56ification]

thank you to marillion for so many years of great music.  both with fish and H. they truly are fantastic musicians who continue to surprise me with the much creativity left inside then. with to do music sound so the same thank go your here. thank you.

[SovereignBeing]

when are u coming down under kiddies?

[gashebrum]

one of my favourite marillion album! Magnificient

[supramid]

mejor banda de todas, lejos 

[Silmarillion1973]

What a great album it turned out to be

[thehansenman]

Great band! Awesome songs! I love Marillion!

Happiness truly is the road.

One last question: What's the song at 9:22?

[MARBLES81]

You're Gone - the top ten hit from 2004

[PositiveLastAction]

Hard to say what my favorite Marillion would be..."Happiness" is great and has many absolutely brilliant moments. I love the title track but would not agree that it's "right up there with the best they have done" ...still brilliant. Marillion forever!!

[brazenhubris]

all great bands are their own genre

[humejames10]

ian mosley for president!

[CzechGuardian]

HitR is one of my very favourites. Both musically and lyrically, a real jewel. Throw me Out, Thunder Fly, Trap the Spark... hell I'd just name all the songs anyway. Buy it, listen to it, love it.

[alextw13jf]

Note the altered brands of the keyboards behind Mark Kelly; Borg and Poland; hilarious. Ehm, needless to say, one of the greatest bands ever although ultra under-rated; but.. who cares?

[MARBLES81]

Brilliant album

[lobomau100]

what a wonderful album...Happiness is the road, wrapped up in time and especially true are the best ones. Now, my favorite Marillion songs are:

This is the 21st century ; When i meet God, The Great Escape, Out of this world, Neverland, Ocean Cloud and that three above

[treyzzer]

essence has some uptempo songs that i missed from marillion,,,, of course they are the best band ever but i kinda missed faster songs from them since they re so awesome

[Tomm67]

Was eine Hammer Band !!! und sie werden immer besser :-))

Thank You Mrs H and Band

[progkidjoel]

REAL TEARS FOR SALE!

[Brandmover]

Thank you for performing it soon in Sofia!

[alfromo2000]

Gracias por todos estos años!

[bernywiis]

perfeccion sobre el talento gracias a todos los marillion

[slooy43]

Marillion is great !! love them

[NEWversionofOLDskool]

the man from the planet marzipan is one of my favourite songs ever!

thank god my dad brought me up with this music rather than the rap-crap there is now!

I LOVE MARILLION NEW AND OLD

xx

[Nenyatha]

Wish my dad had brought me up with Marillion as well, could have been if had only known them I think.. Good thing I did find them on my own in time to enjoy whatever new they make and go digging in their back catalogue.. Gotta love those chaps for all the feeling and talent they pour into the music they create!

[progkidjoel]

My dad brought me up on Prog (YES and Genesis mostly), and now I've developed my own love of other prog, such as Marillion.

He loves them now too, and hopefully I can give him so more great music to thank him for keeping me ON prog and OFF snoopy dog and brittany fucking spears.

[swoell]

I was at the first concert of the tour in Scotland, Inverness...was great.

But why in hell didn`t they play " state of mind "...I love this song. =)

[damidob]

But why why why did they not play Trap the Spark on their Tour?By far the best track from the new stuff.

Still a great gig though.

And when you consider that Duff'y's album is the "best album of 2008" at the Brit awards.........

Ah well - the Brits are a lot of garbage.

[GrendelPL]

What happened to the old tech-crew? Krakow concert was amazing - as always - from emotional point of view, but completely sucked technically! Sound was terrible, until 'Out Of This World'. In every louder part was f*ked... I love your music, but it was the worst (technically only!) concert i ever attended!

[jmtl1969]

Marillion una de mis bandas preferidas de siempre, que recuerdos. grandes temas, musicos excelentes. Creci con esta musica. Es una grata noticia que sacan un nuevo cd.¡¡¡¡¡Siempre geniales!!!!!!!!!!!

[GrendelPL]

I just can't wait for february 9th... What an amazing album it is... I hope everything will turn out ok, and the concert will take place in Wisla Hall / Krakow / Poland as planned (the last time, concert was moved to some other, smaller place).

Just bring some mechandise and cd's with you :)

[ChipMidnight]

I remember how lonely it was being a huge Marillion fan in the US for the first three albums. Amazing that after all this time they're still making fantastic music and have attracted such a huge and loyal fan base all over the world. Truly one of a kind. Fish's latest was brilliant too. Thanks for so much wonderful music and memories lads!

[jchahin13]

this album is awesome! the lads did it again!

[forrestlyone]

Terrific album!!! Does anyone else LOVE "Trap the Spark"??? The whole album is great! time will tell how it will rank for me, but It's wonderful...but than again, what would you expect otherwise from Marillion?

[damidob]

Yesah - Trap the Spark, love it. But funnily enough love whole of Essence and virtually from first listen Very strange. Normally their stuff needs about a dozen listens. Anyway, now turning attention to the Hard Shoulder....

[Geges45]

The good news of the year !! you guys rock ! will buy it very soon

[irishmanufan]

saw you guys in london 10 days or so ago . gig rocked , album rocked . end of :-)

[dirckson]

That's right, just don't listen to fans who differ....talk straight what is bend!

So how many albums have you sold?

This is NO Marillion as we know it! Michael Hunter is THE WORST producer!

Why not Dave Meegan, the guy that produced their best Albums??? Hunter was a second hand at the time...and STILL is!

[dirckson]

I'm a life-long hardcore Marillion fan but Hapiness is HIDIOUS!!! Nothing left from the beautiful strat sounds from Steve...No Brave, No Marbles..WHAT Were you thinking????

Terrible !!! HOW CAN YOU CALL THIS "BETTER TEN WE EVER DONE ???? ARE YOU GUYS SICK???

[nighdawg]

Utterly fantastic. Don't listen to the negative rubbish, continue forging your beautiful path!

[JoeWaters87]

Urgh why with all the Fish comments?

He left the band 20 YEARS AGO! Get over it! sheesh!

[marillionfan0000]

Are you kidding me? Fish is so much better than H. This new Marillion sound has gotten so mundane it's the same album every time. Whatever happened to the real hits like Forgotten Sons, Grendel and everything off Misplaced Childhood.

[DittoMusic]

You can catch the guys talking about their new album and answering

fan questions this Thursday on Ditto Music Live

Ditto Music Live

Thursday 8pm

Sky 180, Red TV

[chanterdan]

I love Fish,and i love Marillion.Steve H has made his mark!

[irishmanufan]

agreed . i never took sides . both fish and marillion are still class acts .

[ytsename]

Ahh, i wan't it now!

[Tharsisdrip]

Arrived yesterday - Amazing artwork and package. Musically and lyrically tops - several beautiful tracks, several moments of chills, all interesting, experimental, and free. I did not think Marbles would be topped, but I think this just did it...

[BigCiapper71]

Finalmente questo pomeriggio e' arrivato il mio bel pacchettino con i 2 cd..........e il mio nome sulla prima pagina del book 1.........fantastico......DISC­O CAPOLAVORO ASSOLUTO!!!!!!!!!!!

[forrestlyone]

Just got my campaign edition today! The book and artwork is incredible and the music is sublime..thanks again Marillion!!!!!

[JoeWaters87]

OMG!

The album arrived on my doorstep this morning, and what can I say??

Just....STUNNING!!!! Their best album yet I say! =D

[splinteringheart89]

Came home from work yesterday to find the album on my doorstep.Excellent value.I know people are upset about paying for this when it's being downloaded too but it's a lose lose situation for both the band & the hardcore fans.With £30 for this £20 for a gig ticket & £15 for a tour shirt i've always felt marillion prices were well within the budget of the ordianary working fan.

[marillionados]

Happiness is now on the road... can't wait till it arrives!

[JoeWaters87]

Anyone know when their being posted?

[JoeWaters87]

the pre-orders I mean...LOL! Sorry if that wasn't clear

[forrestlyone]

I think October 20th

[yourrandomnightmare]

Because Marillion RULE!

Fact! =D

[MARBLES81]

Having listened to the album loads now, it is really stunning.

[forrestlyone]

It's amazing..although I am waiting for my CD to arrive before listening to "Hard Shoulder" (admit I listened to "Marzipan" and it's brilliant). Thank God for Marillion..truly the best band on Earth.

[zwebert31]

pumped that i got featured...marillion rocks!

[jhary66]

I have never seen Marillion in concert, one of my dreams-will come true someday. Love the new disc,So much music to come out on one album, have to drink it all in. There are several standout tunes though-A state of mind,thunderfly,essence.I cant wait my full cd to come-...

[vsx16v]

Marillion in Bulgaria in 2009 :)

[pythag123]

Yeah! Marillion Weekend in Canada!

[sukkel70]

Just another great album from a great band. More people should get to know Marillion. Because as they say, To know is to love!

[BigCiapper71]

Finalmente l'attesa e' finita.Ho gia' scaricato le 20 canzoni, in attesa che mi venga consegnato il doppio CD, e che si decidano a scegliere la tappa del live tour a Milano.

Da ascoltare piu' volte sicuramente, ma e' comunque l'ennesimo capolavoro targato H & Co.

REAL TEARS FOR SALE.....Superba..!!

[teraycijones]

Every genre of music you guys touch turns to gold! Never stop! Just... don't rewrite House, haha.

[forrestlyone]

OK so I broke down and loaded "Essence". Immediate standouts for me thus far include:

This Train is My Life

Essence

Wrapped in Time

Trap The Spark

Happiness is the Road

Is it just me or did anyone else simply melt with "Trap the Spark"??...This one had me in tears on 1st listen. For me, "Trap the Spark" is one of the most beautiful, moving and atmospheric Marillion songs ever recorded. "Happiness" is an amazing epic track that reminds me of "This is the 21st Century"

[thesadangels]

thank you! more inspiration, sounds good boys! can't wait to see you live, peace x

[DrChebutykin]

Your HAPPINESS tour opens on my birthday. Break your legs!

And please come to New York City. I've not seen you since Pittsburgh, 1995, or 96. I'd love to experience your viube again.

Peaceout!

[forrestlyone]

And while your at it...come to Washington DC!! "Happiness" is incredible from the clips I have heard thus far!

[DanielMyung]

Who won the Whatever is Wrong With You video contest? Link me please =)

[Marillionmad]

results 1st of december aint it

[Chaderzz]

The greatest band on the planet!

[bauer444]

THE MOST UNDERRATED BAND OF ALL TIMES

[themusician31]

Great video. I would love to meet these guys one day.

[DKTronics70]

Best band ever, period.

This album is sounding amazing, and it looks like Marillion are back to their best.

I still think their best stuff is on Season's End, and Holidays in Eden. But this looks like it could be up there with those 2 amazing albums.

[marillion690]

Every song is breathtaking and every moment of this album is special... i 'm sure everyone should give them the chance to enjoy their music and discover marillion's world

[yourrandomnightmare]

I hope everyone gives them a chance! they don't know what they're missing out on!

[AFRAIDOFSUNLIGHT1]

Hey guys, youve done it again!! Excellent from start to finish. A sonic masterpiece. Words fail me how good this album is!! Roll on 20th October.... Awesome.... Pheww!!

[nupe2007]

HisR = ENDGEIL

Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, Geil, mir geht einer ab..

[yorkiemarillion]

This is sounding great - and a brave move to make it available for free download through P2P sites - hopefully you will get loads of new fans beating down your door for concert tickets and buying copies of those other 14 amazing studio albums you have made in the past!!

[forrestlyone]

I get chills everytime I hear the clips...I've also come really close to downloading some of the tracks through MG but I can't bring myself to it. I'll wait until the magic box arrives.

[Rifle246]

Really looking forward to this after Somewhere Else-which wasen't their best effort (might have been 'cos Marbles was awesome!) saying that 50% of the album was excellent- HITR Sounds good so far to me. Glad their not huge as the gigs are out of this world,friendly,sincere and the band always paly out of thier skins. Looking forward to weekend next year.

[SpinJeRot]

HisR is a WHOOOOOOOT Album... RIDE ON!

[graphicgolem]

Happiness is the Road - has so many great tracks on it (both albums) - Marillion have really excelled on this one. I think it is their best yet. If youre looking for inspiring music that rewards the more you listen to it and dont care much for others pigeon-holing your musical taste - then you will not be dissapointed! It deserves to do well and get heard by a wider audience. This is Marillion at their best and simply great music.

[Hprog]

Can't wait to hear it!

[VeiledSmile]

Real tears for sale!! Need I say more??

[Animatronica]

Been a fan of Marillion since I heard Clutching At Straws coming through from my brother's room. I was 6 at the time (I'm almost 21 now), he was doing his university thesis. I remember sitting on the floor, ear pressed to his room's door, spending hours at times, while he worked and listened to Marillion.

You are the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD guys. Nothing comes CLOSE to you. I listen to loads of music, buy cartloads of albums, but you're the only band I come back to, again and again. Genius!

[jakefish999]

Just listened to the new album, OUTSTANDING piece of work, you cant see me but i am giving y'all a standing ovation

[seperatedout]

Well boys I am impressed, sounds like a gem of an album.... cant wait to get it!! Any chance we can have it sooner coz im on my hols at the beggining of october :(

[marillionfreak]

This just makes me want to hear the new album even more. Why aren't they HUGE? Beats me, but it's just great to be part of something special.

[Marillionmad]

I agree why arnt they huge with music like this!

[kb9jcw]

I've been wondering the same since I was first exposed to this band(via a tribute band for Genesis that did 3 Marillion tracks)and prompted me to investigate M further. Absolute musical genius!! wish they would come close to Knoxville,TN some day.

[f3rn4ndrum5]

steve rothery is fat... wtf

[forrestlyone]

who cares?..he is the best guitarist in the world.

[f3rn4ndrum5]

I used to think the same thing when I was 12... nowdays I know no one is best at nothing...

Been a Marillion fan since I have memory...

[forrestlyone]

No room here for hateful comments..so I'll just reply by saying your right..I guess I should have said that he was my favorite guitarist. Regardless, I'm glad your a fan too! "Happiness" is going to be brilliant!!

[f3rn4ndrum5]

What I meant was that the more music I listen, the more I think that there are no bests at anything, just people that are at the right place at the right time.... Marillion is such a case for me... I first listened to it in 1982... I have a Vynil copy of the Market Square Heroes super single (in mint condition) that a cousin got for me that same year... She bought it because she said I had a jester like quality... little did she know that it would influence my life in such way.

Best regards

[Marillionmad]

It should make em well huge it better! i hate being on of the very few young ppl who like em

[paolin31]

steve I love you!!

[paulmcelroy1969]

GRENDEL!!!

[paulmcelroy1969]

Groedels Robz

[berkybean]

Epic!

[jkl2000]

Man, this has me even more excited for the album to come out!

[gazpachofever]

The intro of Real Tears is amazing. Shame they keep talking through it :-)

[marlene2355]

i`m so proud to be an "marillion-fanatic"

[forrestlyone]

Me too! I can't imagine life without Marillion. Each album is so special and "Happiness" looks like another classic..atmopheric, dreamlike, beautiful, and totally unique. Thank you Marillion!!!

[marlene2355]

I´m so proud to be an "marillion- fanatik"

[krzychsk]

Zapowiada się nieźle :)

[yourrandomnightmare]

I pre-ordered it about a month ago....I seriously can't wait for this album, it's gonna be a classic! I reckon it'll be their best yet

[blinkyfc]

Really enjoying the art!

[marilfan]

Oh yes!!!

Marillion sounding so so good! I can't wait for the new album

[MatthiasJay]

Wow! What a great EPK & it sounds like "Happiness is the Road" is going to be a stunning album. I'm glad that I pre-ordered the special edition as the artwork looks fantastic.

[forrestlyone]

AH the light at the end of the wait tunnel! This album is going to be incredible!

[QSilva]

[marcuse68]

marillion are the dealers for my addiction.

[billthaxton]

Hah...Pete is starting to look like Anthony Newley and Steven looks like Laughton!

[jakefish999]

Talk about teasing us, I am enjoying the release of this album, more than any other album ever. The journey you are taking us on is phenomenal. You are setting a new bar !!!!

[foxtrotnow]

Great video guys! Can't wait to hear all of it!! Like my brother says..."their's Marillion and then their's everyone else"...

[marcuse68]

your brother's got a point there! that sais it all! cheers

[kantalarski]

Marillion is like good wine. It just gets better and better.

[Jestas77]

I look at this video and I find happiness. I preordered the album the moment I read the newsletter about it, the very first day available, halloween 2007. After almost a year, hopefully in a few weeks or even less, I can finally have my reward...

[frontalier]

when an EPK is better than other one`s albums ... cant wait for the full master piece.

[BaldySlaphead]

Great stuff - can't wait for the real thing!

[vardebo]

This is really promosing! Will this one better Marbles? I didn't dare to think there would come another one at that level. Before now.

[miguell8angell]

great rock and informative!!

[LanfearTaim]

Great sounding album clips, superbly put together EPK and great interviews. I've never been so excited about an album in my life.

[TimmyGrunt]

Really can't express my happiness!

You guys are geniuses, stuff everyone else!

;-)

TIM

[kopilit]

Sounds incredible. See you on tour :)

[marineralive]

Wow.. can't wait.. It really seems promising!!!

192 days left for marillion weekend :D

[Maor255]

Love you guys, I want this new album in my ears !

[TeneoVestriHostilis]

Fuckin love ya guys!

And people, please google "9/11 truth".

[Kaaachaa]

yes yes yes :))))))) can't wait

[AragornIsStrider]

Looking forward to this. I just wish I could see them live again, though...one of the drawbacks of being in America...

[lolo122]

the epk is fantastic, the music sounds great, the artwork seems fantastic and the band seems very proud...happiness is the road should be a killer album !

can't wait

[Jasmin275]

i already love every piece of music on there. Everything sounds great, some of it sounds awesome. When do we get the preorders again?

[Ramis84]

o_o This is going to be the best marillion album ever

[dazzthedude]

Brilliant, will be there on tour and looking forward to my lovely CD arriving in the post

Dazz

[BEAST636]

I pre-ordered months ago as i did with Marbles!

Can't wait for this CD. Sounds like it's gonna be a good one!! I'll be at JB's in November. :-) See you there!!!

[DoveRoogert]

Well I for one, have had my appetite whetted - and the taste is good!

[LANUDOSIS]

OH MY GOD

[wolverineCM1]

The album sounds fantastic! Can't wait for it to drop on my mat with an almighty thud, although from what Mark has said, I'll need to collect it from the Post Office ;o)

This is a band still on top of it's game after all this time. They deserve a listen, so if you're on the fence, give em a go :O)

[Banks1127]

Happiness is a new Marillion release! The EPK is fantastic, and I can hardly wait for my pre-ordered CDs to show up in the mailbox. Us Marillion fans are a lucky bunch of people. The rest of the world doesn't know what they're missing...but hopefully "Happiness is the Road" will change that.

[magicmanyt]

We're very lucky! :) Hopefully this one will attract some more attention for this excellent band.

[Geeespot]

Can't wait for Oct 20th!!Day after my Birthday

thanks Guys goosebumbs already

G

[WinterZday]

Can't wait. Thanks for posting!

[magicmanyt]

This is BRILLIANT. Going to be a phenomenal release!  Sounds great! Antonio's art looks really engaging! Thank God for Marillion!

[caledoniaman]

Brilliant

[Anoraqnophobia]

this is going to be emotional for me... can't wait. pre-ordered of course! *crying already*

[TheReasoning]

AMAZING!!!!!!

[MARBLES81]

Awesome, brilliant and the best band in the world. Cannot wait to hear this album and go to the tour!

[mattklf]

I love them but they aren't the best band in the world. Try Radiohead for that one. Still awesome though.

[MARBLES81]

Mattkif - fair enough Radiohead are the best for you but nothing beats Marillion for me and I listen and buy lots of music.

[forrestlyone]

Me too..I listen to so many bands and love many, but nothing comes remotely close to Marillion.

[alanjonesdrummer]

Oh yes!!! Sounds like Marillion at the very top of their game.....I can't wait to play the whole thing next month!!

[petem74]

Looks like another great album. Thanks guys!

Mark, what anti-aging tablets are you taking? I want some.

[NellinhaYtube]

Finally! :) Can hardly wait for the album!
