Marillion - Sympathy

[asderso]

who is singing the original song please ?

[RafaelionTM]

co za popaprańcom sie nie podoba? odświerzyli i ulepszyli świetny kawałek.

[carevalom]

Does anyone know if this vid was filmed in Mexico?

[daisysutton]

My husband works with Steve Gould who wrote this song back in 70s.

[Charlytrippo]

meh, at least this song `ll play on the radio once or twice.

The original hardly gets any airtime.

And there`s not enough love to go 'round.

[asderso]

@Charlytrippo who is singing the "original" ?

[Charlytrippo]

@asderso A Rare Bird, band from the magical `69. ^^

[asderso]

@Charlytrippo Thank You, I was looking for the original song a lot... especially the raspy 2nd singer's voice obsessed me...

[xgalore77zerha268]

lousy song

[midnitedreamer1]

you're right, CutToSleep

[CutToSleep]

There are songs that can be changed fand made better. Sympathy is not such a song. The original song is so perfect it can't be made any better. Anyway, thanks, Marillion, nice try.

[jake56ification]

whats dose it matter. fish Hogarth. who cares what is important is the music

[schoolmax]

Fish is Marillion. Hogarth is a pretender to the throne.

[BroadswordTULL]

@schoolmax what a fuckin' stupid comment.

[leardog1972]

rothers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrUpsidown]

@unlikeanyotherhuman

which btw sounded much better than this version imo because of steve gould's voice which just sounds supernatural

[MrUpsidown]

@unlikeanyotherhuman

A late 60's band called Rare Bird

[TheVelvetBride]

Marillion is a very good band.

But I love Rare Bird. :)

[aC1dxN1gHtM4rEs]

Ah, this is so elegant! I love this very much. It surprises me that I have not heard this before. So beautiful. I found Marillion on here because I was watching Anthony Lucas short films? Ah? Well, however I got here, I am very happy. I feel that I had somehow been shut off from apart of the musical universe that I already had a passion for anyway. Strange. Very. Thank you for posting this video.

[nikaki1000]

just perfect....

[wendys120]

Half the world hates the other half.... maybe he was talking about the Steve vs. Fish debate...kidding

[BorzashWaters]

And Mickey D is what we need my friends

And Mickey D is what we need

And Mickey D is what we need my friends

'Cause there's not enough bus to go 'round

No there's not enough bus to go 'round

Now half the band hates the other half

And half the crew has all the food

And half the band lies down and quietly starves

'Cause there's not enough bus to go 'round

No there's not enough bus to go 'round

[mrvictoria554]

All of the world is heading on a path of distruction. With out sympathy the world's end is near

[mrmarillionelo]

Tank you, fucking miserable bastard "gonlaz".Lot of people like what i have describe exept people with very bad ears.

[MrMarillion73]

Fish - the best!

[Rodriguezsolana]

Incredible song!!! one of the Best Band of prog Rock and let me tell you something, Marillion is not like Genesis without Gabriel, I feel Much more the music, the Art, Genesis Now its just another very pop Band like many others, But marillion now its more Progresive, the voice of Hogart NOW its Much better than Fish, and the band Grow up in best way without Fish.

Beautifull Music, Great Lyrics! Bravo Marillion.

Im totally Agree with you mrmarillionelo!!

This Vid was filmed in my Country MEX

[elisaloba]

maravilloso et doux!!! thanks for sharing

[DrBiou]

Pour mon mec que j'aime plus que tout avec notre fils.

[DrBiou]

Pour mon mec, avec tout mon amour !

[Silmarillion1973]

The band did a great job Marillionizing the tune, great

[sephardimm]

this is simply horrible compared to the original. Synthstrings?! Not really...

[scaniaV8power]

What A Beautiful Song!!

[JAYROX1969]

I think Fish singing this would be awesome!!!!!!!

[bedweld]

@JAYROX1969 ok.....tell the truth - you are just a kid who's just heard about Marillioh huh? If not then ffs get a grip and listen & enjoy what they have become

[JAYROX1969]

@bedweld i first saw Marillion in 1982 at the Marquee in london, after 88 i lost interest in them, so there, whos a kid eh? u muppet.

[bedweld]

@JAYROX1969 - well, if you have lost interest in them then why are you commenting on here - particularly as you are effectively dismissing H by playing up Fish. I was brought up on Marillion with Fish and refused to listen to them since Misplaced Childhood - i am now gutted that i've left it so long as they are simply fantastic.......search for and listen to Neverland if you don't believe me kiddo

[maria98173]

beautiful!!!!!!

[RigoAndCayne]

Superb interpretation of the original...This is Marillion too !!

[Turtenwald33]

Where the hell did you guys film this video... Taco Bell???  You're a long way from England!!!

[kn1ghtstemplar]

Thinking about it I like chips with fish too.

[kn1ghtstemplar]

I have the original by Rare Bird on vinyl but I still like this version. It gives little but loses little. I still prefer Marillion with Fish though.

[ne007ne]

WHILST HE LIVES IN HIS aMERICAN MANSION

[ccokie1lu]

Well I am listening to Marillion for more than 20 years, saw them in concerts and I just want to say this about them: Fish was a great poet, singer and showman and we all were sad when he left the band. Yes Steve is different but he is a great singer and Marillion got some good Albums out with him as well. Now everything, and fore sure in Music, is relative, but I just would like to thank the Band for over 20 years of great music whoever hit the vocals.

[Aideen73]

Well said!

[McKaganNN]

Фигня полная

[Mogansss]

Yup, something is missing :/

[klingonadmiral]

@Mogansss -Yeah-percussion track at the intro-could be mistaken for acapella song till good way into the track-well done though

[TheANNA44]

You are damn right gnagflow3!! You tell them! The song was originally sang by the group RARE BIRD in the '70s. This is one here is a poor imitation which tries to show some "metal" touch... That's my opinion anyway

[gnagflow3]

Im Original von den Rare-Bird Supersong.

Meines Wissens in dieser Version auf dem Soundtrack von Philadelpia mit Tom Hanks

Hier haben wir den seltenen Fall, dass Original und Cocer gleich stark sind.

Danke fürs reinstellen

[rinapianist]

it is my best song

[rynnya1]

THATH'S NOT REAL MARILLION.

[Gilesfly]

Toya did a better version on her Blue Meaning album.

[mrmarillionelo]

marillion´s heart is Steve Rothery and

Mark Kelly. narillion´s voice is Steve Hogarth. Fish was marillion´s voice.

If you like Genesis and more hardrock styled music, you like the fish era. If you like myself grow up with music like

ELO (70´s), Prefab Sprout and Alan parsons project, marillion/Steve Hogarth is the right marillion. I hate when people say fish is marillion becase marillion IS a group, not one person!

[loufador]

couldn't aggre more, thumbs up

[tigalon]

@loufador i agree also but would add a proviso and that is simply that fish and stevie H have contributed equally to my enjoyment of this great band and i hold them both in high regard,what a musical feast they have provided for us all :-)

[loufador]

@tigalon exactly mate! I just hate that marillion fans are split in 2, it's a fucking great band in every and each era, both of singers are VERY talented in their own special way, thumbs up to your post too lad, take care!

[A8ananda]

@mrmarillionelo  and fish symbolizes Jesus, he lloks like

[drebatista]

@mrmarillionelo I love Gabriel's Genesis by far, and i love H's Marillion by far. I think he was the best choice for Marillion, the Fish era was good, but, i guess i wouldn't last that good for so long. Plus H's singing is amazing, soulful and real.

[gonlaz]

@mrmarillionelo

You're making no sense man - ya can't tell thousands of people what they like and what it is to them, you're an idiot

[nisnasnos]

@mrmarillionelo i agree with you but i love the new marillion and the old both the same...both lead singers are awsome in there own right.......

[mrmarillionelo]

@nisnasnos I have no problem if people love both sides :-). And i love the old demos Alice, Close and Lady Fantasy with marillion´s original singer Doug Irvine.

[ewil500]

I don't think that Fish would be proud of such narrow-minded fans, it really is a kind of disgrace to him, a brilliant musician he is.

You can't stay in the same place for 20 years - - there's so many wonderful things happening / new songs created, and you can't live in long gone past so much. WAKE UP and MOVE ON .

[pandaflickan]

Love this song!! Its makes me happy :D

[LoneFloyd]

Fish was fantastic but Hogarth too.

And this song is so beautiful

[Alxscode]

This band does not deserve to be called Marillion any longer. hogarth killed the Jester.Hollow would be more appropriate. Sorry hogarth fans but this is not what Marillion is about.

[mengenstrom]

Dear Marillion. You need a more talented singer than "h" is. Why did you let Fish go? He needs you, and you need him. You owe the world a good singer and lyric writer and that ingenious music you made with fish in the 1987s. Wish you'd never split up.

[Alxscode]

Agreed 100%, I been trying to tell these folks that they no longer deserve to be called Marillion. hogarth killed the jester.

[mengenstrom]

Marillion was ingenious in the 1980s, and now nobody knows what they are and who they are.

[mengenstrom]

I do not say, Marillion-2 cannot generate catchy tunes, but something special is heavily missing, and that was given with FISH on vocal and lyrics.

[T0mNZ]

Fish fucked off, its his fault, and who sells more records?

[JIF882]

Fish was let go cause he had problems with drugs and alcohol

[bajentobbbe]

fish :(

[eheister2006]

who did song originally?

[MigoTuga]

This song is a cover version.

This song originally appeared on the album Rare Bird by the band Rare Bird

[Prosciutto14]

Nice cover! It does justice to the rare Bird original version.

Great solo from Steve Rothery halfway the song.

[SCIURS]

and half the world liiiiiiiiiiiiiiies down and quitly starves, no there's not enough love, to go rouuuuuund. désolé je me lache lol

[sheffa2006]

and this is for sure for tom pieters from belgium...:-)

[greig72]

Cracking little solo from Rothers. Cool vid and great cover.

[AlbertMondback]

Perfect cover.

[Ezerconeza]

Just think of those out in the cold and dark cause there's not enough love to go round, pure magic

[hyppocrite]

it seams to me that no one has heard it, so a beautiful song still half the world has no food.

[yhyhyhyhyqqw]

great classic !

[Marillionmad]

i ve neva seen this video b4!

[nlander79]

[flashbackfoley]
