Fish (Marillion) Tony Banks (Genesis) Shortcut To Somewhere

They should have shown less of Fish & Tony & the sheep and more of the girl! :)

This song is hit & miss for me, Great music & verses.
Stinky Chorus though.

Kudos to the director for your homage to Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid!
It ties nicely with the Quicksilver film staring Kevin Baccon as a bike messenger.
Not to forget all the films mentioned in the song lyrics like Midnight Cowboy to Easy Rider to Lone Ranger.

Tony is the king of keyboards... I love him..

And Fish, I really like his voice, so similar to Peter Gabriel's one..

tony banks is a talented musician that isnt takin seriously in his solo career. as he is only reconisied in genesis, well done tony keep on writting and playing your music will always have a place in my heart

A shortcut to nowhere this turned out to be. Tony Banks' efforts would be better spent elsewhere. I like the song purely for the historical value as part of the Genesis story, (same for the rest of the Quicksilver soundtrack) but all the same, Tony should not be proud of it.

as much as i admire banks and fish. this is crap.

Given the (younger) age of Fish in this video, and the 80s power-rock sound, I would place this video right at the beginning of Fish's solo career - right after he left Marillion in the late 80s. (And the deranged cop says to Harry Calahan [in Magnum Force]: "Am I right?)...

It is actually from 1986, when Fish was still very much in Marillion. Right between Misplaced Childhood and Clutching at Straws. They made this 12 inch single with Fish in a Genesis T-shirt and Tony Banks in a Marillion T-shirt!

great!
