I'm longing for a reaction video of "Script For A Jester's Tear", the first song I heard from Marillion back in the 80's.

One of the best kept secrets in music. I know lots of people lost interest after Fish - shame on them! Hogarth is utterly brilliant, different and all the better for it. This bands back catalogue is unrivalled and their live shows are like spiritual experiences. Seen them so many times I've lost count but I am always blown away by their talent.

I had the honour of playing in the band that opened for Marillion at a concert in 2007. Gifted musicians. I was especially impressed with Ian Mosley. Even at the soundcheck he was incredible.

I think you would drown in a flood of tears if you did a reaction to Marillion song Estonia from their 2006 Somewhere in London live dvd.

They're one of those rare bands who have a loyal following of fans that will support them down any road they want to go, they have 100% creative freedom as they own their own record company. Though they can tour all over the world and make a very good living they also have the freedom to walk the streets in relative anonymity, this is the sort of band that I would love to be in, all the advantages with none of the crazy stuff.

I had never even heard of them until a year or so ago. I heard the song "Estonia" and after hearing the story behind it (the shipwreck) I'm not sure I've ever heard a more emotional song. The melody is great and the lyrics will really hit home!

One of the greatest live performances ever.

Steve Hogarth is without a doubt one of the most emotive vocalists I've ever heard. He really delves into the human condition and extracts the beauty, heartbreak, tragedy, triumph, joy and humour that resonates within us all and delivers a vocal expression that is just so honest and heartfelt. I particularly love his vocal approach, lyrics, songwriting, melodies and phrasing on the first 5 Marillion studio albums he appeared on as his range was naturally greater due to his youth but unlike most vocalists who tend to be a shadow of their former youthful selves, Hogarth has continued to deliver quality later in his career also. The studio version of 'The Space' is definitely worth visiting as he sings the melody and phrasing differently in sections and sings the coda a full tone higher which is really impressive.

Marillion has changed the musical landscape in the last 40 years.

Marillion has been a staple of my listening habits since the late '80s. Remember, they started with Fish (Derek Dick), who ALSO has a very unique voice. Now, since '89 with Hogarth, the uniquely emotional qualities of Marillion are, to me, even deeper. Fish had deeply emotional lyrics as well as a voice to match, IMO, Hogarth does also...and it fits so well with all the music they've written over their many many years. I was privileged to FINALLY get to see Marillion in Montreal in 2023. One of the greatest musical experiences of my life. Some songs drive me to tears.

So glad you're doing Marillion. Steve Hogarth is a brilliant, emotional vocalist

Hogarth is a massively underrated singer. He should have been a superstar. Such richness, depth, and emotion in his voice. Seasons End is a masterpiece. More please!

This was on Hogarth's first Marillion album. The hopeful lyrics of "we are all the same" is a direct contrast to Fish's (their first singer) depressing end of the previous album where "we're all drowning, clutching at straws." Now I'm really interested in hearing a review of a Fish era song to contrast with Hogarth's voice.

Thankfully, I discovered Marillion about a week ago. I am blown away. I’m a Pink Floyd/Moody Blues /Gary Moore….Loner…lover. The Space absolutely shakes me. I’ve replayed many times. It’s in my head when I lay down for sleep. It’s in my head when I’m showering before work. Ditto, at work. I’ll play it on my phone, in my pocket where laboring…..Im a building contractor…..And the icing on the cake….Elizabeth….The Charasmatic Voice interpretation.

Steve's singing is totally different but equally great. Have a great journey through all the Marillion albums. Michael, Poland.

At last, someone prepared to look and listen to Marillion, live. Steve Hogarths voice is excellent 🤘

H sings with so much passion! Such an underrated band, such an underrated singer.

Great to see Marillion get a hearing. One of the best live bands I have seen with such a great following.

Also love This Strange Engine - some amazing contrasts in that.

Oh, dear; the inevitable battle of the lead singers. I love Fish, but he left 36 years ago. I’m so excited for you to experience Marillion! I’ve been hoping you’d get to them since I first saw your channel. You’ve got sooo much good music ahead of you! You should check out “This Strange Engine,” which is autobiographical lyrically and definitely goes on a journey musically. Also “Ocean Cloud” and “The Invisible Man,” both from the album Marbles Less time consuming but equally compelling are the songs “Fruit of the Wild Rose” “Quartz” and “Dry Land.” I’m gonna stop now, because I could go on for a long time. Just know I envy you the fantastic music awaiting your discovery!

I am so, so delighted that you have discovered Marillion. This magnificent group had been the soundtrack of my life throughout, right from the Fish years to now. Whilst this is an outstanding track, I implore you to listen to the live version of Neverland from the Marbles album. The passion flowing from every note of every instrument is overwhelming. p.s. have a little listen to some of the early Marillion as well. Very different sound with Fish in the lead, but it's raw and invigorating.

Marillion my favorite band, just love Steve Hogarth, a voice so expressive, gets me every time. I am so glad you are doing this.

I grew up with the early albums with Fish, Script for a Jester's Tears and Misplaced Childhood have a special place.

MARILLION? Yoooo one of my favourite bands of all time I love this!

I was at this gig. A culmination of 30+ years of being a fan. This song started the second set for the night and blew me away. The string quartet are known as In Praise of Folly. They played the main keyboard for this song and so Mark Kelly, the keyboard player, had to develop a new part to expand the song. They played for the entire second set. The arrangements were stunning. The live album’s fantastic. After this Marillion released an album called With Friends from the Orchestra which reimagines many of their songs with the quartet and French horn with the band. Amazing stuff.

My favorite band! Marillion has a deep rabbit hole, so you might want to dive in!

And just remember, this is a live version of the original song from the 'Seasons End' album from 1989, his first album with the band. The Royal Albert Hall show was a huge event in the history of the band, as they had never played there before. They hired several orchestral musicians to captivate the crowd and give extra emotion and classical quality. The original song does not have strings or horns/woodwinds, just the main synth motif by Mark Kelly. Steve Hogarth is one of the most amazing, and emotive, vocalists that I have ever had the pleasure to witness. As somebody had commented here, Marillion doesn't produce music just to be heard, but to be experienced. Steve Rothery on guitar is amazing and always has cool effects at his disposal to hit those emotional chords and notes that just hit you right square in the heart. Same as with Hogarth's high tenor and wonderful tambre.

Finally! Marillion are one of the best prog and art rock bands. EL&P, Pink Floyd, Yes on the same level, totally unique. The guitarist and singer are among the greatest rock artists.

Love Marillion. Both lead singers are great. Can't think of a song of theirs I skip when listening. Glad to see they're getting some attention here 🙂

I was fortunate to see Marillion a few times with both Fish and the Steve line ups back in the 80's and 90's. Both versions were epic live but seeing them tour the "Brave" album they knocked it up a few tiers. They played the whole album (it was a concept by the way) and it really was out of this world. I saw them a few times on that tour and just drank the sounds of the album before and after I purchased it. I'll not ask you to make content on that album as it would last a whole season at least. It still seems odd that some call Steve the 'new' Marillion singer when he's been with them for decades. Many thanks for sharing. Top job Elizabeth.

The artistic and emotional output of this band is from another planet. I found a better way of life thanks to their music !

Live performance of Estonia is also amazing. Their best song is Ocean Cloud.

Welcome to Marillion. So much more to listen to. They have two distinct eras (with Fish and with Hogarth) and they're both wonderful. You'll hear the early genesis and Pink Floyd influences but they were their own band, plus I love Steve Rothery and Mark Kelly (probably the most underrated keyboard player ever).

Finally! You'll love 'em. This is a cracking song (and a brilliant version too) but there are many, many brilliant Marillion songs to choose from. Estonia (with friends from the orchestra) is truely beautiful! Oh and Neverland (that song saved my marriage, I kid you not).

So happy you came around to one of my favorite bands! You might wanna check out The Invisible Man next, but there are sooo many to pick from. They've been consistently great since 1989.

Marillion have always been a class act musically. Hogarth had big boots to fill following such a character as original vocalist Fish, but his voice won a lot of the doubters over. Season's End was a brilliant debut, and they have continued to make some amazing albums/songs. try Man of a Thousand Faces, which builds up to one of the most amazing vocal endings you'll ever hear to a song.

Marillion is a band that’s overlooked and under appreciated, which is a shame because they have a long career of consistently great music. (They do have a very dedicated cult following, of which I’ve been a member for 25 years). With so many good songs of theirs to pick from, I’m surprised you picked “The Space,” which is not one of the band’s more well-known ones (it’s more like a really deep cut). However, I’m glad you’re starting your journey with the band. Now you need to do some analysis of songs like “Script for a Jester’s Tear,” “Forgotten Sons,” “Kayleigh,” “Sugar Mice,” and “Easter.”

If you want to hear more excellent Steve Hogarth, I would suggest the studio version of Easter from the same album 'Seasons End'. In this RAH film, he is 61. He was around 33 when he first recorded with Marillion in 1989. You have to hear him when he's younger. Also if you want a deep, dark, yet ultimately beautiful and inspiring masterpiece of an album, listen to Brave from 1994. Beyond brilliant!

I'd love to see you making a video about Marillion's first singer Fish.. he's such a great singer... Lots of songs to pick... And he just ended his solo carreer last year... Please do it

Love Marillion with fish, fishes solo work is also great. The track Garden of Remembrance is utterly stunning

Agreed. I saw Marillion in a mid-sized club just after Steve joined and they were good. But I never got into their post Fish output and lost interest in them.

@@cholomiteI just got bored with Hogarth partly through every album. Fish was a bit Broadway but amazing.

Love Marillion, one of my fav bands from the 80's. What a great voice and an awesome story teller.

The Space will always feels like the first years of adulhood for me. A mix of beauty and scare from the ideas evoked. A wonderful creation... carved into beings who heard it at the proper time.

My favorite band. Thank you so much.

I was at that gig,RAH perfect location for a uniquely special performance. The band were on fire,Steve's voice was exceptional and his stagecraft held the audience in the palm of his hand.The best gig I've ever seen,it was a privilege to witness!

Finally !... ^^ Thank you !! Thank you !! Thank you !! … :) I was hoping that one day you would take a peek at Marillion. Such a terrific band !! As an opera singer, you should also listen to "Seasons End - With friends at St David's". The band is accompanied by this small symphonic orchestra which gives a unique dimension to this beautiful song. The sound production is truly awesome. Every musical instrument can be heard (violins, french horn, transverse flute, etc…). H is a phenomal singer who "lives" every line of his lyrics !! He truly embodies the songs he performs on stage... Oo Seeing him « live » is magical. PS : I am sorry for the mistakes. I am not fluent in English… "-"

Yes! Live Marillion is the best. With their excellent videos you can begin to experience the incredible energy and their concerts. But better still is to experience it in person and feel the vibe in the room. Truly magical.

@@loiclefebvre7958 It's like having a house party where your best friends are the band.

Simply my favorite band for thirty years. Thanks for that excellent analysis! I saw Steve Hogarth singing in a church, he's one of the most charimsatic and kind artist I know.

Let's also give a shout out to Marillions sound Engineer. That guy REALLY knows what he is doing.

had almost forgotten them. saw them opening for simple minds in 1984 (with fantastic singer fish, remember "kayleigh" or "assassing"?).

A perfect A+ for an Elizabeth Reaction, lots of Sound, impressive Voice, could be a deep Space Rabbit Hole 🙂 # letsgettoit

Fantastic that you dived into Marillion. I hope there's enough of a response that you could do more, but there is just so much to choose from the Hogarth years. I hope that you'll look at This Strange Engine live. A love letter to his father and childhood that has an even stronger ending than The Space and much more variation through the stages of the song. Either way thanks again !

You will love both the Fish and H eras

The recurring motifs and melodies, dynamic shifts, multiple sections, melodic writing, etc. Are all hallmarks of prog rock. I know you've done some Yes as well, but you'd really enjoy a lot more of it! Many people seem to think "prog" just means super technical prog metal, but there's a lot more out there to love!

There's also Prog Metal that's not just about technical/complexity too. And this coming from a YES fan and Classic Progressive Rock. But I enjoy the complex from both too (King Crimson, Gentle Giant for example).

@mvunit3 oh of course! I love both as well! I'm just saying on these reaction channels or other online spaces the word "prog" seems to start and end with that kind of stuff since it's gained so much traction over the years. Unfortunately too many people in my personal life as well who I try to expose to some excellent stuff just hear the word prog and assume they're about to hear nothing but noodly time changes, as opposed to some beautiful dynamic piece like The Space.

Finally we get to hear the brilliant Steve Hogarth…such a great voice. I have been extremely lucky to have seen Marillion many times. More please.

Just popped by to see if you’d found Tommy Johansson yet. Well no….but you are so forgiven! I always thought Steves voice has a haunting quality to it. Cuts into your soul and make you feel his love for humanity. Thank you.

The Charismatic voice.....Beyond You is also a very emotional song as is The Great Escape

Great to get your impressions of my favourite band - they have so many gems to explore
