Love this song...it is the shining gem of Marbles. An epic, introspective, winding journey. A classic Marillion mega-song. No one else can pull something like this off! The song reminds me of living in South Florida for 4 years...when "Marbles" came out..I was so lonely down there and felt like the sailor who's only friend was the ocean clouds. This song and that album got me through that experience!! Long live Marillion!!

Kelly is making the waves... Rothery is awaking the storm... Trewavas is bonding all the parts... Mosley is the thunder... H narrating an epic journey that song is magnificent

Che Roba , Che Roba ..............!!!! Una Voce Magica , per non parlare del resto, 18 minuti nella sua versione integrale in un'altra dimensione.......ecco a cosa porta questa canzone!!!!!! Grazie H Per aver regalato a tutti i vostri FANS quel capolavoro che e' MARBLES.

Fantastic track once again from the guys. Didnt realise it existed especialy when most have the single Marbles c.d but as it only appears on the double disc edition most will miss it. Another classic.

FANTASTISCH ! Ich liebe diese Bilder und dieses Lied ! Harmonie pur !!! :-)

Incredible song. The shining gem of Marbles..altogether epic and simply fantastic. It gets better with each listen, as many Marillion classics do.

Pure Beauté.... de cette voix sublime.... de cette musique et des sons qui l'accompagnent... de ces magnifiques images de la côte ouest du Portugal !!! Merci à tous les membres du groupe Marillion... Merci aussi à l'auteur de ce très beau document.

After seeing Marillion play this song live in Montreal this past weekend I simply cannot describe to you what an experience that was......Ocean Cloud is an epic and complex journey.....representing life itself.

Soothing music with pictures to match... Thank you for sending this video,Karina... Love C.

What a start of a song! Brilliant!

amazing music and very simplle words

in crescendo....oleaje y musica, cuando la ola rompe en el acantilado hay sincronicidad con el solo de la guitarra

I second this....an eclectic and heartfelt offering from the greatest band in the world. Favorites include "Ocean Cloud", "Neverland" "your Gone", Invisible Man' , "Geenie" and "Don't hurt yourself" ... In total, a masterwork.

Beautiful pictures, beautiful music...

The music of Marillion is just magnificent, however, as always!

cuando escucho esta cancion es como que me transporta a otra epoca o dimension un paraiso , y me hace olvidar todo lo malo que existe en el mundo, con solo escuchar ocean cloud , es como un climax que solo com marillion logro cuando los escucho , que maravilla de sonido es como para llorar de emocion de escuachar un sonido tan hermoso y perfecto ,,, gracias marillion por hacer de la musica un sentimiento y pasion y emocion,... steve tothery un maestro un dios

Миша, до сих пор слушаю! Спасибо!

A magnificent piece from "Marbles"...weighing in at just over 17 minutes in length...it is the highlight of the album that, like a fine wine, gets better with age. I would put this song on on a "best of" album anyday.

LINDO!!

praticamente meravigliosa provate a chiudere gli occhi ed immagginate di volare .........

Great song...great pics

superbe vidéo et quelles images merveilleuses...merci

Welche andere Band schafft es schon,mit ihrem 13.Album noch so geniale Musik abzuliefern,daß jetzt schon ein Klassiker ist.Ocean Cloud hat typische Merkmale des alten Marillion-Sounds,und ist trotzdem ganz anders,für eine Band,die schon so lange dabei ist,eine absolute Meisterleistung,wie das ganze Album.Das muß ihr Ex -Sänger erst mal nachmachen.

I've listened to this song many times on the beach. You're pictures bring it alive, I can almost smell the salt myself. A nice interpretation and beautiful pictures.

Great, marillion is just great!!!!!!!

Very cool song.....Amazing soundscape! Always been a Pink Floyd fan, but this song is on a par with the Floyd....

Great pics! One of Marillions best songs, I listen to the full (>17 minutes) version of Ocean Cloud many many times.

pure awesomness...

awesom track ,,and the video coulsn't be more great ... really great band

There's a fighter in his art, his bodies turf, the years have been unblind, unblindly guff...great lyrics!!

@mrmarillionelo Fantastic man . . . Is always good to know that we are alive and there's a lot of great music in the world yet ! Cheers from Brazil !

Fuck, Portugal is a beatiful country, this land breathes history. LOVE this song, and with pictures of my country's coast... God, damn good man. Thanks for the upload, great video! Marillion is great, really beautiful songs.

Marillion is the best progressive-rock band EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Cabo da Roca? Fantastic Place for a fantastic song..

The pictures fits perfectly! Good job!

Thank you for the beautiful video. Ocean Cloud is my favorite Marillion song. Truely epic. Nicely done.

My compliments. This is really impressive. Watching the video I feel as I would stand by the sea myself. A fantastic job to a fantastic song.

@thistrangengine rest of the song???? What?????? This is one of the most complete and well-rounded Marillion songs ever! It is a masterpiece.

Excellent! Well done!

GREAT JOB!!!! Very well done!

Outstanding adaptation of images to the song!

Brilliant!

Favourite song off 'Marbles'. Shame it was left off the 1-Disc retail version.

you know? I thoght Marillion without Fish was lost but, you know (?) now 2 fucking brilliant band have emerged now Fish and Marillion are up there with Rush, Porcupine Tree and Black Sabbath. Thanks for posting this. Slainte Mhath/Prost

Beautiful images accompanying a great song. Really nice job, mate.

puta som, ainda mais com essas paisagens maravilhosas de Portugal... parabéns pelo bom gosto musical.... norberto - Brasil

nice...very nicely done. i feel nice all over. it really was nice.

This is really impressive.

Cette musique est magique !

Som e imagem em perfeita harmonia. Show de bola...

@ammaria57 this is one of my fav songs of all time as for the best prog rock band of all times i like porcupine tree with marillion a very close second

@micha256 no worries micha...thanks for posting this! The pictures are absolutely beautiful and suit the music wonderfully!!

Una genial cancion de un grupo tan desconocido como bueno

The most beautiful coast of the world =D COSTA VICENTINA =D Steve Horgath, I will see you in december =D

@thistrangengine Oh I see!!! Sorry about that!!!..I didn't realize it got cut off...I agree with you this masterpiece should be played in its entirety!! :-)

Concur with all comments. Well done!

I agree with the buying part. Although the mixing with the pictures was very nice, I think Marillion does a good enough job =p

progkidjoel asked, "Is this that good of an album, anybody please?" Yes. The whole album is good. A must-have if you're a Marillion fan. Another song from MARBLES, "You're Gone," is in my Faves list if you wanna check it out.

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

Yeah, everyone has their own idea of what's too "commercial" or pop-ish. I have mine, and Marillion's never crossed my line in the sand. Songwriting on this level is not easy, and there's no road map. The lads go where the inspiration takes them, and some songs just end up sounding a bit more pop-ish than others without there necessarily being a conscious, commercial intent behind it. Some hardcore fans hated "No One Can," but I think it's a brilliant love song. To each his own, I guess. :)

cheers, thanx for the info

No prob. If you get MARBLES, be sure to get the 2-disc version ("Ocean Cloud" is only included on the 2-disc version). "You're Gone" takes a few listens to really sink in (at least it did for me). But it's one of those tracks that just gets better with each listen. "Don't Hurt Yourself" is another nice track. The album has a nice mixture of 'proggy' stuff and more mainstream rock material. The lyrical inspiration for "Ocean Cloud" is interesting too (see the H interview also in my Faves).

No prob (again). Quote: "I just ordered copies of 'Afraid Of Sunlight' and 'Marbles,' both 2CD remasters." Good choices. THIS STRANGE ENGINE is also amazing. And of course BRAVE is their masterpiece. The DVD "From Stoke Row to Ipanema" is particularly good as well. Quote: "Thanks a load for the tip, you sound like the H-era Marillion go-to guy :D." Just helpin' out a fellow fan. I like the Fish era as well, although I prefer the more positive, less heavy-handed H era material.

Thankyou whoever you are!

sehr guter sound !

...Pomiędzy dwiema planetami Pomiędzy punktami światła Pomiędzy brzegami Jestem tu...

my thaughts entirely.. i only heard it on you tube then after originaly buying marbles discovered it was only on the 2 disc version... i have it now though !

Depois de Brave e Afraid of Sunlight (duas obras primas) este album (Marbles) superou novamente as minhas expectativas.Anoraknophobia já tinha elevado as minhas expectativas mas este superou tudo. Espero que o novo album seja tão bom ou melhor que este.

hrande banda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! portugaaall

He's seen too much of life And there's no going back The loneliness calls him And the edge which must be sharpened He's losing it. And he knows. But there's a fighter in his mind and his body's tough The years have been unkind but kind enough The smell of the earth It's his favourite smell But he's somehow compelled to the stinging salt hell To the place where he hurts and he's scared And there's no one to tell And no one who doesn't listen "You can take all the boys and the girls in the world And I'll trade them this morning for my sweet Ocean Cloud I've seen too much of life So the sea is my wife and a sweet Ocean Cloud is a mistress I'm allowed for now." "You can take all the boys and the girls in the world I wouldn't trade them this morning for my sweet Ocean Cloud I've seen too much of life So the sea is my wife and a sweet ocean cloud is a mistress I'm allowed for now." "Only me and the sea We will do as we please." He remembers the day he was marched to the front By the physical knuckle head teacher of games "Look lads" he declared, "This boy's a cream puff No guts and no muscles No spine and no stuffing" The whole schoolroom sniggered And silently thanked God it wasn't them.. But time is revenge. All the bullies grow weak And must live with faithless women who despise them I'll be in Barbados in a couple of weeks With a rum on the table and yarns by the yard A story to tell and a story to save ..unless she changes her mind I'll trade them this morning for my sweet Ocean Cloud I've seen to much of life so the sea is my wife And the sweet ocean clouds will look down on my boat tonight The wind changed I felt it run beneath my ear Like silk drawn across my neck A dream of your legs Defying gravity in love The medium wave Brought signals here from far away Your tender voice riding on the sea spray Something in the air For those who know the signs Something in the air A storm.. When I was alive When I was alive Don't wanna remember When I was alive Watch me watch me Paint this picture Stretchin Hurtin Cursin Watch me Takin it Takin it Takin it Takin it.... Watch me. Watch me. God above.. Between two planets In between the points of light Between two distant shorelines Here am I Between two planets In the black daylight of space Between two heavenly bodies The invisible man. Ripping out the radio I want to be alone "You can take all the boys and the girls in the world I wouldn't trade them this morning for my sweet Ocean Cloud I've seen too much of life So the sea is my wife and a sweet Ocean Cloud is a mistress I'm allowed I've seen too much of life So the sea is my wife And the sweet ocean clouds will look down on my bones tonight..

Fuck me, I'm speechless after that.

@micha256 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

Think you missunderstood ueberRegenbogen. There was two Marble c.ds issued. The standard release didnt feature this track amongst others. I had to buy the double disc edition from the Marillion website to obtain this.Looking forward to the new release soon. This i will be buying in the double edition format so as not to miss out on any tracks first time around.

@killzer48 No not really a concept album as such although some of the songs are linked throughout it

@darakuT This track really does not warrant one. There is a brilliant Steve Rothery solo, however. Listen to the song "Season's End" and you will hear a magnificent one. Also listen to the instrumental version of "This is the 21st Century" and you will hear Kelly in all his splendor. "H" era Marillion yields Marks most brilliant moments, as the band has adopted a more sonic nature over the years. "Ocean Cloud" is an epic track that can rightfully be crowned as the shining gem of "Marbles"

Well, TSE is definitely more accessible than BRAVE. I remember the latter took me several listens to really appreciate (because it builds slowly), but once I did, I was blown away. It's definitely the most "prog" album they've done since the early days with Fish. And SEASON'S END is brilliant, of course. Is HiE that bad? Not to me. AFAIC, the only 'weak' tracks on it are "The Party" and maybe the title track. The rest, particularly "Splintering Heart" and "Cover My Eyes," are great.

beautifully done. I enjoyed it very much. As beRsek8 wrote earlier: Thank you, whoever you are!

Extraordinaire. ;) Pas étonnant venant de mon groupe préféré :p

Amazing.....I make a comment about how I like the song, and make a comment about how Ive been a huge Pink Floyd fan, and how this song rates right up there with some of their songs that I like, and some idiot comes along and gives me a thums down.........lol.........

Simple solution there, crossy: buy albums rather than singles-especially when it comes to bands who generally don't disappoint. :D

La song está muy chida. Me late un buen..

Es gibt keine bessere Version von Ocean Cloud !!

Upon reading your bizarre attack, my first thought was "What the hell -- what is this guy's problem?" Then I looked at your channel and saw your "Evolution of dance X" video and got my answer. *rolls eyes* Okay, this is where you throw a tantrum on your keyboard and spew a bunch of inarticulate profanity at me and the rest of us who recognize H's talent. Go for it.

@russkinrussable hell yeah!!

Ok you´re right! But do we want Marillion to exist?

who no like this songs..!!!???

@darakuT You need to get your ears checked. I like the Fish era but this is at a whole other level of song writing. FLAWLESS.

@micha256 Is this like the Brave album,a conceptual album rather than the usual standard marillion?

I love Portugal - it is a greatest land of europe. I love Marillion - but I think, it was much better with FIsh...

oh honey..guess who sent this vid....

from which album is this from?

@jesterioso Your high!

Rothery should be fucking knighted for 4.09-4.33.

Alxscode said: "Bring back the Jester." Not likely to happen. He left ~ 20 years ago. Change is a part of life. Get over it and get on with your life. "H. is a bad voice and and a bad choice." The other members of Marillion, who you liked when Fish fronted it, disagree with you. And I assure you they know far more about who has a good voice than you do. "Sorry H. fans but you dont know the difference at all." Yes we do, and we appreciate the talents of both in their own way.

If you don't like his voice, then don't listen to Marillion. Fish never composed song in Marillion.

Please don´t upload songs. Buy it. This song don´t need pictures.

no such marillion, with fish!!!!

OK dude, you've been posting pretty much the same thing on almost every Marillion video I see, your level of obsession with Steve Hogarth is becoming scary. keep listening to the 4 albums with Fish and think happy thoughts and maybe you can shut out the reality.

Love this song...it is the shining gem of Marbles. An epic, introspective, winding journey. A classic Marillion mega-song.  No one else can pull something like this off! The song reminds me of living in South Florida for 4 years...when "Marbles" came out..I was so lonely down there and felt like the sailor who's only friend was the ocean clouds.
