On this special edition of #thedailydoug, I'm listening to one of my all time favorite songs...it's Voyager from Big Big Train. I'm deciding to share a song that I know and love well today because it's my birthday, and I wanted to turn things around a bit with one that I know and y'all might not! Big Big Train is a musician's band with songs full of melody and color that tell stories and tap into the human condition. I hope you enjoy!

Happy Birthday Doug! BIG BIG TRAIN a GREAT BAND!
Big Big Train's music is certainly one of the most subtle ever in the world of rock. Greg Spawton is a true master of songwriting.
Happy Birthday, Doug !
Thank you for doing this song! I’d never heard of this before and I’m kinda blown away. It’s brilliant, and now I have a new band to explore. It kind of reminds me of Steven Wilson. Not sure if you’ve ever done anything from him before, but I’m 100% sure you’d love his music. Now to dive into more Big Big Train. ♥️
Happy birthday!
It's a pity David Longdon left us so soon. What a talented musician. If I am not wrong, this song was re-recorded last year using Longdon's voice, recorded before his death. Great piece of music. Check Big Big Train's new release, it's another gem.
David Longdon was a great singer. He also did a Steve Hackett song "Spectral Morning".
I missed that CD. Just corrected that on Amazon. I love this band.
Happy, Happy Birthday Dr. Doug!! 🎉🎶 My first time hearing Big Big Train, so thank you so much for introducing me to their fantastic music. Your passion and appreciation for this song are infectious! May you enjoy your special day. I’ll be sure to take a fat B-rip in your honor.😎💨
happy birthday Doug. if it wasn't for you I wouldn't know Big Big Train from a Big Big hole in the ground. I like their live stuff I saw online Thanks and many more birthdays for you
Finding this band the last year or so has been one of the most rewarding musical discoveries I’ve ever had in my 47 years (same age as you :) Voyager is one of their best first sure . Thanks so much for this Doug.
A very Happy Birthday Doug! Thanx very much for all you do!
Thanx for this great reaction and analysis of Voyager by Big Big Train. I now have two Big Big Train albums, The Underfall Yard and Welcome To The Planet which are both fabulous!
I know you're having a great birthday, since you are listening to your (and mine) favorite band. I saw them both nights in NJ and they also exceeded my expectations. Can't wait to see them again, hopefully this year, even if I have to go to Europe.
Wait, today is your birthday? It's mine, too! I turn 65 today! I'm getting my first tattoo this afternoon to memorialize ELP on my body forever and ever. Happy Birthday, Doug!
Carl Palmer would be delighted to hear about the tattoo.
It's my birthday too! Happy Birthday !
@@Heatherofscots and to you, too, Heather!
I'm 32 today :) happy birthday to us! Thanks for the great channel Doug, happy birthday!
@@kreb12 happy birthday!
Happy Birthday good Sir! Another successful trip around the sun complete....hope you had an awesome day.
You really ought to check out their guitarist Rikard Sjöblom's old band, Beardfish some time if you already haven't. "And The Stone Said, If I Could Speak..." is a prog masterpiece!
Happy Birthday, Doug. Thank you for sharing this wonderful track from Big Big Train. I've become a fan in part because of your introduction. What marvelous music. This was grand.
Happy Birthday Doug! And what better way to celebrate than to listen to BBT! Glad to hear them back on you show!
Happy Birthday Doug! Couldn’t be a better choice on your special day!
Happy Birthday! It's also my brother birthday and it was mine 3 days ago. I saw Big Big Train on Cruise to the Edge a few weeks ago, great band!
Happy Birthday Doug😊👍🙂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUG! Love your channel!
Happy Birthday Doug!! Hope you have a GREAT ONE!
Happy Birthday, Doug!
Happy Birthday Doug! Seems like you're the one giving the gift! A very apt track for a birthday celebration and my first ever listen to Big Big Train - thank you.

Never heard Big Big Train before. Will definitely listen to more from them.

This will become a favourite for sure.😊

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUG FROM SWITZERLAND HAVE A GREAT FAY AND GOD BLESS YA
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUG!! 🎉🎂🎉🎂🎉🎂🎉
Happy birthday!! Have a long life. Greetings from Brazil. You chose a great band and excellent music for the occasion.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch 🎉 ! The music is always a good Choice
Happy Birthday, Doug. Mine is on May 2nd
This is also one of my favorites songs from BBT, but nothing matches the combo Voyager + Homesong (the final track on the original album). That final brass section gets me every time...
HBD, Big D!!
Happy Birthday 🥂🍾
Happy Birthday Doug! 🎂🥳. All the best, stay healthy, and keep up the good work 👍. Love your channel ❤. Greetings from Germany 🙋🏻♂️
Happy Birthday Doug!!!
Happy birthday
Happy Birthday
Congratulations Doug! Greetings from Sweden🇸🇪
Doug, please do a Daily Doug on the band Jellyfish and their song New Mistake. I think you’ll love it!
Its my birthday too. Happy birthday🎉🎉🎉
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday 🎉
I like BBT’s use of a brass band in places. It’s a very English tradition especially in the working class North of the country . Evokes nostalgia particularly well . Check out Roy Harper’s “ when an old Cricketer leaves the crease” for a similar vibe.(Cricket however as a game usually needs a bit of explaining to Americans! ) Great track to pick- happy birthday Doug.
Happy birthday. :-)
Happy birthday Doug, sorry I missed it! Great choice of music, not heard this song it's a beautiful track and I must get this album. David is such a sad loss, Alberto has big shoes to fill. Looking forward to finding out when I get the record!
Happy Birthday Doug!
Happy birthday. 🎂
Longtime fan of your channel so I wish you a belated Happy Birthday Doug and thank you for introducing me to this incredible piece. My new current favorite.
Perhaps you could check out some of the more mellower tracks by Periphery? Spencer is a ridiculously good vocalist and I think you'd enjoy the arrangements too.
You should definitely check out Lune, Satellites or maybe Wax Wings. Would be incredible to get your take on this band.
Greetings from the Swedish west coast
Dear Doug. Happy Birthday. Sorry a little too late but nevertheless.
Great thankyou for your knowledge enthusiasm emotions and videos about Big Big Train. And others of course but this was a real special one. Lots of love. ❤
Happy birthday Doug! The joy on your face while listening to this immense track was almost a spiritual experience! 🙏
Oh, you're just a young buck. Happy Birthday.❤
Happy belated birthday Doug! Hope you were able to enjoy your day.
Happy birthday Doug, hadn’t heard this one before, excellent piece of music and great review as always
Happy belated birthday, Doug! Thank you for all your great work both on CZcams and on Patreon!!
Happy Birthday Doug. BBT is my favourite band too. As you said, they are a musician's band.
Loved the enjoyment of that masterpiece by BIG BIG TRAIN - it is brilliant and that they can still compose at that level is so extraordinary. I enjoyed your enjoyment of this beautiful piece. It is a great happiness to me that you covered this! The mellotron by the way was bought from KING CRIMSON apparently. Happy birthday Doug - long May you drop in the occasional BBT track - they are indeed musician’s musicians! Please cover either MIRAMARE or BENEATH THE MASTS off the current album THE LIKES OF US to give the latest lineup some oxygen
hheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's
a big big traaain, the biggest traaaain,
the big big train, the biggest traaain
the big big train, the biggest trainnn.... 🎵
@Doug_Helvering_Te-le-Gram what do you mean? 😳 do i have to look privately for something?
A very Happy Birthday to you, Aries Dr. Doug!
Thanks! Doug!....I'm Discovering a Great Music With Big Big Train! A Great Satisfaction for My Progressive Passion!!! All The Best!
This is very embarrassing for me, as a prog rock fan! I confess, this is the very first time I have ever listened to this band! I did not even realise (like me) they were English! WHAT have I been missing??? Loved it Doug, and I can see why you do - thank you! I owe you one, big time, for introducing me to this band. Priority now to check out a load more by them. Belated happy birthday buddy - hope you and Megan had a great day - and thanks again!
The late David Longdon actually auditioned for Genesis when Phil Collins left! Longdon’s version of Steve Hackett’s Spectral Mornings is spectacular. Another band you should check out is Karmakanic ….. The bass player is presently playing for …. Steve Hackett 😊
This motivated me to listen next to: Ayreon - "First Man on Earth", Winds - "Fireworks of Genesis", and Spock's Beard "End of the Day"
Happy Birthday Doug!! Great choice to celebrate with!
Happy Belated Birthday Doug & many more.
Happy birthday Doug it's my birthday too today awesome!
As of 2013, the probe was moving with a relative velocity to the Sun of about 61,197 kilometers per hour (38,026 mph). With the velocity the probe is currently maintaining, Voyager 1 is traveling about 523 million km (325 million mi) per year, or about one light-year per 18,000 years.
maxel tov and congrats on another 178 million miles!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful track. I did not know about Big Big Train... I shall continue this quest after the video. Happy belated Birthday Doug!😊
happy birthday mr. Doug! thanks for your videos. marco
Happy Birthday, nothing says celebration like some good tunes
Happy birthday, Doug! Hope it's a good one! 🎊🥳🎂
Happy Birthday Doug! Much Love from Buenos Aires!
Happy Birtheday Doug from France
Happy Birthday Doug! 🎂🍨
Happy Birthday Doug! From another April 10 (1955) Doug...
Happy Birthday and Thank you for the video. I have to ask, what brand is your hat. It looks great!
Happy Birthday! I've enjoyed your work for years it seems now... You should check out Bill Hubauer's band We Came from Space, you should love the quirky song, Overlords
Happy birthday, Doug!😊
Happy birthday, Doug!🎉
Happy Birthday and Voyager is one of top 3 BBT songs. Love it.
Happy birthday Doug!!
Many happy returns Doug
I believe that the premise of this piece is that Voyager is not simply sailing away from Earth in a straight line indefinitely, it is on an elliptical orbit, a bit like a comet, and one day in the future it may well sail back to earth. We just don't know when.
Happy Bday Doug!
Happy (belated) Birthday, Doug! Hope all your wishes came true.🥳
As I'm still enjoying the afterglow of my own bday (mine was March 4th, and absolutely fabulous), and seeing that you had a bday, it reminded me to mention another incredibly talented bday boi that I haven't seen you react to in quite a while..our very own SICK BOI, Ren, who celebrated his birthday on March 29th. He is back at it, dropping new music most every Thursday, and as promised his newer work is less focused on rap, instead showing off his vocals with his usual genre-defying style. As bday siblings, it'd be cool to see ya check out "Back on 74/Message in a Bottle" retake and his Fred Again Mashup..the confidence and polish in his voice puts him into a category all his own 😊
'Master of time' is great. Even the original is awesome.
Am I tripping or does that singer have Peter Gabriel tones Wow
Yes, but better in my opinion!
Yes he got down to the last two to be Genesis vocalist a spot taken by someone at that time more experienced with live audiences. Also NDV played with Genesis for awhile! BBT also recorded at Real World Studios so got to hang out with Peter Gabriel
Happy birthday! Love your content.
Many happy returns maestro
Glad you recognize this great band. Voyager was the last song they did that blew me away. Dave Gregory leaving the band ended that era of greatness. Voyager sounds like what Genesis-And then There Were Three would have sounded like if Steve Hackett never left and if they were still as good as previous albums.
Voyager has the 1978 sound but has the 1976 style of Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering. I love the changes and arrangements throughout the song.
Definitely a favorite epic from the band along with Kingmaker.
Thanks for sharing!
Happy birthday, Doug! My son is 13 today! Love your videos 🤘🏻
happy birthday mate! excellent choice
Big Big train a great band . Prog on.
