Hogarth. The perfect imperfection of his voice is heavenly.
The best band in the whole of the world
There are two words to describe this song: Beautiful and Monumental.
In my opinion, one of the only bands that can stand toe-to-toe with Pink Floyd, both on an emotional and musical level.
kaiserscott I agree
So do I. I think Marillion are more melodic than PF though.
Different emotional tone, though. PF is much darker. the emotional expression of pessimism.. This Marillion song, for example, could have been very dark, the end of a long-term relationship, albeit an end that maybe should have come sooner, but overall, the song acccepts what is now in the past, and, in the end, there is hope for a better future.
Absolutely spot on
Way better than Pink Floyd in my humble opinion.
Anyone else nearly in tears watching this?
yes same
The entirety of AOS is brilliant.
Very much, I went through a horrible divorce 30 years ago nearly now. More poor ex-wife had PTSD from a road traffic accident. As the years went by her behavior got more bizarre and erratic. Eventually she went off with some else leaving my son and I to rebuild. This song got me through. The foot note was she died a few years later of natural causes very suddenly at the age of 31. A tragic and short life. So this song brings about some dark memories but ones where I gained new strength and self reliance.
There's a story in every Marillion song - sheer brilliance.
AA Abbott yep
Oh that voice..would make angels weep. Pure brilliance..
I love the Fish era, but I must say that, for me, H brought Marillion to an other level of emotion !!! We use to say perfection doesn't exist in this world but it is said without earing some Marillion's stuff !!! Love this band for years and years !!!
This band is such an important part of my life.
I also
Who are you
Mine, too . I've been a fan since I was 13 . I'm 49 now
This band deserves more recognition..............
No not too much because one could not get any ticket anymore. Just like Coldplay. Too big and the intimacy of not so big as Stadiums is gone away. So No
h really does put himself out on the ragged edge for us all. That's why we love him. We know the feeling is mutual.
This is just one of their many masterpieces. What a great band ! ! !
god i love this song
1 in 10 marillion songs are sheer brilliance, this is one of them🙏
Still the best band in the whole of the world
In my humble opinion and to my own taste this is probably one of the 3 best Marillion songs of the H era.
Having said that I'm still thinking which are the other two to match 😂
Well,I shall say that Fish is better
Well,I shall say that Fish is better
Absolutley epic Steve Rothery. Marillion at its best.
The bit of piano Mark provides right before the intro is a really nice touch.
I love this tune. It creates such a vivid picture in my mind. Hogarth is incredible!
Le meilleur groupe que je suis depuis mes 15 ans sans jamais être déçu ❤❤
the hairs on the back of my neck are rising and the butterflies in my stomach are taking flight...
same boi
Love H's emotion...His voice is amazing, intense and sensual!
Beautiful song... one of my favourites...marillion rocks!!! wish they were played more on the radio....
beautiful Lead, wonderful bass, fantastic drumming, voice of humanity.
i get the reference
A brilliant performance... again‼
New bucket list must see marillion live
Of all the great Marillion tracks, this one is right up there for me, simply awesome.
Immortal music, it's a sure thing.
just get lost when i listen to this band
Best band in the world
One of my favorites forever!.
I love the little giggle when he couldn't quite manage the last note...brilliant.
That was deliberate
Amazing performance
I agree! I've only been a fn for 4 months or so and I think they are the best contemporary rock band out there. I really don't think anyone compares to Marillion.
This song is really amazing, like many Marillion's Songs....Congratulations for your career, guys ...
Marillion makes me happy
Música linda. Vi na pedreira do Chapadao em Campinas.
Thank you Marillion for this ravishing artistic song..👌
Me encanta el rock progresivo, y definitivamente Marillion es un viaje fuera de sí, impresionante, que banda más grandiosa.
A brilliant piece of music by a brilliant band!
3:55 OH MY GOD!!!! Steve Rothery plays a Squire in this!! Goes to show that good tone is all in the fingers XD
The similarities between Marillion and Pink Floyd...Fish was always singing songs about drunks. Waters about his father and the war. Rothery and Gilmour's guitar playing is sublime. But Hogarth changes all that because he has a much better voice than Gilmour and where Floyd could be pretentious, Marillion just exudes emotion without displaying arrogance and they are as comfortable playing tiny venues as they are playing to large audiences. A truly underappreciated band of incredible talent, with a gift for song writing and subject matter and the willingness to inject raw emotion into their music for nothing more than the pure enjoyment of the listener...themselves included.
I once saw them at the Manchester Academy, a tiny venue, maybe 100 people crammed in a room standing right by the stage. Before the set they mingled with everyone, Rothery jested that he was in fact his twin brother, which no one believed. A humble genuinly nice bunch of guys and they played for us and enjoyed being there, like it was their pleasure that we asked them to play for us.
BRILLIANT! WE CAN BREAK YOUR VOICE BUT YOU BREAK OUR HEARTS EACH TIME WE LISTEN YOUR SONGS, SO, THAT´S THE DEAL. THANKS FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL WEEKEND IN PORTUGAL. '19
i agree
God do they ever do anything that isn't beautiful?
Built-in Bastard Radar, Most Toys, Whatever is Wrong With You
A rare song of beauty
I love the heart wrenching passion in this song.
My uncle made me a mixtape in the late 90s of stuff for me try try out and this has been an earworm since then. We don't talk anymore but in the complete absurd circumstance you stumble across my comment here, thank you Steve for shaping my musical tastes and taking the time to educate me so much when I was younger.
Magnificent!
I'll always be thankful to my best friend Mireya for introducing me to this amazing band....one of my favorites of all time.....Marillion you're awesome!
Pure passion on Marillion's songs. Love!
LOVE-LOVE-LOVE-these songs bring out so much emotion-BRILLIANT
What a great band.
How much better is this than the studio recording?!? Such power!
Superb song. Superb band. Beautiful music.
superb whole album. Clutching at Straws is phenomenal too.
Litened to other prog bands but always come back to Marillion
Superb
My Favorite !!! Hands down if not the best Marillion song it is their 2nd best. Hope they play this on 30 November at their 2011 Christmas show at Het Paard in The Hague
was great song, however, I remember playing this at my wifes sisters funeral and I always feel for her loss etc as my wife still has issues as she shone a bright light
It's powerful!! I'm sure, that Marillion is so underrated band. They are great.
Владимир Ефремов I love Marillion and Russia... From Milano!

Marillion is such as terrific band
Marillion @ their best!! One of the best songs ever!!
I have about forty versions of this, my favorite song.
This blows them all away.
Thank you guys.
Still my favourite álbum. In h era. ❤
Una vez mas , queda demostrado que pueden pasa muchos años desde que se esciba una buena cancion (Afraid of Sunlight apareció en el 1995 ..casi 15 años)..) sin embargo sigue intacta...un TEMAZO!...
Ojala pudieran venir a Chile(solo han venido una vez ...y doy gracias a Dios porque los vi en vivo...es una experiencia que jamas olvidaré)
Absolutely love this band.
This band is such a gift, their music fills my heart, the lyrics of H fill my head.. grateful
What a gem!! I was thrilled when I received the original recording from Amazon: then someone stole my CDs whilst my car was in for service: so, upon getting this IPad I bought the remastered recording from Apple which is a far cry from the original recording. Now I have to find a copy of the original recording…..boohoo. I have no idea how I am going to find a copy of the original recording.
Marrilion, Marrilion... un sonido tan puro y misterioso. Fantastica pieza por mi grupo preferido!!!
Such a masterpiece!
Best Marillion song....
Kevin W It would be between my top 10
One of the best records ever made!!!.
absolutely fantastic!!! :)
just pure class
Marillion Eterno 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
2020 ... y es como si fuera ayer , el tiempo no pasa por las grandes canciones y los grandes maestros de la música como Marillion . Grandes Por Siempre !!!
Marillion is unique in fact...
Steeve Hogarth mantiene su estilo y su cadencia al cantar. Es un grupo magnifico.

Brilliant! I can't wait for Convention 2009 now.
Un fabuleux groupe qui aura marqué toute ma vie
Marillion una de las mejores bandas de rock progresivo por siempre.

I think I want to die to the opening of this song and "drive the road to your surrender"
Heaven STRangelic convention... :-D Guess i was there... what a great Voice Mister H.
💜
Also, H.'s hair is amazing in this video. I want it.
A wonderful great song i love him 😊
Managed to get to the Christmas show in Birmingham on the 13th December - awesome. Been to see them just about every year since 1987 which probably says more about my age than anything else! Never been disappointed; had a great gig this week, been the first one since I lost my mum this summer & found it really quite an emotional one. Loved Neverland & The Invisible Man, would have appreciated more from Brave but I guess there's only so much you can squeeze into 2 hours! Enjoy
AWESOME..PERFORMANCE..../...TUNE.?...
..enough said...
Agreed ?...👍🏻..🇬🇧...
Sing it baby! 🎤
Thank you, gents.
this song just wrecks me...
Oh wow 👌
Excelente Grupo !! marillion For Ever !!
