Thanks for the info on Fish. Those record labels are so stingy sometimes. Does Marillion still play anything off Misplaced Childhood in concert? I seem to remember checking out Fish’s website a couple of years ago. I think he had played some smaller venues and had some videos of his performances. We are hoping to catch some live music this summer.
Stay groovy,

Thanks for sharing this, Jung. Those two had such an endearing relationship. I like how Paul described their childhood living out of each other’s pockets. The reporter actually asked Paul why? He didn’t want to stay home that night?
It’s something how song writers that grow up together go on to create such masterpieces as When We’re Together, Orange and Why?
I love the ending. “Did he leave his number?” Imagine that?

That’s great, Tim. These old pre-MTV clips are great. So going forward, we have a new chicken and egg argument. Who was the school boy first George or Angus?
We survived another Monday,

Hi Sara,
That looks like it was fun. I only know Marillion from their album “Misplaced Childhood”. Love every song on that album. I think Fish has a really kool voice. I have a CD of cover songs by Fish. Here is his cover of Pink Floyd’s “Fearless”.

This is beautiful, Jax. I love the line about the kaleidoscope. You have captured a true MLT groove here.
Bravo!

Hi Phil. Welcome.
There are a gazillion rabbit holes here, so dive in. Jung is right about the Duo Sessions. I am sure you will find something you haven’t seen or heard before. They are all very special.
I always like to recommend checking out the Out & About section. Lisa and Mona have had some interesting adventures which they have documented for us with stellar soundtracks. My favorite is the sky diving video.
Be sure and submit some questions in the Q&A section.
Stay groovy,

You are all correct. It looks like we all have some similar interpretations. This one hooked me in upon first listen. The volume on my car goes up to eleven automatically when this song begins, just like Club 27 and Once Upon A Time.
MLT has a way of writing very symbolic lyrics and lyrics that can be interpreted one way or another with each individual interpretation being correct.
Each time I read a different interpretation from someone, I tend to agree with them and hear the song in a whole new light. Thanks for that.
This reminds me of the Q&A when someone found the deeper meaning to Waiting for the Waiter and Lisa proclaimed,”Finally someone gets it!” That has to be a song writer’s best reward.

Sometimes magic happens when worlds collide. God bless you, Jung. I can only imagine the emotions you go through listening to this beautifully haunting song. I find it very therapeutic when I can relate a song to personal experiences. It sounds like your happy memories shine the brightest.
Stay groovy,

I was thinking about the re-playability of MLT. Most of the time when listening to CD’s I would usually switch to something else when the CD ended. With MLT though, I find myself doing a replay instead. Especially with the new releases. “Hey that was pretty kool! Play it again.” Perhaps their appeal is all of those little details.This video is a fine example. When I first saw it I did not understand the pale faces. But after it was explained I was impressed that MLT found such a gentle way to symbolize that condition.
My grandmother had dementia at the end, but we think it was related more to a lifetime of drinking. One of my last memories of her was when my cousin and I visited her. We had a nice chat with her as she felt like telling us how she met “our” father. We both silently realized she thought we were her sons, our fathers. We didn’t call attention to it and continued to listen as she told us how she met our grandfather. She could recall very detailed conversations and her eyes lit up as she told us about “our” father, and how he thought he was worthy of a date with her. As we were leaving my cousin looked at me and asked if I realized she thought she was talking to our fathers, her sons. I winked at him and we both smiled knowing how much she enjoyed telling her sons about how she met their father. That was about thirty years ago. It’s something how nice memories stick, or should I say,”It’s funny how life works out that way.”

Hi Chris,
So close, enjoy your trip to Terrytown. We saw Duncan Shiek and Suzanne Vega there a few years back. Nice area.

Hi Tommy,
I hope all is well in Poughkeepsie. This sign is on 9W heading North. We saw it yesterday. Marlo asked me to pick up a couple of things on my way home from work tonight, so that allowed me time to stop and get a pic.
All we are saying is give pre-nups a try?

Made me think of this. If you like dsotm this is a must have. Wait till you hear great gig.

Awe, come on Uncle David. You can’t just hint about a secret and leave us hanging. Do you know something about those varmints? Are you sworn to secrecy or something? Or, are you just egging us down a rabbit hole?
Staying here won’t save my neck 🤓

Nor those that change more than once a day. 😱

That’s funny. I heard those Austrians get pretty rowdy as the night goes on.
