    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!

    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. ♥️

    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 !

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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
