Dear Fish, Or may I say, dear Derek ... What a brilliant song. I know how you feel, my mother had Alzheimer and died in 2017. She loved your song "A Gentleman's excuse me". Not only did you mean a lot to me, I mean, I have been a fan since 1984 since the 'Fugazi' tour @ Pinkpop in Holland. I really hope that this coming album, will not be your last one. Big bear, you've still have so much to give us. Please, do not stop! You are brilliant and I love this song. I can't wait to buy the album. Love you and your songs / lyrics forever. Big man, stay strong. We love YOU, Fish!!!
No other musical artist has moved me to tears like Fish has. A lyrical genius not to mention his emotional voice. A master in his own right. Love to Fish and all who recognize him.
Now the beginning of 2021. England is on lockdown again, and over here in the US it's absolute insanity. Thank God Fish is doing all of this now. It's kind of when we need him most!!!
The people in the carehome my dad was in were just wonderful. Liked holding my hand and found comfort in the attention i gave them. What people they must have been before this terrible illness they were before that illness struck them!🥲
amazing shoot, you just cant tell the gallery isn't real.. everything just came together and the song and imaginary just had a tear rolling. I know its about dementia but to me it spoke on a different level. As a marillion fan from my youth (20s) in the early 80s, im going to be 60 next year, and with the past imagery of the old album covers, it kicked up memories of being young, and how you lose stuff you take for granted, like your energy and enthusiasm for life, as you get into the beginning of your autumn years, wonder what the future holds, and all that stuff. Never thought i could be moved like that in my cynical old age :-)
I cried at the video...I cried at this...the song for me is as much about losing one's memory as much as the end of Fish's recording career which is just as emotional...the gallery is The Garden of Remembrance is of his career which has been so much of my life...lyrics and voice as powerful as they were over 30years ago.
@@Alftupper334 I don't think that's all it is - I'm not gong to give a full list of symptoms in a post to a beautiful song. Way to go to kill the atmosphere.
@@TheAlfsterino it'll hit you when you lose someone to Dementia... hope your atmosphere is now maintained. Comparing Dementia to someone retiring, and that it's just as emotional is you being either ignorant or plain stupid.
The video has such a slow, simple look that doesn't distract from the songs important message ... fits perfectly. This is also an excellent 'Making Of' film ... it's also amazing to see the technical process that they went through and hear about the design, challenges and reasons for the choices. The art gallery looks absolutely incredible.
Impossible not to cry. So much comes to mind. Thanks Fish, once again for such beautiful song and thanks David and Hannah for capturing all this beauty.
A masterpiece. Fish was part of my youth going into adulthood. An essential part. Marillion‘s Clutching at straws is my most favorite album of all time. When I watch Garden of Remembrance I really need a box of tissues next to me. Timeless.
From my own misplaced childhood in the eighties to this song and the future your lyrics have resonated and will continue to give strength to carry on. I cannot thank you enough
No one will ever come close to the song writing talent of fish in and out of the amazing band Marillion, the songs transported me away to a beautiful mind of an amazing story teller .....Misplaced childhood.......a masterpiece...I listened to the great live album The thieving magpie during lock down , the music will certainly live on and the old albums will be found and be loved by future generations , the songs are timeless, thank you so much fish and Marillion for the music and being a huge part of my musical journey , a huge part of my life , music touch’s and heals and connects people in such a profond way and may be more than the song writers intent , thank you fish, god bless everyone,
The starkness of Fish's song and the lyrical brilliance bring such emotional depth to the subject. When this is coupled to this sensitive and such carefully crafted video it takes the experience to a whole other dimension. David and Hannah you deserve to be recognised by your peers in the industry for the ingenuity that was involved, the inspired imagery that was used to create this totally engaging media experience that simply magnifies the intensity of all the emotions the song invokes. Absolute brilliance.
Wow, I watched this moving video only recently and then to see how it was shot and put together is a work of art. Some people are blessed with such talents and skill.👍👍
A truly gut wrenchingly beautiful song and stunning video made under the strangest of circumstances, hopefully this wins some sort of award(s) because it should ! absolutely stellar work by David and Hannah !!!
David and Hannah put the polish on a song of beauty and sadness. The timing, the commencement of Lockdown, and the stark simplicity of the subjects made the lyrics so very meaningful. The Gallery and its devising were masterful & I would never have guessed a model in the back garden was responsible. Added to and elevated a song which speaks to anybody who loves forget-me-nots (I hoped they survived the cooking process). Many thanks & congratulations to everyone involved, excellent work in challenging times. I can't wait to see what you can do when normalcy returns 🙌.
The beautiful lady at the home inspired me to write a poem. We used to dance to this He would take my hand A mischievous grin On his face While his eyes sparkled From the lights, They reminded me of stars Burning a million miles away from home. We used to dance to this, And he would sing along While he led me across the floor Never averting his gaze. Pressing gently on my back The warmth of his hand Made me feel I would never have to be alone. I can still see us now. With the world ahead of us And a lifetime to choose Which colour carpets Would fit each room And yet, somehow Life was the song, A nursery A baby A college dorm A library A nursing home A mortuary But oh, how we danced, To this.
Having recently lost someone suffering dementia (and finally she got covid) this song, video with all the small details (hole in the glass, forgetmenots etc) means a lot. Thanks fish and team. Awesome.
Been having a Fish day! Bit of Fish with Marllion and solo albums. It’s fair to say I’m the biggest Big Country fan, who historically had a big link up with Fish and his solo work. I can honestly say no other artists( albums and live work) who I’ve seen loads live have had the ability to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up whilst listening. Where have all the proper bands and artists gone?!?!?! I don’t care tho because nothing will compare. Fish you are a gifted lyricist and poet....
The video brought me to tears and watching this video did too. A fantastic video its great to see the making of this. David and Hannah should be proud of this, as should you, Fish !
Truly beautiful, & a superb job all round! Thanks for sharing. So many more little "rabbit holes" open up upon watching the making of, like where did that middle picture at the end of the galley go? & why can't I connect the choir boy image??? Why hadn't I noticed the change over to Daisy's face on the Lavender cover or the drummer boy the first 10 ten times I watched? etc. I also noticed some more musical motifs from previous works that I hadn't before.
Cuando ya no me quedaron lágrimas de emocionarme con el vídeo, veo el como se hizo y sigo llorando de emoción. Algo así me pasó con Fish, cuando creíste haberte emocionado con todo, el siempre nos dió mas, y aparece este hermoso video y tu ser explota de emoción. Gracias a todos los que trabajaron con el corazón haciendo posible este hermoso video. I love them.
Incrível sua sensibilidade meu grande amigo Fish! Sua presença em minha vida desde minha infância, 1984, foi um grande apoio para a construção da minha personalidade e percepção da importância da música e dos sentimentos produzidos pelas incríveis letras poéticas e sensíveis, que seu dom ofereceu a mim e ao mundo. Agradeço infinitamente por estar na minha vida. Grata pela linda canção!
Knowing how it was made actually destroys the illusion and the emotions for me, so i will try to forget i saw this. I was naive, i believed he was really in this big white room and i believed they really built a giant wall of glass on a beach. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
Say Hi from Myanmar. can u add subtitles in videos for those non english speaker. I am a big Fan of Fish. I want to understand what talking about in videos.
Hi my old Friend. I‘m with YOU and your partners since your debut. I am ... sorry for my English... at least excited about, what happened in all these years. ... to you and me😉😇 I still think & of course ... - you have professional fotographers - ... you are still beautiful (I am het) and I think That you are one of the Most - fotogen - sorry...I do not find a good English word for it😇- people That I would be proud of, to ever meet. Since I was bout 13 I love you ... and I ever will😇💪🏻. ... and I thought of Meeting you Some day. If that happens .... That would be the best day of/in my life. Greetings from the southern part of Germany ... 30 km north of lake Constance All the best, my dear Kerim from Sigmaringen

Holy crap, when they revealed that was a model gallery, blew me away. What a perfect marriage of talent, Fish, Mark, and David.
Can’t believe how he built that model , just fantastic!! All round unbelievable work 🙌
The people in the carehome my dad was in were just wonderful. Liked holding my hand and found comfort in the attention i gave them. What people they must have been before this terrible illness they were before that illness struck them!🥲
One of the best music videos I have ever seen.
Mr Wilkinson’s illustrations are beautiful, I never felt short changed after I bought a Marillion album in the 80s 😍

End of his career? No...this brilliance is another beginning!!!
I'd read up on Dementia if you think it's just about losing your memory.

Thank you Fish for all you've done for all the world with the making of your music.
Makes an absolutely beautiful song more meaningful and heartfelt.
Fantastic guys.. Tears are flowing here from an old marillion fish fan. Derek you and your music lyrics stay with me forever. Thank you.

so clever how they pulled this together
Astonishing....absolutely ❄
The beautiful lady at the home inspired me to write a poem.
We used to dance to this
He would take my hand
A mischievous grin
On his face
While his eyes sparkled
From the lights,
They reminded me of stars
Burning a million miles away from home.
We used to dance to this,
And he would sing along
While he led me across the floor
Never averting his gaze.
Pressing gently on my back
The warmth of his hand
Made me feel I would never have to be alone.
I can still see us now.
With the world ahead of us
And a lifetime to choose
Which colour carpets
Would fit each room
And yet, somehow
Life was the song,
A nursery
A baby
A college dorm
A library
A nursing home
A mortuary
But oh, how we danced,
To this.
I really enjoyed this, well done to all. Kudos to Fish for recording songs about difficult and very real subjects. This isn't just music its art.
Simply fantastic... Love the song, the video, the making of... 💙
Having recently lost someone suffering dementia (and finally she got covid) this song, video with all the small details (hole in the glass, forgetmenots etc) means a lot. Thanks fish and team. Awesome.
As Roy Harper once said if a song doesn't bring back the first tear you shed when you wrote it ,it's not worth writing.
What a beautiful tune. What a fantastic video. Congratulations.
The final video is beautiful, as is the song.
Fantastic work to bring the song to life on film.
Awesome people. the best. Hope in this dark world. Immense thanks for this brilliant art & dedication to the craft of music n film.
It's so lovely and soothing to see such sweet and talented people on the set
So many memories comes to my mind. Amazing video
Amazing work, that model of the gallery just wow
Mr. FISH is doing a great comeback, swimming against the tides of foolishness and fake politics.
Thank you very much.
Beautiful video, concept, song, behind the scenes. Really well done to all, fantastic work!
From Venezuela and Chile Thank you Fish thank you very much

This was such an insight. Fascinating....

Great idea of developing the music and the developement of the video! A kind of illusion....
My dad died from dementia. How i miss him
Fantastic video , did you show that lovely old lady in the care home the video ?
Fantastic work
They're using the exceptionally great, free/open source, 3D-program Blender at 12:20
why would someone down thumb this ? if you don't like it move on, don't disrespect something creative.
LOL, here comes the middle aged prog police...

My eyes leak. Hasn't ever happened on a making-of video yet...
Same happened to me ,
Say Hi from Myanmar. can u add subtitles in videos for those non english speaker. I am a big Fan of Fish. I want to understand what talking about in videos.
