How do you not love h and his brutal honesty? One of the best lyricists over the last 30 years. So emotional and paints such a vivid picture without being too instructive.
I just love so much that Steve is so open about the inspiration for the lyrics. He is so lucid and clear. He is so warm and infectious. I love his ethos on UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Thank you for this clip.
He mentions in the interview about finding new things on the art work years down the line. Well I still hear new sounds and effects n Marillion Music well done and thank you
Ambient Joe - this is so true. I JUST picked up this amazing sped up keyboard sound in the song You’re gone. I discovered that song when I was 17 or 18 and now I’m almost 29. Marillion’s use of synth stuns me over and over again.
I just love this interview! No matter how many times i watch it, i just hang on to his every word. I once met Steve after a Marillion gig in Liverpool, about twenty years ago. Such a nice guy! Keep rockin', Steve... \m/ (:o)
I've long though of this as one of the greatest love songs ever written. No moons, Junes & balloons, just long lasting love, enjoying the good times, working through the bad times together, knowing your partner will be there for you, always, and you for them.
Neverland definitely one of steve and marillion best songs together loved it from the first note I heard ...AWESOME TRACK LYRICALLY CLASS...ALSO ITS MAD THAT ON HEARING IT ,WHEN HE MENTIONS WENDY ..THE THOUGHT OF THE WENDY FROM PETER PANS ( never land ) INSTANTLY CAME TO MY MIND ..... Also on the album ..the DON ALLUM STORY ..OCEAN CLOUD IS ANOTHER AMAZING LYRIC..AND A TRIBUTE TO THE HUMAN ENDURANCE OF WHAT THIS ONE MAN DID ..
Peter Pan Chapter 1 PETER BREAKS THROUGH All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, "Oh, why can't you remain like this for ever!" This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end. Of course they lived at 14 [their house number on their street], and until Wendy came her mother was the chief one. She was a lovely lady, with a romantic mind and such a sweet mocking mouth. Her romantic mind was like the tiny boxes, one within the other, that come from the puzzling East, however many you discover there is always one more; and her sweet mocking mouth had one kiss on it that Wendy could never get, though there is was, perfectly conspicuous in the right-hand corner. The way Mr. Darling won her was this: the many gentlemen who had been boys when she was a girl discovered simultaneously that they loved her, and they all ran to her house to propose to her except Mr. Darling, who took a cab and nipped in first, and so he got her. He got all of her, except the innermost box and the kiss. He never knew about the box, and in time he gave up trying for the kiss. Wendy thought Napoleon could have got it, but I can picture him trying, and then going off in a passion, slamming the door.
Everyone has the righy for his own opinion. If you call that brain-dead, I don't care. But justice someone just because of reading an opinion? Would you call that's brainactivity? Sorry
Neverland is the most beautiful song ever recorded. I've never heard a song like this, never.
This x100!
But now it came a better one "Care"!

One of the most beautiful lyrics ever written. Like a lot of Marillion songs, under the radar.

Agreed. It blows me away every time, and how they do it live is staggering, love it to bits :)
Just cried to this song today and it reminded me of my lover and nobody else was in my head the entire time. Thank you, Marillion. 🔥
Love Neverland, thanks H

Steve H is without a doubt the quintessential intellectual gentleman. I doubt whether he is capable of unwittingly uttering anything nonsensical.

Found elsewhere on net (take with a grain of salt): "I wrote the first part for Dizzy Spell [his nickname for then-wife, Sue - Ed].
Nous aurions apprécié des sous-titres !
We would appreciate some subtitles ... :/

When You're As Good At What You Do As This Guy You Earn The Right To Test Out All Of Your Ideas..
what does he say at the beginning, he wrote it for Dizzy spell or something? what does he mean? thanks
Dizzy Spell was his nickname for Sue his first wife.
Marbles: The best Marillion album ever recorded. Sorry Derek. (the best album ever recorded in my opinion: Pink Floyd - Wish you were here)
