I think it's the only Marillion song I ever, ever liked. All the rest I'd heard until then sounded like a Genesis tribute band, and not a particularly good one at that, and I don't really like Genesis much anyway.....

I think the real crime is Marillion's video for the song, as well as "Lavender." |
I liked the video for Lavender. The video for Assassing, though... that's a different story.

Fish's songwriting skills are phenomenal, though his group belonged to a niche (neo-prog) genre of rock, such was their appeal Marillion managed to reach a very wide audience, and break through many boundaries. I dare say many music fans became prog rock fans as a result of Marillion's popularity. I attended a concert on their "Misplaced Childhood" tour and saw a very mixed audience indeed, not just traditional rock fans, and in 1986 this was no mean feat. Many people even named their daughters after "Kayleigh" it was such a very popular song, how many other prog rock lyricists managed to do that??

Have you seen the "Kayleigh" page on the Fish website MysticFred?
Crossing the divide between Prog and Pop was a major achievement for Marillion, and lead to a huge ammunt of fans coming into the prog genre that never previously knew it even existed!
Last year at the "return" gigs by Fish the audiences were much more varied than your average prog gig. and there was SO much passion!

WOW! there are dozens of them! I also find the song very poignant, as has anyone who has had a bad break-up, it is based on Fish's own experience.  thanx for the tip!

I listened to Childhood few days ago,and I must admit,that Kayleigh is a bit different from the whole mood of the side A.But as a sinlge it is better than the whole H-era!!!

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Yeah, Kayleigh and Lavender dilly dilly, Lavender do dah, bum bum, la-la. Music to skip to across a pink garden with flowers and cute puppies...
Thankfully Marillion got it together with the powerful masterpiece Clutching at Straws. Ain't no kiddy pop-songs on that one folks!

No wonder it's a bad song: it reached the charts! Which means that the moment people at large start liking stuff like that, it instantly turns it into crap.
Still, it's not as bad as Coldplay.

Don't get me started on ColdPlay.........I would need some considerable time in the ranting room with that one!
Ok there are some good "radio" toons there, ......... not worthy of the ammount of aclolades poured onto them though!
