@@zemariabellodias That he's soon going to be 30 years old and he's feeling embarrassed or depressed about still living his life in a drunken hedonistic way at that age.
J'écoute Marillion depuis 1983 Steve Hogart est un trés trés bon chanteur , mais pour moi Fish a donner une dimension musicale que je n'est jamais retrouvé depuis......nostalgie
One of my favourite Marillion albums 'Clutching at Straws', so many good tracks, it's a musical story book from start to finish, something lacking these days in modern music.
if you carry on with this lifestyle you won`t reach 30, i burned the candle at both ends when i was a lad hoping that this would come true, i`m 48 now and have no contingency plan,,,,, thanks Fish for leading me down the garden path :-(
this was the first marillion album i listened to and loved it straight away...just had to get all the others, only really liked the fish ones tho... cheers bro RIP, for givin me some taste xx
On a serious note. I've had a cough now for 3 months that won't leave me. Had an chest X-ray last week. Waiting for the results. Hiding 43 and feeling the flame dimmer a little more I guess. Oh well, I will burn a little brighter this Friday evening.
Still playing this great song many times after falling in love with it 20 years ago..... What an amazing atmosphere! Curious about Fish' healt these day...if he still likes to swim in firewater. Doing things like that to much myself. If I maintain this lifestile I won't reach next Christmas. A nice song at my funeral *_*
The song that brought me to "On the Road". An incredibly good album, it's right behind "Selling England ..." in my book. And tonight it fits the mood again.
Many thanks for posting this song. one of my favourites from Marillion/Fish. It brings me back years ago when an English Marillion's lover tried to persuade a very young French lady that Marillion was one of the best bands in the world... Even though I don't know of Marillions's complete work, I still believe he was quite true ... though he was a complete freak !
[Verse 1] Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks To burn a little brighter now Something about Roman candles fizzing out Shine a little light on me now Found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation Alcohol can thrill me now It's getting late in the game to show any pride or shame I just burn a little brighter now [Refrain] Burn a little brighter now, yeah [Verse 2] Doctor says my liver looks like leaving with my lover Need another 'time out' now Like any sort of hero turning down to zero Still standing out in any crowd Pulling seventeen with experience and dreams Sweating out a happy hour When you're hiding 29 you know it ain't a crime To burn a little brighter now [Refrain] Burn a little brighter now Burn a little brighter now Burn a little brighter now [Bridge] Dr. Finlay: "And my advice is if you maintain this lifestyle, you won't reach 30" Torch: "Christ. It's sort of a romantic way to go really, it's part of the heritage. It's your round i'n'it? [Refrain] We burn a little brighter now, yeah [Verse 3] Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks To burn a little brighter now It was something about Roman candles fizzing out Shine a little light on me now Found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation Alcohol thrill me now Getting late in the game to show any pride or shame Burn a little brighter now [Refrain] We burn a little brighter now, yeah Burn a little brighter now We burn a little brighter now
David Osbourne Could always replace that with "you only die once". Difficult to live life to the full with only 1 lung and an oxygen canister in tow...
top band top song had all the marrillion lp from years ago aswell as some limited edition copies of these and the smith loyd cole so many more. then i moved to london left them in a box and told mum dont touch! couple of years later i asked mum where are my collectors lp "oh them she replied i took them the car boot" MUMs!! gets better, that slap in the face that is mum then tells me that it was her best day at the car boot my collection netting her £700+ for my records this was about 5yrs ago
I liked Brave immensely, that foghorn at the beginning made my hair stand up on end... The first version I ever heard was live, and even more exciting! (Made again)?
I love this song but it has all new meaning since my oldest friend finally drank herself to death at age 45. We started drinking together. I stopped drinking, she didn't.
Hello mate, LBjim, going through the separation thing with the wife at the moment, I reckon it's the same thing. Don't really mind, though. I'll take my Marillion any day.
