BYAMPOD Ep 75: Fantastic Place and Ocean Cloud
Added 2022-04-05 12:41:00 +0000 UTCWell... we've had quite a couple of weeks. First Sanja got Covid... then we screwed up our chances of going to Poland for the first of this year's Marillion Weekends. Those of you in the Top Tier will know why, as I wrote a big, long, blog post about it last night.
Fortunately, that does at least mean we won't be skipping a week of episodes, and so here we wrap up side one of Marbles with Fantastic Place (belatedly) and Ocean Cloud - another double whammy of Marillion classics!
Because we were unable to get you this ep early, we've also got a special bonus ep due this afternoon. Woot!

I hear you there.

2022-04-07 08:57:44 +0000 UTCOcean Cloud is probably my favourite Marillion song. As someone who hated sport at school and now runs marathons I can associate with the themes of the song. "There's a fighter in my heart and my body's tough, the years have been unkind but kind enough" is a mantra that I often use to get me through the hardest miles of a long race.

2022-04-06 16:04:36 +0000 UTCI run a retreat house 41 miles from Leicester DM Hall in picturesque rural Lincolnshire. If you’re stuck for accommodation for the Marillion weekend you can stay here in a twin room B&B for free. I’ll even offer to run you over and back between my work commitments if you’re having that drink (I do work Sunday mornings!).

2022-04-06 06:07:34 +0000 UTCWith you all the way. Ocean Cloud is their best long song. The lyrics and music are in perfect synch - totally brilliant. And like best long songs, doesn't feel as long as it is.

Although, given the massive queues at airports and number of flight cancellations at the moment, you might've saved yourselves a massive headache. Hopefully, Marillion Weekend Leicester and a visit to the local Polski Sklep will make up for it!
