MARILLION – Be Hard On Yourself (2021) HQ

”Be Hard On Yourself” is the first brand new MARILLION song / 3-track EP in almost six years, an advance for their upcoming album ”An Hour Before It’s Dark”. With the track’s stark environmental warning, Steve Hogarth & Co. continue delivering some amazing music.
On first listen this gives me such strong FEAR vibes, obviously thematically but also sonically with Mark Kelly’s keyboard sounds. I love the darkness of the chord progression (it reminded me of the intro to Between You and Me from Anoraknophobia) and I really resonated with the themes.

01. Be Hard on Yourself (I) the Tear in the Big Picture

03. Be Hard on Yourself (III) You Can Learn
