One of those music videos from the 1980's where the music was so special, cool, great to hear over and over, that you could get away with
showing anything that it wouldn't affect anything, it wouldn't cause any major difference. It's a small video consisting of lead singer Fish
and Marillion performing "Kayleigh", with some small acting bits where Fish interacts with a beautfiul woman, as a kid interacts with a girl
giving the notion that their childhood friends that always loved each other but both parts end up breaking each other hearts.
It's cute and alright, but we're only in it for the song, a true classic from that decade and for Marillion as well (to become a known name), which also popularized the name of many baby girls ever since - I also remember the name because of Amy Smart in "The Butterfly Effect".
It's greatly filmed too, and it contains some visual references from what Fish expresses with the lyrics, as there is a chalk-heart (melting) on a playground wall, and a few others. It's a delicious song to hear despite the break-up theme. Pity that a bit from the guitar solo was cut from it (and many radio stations use this exact video version on brodcasts).
Maybe with a little story presented, even if done in those cheesy 1980's way, it'd be a more memorable video. But I'm totally fine what what I got. 8/10.
