Kayleigh ist eine Rockballade der britischen Rockband Marillion aus dem Jahr 1985. Der Song erreichte Platz zwei der britischen Charts.
Hintergrund
Das Stück wurde in den Hansa-Tonstudios in Berlin von März bis Mai 1985 aufgenommen. Der Sänger Fish sagte über Kayleigh, es sei eine Art gewesen, Entschuldigung zu sagen:
‘Kayleigh’ was a way of saying sorry. I had a lot of relationships that basically I’d wrecked because I was obsessed with the career and where I wanted to go. I was very, very selfish and I just wanted to be the famous singer but I was starting to become aware of the sacrifices that I was making, and I think that Kay was one of those sacrifices.
– Fish[1]
Der Song handele nicht nur von einer Person, sondern von drei oder vier verschiedenen Menschen:
‘Kayleigh’ was not just about one person; it was about three or four different people. The ‘stilettos in the snow’ was something that happened in Galashiels, when I can remember we were both really drunk and, you know, dancing under a street light, and ‘dawn escapes from moonwashed college halls’ was part of the Cambridge thing.
– Fish[1]
Anschließend sei ein großer Druck entstanden, da die Leute Kayleigh, Part II gewollt hätten.[1]
Das Video wurde ebenfalls in West-Berlin produziert und zeigt u. a. das Schloss Charlottenburg, die Spree mit der historischen Kaianlage am Kreuzberger Groebenufer sowie die Berliner Mauer und den Sektorenübergang Heinrich-Heine-Straße. Im Video spielt Tamara Nowy mit, die zur damaligen Zeit in einem Berliner Nachtclub arbeitete. 1987 heiratete Fish Tamara, die Ehe wurde 2001 geschieden. Ihre gemeinsame Tochter ist Tara Rowena.
