Easter is a song from English neo-prog band Marillion's 1989 album Seasons End, which became a UK Top 40 hit when issued as a single in 1990.
Allmusic describe the song as "heartfelt" with an "imaginative electric-acoustic arrangement".
[1] As with many Marillion songs, the album version features an extended guitar solo by Steve Rothery, which has become a fan-favourite, although it is heavily edited for the single version.
The song was written by singer Steve Hogarth before he joined the band in 1989[2] and was inspired by The Troubles in Northern Ireland.
The title is in reference to Easter 1916 by William Butler Yeats.
