5.0 out of 5 stars I Luv It!!!!!, June 25, 1999
By A Customer
The only song from Marcy Playground that I've heard so far is Sex And Candy but I am nearly obsessed with that song. I think it's really well done and I luv Marcy's style. The song makes me think of summer in '98 and I had so much fun then.

5.0 out of 5 stars angelic pied piper, March 20, 2006
By lorraine wesche (via Bundaberg, Queensland Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I always thought Sex and Candy was a great song...but knowing no other songs by Marcy Playground, I decided to test the waters...at first I wasn't really interested in the two 'other' songs on this CD...but then one day...boom...

The Angel of the Forever Sleep...omnipotent...a song for the rapture...a song for lost (as in gone to heaven) pets...so soothing, reassuring, gentle...John sings like an angelic pied piper...I would follow him just to hear that soothing gentle voice and hypnotic strum...

Memphis certainly captures a feeling...a rolling gentle ride around Memphis...I picture Woody Guthrie on a train...playing/singing country/blues...

Overall 3 great songs...very similar yet evoking very different emotions...strange but lovely...

Thanks John and co...
