Customer Reviews angelic pied piper 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. . . . Wish they did more acoustic like this It has too unreleased songs, both acoustic, one which is good and the other which is great. If you need a MP fix and were disappointed with MP3, this single is worth checking out. The song Memphis is a gem that I wish they did more of. Addictive & Soothing Both of which feature acoustic guitar & songs are done in such a way that it builds & is a continuos progression and keeps you interested all the way through, a great musical journey if you like. This single features two non-album tracks The Angel of the Forever Sleep & Memphis. Angel of the Forever Sleep is very comforting & would make a great track to listen to at the end of the night, it will lead to a great sleep. It's very comforting, relaxing, peaceful, calming, restful, and gentle. i. e. Marcy Playground - The Angel of the Forever Sleep (Lyrics) Hello, I have come from heaven Down, All these things My angel wings Hold to them tight Time for you to wake Sleep, sleep, sleepy head Right, to a place of mercy Right, on these things My angel wings Hold to them tight It's time to go, goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight In the Middle of the night Float away Lest the fears you hold Hold fast to the earth Forever to haunt Hello Hello, time to go goodnight Goodnight Memphis is slightly faster paced but not excessively and very much so in line & in tune with the consistency of the single overall. Woz has great vocal ability, quite rare for MP to have a cd single but well worth the purchase, you'll find yourself listening to this one a lot. Excellent. p. s. We all know Sex & Candy is Top-Notch. . You can see a complete list of all Marcy Playground discography, or go back to the Marcy Playground tabs
