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.

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.
