I heard this at the closing credits of the film "Weekend" and it gave me chills and goosebumps. What a song, what a voice !

John had this to say about the track:
Marz was a sweet shop from my childhood. It’s now empty and for sale. But I got to visit beforehand, and the woman who served me as a child was still there. They still made all their own candies and ice cream. In the song, I list all the names of the sundaes, and drinks like Green River.
The song is about the gateway back to childhood and innocence, before things have become complicated. The owner’s name was Marzetti, which was shortened to Marz. The main theme of the song is a melancholic longing to return to one’s favourite childhood memories.

[@MrNHARG]

Wow. So simple. Beautiful.

[@davebowden4010]

Elv Harg not sure simple is the right word but i totally agree with your sentiment. The vocal melodies are actually quite complex..and clever

[@thesoundofnature7016]

Bittersweet strawberry, marshmallow, butterscotch
Polar bear, cashew, dixieland, phosphate, chocolate
Lime, tutti frutti, special raspberry, leave it to me
Three grace, scotch lassie, cherry smash, lemon freeze
I wanna go to Marz
Where green rivers flow
And your sweet sixteen is waiting for you after the show
I wanna go to Marz
You'll meet the Gold Dust Twins tonight
You'll get your heart's desire, I will meet you under the lights
Golden champagne, juicy grapefruit, lucky Monday
High-school football, hot fudge, buffalo, tulip sundae
Almond caramel frappé, pineapple, root beer
Black and white, Big apple, Henry Ford, sweet heart, maple tear
I wanna go to Marz
Where green rivers flow
And your sweet sixteen is waiting for you after the show
I wanna go to Marz
You'll meet the Gold Dust Twins tonight
You'll get your heart's desire, I will meet you under the lights...
