This is one of the best albums ever recorded. Wozniak is a genius. He hides his genius in simplicity.
Saw them live in 2018 with Everclear and Local H...they were awesome!
this album is incredibly underrated
@@isaacvsbobnco8421 I've seen them for the past two years they came to Portland, OR... took a picture with John as well!
Agreed
Dude all of the songs have practically the same beat and tempo, kinda boring after a while
Rest in Peace, my "Sherry". 1959-2007. You were always loved.
Aww♡ sorry for your loss.
My Sherry was an exotic cat (Geoffroy’s) that had to be hidden from the government. She was actually named Isla. Now we have a bengal cat named AK-47
This entire album was the soundtrack to my opiate addiction days. It’s been around 20 years, give it take a few, and I can finally appreciate it sober.
Congratulations on getting sober! Keep it up.
Congrats on the sobriety! I hope you're doing well.
🎉❤congrats
Same here, been 12 years now.
I thought I was the only one. The two always went hand in hand for me. Glad those days are behind me. Hearing these songs still cues up some very vivid and realistic memories, good, bad and horrible.
Found Marcy Playground as an 18 year old on a gap year in America....now I’m 41 and still love listening to these songs!
When this record came out I was working in a small record store in San Diego. I would pull the classic High Fidelity move and put five copies on the counter and cue up "Cloaking Robe of Elvenkind" or this track, and sell all five copies. Criminally underrated band.
When you love a girl with all your heart and soul you will wait forever for her to come back and play someday... What a wonderful and emotional thing to have a "Sherry Fraser" Please come back...
Very True
I always felt like this should have been their big hit. Such an amazing melody
I agree and as much as I like “Sex and Candy” this song is so damn good.
It may have been had the music video been better. This really misses the mark and doesn’t really fit the feel of the music.
This whole album is a hit...
This was such a great record that most people missed.
I got a vinyl from Wozniaks wife at a concert in Falls Church, VA last year outside DC. Was super stoked
Just recently decided to dig in and I was thoroughly blown away.
I have been coming back to this song for over 20 years and I still get chills from the bridge.
Wow, I've been searching for this song so long.
Heard it on the radio while driving my girlfriend from a day at the beach....
Married 22yrs now to her.
Second time hearing this song since then. wow
I remember being a little kid a sneeking into my brothers room to play his cds and this was always my favorit to listen to.
I did the same!
Where are his cds now?? Looking to purchase
I still have my original CD from my teen years, yay for me.
Deaf Omega Same, but I'm also 17
Same. Im 36
Same. I'm 33
This was the second album I ever owned, 31 now and feel old
Same, and I'm 48 you puppies. 😎
Well it's 2022 and I've just discovered this band they are excellent
Cool.
this whole album is beautifully awesome. tool nex! ^_^
Same here They're great BTW I'm 64 years old. lol
@@butindari Cool, 53, John will b about 52 now.
there’s probably some people who will clown on you that you just found out about them, but not me. welcome to the playground, friend. enjoy!
This whole album is awesome
born in the 50s, and the 90s was the best decade for music..and this in the tops. but the last 20 years has its gems
very underrated song writer
Agreed. This album was and still is a masterpiece to me.
underrated songwriter as Nick Drake (r.i.p)
Yep. Just picked up lunch -recess record. Beautiful man. LEAVING Wonderland AWESOME. .Shapeshifter rocking GREAT. MP3. WoW!. Thanks for all the great songs..many thanks..love it all
Calling everything underrated is overrated
I love the songwriting of this band. so uniquely simple.
I really love Marcy Playground's stuff. I still don't know why they didn't become more popular.
it brings me back in time when I lived in Bologna - North Italy - twenty years ago..... a friend of mine (she came from Sweden) listened to this album and I loved that smooth sound by Marcy Playground
I still don't understand why this, poppies and gone crazy weren't more recognized. This whole damn album is genius though. Such a slept on band, I have loved this band and have held the songs close since I was around 5 years old
one of the best bands ever
Please come back Marcy Playground and play someday!
Joel Line OMG the feels Dx
They're on tour with Everclear...I'm seeing them 6/29/18 in So Cal
I'm seeing them live in Toronto tomorrow night !!!!
I saw them a few weeks ago in Boise with Everclear and Local H. Great show to say the least
the next person i hear call this band a one hit wonder, im going to slap them lol. They may not have been super popular in the media, or on tv, but they are not one hit wonders.
Chris August fuck you
the only song they got famous for is there worst song lol other than that every song i hear from them is pure fuckin gold. marcy playground is awsome
Sex and Candy is an awesome song hahah. It's unique. How is it their worst? i don't think they have one.
Jonathan Burton I would agree it's their worst. It's lyrics are very simple and lack the type of emotion most other songs contain
Never heard a bad song by Marcy Playground
I just heard this band for the first time like 3 months ago. I accidentally hit them on an iPod a friend of my loaded. I haven't been off the 1st album yet. It's an amazing piece of work...in its entirety. To my ears, "Sex and Candy" is the second song in an album of great songs.
Thank you Marcy Playground for creating a song and video that SO accurately depicts the story of the woman I loved.
They put on an amazing show. I saw them in '98 at the State Theatre.
Wishing my old friends who were lost could just come out and play again. We’re all just kids at heart. One of my favorite songs.
this was like my favorite song when i was like 8...i still love it
8? Makes 34y/o me feel so damn old lol
klericktz wait till your 41,,,,,,still love it too,i like pretty much every song they did,and can play everyone of them.
Me too.
This song is just so damn sad.
Sooner or later we all have our own Sherry
For years i thought this was a crappy one hit wonder band. This week by accident i been listening to other tunes. Awesome band.. totally underrated.
Exactly the same and even tho I love Sex and Candy this might actually be my favorite.
Marcy Playground and Cake were the 1st 2 CDs I bought. But this album holds a special place in my heart. Fantastic.
103 "thumbs down"? 103 ding dongs. Marcy Playground is forever wow.
Lisa Edmondson Yes, the context of the phrase "ding dong" in which you used to describe the People that gave this a thumbs down was indeed correct.
so fucked up we can’t even see the dislikes now
no matter how many bands I listen to. The simplicity and innocence of this band keeps me coming back 12 years later.
This and many other Marcy Playground songs are very underated. The band was incredible.
We’ve all had a “Sherry Fraser” in our lives
Marcy Playground is one of my favorite bands, I remember my older brother playing their music whenever I was in Elementary school. Now that I am older, I am so in love. Every album they have made is amazing. Truly awesome artists. What I would have given to have been a teenager, or a young adult in the 90's, if for nothing else but the amazing music.
My Mom's name is in fact Sharie Fraser, lol! crazy!
klericktz HA
+klericktz LMAO
+klericktz true.
Lol
That's pretty rad.
Such an underrated band. They deserve more attention. ❤️
I'm glad that I can look back at my teenage years and say I had this album & loved it.
this song is so beautiful. idk what else to even say. fucking wonderful album.
Oh I saw stars falling all
Around her head
Red gold and blue
Sherry Fraser where are you
'Cause I saw stars falling
All around your head
When we were young
Sherry Fraser where have you gone
We're all wondering
When will you come back
And play some day.
Sherry yeah
The mad hatter he waits for Alice
To come to tea again
He waits forever for his old lover
And always wonderin'
Will I see stars falling all around your head
When you return
Sherry Fraser what have you learned
And we're all wondering
When will you come back
And play some day
And please do come back
And play some day
Please do come back
And play some day
Sherry yeah

Hello , thanks
@@monkeyrevolution1964 NP> I like the words so I can sing along.
When this album first dropped back in '97, Virgin Megastore in Times Square had a kiosk with headphones where you could listen to it for free. Like the immature teenager I was, I _only_ listened to "Sex and Candy" on repeat every day until they changed it out. Twenty-six years later, I'm kicking myself for not giving the rest of the album a chance. The entire thing is beautiful.
Such a great band really underappreciated, style of his voice takes them to an indescribable level
Way back in Portland, Or. Mike Chase had him via a remote broadcast on a morning show from a bowling alley. Just him and his guitar and it still sounded better than the album. Simply amazing.
You look absolutely stunning in this video thank you so much for sharing all your awesome content on UA-cam you're one of the greatest I love you Marcy Playground!!
Timeless track
I love these. Guy's. Hauled ass on my motorcycle to see them after Pig Out In The Park. River Front Park. Home of Expo 74. They rocked. Side view, at clock tower. Drummer looked like Tommy Chong. Exhausted, but never missed a beat. It was awesome 👍
Every song in this album makes me a 16 y.o. again. Everytime.
What a beautiful song! An all-timer!
Absolutely love this song. Haven't heard it in years but love these guys.
When I was younger, maybe about 7 this cd came out. Me and my mom would watch music videos all night when I got home from school if I had nothing to do, my mom was very adamant about not censoring what we listened to and this was one of the first cds I got. This cd store we used to go in once every few days knew how much I loved this cd and gave me all the promotional items they got sent when this album came out. Wish I still had it all 2 shirts a bunch of posters, singles and ads... still miss cd den in north Arlington NJ
I remember when this album came out! Love this band! 90s was awesome!😜😎✌🤘🤘🤘❤❤
One of my favorite songs from them, saw them last night and I must say its become one of my best memories!
this song is pure love
The feelings are so strong and i cant manage them...but this song describes all of them perfectly. FUCK LOVE!
Man my teen years coming back instantly. love this song.
Nostalgia for all
I am still listening to these guys despite it being what? 20 years?
Majestic. What an honor to understand and enjoy this song.
Tammy you will always be missed and thought about. love you old friend
This song along with Sex and Candy were my favorite song since I was 11, 31 now, î can't believe it's been 20 years!
Miss the 90s brings be right back ❤
i love this band so much
🙏🏻such a sweet reminder of years gone by
saw them live in 2018 and it was A++....they played this song and it was RAD!
My first husband made a mix tape for me circa 1998 or 99 - this was on it. He had many flaws but excellent taste in music - I have to thank him for that.
dudes a genius for real
I love all of his songs. It's so relaxed and laid back that you could really enjoy a quiet bath...
this was my favorite album of my dads that i had when i was a kid and it’s still a favorite today…they’re so under appreciated
I loved this whole entire album.
I had never seen this till tonight. Never heard it. Didn't want to. I knew Sherry also. John and she were wonderful friends, like twin spirits who knew it. They fought to protect the innocence of childhood in each other's hearts. Always sharing some great secret behind closed lips, winning smiles, and twinkling eyes. Always nice and kind to others. It was an American Love Story. I am sorry most people missed it. This was the 1980s. I remember sitting on her family's couch while John played drums one day in their family room. She had a nice older brother also. Real big guy. She was special. A rare creature. I could tell then she was going to take the path less trodden. I worried about her. She actually let me listen to her music once that she was working on. Sherry and John did not do this thing. They shared with each other and no one else. I was honored. For years after when I would get news of John, I would ask if there was news of Sherry. Invariably the friend would bow their head and shake it a little and say, "No." When it began to become clear she was not coming back, I prayed for her and then tried to put it out of my mind. We had had quite a few deaths of classmates, suicides, cancer, train accidents, and what have you growing up. That had all been in our teens. I didn't want to lose another. How are you John. Long time. John, how about a little Dear Mr Fantasy. A little Low Sparks, A little Jimi. You were to be the next Steve WInwood. Nipper says it is not too late. We could release it only on vinyl. What do you say. For old time sake John. It will hit serious cult classic status - minimum. I know you still have it in you. Are you interested in cutting one more album. I hope the years brought treasure beyond earthly.
Much Love John, Tom Joyce
PS - John, you could not find a model as beautiful as Sherry could you.
I truly don’t know how to start this off. First emotion is being drawn into this beautiful melody, which truly had me questioning why I hadn’t heard this before. However after understanding a little more details through chariotreign’s intriguing flashback of nothing less than a spectator monument/memory, now my question is why didn’t I find my way there! Honestly just finished listening to this for the third time, so Obviously my next move is to understand more about this awesome sounding soul named Sherry Fraser. Chariotreign, the glimpse into this memory, was truly appreciated, one should only ponder on the stories there fellow strangers can tell. I’m sure one day we’ll all meet again! God Bless
I had heard this song 22 years ago just once and remembered it forever. I always wondered who it was by and if he ever found that girl. Today it just dawned on me “ DUH !!! Just google the lyrics dummy !! “ . I didn’t know it was Marcy playground . Came to this comment section. We’re you in the band ? Are you saying Sheri Fraser died ??? Oh my God , my day just went dark .
@@itsjustagame5631 Hello, I took a different path before Marcy was formed. John, and I used to talk long into the night under the stars on his family's back porch long before that. He would practice many of the songs people would come to know in a studio my family owned. His older brother was very kind and evolved. If anyone knows anything of Sherry, I have not heard. I just know I was with her maybe a month or two before she "disappeared". I think she wanted to "Vanish". I still pray she is alright. She once came over to my home, and we spoke quietly in the sunshine filtering through the trees. For that one hour, our spirits were free of constraint and the asphalt of the driveway turned into a beautiful mosaic of patterns and the trees were humble participants to our souls' yearning. We whispered lest to dispel the magic. She left with near tears in her eyes. I think she knew, despite promises, she would not be able to return. God Bless her Soul. I am glad you liked the song about a friend who was a kind soul. The world can be too cruel. She was real. She was rare. She was special. We still grieve. We do not know. But the fact that she lived... this is much. Be of good glad spirit, as a one time friend, I can say, she would not want you to fret, but to live and spread the Magic of Caring. :)
@@chariotreign I bet you have some pretty intense dreams. I used speak and write like you. But when I was 31 I started chasing the dragon 🐉 doing whip it’s almost daily for about a year. I think I may have even caught it a few times. Now life is just “ordinary”, with only a few moments here and there of synchronicity and magic surreal moments that are almost like my life is accentuated through the perspective of a movie director. I feel dumb. All the thoughts are there like before but they can’t form words when I’m speaking. I guess the one good thing is that I don’t even bother arguing with people. But it does feel like a handicap not being able to offer a profound perspective to people anymore when needed in the heat of the moment . Sigh 🤷🏻♂️ oh well. You live and learn. And I learned . Perhaps if one of my two daughters is ever distracted by the glimmer of hallucinations/hallucinogens I’ll be able to offer my story and stop them .
Seeing stars around someone is exactly the kind of life I used to live . As a child and an adult I use to have natural born kinda extra sensory visuals around people and situations. I always had it/this ability but never was able to explain it to my parents as a child . My first born is 10. She’s so secretive and never reveals what is going on in her heart and mind. But I remember her once telling me a few years ago when she takes pause she sees “ the colored dots everywhere”. So I must have passed the gene onto her. When pressed to elaborate she’ll clam up hold her cards close to her chest not wanting to elaborate 🙄. She has no idea how lucky she is . If I started talking “nonsense” when I was little, my parents would have shut it down and dismissed it quickly. Dad would always seemed bothered when it became apparent I had huge imagination and had my head in the clouds. My 3 old daughter is just like I was at that age . I didn’t talk and I can tell she sees things other people can’t see. Nowadays they call it being high functioning autist . Well whatever . All I know is whatever creative outlet they choose I will nurture the hell out of it.
So yeah when I first heard this song in 98 or 99 driving around it left such an impression on me that I remembered it for the rest of my life . So I guess I gotta look into Marcy Playground now right ? Lol . Everything happens for reason. Maybe I wasn’t meant to learn the music until I was older. Thanks for sharing that memory with me . It’s rare to meet people who freely share their surreal perspective in life. People (like my daughter) prefer to keep it personal and close out of fear of being misunderstood or ridiculed I guess .
@@itsjustagame5631 Ok. Welcome to The Jedi Training Academy of the Old Republic. Not kidding. Read further, only if I have not scared you off already. Are you prepared? I would and can guide you. You write, "It's rare to meet people who freely share their surreal perspective in life." Agreed. If you get nothing else from my response, consider watching my lone video. It is intended to awaken the remembrance of what you speak in the listener. I wanted it to be so pure of heart in delivery, that people would feel it was fit to be played to their daughters at night as a bed time story. Will you tell me if I succeeded? I truly understand all you beautifully share. Despite your kindly compliments, I cannot write, ... yet. I hold myself back. But I can still speak true. As you. You touched on so much that is imho Holy. I like how you highlight "ordinary". What do you know of Shamanism, Ordinary and Non-ordinary Consciousness? Much, I would wager. You write, "almost like my life is accentuated through the perspective of a movie director." Almost? It is. I promise. "Movie Director" is a label, but essentially correct. Bad directors can really screw things up for us. You write, "I feel dumb". I understand the feeling. But they are the ones that are dumb. Dumb as in Numb to common sense and the reality of what they could be as souls, while you understand the truth. Ever hear of the Ugly Duckling? Hi, Ugly. :) "But it does feel like a handicap not being able to offer a profound perspective to people anymore when needed in the heat of the moment ." Do you know how rare a statement this is? This statement sets you apart in my eyes. So clearly, the words are there for you when you forget they are not allowed to be. Access that. There are many ways to defeat the enemy of what you are meant to be. "You live and learn. And I learned." No. I say kindly friend, You did not learn, you were taught. Incorrectly. Oh, yes, you learned much, but not of what should have been taught. Time to Unlearn. "Seeing stars around someone is exactly the kind of life I used to live . As a child and an adult I use to have natural born kinda extra sensory visuals around people and situations. I always had it/this ability but never was able to explain it to my parents as a child ." Do you still "allow" these perceptions? Notice how I declare you the authority on what you perceive. Rare are the parents educated to be on the look out for such children. Indeed, protect the secret world of your daughter with all you have. It is her connection with the Divine. Lucretius called the "colored dots" Lifetrons I believe. This was thousands of years ago. Have you studied much the wisdom of India? Did you ever read the scholarly book on re-incarnation as exposed through an Alaskan Tribe, where it is common for the young children of 3-10 to "remember" who their uncles and aunties were the last time around? Eventually the tribe tells them they "Must Forget." And they do. But the records are kept. Yes, Nurture. So important. This is my email "reign_ashford_1@msn.com", should you want to speak further, if not know I have sought thru life to be as The Giving Tree and now I give you thanks for caring for your daughters and protecting their hearts.
Those melody's are so sick ,please come to Auckland New Zealand!
I feel like no one on the planet could every appreciate this band as much as I do. Just... wow. So fantastic. John Wozniak is my HERO.
Listen to this 4 times today not stoping
Incredible
my grandad got me into this band when I was a child.
I loved this album so much when it was released its the antem to my teenage 90's easy living
Now everyone needs to follow this song to Sherry Frasers band, Two Ton Boa, and show them some love.
one of my favorite songs
I love you sherry -mark, spray painted on an overpass in Slidell Louisiana lol
The album is iconic. I hope this reaches you all.
I can't stop hearing this song, it's so... great!
This is a beautiful song.
Rebel Sodville is probably my favorite by them. One More Suicide and Memphis ate up there as well
Josh Timmons I agree. Rebel Sodville is hands down one of their best songs.
Sheer unspeakable beauty, utter transcendence
What a criminally underrated band
Sixties child lovin Marcy Playground.
I'm still in love with Sherry Frazier ❤
I love ❤️ Marcy Playground
Just bought this album I was amazed by how great it is
this is my jam. this song always makes me wonder about my special lady who's god-know's-where
Almost unbelievably good...ranks with the best rock music ever made
+dackmont how about their other albums, like shapeshifter..?
JuliusSP1 Planning to check them out... any standout tracks you'd recommend?
+dackmont I've never listened to that album. that's why I asked. I've heard it's not as unique as their first album in that their production style and quality is different.. let me know if you like.
JuliusSP1
I heard same... also that this and Sex & Candy were the clear standouts on the debut. Thanks...
+dackmont look up saint Joe on the school bus,it's awesome
I saw them July 4th in El Paso. They did a good job.
Love this song. So pretty.
I’m crying. My first crush was Lola Mbola from Robotboy and I donated my blue cosplay dress with that belt painted on to it to Novita when I got too old for it. My twin sister also pretended to be Tommy by painting two stripes onto a white t-shirt. At least I know that these days, there’s probably a little girl in a wheelchair pretending to be her. It makes me both happy and sad
Best song to blaze to ever.
underrated band
I love Marcy Playground
I want play this song for my daughter at her wedding.
Yes they are! They are still touring and just put out their 4th record! Leaving Wonderland...In a fit of rage
They play the Whisky a go go in Hollywood CA this Thursday November 11, 2021
Love Marcy Playground. I remember listening to them when my older brother played them when I was 6.
