Marcy Playground - Sherry Fraser 

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.

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

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

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

Exactly the same and even tho I love Sex and Candy this might actually be my favorite.

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...

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.

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!

Very True

Well said

Calling everything underrated is overrated

Deaf Omega Same, but I'm also 17

This was the second album I ever owned, 31 now and feel old

Same, and I'm 48 you puppies. 😎

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

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

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.

Hi neighbor!!! (I'm from PA) but you're sooo right, He is so adorable!! And I'm not even into dudes hahaha.

You can always visit her on holiday mate LOL

Josh Timmons I agree. Rebel Sodville is hands down one of their best songs.

I thought she reunited with the band and made some recordings

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.

Someone misinformed you, none of them have ever lived in long island

***** MmHm. Woz and Dylan met in NYC, through a mutual friend, though Dylan and Dan knew each other {and worked together on multiple projects}, mostly jazz} since college at Berkeley, in Boston.

Hell in a handbasket.

What do you mean?

Hello. From four years in the future. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet .

@@itsjustagame5631 Hello from today's update....that's the point....

@@docholiday13 , I’d imagine that within the next month someone is going to do something so epically stupid it will be in the history books

I wonder if she ever made a song in response to this one...

It doesn't seem like she did. I wonder if they are still friends?

chasspeed they are. Sherry still contributed to the band via her artwork even.

I am
