Nouveau retro pop rock music: Definitely rock, fairly pop, somewhat retro, and a bit more experimental. http://www.stonemarmot.com
Our music is the result of not watching TV for over 40 straight years. That's right! The person who writes all our songs hasn't had a working television in his house since January, 1982. Scary, isn't it! That could explain the somewhat retro, rather experimental feel to the music, which has been described as sounding somewhere between Buddy Holly, The Ramones, The B-52s, and They Might Be Giants. This CD is an object lesson in how warped and depraved a television-starved mind can get. And that's not all! To make matters worse, since no self-respecting human would stoop low enough to play this stuff, he suckered four poor, innocent cartoon characters into recording his music. Cartoon characters have it tough enough as it is, with people laughing at them all the time, without having to be subjected to this! His poor, unfortunate victims, who refer to themselves collectively as Stone Marmot, are: Cindy: Guitars Sid: Keyboards, guitars, lead and backup vocals Sammy: Bass, lead and backup vocals Bruce: Percussion, backup vocals This quartet played their little paper hearts out as the ignoble fiend who created them and their music practically produced and engineered them to death. Therefore, for the sake of the cartoons, we hope you give their music a good listen and try to appreciate their tireless and selfless efforts. Please! Don't let this happen to you or someone you love! Be sure you and your loved ones receive a healthy minimum dose of television each and every day.

Story behind the song
When Stan and I were at a JPF awards show in Los Angeles in Nov. 2004, we met a performer (Bonnie Janofsky, I think that is the correct spelling) whose mother had just died two weeks prior to the show. She was dedicating all her performances to her mother. She inspired this song.
Lyrics
by Stan Good and A. Karpinski Verse 1: Someone close to you No longer walks this earth Now you feel the pain Now you feel the hurt Now you feel so lost You keep it all inside Reach out your hand to me 'Cause it's OK to cry Verse 2: You never walk alone Don't think that no one cares This misery and pain Are something you should share Don't ever drown in grief Don't keep it all inside Tell me how you feel 'Cause it's OK to cry Bridge: I wish I could make it easy Letting go of someone that you love I only know we must go on living I'll share your sorrow if you'll share my hug Verse 3: The miracle of birth Brings joy amidst the pain The mystery of death Is harder to explain But don't you feel so lost Don't keep it all inside Share your grief with me 'Cause it's OK to cry Tag: I'll help you find relief It's OK It's OK to cry Copyright 2004 Stan Good and A.
