It's my birthday today, so I thought I would share with you one of those song which reminds me of of being 16. Marion was a band which promised so very much. They were fresh and exciting, they were the light of hope of a new smiths, in a world fill with grunge. The were filled with melody, but still were able to rock you to the core.
