More information...

The Green Pajamas have released a new single based on the tragic news story of Phoebe Prince. Performed by Jeff Kelly and Laura Weller, the song, "The Red, Red Rose," was written by Kelly to express his anger and sadness after reading of Phoebes suicide following intense bullying from schoolmates in Massachusetts in January of this year. Single contains 4 previously unreleased bonus tracks. Press: " The stark yet propulsive tune is, in a word, haunting, recalling vintage Sandy Denny-era Fairport Convention as envisioned through a dark psychedelic lens - and we defy anyone not to feel a lump in the throat when Kelly gets to the lines, "One January afternoon/ They killed you in your school clothes." Please listen to this song; it's an important one. Much like Neil Young's "Ohio" brought the Kent State deaths of 1970 into focus, "The Red, Red Rose" helps crystallize both the emotions and nuances of a tragedy that sometimes get obscured in the black-and-white world of news reports." Fred Mills - Blurt Fifty percent of all proceeds will go to The Jason Foundation (http://www.jasonfoundation.com), dedicated to the prevention of youth suicide.
