Sleeping single, when Marie sings “..I’ll die for YOU”. It gives me sort of a thrill.

Almost Unreal ! Everytime I hear those three guitar chords in the chorus I light up! I’m only 17 now so when Almost Unreaa was big in the Uk (93) I was only 6 ! It was my favourite song even before I sought out the group behind it !

i have/ had this with almost every Rox-song. I think that depends a lot on the volume you listen to Roxette. it is at it’s very best LOUD and with a lot of bass (try it with high quality headphones!!!). then you can hear that: there are some moments in Rox songs, where Marie’s voice has this very very special vibration... (as mentioned from Permaniac above), and for me THATS really Roxette. I miss these moments on Room Service (and kinda on HAND, although I love many songs of both albums).
my fav Rox-“ear-orgasm”-songs: (sorry moderators ;-) )
- things will nbts
- imhbl
- excited
- paint
- flaf
- ltyh
- salvation
- dressed 4s
- spending my time (still: THANK YOU PER & MARIE FOR STARTING TO PLAY IT IN STUTTGART 2001!!!)
- cbb
- ... uh, the list could be very long ;-))
...it almost hurts to talk about Roxette songs ;-) I want them so much to come back.

When I was about 10 years old I used to listen to ’The Look’ live, on Tourism every day without fail. Since then, no.

Even though I do not listen to it that much, the song “Surrender” gives me a thrill.

the first roxette’s music i listened were ’it must have been love’ and ’listen to your heart’ in 1995,b-cos my mother love these, about me, (believe if want) I hated,so a day she bought greatest hits-2000 and i loved ’wish i could fly’ not so much but it was the first roxette’s music i liked.In january 2003 she still bought ’B&P hits’ and when i heard ’Salvation’ principally in the chorus an in the part wich Per sings i simply traveled to other planet,i flew,and felt a tinhg like if his voice is touching me in this,it was incrible and also today i feel this sansation,the best wich a music can makes in you

Opportunity Nox I think... It’s fairly rare that I like songs first up, or get carried away replying them over and over but it happened with that.

I had a strange feeling, when I first heard “Never is a long time”. It felt as Marie was sitting or standing right next to me. Her voice is so clear and “naked” in this record... I played it a million times afterwards, but never got the same feeling again, but I still love it, it’s very touching...

I felt that magic sensation when I listened to:
Voices - When I bought the re-release of “Pearls Of Passion” and I first listened to the chorus of that song, it really touched my heart! I don’t know exactly why, but I felt like I already listened to that song a long time ago and a good feelling came back again!
Vulnerable - It’s a pearl. The way that Per sings it, the violins... When I listen to a song, I like to pay attention to the melody. And, this one is so wonderful... It’s the kind of song that needs a instrumental version, in my opinion! It’s a music that I play loud...
Queen Of Rain - My ears never get tired of “Queen Of Rain”. The oboe sound, the Marie’s voice, the chorus...

For me, it’s several songs, but to narrow it down:
Almost Unreal
You Don’t Understand Me
Here Comes the Weekend

I remember the first time I listened to “Do You Wanna Be My Baby?”. I got the single as a present on my 15th birthday. Back then I didn´t have the internet, and wasn´t as up to date on what happened in the Rox-world like I am these days. I had heard that Gessle was releasing a solo-album - but getting that single totally took me by surprise.
Anyway, I remember loving that song the first time I listened to it. I mean, it was (and still is) a great meoldy. I loved the drums in the intro, Pers “rocky” voice, the guitar-solo, EVERYTHING.
Usually when I first listen to a Gessle song, at list in the later years, it has been like this:
First listen - OK or What???
Second listen - This sounds good.
Third or fourth listen - LOVE IT!
Both “Tuffa Tider” and “HKAK” would fit this reaction.

It was The Big L for me, so obsession I taped it from the radio and made a 90 minute tape of it because I could not afford to buy it... my mum got so hacked off hearing all day that she went out and bought me the Joyride album! :)
When a friend copied some GT stuff for me, I became obsessed with them and my faves where Sommertider and Billy! :)

Jep, with some songs I did have that kind of feeling, especially with ’It hurts’.
Erik said on May 11, 2005 18:22:
“Keep me waiting”. The “oooh”:s in the background in the chorous is just... magic!
jluis said on May 18, 2005 11:01:
My orgasms came with ’The Look’, ’Spending my time’ and the ’See me’ Dietrix remix.
Was good as well with ’June Afternoon’, ’Almost unreal’ and ’You don’t understand me’, but i was bored of these last songs after hearing them for twice.
Sparvogamarie said on May 18, 2005 11:27:
Does it have to be a Rox song? Cos I went nuts for Marie’s ’Så länge det lyser mittemot’ the first time i heard it. I had to play it over and over, even get up early just to hear it again. Still love that song.

When I was only 13 , I remember the first time I heard Come Back (before you leave), I don´t know why but I felt that time like a shockwave hitting my senses.When the son got to the chorus for the first time, Marie´s voice rose with special and vibrating power.That was a magic moment , and his effect was lasting in my mind during many months..Have you ever feel something like that with a rox track? I mean something really special ! ;)
