your vocals in ’blue umbrella’ are very Per reminiscent... think you could use a better microphone... nice though :)

Erik said on June 3, 2005 07:36:

Thanks for listening! Sorry, but my site seems to have turned into som freaky pornsite so I had to upload the files elsewhere. Blue Umbrella can be downloaded here: http://erik.sandberg0.tripod.com/Songs/blue_umbrella.mp3

Another song, “Var Är Hon Nu?”, which is written and recorded by me (I’m swedish, so is the lyrics, if anyone wonders), can be downloaded here: http://erik.sandberg0.tripod.com/Songs/r_hon_nu.mp3

Me and a friend of mine, Jesse, wrote and recorded a song called Just Rain awhile ago. It can be downloaded here (Jesse singing): http://erik.sandberg0.tripod.com/Songs/Just_Rain.mp3

Okay I noticed some shit about the links, you have to right-click and choose “Save Target As..” or else it won’t work.

Erik:
Your voice is so closest to Per’s one, especially in Var Är Hon Nu? (remind me Galning :)) If I didn’t know that I believed that it is Per demo:)

Just rain is also good ... in per style too :)

I also like to record roxette songs but now i can’t share them..some problems with server. :)

harriej said on June 3, 2005 14:24:

@Erik: Never heard a voice coming so close to Per’s voice.
And your tracks have a lot in common with the “Scener”-album.
You could be Per’s younger brother!
I hope you will succeed in making a music-carreer.
It still sounds as a demo, but I guess with some good equipment it will be great.
Go on like this and you will hopefully have a lot of succes!

Usually I don’t like covers at all, but here is an example of how it should be done!!!

Erik said on June 5, 2005 12:31:

Thank you guys for nice comments, and most of all for listening! :D Please, if anyone else has any covers, upload them so we all can listen :)

Thank you once again!!

/Erik

(My elder brother sounds more like Per than I do ;P)

abc123 said on June 10, 2005 09:08:

Yes, I’m also very curious about your cover versions. Please check your links again, I also have difficulties downloading them...

Erik said on June 15, 2005 21:08:

As I mentioned earlier, you have to right-click and select “Save Target As” on the links. Otherwise it won’t work. =P :)

m-cvk said on June 16, 2005 22:47:

I really like your version of “galning” :-)

m-cvk said on June 18, 2005 19:19:

Well...and the song is build up like Galning, the bass is almsot the same and the melody of the verses are kinda similar...it’s very clear to hear you got the inspiration from Galning...

maybe you can put a filter in front of the mic as you hear the ’p’ s etc like you’re spitting (not that you are), you’ll probably know what I mean :-)

Erik said on June 19, 2005 18:18:

Hi Fabian! Thanks for listening! “Var är hon nu?” is my own song. I’m currently just waiting for my elec. guitar to be resurrected once again (he’s been through a hard time recently), so I can continue on my solo-album. The album will just contain songs in english, I changed my mind, and is very “The World According To Gessle”-inspired. I will announce when the album is ready to download! :)

Have a nice day!

Erik,
Sweden

The 727 link doesnt work ! :(

PS AN unreleased Gessle Demo - Blue Umbrella !!!!

roxcyn said on September 14, 2005 04:53:

To VioRox:

I’ve tried to download your remakes (covers) of the songs but I get 404 errors, is there something wrong with that website? :S

chrisjankunas said on September 14, 2005 06:25:

Erik - I meant that I just downloaded an unreleased demo of blu eumbrella lol.

roxcyn - thanx for this, ill try it later,

mediamaffia said on September 14, 2005 10:18:

Eric, these tracks are great - is it you on the guitar? I’ve heard the tracks but not really read the info at the website - I wish I could play guitar lol

You sound sooooooo like Per sometimes - it’s uncanny!! Lucky you hehe!

I will post some of my Roxette inspired tracks soon.

x

Erik said on September 14, 2005 10:26:

temporarly try this link:

“Var är hon nu?” : http://www.jamma.se/artists/tracks/80e49ec0903f1e8fa1a81df33841d6b1.mp3

it’s just my own song, but that’s the only one i found on another server :/ however, i will upload all songs (Var är hon nu?, Blue Umbrella, Just Rain, Om du ser henne, Fåglar, Var blev du av, a crappy version of Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla) =p in other words, a lot of covers! :)

Lennon said on September 14, 2005 11:41:

Thanx! Now I got “Var är hon nu”:

The voice really sounds cloned :-)
The Song seems very similar to Galning, it truley could be a Gessle-Demo! The microphone-plopps are a bit annoying, but it is cool!

Hope you can upload the cover-songs soon :-)

Thanx again,

Mario.

Erik said on September 16, 2005 11:12:

Haha nice one ;P I think I keep my original name whatsoever ;P

roxcyn said on October 7, 2005 01:36:

oooh, so can you upload them to a place where we can download them? :D. My computer is very slow to listen to direct feed

bbrox said on October 16, 2005 17:32:

I was just reading old topics when I found this! And it´s great! I like the songs from Erik! He really sounds like the “young” Mr. Gessle!

I remember when I tried to record own cover versions of Rox. But unfortunately I don´t have the technical equipment to do it right...

Galning said on October 26, 2005 19:27:

Check out www.fanism.org

I did an interesting Cover with “ketil”. He lives in Norway and I live in south Germany. But in spite that fact we made a Roxette Cover together:

He recorded the drums and the bass with his Keyboard and Computer and did it on a CD which he send to me by Post. Then I recorded three e-Guitars and mixed it together and send it back to him also on CD. Then he recorded some Keyboard-Sounds and did the vocals. He send back to me about 3 or 4 different versions of mixing and I decided which one we take... He wanted more like a H.A.N.D. version and I wanted more a CBB.Version. So we decided to make a mix of both!

By the way: It was sommartider...

liebling said on January 26, 2006 16:07:

please, give us some more?

Galning said on April 25, 2006 12:41:

@skidallan: Wow, your voice sounds almost like Per Gessle!!!! I heard Something happened... I couldn´t open the other ones... but I would be interested in them... Well, you have to try very hard to hit the right notes... but If you improved that and you can sing the right notes you could really make the best Gessle-Covers!

@Erik: I heard your self-written song (which sounds a little bit like the Song “Galning”). Really impressing, your voice sounds like the young Gessle! I heard some of your covers a long time ago (didn´t you make these covers on www.fanism.org with your band and solo?). But this is the first time that your voice sounds like that. What is the secret behind it? :-)

Rox-Van said on June 1, 2006 16:42:

Thanks roxers!, I want more of skidallan -> for president!!!

regn said on June 4, 2006 05:13:

I hope that when i could play better the guitar Thanx for your comment ;-)

Rox-Van said on June 5, 2006 22:33:

Thank you, right now I listen to them...

tavo said on June 6, 2006 14:36:

regn, i really liked your version of chances. it was pretty good. the mood in it, so different from the original, it´s just great.

Rox-Van said on June 8, 2006 17:02:

I like “lova att du aldrig glömmer bort mig” and “something happen today” ;) .. do you have anything more?.

Rox-Van said on June 13, 2006 18:08:

Good ;) who is your friend...?

Mary said on August 8, 2006 12:38:

Thanks Erik, it’s awesome!
There are still problems with two songs though; “Då Är Du Ensam” and “Ta Inte Din Skönhet Bort Ifrån Mej”; maybe because of the special “å” sign the pages couldn’t take?
