Don´t you think Per should let Marie do all the singing?

Roxreporter said on July 20, 2005 17:55:

If you mean only in this song, I guess SDLHA should have been great marie singing it too. But I defenitly like the original one too.

It should be “He Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” in that case... LOL

Great song - very much of the Per stage at the time.

Nope, the song is PERfect the way it is, they couldn’t have made it better.

My least favorite Roxette song together with “View from A Hill”. But Pers singing is ok.

No this song suit Pers voice very well

i think per has a great voice,coyh,iltsocg,harleys,fireworks are just a few where i’d say his voice was perfect

Once in an interview, they (Roxette) mentioned they just looked for each song who’s voice suited the song best and that person was gonna be the singer.
For some songs it is Per, for other songs Marie and in some the combination of the 2.

no way - it’s great as it is.

Santi said on July 21, 2005 08:04:

I think that thematically is more like for a guy to sing, and it sounds so much like Gyllene Tider all in all that it would make no sense Marie doing the lead vocals.

AURYTE said on July 21, 2005 12:04:

I totally agree with you, Santi.

In my opinion, She Doesn’t Live Here Anymore is the most Gyllene Tider-ish sounding Roxette song!

tevensso (moderator) said on July 21, 2005 12:09:

Probably because it is mainly Gyllene Tider performing it. :) Only Göran missing. Same thing with June Afternoon, but I assume you know this already.

I would have preferred “t-t-t take it” for don’t bore us. SDLHA isn’t so special imho.

T-T-T-ake is such a boring song! It builds you up but lets you down as the boring chorus! SDLHA is far better! One of my favs! :-)

She Doesn’t Live Here Anymore is perfect. What an amazing song. Should have been a lead single. Should have been a Pop Hit :-)

chrisjankunas said on July 21, 2005 20:22:

SDLHA is my ringtone on my phone ! ;)

KixGuy said on July 22, 2005 02:14:

I agree with every word Rich-UK said! :P

Not heard this for so long...

PiR_GeSSLe said on July 25, 2005 01:11:

Is Marie actually doing backing vocals on the song or is just Per doing falsetto? I can’t find her voice back there.

It’s definately one of my fav songs!

Santi said on July 25, 2005 09:17:

In my opinion is Per’s falsetto.

Zargo said on July 25, 2005 10:09:

It’s certainly not Marie on vocals... I always feel a little strange watching her mime Per’s vocals in the video.

Funny that the most popular Rox song these days is actually a cross between an ’Ep’ and a ’TWATG’ track.
