Oh..C’mon!
Why AAY? It sounds like a typical “Roxette-Song”...

Who cares what the next single is, its hardly being done to sell loads and go #1 is it.
I love the song but then i love all of them so i wouldn’t care what was next if any.

Oh no, not this song... :o( It shoud be something stronger, not another sweet pop song... I think it’s boring.

A very bad choice, in my opinion... “Bad Moon” or “Mother” would have made a bigger splash. Of course, nobody buys singles anyway, but this song won’t create any new interest in “The Change.”

looks at calender... isn’t that like THIS WEDNESDAY!!! Oi... that’s very soon, don’t ya think?
purplemedusa said on November 26, 2004 22:59:
Ooo hope that it includes some nice b-side & a cover actually using some of those promo photo’s!!
Sparvogamarie said on November 26, 2004 23:13:
Hmm I think the cover will probably be more of Marie’s drawings....ehhh I appreciate her art and all, but agree with PM pix would be nice.
Eloy said on November 27, 2004 01:00:
well, personally “all about you”is one of my favourites songs even though I would vote for “mother”.
I think the cover will be a new drawing. I hope we all get a cool b-side, why not “hometown” or “remember” ? :) and they also should include the documentary. id they do that we would get a great single, I think :D
Rox-Van said on November 27, 2004 03:27:
it is a good election, though preferred mother/bad moon/all you’ve gotta do is feel:-)
Vixzter said on November 27, 2004 08:10:
You lot will moan about anything, does it matter whats being released?
ncurran said on November 27, 2004 09:21:
i kind of thought that aswell kiwein, since you could hear it in the background on the documentary
Mary said on November 27, 2004 10:52:
I had the same thoughts as well; now that at least a part of it got somehow available it would be worth releasing as a B-side on the forthcoming single.
Nox1983 said on November 27, 2004 11:41:
what about Bad Moon? most of people wanted this single to be 2nd single... Mother also is a great song, or Many Times... but All about You... :-S
sweepi said on November 27, 2004 12:12:
I haven’t got the album yet (it hasn’t been released here in Portugal yet) and haven’t yet heard any other song than “2:nd Chace” so I can’t actually say much about the supposed potencial (or whatever!) “All About You” may possibly have or not to be released as a single. Yet, and if I’m allowed to my very personal view, for as ridiculous as it may be, I don’t know, still, I believe Marie is wanting and trying to express and in a way show us and make us all feel the whole much Micke does mean to her. I saw it being so in “2:nd Chance”. I saw it being so in having the songs by him in her album. I see it being so in releasing now “All About You” as the coming single. Please let her... :) Nox1983 just wrote referring to “Bad Moon”: “most of people wanted this single to be 2nd single”. True. But perhaps Marie wants “All About You” to be it?... Please let her... :)

AL ABOUT YOU is one if my favourites and yes, it’s a very ROXETTE’ish song. I love it.
I don’t think, there is a posibility that documentary will be released as a bonus in the single. I prefer it would be release as DVD.
GT_85 said on November 27, 2004 13:30:
Of course the documentary will not be released until it has been shown on as many tv-channels as possible.
Jud (moderator) said on November 27, 2004 19:21:
nono, we already know the demo of that one, a new song that we’ve NEVER heard would be best, or what about that track we can hear few seconds in Sant är livet film :D *hint hint*
Mishka said on November 27, 2004 23:22:
My opinion of the 2nd single:
“Bad Moon”, “April Snow” - yes, “All About You” - no.
—
Why “Solsken”, not “72”? Why “All About You”, not “Bad Moon”?????? :(((((((((((
AURYTE said on November 28, 2004 07:00:
Personally, I have no problems with ALL ABOUT YOU releasing as the 2nd single.:):):)
Rich-UK said on November 28, 2004 09:25:
I think Solsken & All About You are perfect choices for the second single... Rich
TheRain1981 said on November 29, 2004 05:51:
While “All About You” isn’t my favorite on the album and I was hoping for something else as the second single, I think it’s a fair choice since a lot of you seem to really like it. I’ll go for it. “April Snow” is probably my favorite right now, possibly followed by “The Good Life.” But opinions change. Single-wise, I would have gone with either “Bad Moon” or “Mother” as the second single. Let’s just hope that there will be more singles issued, regardless of what they are.
Hopefully we’ll see some of these leaked demos appear as b-sides on the single or maxi-single releases. Here is the chance for the label to officially put them out commercially. With the single coming out December 1, hopefully “Remember” will make the cut since it deals with the New Year. ;)

All about you is really a great choice as 2nd single, from my point of view. The ones who want to help 2nd chance to get more airplay in Germany, can vote now for the song on:

ncurran said on November 29, 2004 13:46:
just voted....and i dont think you need to be in germany to vote. After you press “abstimmen” it asks you for a few details, but you can just enter your name and email and it seems to work OK. It said my vote was sent anyway
Rich-UK said on November 29, 2004 15:28:
Nice! An alternative version of April Snow sounds exciting. It’s my favourite track at the moment but All About You is a better choice of single imo. To release both tracks on a CDS sounds perfect. All the best, Rich ;-)
coyboyusa said on November 29, 2004 16:08:
alternate version? what is it gonna be like the bothery they did of the change with all the overboard guitars?
Rich-UK said on November 29, 2004 16:13:
Maybe an orchestral version or one without the choir?? Rich
per_mson said on November 29, 2004 17:17:
Ahhh, this was a nice cover!! :-)) Nice combination of colours. :-))
sommartider said on November 29, 2004 17:31:
’All about you’ isn’t one of my favorites in the album, I never imagined that it could be the second single.
Anyway, I can’t wait to hear the alternative version of ’april snow’!!!!!!!
tevensso (moderator) said on November 29, 2004 18:15:
The alternative version is with the overdrive guitar only.
Kiwein1 said on November 29, 2004 18:36:
Overdrive guitar only and Marie’s voice?? Oh YEEEEEEEEEES!!! That is what I wished since I heard April Snow for the first time...
Stockholm-Syndrom said on November 29, 2004 18:43:
i think, taking “all about you” as the second single is the most natural choice. i like the arrangement of the song and a think “aay” could become a hit. Although it is not the best and strongest Song on the album, so it is the best song for the radio...
patolucas said on November 29, 2004 18:49:
The cover is extremely cute!!!Very nice for a love song!
Oh,April Snow it’s my fave on the album,i cabn’t wait to hear this version!
AURYTE said on November 29, 2004 21:58:
ALL ABOUT YOU is one of the most radio-friendly songs on the album. It’s a wise choice.
And the cover is great!!!
Spooky_Roxie said on November 29, 2004 22:17:
“April snow”should be the second single... with “AAY” as the b-side :D
mf2004 said on November 30, 2004 06:04:
All the songs are very great, but maybe i prefer other single, but anyway All about you, is very nice, and i want that this song will be a hit.
Marie: “Good luck & I tell you Many times, I love you more than ever”.
Rich-UK said on November 30, 2004 11:36:
Mmmm... I’ll look forward to the overdrive guitar version... especially as I prefer the song before the choir! All the best, Rich
Starrox said on November 30, 2004 19:10:
Strange, the single’s not listed at Skivhugget and CDOn doesn’t even know about it! Pretty unusual considering it’s supposed to be out tomorrow...
Jud (moderator) said on November 30, 2004 19:18:
yeah :S but EMI didn’t say the info wasn’t correct either :S
GT_85 said on November 30, 2004 20:03:
Today at 20:15 it was tv-comercial about The Change on TV4 in Sweden. Marie sang som songs and the voice said it was “the most longed-for comeback of the year, Marie sing songs about life.”
daniel_alv said on December 1, 2004 12:32:
CDON has listed it as coming... Will be fun to see if they have it at skivhuset today...
purplemedusa said on December 1, 2004 18:42:
Did anyone actually managed to get hold of the single today?
Starrox said on December 1, 2004 23:57:
The release date has been pushed back to next week, it seems...EMI at their best again!
purplemedusa said on December 2, 2004 18:38:
Star is that official? I think that infor should be added to the article then!!
roxtexanet said on December 2, 2004 20:43:
@GT_85: Thanks for the info... glad to see that EMI is still serious about promoting “The Change” in Sweden.
Jud (moderator) said on December 2, 2004 21:57:
Purple: not really, CDON is selling it now, it’s just that the CDs will be delivered late .. for some “mysterious reason” ;)
Starrox said on December 3, 2004 03:14:
OK, I should have worded that differently: the release date is still the same, but the delivery date has been pushed back to next week ;-)
Sparvogamarie said on November 26, 2004 19:42:
Hey cool, I was just thinking today that they should release a 2nd single. Great!
