If it’s anything like norwegian NRK webtv, and it seems so from the clips avaliable on that SVT location Tobben mentioned, it will be avaliable fast after the show is finished. Let’s hope so ;)
Max-Tob said on October 28, 2005 17:07:
Thanx Tobbe! Anybody seen the show before? How long will it be?

HELP!! I got onto the above website to see Per , got Musicbyron on and do I need to get onto more...everything is in Swedish and I can’t read or understand it... although I wound up watching the Cardigans! LOVE ME! LOVE ME! Was I even close ? I am in US time which is 1:38 afternoon central standard time What time would it be in Sweden? I would love to see this! B
Tobben said on October 28, 2005 19:26:
@Roxette_for_me: Take it easy :)
The show hasn’t been broadcasted here yet :)
The time is 21:20 CET... 10 minutes left
Edit: I have seen Musikbyrån now. The Per Gessle-part was in the beginning. But now I have heard some snippets too :) It sounded intresting and special.
ATLTK said on October 28, 2005 19:58:
agree I do wonder where he got the inspiration for cmon on... feel like I´ve heard it b4 but where
Tobben said on October 28, 2005 20:08:

Enjoy ;)

They played clips of two songs.
Both sounded very 70’s... very... glam rock-ish...
Hmmm...
Rox1_4ever said on October 28, 2005 20:24:
Jo-anna says sounds GREAT!!!!!!!!!! C’mon was cool!!! I already love them both!!
Starrox said on October 28, 2005 20:55:
Wait, please don’t tell me you really are surprised songs by Per are mainstream! Did you honestly expect something else? ;-)
(BTW, I think Per was right when he said the songs don’t sound like anything else on the radio right now - might be a tough job to get them on the radio in countries other than Sweden!)
Oliver said on October 28, 2005 20:55:
Jo-Anna Says (=YES, SOUNDS GREAT).
C’mon (=No, sorry, I don’t like Per singing that way).
LoneGunman said on October 28, 2005 20:55:
Cool... “Jo-Anna Says” is absolutely PERfect... played the clip 1000 times already.
“C´mon” is very strange... I mean, should be a fantastic song but that falsetto voice ruined it. Sounds like Bee Gees... :(
But can´t wait to get the album !! SOAP will rule the world
Roxfever said on October 28, 2005 21:06:
I didn’t like what I heard either... but Crashi, I woulnd’t complain that it’s mainstream, not because it isn’t, but because Per’s music has always been mainstream. So if you don’t like mainstream I wonder what you like about Roxette?
crashroxer said on October 28, 2005 21:09:
One word - big discussion!
I love everything what Mr. Gessle is doing! He could play Jazz - I would love it.
LoneGunman said on October 28, 2005 21:22:
“I have to wait in the line and come back tomorrooooow”... Jo-Anna is a cruel girl.
Lars-Erik_Olson (moderator) said on October 28, 2005 21:25:
My immediate thought upon hearing some of these songs – since we’re always prone to make such comparisons – once I stopped thinking about Per and Roxette, was “Beatles!” And then I thought, yes (as Per has said he hopes)... this project could definitely have legs outside of Sweden. More on that soon by the way.
Rox-Van said on October 28, 2005 21:39:
oh my God :-O C’mon is really expectacular!!!! I’m very happy with these melodies, although, they seem to me well-known...;-)
PER I REALLY LOVE YOU!!!!!
sommartider said on October 28, 2005 22:07:
GOD!!!! both song sounds soooo sooo perfect!!!
It’s a torture to have to wait for the entire songs now!!!
tcooh said on October 28, 2005 22:56:
I’m totally hooked on the chorus of Jo-Anna Says. Love it!!! :D I really like the sound of the music, very much arrangements wise what I tought might come hearing from what music and time Per was inspired :) C’mon will take a bit more time for me to like, but it keeps growing.
Jo-Anna says has the best radio potential I’d say ;)
Jackeill said on October 28, 2005 23:25:
ok, i recorded short clips from this tv show. edited them, so there is no speaking. enjoy:

http://jackeill.net/mp3/joanna.mp3
i have to admit, that i love the songs already! they are not in the twatg style, but great anyway!
Roxxor said on October 29, 2005 00:01:
Thanks for the work, Jackeill, i´ll probably play this snippets over and over again the next days. :-)
Btw, Jo-Anna says is great!
Hotblooded said on October 29, 2005 00:55:
Loving ’Jo-Anna says’ :) ’C’mon’ mmmmm....needs some time don’t hate it and that’s always a start ;)
Hotblooded said on October 29, 2005 00:57:
BTW aren’t we just loving all this Per and Marie stuff right now :) :) :)
imazombieinthem... said on October 29, 2005 01:15:
How fresh and wonderful do those 2 songs sound!! Nothing weird about these 2 at all :P 23 to go!
Fernanda-Brasil said on October 29, 2005 01:42:
Iauuuuuuuuuu I loved to watch that.
I want to kill Jo-Anna. She’s a bad girl.
I loved this song. It’s fantastic :D
C’mon i still don’t know...it remembers me Bee Gees. Maybe when I listen all song I can change my opinion. Let’s wait!
BTW it’s Per Gessle and I can’t wait to put my hands on it to listen all songs.
Fê
joyrider said on October 29, 2005 05:40:
i guess that soap album will be the best “ROXETTE” album next to the world according to gessle... ;)

Max-Tob said on October 29, 2005 09:28:
what does he say in “c’mon”?...”Jo-Anna take a break, won’t you come out and play today?...baby c’mon...” and then?? the more I listen to it, the less I undertsand...Anyone with bettter ears/English?
But I like “C’mon” better than “Jo-Anna says” anyway. It’s great. It’s different and surprising.
Bibou said on October 29, 2005 10:08:
“C’mon” makes me think about The artist formally known as Prince.
“Jo-anna” is very Beatles-ish.
I think this album is gonna be a Hit (even here in France ;-) )
tevensso (moderator) said on October 29, 2005 10:20:
Jo-Anna, take a break
won’t ya come out to play to play
baby c’mon (baby c’mon)
dye your dancin’shoes really brite
I wrote a song for you
baby c’mon baby c’mon
Max-Tob said on October 29, 2005 10:36:
tev, are u positive the lyrics you’ve just mentioned are from the snippets we’ve got from the tv show? lol...I am almost sure I hear something else...couldn’t tell ya what exactly though...the word “sleep” might be involved anyway in what I hear...
chrisjankunas said on October 29, 2005 10:52:
I think musically, Joana says is quite similar to How Do You Do

Poor little me - I’m without computer the next few days ;-(

Sascha said on October 29, 2005 14:41:
Thanx for the snippets. Both songs sound really fun! I even prefer C’mon for the moment... :-)
Ramas said on October 29, 2005 15:28:
Could anyone write down the lyrics of “Joana says” snippet ? It seems simple, but some lines are difficult to understand
ChrisWilliams said on October 29, 2005 16:59:
His pronunciation’s a bit dodgey on some of the words, but here’s my guess at the lyrics:
- - -
Joanna says
I’m not the only one
Joanna says
I’ll never be the one
But when she smiles, there’s something in her eyes
That tells me I’m not like the other guys
Joanna says
I have to give it time
Joanna says
She’s just got to make up her mind
Joanna says
I have to wait in line and come back tomorrow
coyboyusa said on October 29, 2005 17:28:
if the whole album is gonna be in that bad falsetto even my cats are gonna wanan scratch it n pee on it
Jackeill said on October 29, 2005 18:44:
bad falsetto? it’s great, it reminds me a little bit of prince. it’s something new in per’s style!!
IV_ROX said on October 29, 2005 18:54:
Hm, not good...I didn’t even get a single thrill. The falsetto doesn’t bother me as much as the production: Per, iPod=>2005, the two songs I heard=>long time ago!
Hope the rest of the CD is better, or at least when I hear the songs in better quality it will be different.
Rox On!
ChrisWilliams said on October 29, 2005 19:40:
@ Jackeill
Forgot to say...
Thanks ever so much for saving me a job in transferring the songs into MP3. Most kind of you!
Bunio said on October 29, 2005 19:48:
C’mon is superb!! I love it. Chorus is perfect! I don’t mind even that falsetto :)
GREAT JOB, PER!
AURYTE said on October 29, 2005 20:47:
I fell in love instantly with them both.
Definetely - Gessle for President!!!
wonderful_balloon said on October 29, 2005 21:19:
i loooove both songs .... waaahhh - wanna listen to them all!!
Jud (moderator) said on October 29, 2005 21:52:
he said iPod, but he also said he went through all his collection (vinyls = old ;)) so that’s soap :)
Fortius said on October 29, 2005 23:22:
Yeah I think too, that the songs have something of Beatles last era, the most psychodelic and I like it a lot. It makes me think that Per is like McCartney and in a certain way Marie could be like Lennon (musically talking!!!).
Btw, I agree with the people who already likes C´mon, from the artist fromerly known as Per Gessle.
I Love you Per!!, you are like the Wine.
Cheers ;)
LoneGunman said on October 30, 2005 01:10:
Am I the only one that is absolutelly in love with “Jo-Anna Says”... so much in love that could sell my own kidney just to get this song full right now ?
Nox1983 said on October 30, 2005 03:42:
I ´ve got the same feeling about Prince. C´mon is just great, so catchy but no that sweet like “Real Sugar”
Mari said on October 30, 2005 05:40:
Jo-anna says sounds great! C’mon is also nice song. But it’s you can’t judge song if you have heard only 10 sec of it.
CRIZ said on October 30, 2005 13:27:
Coool songs...! Now I’m getting unpatient..
but the falsetto thing is strange...as some already wrote...Prince..Bee Gees?? hmm...I still think that falsetto is nothing for Pers voice. But..well, seems that he had a lot of fun to record it...
Edit: now it just came into my mind which musicstyle came into my head while listening to c’mon......Ojoj..seems I am old enough to say: T-REX!!!!!
Denstandigaresan said on October 30, 2005 13:39:
Oh, yeah... I must say I wasn’t too hot on this album when I first heard about it... but yeah, I like the sound of the 2 clips!! Yay!
Fernanda-Brasil said on October 30, 2005 18:41:
LoneGunman I’m with you ahaahahahahaha!
That sounds fantastic!!!!
PS: Cadê você no forum homem de Deus!!!! Ajuda lá pra ver se Per responde uma perguntinha nossa.
Bjos,
Fê
mattias said on October 30, 2005 18:51:
For the guitarplayers, I think the chorus in Jo-Anna goes C G Am F.
Fernanda-Brasil said on October 30, 2005 21:04:
Mattias I also think so. I found the same chords as you :)
PiterPam said on October 31, 2005 01:35:
Yeah, i like both.
C´mon is superb. It will be a great album :)
carbon_boy said on October 31, 2005 07:24:
OMG!!! C’mon is absolutely AWESOME!!!! It’s very glam/70’s rock - and you guys know there’s a revival of this tipe of music hapening in the UK at the moment. I’m over the moon!
Mr. G - you did great! :o)
@Criz: YES!!! T-Rex!!! I love them!!! And someone mentioned McCartney... spot on guys!
oukkirox said on October 31, 2005 09:52:

KixGuy said on October 31, 2005 11:33:
Both songs are really great! Can’t quite tell which one is my favourite!
And what abou the single cover??? It’s sooooooo cool!! I want that single right now! C’mon!!
carlitos said on October 31, 2005 12:15:
Great songs made by Gessle and Co. is it a deja vu, isn´t it?
I want video-clips for the singles like TWATG videos!!!!
Mary said on October 31, 2005 16:27:
Same here. Can’t wait to hear the whole thing!
I’m trying to get more of “C’mon” by discarding the interview from the original file but the sound is too bad and irregular after the edition. Anyway, at least this: the chords in “Jo-Anna Says” after the chorus seem to go on A E D A E.
AddeColciago said on November 1, 2005 12:13:
“JO-Anna Says” is really great. “C’mon”, njae maybe after listening to it for a while..
