It Takes You No Time To Get Here sounded so simple and so unhit to me for the first time. But after many and many listenings I found out, that this song is very special. Now I really love this song. I have the same story with Place Your Love or The Weight Of The World. But we are talking about Per so ITYNTTGH is my fav.

For me... anything he sings is good.

Definitely “The Heart Shaped Sea”!!!
I can’t describe how much I love this song :-)
rox-kuryliw said on December 19, 2006 09:47:
mmm let me think, i personally would say call of the wild. his voice keeps getting higher and higher. he had a more rusty lower vocals pre DGUGTTC.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on December 20, 2006 08:58:
I think it must It Takes You No Time To Get There. His voice really has improved a lot over the years, and he’s sounding better than ever at the moment I think.

The choice is really difficult, and I agree with most of the songs that has been mentioned (A thing about you, It take you no time to get here, She doesn’t live here anymore...) but I’ll say another one: Call of the wild
crazy said on December 20, 2006 18:18:
My two favorites: the intro of How do you do (very hot voice) and Cinnamon Street, I adore Per singing ” ...and the sun smiling gently...”
roxboy2006 said on December 20, 2006 19:32:
It take you no time to get here, one of the best songs ever sing by per... by the way, The world acording to gessle, i love kix with a so lovely-strange video!!

I know it is not strictly Roxette but surely “Something Happened” from SOAP is up there.
Baby-C said on December 22, 2006 21:26:
My fave songs with Per as the lead singer.. well, I could make a list of basically all songs he sings.. but if I’d have to narrow it down to just a few songs.. it’s these.
- I was so lucky (Demo)
- Vulnerable
- Church of your heart
- Fireworks
- Better off on her own
- Bla bla bla, you broke my heart
PiterPam said on December 23, 2006 01:37:
“I was so lucky” and “BlaBlaBla”. I like it, how he speeks the “heart” out. “You broke my heaaarrrrttttthhhhhh. It´s funny ^^
Tonito123 said on December 23, 2006 15:34:
“Bla bla bla, I Could Never Give You Up, The look, A Thing About You....I just love that sexy voice of his...
miss-misery said on December 23, 2006 15:37:
The Look and The Heart Shaped Sea. Two different styles and two great performances.

I love “7Twenty7”, “Oportunity Nox”, “Centre Of The Heart” and I have to agree with “How Do You Do!” Per does sound pretty sexy there.
Julz said on October 11, 2007 23:41:
Hey! You are a guy, right? No offence to the per shoppin’ in other discussion!! Hee, hee. You’re cool, mate!! It’s not a poll just for girls. Guys can vote for Marie’s vocals or say per is a cool dude! :-)>
LookSharp81 said on October 12, 2007 06:30:
For me it’s an old one this time: “(I could never) Give you up”
CoyRoy said on October 12, 2007 07:39:
Personally, I think Per has never sung better than on the demo of “Something In The System”.
Other songs he does great is:
How Do You Do!
Real Sugar!
Opportunity Nox
Fireworks
She Doesn’t Live Here Anymore
Lies
I Love The Sound Of Crashing Guitars
Do You Wanna Be My Baby?
Joyride
The Look
The Heart Shaped Sea

Nobody mentioned my absolute fav: “Anyone” demo version (RoxBox). I can listen it for hours!
modernatidergt25 said on October 12, 2007 12:35:
HAHAHAHA... no, I’m not a boy, I took a look under my pants and I’m happy to be a girl.:) but when I was reading this topic mostly of the answers sounded to me like everybody was saying (*fake girly voice*) “ohh! he is so sexy” Personally I don’t like at all Per’s voice.
ncurran said on October 12, 2007 14:55:
Ballad: “It takes you no time to get here”. Generally I think Per is rubbish at singing ballads, but this one really suits his voice....quite simple, but a beautiful tune, and his voice sounds good.
Up-tempo: “She doesn’t live here anymore”. An all round great song, and again it suits his voice.
roxettemalin said on October 12, 2007 16:17:
I have to say “Joyride” and “Church of Your Heart”. But I really love the demo version of “Run to You” when Per sings it!
Roxreporter said on October 12, 2007 17:22:
Hm, for me:
“Harleys And Indians”
“June Afternoon”
” The Heart Shaped Sea”
Julz said on October 12, 2007 22:54:
You’re female? It really confused mwe how you commented on some of the female artists, that’s why I thought you were a fella. That’s ok, at least I didn’ offend ya with my “male” comment. :-) I reckon Per can sing pretty bad at times. I know when I heard him sing live on this 2 pat bootleg cd I have. He sounds absolutly off!! I got these cds at Pipeworks market, too. They were cheap! The songs he sung v bad were “Dangerous” and “Knockin’ On Every Door”. He usually sings ’em great, but live..... I reckon Marie steals the show. I dunno if he’s improved live performance now. Does anyone know?
modernatidergt25 said on October 13, 2007 16:26:
hahaha , I dont remember my last comments about any female artist.... many things in my head lately, I think......no worries, I never felt offended about anything ;)

ROXIROX1998 said on October 13, 2007 21:18:
My all time favorite is “Call of the wild”
if you want to hear Per at his best - listen back to this one...
Julz said on October 13, 2007 21:40:
tell me, what do you reckon about Per singin’ live? Do you find he’s pretty crap at times. I love his voice in some songs, but he really stuffs up live! Dunno why? Marie sings great whether live or in a studio.
Roxreporter said on October 14, 2007 11:47:
On some live shows he sounds pretty bad, but on the unplugged gig for example, he sounds great.
I saw them in 2001 in Brussels, and they both sounded great there.
Julz said on October 14, 2007 12:09:
When I saw Roxette live, here in Melbourne, he sounded great, too, but on the bootleg cds I have he has live phobia, I think!! He sounded at his worst!! It was the bootleg of the “Join The Joyride” show.
coyboyusa said on October 14, 2007 14:32:
people might laugh but i have to say per on the breathe demo, there a very earnest and sensitive quality to how he sings that song, it’s intimate which sometimes he has a hrd time pulling off

modernatidergt25 said on October 14, 2007 15:29:
Well I only liked how his voice sounded in his last concerts.... since Mazarin tour.....he really surprised, but I guess it’s because he wasn’t thinking in songs for Marie ( I mean impossible to sing for him) , he was thinking that he would be the singer.
christian said on October 14, 2007 15:39:
Hello roxerI just read all the answers, and what can I say, my favourite song is still not included:
FINGERTIPS´93.
When the single came out, what a great new sound in compare with the album version. Very great sound!!!
Cheers
Christian
kielroxer said on October 14, 2007 16:50:
my favourite one(s): I wish you the best (twatg)
second: party in my head (soap)
third: things will never be the same - his best live performance! (tourism)
Angl_Tht_Rox84 said on October 20, 2007 03:54:
my picks cause its impossible to pick just one:
7twenty7
(I Could Never) Give You Up
The Look
Call of the Wild
and last but not least the rendition of Mr Twilight off the Heartland Cafe album. I love the way the vocals are set up on the track even though its an extra track. I especially love the line when he goes ” twilight oh twilight, I’ve made up my mind and I’ll stay. Oh I see you are dying and slowly fading away...Please Mr Twilight...don’t go away...”
AURYTE said on October 20, 2007 12:59:
I must add to my previous post (almost a year ago hehehe) Om Du Kommer Ihåg and Min Hälsning. Per sounds amazing.
And oh well, I guess, I´m lucky as I´ve never heard Per singing bad :P
