Roxette: Real Sugar
And if K’s Choice capture exactly the magnificence I aspire to when I’m sad, Roxette encapsulates what I mean by joy. They don’t seem to have produced much extra material during the Room Service sessions, though, so the singles are left to make do with alternate versions, remixes and CD-ROM videos. This one includes a “Modern Rock” version of the Have a Nice Day album track “It Will Take a Long Long Time”, which doesn’t seem especially modern or rock to me, but sure is pretty, and Shooting Star’s maniacally twittering techno remix of “Real Sugar” itself, which is kind of a peppy dance track and its own chill-out correlate fused cleverly into one. The video here is actually the one for “The Centre of the Heart”, and although I rarely like music videos, and even more rarely like music videos that consist mainly of a faked performance, this one I find unexpectedly enchanting. The performance sequences are endearingly goofy (both keyboardists are playing Eighties-style guitar-strapped synths, and Marie is just funny to watch, period), but the inspired touch is intercutting them with nearly-motionless scenes of various people watching the resulting video at home. They all appear to have been interrupted in the middle of something, some of them in the middle of intimate somethings (there’s nothing that explicitly mandates an R rating, but I think American MTV would balk at several bits, particularly a brief glimpse, right at the end, of one of the watching couples resuming an interesting bedroom variation on miniature golf). Most brilliantly, none of them are dancing. It’s a propulsive dance song, and the video cast is attractive, and I feel certain that it would not even have occurred to an American director that they could be doing anything but dancing, alluringly, and thus joining the effort to sell the song. But instead, they are just standing, or sitting, or lying on beds, quietly watching the video. It’s so beautiful it almost makes me cry. This is what the entire pop industry misunderstands. A great song doesn’t have to, or even usually, make me want to buy cola, or run out into the street and join a synchronized dance or a revolution, it makes me want to shut up and listen. Just as with a great book, or a great movie, a great song can make me want to pause my own life, temporarily, and spend just a few moments in somebody else’s.

Roxette: Milk and Toast and Honey
The single for “Milk and Toast and Honey” is just four versions of the one song. The single version, the first one, isn’t different enough from the album version for me to care about puzzling out the details, but the second and third, remixed by Active Music Production and Shooting Star, are quite obvious. I don’t think either of them are among the better Roxette remixes, probably because the original song is so far from a dance track that making it into one, at least expediently, requires a lot of holes to be filled in with techno clichés. This video, courageous in another way, takes a song about waking up alone and relaxed on a peaceful weekend morning, and sets it to a video of Marie waking up alone and relaxed on a peaceful weekend morning. She gets up, she makes breakfast, she walks down to the ocean, she sings to herself bits of her song about waking up alone and relaxed on a peaceful weekend morning. Except for the token shots of Per playing a piano on a lawn, it’s one of the rare lip-sync videos in which I believe the person pictured might actually have been singing the song aloud even if the cameras weren’t there.
