I thought I was gonna start a discussion about the song Spending my time. Do you really think it’s good. Because I don’t really like it at all. If I should rate I will give it maybe 3/10. What do you all think of my oppinion. Reply please - cuz sometime it seems that it’s many favourite and it would be fun to see what other rox-fan thinks.

C’ ya’ all!

For me it’s a great song, but i don’t see why it would be bad that you don’t like it..... that’s ok with me. It’s a shame you can’t enjoy it :)))

one of the best ballads ever written by anyone
some of roxette’s best lyrics too.
“i leave a kiss on ur answering machine ...”

Bunny, Ferdan, absolutely agree with you...
It’s a great song!

“What’s the time?
Seems it’s already morning.
I see the sky,
It’s so beautiful and blue.
The TV’s on
But the only thing showing
Is a picture of you..”

..one year ago, every day , i wake up with this great song....

yeah love this song!

I also think that it has some of the best lyrics Per has written.

Yeah, just agree with all of you!!! Love this song!!! :) Espcially the accoustic live version of the C!B!B! and the RS - tours! It makes the song even deeper!!!!

Hej alla!

I really like SMT! It’s a great song: great lyrics, great music and a wonderful video (with special effects etc.)
Love it when Marie plays it life, only by herself on the piano. WOW! Also love the version they played during their RS-tour.

CU,
MC

i especially like the ’electric dance remix’. unfortunately there’s no ’electric dance remix’ of ’un día sin tí’.

¿que hora es? bienvendia la mañana. tan sola yo y el cielo tan azul. en mi café, en mi radio y en mi téle siempre estas tú...

I really like the song! It was so amazing to hear the accoustic versions in the shows!!!

@frodi:

“hoping that YOU IS missing me too...”

=)

What’s wrong with you Frodi?

It’s a cool song.

Viking said on March 9, 2002 05:43:

I like it too, it’s BEST Live ! Just M.F. on the piano, what do we need more? :o)

gesslefan_no1 said on March 9, 2002 06:44:

oh, this great song is one of the best ever...especially the lyrics just goes right into my heart.

arnie said on March 9, 2002 17:45:

This is the most beautiful song ever written...
That’s what I think...

spookymeg said on March 10, 2002 05:02:

One of their best ballads and a GREAT song. Good melody and fantastic lyrics. My God, only Per could write something like “This silly game of love: you play, you win only to loose”.
I’ve always liked SMT and hearing it live during the RS Tour was the greatest thing of all.

frodi said on March 10, 2002 10:54:

Hey hey folks, take it easy. Don’t paint me up like a non rox-fan or something. Cuz I am, I sure am. What I talk is about is that it isn’t THAT great.

I’m sure that the demo can be very good - some of the demos (like Anyone, MATAH and CBBYL) are much better than the complete song - the live edit with only Marie and a piano can also be something. Can someone please tell me were I can find it? I know about pearls of roxette and roxbytes.

C’ ’ya round!

roxtexanet said on March 10, 2002 13:52:

The word that comes to mind when I think about this song is ’majestic.’ I think I’m going to have to go and listen to it right now! (:

@frodi: My friend Jen, another massive Rox fan, also hates this song so you’re not the only one!

frodi said on March 17, 2002 04:57:

@ roxtexanet: Oh, I’m glad thst I’m not alone! It was a part of this why I started this discussion - to see what replies I get, if other fans thinks like me.

C’ ya’!

Majdy said on March 28, 2002 08:48:

I love the lyrics and the music. I wish Roxette would make a song like this....

Yashar said on March 28, 2002 08:58:

This song is one of my top 10.
I think you must go and listen to its lyrics completely.
How can’t you deny the beauty of the lyrics?
And about its music:
It’s better to listen to it when you are tired of everything,and you don’t know what to do.
It will be impressive.
Of course, don’t tell yourself:”I hate this song”
Just listen.
It wil be good for you.
I’m sure.
