The best thing is Marie’s “Den Ständiga Resan”.

Marie is a member of Roxette, therefore her songs are relavant!

Never thought I’d see the day where I’d be writing about this again. Thought it was behind me, but 2001 just about ended my life. That will be a year that I refer to as: “Too chicken-shit to die, but too poor to become an alcoholic.” The thing about it is: Not one specific Roxette song saved my life. I know that this is what the topic is about, but if I am to be honest about it, then this is the answer that you will receive:

After the break up with my ex (which was devistating to say the least), I discovered that I had no identity. Sure, I have an identity in terms of a name, address, Social Security Number, and so on.... but because of my relationship with my ex, I had no idea WHO I really was. He convinced me to get the job I have now, guided me in terms of decisions about my life and stuff like that.

So when he left, in essence, he took my identity from me. Then, one night, I stumbled upon The X-Files once again. I have no earthly idea what it was that prompted me to start watching again, but I did. I was able to “lose” myself and my problems for an hour during the week (sometimes more, depending on showtimes and stuff for re-runs). I found the realm of Fan Fiction and have been reading steadily for the last year or so.

I have read some Fics that have Roxette lyrics in them: “Salvation”, “Listen To Your Heart”, and a couple of others. Don’t ask me for story names, I don’t remember. I save the ones that I find I tremendously enjoy and call it good. Got a snot load on my hard drive. In the meantime, I’ve picked up several songs with it:
Matchbox 20 - If You’re Gone
Cher - Walking In Memphis (See an episode called “Post Modern Prometheus” for part of this song with a Cher impersonator. Email me if you want to know more)
Three Dog Night - Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog (Thank you Ms. Gillian Anderson for singing that and getting the song stuck in my head on repeat for 3 weeks, almost causing permanent seizures until I downloaded it *lol* You ROCK)

and many more. If I had to pick one... just one that saved my life, it would have to be “Walkaway” by Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice, for those who don’t know. Don’t knock it, it’s a DAMN good song, off the album “Schizophonic”).

So, the long and short of it is, I am still alive, but barely as I am still recovering and trying to figure out who I am now.

Sorry if this isn’t what you were looking for, but I figure honesty is the best way to go in this matter.

you so far away....
and a perfect day
those 2 songs made me to take desicions sometimes...and to understand things.

@Vaxjoe... this is an esy question... I don’t have a particulair song that saved my life. Roxette in general did. I went through very bad times and Roxette was the ONLY bright thing.... of course my family was too but they couldn’t help me...
Anyway each song reminds me of something, even not important things... but still good memories.

Unfortunately I have a Rox song that ruined my life too... it’s not the song’s fault becuase what happend would have happened all the same but maybe a little later.... it’s I don’t want to get hurt. I still love that song but it is so difficult to listen to it without thinking of those days...

good topic

I had the same experinece when i was 15-18 I had
a very tuff time. I hated school, did not have any friends and I was fighting with my parents( who at the time where talking about devorce).

All roxette songs are speciall to me when i feel sad or want to get my mind of somthing and relaxe I always play roxette. Afterward I alwas feel much better. Dont ask me how to explain it (it just works :)

hrrm very hard question but for me it must be un dia sin ti ( spending my time in spaniah as you know) cause this athmn has been terrible the last 3 months.. has been really terrible.. so I just have to put the song on and read the lyrics they are wonderful. or just read them..
