I really love the song, cos its so typical roxette. And it sounds very “new” to me. Great to sing along also.
But will it be a hit...? I do not think so.
But it is still a very, very nice song!

Why should charts be so important in order to judge a song? Look at the crapp that the UK buys to be on the top 10 ....it makes me feel glad Roxette are no longer there...
The Uk chart has never been very respectable musicallywise...it all about money making pop craps and making fun of everyone who tries to do some decent music there... i prefer to see Roxette out of that jungle of hipocrits....
I love the song...anyway and that’s all that matters to me as always...

There is so much crap in the UK chart and we all know that this is all auctioned but it would be nice for other people to be able to enjoy their stuff in this country, most of the younger audience would love them given the chance, but they won’t even get the chance through acts like the boyband /girlband thing.

I’m not glad Roxette aren’t here! I’d love to show ppls what real music is! Yea its a great song but ppls won’t get the chance to listen to it coz they’re dictated to by record companies who crave money and unfortunately Rox don’t make the money for EMI Chrysalis, Robbie and Kylie do that for them and thats why theyre’sinking without trace coz they rely on a limited market.
I love Rox to pieces and I wish they were number one every week but they ain’t ever going to be number 1 here and I find that very sad!

At least keep enjoying Roxette for yourself...it won’t make you good keep thinking that way...what a UK chart system si bigger than you so if they don’t give no one good music keep that music for you and feel glad about that
I do that as well cause almost no one cares about Roxette here as well...it general almost so ...
keep your love for Roxette and don’t let that sadness overshadow you all UK fans....
And i am being trully honest when i say this cause i fell it as well....

I’m not quite sure, if the song will reach the charts!
I really do hope so!
I’m rather sure, that this song would have been a top10 song, it it had been sung by a young innovative female girlie - just because of Roxette’s “old” image.
I let my brothers listen to ATAY, and they all told me, that it’s a gr8 song, but .. (that big “but” - you know) ... it’s Roxette.
I know, what they mean, though I don’t agree to it ;)

I haven’t given a damn about the UK charts for about 8 years now....I just give a damn about Roxette and my worry is that they’ll see their sales bad here ( not their fault) and bad in the US (not their fault either) and bad in other countries and think....ok thats it (yes I know it will happen eventualy) I persoanly would love to see them carry on for however long they want to and if good record sales helps that then that would be great......I personaly don’t give a damn if ppls take the piss out of me for liking them coz to me ...those ppls are the ones missing out on good music. :P ;) if you see what I mean ;) I’m not down......just bloody annoyed ;) and I expect the Usa ppls feel the same ;)

that’s the way to go Vixter...it’s thoughts like that make me belive in my passuion for Roxette even if the whole world doesn’t like them....
Vixzter said on September 9, 2002 18:43:
exactly.....sod the rest of the world....its not our fault they have no taste ;)

;)))
Yeah, you’re right! Poor ppl who have a bad taste in music. Their days will never be as sunny as today has been for me :)
Vixzter said on September 9, 2002 18:49:
Yea.....its been a damn fine Monday! ;) for a change.... maybe not for those poor sods who don’t know ....but for us in our little world its been kewl >:)

if they split up just for sales number... well... we can gather it was all a fake.... no love for making music with Roxette....
But if were another reason.... well.. it’s ok.
so hit or not i don’t care........ i´d love it to be a hit anyway :)
Heart_2002 said on September 9, 2002 21:32:
Almost 20 years of fakeness?????????
I don’t think so....if you do music for money only you don’t last more than a year or two ....
and we know that Per and Marie have been behind this for a very long time....if they wanted the money they would have stopped in 95 after DBGTC and then? they went on...even if the albums are less good they continued because they love doing music no matter what ....
Ferdan said on September 9, 2002 22:04:
i´m not saying they would not love making music.... just making music with Roxette... and only if they split up just for a few sales numbers
And...... a fake since HAND or Baladas...

i stopped worring about the charts...they’ve proven they can still hit high in them but they r more about making music we liek and this song is prooof
Vixzter said on September 9, 2002 17:18:
exactly! I’d just so loved to be proved wrong though...... >:) top 10 in the UK?? not very likely to happen ;) top 40 LOL still not very likely to happen ;)
Its catchy though :) I love the lyrix :)
