Hmmm, seems russian rox-site has already put a whole single on internet - both songs and a video
http://roxette.median.ru
Wish that won’t affect sales..
btw - TWotW sucks!

do you know any uk shops that i can buy any roxette albums or cds from? i have only began listening to roxette again recently and have missed a few years! my dad thinks im mad, but there we go. Can i buy t-shirts from anywhere?
Vixzter said on October 14, 2002 19:53:
now....the dilema......do i download it....or wait til my single arrives later in the week then i have something to look forward to ;) i’m sure i’ll be weak minded and download it.....but so far i’ve resisted!
Vixzter said on October 14, 2002 19:55:
@zaine : see the topic that says “ATAY in the UK LOL” thats might help clear a few things up.
I just spun a coin to decide.....heads I download......tails I wait......it came up tails LOL.....now......do i take any notice of that? ;)
zaine said on October 14, 2002 20:05:
lol, confusing but yeh. im 15 and only just got back into roxette because i heard them on totp2. I used to listen to them all the time as a kid (thanks dad) and have been listening to them all week. my fave song is either Joyride, big L, or church of your heart. I think they should get more airplay over here cos i would have been listening to them a lot if they did. took my dads joyride album to school today in my walkman and loads of my friends took the micky. they’re all into grunger stuff and roxette is more old school. however, when i didn’t tell them who the band were they didn’t laugh. they began to mosh along to it. when i did tell them it was roxette they said ’who?’ Just shows roxette could be bigger than they already are!
Jud (moderator) said on October 14, 2002 20:07:

Words + music: PG
Acc. guitar: PG
Bass guitar: CHristoffer L.
Synth: Clarence and shooting star
Piano: Clarence
Vocals: PG & MF (That was difficult ;))
Vixzter said on October 14, 2002 20:10:
@zaine - you need to get some more albums too! Tourism, Crash! Boom! Bang!, Don’t Bore Us, Have A Nice Day, Room Service are highly recomended by me .....see if you’re dad has got them and then steal them all! ;)
zaine said on October 14, 2002 20:12:
ive nicked all the ones he has got...
joyride,
crash boom bang,
tourism,
and look sharp.
joyride is my fave by far. more runky than the others but theyre ok. where can i get past albums from in the uk???
Vixzter said on October 14, 2002 20:15:
@zaine - try you’re local HMV ( i belive they have a sale on at the mo) they should have most of the albums .....you definatley need to get Crash! Boom! Bang! if you’re into the more rocky stuff
Anyway.....I’ve not taken any notice of my coin spinning thing......and now I’m downloading TWOTW.....damn.....i have no will power!
Vixzter said on October 14, 2002 20:19:
Damn....this site keeps re-setting itself.....must be too many ppls doing what i’m doing ;)
zaine said on October 14, 2002 20:25:
if you download it, YOU MUST STILL BUY IT! ALWAYS BUY THE RECORD!
Vixzter said on October 14, 2002 20:27:
i have the single(s) already on its way from Sweden......and I’ll be buying 10 (atleast) copies IF it gets released in the UK.
Vixzter said on October 14, 2002 20:39:
OK......so now I’ve got it.........I’ll go listen......and the maybe I’ll be back with my opinion ;) maybe!
LoneGunman said on October 14, 2002 21:02:
I like it !!! It’s not the GREATEST BALLAD EVER, but it’s ok. Marie’s voice sounds SO soft and beautiful... very very very nice !!! :)
Can’t wait to get the single in my hands !!!
All the best

wendy said on October 14, 2002 21:19:
Well,it’s not that bad like i thought when i’ve heard the snippet,but,it’s not that good either....
Vixzter said on October 14, 2002 21:30:
its a b-side what do you expect??? Listen To Your Heart?? ;) I sometimes think ppls expect too much of Roxette.
I wait for ppls who criticise to make something better!!! now theres a challenge ;)
Jud (moderator) said on October 14, 2002 22:00:
amazingly ;) this is the first Rox song in a looong time that has made me shiver + cry!
Simply love it
steven said on October 14, 2002 22:04:
Just downloaded the full track...
Sadly, not Per’s greatest work, but nice nevertheless...
Will still buy the single... just because it’s Roxette
wendy said on October 14, 2002 22:08:
hey vix.....i’m so sorry,it’s a matter of taste,not of exepting too much,or critisice everything.....
c’mon,i’m just myself,and i have my opinion.....
:(
and that challenge,why not :p
kibkalo said on October 14, 2002 22:33:
zaine, if you have problems with getting some rare albums, contact me for help.
I mean Pearls of Passion, Dance Passion, Rarities, not Tourism and Room Service of course...
Mfan28179-Jason said on October 15, 2002 03:03:
I like it. The arrangement is very nice. The music is beautiful. It’s more so of a laid back, simple track - somewhat of a cross between “Better Off On Her Own” and “See Me.”
bunny said on October 15, 2002 04:46:
i wouldn’t go that far to say it sucks. it’s got some nice piano in the background. the song itself is OK, it feels like they just quickly put it together, not that great of a production.
AntiMario said on October 15, 2002 05:20:
Disappointent #2 of the week.. (after “Folja En Stjarna”). Yep, looks like Per writes also bad trax..
Vixzter said on October 15, 2002 05:33:
@wendy - my comment wasn’t just aimed at you.....I had been reading other posts where ppls are saying it sux. ’Dilema’ by Nelly and Kelly sux (see UK charts for details) ;)
Katuska said on October 15, 2002 09:27:
I love it! Even better than ATAY! :-)
It’s not that tipical Rox-sounding, but very good! Marie’s voice is fantastic as always.
daniel_alv said on October 15, 2002 10:30:
Why don’t people like WOTW, it’s the best b-side for a long time...
better then entering your heart and see me...
QuaKeD said on October 15, 2002 13:56:
I think Marie’s voice on this song is just as sweet as can be. I love it... I like it so much it hurts
Pikappa said on October 17, 2002 21:09:
it sounds a bit like entering your hearth style
I think it would be a better song with some more work on it....anyway i like it...
daniel_alv said on October 17, 2002 23:40:
finally got the single!!! It’s just great... a very nice cover... i love it.... åkerlunds best work....
Salvation7-20-7 said on October 18, 2002 04:46:
It’s a pretty song. Nice and mellow music. However, I have to say that Marie’s vocals are much better than Per’s. Something just doesn’t mesh with his part. But overall, I would say it’s still a good song.
daniel_alv said on October 14, 2002 18:44:
i just downloaded it, it’s great....
but i’ll still buy the single.... as soon as possible....
