The best rox song I´ve heard since a long long time , a master piece now I really think that Roxette can create a no1 again!

This song is just fantastic! Marie’s voice is superb, makes me shiver all the time!! Try listening with headphones!

oh no... i hate it i can’t stand listening to weight of the world! am i the only one who thinks that this song sucks ???

It’s a very good song but I think it feels little too much Marie. I think it would be better if Marie stop by “watch your eyes”. then a intermezzo, then the chours togheter.
But i love the guitar and that piano piece.

It’s a great song. It does not remind me Roxette at all, but sure is a great song =)

It starts out great...but, I don’t think it holds up the whole song....not a bad B-side though. But they’ve done better B-sides!!!
Maries singing reminds me a lot of her earlier solo-recordnings...I am not sure if that is good or bad!

I love it tonz, but don’t consider the song their est ballad. I quite agree with Frodi that Per should have sung a bit more at the end of the song :)

Hey friends. Imagine a cold Winter day under the Christmas tree and in stead of Holy Night playing the Weight of the World. I think this is the best Rox Christmas song, or the best song fitting the Autum weather with its colourful falling leaves.
It’s really nice !
Greetings Dany

for some reason must be the way Marie is singing, it reminds me of Never is a long time.
Btw, the song is not Marie-ish, but 100% Gessle-ish, he wrote music + text...

I must say when I first listened to the song, I thought yes it’s nice.
But when I listened in the evening again to WOTW over headphones....WOW, Marie’s voice!
Fantastic, I was always fascinated by her voice..but the way she’s singing this song tops it all again.
She really has to sing the whole song...:-)

PERfect one again! ;-)
It should be a single... I am so sorry.
First I listened to it with headphones, since then I must listen to it hour by hour! :-)

that’s what I think for the moment:
The song is nice. Sounds a bit like a mix between Better Off On Her Own and See Me. Marie’s voise is really good once again. Per’s one... hmm, good too, but I think he shouldn’t sing that high at times. The song has fine arrangement, but I feel something in the melody is missing. maybe it could be better. but the arrangement makes the half song, it has to be professional, the voices have to be good enough... for that point, all is fine. sound like this is new (and maybe a bit untypical) for Roxette. The whole song is so beautiful, so touching. One of the best b-sides, but I think it isn’t be good enough to make it well for a single. and I like A Thing About You more.

A great song. Marie´s voice is so beautiful. I love it and somtetimes it makes me sad. A fanastic song.

I guess it would never make a hit, but it’s that kind of album-filling songs of Roxette from old times. Like those ones, you think...”but...couldn’t it really be a hit if they made the right promo, if it had radioplay...” It isn’t the most perfect piece of art, but many songs aren’t and we simply love’em. TWOTW is one of them. Excellent. All thumbs up. Since their ’99 return I expect for something like that but better than “It will take a long...” Now, I CAN’T WAIT TO LISTEN TO BREATHE, IT HURTS AND OTHERS...DOES SOMEONE HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHEN IS IT GOING TO COME TO THE RADIOPLAY (BREATHE)???
