for me this is more a Rox song than a solo Per song(like he use to do in his solo albums),so what do you think of make a new version of this song with Marie´s goddess voice and include it in the next power pop hits lp?????

I’d like to hear it with Marie on backing vocals. The song suits Per really well.
BTW, this song was actually written for a Roxette album, but ended up on Per’s solo album. Great song, one of my favourites!

Yeah i’ve always liked this song as well. Really is a pity it wasn’t on a Roxette album. Would’ve sounded great with Marie in there somewhere!

yeah, should be a rox-song first but as a persong its great, as rox-song it wouldnt be the same

Yea, this song was originally recorded for DBUGTTC. And was then replaced with the sunny June Afternoon as the opening track. Thank God.

It was replaced by SDLHA, not JA. Was written in ’94 and doesn’t match Marie because the lyrics are clearly a boy’s point of view. I love it much more than SDLHA, cool lyrics!

I hate the chorus of the song, to predictive... but the verses are just the bomb!

I may be mistaken but I think this song is on one of the cassettes that appear on the cover of Tourism, so it may have been intended for Roxette in the first place anyway.
One of my fav songs from TWATG.

@rezmad: I can’t check right now, but wasn’t it mentioned as one the new songs Per wrote in summer 94 in the CBB tourbook together with JA? That would mean there’s no way it’s on the cover of Tourism since it didn’t even exist at that time...

Strange, I absolutely can’t find it... all I can find is the cassette from Ocean Way studios with THSS and IMHBL on the front side and four cassettes on the backside (HDYD, The rain, Rox live and one with a couple of songs, but not the one I’m looking for)! Am I blind or are you seeing things? ;-)

no. I want new stuff ;-) (and personally I don’t like it that much)
