Come back before you leave (Tourism)
with
Lay all your love on me (Abba)
in the verses (not choruses nor bridge nor prechorus).....
vocals and keyboard arrangement (same 4 notes on keyboards).... same feeling.... same style...in that part.
so compare Abba’s since minute 1:32 (second verse after the chorus i think)
and Roxettes minute 0:30....
Obviously it wasn’t a coincidence (i take it more as a “homage” :] )

Gyllene Tider was before Alphaville. When GT ended their song with that big gong sound it was “silly” the critics said. Then when Alphaville did the same a year after it was considered really cool by the same people...

And when talking about similarities I just (yesterday) wrote a song under the music of Marie’s “Antligen”. I don’t know why that song, it just popped up as an idea to put English lyrics on it and it worked!
Someday I may ask her to do that song, but right now I do not have enough money:)

Then they have decided to experiment with themselves and change their gender and language, having executed a song on German! “Japan ist weit” was next hit.

What about “listen to your heart” compared with
“what about love” performed by Heart.
Try to listen to it

try also to listen to “Alone” on the same page

I love Antligen even though I don’t understand a word of it.
Ferdan said on November 24, 2002 03:08:
The demo version of Listen to your heart even has the same keyboard sound than What about love.... well, actually what about love has the same keyboards than LTYH demo (aside from the other similarities)
IV_ROX said on November 24, 2002 06:56:
What about “The Rain” and “Truly, Madly, Deeply” by Savage Garden( again!!!)? If you listen to them mixed from the start to the first verses they sound as one and same song-same beat, same keyboards.
@DaminehGessle: I also love Antligen without getting any word of it, so that’s why I wrote my own lyrics to it :D

Tack, Thomas!
The big question becomes now:
Where did Marie hear that Japanese tune she taught Per, so he used it in “Teaser Japanese”? I don’t believe Alphaville heard Gyllene’s song ;)... So that tune must be something popular...???

I listened to Heart’s “What About Love” and “Alone”, and I must say there are some similarities to the sound of LTYH.
In WAL it almost has same melody as LTYH (if not identical). The accompaniment, the chords and the instruments used are almost the same as well.
In ALONE, the chorus has the same chords (I think) as the LTYH “instrumental” part.
So, I want to know, who copied who? Which songs came out first? or was it just a coincidence?
Pikappa said on November 25, 2002 23:28:
i’m not sure but i think that Heart’s songs were done before....

“Small town” by John Cougar Mellencamp
“Småstad” by Per’s Garage
And what about these titles:
“The first girl on the moon” Roxette.
“The first band on the moon” The Cardigans (1 year after Crash Boom Bang).
Ferdan said on November 28, 2002 22:53:
titles are just titles.. they’re not relevant in most of the cases.

“The first girl on the moon” Roxette.
“The first band on the moon” The Cardigans

What about...:
Satisfaction [Rolling Stones] - Sould Deep [Roxette]
Come Back... [Roxette] - Sleeping in my car [Roxette] - Faller ner pa knä [Gyllene Tider]

“Cooper” (from HAND) and “Where the wild roses grow” by Nick Cage and Kylie Minogue - not the same tune, but the same feeling.
Winterangel said on November 29, 2002 15:37:
OOOPS, and I’ve got the CD in front of me :)))
My face went really red now. Of course it’s Nick Cave, stupid me... :DDDDD
Roxette-atic said on November 29, 2002 15:40:
I Want You ( Savage Garden yes,yet again:)
The Look ( Roxette)
How could SG deny that they copied Rox all the time?
Santi said on November 29, 2002 15:46:
The Centre Of The Heart - Roxette / I Want You - Savage Garden
Twilight-Ghost said on November 29, 2002 15:54:
To Roxette-Attic:
You’re right about the similarities between Roxette’s “The Look” and SG’s “I Want You”. When my friends and I were listening to “The Look” the other day, one of my friend said “hey this sounds like The Look”.
To Everyone:
Has anybody here heard Chris Isaak’s “Somebody’s Crying”, I thought the intro of the song has the same feeling as the intro in Roxette’s “Here Comes the Weekend”.
I’m not saying both intros sounds the same, I’m just saying it has the same feeling.

“”Cooper” (from HAND) and “Where the wild roses grow” by Nick Cage and Kylie Minogue - not the same tune, but the same feeling.”
that’s true, even Per said both songs have things in common or something like that...., or marie, can’t remember
Roxette-atic said on November 30, 2002 00:18:
Santi... i dont think its the same. only the intro synth is the same dont u agree?
Santi said on December 1, 2002 22:23:
No, I think the verse of Savage Garden song and the Chorus of Roxette’s are alike... listen to it carefully
wendy said on December 1, 2002 22:36:
Nick Cage and Kylie Minogue’s song is so much better then Cooper...
can’t find the similarities....
Winterangel said on December 2, 2002 16:41:
I agree... It goes well with the rest of the album (Murder Ballads), it has an atmosphere, a purpose, while Per’s piece is just a song...
Santi said on December 31, 2002 11:58:
“Keep The Radio On [This is the perfect song]” composed by Per Gessle for The Lonely Boys sounds very much like “I’ll follow the sun” by The Beatles, don’t you think?
“Keep the radio on, this is the perfect song” = “But tomorrow may rain so I’ll follow the sun”
Roxeanne said on January 2, 2003 01:24:

ixtlaner said on November 22, 2002 12:46:
And how about the beginnings and the ends of “Teaser Japanese” and Alphavile’s “Big in Japan”? Is it ’just’ a coincidence, or intentionally (a kind of “homage” or just borrowed)...?
