Stupid question:
What does “opportunity nox” mean?
I only know the word “noxious”. I can’t find the word in any dictionary.
Roxettefan79 said on December 18, 2002 17:07:
On roxetteforum.com DTR24 says that it is latin. So “nox” would mean “night”.
Opportunity night? What do you think about it?
boykie19 said on December 18, 2002 17:12:
lol the official site says Nox... so why would it be sumthing else? its obviously short for knocks lol!!

it means that there’s an opportunity knocking (on someone’s door), you just have to open ;-)

starrox >> i think you are right.... i think it’s just a shorter version for knocks....

to make the title look a little bit cooler and make the young people to roxette fans

YOu guys are reading in to the title. Its just letter-play like KIX
sonofagun said on December 19, 2002 02:32:

@ daniel_alv
to make younge...
oh wait, i bet that’s exactly what they were thinking! :-(

VERY cool title... I just hope that the song is also great. When I first heard the title “The Centre Of The Heart (Is A Suburb To The Brain)” I LOVED it, but the song turns out to be very bad (at least for me).
Anyway... can’t wait to hear “Opportunity Nox” !!!
RoxieFox said on December 19, 2002 08:40:
The title sounds great, but I disagree with what you said about The centre of the heart. when I first heard that song, my reaction was: wow!
I loved it from the beginning til end.
San_Tales said on December 19, 2002 12:15:
The song is sung by Per with backing vocals by Marie.
Adding .. and it sounds pretty good to me.
daniel_alv said on December 19, 2002 12:29:
i read somewhere that it’s like TCOTH, Per sings and marie sings in the background
ncurran said on December 19, 2002 12:42:
you are right...it means that a new opportunity arises....;.also it was the name of a tacky TV show in the UK in the ’80s. It was like a talent show where different members of the public performed and a winner was voted for. Don’t know if thats where the idea for the title came from though
Roxoholic said on December 19, 2002 15:15:
Just wanna say that I love the title. This song sounds really cool. I hope it´s like The centre of the heart, only Per sings the verses and Marie sings the chorus. Can´t wait until February.
ixtlaner said on December 19, 2002 15:52:
Opportunity knocks tonight ;)
@ San_Tales : what do you think “nox” should mean??
SuiraM said on December 19, 2002 18:03:
Actually for those who did‘nt know: Opportunity Nox is an expression. Like you have the chance/opportunity right here,right now. The opportunity is waiting for you!
boykie19 said on December 19, 2002 21:23:
anyways who cares about the title of the song... its the music which counts :)
LoneGunman said on December 19, 2002 21:39:
@San Tales - Hi... since you’ve already heard the song, could you please tell us if “Opportunity Nox” is more like “Sleeping In My Car” or more like “The Centre Of The Heart” ? Guitars or Synths ? This doubt is killing me !!
Thanks
All the best
