Roxette Covers

Name one song you think Roxette would do a great job covering...

“You were meant for me” by Jewel.

En kvinna och en man by Niklas Strömstedt, becuase it was accually written for Roxette but per didn’t want it (atleast the CD-cover sais so)

billy, m, pornografi, rembrandt by GT... the first songs released... let’s see what Per and Marie could make of those some 25 years later... in english. nice subject for all those critics stating Roxette have a too soft image

alannah myles, ’our world ,our times’. so could see them doing that song.

WOW! “En kvinna och en man” is fantastic! Would be nice to hear it sang by Roxette!

If there ever were another ABBA tribute album I would like Roxette to cover “The Way Old Friends Do”. It’s such a beautiful and understated song, and sums up Per and Marie wonderfully. :-)

” Tie your mother down ” by Queen would perfectly suit Issacson‘s style and would work with marie‘s voice and performans.

“Alone” by Heart

Cradle of Filth - Suicide and other comforts :-)

“Turn back time” of Aqua.

They already covered “Alone” by Heart...
Only they changed the lyrics to “Listen to your heart”...
just kidding...

Prodigy’s ’Firestarter’. he he he .... Actually, I’d quite like a cover of the Human League’s ’Don’t You Want Me’

yesterday once more
acrros the universe
losing my religion
i started a joke
i will survive
... that;s all I can think of right now...

Hade varit kul o höra en version av Aretha Franklins “Survive”

It would be fun if Roxette make a vesion of Aretha Franklins “Survive”...

At first I was afraid.
I was petrified.
I kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you´d did me wrong.
I grew strong.
I learned how to get along.
And so you´re back from outer space.
I just walked in to find you here
Without that look upon your face.
I should have changed that stupid lock.
I should have made you leave your key
If I´d have known for just one second
You´d be back to bother me.

Oh now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
´Cause you´re not welcome anymore.
Weren´t you the one
Who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I´d crumble?
Did you think I´d lay down and die?
Oh not I.

I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know I´ll be alive.
I´ve got all my life to live.
I´ve got all my love to give.
And I will survive.
I will survive.
Hey hey!

It took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart.
I´m trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart.
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry.
But now I hold my head up high.

And you´ll see me somebody new.
I´m not that chained up little person
Still in love with you.
And so you felt like dropping in,
And you just expect me to be free.
But now I´m saving all my lovin´
For someone who´s lovin´ me.

Go now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
You´re not welcome anymore.
Weren´t you the one
Who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I´d crumble?
Did you think I´d lay down and die?
Oh not I.

I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know I´ll be alive.
I´ve got all my life to live.
I´ve got all my love to give.
I will survive.
I will survive

The Smashing Pumpkin’s “Crestfallen” would sound great with Maries voice.

I think Per would like to make a cover of a Tom petty song and I think ” You don’t know how it feels” would be great, by the way, The ABBA cover I think it’d be AMAZING! and also they could do “Summernight City”

@s-czopek: Or maybe “What about love” by Heart is more alike... ;)

I think Roxette could do a great version of the song “Obsession” that was originally done by Animotion.

You’re right Susi.

Are you kidding me? Roxette cannot do Queen songs. Queen songs are very hard to do. Can’t you remember Freddie Mercury’s Tribute concert where everyone messed up just cause Queen songs are very hard to play and sing?? I’m a fanatic Queen fan so I know Roxette can’t do Queen :).

None.

I HATE covers.
I hope Roxette will stay original and will never make a cover.
