1. Do you guys know if Per has ever dedicated a song to Marie? I mean of course he writes songs for her to sing, but did he ever wrote ABOUT her or FOR her?
If yes, what these songs should be?

2. When are we going to see on music channels the new ON video?

Love ya!

He dedicated a song for Marie (but the telefonist of EMI Svenska) changing the lyrics into Swedish of a song called “Switchboard Susan” that came to be called “Marie i växeln”.

He has another song for another Marie called “Marie, Marie” but I don’t really know which Marie he refers... Anyway, there are so many Marie’s in the world :O

I don’t think that “Marie i växeln” is to MF. Cuz in the booklet of “Moderna tider” where they thanks different ppl someone called >>Marie i växeln

@frodi: I said “Marie the telefonist of EMI Svenska” :D That’s not MF. ;)

I can only think of one song and that is
“I’ll be Alright” from the world according to gessle

this song always make me think that Per wrote it to/for Marie.

Anyone agree???

@Santi: oops, sorry

Parre said on February 13, 2003 21:01:

@ marre i thought he wrote it for Åsa ??
but maybe im wrong

I also think that “I’ll be alright” is for his wife...I mean the whole album seems to be dedicated to her...
How about “The Heart Shaped Sea”?... Or “Things Will Never Be...” or “What’s She Like?”...

We should ask Per himself (-:

Max-Tob said on February 14, 2003 08:55:

Yeah!...
He never tells anything from those things that are not supposed to be said...And he’s right...(I think)

Max-Tob said on February 14, 2003 11:48:

Yes, I thought about it too...since the very first time when I’ve heard the song

marre said on February 14, 2003 17:48:

“I’ll be Alright” is the only song Marie sings
on that album I belive.

It mayby is for both Åsa and Marie ;)

Santi said on February 14, 2003 20:41:

The booklet says the whole album is for Woody. Woody = Åsa.

marre said on February 14, 2003 21:05:

Me having wishful thinking “song is for Marie”

realising it’s for woddy muuhaaa ;)

Roxeanne said on February 15, 2003 13:25:

I’ll be alright is to me :D. You guys forgot heehee.
I love this song. Actually I used to listen to it non-stop for months and cry with it. I even wrote it in the card I gave the guy I loved 2 years ago. It’s the best!
