Roxette World Tour 2011 schedule

Monday morning premiere for “A Thing About You”

Written by daniel_alv on September 9, 2002 to .

STOCKHOLM - Fans around the world with access to the Internet will be able to hear Roxette’s new single, “A Thing About You” on Monday morning. Swedish radio station MixMegapol plans to premiere the song around 8 a.m. and will probably replay the song several times throughout the day. Over the weekend, they ran spots mentioning the premiere. Other Swedish pop music stations are also expected to air and webcast the song on Monday.

  Given that the Swedish tabloid newspaper Aftonbladet has already run an article about the making of the video for ATAY, it is possible that we’ll see additional coverage on their site as well (as has happened with Roxette’s single/video releases in the past).

  Meanwhile, the Netherlands-based Official Roxette Fanclub has posted a 30-second clip from the song on their site.

I have never used radio on Internet. Can anyone please help me? secondly.. how can I find the time difference of Pakistan and Sweden? What will be the time in Pakistan when it is 8:00am in Sweden?
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

8 am is for Sweden, Pakinstan should be some hours later, I think for Moskow it is at 10am, and for Pakistan should be at 12.00.

you have to go to their site and on the upper part of the screen u will see a “lyssna live” button, click there :)

daniel_alv said on :

I can tell you this... Sweden has UTC+1... we are one hour before london.... so when it is 8 here it is 7 in London....

@zeeshan it’s easy zeeshan - take a map and do it by yourself, each 15 degrees is one hour ahead from hour which is in stockholm.
how lucky you are, all who have full access to the net. i can only see text, no picture without even mentioning hearing of the radio via internet.

The least thing you can say is that it’s ’different’.

well what´s wrong when sb expresses his/her feelings? the ones who don´t like the song have as much right as the ones who like it to express what they think. RESPECT others opinions, that is it.

Superbullie said on :

Thank you PietRoxette for offering the song!
It’s Roxette how I like them! I don’t think it’s gonna be a big hit, but it will probably reach the German Top 40

daniel_alv said on :

this mix megapol wrote about the song on their site today:

Hämde i morse:

Världspremiär på Roxettes nya singel hos oss i morse - å vilken låt sen! Det är ingen högoddsare att detta blir en monsterhit!

Happend this morning:

Worldpremier for Roxette’s new single - and what a song! not high odds for this to be a monsterhit!

Very Great!!!!!!

Katuska said on :

Cannot stop listening to this song:-))) I’m in love with it!

Maciek said on :

Here are some my tohughts about ATAY:
I thought it would be more calm. I dreamed about slow ballad only with cello and acoustic guitar, but... I’m disappointed in good way. I love that song. It’s been long time since Mr Gessle did something like that. However it reminds me of few songs from Room Service but who cares I LOVE ROXETTE. By the way:
1.Is there any chance to see ATAY single cover?
2.When & where will be video premier

It reminds me of ’Bringing Me Down To My Knees”.

vector said on :

I’m looking for the lyrics of this song. Can you help me, please? Thanx.

Roxboy_Belgium said on :

Hm...
don’t really know what to say.

It’s a nice song, but not a big big hit. Now. Maybe after hearing it sometimes...

Just listening the song... wait... a fantastic song! Just different.

Beautiful bridge!!

keep on roxing!

Mads_W_S said on :

I feel very ambivalent here. To take the best parts first: It’s beautifully arranged and has got a classy sound to it. The vocals, the sound of the phone, the drums (at the second verse), the strings. CLASSY.

But I must admit the composition is somehow standard, considering the “safe” and typical chord changes (like “Milk and taste and honey”). “A thing about you” is therefore NOT surprising songwriting. It kind of follows a strict form...

But in the end - it’s a pretty little tune. I got a crush on a girl these days, and this will definitely make me fall in love. It’s a lovesong. It’s sweet, but will not make it on the charts. Then Per Gessle would have to improve his songwriting skills a little more - step out of the safe chord structure and surprise us... cause the sound and arrangement on this one are almost perfect :))

But I got to mention: The lovely last seconds building up to the chorus! Brilliant...!! I’m really looking forward to listen to this on CD...

CRIZ said on :

PER!!! MARIE!!!! TACK SÅ MYCKET!!!!!!
GREAT SONG!!!!
you can relax again.....seems that we all love it! :)

King_of_Rain said on :

Hey...first I thought...”Oh, what’s that?”, but now I love this song. Maybe the reason is that if I haven’t had any new Rox material for a long time, it takes some time to get used to a new song. This is one example...

Per, you are really excellent!

Regards

Ronny

zeeshan said on :

Ok so I heared the song and my first reaction was: aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it has a bit of touch of RUN TO YOU, I want You to know and It doesn’t take you no time to get here. But that is good!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELL DONE ROXETTE and to all those guys and gals who were after Per’s ass telling us that he can’t sing or sustain his voice on HIGHT NOTE.... BUGG OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roxette Wins!!!!!! (like some of us TRUE FANS thought)

this song it so cool! I have loved Roxette since Look Sharp! and have enjoyed their work especially since Tourism. I love the “warmth and heart” that is added to their songs with the help of the strings.....ahh the strings.......now hopefully I will be able to support Roxette by getting the single here in Canada. Fabulous vocals Per!!! Way to go Per and Marie........another beautiful song to listen to endlessly. My list of favourite songs just keeps growing......

Me too, I have been a fan for 12 years and love them to bits...they just need a good marketing strategy here in the UK to get past the sick covers and pop idols that are currently dominating the airwaves!!

Saluti a tutti,
BigRoxfan
