Hey out there! Did anybody of you hear the demo of “Bad Moon”??? I believe that this song would be a perfect first single of a possible new album... what do you think? It sound so roxettish with the guitar in the background, Maries great voice and the wonderfull chorus... unbelieveable !!!

hmm... it would be a great Marie song... but not Roxette.

IMO all those english Marie´s demos would be great Roxette tracks/singles.
Big pitty they weren´t used... >:(

“Bad moon”, “Do you wanna go with me” or “New world” could have been released on the Pop Hits E.P. at least...

Those three are my favorites of those English demos.: Bad Moon & New World & Do You Wanna Go With Me?

I also have mp3s of Always The Last To Know—which I like better as Det Som Var Nu—and Beautiful Things, which I like better on HAND. So at least one was used as for Roxette. . .

There is a reason these songs weren’t released by Roxette. And I think that reason is that they aren’t Roxette songs. I like a few of them, but I could never hear Roxette play them.

I think Marie should release them solo, would be a waste to find them on a Rox album!

Grasi said on November 14, 2003 15:50:

Well, I think Marie composed them and they didn´t become Roxette songs because they were rejected (by...??)

At HAND time, Per commented Marie was writing a lot in english, and they chose “Waiting for the rain” and “Beautiful things” for Roxette.

So, the other songs could have been recorded by Roxette with no problem...

I agree they sound different... as well as “Stars”, “7twenty7”, “Crush on you” or even “Anyone”... Doing a different thing is what they wanted ;)

per translated always the last to know for marie and i think they said she was gonna put it on room service? but per didin’t liek the way it sounded or something in ther end i think its per that kept alot of marie jems away from roxette...which maybe is a good thing who knows

besides if she does an album in english at this point i don’t think she’s well enough to do the demanding promotion a multi national english album would demand
