Does anyone knows how this song sounds like ? I mean, there are some fans that heard a bit of it in a meeting/promotion thing with Per.
I’m so afraid it’s going to be another crappy dance song. And if so, I would love to know it already, so I won’t get too disappointed, like I was with “The Centre Of The Heart”.
PS: Hoping that “Opportunity Nox” is going to sound like “Sleeping In My Car”... GUITARS PLEASE.

It is coincidental, that I am in Germany over the 3rd of Feb 03!!! So I will actually be able to hear that Song on the Radio!!!! I am lookin forward to it soooo much! As it most likely will never be played here in Ireland...

Great news! But, what’s the hurry?
Please, don’t get me wrong, i’m of course willing to listen to new material. But I really wonder if there’s such a hurry: they released ATAY and The Ballads in September/October, if I remember well, and now, just a few months later, there will be another single and another compilation. To me, this is quite unusual. I wonder if there’s a reason for it.
Who knows... Take care, regards! :)

Marie is the best and still the one.
ROXETTE= MARIE & PER

YES ROXETTEFAN, I also want to see the new video, i anyway hope it will be a great song. I really expect to hear it in Belgium !!!
PerFanatic said on January 16, 2003 22:37:
well, that’s a bit harsh, especially considering Marie’s condition. But, at the core of your example there is an undeniable point. Yes, Per’s song writing is the “source” for the Roxette hit machine. Marie’s voice is also a crucial aspect, and no one could do it as well as her, but if you had to rank the 2, the song writing would have to come first.
And, to the first anonymous, Per does not have a crappy voice...
vivien said on January 17, 2003 15:25:
It would be better if nonone could submit comments anonymously.
It´s terrible that some people writes really evil things without respect for Per and Marie and without their names.
It´s not a brave thing to do at all.....

To paraphrase a modern thinker: “There is no idea, thought, or concept that is offensive to the rational mind.”
I am the one who posted the comment about Per and Marie’s importance to Roxette, as Anonymous.
I took the time to get an account after I posted the message.
I said what I did because it was an honest opinion, not to be hurtful or overly dramatic.
I love Per and Marie for what they have brought to my life, and would never wish harm to either of them.
But Marie’s condition only brings a hard reality home: Human beings are mortal. If the mere thought that Per were to, heaven forbid, die in a plane crash or something, offends you– Yes! It would be a tragedy, but it is not an offense to the senses to consider the ramifications.
If your heart hurts thinking of the day when (not if) you lose a loved one, I understand. It is hard for sensitive people to rationalize those thoughts. But if you don’t want to even face that reality; I suggest society has given us all thin skins.
Lars-Erik: Please be lenient in your editing. Polite controversy only helps us grow. While I realize you and the other editors have a really hard job to do in managing a lot of random junk that gets said here; I gave up on the mailing list years ago and this is the only place left to speak (hopefully) enlightened opinions without fear of having your voice drowned out by idiots. Thank you.

To Vivien:
Hello Vivien, how do you do ?
yes, you’re right, it’s so easy to say sad things without telling your name. I hope Marie will be at her best asap. I look forward to this new song. Maybe it will be a kind of mix of Joyride and Tourism (I do have to tell that this last one was for me one of the best Roxette’s recording). I’m really mad of this album. I anyway hope that they’ll make this song great (and why not in an acoustic way ?)
