If you listen really closely to Roxette’s songs, many times over the course of weeks or months, it becomes impossible to pronounce a single song the “best,” or even have a favorite, because the quality of so many of their pieces is so high. In fact, it’s necessary to take care not to listen TOO much, such that the tunes/lyrics lose their meaning or impact. That prompts curiosity about how the artists themselves regard the work they must perform over and over onstage, working each time to make the song seem fresh and energetic to the audience... do they eventually sicken of their own material? Billy Joel declared he would never again sing “Piano Man.” He admitted he was sick of that great song.

Roxette: Sleeping In My CAr

great memories...I remember seeing the video for the first time on MTV when Simone introduced them saying they’re back...I was like did she say Roxette? Then the video started and I was wondering who is that woman who seemed bald-headed at first...Then the subtitle said Roxette and Sleeping In My Car and the album Crash!Boom!Bang! (which I, at that time, thought was going to be Fireworks - that’s what the Finnish FC had told...)
Anyway, the song is simply brilliant - love the guitars and the guitar-drum thing before the chorus! Fantastically produced!

Per:
Smakar på ett regn...It’s sort of a tearshedder without being a sad ballad.

i reckon their best song has gotta be knockin’ on every door. i love it so much. or (i could never) give you up. those songs are just great

JOYRIDE & IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE.

Uptempo: June Afternoon or Ga & Fiska! or Solken or another “summerish” song. Just love this kind of Per’s songs! :)
Ballad: Listen To Your Heart

Roxette: 1. Crash! Boom! Bang! 2. Spending My Time 3. Beautiful Things 4. She Doesn’t Live Here Anymore 5. I Don’t Want To Get Hurt
Marie Fredriksson: Tro / Per Gessle: Födelsedag / Gyllene Tider: Faller Ner På Knä

Rox: Fireworks, See Me
Per: T-T-T-Take It, I’ll Be Allright
Marie: Don’t know
GT: Don’t Know

Roxette: Fading Like A Flower, Almost Unreal, She Doesn’t Live Here Anymore
Per Gessle: Spegelbol, Varmt Igen

AntiMario... I’m not a big fan of Sweet Thing... Run to Me is fair (sounds way to much like MATAH, tho), but prefer Holiday and Load Clothes... it’s just got that GT sound to it... like Rox in the good ol’ C!B!B! days...

silver blue & the sweet hello the sad goodbye

MF : Antiglen
