YOU ARE THE QUEEN MARIE!!!!!!!

7-Twenty-7 said on August 28, 2008 21:01:

I think she’d be more proud being recognized as a good singer than as a ’queen’. A queen can be anything, even a drag-queen...

This kind of queen/diva stuff freaks me out.

roxtexanet said on August 28, 2008 21:57:

Holy shit! I didn’t see that coming. Beautiful song, but to debut in the same week as Metallica - and beat them out - is pretty impressive!

rox-kuryliw said on August 28, 2008 22:18:

Im pleased. I love her this song and her voice with it. Im so happy in on itunes lol.

fridapeeples said on August 29, 2008 02:23:

The melody of this song is so strong and beautiful. I have had it in my head for the past week (even after hearing it only a couple of times)

Congratulations Marie!

CONGRATS Marie!!!

I just knew that this song would do great. Great movie - great song. Let’s hope it will stay on nr. 1 for a little while....

Seems I was wrong when I thought this song was going to flop! Must admit, it’s grown on my a lot over the last week or so!

Great stuff for Marie!

Congrats!

Lennon said on August 29, 2008 08:50:

But there is no “physical” single to buy, is it?
So it’s only the download-clicks that made it rise?
Not bad!

Hey! :D
Inte illa! Riktigt fräsigt, nu är jag stolt. Låten är underbar, förstås.
Heja!

Absolutely extremely cooooool!!!!!!! Wow!! Congratulations! Wow!! LOL...cool...*jump*

ncurran said on August 29, 2008 14:33:

Great news, which reminds me i need to order my copy! Does anyone know why the single hasnt been released through EMI? Is she not under contract to them anymore?

Parlophone said on August 29, 2008 15:35:

I think it’s released by Bonnier because they have the rights for that song and are also releasing the whole soundtrack of “Arn - Riket vid vägens slut”. So therefore the release has nothing to do with any EMI contracts that Marie might or might not have. That would be my explanation.

PolicarpoAroca said on August 29, 2008 16:45:

There is also available the official video-clip for the song at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKI6MeQ2SQM

And also a tv-report about the song, in which you can see Marie with Niklas, one of the composers of the song. By the way, I must admit Marie looks wonderful...this is when she appears healthier for me:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjBGLQJhywg&NR=1

I would like to recall a big Roxette fan who died in the tragic aeroplane accident in Barajas Madrid. He was Jorge Sangrador. He always loved Marie and Roxette. And I´m sure he would keep listening to them wherever he´s also now. RIP.

roxboy2006 said on August 29, 2008 19:23:

WoW, it´s great to see and hear that MARIE´s getting NUMBER ONE in SWEDEN.

-CONGRATULATION from Germany, love this song and MARIE´s Voice, hope Roxette ist comin back soon, we ALL hope. ;-)

alexandru. said on August 30, 2008 18:02:

I am so proud that Marie’s voice is finally recognized as No.1.Does this chart indicate the sales figures or is it a vote? I hope sales, because I have ordered 5 copies of my own.

tevensso (moderator) said on August 30, 2008 20:50:

Sales of course.

crashroxer said on August 30, 2008 21:15:

Yes...that’s really great!! And it IS a great song ;-)

From http://www.hitlistan.se/netdata/ghl002.mbr/newchart2006

Den 26:e september 2006 publicerades den sista separata listan för digitalt nedladdade singlar (Download) och den 5 oktober 2006 publicerades den första sammanslagna singellistan. Den nya singellistan är baserad på försäljning av singlar på CD-skiva, Internet och via mobilen och den behåller namnet Veckolista Singlar.

It basically says that since 2006 the singles chart in Sweden is based on sales & downloads.

Just came home from the theater, and I have to say Marie’s song is the best part of the movie... :P

regn said on August 31, 2008 21:20:

ouch !

Well that’s Cool!

Have Fun!!!

Maik said on September 1, 2008 13:06:

I remember a movie called “Super Mario Bros.” where a Song called “Almost Unreal” appeared at the the end of the movie was the best part of the whole thing!! History repeating it seems!

Roxlander said on September 1, 2008 14:43:

This is great!! Good for Marie, she deserves all success in the world.

coyboyusa said on September 1, 2008 15:12:

maybe it’s just me but other singles of her’s deserved this alot more than this one.

so say we all

abysmo said on September 1, 2008 18:21:

Marketing works. Movie soundtrack, videoclip, many newspaper articles and offcourse, very good song.
I think that Ordet är farväl was great song and this song deserves videoclip. Full of leaving, dying roses, autumn leaves, dark empty rooms and autumn rain. Just what Marie fits best.

randall said on September 2, 2008 18:02:

Ordet är farväl is ok, but i’m not very into Bolyos influence on her musik, Marie is so much better with her own inspiration from previous material, and in this case, Där du andas is better as well, too much better...
Good for this Marie’s number one song. Enjoy it Marie!

Emil__BG said on September 3, 2008 19:07:

The HIT is more tham just good music or lyrics.

This song fit perfect the story of ARN .
It’s has good video.
Right time
Everything is on the right place.

Lets buy first number1 Marie single and make it number one another week :-))

abysmo said on September 3, 2008 21:37:

We’ll see in next 12 and a half hour. :-)

Super cool! Yup, Marie’s the queen :)

It’s #3 this week :(

Roxerally said on September 5, 2008 13:42:

Well done Marie!

felicity-brown said on September 6, 2008 14:40:

Congrats Marie!

Saw the film a few days back - it was okay, but not as good as the first, in my opinion. Forgot to pick up the single, while I was there though grr ...guess it’ll have to wait til we return in less than 3 weeks hmm Love this song! :)

rox-kuryliw said on September 9, 2008 21:56:

Does anyone know if they is an English translation of the lyrics kicking around ?

Perekopsky said on September 10, 2008 06:55:

Translated and audited by Tomasz & PiR_GeSSLe

“Där du andas / Where you breath”

Spöken och spel / Ghosts and games
tvivel och tvång / Doubts and coercion
Månen går upp / Moon goes up
den ser vad du vill / It sees what you want
Lyser i natt / It shines in the night
och strålarna följer mig / and beams are chasing me
de hör mig viska att / They hear that I whisper that

Där du andas / Where you breath
där du älskar / where you love
där vill jag leva / where I want to live
min stund på jorden / my moment on Earth
Där vi sjunger / Where we sing
ska alla himmelens änglar få lust / all heaven’s angels will be content
till samma sång / with the same song

Ljudet av oss / Sound of us
klingar så rent / that sounds so clear
blir till en bild av kärlekens väg / becomes a image of love’s way
och hoppet och tro / and hope and faith
att ingenting är försent / that nothing is too late
att hjärta ska få ro / that heart will find its rest

Där du andas / Where you breath
där du älskar / where you love
där vill jag leva / where I want to live
min stund på jorden / my moment on Earth
Där vi sjunger / Where we sing

Samma längtan / The same longing
samma drömmar / The same dreams
samma månen / The same Moon
samma toner / The same tones
som samma röst / like te same voice
i samma sång / in the same song*

randall said on September 10, 2008 21:02:

thank you very much for the translation

Perekopsky said on September 12, 2008 07:04:

It’s No.7 this week. Still great as it is in Top10!
And No.7 is a lucky number indeed ;)

tevensso (moderator) said on September 12, 2008 12:11:

This is a tweak of the previous translation, which wasn’t bad but considering I’m Swedish and all...

Spöken och spel / Ghosts and games
tvivel och tvång / Doubts and compulsion
Månen går upp / The moon rises
den ser vad du vill / It sees what you want
Lyser i natt / It shines tonight
och strålarna följer mig / and the beams follow me
de hör mig viska att / They hear me whispering that

Där du andas / Where you breath
där du älskar / where you love
där vill jag leva / is where I want to live
min stund på jorden / my moment on Earth
Där vi sjunger / Where we sing
ska alla himmelens änglar få lust / all heaven’s angels will desire
till samma sång / the same song

Ljudet av oss / The sound of us
klingar så rent / rings so pure
blir till en bild av kärlekens väg / and becomes a image of love’s way
och hoppet och tro / and the hope and the belief
att ingenting är försent / that nothing is too late
att hjärta ska få ro / that the heart will find peace

Där du andas / Where you breath
där du älskar / where you love
där vill jag leva / is where I want to live
min stund på jorden / my moment on Earth
Där vi sjunger / Where we sing

Samma längtan / The same longing
samma drömmar / The same dreams
samma månen / The same moon
samma toner / The same tones
som samma röst / like the same voice
i samma sång / in the same song

tevensso (moderator) said on September 15, 2008 08:58:

The song enters MixMegapol’s listener chart at #19. It also plummets from #2 to #35 on the Digichart, the official download chart listed on P3.
