SÖDERHAMN - Head over to gessle.com and download your X-mas gift from Per for 2008 - a demo from 1995 named "Liberty."

- “Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best
then she's up and rock and rollin' with the rest
Here it is Merry xmas - everybody's having fun
Look to the future now - it's only just begun!”

Couldn’t have said it any better, merry x from per g

ps. btw. lyrix above from “Merry xmas everybody” by Slade (very underrated!!!)

Great thing, thanks Per :)

Do I recognize some lyrics that were also used in the Stars demo here?

I’d be lying if I said no. :)

arnie said on :

Thanks Per for giving away such a nice demo like this!
It would fit perfectly as a hidden track for Party Crasher

heyoka said on :

Thanx a lot Per!!! :) Nice mix of songs...

Blondie “Call Me”
and
the verse from a “Stars” demo.

I like it! :)

abysmo said on :

Per have some very strange out-take / b-side songs which you have to love. Happy Together, Entering Your Heart, Weight Of The World, The Sweet Halo..., The Voice, Crazy About You etc. So many (cca 20-30) great songs, this could be very nice and very useful compilation after 154 Hits albums. Liberty is one of those little nice forgotten songs which shows you another dimension of Per’s songwriting. Not typical Gessle, strange but very nice song.
BTW now we know how the Stars story begins.

Thank you Per. Every your new forgotten song is welcome.

Thanks Per for this gift..is great!! Sounds like Blondie..
1995 was a very productive year for you..ha ha
Merry X salutes from Santiago de Chile!!

n-Somnia said on :

Awesome! :-)

Since it’s a demo from ’95, does this mean it was a potential recording for Roxette, or is it purely a PG track?

tevensso (moderator) said on :

It was written for Belinda Carlisle.

pwbbounce (moderator) said on :

I like it, but I can see why Belinda Carlisle wasn’t keen. It wouldn’t have suited her. Always Breaking My Heart was much better for her

Nice ditty!

pardek said on :

Hej Per,

tack ska du ha! Very lovely present, thank you very much.
Merry X-Mas from Stuttgart - hope to see ya soon around!

Peter

THANK YOU PER!!!!

stormen said on :

Strange song, it won’t be my favourite, but a nice Christmas present from Per.

Tack så mycket Per!

daniel_alv said on :

Thank you Per!

Did also recognize some lyrics :P

GOD JUL PER!

sreky said on :

Very nice song with refrain from Stars [demo], thanx so much and Merry X Mas Per !!!

Robbie said on :

Thanks for the song, interesting is the fact that “Liberty” was recorded (and maybe composed as well) in between the Beijing and Moscow concerts. It’s good to refresh our winamps with songs out of “Party Crasher”.

P.S. Dear Per, just for your information only, we’re celebrating Saint Nicholas right now, gifts coming also along with it, and therefore we do expect and CLAIM our real X-mas demo as well !

Day & night-watcher fans deserve it, don’t you think?

PolicarpoAroca said on :

See you next year? Is this all for this year? Come on Per, you have JUST released a new album...some more promotion, at least in Sweden, would be a good a idea. I can´t understand...but hey, it´s your bussines...

pym2ik said on :

It is nice song, easily can be a roxette song with some work on it. the era of Don’t Believe in Accidents, when per experimented with his keyboards

first girl on t... said on :

Thank you Per and Merry Christmas to you, to TDR and to all readers! Actually I think the song could fit Belinda very well. I can only wonder why it didn’t appear on Rox albums, I think it could have been great with good production…

AURYTE said on :

It’s my first Christmas gift this year :) Thank you, Per :)
