I lately downloaded Happy Together. Oh man it is REALLY cool. I like music and words... When was it wrote?It sounds like OLD REAL GOOD Roxette :))) Was it included only on WICF single???
daniel_alv said on March 16, 2003 00:01:
it’s only on the WICF single
i think it is a leftover from hand...

it was written and recorded for hand but was left off the album..the really cool thing is marie husband is a co-prodoucer on the song...its a b-side to the wicf maxi single :)

Thanks Mimi, you’re right - both the song and website there are fab. Had no idea this was a b-side to WICF - got the maxi-single myself back in 2000. Thanks again.

Yea I still think it’s just a demo. In fact it’s more demo-like than Don’t Believe in Accidents or Seduce Me.

if this is a demo.. dont u think it would of stated on the single its a demo like all the other songs like seduce me or dont believe in accidents were stated on the single lol...
this is actually my least favourite roxette song ever :(

LOL. Exactly. If it was a demo, wouldn’t it state? Also, it surely sounds like a fully recorded song to me. After all, it has both vocals of Per and Marie - quite a bit for a supposed demo.
animalkingdom said on March 16, 2003 12:11:
i believe it’s the only version of the song (a demo) but ok enough not to list it as one.
animalkingdom said on March 16, 2003 12:13:
@ jason
marie sings seduce me entirely...and that’s a demo.
besides, listen to the drum loop, all the instruments actually...sounds very unfinished to me, anyway.

I don’t think it is a demo. For me, the song sounds “finished”. The music and words really create a kind of atmosphere. I always have to think of Picasso and Spain when I hear the song. It’s wonderful.
boykie19 said on March 16, 2003 12:58:
of course its not a demo... listen 2 all the sound effects of the song
an i will say this again if it were a demo this is what it would of said on the single :
happy together(demo)
:)
animalkingdom said on March 16, 2003 13:48:
well if it’s not a demo it’s a song badly put together. i still like it but it could have sounded a LOT better!
boykie19 said on March 16, 2003 15:28:
animalkingdom - hence the reason for “happy together” been a b-side :P

There’s a thing in all Per demos, the mix of the vocals has a strange reverb, it is a subtle reverb.
And the drum loops are typical for a Per demo.....
BUT, the guitar is typically from Jonas (MP sometimes does that kinda of string bending in those riff/arpeggio things), so that is likely to not make it a demo. Officially it is not a demo, but for me it sounds just like a demo with some additional studio production.
Santi said on March 16, 2003 21:33:
For me it’s a demo too. It’s not so produced and it sounds very much like the demos of Per.

It does’nt say the word “demo” on the WICF single.
So IT IS NOT A DEMO, the song was very well produced.
Smurfie said on March 16, 2003 23:59:
I’ve no ida if it’s a demo or not, adn I really don’t care. I just think it’s a great song!
But, if you look in the sleeve of the wicf single you can read this about HT:
Programming & Synthsizers: PG & MP
Electric Guitars: MP
Backing Vocals: MF & PG
Produced By: PG
To me that seems like a song recorded down in Halmstad, T&A. But is it a demo? I don’t know, and no one here seems to, either...

Then it’s a demo
“DEMO” is just a label... i can grab the “Stay” demo and release it without saying it is a demo.
DEMO is just a label.
Mfan28179-Jason said on March 17, 2003 02:58:
LOL. All this fuss over whether or not it’s a demo. I guess we just have to look at how it’s listed. If it’s not listed as a demo, then I guess it’s not. When I listen to “Stay (Tits & Ass Demo)” it sounds like a fully recorded studio song to me, yet it’s a demo. I guess it’s just a matter of opinion.
Santi said on March 17, 2003 10:56:
Maybe they forgot to write the word “demo”, cuz it sounds like a demo and it was produced like every Per’s demo, according to the credits.
boykie19 said on March 17, 2003 13:13:
2 me it sounds like a fully produced shit song an thats the way the story goes :)
Santi said on March 17, 2003 21:21:
For me it’s a cool song produced like a... demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo demo :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
coyboyusa said on March 18, 2003 14:32:
get over it dammit its a demo it isn’t at least it was a NEW B SIDE when it came out...somethign it seems we won’t have the fortune of ever again
nate said on March 15, 2003 23:31:
