Missing Some Rare Stuff

72 replies

Hey people,

I’m collecting roxsongs and demos for quite a long time. As far as I know these are some rare songs I’m missing, hope someone can help me out:

“Being With You” (demo, registered at BMI)

’Ghost In The House’ (demo, registered at BMI)

’Girl Like You’ (demo, registered at BMI)

’Loud Clothes’ (demo, registered at BMI)

’Myth’

’Only You’ (demo, registered at EMI, written with Desmond Child in 1995)

’Only When I Dream’ (demo, registered at BMI)

’Run To Me’ (demo, registered at BMI)

’Sweet Thing’

’Turn Of The Tide’ (demo, registered at BMI)

Myth wasn’t recorded yet.

Hmm, as far as I know, oly one of them exists ( I mean some happy fans like me have it, not Per :))
But I won’t upload it to internet - perhaps swapping for another, heh, ;) song from this list...

Oh Yes. I DO believe you.

I have the following demos: Joy of a Toy, Soul deep, IMHBL, ON, ATAY, etc... but I won’t upload them... Per himself send them to me, he always asked me an opinion...

kibkalo speaks the truth

arnie and kibkalo : you mean that you have some x-tra rare rox-stuff that you don’t want to share with other fans ???It’s really not fair from guys !!!

If I’ll find something rare in the future, I will share with fans as much as I can

“Monster Hangover”

kibkalo: why won´t you shear with us fans?:(
Roxette is my life, I live for stuff like this. please, c´mon:)

Loud Clothes! That’s a song I expected to hear on TPH...It sounds fairly exciting.

As far as I know, these songs are not out to anyone, or at least not to someone that has shared them. I’ve only heard one of them myself.

wich one have you heard Tevensso?

Sweet Thing, by Sugar Bee.

was it any good?

Well, the Sugar Bee version is weird, the demo sounds just like most Per demos - great.

yeah, great, if you have it and DONT want to share then better don’t mention it at all. I think it is selfish. What’s the fun to have it if you are the only one to be happy with the song?

and btw, I am sure that fans would appreciate the song and consider the fact it is rare by not spreading it all over the net, just sharing within the real fans.

@gyllene_tjej
I couldn’t have said it better myself!

//Anders

@ gyllene_tjej: i think the same way, but it seems to be something usual in here:
“I can give you this but i want something in exchange”.

Only Is just a Piano Demo Sung By Desmond Childs I think. This is what Per Said Anyway.

Dave

to kibkalo: kakogo hrena ty tut vlez??? Sideli by oni vse spokoino i zdali etih demok.. Vsegda kto-to chto-to isportit...mlin

to tevensso: what came upon you, dude? I told you not to mention SB release!

to others: there’s also a release of “Run To Me” by Christopher Barker available on his album “One Moment In Time”. I haven’t heard that yet, but maybe a nice song.

AM, sorry, brain damage... :S

Why not mention SB release?
If someone wants to hear Sweet Thing by Sugar Bee, they can contact me anytime, although it’s somewhat different from Per’s demo of the song.

There is a short snippet of Run to me by Christopher Barker here:

http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004SX1Y/asearch/028-3872685-220...

here in lies a prime example of the outsider mentality the fan base here exhibits :)

whoever told that... especially coyboyusa... :)
where are your famous rarevideos, huh?

@ colinvdbel: i would love to have that song, can you send it to me?

@Ketil: I ’ve listened to this clip and run to me sounds like an english version of “regn”

It’s definitely Regn! :)

You are right. It’s Regn. Why didn’t I noticed that.

Yep, RTM sounds just like ’regn’

@Colin: can you upload the song?

CU,
MC

I will find a site where I can upload the song, maybe on our page from the R.F.O. ...I’ll let you know!

@ colinvdbel: thanx!!!!!!!!

my ” rare” videos are looking for a home on the web..or maybe ebay :)

no that was a joke but truly I have a busy life up there of sarcastic one...:)

patience is a virtue so lacking in the roxette community

besides I am american I suck don’t I why would you want anything from me?

run to me is so made for marie to sing I can hear it now :)

@coyboy

because I’m from sweden :-)

.

“Vintergatan” is also “Cilla 16” with re-written lyrics :)

@seba AND the rest of you:

I just made a site, and put Sweet Thing (by Sugar Bee) and Stay (by Ann-Louise) on it. Both are in excellent quality (192 kbs).

http://www.gesslish.tk

Have fun!

p.s. remember to right click the links for the files and ’save target as...’.

Thanks a lot!! :-) I wish real fans were more united, especially the fans in the TDR community. I mean, we are all in here. We all are constantly talking to each other. It’s just like an big family. We even congratulate others in the TDR community when we know someone’s b-day. :-)

Take care.
Carlos E., New York.

@Colin: thanx!!!
A question about the demo: do you have it or have you just heard it?

Cool song!

CU,
MC

I could hear Marie making a better job of singing ’Sweet Thing’ ! I like this track :)

agree with roxrider.
colinvdbel: thanx again, i’m downloading the song right now :)

@colin: thanks!!!

@Roxrider: You’re so right!

//Anders

sweet thing is a cool song!!!.
As far as I know is from 1999. a hand leftover maybe?

No it’s much older than that. My guess is 88-90. But I can’t prove that at all.

Hey, guys, can anybody pick up the lyrics for SB version? I seem to have the problem with verses before the chorus :( Whatta heck do they sing there?

I’m glad to help you all! I’ve been downloading so much stuff from the net over the couple of years, I was happy to do something back! If you guys want any other mp3’s to be online too, I’ll find a way to put more files online. Just contact me...

[email protected]

http://www.trfo.tk –> soon to be updated...

What about “Every day” because it wasn’t on the German limited edition *grrrr* ...!

I’m looking for a lot of songs per wrote for other artists. some of them are Twilight Zone - emily, herreys - vintergatan, ofwerman - young.

Those songs may be provided if opportunity knocks!

A good advice: go constantly searching everywhere. Internet here is also of great help.

I’ve started more than 1 year ago in interest to what Per has written for others cos I was sick of listening to all Rox/GT already released stuff over and over again. It all began from a 10-12 songs I had which were mostly availble. Then I ocassionally came up to the list by Ketil which knocked me as a blasting shot! I missed like hell about 70 songs and never heard of 20 or so!
Now it’s like there’s 108 known to me and about 10 are missing. Info is everywhere - just go and pick it up.

P.S. For ex. there are 8 (eight) places offering Sugar Bee and at least now 3-4 offering Herreys and Twilight Zone. Colin, are you around here? Go get them, and then rip good from vinyl ;)

I don’t know herreys and twilight....but i can rip some other things from vinyl...I’ve got nam och nummer fomr anna book on 7”...and on mp3 by the pinks (same song) somewhere....I’ll make nice directory of it, and put it on roxbytes, if Pietro will allow it ;)

Otherwise, maybe on the RFO site.

I’ll let you all know when I get there ...

to colin: there’s also third version of “Namn Och Nummer” by Perikles which is the most rockier and cool. Anna Book and The Pinks are too poppy and childish. ;)

lol cool! can you email it to [email protected]?

“You’ve got mail”. :D

Nice! [email protected]

Take care.
Carlos E., New York.

AntiMario: so you actually know about 108 songs that Per has written/co-written with/for other artists? Care to name them?
I´m just curious by nature:)

That should be enough for now ;)

Pasting from Ketil’s list :)
Sure some are missing. Some are incorrectly named.
Colin, you can consult The Look For Roxette Book for some more.
To Roxholic: I’m not in a mood to type 108 names.
From Coiln’s list I don’t have just 2 songs - Rococo & Drifters ;)
If anybody can help - choose any other for exchange.

The lyrics to Run To Me (Regn)

Run to me

I’ll take you tonight
I’ll take you down to the waterside
I’ll lay by your side
I’ll give you a piece of my heart
Like the river leads to the sea
The love between you and me
Becomes reality

Run to me
Every time you need someone
Run to me
I’m waiting close behind
When streams of loneliness
Are running to you endlessly
Run to me
Just hold out and run to me

There’s no need to worry
No reason for you to be alone
‘Cause I got to show
The feeling inside of me now
And you know you’re the only one
There’s a promise under the moon
That shines like the sun

Run to me
Every time you need someone
Run to me
I’m waiting close behind
When streams of loneliness
Are running to you endlessly
Run to me
Just hold out and run to me

Run to me
Every time you need someone
Run to me
I’m waiting close behind
When streams of loneliness
Are running to you endlessly
Run to me
Just hold out and run to me

@colinvdbel: So you have all the songs from the list excluding those with * ?

Eh! I’m too late again :)
I wanted to post it here. OK, here is some more you’ve missed, Colin.

Gone, Gone, Gone

Words & Music: Per Gessle

It could have made it thru
It could have lasted forever
Now it’s gone, gone, gone
The bells were ringing thru
I heard “Hey, let’s stick together”
Now it’s gone, gone, gone yeah

Luck can never be simple
You really have to try
And it’s a rough tough game you’re playin’
When I look it in the eye
Now it’s gone, gone, gone
It’s all gone, gone, gone yeah

We could have touched the sky
A life-well worth living
Now it’s gone, gone, gone
The miles are used to be
Well now they’re all worth nothing
Now they’re gone, gone, gone yeah

The love ain’t never easy
And passion is the key
It’s a tough rough hand you’re showin’
When you’re giving it to me
Now it’s gone, gone, gone
It’s all gone, gone, gone yeah
Yeah now it’s gone, gone, gone
Alright yeah it’s all gone, gone, gone, gone
Yeah

And those with “*” are the songs Ketil wasn’t sure who wrote the music or lyrics. Now it’s all known. :)

Well, thank you very much guys! I really appreciate this:)

@everyone: Friends, where can i find the songs in those lists and songs that Per demoed and gave them away to other singers? I’d really appreciate such help. I really want to have the songs demoed by Per that were given to other singers ’cause i really enjoy listening to them just (Paris - I do belive, Belinda - Always breaking my heart and love doesn’t live here and Ann Louise - Stay (At Work, At Home, At Play). Hope someone can give me a hand. Thanks in advance.

Take care guys!
Carlos E., New York.

@roxrider: some of them are in www.roxservice.com —->discography—–>per——>bootlegs——>music acccording to gessle.
and also www.roxette.median.ru

if anyone has songs that are not available at roxservice.com yet, please mail them to [email protected] and they’ll be uploaded as well

Another one specially for seba ;)
I dunno why you’re longing so bad to this song, Per only wrote the text... though... I listened to that one cycled for a week ;)

Emily

Text: Per Gessle
Music: Ljunggren / Almqvist

I remember
I can hear the sound of laughter
We were crossing every stream
I was sharing every dream with you

Love forever
Keepin out of dark together
But the shelter in the night
Turned into goodbye
From you...

Laaa-a-la-ha.. Emily!
Will you go?
Will you leave?
My love will survive!

Laaa-a-la-ha.. Emily!
Can’t you hear, my love, I’m calling...

Breaking daylight
I can see your face in twilight
In a different shade
I can feel a magic fade
From you.

Love’s in danger
When I find your heart’s a stranger
We were crossing every stream
I was sharing every dream with you.

No, I haven’t got those songs, just found that list somewhere on the net ;)

@seba: Thanls a lot, friend.

Take care.
Carlos E., New York.

@ Roxrider: you’re welcome :)
@ Antimario: Thanx for the lyric. Well, I’m just asking for this song because to me it’s one of those “hard to get”.Check out http://www.expage.com/roxremakes This page could be interesting for you.
@ marcusvandeursen: I have some of them, tell me which songs from ketil’s list you still miss.
edited:
I forgot:
@ tevensso: thanx for “Run to me” lyric.

Hej, seba! Thanx for a link. There are some interesting ones. Also check your mail for a small favor. Any other lyrics I could help you with? (Stanna, Vintergatan, Kyss Fran En Framling?)
Yes, Twilight Zone 7” is rather expensive (20$) and hard to find ;)

It’s nice!! Cept Barker sounds like he is dying. :P Would love to hear PG do it!
