It’s alright.
Nothing out of the ordinary, though.
Take care!

I’m having the same difficulties. I don’t have Quicktime, so installed it, and it still isn’t working. Damnit
From the comments though, I take it I haven’t missed much?

I didn’t like it that much and I don’t like the song either, but it was kind of funny moments in the video.

The song is nice, I like it. Much better than some instrumentals we can find on the SOAP album. But the video... there is not much there. Just assorted images all glued together, with a music background. I was waiting for something crazy, but with some plot or idea behind it. This is totally random.

I hate instrumentals ... But kind of like this one ...
At minute 1.38 where the old man walks up to the house... That’s
from Poltergeist II :-O ... Love those movies *Grin*

Other style of music but I like this song. Nice work, Per!!
abysmo said on December 7, 2007 20:35:
The song is really old fashioned, mix between 007 themes and some 70’s psychedelia. Sounds good. And video fits its atmosphere, together it has meaning.I like it. Nice b-side (or a-side) surprise. BTW: Can anybody upload video for download? Thanks.

Here you have, even if I don’t know it’s possible to post such a link here. I hope I am not getting in trouble :)

I do like the video; Helena looks as great as ever… loving Per with the tape over his mouth! However cannot help thinking what is the point of a song without lyrics let alone a video with it… still I like the music! It’s catchy!
madmoosegirl said on December 7, 2007 22:32:
@ RJ1976 – I think you will find it’s not actually from Poltergeist II I can tell from the background but it’s made to look like it…. There isn’t much I don’t know about the Poltergeist films!

Well, I am sure many will call me a philistine, but I don’t like it. I actually also never really liked SOAP. The song sounded quite interesting at the beginning but I didn’t like this voice in the strange singsong.
What I enjoy about Per’s music is that it always reminds me of Sweden. So I really enjoy the stuff he does with Gyllene Tider and the solo albums “Mazarin” and “En händig man”. I don’t think that Per is in need of using strange and indefinable sounds to make good and valuable music.

7-Twenty-7: thank you for uploading the video
Who said Helena was pretty as always? I didn’t see her, Per with that tape on his mouth: fanny, the rest of the video: it doesn’t impresses me much, some funny shots but lack of structure, no story behind
the song: I do really like it...
7-Twenty-7 said on December 8, 2007 00:23:
You are welcome :)
Some people should remember he composed this song exclusively to be used as the theme-song of a TV-show. It had to be a funny song, mostly instrumental, and that’s what we got. He had no intention to join the ’Hall of Fame’ or hit any charts by doing this.
abysmo said on December 8, 2007 02:34:
Regarding chart positions... “Pratar Med Min Müsli (Hur Det Än Verkar)” / “Shopping With Mother” was released Nov. 28th, but didn’t entry to Swedish Top 60 single chart. I hope it will change next week, both a-sided songs sounds good, no hits but they deserves to hit at least Top 60.

@ randall - You missed Helena... she looks great in that video, she is sat at the mirror doing her hair and then walking down the stairs holding the candles!
RJ1976 said on December 8, 2007 09:11:
@Madmoosegirl ... Are you sure ? Well just had a look and the background really doesnt fit 100% :-) ... But you must admit it’s quite similar... Love those films. Well 1 & 2 I like ... 3 is bad, but only the ending because they hat to rewrite it, because of the death of Heather O’Rourke (Carol Anne)

I really love music from Per, Marie, Gyllene Tider and so on, but “Shopping with mother” ist really “waste”, sorry Per!!! It ist my objective opinion.

@RJ1976 - Yep, she’s in it. She’s in one of those repetitive shots looking behind her whilst seated for example.

@ RJ1976
P3 was one of my fave but you could tell Heather was really ill in filming that, it was such a shame she died..... now I have the urge to go watch P 1 & 2 & 3!!!!
