Gyllene Tider – Needles and Pins (live 1985) – www.dailyroxette.com
Gyllene Tider live on En gång på 60-talet 1985. Remastered sound.
This is the last teaser before we finally spill the beans in two days. Have we mentioned we even obtained our very own ISBNs for this?
Still going strong after 39 years! “Flickorna på TV2” was released today 40-1 years ago! ? The single was originally released with “Flickorna på TV2” as the B-side and “Himmel No. 7” as the A-side, but radios started playing the B-side and so a week later the single was re-issued as a double A-side. ? A1 – “Flickorna på TV2”; A2 – “Himmel No. 7”. ? Does it deserve to be celebrated next year? ? #GT40? ✌ What do you think? ? /PP
Stills are from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKIebBaKWjs
39 years ago this little piece of vinyl was released. The band is still standing as one of Sweden’s most successful ever. Nicely done, boys!

Per’s 60 for 60. #34 Inte tillsammans, inte isär (Not Together, Not Apart.) Another one of those songs about a struggling couple. This one can’t be together, but they also can’t be apart. When summer is here, they are all in love, but then when fall comes, they can’t be together anymore. What to do, what to do? A great song from “Scener” also released on an EP with Marlon Brando on the sleeve. Marie Fredriksson sings the song too, since it’s a duet. The sound is very Gyllene of this era. When a morning turns August, the times of loneliness begin, because we can’t be together and we can’t be apart. Per changed the lyrics when he performs it live because “(he) didn’t like them”. The demo from 1984 has totally different lyrics. Speaking of that demo, we don’t know who sings on it, but she really can’t sing… And how about that accordion solo in the finished product? #per60

If you’re interested in the history of some of my songs Patricia & Co at RoxetteBlog have done a great job writing everything down. I learned a thing or two myself!!!! Check this out! /P.
Good fire-side reading on cold December nights. Continuously updated! 😉 /PP
Moviestars. Spelar in PARKLIV 1980 med Lasse Hallström. /P. PS. Har du sett filmen? Chips o grill, näst intill.
Still like this song. Written for Roxette and Marie to sing (in January 2002) but we never got the chance to record it. It stands out a bit on the “Son Of A Plumber”-album, it’s much more mainstream than anything else (Hey mr DJ excluded…). In the normal stereomix (this unofficial video seems for some reason to be in mono) you’ll find the drums to the left (a little production gimmick we picked up from Nick Lowe’s “Crackin’ Up”). /P.

Per’s 60 for 60. #35 Substitute (For the Real Deal). And we’re back to the magnificient album “Son of a Plumber” and this song, which at one point was to become a single. Sad that it was scrapped. The girl Per sings about in “Substitute” is a horrible person, she likes nothing about him and just seems to waiting for that One. This song was suggested to be the lead single off “SOAP” but Per went with “C’mon” instead. She says so/She doesn’t like your rock’n roll/Cos it makes her feel old but it’s alright/She comes and goes/She doesn’t like your fading clothes/You look cheaper than most but it’s alright! A mean girl. Have you ever been thru this? #per60

Per’s 60 for 60. #36 If I Knew Then (What I Know Now). What are the odds?? Yesterday we had the Swedish counterpart and today this… Yes it’s the same song, basically with the same lyrics. Still this one gathered a few more points. Like we said yesterday, this was never released and was written more than a year and a half before the Swedish version. The lyrics are just as sad: And I wonder/Who will be sleeping in my bed?/Who will be picking the roses?/Who will share the pillow I dream on/When rain falls all over my blue lakes?/Over my lost brakes?/Over my mistakes? This is the very same passage as yesterday. Sad, right? #per60
Usch. Hörde att Pete Shelley gått bort. Oj, vad vi i GT lyssnade på Buzzcocks när det begav sig. Fortfarande outstanding brittisk pop. RIP Pete! /P.

Per’s 60 for 60. #37 Om jag vetat då (vad jag vet nu) If I’d Known Then (What I Know Now). Another song from “En händig man” and once again a great song. It was also recorded as a demo in English, however that one was recorded before the Swedish version. So what’s this song about? Love, of course. But lost love. The lyrics are very sad. Och jag undrar/vem kommer att få sova i din säng/vem håller du om när det blåser?/vem får bo i drömmen du drömmer?/en stilla doft av aprikoser/
och vilda rosor And I wonder/Who will be sleeping in your bed/Who are you hugging when the wind blows?/Who’s living in the dream you’re dreaming?/A still fragrance of apricots/and wild roses… #per60

Per’s 60 for 60. #38 Silly Really. Another “Party Crasher” song, the lead single even. This song was also (digitally) released as a 12″ dance mix. Of course we got a video, unfortunately we can’t find out who made it, but it was definitely inspired by the movie “Donnie Darko.” Lots of things happening in that video, very weird karaoke among other things. A nice track however, totally different from both SOAP and “En händig man,” a necessary change according to many, including Per. Then again, it’s not that far from his “normal” sound. Did anyone notice the “Band on the Run” solo that’s been borrowed from Macca? #per60
