LITTLE MISS SORROW. Yep, another leftover from the HAVE A NICE DAY-sessions in Marbella, Spain. Can't remember why this didn't make the HAND-album, both Marie and I liked it a lot. I guess it was because HAND was growing REAL LONG. Sometimes you just have to kill your darlings. My lead vocals are taken from my original demo recorded at the T&A Studio in Halmstad. I think. Or...hmmm...no? Do you remember pls enlighten me! /P.

MAKIN' LOVE TO YOU. Yep, another leftover from HAVE A NICE DAY. We never really worked properly on this one. Marie and I only did a couple of guide vocals to get into the groove. Lots of ballads around at the time. Do you like it? /P.


Roxette - Making Love To You

Sorry for the quality cause I'm still learning how to make videos.... lol This is a wonderfoul Roxette's song that touch deep in my heart.

HAPPY TOGETHER. RoxBlog found this article. Thanks. Personally I wish we would've spent time on this track back in Marbella when we recorded Have A Nice Day. I thought it was a wonderful little gem but we had so many songs!!! What eventually was released (as the b-side of the Wish I Could Fly-single) is actually my T&A-demo with some Marie vocals added to it afterwards. MP is playing those great guitars. /P. https://thejewelerblog.wordpress.com/2019/02/22/music-friday-noncommittal-boyfriend-loses-the-prettiest-jewel-in-roxettes-happy-together/?fbclid=IwAR190hWE7B7CKBICL-c_IONHkz4y1sFeMEoSJvbkRAsusEKeBVdWyoHHgvk

SvD's interview with Per Gessle about aging and pop music - RoxetteBlog

Andres Lokko from Svenska Dagbladet did an excellent interview with Per Gessle and it was published together with Staffan Löwstedt’s wonderful photos in SvD last Sunday. It’s the first time Per let journalists inside his apartment on Strandvägen, Stockholm, so the article also gives you a snea...

We're so thrilled to have the HAVE A NICE DAY finally out on vinyl. And it's a double!!!! Should be available mid-April. Remember Salvation? The video was shot in Amalfi + Napels in Italy, October 1999. Directed by the very tall Anton Corbijn. Have a fab weekend y'all! /P.

Stumbled upon this one while preparing for the mighty double-LP release of Have A Nice Day. A very dear and special song to me since it was written for my (nowadays hipster-lookin') son. Beautiful soprano saxophone by the amazing Jonas Knutsson. Enjoy. I will! /P.


Roxette - I Was So Lucky

Roxette - Have a Nice Day

Oh yea! Cover version av "Regn"! Don't think I've heard it before. I do remember writing the English lyric to it way back for some reason.... There must be a demo of it somewhere in the drawer next to The Heartland Cafe'-outtakes! Aaah, the lazy hazy crazy days of the 80's. Thanks for digging it up, you Dailies. /P. Per 60 for 60 - Encore. Regn (Rain.) Taken from the self titled album "Per Gessle" released in 1983, recorded while the rest of the band did their tour in the army. Also recorded in English, called "Run to Me" but never released by Per. Christopher Barker, a German American, released it on his 2000 album "One Moment in Time" however. The lyrics are very typical Per, about a couple in love. "Sitting by the window looking up/but all I see is rainclouds/your eyes today have the color of yesterday's sky/and tell me/what would I have had/without all the energy/that you give/and I take? #100 on our chart.


Regn

Per 60 for 60 - Encore.

Double-LP (vinyl) anyone???? /P. https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Control-Mono/dp/B07LDC9C6J


Mind Control

Album MIND CONTROL is a set of 16 (additional two on vinyl) vintage pop, electronica and ambient music songs, including hits: ‘LalaLove,” “Found My Soul At Marvingate” and “Save Me A Place.”

Hahaha groovy baby!! /P.


Fernando

Hey look at this ;)

MORE INFO re the Crash! Boom! Bang- video: I notice some of you want to know where to find the "first version" of the CBB-clip. Thing is that the director eventually noted a serious sync problem so it couldn't be seen or edited at all. In those days it was pretty complicated to correct big mistakes/issues like this. Don't ask me exactly what happened cos I don't really know. Technical stuff has never been my cuppa tea. So all in all... there was never a final version of "the first one". We had to record everything once more. No big deal. We regarded it as a 250.000GBP-rehearsal. Aaah the music biz in those days.... Have a fab wekend y'all. /P.


DOUBLE VINYL = YEEHAA! /P.

London 1994. Did you know we had to make this video twice? Technical f##k-ups happened after it was done so the first version couldn't be used at all. Lots of tears, anger and a slightly frustrated insurance company were the main ingredients in this particular milkshake. PS. The second version (that's here) turned out even better than the first one! Marie+Per = happy! /P.

Interview with Per Gessle by Variabeln - RoxetteBlog

Carl Fredrik Lööw from Variabeln did an interview with Per. He asked Mr. G how a typical day looks in his life. PG said there is almost no typical day. It depends on what he is working with or where he is. When he is in the studio then he usually starts at 10 am ... Read more

Today 8 years ago, Roxette charmed us with releasing their 8th studio album. ? As Per said, "it's a mishmash of all kinds of styles from bubble gum nonsense to some pretty heavy songs". Are you more into the heavy ones or the bubble gum style? ? /PP Listen to Charm School here: https://open.spotify.com/album/6BcDgENhbFI6CHX2rNnS98

The Daily Roxette

BEHIND MONO MIND - we conclude our little Mono Mind behind-the-scenes-with-Dr. Robot with this little baby. Thanks so much, Per, for putting this together for us. I FOUND MY SOUL AT MARVINGATE This is also quite an old one. I started writing it in the summer of 2013 and the working-title was “Mercy”. This is all about the chorus. Classic Roxette-style killer-chorus. You can arrange a song like this in so many ways and if you listen to the version that’s on the EP (not the album version which is the Sofa Tunes-remix) you can hear pretty classic rock style guitars in there, both in the verses and in the choruses. “Marvingate” is the only MM-track (so far) where we have used guitars a la power pop in the production. I didn’t use the EP-version on the album since I felt the Sofa Tunes-remix gave the album a more “groovy” touch. Dr. Robot sounds in top shape here. Love that voice. I wish I sounded like that for real when I’m answering the phone. Have you noticed the Rolling Stones-references in the lyrics? Jumpin’ Jack? Paint it, black? Neither did Christoffer and Clarence! Aaaaah, I’m so misunderstood! #behindmonomind

Some Sunday afternoon music for ya! Enjoy! /P.


Roxette - Fireworks

Yep, this is from today's HP interview, translated by the, as always, one-step-ahead RoxBlog. /P.


RoxetteBlog.com

According to a recent Hallandsposten interview with Per Gessle, Mr. G started writing songs for the upcoming Gyllene Tider album already last spring. There are appr. 20 new songs and the guys will start working on them in spring, when they record the album in France. Where in France? They keep it as a secret to avoid drones circulating around the studio. Haha. Per's idea was to go back to a little "cleaner" sound that they had on the first two albums, remove the muscles they acquired in recent years.The album (no known working title yet) will be released before the tour. Christoffer will be the co-producer and there will also be a French assistant in the studio. Regarding the tour Per says that he and the other 4 Golden Guys were already talking about a 40th anniversary tour in 2013. Visually it will be a cool one and they will of course play their greatest hits, but the guys will sneak in some songs they haven't played before, or at least not in modern times. Jan-Owe Wikström tells it's logical to have the premiere gig in Halmstad, but how come it ends in Norway. Per's reaction is his typical cryptical answer, "who knows..." /PP The interview is available for subscribers only: http://www.hallandsposten.se/n%C3%B6je/musik/jag-b%C3%B6rjade-skriva-nya-gyllene-l%C3%A5tar-redan-i-v%C3%A5ras-1.12904850
