Remembrance book for Marie Fredriksson
Dear fellow friends, dear fans of Marie Fredriksson, dear Roxette fans, dear kind people in this world,
our friend Marie has passed away on December 9, and many, many people in the world are heartbroken and would like to express their feelings. Not everyone can do so on the social media, not everyone can do so by coming to Sweden and signing the official remembrance book laid out in Stockholm.
We want to collect your thoughts, your grieve, but also your finest memories with Marie here. Please write down what you always wanted to say to her, we will collect each single entry of yours, put them into one single book and send it over to Marie’s family to show them how much she made this world better through you.
Thank you.
[All entries made before January 1, 2020 were taken over for the book. You will still be able to add your messages now but we cannot consider them for the book to Marie’s family anymore as it has been printed by now.]
The Daily Roxette had one copy of the book printed early January 2020 and handed it over to Marie Dimberg, Roxette’s manager and a very good friend of Marie Fredriksson and her family, in Göteborg on January 20, 2020. The printed version of the book is nearly 800 pages thick and it has a white cover. Its title “Tack för allt Marie” (Thank you for everything Marie) is written in silver and red letters on its sleeve.
Here you see some quick photos of the book, sadly there has never been a chance to take proper photos of this one copy as it arrived just before the evening we headed to Göteborg for the “En kväll för Marie Fredriksson” show.
If you are interested, you can download a simplified version (the printed version contains a few more blank pages to separate the chapters, for instance) of the book with all entries right here.
The entries are sorted alphabetically by names, this file is also searchable.
Entries with non-latin character sets are at the very end of the book. Most URLs have been removed as they make little sense in a printed book.

Tus canciones marcaron mi adolecencia, y hoy son parte de mi vida. Tu partida duele, una parte importante de nuestras vidas se ha ido. Marie. Aunque ya no estás físicamente, tu música y recuerdo, vivirá eternamente en mi mente y corazón.

Marie
I wish I could fly or run to you
Instead I spend my time
And when tonight the stars came through
I know, you shine your light
On me. And love is all around
Before you went to sleep.
Like crash, boom, bang the guitar sounds
We cry like rain, soul deep.
Now things will never be the same
I’m staring at the ground
Where watercolours in the rain
Are fading like a flower.
I’ll always listen to your heart
And I’ll remember you
Like fireworks among these stars
The First Girl on the Moon.
Now it will take a long long time
To wash the pain away
One day, I’ll run to you, then fly:
Bring back the perfect day.

Dearest Marie, thank you so much for sharing your amazing gift with the world. You will truly be missed. While you may no longer be with us physically, your beautiful voice will live on forever in the hearts of all your fans. I’m sending tons of love to your family, whom I know are missing you the most.

Minha adolescência foi marcada por suas canções. Sonhava com um show da banda Roxette no Rio de Janeiro... Hoje eu entendi o que é viver sem esperanças, infelizmente esse show ficará para uma próxima vida... Obrigada por tantas músicas lindas que me proporcionaram emoções inesquecíveis! Roxette ficará para sempre em meu coração. Thank you...

Marie, je ne t' oublierai jamais. Aujourd'hui je suis effondrée. J ai perdu un membre de ma famille avec ton départ Marie. La peine est immense.
Roxette a tant représenté depuis toutes ces années.
Quand j ai rencontré celui que j appelle l' Amour de ma vie, assez rapidement nous nous sommes aperçus que tous les deux, nous aimions Roxette, et toi Marie... la belle Marie.
Ta voix, vos chansons ont accompagné notre amour. Vous étiez notre référence. Notre chanson, celle qui nous faisait vibrer, celle qui représentait notre Amour, c était Silver Blue. Même si un jour notre histoire d' amour s est éteinte et que .. le coeur est passé " Silver Blue for you ". ..jamais je n' ai oublié. Ta voix m' accompagne toujours, Roxette fait partie de ma vie.
Marie repose en paix, toi qui t es battue avec courage pendant toutes ces longues années. Tu seras toujours dans mon coeur et ta voix continuera de résonner en moi. ??

When someone passes away is a very sad and difficult time for those that remain. Marie is not suffering anymore and she is for sure in other dimenssion having a blast with Lennon, Janice Joplin, Kurt and many more legends.

I have loved Roxette since I first heard them in New Zealand in 1987 (someone sent my Dad a bootleg tape--sorry! I did go on to buy an authorised copy). I own every album, and the music has been a background to my life over the years--associated with every major life event: my exchange to Finland, every break up, marriage, having children. I waited over 20 years before I got the chance to see them live in Melbourne in 2012, and it was such a gift, I saw both shows. I never thought I would get to see them live, because I had been living in Finland and was on the plane home when I read the news that Marie was ill. I feel so very, very lucky to have seen the three shows I did.
The number of times Marie's music has made me happy, brought me out of a funk, let me feel sad, or just been there when I needed it is incalculable. Thank you so, so much for sharing your mother, daughter and sister with us for so long. She spread so much joy in the world.

Muy triste noticia. Una gran voz, que acompaño mi adoleacencia y toda mi vida. Tuve el placer de poder verlos en sus dos últimos shows en Buenos Aires en 2011 y 2012 y vivir en vivo la fuerza enorme de esta mujer. Vas a vivir por siempre en tu música y en todos los que la amamos y seguiremos escuchándola. Un día muy triste. Se fue una luchadora increíble.

1992 recuerdo que mi madre llegó con una cinta de cassette JOYRIDE y desde ese momento con 9 años me enamoré de tu voz y de tus canciones, en los momentos más tristes siempre escuchaba ROXETTE y me llenaba de paz, cada disco, cada letra nueva me hacía feliz, siento una gran tristeza, pero siempre te tendré en mi corazón, y siempre formaras parte de mi vida y serás un ejemplo a seguir como persona, muchas gracias Marie DEP
