Roxette

Un po' commerciali, ma in fondo non c'è nulla di male,
considerando che scrivono canzoni sempre melodiche e
ben fatte

Roxette > The Ballads Hits (2002) > Crash! Boom! Bang!

My Papa told me to stay out of trouble,
"When you've found your man, make sure he's for real!".
I've learned that nothing really lasts forever.
I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal, they won't heal.

Cos every time I seem to fall in love,
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall,
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That's the call, that's the game
and the pain stays the same.

I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere,
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.
My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow,
but I always did, and Lord, I still do.
I'm still breaking the rules.

I kick it up. I kick it down.

Cos every time I seem to fall in love,
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall,
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That's my real middle-name,
it has always been the same.
That's the call, that's the game
and the pain stays the same.

I still feel the heat -
Slowly fallin' from the sky -
And the taste of the kissing,
shattered by rain -
Comin' tumblin' from behind -
And the wild holy war.

I kick it up. I kick it down

And every time I seem to fall in love,
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the roses dying on the floor,
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That's the tall, that's the game
and the pain stays the same.
That's my real middle-name,
it has always been the same.
Oh Yea Oh Yea Oh Yea ah-hah,
been the same, been the same.
It has always been the same.

It has always been the same.

questa è la mia preferita...

Roxette > The Ballads Hits (2002) > Listen To Your Heart

I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

And there are voices that want to be heard.
So much to mention but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic, the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Roxette > The Ballads Hits (2002) > It Must Have Been Love
(Christmas For The Broken Hearted)

Lay a whisper on my pillow,
leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely,
there's air of silence in the bedroom
and all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been love but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.

From the moment we touched, 'til the time had run out.
Make-believing we're together that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your palm.
And it's a hard winters day, I dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It's all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,
it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows.

io me li ricordo bene .
Mi piacevano un sacco.
Soprattutto the look e joyride.
Ma anche tante altre.
Gran bel gruppo rock.

Mi ricordo che, all'epoca non mi facevano impazzire. Però ultimamente mi è capitato di risentire (anzi di suonare) "It Must Have Been Love" e devo dire che mi sono ricreduto...

E' un brano molto bello.

indubbiamente The Look ha ritmo e un testo molto intrigante...

> Roxette > Tourism (1992) > The Look

1-2-3-4 walking like a man,
hitting like a hammer,
she's a juvenile scam.
Never was a quitter,
tasty like a raindrop,
she's got the look.

Heavenly bound
cause heaven's got a number
when she's spinning me around,
kissing is a colour.
Her loving is a wild dog,
she's got the look

She's got the look.
She's got the look.
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue.
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
and I go: la la la la la
she's got the look

Fire in the ice
naked to the t-bone
is a lover's disguise.
Banging on the head drum,
shaking like a mad bull,
she's got the look.

Swaying to the band,
moving like a hammer
she's a miracle man.
Loving is the ocean,
kissing is the wet sand,
she's got the look

She's got the look.
She's got the look.
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue.
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
and I go: la la la la la
she's got the look

walking like a man,
hitting like a hammer,
she's a juvenile scam.
Never was a quitter,
tasty like a raindrop,
she's got the look.

And she goes: na na na na na na na na.

She's got the look.
She's got the look.
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue.
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
and I go: la la la la la
she's got the look

a me è sempre piaciuta Run To You, oltre a
Listen to your heart e crush boom bang

Crash! Boom! Bang! (1994) > Run To You

Baby, sometimes I feel like dying,
driving while I'm closing my eyes.
Moving in and out of hiding,
trying to catch some truth in my life.
Watching your stars and your moonlight,
come tumbling down from the sky.
Take it now.

I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna come to you,
I wanna find you in everything that I do.
I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna count on you,
I'm gonna follow. Baby, what else can I do?

Sunday morning, my town is sleeping.
Lying all alone in my bed,
there's not a sound, I can't help but listening.
Wishing I was somewhere else instead.
But sometimes they're too hard to handle,
these voices inside my head.
Listen now.

I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna come to you,
I wanna find you in everything that I do.
I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna count on you,
I'm gonna follow. Baby, what else can I do?

Take a walk inside my dream:
A church, a lonely road.
All the people come and go and come and go.

I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna come to you.
Do it now!
I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna count on you.

I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna come to you,
I wanna find you in everything that I do.
I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna count on you,
I'm gonna follow. Baby, what else can I do?

si, è un brano molto bello, sorretto anche da un videoclip
dal vivo perfetto, con un' esecuzione molto sentita

Che bravi i Roxette..la mia preferita in assoluto è It Must Have Been Love..quella che avete citato!!è bellissima!


It must have been love
but it's over now.
It must have been good
but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love
but it's over now.
From the moment we touched
'til the time had run out

Ma è vero che i Roxette si sono sciolti a causa dei problemi di salute della cantante?
Spero non sia così perché mi piacciono molto le loro canzoni, su tutte Queen Of Rain (stranamente esclusa dal loro Greatest Hits) e Joyride, con un bel riffone di chitarra!
