Nice! I wrote this for the Room Service-album. You can hear a lot of Oasis-influences here. I’m doing the powerchords on the choruses and the piano and the strings. MP plays fantastic electric guitar on this. Beautiful.”īla Bla Bla Bla Bla (You Broke My Heart) (demo): “This is also much better as a demo. This version is from the Small Town Talk-album and I love Ola’s 12-string Rickenbacker-melody. I just found a demo from June 2000 with Marie singing it. Jonas Åkerlund directed the video, Marie looked amazing and I had hot pants!”īeautiful Things: ”It’s really nice, Marie wrote the wonderful music to my lyrics.”īeing With You: ”I wrote this one for Roxette in 1997.
Still do.”Ī Thing About You: ”Nice one, don’t you think? This was one of eight songs I wrote for The Ballad Hits + The Pop Hits compilations late 2001/early 2002. I always loved the Paris Sisters version of that song. To combine it with “I love how you love me”. Made for Travelling and will stay there.”Īnyone (demo): ”This was my first intention writing “Anyone”. For some reason it fit my voice quite well. Marie and Helena are singing the backing vocals. Then I did a new demo in 2004.”Īngel Passing: ”Always loved this one. But that’s a different story.” ”I wrote this one for Roxette’s Have A Nice Day-album in 1998. Not to be confused with Marie’s music to my ATLTK-lyrics. Then I gave up the music, gave up most of the lyrics, re-wrote everything and made a great demo with Chris at the AGM Studio in 2010. Then there was a second try with just a piano in 2004. This must be end of the 90’s or maybe early 00’s, can’t remember.”Īlways The Last to Know (demo – Per: 1998 2004): ”This is my very first demo (or a short part of it….) of Always The Last To Know. Sometimes she asks for some lyrics to work with and I gave her “Always the last to know” since I’m very fond of them. Recorded May 1995.”Īlways The Last to Know (Marie): ”This is Marie’s demo and her music. MP and me on guitars, MP on bass and the mighty Mike South on drums. Or at least one.”Īlways Breaking My Heart (demo): ”The power pop days. I think I wrote it for Roxette but we had a break for a while. Ain’t life strange?”Īlways Breaking My Heart (Belinda Carlisle version): ”Belinda recorded this. That’s why the “Hocus Pocus”-reference are in the lyrics. So we wound up in the Super Mario Bros-movie (starring Dennis Hopper and Bob Hoskins) instead.
THE USED VULNERABLE II TRACKLIST MOVIE
Or maybe it was Greenland.” ”Yep, this one was written for the movie “Hocus Pocus” (starring Bette Midler if I remember things right) but in the end the producers wanted an En Vogue-track instead to be the main theme. Anyway, we got there….and the film turned out to be ridiculous (so thought Dennis Hopper by the way… I met him at a Formula 1 race many years ago discussing this…) but the song isn’t that bad…… We changed the title to “Almost unreal” to get rid of the Hocus Pocus-connection. Someone suggested we should try to get it into the Dennis Hopper/Bob Hoskins-film “Super Mario Bros” which I thought was a so-so idea but hey….I’m from Furet…. So we withdrew and found ourselves with a finished track (most of it recorded in London) but no movie. But suddenly the US girlband “En Vogue” got involved in the HP-project and did the main song instead. So I wrote this one and did the demo with MP at the Tits&Ass palace in Halmstad. There’s a couple of demos around as well…”Īlmost Unreal: ”Roxette got a request to make the theme song for a Bette Midler-movie called “Hocus Pocus” back in 1993. Wound up as a bonus track on SOAP instead if I remember things right…. Nice.”Ī Girl Like You: ”An old song from 1998 I wrote for Rox but we never recorded it.
