    Per Gessle is one of my favorite songwriters. Makes catchy songs. Marie had a beautiful voice, so it's no surprise they had success.

    Thanks for all this nostalgia. My husband and I have grown up with Roxette since we left school. We had their songs played at our wedding in 1997. We're currently having a date night and are listening to their music as it makes us reminisce. We absolutely love them and have had Roxette in our lives since we met at school in 1988. Big L to all. Xx

      @@AlmostDon we had an awesome evening thanks, going over old times😊 We don't have one particular favourite but The Look has to be the one we play most. I remember when we went on honeymoon to Cuba in August 1997 and were going on a trip somewhere in a minibus and Listen to Your Heart came on the Radio in Spanish, which was a real surprise. Also in February 1999 just after having our son, I was listening to the radio in hospital and that was the first time I heard I Wish I Could Fly. We've had so many great memories with Roxette over the last 34 years.

    Just watched your Roxette look back. Really well done and I enjoyed your passion and care for the band. I first heard of Roxette like many in America with The Look. I really loved Dangerous and Listen to Your Heart which came out when I was in high school. I followed them all the rest of the time but lost track of them with some of the albums you brought up. Thank you for doing such a good job on this. It’s sad that Maria is gone and thankful for the beautiful music she left us. Per and her were such a great match.

    Nice job. I just want to add that in 1996 roxette released "Baladas en español" (Ballads in spanish). It was very successful in Spain and Latin America with songs like "Un día sin tí" (Spending my time), "Habla el corazón" (Listen to your heart) and "Soy una mujer" (Fading like a flower). They also recordered "Tu no me comprendes" (You don't understand me from 1995) but it didn't make the album. In 2021, Per released some previously unreleased songs, including "Tu no me comprendes". Here is the 1996 single "Un día sin tí", where Marie tries to hide her 2nd pregnancy :P czcams.com/video/MB7ZmnG3q3w/video.html

    Per is actually pronounced just like 'pair'. The only difference from English is that the 'r' is trilled with the tip of the tongue. Or if you say it in Per's own south-western dialect (halländska), you almost don't pronounce the 'r' at all. Maybe with just a small hint of a guttural 'r'.
