Beautiful Life
OK, I was thinking of giving that site my personal (senseless) note, so I decided adding special comments to each song I show up. Put something in your ear if you don't want to hear it, or just read on. To this song: After years abstinence from Ace of Base I heard this song and saw a clip on TV. I thought: Wow. This band's still alive? Well, it was! And a from that time on growing desire for Ace of Base was woken up again...
You can do what you want, just cease the day
What you're doing tomorrow's gonna come your way
Don't you ever consider giving up
You'll find, ooh
Chorus:
It's a beautiful life, ooh
It's a beautiful life, ooh
I't a beautiful life, ooh
I just wanna be here beside you
And stay until the break of dawn
Take a walk in the park when you feel down
There's so many things there, that's gonna lift you up
See the nature in bloom, a laughing child
Such a dream, ooh
Chorus
Oh yeah, allright
I just wanna be here beside you
And stay until the break of dawn
You're looking for somewhere to belong
Keep standing all alone
For someone to guide you on your way
For now and forever
Chorus
OK, take me back to the top
Never gonna say I'm sorry
My comment: This is the sort of song everybody knows, but only some know the title. It has a great rythm and a text to really think about. I heard the first beat, and..I just got to raise my arms and dance :)
Chorus:
I'm never gonna say I'm sorry
I'm a clown for everyone
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always here like a sun
I'm never gonna say I'm sorry
I'm a clown for everyone
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always here like a sun
I'm a looser, that is a fact for sure
I'm happy even if you don't want
To invite me out for a dance tonight
I'm not normal, I know it, I don't care
Chorus
Like a ghost I follow your steps so true
You don't have to bribe me or fill me up
Give me just a minute to shine with you
I can make you so happy, make you laugh
I'm never gonna say I'm sorry
For the essence of my soul
There's so many ways to change my life
Cause I want to, ooh
I'm like a clown,I'm fun for everyone(Repeat twice)
Chorus 1
I'm never gonna say I'm sorry, I'm a clown for everyone
OK, take me back to the top
Lucky Love
My comment: What shall I say about this one? A song about love with the usual AoB-trademark funny rythm.
Chorus:
Lucky love belongs in teenage heaven I know (I know)
Cause I've been there with you tonight
Lucky Love belongs in teenage heaven I know (I know)
Cause I've been there with you tonight
I believe life could be paradise once again
And the love we thought we lost is sleeping within
Close your eyes, it's something for you
Chorus 2:
Lucky love belongs in teenage heaven I know (I know)
Cause I've been there with you tonight
Lucky love belongs in teenage heaven I know (I know)
I'm a prisoner of hope I know
We are young and we are old, we're fallin' like leaves
And your heart's so full of soul, it makes me believe
Once again, it's something for you
Chorus 2
A bridge over time is what you need to see the light
To see the light, ooh
Chorus 2
OK, take me back to the top
Edge of Heaven
Ballads are very rare on Ace of Base stuff, but this is one. A very nice one, to be sure. Yeah, but I as usual can't understand the texts sense on some lines. The wheels which are turning till eternity are the wheels of time, right? Maybe I don't need to think about it. Just lay down and enjoy
Fire, I can see it burning so brightly
Fire, I can see it's calling out to me
And as the sun goes down
It starts to paint a picture
Of an ancient town
So far away, across the endless sea
Chorus:
Lead me to the light
And take me to the edge of heaven
I'm standing in the night
And looking for the edge of heaven
We'll be touching the edge of heaven
Time, close your eyes, see dreams of tomorrow
Time, the wheels are turning till eternity
And as the darkness comes
I start to see a picture
Of a lonely man
So clearly now, reaching out for me
Chorus twice
OK, take me back to the top
Strange Ways
My comment (I won't stop..): Jenny writes in the booklet, she found inspiration for that song in Jerusalem. If you look and listen real close to the text, you'll get that indeed it's about the world and it's different religions that cross.
Chorus:
I've got strange ways
But it won't take long my friend
I'm telling you someday baby I'll be gone
I've got strange ways
But it won't take long my friend
I'm telling you someday baby I'll be back again
I've got no one
But it won't take long my friend
I'm telling you someday baby I'll be gone.
God bless you
For being by my side when I fell through
You could hear me
You've internet gateways through my world
God bless you
I'm feeling all the force you're closing in
Take it easy
You'll dock at my side when I'm on fire
Chorus
Sometimes I lose it, the right way I'm going
But I do hope you follow on the way
God bless you
For being by my side when I fell through
You could hear me
You've internet gateways through my world
You don't know it
You're turning all this stone into a heart
I can see you
I see you fighting the fire when I burn
I have gone
I'm telling you someday baby I'll be gone
I have gone
I'm telling you someday baby I'll be back
I have gone
I'm telling you someday baby I'll be gone
I have gone
I'm telling you someday baby I'll be back
Chorus
OK, take me back to the top
Ravine
My comment: This is really one of the hardest to figure out. I think it's about the girls relationship to god. Once I had phones on my ears and sang this song on a microphone, while my parents listened..
Have you heard, have you heard
'bout this girl who was ripped up by her roots?
Wanna know what she learned?
Like humility: You win when you lose
I have learnt, I have learnt:
The most horrifying nights have an end
I was hurt, I was lost
In the dark I found a way to a friend
Chorus:
I'm standing here in my ravine
Once again I see a piece of the sky
And my joy'll never be denied
Cause I was meant to be here
The only place on earth where you are near
Where you are near
Was a flower so frail
And I let the trees grow wild around me
Grew so high, hit the sky
Shaded everything I needed to see
Then one night someone came
Took a knife and ripped me up by my roots
Tossed astray, far away
In my darkest night I started to pray
Chorus
Why do you, why do you ask
Why I'm not blaming my god?
I tell you, I tell you what
He was the only one there
Chorus twice
OK, take me back to the top
Perfect World
This in one of my favourites, with the rythm and the text. You can hear one of Ace of Base's favourite topic in there: Making the world better. I got stuck with the second verse..
They say the time has come for us to start again
I believe that's true
They say the time has come for us to make amends
And I believe that, too
Why, tell me why
Is it all so hard to find?
I pray each day
Chorus:
For a perfect world
Where children are laughing
Lovers romancing
Time stands still
In a perfect world
There's nothing to cry for
No one to die for
Wonderful, in a perfect world
Our fathers father say that things were better then
How easy they forget
On every page in every book of history
A thousand tears were shed
There's hope in our hearts
And love in our eyes
Day after day I keep searching
Why, tell me why
Is it all so hard to find
I pray each day
Chorus
Travelling across the seven seas to be with you
Passion and desire will see me through
The road that I must travel will wind and curl
You're all I ever needed in a perfect world
Chorus
OK, take me back to the top
Angel Eyes
My comment: Here's another love ballad. Nothing to say, (never!) just enjoy.
I know that I'm not the first one
You had love in your path before me
But when your lips touched my lips it felt
Like I was kissing destiny
Chorus:
Angel eyes, with your angel eyes
Will you always be there to hold me
Angel eyes, I'm satisfied
I don't want to hear your story
Cause I can see the things I really want to see
I'm in love
I believe in what I'm feeling
I'd give everything up just for you
Love is devoted to those who see
At the last dance you dance with the truth
Chorus 2:
Angel eyes, with your angel eyes
Will you always be there to hold me
Angel eyes, I'm satisfied
I don't want to hear your story
Cause I can see the things I really want to see
In your eyes
Angel eyes
Just want you here to hold me
Chorus
OK, take me back to the top
Whispers in Blindness
As I understood, this song is about hating someone for being a liar..but well, check it out on your own.
Darling you were looking good
When you came to me and asked for a dance
And I said: We can dance
I felt like a queen
Swedish summernights are hot
And the trees can talk
We lay on the grass
So easily, so blessed
Whispers in blindness
And I didn't hold you back
Chorus:
I'm talking about it, babe
Cause you've been teasing me
I'm talking about it
Cause you are bad right through
Stay with me
And I shall want no other love
Stay with me
Another love, another lie
Stay with me
And I shall want no other love
(And you were talking so sweet)
But you were touching and teasing
I can hear the soft bells ring
(Only once my dear)
Through a thousand years
They call up to me
They say it's only once
(Only once my dear)
In a live we loved
(Repeat)
Now I've had the honour too
Chorus
You were holding my hand
You were kissing my skin
You were holding my hand
You were kissing my skin
Chorus
Stay with me
Through the whispering
Stay with me
Only once my dear
Stay with me
Through the whispering
But you were touching and teasing
(Repeat till fade)
OK, take me back to the top
My Dejavu
My comment: This song is just a great one to dance and sing and go around and rock! It's my personal #2 after "Que Sera" The text is rather funny and (!) romantic. And just check out this guitar...
Chorus:
My dejavu
Everything is up to you
If you do want me you know where to search
We've got the magic back again
My dejavu
Everything is up to you
If you do want me you know where to search
I wanna see you dancing naked
I wanna see you touch the moon
Cause when I try to reach your fingers you just vanish into air
I wanna feel you with my senses cause I'm almost sure the texture of
your skin
Is gonna tell me who you are
My dejavu, you're my obsession
My dejavu, it's always you
Chorus
I wanna hold you like I used to
I wanna feel you in my blood
I wonder why I do confess this to myself all the time
I know the time is working against us but I'll long for you the rest
of my whole life
Like a prisoner of hope
My dejavu, you're my obsession
My dejavu, it's always you
Chorus
I have tried again to know you
To get you off my mind
It feels like going back in time, and snap! I see your figure once
again
Repeat bridge and chorus till fade
OK, take me back to the top
You and I
My comment: When I listened the album over and got to song 11, I experienced a for me new area of Ace of Base: Techno and techno crossover. Usually techno doesn't drive me crazy of joy, and I first had to get used to that song, but then I thought it was pretty great, oh, ooh, yeah yeah...
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah...
You make me come alive
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah...
At talla paron...
Cause my eyes can't see the why
You make me come alive
Someone maybe try to lay hurt on you
I will hunt them down and blow them away
And the city prays at your feet tonight, ooh
Chorus:
You and I we're only animals
Live and die like burning candles, yeah
You and I diggin' a dirty groove
Cause we've got none to prove
And nothing left to lose
You and I we're like the perfect team
You and I live in an orange dream
You and I, we're up against the wall
We got to beat them all
To be invincible
Will I ever be on my own again?
Baby you got eyes that shine in the dark
Let the beat go on in the world tonight, ooh
Chorus
Att palla paron...
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah...
Cause my eyes can't see the why
Cause we've got none to prove
You and I
Chorus 2:
You and I don't care what people say
You and I are living day to day
Never die, our love's imortalized
I'm hypersensitized
You make me come alive, yeah
OK, take me back to the top
Wave Wet Sand
One of Linns songs (Linn is the one with the blond hair and the high pitched voice, isn't she?) about being reliable. I like the sea context.
You are as reliable as a painting in wave wet sand
I look in your eyes and I can't see a thing
That usually means attraction to me
I read all the books about love I could find
And I found not one, no, not one word 'bout mine
Chorus:
Cause you are reliable like a painting in wave wet sand
You're coming and you're going like the water, you'll never end
Cause you are reliable like a painting in wave wet sand
And I'm just another piece of an island you reach for your hand
Feel my doubts when you are in my arms
Darling if you know that it's love and not charm
You must tell me so or go elsewhere to hunt
Chorus
Your love...
I'm just another piece of an island
I'm just another piece of an island
I can't close my ears when I hear that you call
I don't want to fear every tear that could fall
I'll go on my own and pass people with doubts
My goal is to find just a piece of your love
You are like the water
(Your love is, your love is like the water)
You, you are my sore
And you know you are my sore
I'm just another piece of an island...
Chorus till fade
OK, take me back to the top
Que Sera
My absolutely #1, even my dad liked it. It's pretty sad, but has a cool rythm to get in your brain. Que sera..I think it does mean: What ever will be, will be. (At least Ulf wrote it into the booklet...) Close your eyes, listen and enjoy.
It's a lonely live, living on my own
They call to her from across the street
But they don't know her name
She's in the wrong place
At the wrong time
Who's to blame?
She wonders how to change the live she's living
She wonders if she'll ever get away
As far as I can see
The writings on the wall
There's no return
We live, we learn
The game goes on and on and...
Chorus:
Que sera
I like you but I don't really wanna take you home
Que sera
It's a lonely live, living on my own
Que sera
What's it gonna be
What's it gonna be
She left her home when she was seventeen
Simply disappeared in the rain
Cause there was bad time
So it was high time
She knew she'd do it again
She wonders how she's going to make a living
She wonders if she'll make it through the day
As far as I can see
I've seen it all before
A lonely girl
In a big, bad world
The game goes on and on and...
Chorus
I like you but I don't really wanna take you home
It's a lonely live, living on my own
Chorus
OK, take me back to the top
Just an Image
I got stuck with that song. It's pretty sad, once you got the text (which is obviously written down here) The girl wants to forget something about a man. A man called Mr Pain..perhaps I get this wrong. Email me your opinion if you want.
I'm driving through the night
I'm driving through the rain
The engine roars
I'm on my way from Mr Pain
My eyes keep seeing what
My mind wants to forget
Those sequences, they rock'n roll inside my head
Over and over and over again
I concentrate harder and harder and then...
Chorus:
You are just an image
That I can't see
You are not for real, you are not for real
You turn into a picture of somebody
That I can't see
Someone I don't know
(Someone I don't feel)
The wolfs cry out tonight
I see your broken line
The sun will rise
Without a love, without a smile
I always think about
The way you had to leave
I close my eyes, cause I was with you by that time
Faster and faster and faster ahead
As if you were waiting for me down the way
Chorus
You turn into a picture of somebody
Someone I don't know
Someone
You are just an image
You are not for real
You turn into a picture of somebody
Hey...
Faster and faster and faster ahead
As if you were waiting for me down the way
I have never seen you lying on the floor
Crying, needing more
(Repeat till fade)
OK, take me back to the top
Experience Pearls
One of Jennys ballads, wonderful. I liked it from the first listen on. It's about helping a boy out who broke with his earlier girlfriend I think...and Jenny sings she wants to turn his tears into pearls
Give me all your tears
Let me turn them to pearls
Let me turn all the tears
That you have cried into pearls
Hand them over to me
I'm gonna keep
keep them for you
I want to hold you
I want to kiss you
I want to mend what is broken
Love me the way that you loved her (please)
Cause now I'm giving it all
Chorus:
And so I made up my mind
I'm gonna be yours this time
I'm gonna give all I've got
And get your love in return
And so I made my mind
I'm gonna be yours this time
I'm gonna teach you to trust
And learn how to burn experience pearls
When sand strikes up in your eyes
I will cover your face (cover your face)
I'll plant your desert with roses
And I'm gonna keep
Keep them for you
Chorus
I'll wear your pearls more precious than silver
I'll wear your pearls so close to my skin
I'd tear myself apart just to get you
(I'd tear myself apart just to get you)
And so I made up my mind...
Chorus
OK, take me back to the top
Blooming 18
My personal #3, so funny! They managed to let Jennys voice sound like that of a angry mother. Great! You'll get stuck with that ear-dancing rythm, and laugh about the troubles being 18.
Reality, reality, reality is always...
You tatooed yourself
What a piece of art
You already broke your mothers heart
When I was in your age, working my ass off
Your generation's soft
Chorus:
Reality is always such a drag
For barely blooming eighteens
The barely blooming eighteen wants to know
What's keeping her from searching?
You cannot pierce that
And you're dressed to tight
Got alot to learn 'bout wrong and right
So dye your hair! Dad's gonna wash it out
Come on, watch you mouth
Chorus 2:
Reality is always such a drag
For barely blooming eighteens
The barely blooming eighteen wants to know
What's hiding in the shadows?
Reality, reality, reality is always...
Chorus 1
You cannot pierce that
And you're dressed to tight
Got alot to learn 'bout wrong and right
So dye your hair! Dad's gonna wash it out
Come on, watch you mouth

We live in a free world
I whistle down the wind
Carry on smiling
And the world will smile with you
Life is a flower
So precious in your hand
Carry on smiling
And the world will smile with you
When many races run
And the day is closing in
I don't care 'bout the world
I'm living for the light
Don't cry for me today, ooh
Chorus
I cannot be your judge
Mr Jailer is your host
He's keeping you inside
And hides you from the world
No catcher in the rye can help you from yourself
Chorus
Please, Mr Agony, release them for a while
Learn then the consequence of living without life
Chorus

Always Have, Always Will
My comment: This song delivers a 60s feeling somehow..pretty fine. You'll love the chorus. Even when I didn't show...
Always have, always will...
I was mesmerised when I first met you
I wouldn't let myself believe
That you could step out of my wildest dream
But you didn't know
That secret part of me
Until we kissed and made it open up so easily
Chorus:
I always have
(Even when I didn't show)
I always will
You know that I just wanna touch you
Whenever you're close to me
I always have
(Doesn't matter where we go)
I always will
You know that I just wanna show you
Just how much you mean to me
Always have, always will...
Everything that you give into
Everything you'll ever need
Is locked up somewhere deep inside of me
But you gotta know
But more importantly
You've got to stay and hold me while we live this fantasy
Chorus
Sometimes we try too hard to please
We should let love come naturally
And sometimes I don't know
Just what you really do to me
That is ok
Cause it's a part of the mystery
Chorus
OK, take me back to Cruel Summer Index
OK, take me back to the top
Cruel Summer
My comment: One of the first newly Ace of Base songs I listened. Hot summer. Cruel summer... Get something cool on your forehead and dance :)
Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying
What did they say?
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got right out of hand
Chorus:
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now they're gone
You're not the only one
The city is crowded, my friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I gotta get up and go
And go...
Chorus till fade
OK, take me back to Cruel Summer Index
OK, take me back to the top
Adventures in Paradise
My comment: Give me what I need tonight ooh, adventures in paradise...This song actually is built up on three different choruses, and one verse. Learning how to sing it is not very hard, and you'll love this paradise melody. The rythm just stays in your ear for hours, be warned *g* I esspecially like the beginning rythm beats, I could imagine the paradise directly :)
Chorus 1:
We wanna be alone tonight
'til early in the morning light
Out in the open you are here
Adventures in paradise
Chorus 2:
We wanna be alone tonight
'til early in the morning light
Exploring what the nature brings
Adventures in paradise
Chorus 3:
Oh, give me what I need tonight
Oh, you know what I want tonight
Oh, give me what I need tonight
Adventures in paradise
Chorus 2
Chorus 3 twice
When the moon is at its height
And nobody is in sight
We're hiding from the world we used to like
And will stories then be told
Of what we did here tonight
You will always be my number one
Chorus 3 till fade
OK, take me back to Cruel Summer Index
OK, take me back to the top
Captain Nemo
My comment: "Crazy title!" I murmured and thought it would be a funny song about Jules Verne's hero of heroes. Wrong, wrong, WRONG! This was a strange beautiful ballad...I instantly had a crush on it. My favourite song from that album, I decided. The melody is so sad, you just wanna lay down and cry. But actually it isn't about anything love or something else sad but Captain Nemo. So, lay down, close your eyes, sing along, listen to his radar..and enjoy
Captain Nemo is too good for you and me
Take a voyage to the bottom of the sea
He's a riddle, you'll see
In the middle of the sea
If you ask him things 'bout life then he will say:
Chorus 1:
Oh no, I'm far to continental for mankind
I don't interfere in your life
See me as a searcher with the answers to your world
Under the sea
Captain Nemo knows the world, but we don't know
What control of light and darkness means he'll show
If we come in peace at heart
He may help us to restart
What went wrong so long ago from down below
Chorus 1
See him as a searcher with the answers to mankind, hmm
He's far too continental
Though he's wiser than all men
He is curious about the plan
Violated by the men, the master plan
Chorus 2:
Oh no, he's far too continental for mankind
He don't interfere in your life
See him as a searcher with the answers to your world
Under the sea
Chorus 2
Oh no, he's far to continental for mankind
Under the sea
OK, take me back to Cruel Summer Index
OK, take me back to the top
Cecilia
My comment: You know "Cecilia" by Simon and Garfunkel? Of course you do. Everybody knows that song! Well, Ace of Base made use of that fact and composed some sort of sequel. Just funny!
Mmh, this is a song about a well known girl.
Who was she?
We'll never know the answer to that question
Chorus:
Cecilia, walk in the light
Cecilia, you're gonna live forever
According to a well known song
Cecilia, walk in the light
Cecilia, did you come home?
And to whom?
Simon and Garfunkel had a little problem
It was something about their hearts, you used to break them
And making them down on their knees on and on again
Chorus
Romeo and Juliet had another story
But they were a single pair, not free like you
Still they got a tragical end
So many years ago
Life in itself can't hurt
Cecilia, walk in the light
Cecilia, did you come home?
And to whom?
Passion changes
But they'll still remember you
I say they loved you
And they would do the same for you today
We'll never know the answer to that question
Chorus
I've been trying
To overcome the mental blocks I've got
If they loved you
Why didn't you respond to all their pleas?
I wonder, I wonder
OK, take me back to Cruel Summer Index
OK, take me back to the top
Doctor Sun
My comment: Guess who is the famous Dr Sun...dadada...great song. I like the beginning rythm pulling through the entire song. Reggae just rules! Jonas is right at all: This song is about vacation, and brings a Jamaica feeling. It's my personal #3 after "Captain Nemo" and "Travel to Romantis".
Chorus:
I don't wanna be alone on the beach, no
Give me Dr Sun
He's my man
I don't wanna be alone on the beach, no
Angel of the night
Give him to me
I believe him
To let a little sunshine in my life
I believe in him and me
My vacation
Is gonna be a pleasant memory
I will have him everyday
I'm gonna do what's good for me
I'm gonna meet Dr Sun
Liasson dangerous for me
I share it with the cream of girls
Who's the worst
In seeking Dr Sun?
Chorus
I could never live without him, I can't stand it
I could never do without it, I can't stand it
(Repeat)
Guess who
Is the famous Dr Sun...
Chorus till fade
OK, take me back to Cruel Summer Index
OK, take me back to the top
Don't go away
My comment: This is a wonderful ballad with rock elements such as a "wah wah" sound rythm (As Jonas says)Honest, I could listen to that for hours! My personal #6
One step hesitation
One step into the night
Don't mind the weather
It's raining in my heart tonight
Much more to living
Two wrongs don't make a right
You're gonna regret it
When you're looking back on your life
Chorus:
Don't go away
Make the most of this love I'm giving
Don't go away
Better take another look at my face
You can be what you wanna be
But don't go away
Some dream of fortune
Others dream of fame
Seconds after leaving
Life'll never be the same
Fell for temptation
It didn't mean a thing
We'll last forever
If we turn around once again
Chorus
Do you wanna be more than a picture
Hanging on the wall?
Something to remind me of how it all went wrong
Do you wanna be more than a number
Forgotten in a book?
Holding something special
So take another look
You're gonna regret it

Donnie
My comment: Once again, like in "Always have, always will" there comes alot of 60s feeling. You feel like you're listening to a forgotten (and really really funny) song by Abba. The country actually is right, but it's Ace of Base, not Abba :)
Donnie's got a secret and you know it
He was yours
In the summertime yeah
About ten years ago
He promised you to stay forever
Live with you
It's so bitter sweet now
When you know what you lost
Chorus:
Donnie was the boy you always wanted by your side
Donnie was the boy your girlfriends fell for one by one
Donnie was the boy you always wanted, day and night
But Donnie had a girlfriend tender, sexy, sweet and blond
In the summertime, yeah...
In the summertime, life was easy
On the beach you had him long ago
Chorus
He's always in your mind, the season changes
Years went by
But that chapter of love
Stays unfinished for you
Keep on dancing through your new life, maybe
Make a move
Make him see you again
As the flower you are
Chorus
In the summertime yeah...
In the summertime life was easy
On the beach you had him long ago
(Repeat)

Everytime it rains
My comment: I got this song very late. It's another very very sad and beautiful ballad with Linn as front vocal. If you have a soft heart, this is your song to listen to.
I see dark clouds out my window
I know the storm is coming any minute
And the thunder just confirms my fears
And I know the tears are in there
I'll be crying, unable to stop
Look, here comes the very first drop
Chorus:
Cause everytime it rains
I fall to pieces
So many memories the rain releases
I feel you
I taste you
I cannot forget
Everytime it rains I get wet
Darling I'm still in love with you
As time passes it just intensifies
I know I'll never be with you again
I'll never find another with that kindness in his eyes
I'll be crying, unable to stop
Look, here comes the very first drop
Chorus
On sunny days I'm alright
I walk in the light
And I try not to think about
The love I live without
Chorus till fade

He Decides
My comment: I love reggae, and this song has indeed ALOT of reggae. We can combinate that I love this song. It's my personal #5
Can't you hear them whispering around you all the time?
Can't you tell the difference between things when you're in love?
I hear your voice is trembling everytime when he's around
Your detached engagements in the things I say means love, ooh
Chorus:
He decides wether you should smile
Wether you should cry
Wether you should be happy
He decides wether you should smile
Wether you should cry
Wether you should be sad
If he doesn't love you, you're afraid you can't go on
Living without loving never makes a person strong, no
If he really loves you let him show you that instead
I'll be here with you cause I know that you're afraid of love
Chorus
You never change my mind, my friend
Don't let this feeling go
This love might change your world around
In time yu'll have to know
He decides...
Chorus till end
OK, take me back to Cruel Summer Index
OK, take me back to the top
I pray
My comment: This song somehow reminds me of "Perfect World" from The Bridge, but it's still totally different. Just listen...
When I was young I dreamed about
Oh, so many places
When I was young I never thought I'd be afraid
The years go by and with it come
Oh, so many changes
You know what I mean
Chorus:
I pray
There's another day
Sunshine on the morning water
What a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray
There'll be an answer
(There's an answer)
I pray
And in my youth I realised: Nothing lasts forever
I find myself remembering those happy days
Follow me and I'll show you all the colors of the rainbow
You know what I mean
Chorus
Don't wait
Don't be late
You don't have a second left to hesitate
Walk, talk
Do it all
Nothing you can do will break the fall
Turn and turn
Tell me: What are you seeing?
Clear your mind
If you want to be free
Be there
Turn around expectations
Say goodbye to complications
Be there
Be there
Chorus
I pray...

Tokyo Girl
My comment: In Tokyo, sweet as a baby...No, this song has the moves to rule the world! The a-little-bit-techno rythm is just great, and either you have to sing or to dance, or both :) My personal #4
Chorus 1:
Tokyo Girl, Tokyo Girl
You've got the moves to rule the world
That cute inscrutability
Tokyo Girl, you're a mystery
Chorus 2:
Tokyo Girl, Tokyo Girl
Shaking up hearts around the world
You can't forget that stunning face
Smiling at you, it's your destiny
She's got the face as sweet as a baby
Elegant taste and money to burn
Her 'yes' is 'no', 'no' is a 'maybe'
Her language is so hard to learn
Chorus 1
In Tokyo...
Though there's a fire burns inside her
Outside is ivory, silk and ice
Nothing she wants is denied her
You'd better take my advice
Many have tried to get near her
Into the heart of Tokyo
Found nothing there but a mirror
She's no one you'll ever know
Chorus 1
In Tokyo...
She's got the face as sweet as a baby
Elegant taste and money to burn
Her 'yes' is 'no', 'no' is a 'maybe'
Her language is so hard to learn

Sweet as a baby...

Travel to Romantis
My comment: Make sure you don't hear that song to often - you'll get to late that you're dependend on it! It's just GREAT, this reggae rythm...my personal #2
Funny how everything changes for me
Memories take me away
Each time I open the door to my room
Where I must stay in all day
I don't want to be here
I'm much to tired
So I close my eyes and snap I'm with you
We are on vacation
You and me together
Laying in the sunshine
Chorus:
I travel to Romantis
I travel to Romantis
Where nothing 'bout the blue skies will tell me that the time flies
I travel to Romantis
Everytime I think of you
You're giving me my life back
I travel to Romantis
One day I'll give you myself in a ring
Bounded by law and by heart
It's you and me against the world
That is the way it should be
I don't want to be here
I'm much to tired
So I close my eyes and snap I'm with you
We are on vacation
You and me together
Laying in the sunshine
Chorus
You are the best that has happened to me
Please god, let it be
Chorus till fade

Whenever you're near me
My comment: "What?" I thought. "Another version of Life is a Flower?" I checked the lyric out, yes the tune was right. So I got it. I thought I could sing it instantly but as the vocal changed (It's Linn who sings this time) so did the rythm a bit.
Chorus:
Whenever you're near me
I give you everything I have
Someone to believe in
When things are good or when they're bad
You know how to please me
Like nobody can
Someone to believe in
Be my lover be my friend
When every race is run and the day is closing in
I feel the need to hold you
Let the night begin
Come softly to me, show me why...
Chorus
I cannot wait to feel the beating of your heart
The days are long and they're just keeping us apart
Come softly to me, show me why...
Chorus
Love is the reason we can feel this way inside
Turning the world around and making us wild
Love is the music beating in our hearts tonight
Lighting the way to take us deeper inside

No good Lover
My comment: I especially like the panflute-like beginning of that song, and Jennys message is funny, but firmly
Oh yeah
He's a no good lover
Baby I tried him out
He's handsome and he knows how to use it
And he doesn't take a no for an answer
Like a catcher in the rye he nags till you die
His flatter makes you fall
But don't expect to have a ball
Chorus:
He's a no good lover
Baby I tried him out
He's - na na na na na
He's a no good lover
Baby I tried him out
He's na na na na na
On the beach you see him showing of badly
With a golden look he conquers your best friend
And she has to say yes to her new excess
Americas by far
The most miserable man
Chorus
He's a no good lover
Na na na na na
He's a no good lover
Baby I tried him out
He is a no good lover

Into the night of Blue
My comment: A very fine bonustrack I got through a good friend. Here is alot of nice, joyful reggae, in strange contrast to the depressing text
Into the night of blue
Into the night of blue...
Haven't heard your voice for a long, long time
Still you have me hanging on the line
Still thinking 'bout you
Haven't seen a smile upon my face
And I haven't slept a night for days
I go, I go
Chorus:
Into the night of blue
You don't know what I'm going through
Life is empty and sad without you
I'm living lonely, where's my baby?
Into the night of blue
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Life is empty and sad without you
I'm living lonely, where's my baby?
In my mind are pictures of the past
Telling me a story meant to last
Still holding onto
Days out on the beach out in the sun
Nights when I was still your only one
Now I go, I go
Chorus
Funny how these memories only
Lead me back to you
They lead me back to you
I go, I go...
Haven't heard your voice for a long, long time
Still you have me hanging on the line
Now I go, I go...
Chorus
Into the night of blue...

Love for Sale
My comment: That is a hard one. The text is unmistakable, and you'll have to think about it. And the music..it isn't techno nor reggae, but it adds some strange atmosphere.
If you walk in the red light at night
In the black velvet hour
If you look you'll see their delights
They're the purest of flowers
Chorus:
They've got love for sale
The money they earn when everybody wants them
Money for pleasure, pleasure and pain
They've got love for sale
Money and sex, addicted to drugs
Pleasure and pain, together they walks
Money and sex, addicted to drugs
Pleasure and pain, together they walks
What they get is addicted to drugs
To ease all their sorrows
What they get is addicted to drugs
To ease all their sorrows
Chorus
Illusions for your mind
They're just illusions for your mind
(Repeat)
Money for pleasure, pleasure and pain
They've got love for sale
Money and sex, addicted to drugs
Pleasure and pain, together they walks
Money and sex, addicted to drugs
Pleasure and pain, together they walks
Chorus
Illusions for your mind
They're just illusions for your mind...

All that She Wants
Comment: So to speak, this was my first ever AoB Song. I can remember my sisters dancing to it.
She leads a lonely life
She leads a lonely life
When she woke up late in the morning light
And the day had just begun
She opened up her eyes and thought:
Oh, what a morning
It's not a day for work, ah
It's a day for catching tan
Just lying on the beach and having fun
She's going to getcha
Chorus:
All that she wants
Is another baby, she's going tomorrow boy
All that she wants
Is another baby, hey
All that she wants
Is another baby, she's going tomorrow boy
All that she wants
Is another baby, yeah
So if you are in sight
And the day is right
She's the hunter, you're the fox
The gentle voice that talks to you
Won't talk forever
It is a night for passion
But the morning means goodbye
Beware of what is flashing in her eyes
She's going to getcha
Repeat Chorus till fade

Dancer in a Daydream
My comment: There's alot of techno in there, but you'll have a crush on it sooner or later
What an odd situation
What an odd situation
What an odd situation
What you got is basic emotions, can you feel them?
I want to be your lover, but you're so shy
What you need is perfect assistance, let me guide you
To a land you've never seen before
Chorus:
I guess you see
I have another daydream
I guess you see
That I have another daydream
Come and be a dancer
Dance into my daydream
Join me in the daydream, wet and wild
Come and be a dancer
Dance into my daydream
Join me in the jungle, wet and wild
To help another person will make you feel important
You've got my invitation, but you're so shy
Come and let your wild side show
And be a dancer
A dancer in a daydream we can share
Chorus twice
Help me take control of my full imagination
I'm looking for a man who can match my situation
Thinking of the people waiting down the line
I'm in the limelight, now's my time
Chorus till fade

OK, take me back to the top
Don't turn around
I will survive without you
If you wanna leave
I won't beg you to stay
And if you gotta go, darling
Maybe it's better that way
I'm gonna be strong
I'm gonna do fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
(Just walk out that door
Yeah, see if I care
Go on and go now, but:)
Chorus:
Don't turn around
Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart that you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know
I won't let you know
I won't miss your arms around me
Holding me tight
And if you ever think about me
Just know that I'll be allright
I'm gonna be strong
I'm gonna do fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
(I know I'll survive
Sure I'll make it through
And I'll even learn to live without you)
Chorus
I wish I could scream out loud
That I love you
I wish I could say to you: Don't go
As he walks away you feel the pain getting strong
People in your life, they don't know what's going on
Too proud to turn around
He's gone

My comment: Here is it again, lotsa techno. But what shall I do, I like it
Tonight we're really gonna have a good time
Oh, we're gonna have a good time

Confess you'd like to be with her
Confess you look at her

Happy Nation
My comment: Less techno than the previous, therefor a more headspinning text about the world. A friend of mine told me what the latin sentence at the beginning means, but I forgot it, shame over me
Laudate omnes gentes laudate
Magnificant in secula
Et anima mea laudate
Magnificant in secula
Chorus:
Happy nation, living in a happy nation
Where the people understand and dream of the perfect man
A situation leading to sweet salvation
For the people, for the good
For mankind brotherhood
We're travelling in time
Ideas by man
And only that will last
And over time
We've earned from the past
That no man's fit
To rule the world alone
A man will die
But not his ideas
Chorus
We're travelling in time...
Tell them we've gone too far
Tell them we've gone too far
Happy Nation come through and I will dance with you
Happy nation
Tell them we've gone too far
Happy nation come through and I will dance with you

My comment: This is one of my favourite songs from Happy Nation, the techno gets to hum in your ear. Enjoy!
I enter your life now, make no mistakes
Can you reach me, can you reach me?
I enter your life now, make no mistakes
Can you reach me, can you touch me?
Chorus:
Can you hear me calling in the night?
My love's so strong
I can't get it right
Can you feel my longing through the night?
You've got me totally hynotized
I came in a black dress, but left in a white
Can you reach me, can you reach me?
I came in a black dress, but left in a white
Can you reach me, can you touch me?
Chorus twice
Looking for your eyes
When the dream is so nice
The rythm of the song where you belong
I want your heart and soul
High on emotion, you're here with me
You can reach me, you can reach me
High on emotion, you're here with me
You can reach me, you can touch me

Hypnotized, I am hypnotized...

Living in Danger
My comment: I heard a housemix before I got the real song. The housemix is baaaad I tell you, but the original is pretty wonderful. Listen.
Live for yourself
It's a wonderful thing
You can do what you want
You can live in a dream
Get up, get in, get the rythm, get down
You're living your life in peace and in harmony
You're making your own decisions
That's how it's got to be for you and me
So many people are running round and round
Without any sense of logic
Chorus:
I see lies..
In the eyes of a stranger
Whoaoh, you'll be living in danger
(Live for yourself
It's a wonderful thing
You can do what you want
You can live in a dream
Get up, get in, get the rythm, get down
Keep moving your feet
Don't go wasting your time
Everybody's moving
Yeah, they're getting in the line
Get up, get in, get the rythm, get down)
In the eyes of a stranger, whoaoh
You'll be living in danger
People are the same today as they used to be
The same expectations
So high no one can reach
That high not I nor you get satisfied today
We never get enough
Chorus
People are the same today as they used to be
We never get enough

Oh so much danger
Oh so much danger

You'll be living in danger

Münchhausen (Just Chaos!)
My comment: What do you think of by hearing the name "Münchhausen"? A crazy baron, a legend, a bragger who always made us laugh and wonder at the same time, with his incredible tales? A humming techno song with the meaningful co-title "Just chaos" that tells us a bit about Münchhausen himself? Or both? Yeah, you're an Acer just like me!
Just chaos!...
Maybe he liked to brag
Did he invent himself?
He lives till the end of time
Chorus 1:
Oh, Münchhausen was the son of a gun
He had his share of wild adventures
He rode the cannonball like no other man
He pulled himself up into the air
Just chaos!...
Wether he liked to brag
He lives till the end of time
With his immortal lies
Chorus 2:
Oh, Münchhausen took a trip to the moon
And beat the sultan and his army
With a company containing just five
He gunned them down just by himself
Such a special man, Baron Münchhausen
He spread chaos around the world
Just chaos!...
Maybe he liked to brag
Did he invent himself?
He lives till the end of time
Just chaos!

My Mind
This song is good for dancing (as the text already describes) and it is rather strange. Actually it even hasn't a real chorus. I decided that "You're giving me hope..." should be after all. But don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it is bad, but it's strange.
Ace of Base is in your mind
Dance
Everyone everywhere
Everyone everywhere
Ace of Base is in your mind
Chorus:
You're giving me hope
I'm moving back in time
You're giving me hope
I'm moving back in time
Everyone everywhere
Dance or fade out!
In my mind, in my mind, in my mind
In my mind you live
Everyone everywhere
Everyone everywhere
Ace of Base is in your mind

The Sign
My comment: "The Sign" one of my all time favourite AoB songs, just too great! In fact, I found out my desire for reggae on it. I heard it, fell in love with it, and a friend heard it too. Then he told me that I like this song because probably I like reggae..and he was right!
Oh, yeah
I got a new life
You would hardly recognize me
I'm so glad
How could a person like me care for you?
Why do I bother
When you're not the one for me?
Is enough enough?
Chorus:
I saw the sign
When I opened up my eyes I saw the sign
Life is demanding
Without understanding
I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong
But where do you belong?
Under the pale moon
For so many years I wondered who you are
How could a person like you bring me joy?
Under the pale moon
Where I see alot of stars
Is enough enough?
Chorus
I saw the sign
And it opened up my mind
And I'm happy now living without you
I've left you, ooh
Chorus till fade

Voulez-Vous Danser?
My comment: A groovy lovesong with a groovy text. For those without french class: "Voulez-vous danser avec moi?" means "Would you like to dance with me?"
I knew you before, about five years ago
Then you seemed to be like a person
Who didn't act like the people I know
Yes, something was special about ya
A bit insecure, but still kind of cute
At the same time easy to talk to
And now I see you again
And you're looking so good...
Chorus:
Voulez-vous danser?
Ah, avec moi?
Voulez-vouz danser avec moi
Avec moi?
Voulez-vous danser?
I look in a mirror, and what do I see?
You're the same kind of person, you're like me
And I can't run away, I'm so attracted to you...
Chorus
No more hesitation
You're what I've been searching for
So stay close to me
I wanna give you a better life
L'amour eternelle
L'amour eternelle
Voulez-vous danser avec moi?
Avec moi...
Voulez-vous danser avec moi?...

Waiting for Magic
My comment: The beginning rocks! I could dance to it for hours! But the text is also funny. It's about Snow white..
Waiting for magic
A man of the world
But lost in a dream
You look at something from a different angle
But I exist, waiting for you
In a coffin made of glass
Chorus 1:
Kiss me baby, I'm attractive
Baby get to know me
Show who you are
Give me that music
Baby, I'm eternal
Lying in a coffin
Waiting for you
In your dream a girl is dancing
Close to you
That girl is me
Once a witch made her sleep
And a prince will wake her up, it's you
Chorus 1
Waiting for magic
Chorus 2:
Kiss me baby
I'm Snow White
Sleeping in a coffin
Waiting for you
Waiting for magic
Baby I'm Snow White
Sleeping in a coffin
Waiting for you
Waiting for magic
Is what I do
Waiting for magic
For me and you
Oh, kiss me baby, wake me up
Oh, kiss me baby, wake me up
Come on, baby

Oh, kiss me baby, wake me up

Wheel of Fortune
My comment: This is also one of my alltime-favs. I think I understood the text (finally) A boy wants to tell his dad about the new girl he dealed, but he has a bad character, and so what he's gonna tell his dad is like a wheel of fortune!
Chorus 1:
What you're gonna tell your dad's like a wheel of fortune
What you're gonna tell your dad if this wheel lets you down
My love is my engine, and you might me fuel
Stop acting cool
I'm in love with another fool
Don't push me
I don't want you, can't you see it?
Hasten slowly
And don't count your chicks before they're
Hatched baby
Chrous 2:
What you're gonna tell you dad's like a wheel of fortune
What your're gonna tell your dad if this wheel let's you down
My love is my engine
And you might be fuel
Stop acting cool
Just bet you might win
I'm not that cruel
I'm in love with another fool
Hey
You, we're gonna make you move
Tastes like steel, like a stab from a knife
Uh, what you're gonna tell your daddy...
I'm in love with another fool
I'm in love with you
I like your style
I want you
I'm in love
(Repeat)

Young and Proud
My comment: This is one of my favourite techno-like songs from AoB. Nothing more needed to say. Let's just sing... Anyway, anyway, you do it wrong...
We are much too young and life's so big
We don't know yet what the future brings
In it's hands for us
What tomorrow brings the future knows
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
We are united
Young and proud
Young and proud
We are marching on the same side of destiny
On the same side of destiny...
Chorus:
Anyway, anyway
You do it wrong
I'm calling out your name
But you never hear me
Anyway, anyway
You do it wrong
I'm giving you my love
Though it's never for sale
And we're so young and proud
Anyway, anyway
You do it wrong
I'm calling out your name
I'm calling out your name
I'm calling out your name
Oh, anyway, anyway...

I move through the crowd so I can get a better look
Chorus
Weren't you the one that spilled my

C'est la vie
My comment: Being 21? Well, I still got to wait a few years, but meanwhile I can listen to such fine songs :)
I'm as young as I'm feeling
I'm always twenty-one, I'm always twenty-one
C'est la vie, c'est la vie
C'est la vie
I'm always twenty-one at heart
Now listen to me
I need somebody to stay beside me
Cause I've got a hungry heart
Baby, with or without love
I'm gonna get a man who can fulfil my dream
On the top of the world I don't wanna be alone
No, no, no, not me
Chorus:
C'est la vie, c'est la vie
On the road tonight
Love is good for you, oh when you're twenty-one
C'est la vie, C'est la vie
On my own tonight
Love will come to you, you're always twenty-one
Oh, love is a liar
But I'll try it
Give it another go
I know you have another
Yes, I've seen her
I wonder who she is
Does she kiss you the way that I used to kiss you?
I bet she wonders who I am
Chorus
I get older everyday
But I'll fight it till the end
There's a man for me to have and to hold
Easy come, easy go
Once bitten, but not for long
I'm as young, oh, as I'm feeling
Yes I am

Mercy Mercy
This song is great! It's about being invidual in the world. I always get happy while singing it
The man in the moon has a thousand different faces
The man in the moon changes colors each day
He's watching us all
The big and the small
Can he see
Just you and me
Searching for my destiny?
Chorus:
Mercy, mercy
You gotta have pity on me
Have mercy on me
Mercy, mercy
Wanna be free and happy
Have mercy on me
Do you believe we can travel into the future?
Do you believe there's a man in the sky?
We're making him sad
The good and the bad
Can he see
Just you and me
Searching for my destiny?
Chorus
I don't wanna be just one in many faces
I want you looking at me
Sit down and take a look
Put me into motion
Give me something to believe...
Chorus till fade

Love in December
"Love in December" has a nice piano beginning. It's a great song about the ending of a once wonderful love...
We had a million of days
I know that our time has run out
You're my everlasting groove
Forget the past for the time to come
In all our thoughts and we will meet again
Never leave me out here in the cold
I sing for my neverending dream
Chorus 1:
Love in December
I will always remember
Our summer with passion
Our fatal attraction
Colors are fading like the leaves in November
What's left of the magic?
We had a million of days
I know that our time has run out
You're my everlasting groove
Forget the past for the time to come
In all our thoughts and we will meet again
Never leave me out here in the cold
I sing for my neverending dream
Chorus 2:
Love in December
I will always remember
Our summer with passion
Our fatal attraction
Colors are fading like the leaves in November
What's left of the magic we felt in the springtime?
Cause there's a place in the world I know
Where I'd rather would be
In the fairytales of love
Where everything has a happy end
I would my friend in fantasia land
We could be together all the time, my dear
In the fairytales of love
Chorus 2
For a moment a touch could feel
Like a vision of an angel
Has our love and desire disappeared forever?
Always longing to have you near
Feel the power and the passion
Feel me slipping from your hands
Please break my fall
Repeat chorus till fade

How Long has this been going on?
My comment: The last AoB Song in my list, and it's really a weirdo. I listened to it, and thought "Can this be Ace of Base?" I looked into my Winamp and checked out the lyric site lyriks.de. Yes, artist and lyric were right. And I still can't believe it-it's totally different to the usual AoB style I love so much. Deep, slow soul. And the vocal...it's not Jenny nor Linn, isn't it? And surely not Jonas! But who can it be then?
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Well, if friends with their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
Then I can't help but have my suspicions
Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
And you said you was never intending
To break up our singing this way
But there ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Oh your friends with their fancy persuation
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
But I can't help but have my suspicions
Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
Oh you said you was never intending
To break up our singing this way
But there ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
And how long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
And ow, how long has this been going on?...
