Roxette interview - Per Gessle (part 1) 

Especially Look Sharp

So true. I love Roxette and all their songs

So true! Play never made a bad song

one of my favorite album，perfect

of course! Music was created by British, so the paper to write it on, and pens and pencils and , of course the first record was invented in Britain. Also the DVD, acetate records, and cassettes. People could not listen until British invented ears. Yes! people didn't have ears, therefore could not listen to any sound. Thank you very much!

Scandinavian guy inspired from British!!!! Are u on high

It's a shame his solo stuff wasn't as popular. He's put out some really amazing music.

@@NCSavageDrummer2112 Don't worry! His music has impacted a whole nation and, I suspect, will continue to do so. I'm so happy Roxette has meant so much to so many. It's surreal to see. I guess it's because we tend to think of them more as solo artists. Roxette was like, just another band of Gessle's, something they did together for fun, it just happened to become successful abroad. Which is lovely, of course! They were (and Gessle still is) celebrated and talented artists in their own right, not just members of a band. When she died it was Marie Fredriksson who died, not "Marie from Roxette". They're such an integral part of Swedish culture, it's insane, I mean, they've received H. M. The King's medal. At the news of Marie's death, the Royal House issued a statement and the King offered his condolences in national media on behalf of himself and the Royal family, especially the Crown Princess, who was particularly fond of Marie and had Roxette perform at her wedding. No, seriously. It's crazy. We're crazy. It doesn't matter how old you are, they're featured on the soundtrack of the life of every swede, whether we want it or not. Kids perform Sommartider on the last day of school every single term before summer holidays and teenagers get drunk to it on graduation day. The summer equivalent to Jingle Bells or something, everyone knows it by heart before the age of ten. If you don't know the chorus of Marie's Tro and can resist to sing whenever you hear Efter stormen or Äntligen, and God forbid, don't associate Per's När vi två blir en with at least one crush and don't feel the urge to strangle the DJ for playing Här kommer alla känslorna for the six hundred and twenty eleventh time, you will lose your Swedish citizenship. Probably. I've never met anyone who didn't know their Gessle.

Anechka I met a customer at work in the uk, who was from Sweden, Halmstad in fact. They were overwhelmed that I was a big Per fan, and sang Sommartider chorus. No one in the UK knows this song

@@NCSavageDrummer2112 Gyllene Tider was / is more popular in Scandinavia than Roxette

@@user-ju1qd3ok2g that was Per Gessle's first band before he met Marie Fredricksson, right? 🤓

Her death was devastating to me too she was so awesome.

You bet!

I totally agree!😍 Love you Per Dear!

Lyn K I love him too... more than you!

#gentleman

totally right

Me too! 😍 Love you Per Dear!

Michael Weening love his hair and hairstyle!

I agree. I used to listen to "Look Sharp" on cassette tape in my car in the early 90s actually and wore it out lol !!

True!

Estudia english. Te pierdes de mucho. Casi todos elogian a Roxette, aman a Per y a Mary y aman sus canciones. Hay mucho cariño por ellos. Dicen q Per es guapo y así

He got international success because of his songs. If he hadn't written them there would have been none for Marie to sing !

She passed away last December 2019

And?

Neri Ashley Cabajar But his hair is 16 years old! 💖

@@biggreenbananas8929 yeah that's right!

It’s my belief that music will never let you down.

Per adored Marie...but if you listen to his song lyrics ..Marie broke his heart
