This is the version that should be on compilations... I was so disappointed when it was a b-side to a release. I felt Ace of Base really had a shot at another US hit with this, and it should've been the second single after Cruel Summer.
Some people say they like this version better than the original version, but I don't seriously "prefer" either of them. I would listen to the original version when I'm in a good mood and this version when I'm bummed about something.
Very weird song. Extremely weird percussion... but it is absolutely awesome!!! One of my favorite songs of all time. Thanks for the upload... very good quality!
I love the emotion that both sisters Linn & Jenny put into their songs. I love how in certain chords Linn sounds annoyed or pissed as if she actually thought of something that the song she's singing stirred inside of her at the moment she's singing. 2:14 to 2:18, 2:28 to 2:55, & then at 2:58 to 3:01.
@ReformedOrder Mate thats not Linn singing in those parts at all!! Its all Jenny on this track, Linn did do back vocals for the other version we seen on Flowers. But shes not on this version.
@BASSER81 What? No I don't think so. Maybe Jenny sung the Verses but not the chorus at least all by herself. I know for a fact Linn was in the bridge part of the song too. Linn's voice is stronger than Jenny's & has a unique distinct sound to it than her sister's.
Dette er ganske enkelt et fremragende arrangement. Musikalsk ligger det langt over andre udgaver. Det er næppe overraskende, at Jenny er i forgrunden. Hun har simpelthen Sveriges bedste sangstemme i vor tid. Jeg håber, at hun aldrig mister lysten til at synge.
This is simply the greatest arrangement of this song, I have heard. I really hope, that Jenny never loose the inspiration to sing. The rest of us have nothing better to do than enjoy Swedens best song voice.
That's Linn. She was the lead singer for the first two albums. Her sister, Jenny, the brunette, was attacked by a knife-wielding fan who broke into their house looking for Linn. Linn was never the same as that experience and decided that she wanted out. So, since they were under contract as a foursome, she had to stay. They put her in the background, and said that she was afraid of flying and couldn't come to performances or interviewers. The blurred pictures are over-the-top. I agree!
me encanta esta version fue la primera que conoci. la tenia en un album y ahora trato de econtrarla en Itunes stores y solo tienen la version de Europa
de cada cancion que tenga dos versiones a mi me encanta las dos, ya que cada uno tiene un estilo diferente y eso me gusta, ademas son canciones de AOB y el trabajo de ellos es indiscutible.
BASSER81, you sound like Yoda at the end: "weird ace of base sound this is!" LOL Anyway, I agree when you say the sound is weird, especially in the context of the Cruel Summer/Flowers album, but I do prefer this version.
Thanks so much! I was hoping that someday this song would be on Youtube... my favorite Ace of Base song! The song is timeless: the sound came out of nowhere and nobody built upon it. I think it will sound modern for many more years, perhaps forever! Thanks again!!!
