Biography

Swedish pop duo, formed in 1986 in Halmstad by [a=Per Gessle] and [a=Marie Fredriksson]. The group enjoyed worldwide success from the late 1980s until the mid-1990s, gaining nineteen UK Top 40 hits and four US #1 singles with, "The Look", "Listen to Your Heart", "It Must Have Been Love" and "Joyride". Two further singles "Dangerous" and "Fading Like a Flower" hit #2. Finally, "Dressed for Success" was a modest hit in the US peaking at #14. After a hiatus in the mid-1990s, their popularity continued in other territories such as Europe and South America, where they earned various Gold and Platinum awards until the beginning of the new millennium. In 2002 the duo took a break from recording and touring when Fredriksson was diagnosed with a brain tumour. In 2009 Roxette took to the stage together again for the first time in 8 years, during Gessle's European Party Crasher tour. Their songs continue to receive radio airplay, with "It Must Have Been Love" and "Listen to Your Heart" both recently receiving awards from BMI for achieving four million radio plays. They have sold an estimated 60 million records worldwide, with over 3.5 million record sales in the United States, achieving platinum for Joyride and Look Sharp! there.

LYRICS

There was a banquet of believers when we walked into the room.
December days of Christmas felt like days in June.
And there were morning lights, and sunrise chimes echoed all around.
Now's the time for weary minds, the moon is northern bound.
And you know I'm going back, going back today.
Back to where I came from. And you know I'm going back,
going back to stay.
To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.

Well there's a promise in the twilight, it's so innocent and wild.
Two hearts that break the silence, you can hear a distant cry.
And there's emptiness and loneliness, it's more or less the same.
Well let's run between the raindrops, babe,
and catch the midnight train.

And you know I'm going back, going back today.
Back to where I came from. And you know I'm going back,
going back to stay. To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.

And you know I'm going back, going back today.
Back to where I came from. And you know I'm going back,
going back to stay. To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.

And you know I'm going back, going back today.
Back to where I came from. And you know I'm going back,
going back to stay. To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.
Came my way...
