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

Raging waves sweep this heavy heart.
Cold is the colour of the dark.
Find a byway and climb that hill,
watch the thunder cast a spell.
What did you gain from love? -
Don't ask me!
All for the sweetest thrill...

I see a view from a hill - oh oh.
I see it perfectly clear
and I cry for the dreams that you kill -
oh oh, view from a hill,
and it's only a moment away

Love is a rainfall, hard on the head,
no escape though you're soaking wet.
Leave me blinded by your light.
Leave me stranded alone tonight.

What did you gain from love? -
Don't ask me!
All for the cheapest thrill...

I see a view from a hill -- oh oh.
I see it perfectly clear
and I cry for the dreams that you kill --
oh oh, view from a hill,
and it's only a motion away.

What did you gain from love? -
Don't ask me!
All for the cheapest thrill...

I see a view from a hill -- oh oh.
I see it perfectly clear
and I cry for the dreams that you kill --
oh oh, view from a hill,
and it's only a motion away.

(repeat)
