这些歌是我很久以前听过的一首歌，也是自己喜欢的，只是因为教父先生才知道歌手的名字。近来，越来越发现自己原来很早以前就爱上西洋乐了，想起了很多过去……
于1980年代晚期发迹的Roxette(罗克赛合唱团)，由歌声劲道十足的女主唱Marie Fredriksson与负责词曲创作的Per Gessel组成，两人连手以The Look这首热门单曲在全球流行乐坛上缔造了一波波流行摇滚的音乐高峰，于是享有瑞典国宝之美称。
在他俩还没共组Roxette之前，Marie和Per分属不同的乐团，'78年Marie是Strul乐团的主唱兼键盘手，而Per则是Gyllene Tider的吉他手兼词曲创作，他俩并曾分别发表过两张个人专辑。1986年，Marie和Per在Per的经纪人(之前曾任ABBA经纪人)的措合下，两人终于实现合作计划，以Roxette的名义录制一曲Neverending Love，在瑞典引起广大的注目，首张专辑「Pearls Of Passion(珍珠热情)」的成功，自此造就了瑞典一组新兴的闪亮二重唱组合。1987年Roxette开始在瑞典巡回演出，同年，诞生了一首于瑞典电台点播率极高的单曲，Roxette的圣诞节单曲--It Must Have Been Love(Christmas For The Broken Hearted)。
1988年Roxette推出第二张专辑「Look Sharp!(当心留意)」，这张专辑在瑞典造成更大的回响，但Roxette仍然没有打入国际乐坛。不过，千里马终究会有伯乐赏识的。当年有一个美国交换学生自瑞典回国后，力促明尼苏达州的广播电台KDWB播放The Look这首爆发力/感染力极强的歌曲。从此The Look的拷贝录音带便流传到美国其它的电台，一夕之间，Roxette一炮而红！他们在美国有了第一支热门单曲，所谓打铁要趁热，他们旋即于1989年在美发行The Look单曲，一飞冲天到了排行榜冠军，而且在其它24个国家也纷纷登上了排行第一名。同年10月，Roxette以Listen To Your Heart拿下第二个全美冠军，并在欧洲展开巡回演出。紧接着，Per重新谱写It Must Have Been Love，拿掉了原有的Christmas For The Broken Hearted的字样，在1990年成为Roxette的第三首全美排行冠军曲，在全美电台的点播率始终居高不下。这首歌并收录在卖座电影『麻雀变凤凰Pretty Woman』的原声带当中，而这张原声带也缔创了900万张的销售佳绩。
1991年Roxette发行第三张专辑「Joyride(飙)」，专辑同名曲亦是该辑首打单曲再度于美国等地登上排行榜冠军，同年九月，Roxette于芬兰首都展开「Join The Joyride」世界巡回演唱会，足迹踏遍欧美澳洲等地，直到1992年于家乡瑞典画下句点。在这108场的巡回演出之后，「Joyride(飙)」专辑销售量突破一千万张。'92年接着推出第四张专辑「Tourism」，此辑收录他们在世界巡回演出期间的现场录音以及定点录制的歌曲，其中的How Do You Do更成为该辑的热门歌曲，作为开场曲总能带来极佳的热场效果。'94年四月发行第五张专辑「Crash!Boom!Bang!(石破天惊)」，同年秋季，Roxette举行第二次世界巡回演唱会，从欧洲唱到了南非、澳洲、东南亚、中国大陆以及日本。'95年，精选辑「Don't Bore Us,Get To The Chorus(非常精选)」问世，成为Roxette另一张销售破千万的专辑。
在这张畅销精选辑后，Roxette暂时淡出歌坛。'96年秋，Roxette推出一张西班牙精选歌谣专辑「Baladas En Espanol(抒情精选)」，在所有西班牙语系国家都受到欢迎。'98年，在流行乐坛销声匿迹约两年的Roxette准备重新上路，赴西班牙展开新辑录音工作。'99年初，该团推出第六张专辑「Have A Nice Day(今天好)」。2000年秋，Roxette紧接着决定在瑞典斯德哥尔摩展开最新专辑「Room Service(音乐盛宴)」的录制。2001年2月，Roxette的新世纪单曲The Centre Of The Heart出炉，4月12日，收录12首全新作品的第七张专辑「Room Service(音乐盛宴)」发行，曾经叱咤歌坛的Roxette又回来了。《Listen to your heart》
I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
我看出你微笑中的忧伤
I get a notion from the look in your eyes,yea.
我看出你眼神中的彷徨
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
你经营的爱已分崩离析
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.
你小小的天空已黯然无光
Listen to your heart
倾听你的心声
When he's calling for you.
当他呼唤你时
Listen to your heart
倾听你的心声
There's nothing else you can do.
你别无选择
I don't know where you're going
我不知道你会去何方
And I don't know why,
我不知道为什么
But listen to your heart,
但请倾听你的心声
Before you tell him goodbye.
在你要与他道别之前
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile,
有时你不知道是否值得一战
The precious moments are all lost in the tide,yea.
宝贵的时光都已烟消云散
They're swept away and nothing is what it seems,
它们荡然无存，一切都变了样
The feeling of belonging to your dreams.
只有回归梦想
And there are voices
心灵的声音
That want to be heard.
忍不住要呼唤
So much to mention
要说的太多
But you can't find the words.
你却不知所措
The scent of magic,
魔幻般的香气
The beauty that's been
曾经的美丽
When love was wilder than the wind.
当爱比风还要疯狂
I don't know where you're going
我不知道你会去何方
And I don't know why,
我不知道为什么
But listen to your heart,
但请倾听你的心声
Before you tell him goodbye.
在你要与他道别之前
《it must have been love - roxette 》
it must have been love
but it's over now.
lay a whisper
on my pillow,
leave the winter
on the ground.
i wake up lonely,
there's air of silence
in the bedroom
and all around.
touch me now,
i close my eyes
and dream away.
it must have been love
but it's over now.
it must have been good
but i lost it somehow.
it must have been love
but it's over now.
from the moment we touched
'til the time had run out.
make-believing
we're together,
that i'm sheltered
by your heart.
but in and outside
i've turned to water
like a teardrop
in your palm
and it's a hard
winter's day,
i dream away.
it must have been love
but it's over now,
it was all that i wanted,
now i'm living without.
it must have been love
but it's over now,
it's where the water flows,
it's where the wind blows.
it must have been love
but it's over now.
it must have been good
but i lost it somehow.
it must have been love
but it's over now.
from the moment we touched
'til the time had run out.
it must have been love
but it's over now,
it was all that i wanted,
now i'm living without.
it must have been love
but it's over now,
it's where the water flows,
it's where the wind blows.
it must have been love
but it's over now,
it must have been love
but it's over now,
