Please never stop making these "Behind The Song" video's. They are an absolute treasure.

I'll never get tired of this song. RIP Marie

Kudos to that exchange student who brought Look Sharp back to the U.S. and gave it to that Minneapolis radio station!

Per is an absolute genius. Incredible how many great songs he wrote and one of the nicest and most gracious people in the business as well.

RIP Marie Fredriksson 🙏. 09 December 2019

RIP Marie, terrific singer and stunning beauty.

Per and Marie.. one of the best duet combos in the history of music. The Look.. what a classic track.

Marie will never be forgotten - Roxette's music will be around forever and that will ensure it.

Love Roxette and this song! 32 years later, still sounds good

Are Roxette in the rock hall of fame, if not they should be. R.I.P Marie one of the greatest rock singer's.

If people only realised just how many of the worlds greatest pop songs originated from Sweden their jokes about Ikea and meatballs would stop overnight. Such talented and passionate writers

R.I.P. Marie, your great voice will be missed. Thank God we will always have all these great albums.

Always loved Roxette. I've still got Look Sharp! album that I bought in 88 or 89. I'd lay down in front of the record player, half under my bed, with the speakers on either side of my head. I'd then lean the tops together forming a triangle and there I'd lay listening to the album, only getting up to change sides. Even though Look Sharp! has been out for over 30 years, it still sounds fresh. I was so in love with Marie's voice, such a range and power and her vibrato was just wonderful. Thank you Marie, and thank you Per! Even though sadly Marie is resting, her voice will love on forever! 🤘🏻🇦🇺😊

You can’t get more 80s than Roxette. They ARE the 80s! Great band. Great music. And RIP Marie. We miss you. 💓💓

I grew up listening to Roxette and absolutely loved Per's vocals. The Look, How Do You Do!, Fingertips, Cinnamon Street, Vulnerable, Silver Blue, and Harleys and Indians (Riders in the Sky) were some of my favourite Roxette songs. So glad I got the chance to see Roxette live. Words can't describe what your music means to me.

What a great behind the scenes look into the creation of 'The Look.' Per Gessle does a wonderful job telling how this song became a hit.

Best music Group from Sweden 👍👍🇸🇪

The King & Queen of Europe.... I was always 'Spending My Time' listening to Roxette...... R.I.P. Marie, your voice will live forever......

thats one of those songs that you never get sick of.

so sad that we lost one of the most beautiful voices God ever created when the beautiful Marie lost her battle with cancer this past Dec. I loved Roxette!!!

For learning how to program that synthesizer he wrote a global hit... just incredible...

I've met them when they came to my country, Uruguay, and they were very nice, pleasant, lovely people. Marie was an extremely humble and humane person with so much talent. I miss her a lot to this day and forever, really. She was so kind to me whenever we had little conversations throughout the following years. I talked to her when she was at a radio station in Stockholm and she was the nicest person you can find wherever but especially in the music bizz. She was just special, unique. Thank you for posting this video with that beautiful footage of the glorious past or Roxette ♥

I love the pride he has in his country!!! :)

2:15 I love Per's personality. He's so chipper! RIP Marie. Lovely voice

Still love that record to this day. RIP Marie, a wonderful breath of fresh air when the music scene really needed it.

The production of this song is phenomenal. The guitars are so clean yet punchy.

Such an intelligent and innovative band. I will never get tired of listening to their amazing hits

Al vanaf begin (eind jaren 80) fan van Roxette en nog steeds. R.i.p. Marie 😘

Love this. Growing up in Minneapolis I distinctly remember this song debuting on 101.3 KDWB! So awesome!

I bought every album. Just brilliant. RIP Marie

One of my favorite songs, ever!!!

I lived in Canada, heard Roxette and that was it. My favourite group! Per is a genius and together with Marie they are magic. Their music has something no one else's has. I live in Sweden... was SO saddened by Marie's health problems, hoped she would recover completely and was shocked when she died. She's gone..... but we shared a culture and a country and that makes me feel good. Carry on Per, thank you, you and Marie, super talents!

I remember when this song came out in Chile, where I grew up. It was a Huge hit right away!. Then followed all the other hits by this Amazing band. Such a great duo, their talent, and sound was very unique for that time period. I Love how Per is telling the story, and you can see the Love and pride he has for his country. . Such a humble man and a Musical Genious!.

That's amazing. His vision was of her singing the songs and him writing them. So he fought not to be the singer. But sometimes you have to submit to the requirements of a great song.

I love this song. The look sharp album is fantastic. Love Per and Marie.

One of my favorite songs from the 80s. Came out while I was stationed in Erlangen Germany. Great memories.

The sound of my youth. Was such a cool song.

Marie may be gone, but she'll never be forgotten.

One of the best band ever..Roxette forever ✌

ROXETTE FOREVER!! MY FAVOURITE BAND!

She had the best hair!

Wooow! Great video. Remember the song well. Interesting how he talks in such detail about the sound. He is right too, it doesn't sound like LA or London production at the time, it has a unique sound which identifies it as Swedish. I always think Roxette sounded like 'ice cold glass'..... and what a voice she had! Sounds like a cool insightful guy, and clearly still knows his onions.

For all beginning bands: one enthusiastic fan can make a difference.

Hats off to Mr. Gessle. He and Marie were a match made in heaven. We won't ever find such a fine music combination. I am lucky I was born in the right time to see them live.

Such a great band and a very fresh step moving from the late 80's into the 90's. Marie's passing was so sad, such a great talent.

One of the most talented songwriters of the 80s/90s!

I'm really sad about the fact that there will never be a new song again. I was a real big fan since I was 14. I'm almost 20 now and I'm still not over her death after months.. Roxette made me, me. And gave me reasons to live in my darkest days. I will forever remember and listen to roxette❤️🦋

I grew up with Roxette music, so sad what happened to Marie, RIP.

Hard to believe it was that long ago to be honest

My Top Roxette songs are: 1. It must have been love 2. Listen to your heart 3. The look 4. Vulnerable 5. Dangerous

Per, Roxette is the legendary band! We love you forever!

Roxette songs are AWESOME! Marie's voice will live for ever! And Per is an incredible song writer!

I never liked this song but like anyone growing up in that time period if you listened to the radio this has been stuck in your head before. Now in retrospect & with the help of this story I have so much appreciation for this song in its newly found digital era glory. We've grown leaps & bounds. One who was born in 1976 was able to see so much happen in such a small time period. Life is amazing!!!!!

I wish i could travel in time and meet Marie and Per gessle i really love this band

I remember when this came out and loved that new sound. Too bad Marie left us recently.

JUST GREAT... LOVE ALL ROXETTE SONGS ARE AMAZING 🎸🥁🥁🎤🎼🎼🎸🎸🎸🥁🎤🎼💖

Miss her so much... Her voice was just amazing... And still is !!!

CD Players just hit my country, so I got one (took all my savings!), and I bought my first CD... The Look. Hearing the song with such clarity, and their voices... It changed my love for music forever.

He is a down to earth genuine musician!

The greatest song of the 1980's - yes it's that great - Roxette are awesome - R.I.P Marie.

Best duo. My first cd i bought at only 10 years old was joyride. Love ♥️

There is no Roxette with out Per Gessle, amazing writer and singer!

Love him! Friendy, kind, with a healthy confidence

He seems to have the same Philosophy as Richard Marx - "Melody is Everything" - Too many Songwriters tend to forget that. It's easy to forget a Lyric - but a good Melody stays in your Head Forever !!

From Colombia, gracias por compartir. I'll remember to Marie F! Too!!! Saludos desde Medellín.

Roxette is timeless, still as great as it was 30 years ago. This was an amazing look at behind the scenes. ❤️

this GROUP IS A TREASURE WE MISS MARIE!!

i am a metal head, but this song and band was so epic. I love it since i was a teenager when it came out

Thanks Per for creating beautiful music

One of the best music groups in history!

Roxette brings back so many great memories. Thank you for your music

Great band and great memories......

I wanna hear Per talk about Roxette songs all day now.

Always loved this song and many others by Roxette. R.I.P Marie You are missed

I love them so much, even though I wasn’t born yet ❤️

This will always be a favorite pop song from the late 80s along with other singles on the record. They made a wise decision to stay in Sweden instead of moving to NYC or LA because the world only needs one Richard Marx (no disrespect to him). Industry typically loves a formula they can capitalize on before the wave crashes into the shore. It's better to maintain your integrity because that's what you want intact when your moment comes to pass. Thank you, Roxette, for contributing to the soundtrack of my freshman year in high school. Marie, R.I.P.

Look Sharp classic album, Along with their Debut-Pearls of Passion which was a hit in their native Sweden

One of the best songs ever.

You both were and will always be my favorite musical legends ever.

1:17 "Dance Away", my favorite track from 'Look Sharp!'

Wow ! 1988 , I bought a tape to know Roxette , and now I watch this video on your channel , thank you !

I LOVE Roxette. Thank you for helping shape our childhood. It wouldn’t have been the same without you both.

What an amazing duo!! I know them since i was 5 😀 Greetings from Mexico!

My brother was so obsessed with Roxette, that he named his daughter Roxette. True story.

Amazing. One of my favourite bands and songs. So good to hear it from the songwriters lips about how it came about. But he didn't really talk about the song itself and what it's about. Insightful to hear about them choosing to stay in Sweden and remain pure to their sound. So cool.

What a band! Classic!!!! Still play the songs in my car! Genius!

This video is pure gold! Per is a genius! Rip Marie

Huge hit! Still a good catchy song! Catchy guitar riff! And Marie’s Vocals were like the cherry 🍒 on top of the Sundae. Her NA NA NAs just cut through everything! It’s still a hit song! RIP Marie-the music will live on!

If I could go back in time and see a Roxette show, my life would be complete!

👍 they had the look, and the sound. And it looked and sounded most excellent. Goose bumps.

Time has a way of sneaking up on you. Miss you Marie.R.I.P. And miss those days. Never get tired of listening to your voice and the music.

Man, this was HUGE in South Africa back in the late 80`s and early 90`s....

Marie, such a beautiful person and voice. I still listen. Paint, Keep Me Waiting, Queen of Rain.

They were the first concert I ever went to. It was amazing.

Used to listen to you guys as a kid and still does. Love you guys.

I felt in love with Roxette because of this song, back in the days...

When I first heard Savage Garden on the radio I immediately thought: "Oh, this is a new Roxette song?"

1988. Oh i was 8 years old. I live with the songs of Roxette since then.

I remember the first time I heard The Look, I was living in Hong Kong. I looked up and said outloud...what is this?! My friends showed me the album cover and I was hooked.

My favorite band of all time. From Their Title of their song from A-Z .. Just Fantastic
