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.

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

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

RIP Marie, terrific singer and stunning beauty.

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

RIP Marie Fredriksson 🙏. 09 December 2019

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

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! 🤘🏻🇦🇺😊

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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!!!

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

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

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

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!

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

I bought every album. Just brilliant. RIP Marie

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

One of my favorite songs, ever!!!

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

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!.

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

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

One of the best band ever..Roxette forever ✌

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.

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

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!!!!!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

He is a down to earth genuine musician!

Thanks Per for creating beautiful music

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

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

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.

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

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

She had the best hair!

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

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

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❤️🦋

One of the best music groups in history!

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

Love him! Friendy, kind, with a healthy confidence

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Best music Group from Sweden 👍👍🇸🇪

this GROUP IS A TREASURE WE MISS MARIE!!

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

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

I love Per so much!! Always that guitar man behind Marie, allowing her to have the spotlight, while he was the words she was singing! Thank you, Roxette! Rip, beloved Marie, we'll never forget you!!

Great band and great memories......

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

My favorite song. Played it in my car in high school and still play it whenever I can. Best song ever and will never get tired of this song.

One of my favorite bands of all time! And I had a kiddie crush on Per Gessle as a teenager.

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 !!

I don't know how I stumbled across this channel but I'm so happy. Thank you for this awesome content!

Man, This is Just Gold!...I learn This after 33 years...Per is a Genius!...

Bought the album in 88 while stationed on the Coast Guard Cutter Boutwell and fell in love with it and cranked the volume to max. Great song, album and group. Brought back lots of memories. RIP Marie

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

This is such a fantastic video - I loved this time in music, Roxette and this song! Thanks for sharing.

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.

One of the best songs ever.

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

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

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

Now THIS is a song! Love it so much!!!

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