Roxette, It Must Have Been Love - Amy’s First Listen And Analysis

I never liked this song. It was too commercial for me. I still don't like it. Too safe. I'd rather listen to something more adventurous and experimental. Something like Revolution 9 to be honest. Pop Music doesn't have sound like a TV advert, does it? I have to listen to some Bob Dylan now to cleanse my ears from this.

2025-01-22 18:33:15 +0000 UTCYou should definitely dive into ABBA. I'm actually a Queen fan, but ABBA is really something that takes you to another world.

2025-01-22 15:40:21 +0000 UTCAs I understand it, this song started as a Christmas song (Christmas for the Broken-hearted) and this version was slightly rewritten a few years later, so it definitely has some wintery DNA in it.

2025-01-22 13:53:03 +0000 UTCAlthough this was Roxette's signature song (because it was on the soundtrack of a hit film), it isn't nearly their best. For a better power ballad, try Fading Like a Flower. For a hard rocking song, try The Look,

2025-01-22 13:31:52 +0000 UTCThe sound mix of the song looks and sounds awfully low. Are you sure you received the full experience? Could it be a poor quality audio file?
