AROUND THE CORNER (THE COMFORT SONG).
"Music is an extraordinary thing. It can bring a smile to your face and create so many wonderful images in your heart and mind. It can also help you through grim times. Some songs even feel like they were written just for you, especially for you. Isn’t that strange? Or maybe it just means we’re all the same?
I finished writing ”Around The Corner” the day after Marie died. Three days later my mother-in-law died. Death was on the plate. I wrote it for me. But I guess I also wrote it for all of you out there. We are many who lost someone dear and don’t really know where to go.
I spent an intense afternoon in the T&A Studio with MP Persson on December 16th. Two days later Helena Josefsson jumped on a northbound train and joined us for some singing. I didn’t really listen that much over xmas but the first week of January 2020 I sent what we’d done to Clarence Öfwerman who wrapped it up with some beautiful sounds and poured even more love over it.
Here it is, my comfort song."
P.
LYRICS
Around The Corner (The Comfort Song)
Hold a candle to your heart
Let the shadows on your face
Rock you gently with their grace
It’s been a long and lonely day
I don’t know what you’ve been through
You have to continue to care about you
Things have to end to start anew
No one can change those rules
In the dark the earth keeps on turning
Craving for some morning light
It takes the backroads, fools the night
It knows the sun is burning
Somewhere around the corner
Around the corner
Do get some rest, you need it bad
Sometimes the laughter just makes you sad
Sometimes the joy can make you so scared
It’s been a long and lonesome day
I can’t tell what you’ve been through
But I won’t ever stop telling you
Some things have to go to start anew
I know it I’ve been there too
In the dark the earth keeps on turning
Longing for the morning light
It takes the backroads and fools the night
It knows the sun is shining
Somewhere around the corner
Around the corner

I think that both Per and Marie were extremely lucky to meet and have managed to stay together in band for so many years. This is an example of incredible friendship. A relationship based on trust and respect. They could always rely on each other. In the early years Roxette Marie played the first violin on stage, Per was a bit behind, creating and composing, but both were equally important in this duo. Between them there was no jealousy, only agreement. When Marie got sick, it turned out that she was not only delicate and sensitive, but unbelievably strong, she insisted that she would overcome the disease and return on the stage and she succeeded. But it was a different return, Marie was calmer, focused on singing and Per had to take over part of her solo parts and take on building contact with the audience. And in this situation they both found each other perfectly.I miss Marie, not only the artist, but above all a good and smart human.

Beautiful tribute, I'm sure Marie is looking down from heaven smiling, she will forever have a place in our hearts. Very nicely done Per.
Can't stop crying here. You know the feeling of expectation? Expectating something you were used to...thats Marie's voice. I craved for her voice in this song, just to be saddly reminded she's not here anymore. Our mind can play painfull tricks on us

Impossible for me. This is so, so Helena. Her own warm universe.
I love Helena's voice, but I somehow instinctively was waiting for Marie to start singing, this song is so made for her voice, although it's definitely Per, text and music wise. I also feel like the text is made to soothe both fans and Marie's immediate family, Micke, Josefin and Oscar. I wish them strength and peace...❤
A beautiful song! Per is a Genius ! 👌🏻
As Marie once said - absolutely "Per Gessle-ish" song. But more wiser, soul touching, with some Marie's composing style. Beautiful song! Thank you, Per! God bless you!

A beautiful song Per. You have such a wonderful way with creating melodies and beautifully crafted songs. I'm so grateful for the music you created with Marie, and the music you create now.
Thanks a lot. I will always love you. Уou always warmed my heart with your music💗
What a brilliant masterpiece by Per once again!!! And Helena's voice is so soothing and so inside the spirit of the song, makes it sound like a prayer. Thank you both, we so much needed this.

Beautiful song with extremely beautiful lyrics! Thank you so much, Per! Marie would have loved it. It’s hard to listen to it after all that hapernd but thank you for also a moment of encouragement! 🧡
Beautiful song , I also miss Mary too much but thanks Per because you are among us , you should come to México please
I used to think I knew what sorrow was. How it felt, the tasted, the feel. The turning in my chest. I was no wrong. To Marie family, warn regards during this time. I only knew Roxette from the radio. In recent years discovering so, so many songs. She will be missed.
Positive vibes in very dark times. Keep up the good work Per
I love you per gessle and helena josefsson, the voice of an Angel .

It is kind of impossible not to remember and imagine Marie's voice while listening to this song. Stunning piece of music. Lots of love from Brazil, where Roxette has always been very famous! 💚💛
Such a great song writer
nothing compares to you Marie Fredriksson! R.I.P my queen ❤
Roxette was the band, that I discovered music through. Later came other groups, my taste moved to hard rock and heavy metal eventually, but still I come back to Roxette. Joyride was my firts album that I fel in love with. Joyride was my first song, that I fel in love with. I was able to listen the whole album two or three times in a row on my first walkman in my bed before I fel asleep. I my room covered all in Roxette poster. Walls, doors, furniture. Roxette t-shirts, Roxette badges. I was 11... Thank you Per, thank you Marie. You shaped my late childhood.

The same thing happened to me, I love music thanks to Roxette, my tastes moved from alternative music to the most extreme metal (death and black metal) but I always had a space for Roxette and similar bands, I will always have great respect for them.
“....the sun is burning..somewhere around the corner “...Very moving
We could use a LOT of of this type of magic, Per!
Beautiful..Thanks Per🙏
Thank you Per. Thank you Marie. Thank you for the music. Thank you for bringing Roxette into my life. Yes, we may all be different but essentially we are the same. We are all human. We laugh, we cry, we all hurt the same. Things may never be the same again but things will slowly get better. And eventually time heals but it doesn't mean we will forget altogether. Your lyrics sum it up beautifully. We are here for you Per (and the Roxette family). ❤️
Wonderfull song...love you Per Gessle..love you Marie
Deep song. Deep video. Oh man.... it's so hard to lost a loved one.
Tusen Takk Per og Helena for en Nydelig sang ❤❤❤
Helena did a wonderful job on this song. She is not trying to replace Marie as nobody could. But life doesn't stand still and we shouldn't expect Per to just hang it up. We need to support the new music.

Thank you so much Per. I am relistening every day so many songs from Roxette I enjoyed in my life....and now I hear this beautiful song that sounds so much as a Roxette like song...that tears are about to be dropped. I love that Roxette style in this song....that I only wish that you Per...keep on writing and composing more songs like these. So that our souls get a little bit better since Marie has gone. Thanks....again from Argentina. I want more!

Very good!!! tribute for Marie Per. You got the best off her for us. It Will remind for ever but you Said without her ... It Will Never be the same. Greetins for Argentine. 🇦🇷🇸🇪
Beautiful song. Some teardrops are falling from my eyes, my mother passed away last year, and some months later Marie. I thank Per because the lyrics are about one has to keep on living. Thanks to Helena too for his soft and talented voice. May God bless Marie's family and friends and give them strength.

What a beautiful Song ... I miss Maries voice 😪
So beautiful. Touching and heartbreaking at the same time. There're so deep feelings in this song, just teared up on listening to it. Thanks for that. Lots of love to the Rox-family in Sweden and around the world.

It turned out just great, Helena’s voice is very gentle and bright, a very pacifying composition turned out. Thanks Per!

I can't imagine anything more delicate, warm and beautiful than Helena singing this kind of perfect lullaby for us. She's a sensual angel. I don't miss any one of the turns of her voice... each subtle sign in her suggestive whispers seems to be new every time. I've noticed nobody cares about her. We're not really listening to the lyric by Per... At the same time we say it is Great and Meaningful, we're missing a Great part of its Meaning...
🙏🌠♥️😢Thanks for this!
oh gosh, i cant stop crying listening your song... oh how i miss so much her voice...
Beautiful and so sad at the same time, tack så mycket Per och Helena, fin sång.
Thanks P. I think we are all conected in some way .your song reaches me as a caress to my soul...

Très belle chanson en hommage à Marie qui nous manque encore tant... Mairie et Per resteront parmi mes chanteurs préférés pour le reste de ma vie. Presque 5 ans que tu nous as quittés, et comment ne pas oublier vos chansons et vos voix. RIP Marie. Very nice song in tribute to Marie who we still miss so much...
