最近得知瑞典雙人組羅克賽特（Roxette）女主唱瑪麗（Marie Fredriksson）去世（１２月９日）, 享壽６１歲。

羅克賽特是筆者接觸歐美流行音樂初期相當喜愛的歌曲, 也蒐集過他們不少專輯, 今年夏天介紹他們歌曲時, 才注意到瑪麗罹患腦癌, 沒想到年底就去世了,

因此聽到這新聞會有所感慨。

感謝羅克賽特留下這麼多動聽的歌曲, 也謝謝他們帶給筆者美好的回憶。

瑞典流行雙人組［羅克賽特］──軟式搖滾抒情曲──〔Crash ! Boom !Bang !／石破天驚〕

My Papa told me to stay out of trouble:

"When youve found your man, make sure hes for real!".

Ive learned that nothing really lasts forever

I sleep with the scars I wear that wont heal.

They wont heal

Cos everytime I seem to fall in love

Crash! Boom! Bang!

I find the heart but then I hit the wall

Crash! Boom! Bang!

Thats the call, thats the game and the pain stays the same.

Im walking down this empty road to nowhere

I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.

My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow

But I always did, and Lord, I still do

Im still breaking the rules

{I kick it up}

{I kick it down}

Cos everytime I seem to fall in love

Crash! Boom! Bang!

I find the heart but then I hit the wall

Crash! Boom! Bang!

Thats my real middle-name

It has always been the same

Thats the call, thats the game and the pain stays the same.

I still feel the heat

{Slowly fallin from the sky}

And the taste of the kissing

Shattered by rain

{Comin tumblin from behind}

And the wild holy war.

And everytime I seem to fall in love

Crash! Boom! Bang!

I find the roses dying on the floor

Crash! Boom! Bang!

{Crash! Boom! Bang!}

Thats the call, thats the game and the pain stays the same.

Thats my real middle-name

It has always been the same

Oh yea, Oh yea, Oh yea

Been the same, been the same

It has always been the same

It has always been the same

全球賣出４百萬張

美國並沒正式發行　以較短且較便宜的十首歌曲版本［Favorites from Crash! Boom! Bang!］在麥當勞速食店用促銷的方式賣出１００萬張（因被當成宣傳CD 因此沒算到Billboard專輯榜）

１６首曲目的進口完整版只賣了４.６萬張

不過為行銷專輯的巡迴演唱Crash! Boom! Bang! Tour依舊賣座

首支主打［Sleeping in My Car］在瑞典與歐洲成為暢銷曲

由Per Gessle譜寫　被製作成一首軟式搖滾抒情曲
