Waiting for the Rain, a Marie track, recorded on Have a Nice Day, but we have the demo here. Yeah, it's Marie's demo she made at home. She had a great studio in her house outside of Stockholm, so she made a lot of demos in that studio together with her husband Michael and their friends who are also musicians. This is just a wonderful demo. It's almost similar to the finished product, so to speak, that was on Have a Nice Day. It was the first song ever that Marie wrote both lyrics and music to. Before, in the older days, when Marie wrote songs like Watercolours in the Rain or Half a Woman, Half a Shadow, for instance, it was always my lyrics and her music, but this is her own lyrics as well. I think it's one of her best songs. I really like this a lot. You can hear in her demo that it's already there, the arrangements and the horns and all the patterns are in there, so we just did some sort of an updated replica of that song for the real record. Could you put your finger on what it is about the song that you like so much? I guess what I like about it is that it's so different from what I'm writing. Marie was a slow writer. She didn't write that many songs. I always wrote songs. I always had like 10 songs on a roll. But when it came to making music for Roxette, she maybe wrote like two or three songs and in the end we used one or two maybe, but then I wrote like 45 and we used 15. So she was really slow, but when she did something, almost every time it was really good. Waiting for the Rain is a great pop melody. It's a great sort of Beatle vibe to it and it's very far away from my style of writing, which I enjoy, believe it or not.
