When being in metal bands didn’t work out, Peter Svensson and Magnus Sveningsson moved in a different direction. They picked up drummer Bengt Lagerberg, Lars-Olof Johansson on keyboards, and the Sonja Henie-like Nina Persson out front. Demos in the early 90s led to a Swedish deal and a debut album entitled Emmerdale (1994), followed by the global multi-platinum Life in 1995. The streak continued through the band’s third album, First Band on the Moon (known for a cheeky version of Black Sabbath’s Iron Man).
This single is one of three taken from Grand Turismo, the fourth record. It began as a slow Neil Young-ish acoustic track but producer Tore Johansson encouraged the band to speed it up. It worked.
