Remembering THE CARDIGANS

Who will ever forget the hit song LOVEFOOL? "Love me, Love me, Say that you love me, Fool me, Fool me, Go on and fool me..." Admit it, you love it too! It was Oct 31,1992 when swedish band THE CARDIGANS was born, composed of 4 guys Peter Svensson, Magnus Sveningsson, Bengt Lagerberg, Lars-Olof Johansson and the only female in the band Nina Persson, I just so love the way she sing.



I still remember, I was in college when i enjoyed collecting cassette tapes and one of my favorite is their album FIRST BAND ON THE MOON, I never had any regrets of buying it.



I love the kind of music that they play, its like mixed of 60's and Pop music, i was like in my own world when ever i listen to them plus their MTV's are really awesome especially the uncut version of MY FAVOURITE GAME, which was also featured on the soundtrack of the Playstation video game Gran Turismo 2 for the opening sequence of races.



I trust this band, I really love them thats why i always make sure its on my mp3 player, it never fails to give pinch on my emotions when i listen to their music and recently i love listening to this song titled COMMUNICATION...



For the sake of singing along with the song, i include the lyrics here

For 27 years I’ve been trying to believe and confide in
Different people I’ve found.
Some of them got closer than others
And someone wouldn’t even bother and then you came around
I didn’t really know what to call you, you didn’t know me at all
But I was happy to explain.
I never really knew how to move you
So I tried to intrude through the little holes in your veins
And I saw you
But that’s not an invitation
That’s all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I’ve seen you, I know you
But I don’t know
How to connect, so I disconnect

You always seem to know where to find me and I’m still here behind you
In the corner of your eye.
I’ll never really learn how to love you
But I know that I love you through the hole in the sky.

Where I see you
And that’s not an invitation
That’s all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I’ve seen you, I know you
But I don’t know
How to connect, so I disconnect

Well this is an invitation
It’s not a threat
If you want communication
That’s what you get
I’m talking and talking
But I don’t know
How to connect
And I hold a record for being patient
With your kind of hesitation
I need you, you want me
But I don’t know
How to connect, so I disconnect
I disconnect.
