Maybe it’s because I wanted to know How it felt to be free and wanted again To take it all in to see where I could go Where the winds would take me to the shore You did all to please me I won’t fall that easy Secret Secret, tears me apart Why did I follow my heart? I gave you the truth you don’t know what it means I gave you the love that I kept in my dreams Secret Secret, look at me now Wasting the time of my life Late in the night you were talking to me I was a fool, you were simple and free Maybe it’s time to shake things around To use all the moments that I found Predicting the life that I could lead There’s so much around to be noticed and seen You did all to please me I won’t fall that easy Secret Secret, tears me apart Why did I follow my heart? I gave you the truth you don’t know what it means I gave you the love that I kept in my dreams Secret Secret, look at me now Wasting the time of my life Late in the night you were talking to me I was a fool, you were simple and free It’s easy said it will be alright Never wanted to start a fight Secret Secret, tears me apart Why did I follow my heart? I gave you the truth you don’t know what it means I gave you the love that I kept in my dreams Secret Secret, look at me now Wasting the time of my life Late in the night you were talking to me I was a fool you were simple and free

Hold me tight or let me go Half-heartedly I won’t know If it’s the way we are when we’re together Close the book and blow the light You mistook me before the fight For someone hesitant and easily pushed over I hope you regret for some time Making me sad not wondering why No one should make you feel that way There’s no excuse, no excuse As I lay me down to sleep I won’t think because it’ll make me weep You will never feel content that’s it So you’ll be sad and lonely everyday There’s something going on That makes us turning wrong No one to hold you close Keep you safe and sound We had a chance Hold me tight or let me go Half-heartedly I won’t know If it’s the way we are when we’re together Close the book and blow the light

He’s not a fool He’s not an ordinary guy who set the rules I can’t explain The way it felt when he stood close and grabbed my hand Oh last night we stayed up late But at least that’s something He’s my Saturday He makes a week of clouds just go away This is the right time Oh lord above me Please make him love me He’s my Saturday He makes the Mondays, Tuesdays feel ok I never knew that I could fall this hard Please make him love me I stayed inside I stayed inside the day he took her for a ride He’s not at home He’s not at home and I swear he’s not alone Oh I wish I’d done so much Instead of nothing He’s my Saturday He makes a week of clouds just go away This is the right time Oh lord above me Please make him love me He’s my Saturday He makes the Mondays, Tuesdays feel ok I never knew that I could fall this hard Please make him love me Why can’t you see how much I needed you that day I was here but you where somewhere far away How come it felt like all your feeling went away When I asked you to stay Why did you shy away

Dear John 03:15
When you turn the page You should read it out loud Then take it from the start Try not to fall apart And continue Never tried, never lost So much easier to hide We never had that talk You need to know So these things are written Those days are gone Suddenly I knew that time didn’t change you Suddenly I felt that days were too long That is why I write, Dear John When you turn the page I’m somewhere far away I hope I’m finding out the reasons why and where I am going It’s a lot, I know So I’ll tell you why I go I was outside for a walk and the birds were singing “These are the rumours” “These are the lies” Suddenly I knew that you didn’t need me Suddenly I felt my love wasn’t strong That is why I write, Dear John Dear John Dear John Suddenly I knew that you didn’t need me Suddenly I felt my love wasn’t strong That is why I write, Dear John

NEW ADVENTURES IN POP 014

PUSHY PARENTS was born as a project which was created exclusively for the studio and not for live performances. It was a special type of laboratory experiment, with a super band comprised of four musicians with an array of experiences in other groups, where some even worked as composers, producers and DJs for other respectable artists. Amanda Aldervall always proclaimed herself as a big fan of Amelia Fletcher and she demonstrated that with FREE LOAN INVESTMENTS, and then later with THE BUSY BAND and currently with her solitary project, THE ANDERSEN TAPES, which just released, “As I Write 'Today' Ten Times”. Roger Gunnarsson is another key figure in the current twee pop scene, as he was an important member of the FREE LOAN INVESTMENTS, THE HAPPY BIRTHDAYS and THE GARLANDS. If we had to highlight just one aspect of the career of Gunnarsson, it would be his solitary project, NIXON, with various records released, increasing their fan base tremendously, within the indie pop world, and of course, with the compositions and productions for Cloetta Paris and Sally Saphiro. The third member in question is Daniel Jansson, former member of THE CONSEQUENCES but better known for playing and composing songs with the reputable Swedish singer, winner of various Swedish Grammy Awards, Anna Ternheim. Finally, Le Prix has been known throughout the music world for productions and remixes, as well as compositions for artists such as Kylie Minogue and Sally Saphiro.

Let’s talk about the first reference because the four compositions included in this limited edition 7” forms part of our collection of groups, “New Adventures in Pop”, which demonstrates from the beginning to end, an unmistakable personality in which the pop melodies of eternal breath, the marksmanship of Swedish pop, blend together in an exquisitely produced ambience. The background of this group is clear, once you hear the end of “He’s My Saturday”, a precious song which starts off sounding like Nancy Sinatra and little by little converts into a bit of NORTHERN SOUL, finishing with those choruses and bells until you get your fill. When you hear the rhythm of the dignified hit, “Secret Secret”, filled with the robust base sounds, you will see for yourself they are tremendously addictive, as if VELOCETTE covered Skeeter Davis under the musical supervision of SLOWDIVE. “Hold Me Tight or Let Me Go” is the perfect song, halfway between THE SMITHS, SAMBASSADEUR and EVEN AS WE SPEAK. After three incredible pop songs with a sixties feel, they say goodbye with “Dear John”, a mix between synth pop and dream pop, such as LUSH and PACIFIC. These songs could possibly be sampled by THE GO! TEAM and fans of BROADCAST would be proud.

Four perfect songs, created and conceived with an enormous amount of detail paid to the sound, such as the arrangements, together with incredible and emotional lyrics focused on love and personal relationships.
