Music career

Early work

Per Gessle was a founding member of Gyllene Tider, in 1976. They quickly became a popular group in Sweden, but after their fourth album, The Heartland Café (1984), sold poorly compared to their previous albums, the group disbanded. Gessle wrote. "We decided to put Gyllene Tider to rest... until further notice."

In 1982, Gessle released his first solo album, Per Gessle and after Gyllene Tider split-up his second album, Scener, quickly appeared in 1985.

Roxette

After the success of their first hit "Neverending Love", which was written by Gessle, they quickly recorded Pearls of Passion using material which was originally intended for Per's third solo album.

    Historier Vi Kan

    by: Per Gessle

    (English: Stories We Could Tell)
    Words by Per Gessle, Music by John Sebastian
    Published by Warner/Chappell Music Scandinavia AB
    Talar till mej själv igen / och undrar / Varför gör man det man gör? /
    Reser runt på samma väg / i samma spår som för / Åh historier vi kan /
    Om allting togs ifrån en / och försvann / så kan jag fortfarande se
    henne / på ett hotellrum någonstans / lyssna på historier vi kan
    Hitta en gitarr / med sliten kropp och hals / med många år bakom sej /
    för inga pengar alls / och sprickorna i lacken / och jacken i dess
    band / berättar dom historier den kan
    Åh historier den kan / om alla sånger / som den har fött fram / Jag
    önskar att vi satt / på ett hotellrum någonstans / och lyssna på
    historier den kan
    Så om du är på turné / och spelar varje kväll / och tiden far iväg så
    fort / och du undrar för dej själv / varför du inte tar ett tåg / och
    hoppar av nånstans / så svara med historier du kan
    Åh historier du kan / Innan du och jag / skiljs från varann / jag
    önskar att vi satt / på ett hotellrum någonstans / och lyssna på
