The Hit from the CD "The Sign" / 4
This CD contains two versions of the hit song "The Sign," along with two additional tracks that were represented on the full length CD "The Sign," though in a different form.
When Ace of Base debuted, they were hailed as the 1990s version of Abba. Just like many other groups that have been hailed as successors to a previous group (remember Oasis being hailed as the successors to the Beatles?), Ace of Base fizzled fast, leaving the memory of the monster-selling song "The Sign."
What was so catchy when this came out? Well, the beat, of course. The lyrics were basically easy to remember and sing to, and the tunes were easy on the ears. Truthfully, they did sound in many ways like a techno version of Abba.
Really then, how is the music? Well, dated. It really is Abba turned techno pop. While the music sounds different when you first listen to it, after a while it is so repetitive that it can become annoying. Their style changes very little from song to song, that after a while you start to realize that you are hearing a variation on a style, and not a style that encompasses a lot of breadth. I guess you could say that this is a group that has a lot of depth and not too much breadth.
I originally thought about giving this CD 3 stars, and decided that was unfair, because their music is technically well done, and it was original at the time they came out. Furthermore, it is still relatively unique. However, their music doesn't explore its bounds, it just stays boxed up in a small area.
Even though I give this CD 4 stars, I stop short of recommending it as a "must have". The music was so incredibly popular because of its radio appeal, not because it was breakthrough or the greatest quality. If you've heard "The Sign" on the radio and like it then this is one of several options to get that particular song. You may also want to consider the full length CD "The Sign."
Song "I Pray"
When I was young I dreamed about
oh so many places
when I was young I never thought I'd be afraid
the years go by and with it comes
oh so many changes
you know what I mean
I pray there's another day
sunshine on the morning water
what a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
and in my youth I realised nothing lasts forever
I find myself remembering those happy days
follow me and I'll show you all the colours of the rainbow
you know what I mean
I pray there's another day
sunshine on the morning water
what a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
don't wait don't be late
you don't have a second left to hesitate
walk, talk do it all
nothing you can do will break the fall
turn and turn
tell me what are you seeing
clear your mind
if you want to be free
be there
turn around expectations
say goodbye to complications
be there, be there
I pray there's another day
sunshine on the morning water
what a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
I pray
I pray
I pray there's another day
sunshine on the morning water
what a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
I pray
I pray
I pray there's another day
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
