ALBUM: TOURISM

LABEL: EMI MUSIC SWEDEN

GENRE: POP ROCK

YEAR: 1992

Tourism: Songs from Studios, Stages, Hotelrooms & Other Strange Places is the fourth studio album by Swedish pop duo Roxette, released on 28 August 1992 by EMI. Despite often being mistaken for a live album, the record was described by Roxette in its liner notes as a "tour album": the band recorded the majority of its material in numerous recording studios in-between live dates of their worldwide "Join the Joyride! Tour". The album contains three live concert recordings, while another track was recorded live in an empty nightclub in São Paulo. A further two tracks were recorded in Buenos Aires' Alvear Palace Hotel.

The album received mixed reviews from American publications upon release, with several of them confused over its concept, and incorrectly describing it as containing just five previously unreleased songs. It also under-performed on the Billboard 200, peaking at number 117 on the chart and selling approximately 275,000 copies—far short of the million-selling Joyride. Nevertheless, the album was a commercial success in Europe, and was certified platinum in numerous territories. As of 2001, Tourism has sold over 6 million copies worldwide.

It must have been love but it's over now

Lay a whisper on my pillow

Leave the winter on the ground

I wake up lonely, there's air of silence

In the bedroom and all around (and all around)

Touch me now, I close my eyes

And dream away

It must have been love but it's over now

It must have been good but I lost it somehow

It must have been love but it's over now

From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out

Make-believing we're together

That I'm sheltered by your heart

inRead invented by Teads

But in and outside I've turned to water

Like a teardrop in your palm

And it's a hard winter's day

I dream away

It must have been love but it's over now

(It must have been love but it's over now)

It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without

It must have been love but it's over now

(It must have been love, the winds blows)

It's where the water flows

It's where the wind blows

It must have been love but it's over now

(It must have been love but it's over now)

It must have been good but I lost it somehow

It must have been love but it's over now

(It must have been love but it's over now)

From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out

Yeah! it must have been love but it's over now

(It must have been love but it's over now)

It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without

It must have been love but it's over now

(The winds blows)

It's where the water flows

It's where the wind blows

Ohh!

(It must have been love but it's over now)

But it's over now

Now!

(It must have been love but it's over now)

(It must have been love but it's over now)

Now!
