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!
