Laura Branigan - The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye

[@davidc4]

As a Roxette fan i actually like this version. This was never a single for Roxette and wasnt even an album track. It was a B-Side and eventually released as part of a Rarities compilation. Considering it was never a single it is an excellent example of how good Roxette songs are. There are many covers. This being one of the best.

[@ЮлияКогтева-ю6у]

Agree with you

[@diegoshepherd3464]

I agree. Laura brings passion and packs a real punch.

[@mickwosika769]

Probably the most underrated Roxette song

[@natachabriceno2665]

Aunque pasen los años no habrá una voz tan bella y potente como la de Laura Branigan. Gracias Per Gessle de Roxette por darle a una artista como ella esta canciòn para interpretarla como una Diosa de la música ochentera y noventera

[@rodolfokemelmann111]

jamas va a superar{ ni igualar la version original cantada por Marie Fredriksson.

[@boselenyambe7750]

Music that will make you cry...

[@rubenspera6707]

Wonderful version! Roxette and Laura Branigan are underrated. I Hope that in future the stream will remember about these wonderful singers. For now it's not happened

[@irina1296]

Laura Branigan was real underrated treasure. Her vocal abilities were impressive. I loved her last studio album "Over My Heart" (1993) very much and this amazing track is my favorite on it R.I.P. darling, I miss you

[@kryer981]

We all have to die but at least Laura passed after there was no more music left for her to make.

[@antmin1284]

So sad that such a magnificient voice like Laura's doesn't sing anymore...R.I.P. Laura

I love this song. Trust me here, Laura is indeed still singing her heart out in a heavenly choir. Such a talent as hers would never go unnoticed! We will always love you Laura.

[@craigbrown3744]

God I still miss her, wandering how many more beautiful songs she could've done. loveyou Laura.

[@theLEMONS2009]

I am curious how many songs Laura did write but didn't release, I bet there had to be a bunch, since she wrote songs for her first album as well as "Over You" later on. I certainly hope her family has the songs, though they may never see the light of day, it would be a true shame if they were thrown out!

[@kryer981]

I think we received all we would ever get from her. That being said, "Over My Heart" was an outstanding swan song.

[@diegoshepherd3464]

Greatly missed

THE BEST forever

[@TexasFanOne]

Well, this is a tough choice, I like them both. I'd give Laura's version a slight preference, seems like it flows a little better, plus I really like that mysterious part from 3:33 to 3:52. I've listened to it many times and can't make out all the words, but it's really neat sounding, esp. with headphones I REALLY like Roxette as well. Buddy of mine gave me a couple of their albums not long ago, listen to them alot. Of course, I'm a HUGE LB fan, so may be a bit prejudiced. TF1 LB Brigade

[@granleonblanco1668]

..Laura Branigan si era tremenda cantante íntegra... ..no necesitaba de todo ese estúpido aparataje que usan seudas cantantes como Beyonce, Rihana, Shakira entre otras. ..Estudiada, productora de sus discos, comprometida con su trabajo. ..Ella si era una artista, no como los infelices de ahora que pegan 4 gritos como locas, y que reggaetón o bachata..pppprrrr...

[@winstonlim8]

There's another song of Laura's from SELF-CONTROL which I have never been able to find despite several attempts on Google. I can't remember the title any more but it doesn't seem to be on any of the list of tracks from the album which I've ever seen. I wish I could remember it as it was one of my favourite pop-rock numbers during the 80s. All I remember is it starts with some awesome drums and has the line "lying in the rings of the sun" in it. I hope someone can help me find that song again.

[@troybilharz]

Too Late!!! The Brigade noticed the comment that should find it's way back to a Roxette video :( Watch yourself with the Who is better comments, as WE ALL know Laura is the BEST!!! I got into this same arguement about Alphaville, but Laura would blow them right off the stage , and all the way to Alpha Centauri! Roxette, well, I happen to like them, so please refrain from such comments, or you will get our Irish blood boiling. Then, well, yea...bad things happen! We Love You Laura!

Now look, I have covered both Laura's songs, and Roxettes. I chose Laura's version of this, as I liked it better. :) I think there is enough room for both of these Ladies here on KZbin, without having a commenting war going on :) And as I said earlier, watch those comments, or you will tick off Branigan's Brigade, then the fur will fly! Go beat up on my cover version, and leave Laura alone! :-)

[@ferdelance1994]

@BraniFan777 yeah i go along with that..if u love laura as i do track is great, if u love roxette as i also do it's also great ,and if u love the two ladies then both tracks r superb...so comparison in my view is a bad call and bad marking the performers isn't cool. FOREVER BRANIGAN &LONG LIVE ROXETTE.

[@TheMsiaddict]

I think I like Roxette version first, the 2nd is Jason Donovan's and Laura Branigan is the last.

I prefer the arrangement of this version over the original, but it's as if Laura doesn't really mean the words she's singing. This is where Marie excells. Pity, I really like other performances of Laura's.
