Hanging Around (Jasmine St. Claire Mix)The Cardigans

[Verse 1]
I wonder what it's like seeing through your eyes
You've  offered me to have a try but I was always late
The  filters that I use give me an excuse
I take away what's real, I feel it and it blows my fuse

[Chorus]
I hang around for another round
I'm  hanging around for another round
I'm  hanging on to the same old song
I hang around for another round
Until  something stops me

[Verse 2]
I wonder what it's like walking by your side
To think before I talk and to move at the same speed as you walk
I wanna have a way to keep me in your state
I'm  watching from above, I love it but it's not for me

[Chorus]
I hang around for another round
I'm hanging around for another round
I'm hanging on to the same old song
I hang around for another round
Until something stops me

The Cardigans

One of the most pleasing pop groups of the ‘90s, the Cardigans specialized in sugary confections that would grow annoying very quickly if they weren’t backed by solid musicianship and clever arrangements. The band’s 1995 breakout album, Life, reflected the Cardigans at their most saccharine – the sunny disposition of vocalist Nina Persson being the major argument in favor – and critics inserted the group into the space age pop revivalist camp. the Cardigans later proved that they were more difficult to pigeonhole, however.

Even the band’s origins showed that their later appearance was quite misleading; two heavy metal fanatics formed the group in October 1992 in Jonkoping, Sweden. Guitarist Peter Svensson met bassist Magnus Sveningsson in a hardcore group, though he had previously trained in music theory and jazz arranging. The two later grew tired of metal and decided to form a pop band with vocalist Nina Persson – an art-school friend who had never sung professionally – plus keyboard player Lars-Olof Johansson and drummer Bengt Lagerberg.

All five Cardigans moved into a small apartment in 1993 and began recording a demo tape that entered the hands of producer Tore Johansson later that year. He liked what he heard and invited the group to record at his Malmö studio. Signed to the dance-oriented Stockholm label, the Cardigans released Emmerdale in May 1994. The single “Rise & Shine” became a hit on Swedish radio soon after the release of the LP, and a readers poll in Sweden’s Slitz magazine voted Emmerdale the best album of 1994.
