I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer (Peter’s Demo)The Cardigans

Producer: Peter Svensson

I had a child, I had a boy
It would go pretty in this world
It's alright for you to learn
From the saints that passed in our lives

It's the good times that we shared
And the bad times that we had
This is good times and the bad times that we had

And it's been a long and cold December
And I wish I had some time
Sometimes I feel to remember
From the saints that passed in our lives
I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times and the bad times that we had

I had a child, I had a boy
It would go pretty in this world
It's alright for you to learn
From the saints that passed in our lives

It's the good times that we shared
And the bad times that we had
It's the good times and the bad times that we had

And it's been a long and cold December
And I wish I had some time
Sometimes I feel to remember
From the saints that passed in our lives
I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times and the bad times that we had

I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer
You need to be nicer, oh yeah

Good times, bad times
Good times, bad times
Good times, bad times
Good times, bad times

Good times, bad times
Good times, bad times
Good times, bad times
Good times

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.
