I wrote "Walk Right In" on Piano in May 2020
I love that chord progression, which actually happened by accident
I played E minor, then G minor instead of G major
Which is the standard companion to the E minor chord
At least in my book, it sounded really exciting and very unusual coming from me
I did a simple instrumental demo at the TNA studio
And played it over and over again until I could create the melody that felt perfect
And I wrote the lyrics very quickly
Early on when I wrote the song
I realized that I'm gonna have a hard time singing this one
The ending of each sentence is very long, I can't really do that
So, who am I gonna call? Helena Josephson, of course
Helena came up to the studio in Hamster and nailed it immediately
Wow, she was really up for the challenge
It's a tough one to sing for sure
I sent the new demo to Clarence Olvermann and Mangus Barryson
And who of course found a whole new angle to the song
They created this bass and groove in a Giorgio Moroder
Style that I didn't have on my demo at all
I thought it was really clever, and I was really blown away by it
It had to be the album closer because it's so special
I'm a lucky guy who have all these wonderful people around me
Who helped me create the music I hear in my head
This album has been a treat both to write and to record
It's been wonderful and very rewarding to gather all the old friends
From the Roxette family as well as some new ones
I'm the blessed one here
Thank you
