My Fave Songs is going to be a new recurring feature on my blog about the songs which I consider are 5/5 stars. My inaugural post is The Sign by Ace of Base.
The Sign was one of the first songs I liked when I started listening to “popular” music in my early teens. Because I liked The Sign so much, I became a fan of Ace of Base even when though they weren’t mainstream or really popular. I bought all their North American releases (The Sign, The Bridge, Cruel Summer) and scoured on Ebay to get their greatest hits. I even searched and downloaded most of their discography BEFORE the days of Napster.
Even now, I still enjoy The Sign as much as when I first heard it. It has a lot of musical elements which I still prefer; the strong female vocals and dance beat. Because of Ace of Base’s europop influence, I listened to eurodance extensively for five years, and even now when it is out of style. The Sign was one of the songs of my formative years and because of that it had major influence and I don’t think I will ever get tired of it.
