Ace Of Base - Beautiful Life - Live

“Beautiful Life“ is a hit song by Swedish band Ace of Base, released in the Autumn of 1995. In North America it was the first single released from the band’s The Bridge; in Europe it followed “Lucky Love“. The song was written on January 1, 1994 by band member Jonas Berggren while he was in the Canary Islands. His earlier song “The Sign“ had just hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 list. Berggren incorporated gospel elements into the song, and the single proved quite successful worldwide, reaching #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December, 1995 and on the UK Singles Chart. It also hit #1 on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. J.D. Considine of Spin magazine said in a writeup about The Bridge that “the real genius of Ace of Base lies not with perky singing... but with the ability to make melancholy sound so damned appealing.“ The evaluation continues to narrow in scope as he continues to say “even the cheerfully titled ’Beautiful life’ dampens its club-savvy stomp with a heartbreaking minor key chorus.“ (Ace_of_Base_song) You can do what you want just seize the day What you’re doing tomorrow’s gonna come your way Don’t you ever consider givin’ up, you will find, oooh It’s a beautiful life, oh oh ooo It’s a beautiful life, oh oh ooo It’s a beautiful life, oh oh ooo I just wanna be here beside you stay until the break of dawn Take a walk in the park when you feel down There’s so many things there that’s gonna lift you up See the nature in bloom a laughing child Such a dream, oooh It’s a beautiful life, oh oh ooo It’s a beautiful life, oh oh ooo It’s a beautiful life, oh oh ooo I just wanna be here beside you I just wanna be here beside you stay until the break of dawn You’re looking for somewhere to belong You’re standing all alone for someone to guide you on your way Now and Forever It’s a beautiful life, oh oh ooo It’s a beautiful life, oh oh ooo It’s a beautiful life, oh oh ooo I just wanna be anybody Living in different ways It’s a beautiful life I’m gonna take you to a place I’ve never been before oh yeah It’s a beautiful life I’m gonna take you in my arms and fly away with you tonight It’s a beautiful life, oh oh ooo It’s a beautiful life, oh oh ooo It’s a beautiful life, oh oh ooo It’s a beautiful life, oh oh ooo It’s a beautiful life, oh oh ooo It’s a beautiful life
