Lyrics:
I,I gotta new life
You would hardly recognize me I'm so glad
How could a person like me care for you?
(Why?)Why do I bother
When you're not the one for me
Ooooo, is enough, enough?
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up to get into the light where you belong...
But where do you belong?
Under the pale moon
For so many years I've wondered who you are
How could a person like you bring me joy?
Under the pale moon
Where I see a lot of stars
Ooooo Is enough, enough?
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up to get into the light where you belong...
But where do you belong?
I saw the sign and it opened up my mind!
And I am happy now living without you
I've left you, oh-oh-OH!
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up to get into the light where you belong
(I saw the sign - I saw the sign) I saw the sign!
(I saw the sign - I saw the sign)
(i saw the sign - i saw the sign) i saw the sign!
And it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign! (sign, sign,sign)
no lip syncing, how refreshing
Yes this actually looked like live
No lip syncing.
Respectable.
finally, i real live one.
all i can find is playback
No, only the singing is live, the rest is still stupid 100% playback. Why even putting a keyboard on the stage o.O ...
+Lofote Well, not to make excuses, but the general problem with keyboards on stage is that the performance tends to be so static and boring. The guys wanted to look more dynamic and exciting, which would have messed up their playing, so they decided to not actually play. They couldn't have played all of the parts of the song anyway (and weren't going to stuff a larger band or orchestra into this tiny space), so they decided to use sequencers or a recording or whatever for the whole backing track. Personally, I'd prefer that they play, but to tell you the truth I barely noticed anyway with the girls actually singing live up front, which was and is somewhat of a rarity (for most any performer) on TV.
rbrtck The 80s and 90s unfortunately were like that, with mostly even full playback, which Ace of Base unfortunately also had a lot. Yeah :(
About the dynamic thing: well, I think one rule for any musician would be crucial: "What you see is what you hear". Meaning, if I see a musician do sound (either play on an instrument or sing), I expect that this is not fake but actually heared. So in case of Ace of Base just like most other synth-oriented bands, I do not expect that everything I hear is live, they can use backing tapes and/or sequencers, but what their hands or mouths or feet actually play, should be live. Everything else just looks stupid ;).
Lofote For the record, I totally agree with you in regard to playing live. I was just trying to figure out how they might have justified their pantomime to themselves, but that doesn't make it right.
Nirvana only did one like that out of many shows`
Esta actuación,y otras muchas que se pueden encontrar en RUclips,es un zasca en toda la bocaza para esos necios que dicen que nunca cantaban en directo,hay varias grabaciones en las que se aprecia perfectamente que cantaban muy bien en directo.Linn te echo mucho de menos,ya se que nunca volverás,espero que estés bien y seas muy feliz.
Jenny's face.... 💖 What a beautiful doll..... 🥰 And i love the way she says "joooy" 😘
Is it me or do their natural voices sound better than with the backtrack
Lo mismo digo, paraba encontrando puro playback hasta que por fin los he oido en vivo. Y SUENAN DE PUTA MADRE!!!
Why can't I stop listening to this song
Those two had SO MANY different looks. Every single one worked for them, too. They could wear a trash bag and start a trend..
The Brown Hair girl has a nice voice.
Her name is Jenny
I like Jenny Singing voice too
That brown hair girl is Jenny.
And she is very beatiful
Man i miss real music. Actually playing instruments singing live and the audience is enjoying it without a cell phone! Ahh those were the days.
The blonde is absolutely gorgeous
I've had a huge crush on the blonde for over 20 years.
who cares
theyre both fk beautiful
Daniel Bone isn’t she gorgeous
thats a good wholesome crush my dude!
she has a name u know lol
where are you Linn we miss you pls come back !!!!!
Now this is more like it! last video i looked up was synced, when i search for live performances i know they are not going to sound as good, but thats the point, i want to hear it live.
+Sonic Pulse This comes pretty darn close to the recording, though, so if anyone ever doubted that these girls could sing live--or at all, heh--they can put those doubts to rest. In fact, these vocals are cleaner and more natural than on the recording--less reverb to my ear (if any), and of course no Auto-Tune is used anywhere (hadn't even been invented yet).
This song is so damn true
Yes the Chile video is pure sync 😂
Excellent live perform!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
1:51 awwwwww ;) I Miss the 90's .
2:28 she never tries the high note like in the studio version
Que hubiera dado por ir a un concierto y ver a estos angeles cantar.
si! q melancolia!
Cuanta verdad,como me gustaba la rubia, me tuvo a maltraer varias noches de insomnio jaja
Eu Tb adoraria ter visto um show desta banda fantástica! Amo Ace of Base!
aparte de hermosas unas voces increiblemente bellas como me encantaria casarme con la rubia
A ponerse en la fila entonces jaja
As an 80's baby that grew up with the 90's...those two female leads in Ace Of Base were badasses.
+CitySkin09 I don't know, as a 70s baby that grew up with the 80s, they look like a couple of cutie-pies to me--nice, classy young ladies with beautiful, distinctive singing voices.
They almost sound like they have the same voice.
Probably the only footage of them singing live. Either that, or the vocals were pre-recorded specifically for ToTP. From memory, that's always been the deal for that program.
Nope all live buddy
Provide proof or stfu
Thanks👌
All that she wants was recorded singing live. But Jenny sang off tune at some points lol
@@southlondon86 1990s Abba they weren't. :D
their voice is unique. thats why AOB becomes distinctive. 🖤
Linn looks like an amish with that outfit
+Alphonse Elric She rocks the Amish look. I bet Linn could rock a burlap sack with her head shaved. :)
This was on MTV .. ALL DAY ALL NIGHT ... loved this track
This is the only performance of this band singing the song that I have seen that was not lip-synched. It makes me wonder why they lip-synched in the first place?
Sure they’re singing to playback of a synth rhythm track and yes it’s a light infectious pop song, yet there seems to be 1000x more soul and innocent fun in this song than anything you hear on the radio today.
I wonder if the audience would react in another way if they knew their probable distant relationship with controversial french royal family Capet through Anne de Kiev? Probably not, the Berggrens charm is almost extra-terrestrial...
Linn could not pull off the last chorus😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Never the less mesmerizing as always😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
All that she wants live from top of the pops also has live vocals. Late 80s to mid 90s there was a concerted effort by TOTP to get as manyartists as possible to perform live or at least live vocals
Ahh.. the days in where AutoTune didnt exist! ;)
Ikr when songs were good
Umm..autotune existed since a few years after Cher came to the scene,this band was around in the early 90s, there was deff autotune lol
If someone has had a huge crush for Jenny, here I am.. :)
Какие они тут молодые, стройные и красивые.❤
Entonces no existía el autotune y teníamos que aprender a cantar .jpg
Nice! Took me a while to find a real live version, and its awesome! Wish they never lip synched!
The bridge was a little bit off key. But, anyway its a good performance.
Espectacular
Come back Linn!!!!☆☆
The blonde girl didn't hit the high notes in the last round.
+jurr47 I think Linn's voice was just tired at that point, and she didn't want to risk hitting a sour note. She sang the rest of the song almost perfectly, though--a fantastic performance overall. Most singers don't sound nearly this good live (when it's really live).
Did she ever hit that note live? I'd like to hear her.
+jurr47 Me too, but I don't know. She did sing that loud high part in concerts, but I suspect they cheated a bit with playback (lip-sync)--just that part, mind you, with the rest actually live. Others have claimed that she did sing it live at times, albeit imperfectly, and I think that she wanted to sound closer to perfect in this promotional video, which she does. I think that while Linn is clearly the real deal as a singer (as is her sister Jenny next to her), and I for one am a huge fan, she has by her own admission a "small" voice. She sings beautifully, even live, when fully rested, but she doesn't have one of those "big" voices that can belt out challenging tunes concert after concert. This performance came on the heels of a big tour, as I recall, and she hadn't fully recovered yet. Unfortunately so many of their TV performances were playback (at the request of the TV producers, actually), so I have yet to find a video of her actually singing the loud high notes of this song live. I know that she can sing high very well, so I assume that she can do this part when she feels up to it, although I haven't seen it myself.
I have been looking for some live version of this song in which Linn rises the tone, which for me is the high point of the song and not find it. Sad that they failed to repeat studio performance. :(
+Peter Panda Well, in the studio it is very quiet, so Linn can sing quietly, allowing her to do everything she is capable of. Many singers don't sound good until they sing fairly loudly (it's just how their voices are), but Linn actually sounds best when she is singing quietly. Some people are prone to believe that she can't sing at all if she can't hit certain notes in a loud live environment, but all singers are different. Truth be told, Linn's singing is still excellent when she is forced to get louder, although singing high notes hard like that is something she apparently won't do live. She has always been protective of her voice (damaging a voice like hers would be utterly tragic!), which is one probable reason, and another is probably that she thinks she doesn't sound good when doing that so loudly, and she always wants to sound good.
Linn is definitely not the kind of singer who would go on a talent show, for example, and hit the highest, loudest, longest note she could in order to impress the judges and audience. To me that's more like stunt-singing than anything that sounds nice. It's like comparing a Disneyland roller coaster to one at a regular amusement park--Disney don't even try to be the tallest or fastest at all because that's not what they're about, which is art and design instead. Similarly, Linn's strengths are the unique artistry of her singing and the beauty of her voice, not the sheer power and volume of her vocal cords. Sure, it would be nice if she had a bigger, stronger voice that could do absolutely everything live that it does in the studio, but in life we take what we can get, and personally I'd take Linn over any other singer. I can live with her skipping a few--only a very few, actually, like one or two total--parts of the songs. Lots of other pop singers do this anyway, especially when they're on long tours--even ones who are known for being able to sing high and loud.
By the way, some have touted how the replacement singers of the fake "Ace.of.Base" always sang that part of "The Sign" high, but I've heard them, and they sang it with NO force at all and sounded terrible with raspy voices, so who cares? I've also heard Jenny sing it, and sometimes she tries to sing it as intended, but it still doesn't sound nearly as forceful as intended. I guess it really is a product of the studio--not any kind of processing, but rather Linn being able to make it sound so strong and forceful while actually singing it quietly (not that easy to do, either). Fortunately they didn't do this much, so Linn could sing practically everything else live and still sound very much like the recordings.
Why do I bother when you are not the one for ME
Buenas voces. cantando en vivo
wailing on keyboards that arent even turned on
2:24
Oh Ace of base.....why the ankh symbol 😫
What the hell does she say at the beginning?!!
+PinkNarcissus i ask the same question too
+PinkNarcissus I've searched around, and apparently it's still a mystery after all of these years. After carefully listening to the few live recordings I could find, over and over in alternating fashion, to the best of my ability I believe that Jenny says "I'm born a fool, yeah!" Additionally, this seems to fit with the message of finally seeing "the sign" that opened up her eyes and mind so that she won't be so foolish anymore.
I think it's just nonsense noise
Hoppáhoppáojjeojje😂
Some say “We’re parting oh yeah” other says “we got the power oh yeah” but that’s something to ask Jenny
High quality old-time pop song!
I LUV ACE OF BASE !!!!!!
Jenny ❤
Ooohh how sweet was that!
Jenny is So lovable ❤️
wow theyre actually singing in this one
❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏
weird how both girls have very similar voices
You're right. In many Ace of base songs, Linn and Jenny's vocals are hard to distinguish from eachother. But in The Sign they sound very similar. Both girls have great voices. :)
It's not that weird, they are sisters haha
@@magoria1382 i did not know that
@@luckyskin09 ooh I see haha 😄
because they are siblings.. lol
2:10

Pitty that Linn left the band.....

It says "Isn't that enough?"
Brunette is superb
Nice, no playback.
