<… Read Full Bio ↴Swedish pop group Ace of Base was formed in Göteborg, Sweden in 1990.
The band's original lineup consisted of Ulf Ekberg (Buddha), and siblings Jonas Berggren (Joker), Linn Berggren and Jenny Berggren; the two Berggren sisters left in 2007 and 2009 respectively, and were replaced with Clara Hagman and Julia Williamson.
Ace Of Base broke through internationally in 1993 with the hit 'All That She Wants' and one year later with 'The Sign' worldwide. Their album 'Happy Nation' (released as 'The Sign' in the USA) went on to sell over 20 million copies.
Their second album, "The Bridge" released in 1995, was well received with the hit single 'Beautiful Life' breaking away from their reggae-pop sound into a more pop-dance sound. It seemed clear that with music tastes rapidly changing, the hype about the band died down, much to the relief of blonde singer Linn who decided to hand over power to her sister Jenny for their third album. "Flowers", also known as "Cruel Summer" in America. It was released in 1998 and was not as popular as their first two albums.
Their fourth album, "Da Capo", was released in 2002. Whilst well received by fans, Da Capo received little publicity from the new record company Universal after Mega Records ceased to exist in 2001.
In October and November 2005, the band performed several concerts at the "Night of the Proms" show in Belgium, their first orchestated work. Jenny, Jonas, and Ulf performed four of their biggest hits to the audience: The Sign, All That She Wants, Beautiful Life & Life Is A Flower.
In 2007 Ulf Ekberg confirmed in an interview that Malin Berggren has officially left the band and that she would not be involved with any future projects. The group had already been performing mostly without Linn as a trio for a decade before her departure.
Since 2007 the band is on tour, performing in Europe and Asia. A global world tour is planned for 2009.
On November 2008 Ace of Base issued a new Greatest Hits compilation. The 3-disc set includes one CD with the hits, a second CD containing remixes, and the third disc, a DVD containing all the music videos. Three new remixes, "The Sign 2009", "Wheel of Fortune 2009" and "Don't Turn Around 2009" are included. "Wheel of Fortune 2009" were released worldwide on 24 October 2009 as the lead single of the Greatest Hits album.
In 2009, Ulf Ekberg and Jonas Berggren were joined by two new vocalists, Clara Hagman and Julia Williamson. The band released their fifth album, The Golden Ratio, in September 2010. It entered the German album charts at #20 (with All For You and The Golden Ratio both entering the Top 40) and at # 100 in Switzerland. The band plan to release "The Golden Ratio" in the UK in 2011.

Dancer in a Daydream
Ace of Base Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you got is basic emotions
Can you feel them
I want to be your lover
But you're so shy
What you need is perfect assistance
Let me guide you
To a land you're never seen before
I guess you see
I have another daydream
I guess you see
That I have another daydream
Come and be a dancer
Dance into my daydream
Join me in my daydream wet and wild
Come and be a dancer
Dance into my daydream
Join me in my jungle wet and wild
To help another person
Will make you feel important
You got my invitation
But you're so shy
Come and let your wild side show
And be a dancer
A dancer in a daydream we can share
I guess you see
Help me take control
Of my full imagination
I'm looking for a man
Who will watch my situation
I'm thinking about the people
Waiting down the line
I am the limelight now's my time
I guess you see
What you gonna do I'm a bold explosion

What an odd situation
This is a peculiar circumstance
What you got is basic emotions
You are experiencing simple feelings
Can you feel them
Are you able to perceive them?
I want to be your lover
I desire to be your partner
But you're so shy
However, you are very timid
What you need is perfect assistance
You require impeccable guidance
Let me guide you
Allow me to show you the way
To a land you're never seen before
To a place you have not previously experienced
I guess you see
I suppose you understand
I have another daydream
I have a different envisionment
Come and be a dancer
Join me as a performer
Dance into my daydream
Move to the rhythm of my fantasy
Join me in my daydream wet and wild
Participate in my daydream of excitement and passion
Join me in my jungle wet and wild
Accompany me to my untamed and adventurous land
To help another person
Assisting another individual

Will give you a sense of significance
You got my invitation
I have extended an invitation to you
But you're so shy
However, you are very timid
Come and let your wild side show
Release your uninhibited nature
And be a dancer
And perform with me
A dancer in a daydream we can share
We can share a fantasy of being performers together
Help me take control
Aid me in managing
Of my full imagination
Of my entire creativity
I'm looking for a man
I'm searching for a male partner
Who will watch my situation
Who will observe my circumstances
I'm thinking about the people
I'm contemplating the individuals
Waiting down the line
Waiting for their opportunity
I am the limelight now's my time
I am the center of attention, it's my moment
What you gonna do I'm a bold explosion
What will you do? I am a powerful burst of energy
I guess you see
I suppose you understand
That I have another daydream
That I have a different envisionment
