<… 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.

Love In December
Ace of Base Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that our time has run out
You're my everlasting groove
Forget the past for the time to come
In all our thoughts and will meet again
Never leave me out here in the cold I say
For my never ending dream
I will always remember
A summer with passion
A fatal attraction
Colours are fading
Like the leaves in November
What's left of the magic
We had a million of days
I know that our time has run out
You're my everlasting groove
Forget the past for the time to come
In all our thoughts and we will meet again
Never leave me out here in the cold I say
For my never ending dream
Love in December
I will always remember
A summer with passion
A fatal attraction
Colours are fading
Like the leaves in November
What's left of the magic
We felt in the springtime
Cause there's a place in the world
I know where I rather would be
In the fairy tales of love
Where everything has a happy end
A world my friend
In fantasia-land
We will be together all the time my dear
In the fairytales of love
Love in December
I will always remember
A summer with passion
Fatal attraction
Colours are fading
Like the leaves in November
What's left of the magic
We felt in the springtime
For a moment a touch you feel
Like a vision of an angel
As our love, undecided disappears forever
Always longing to have you NEAR
Fell the power and the passion
Feel me slipping from your hands
Please break my fall
Love in December
I will always remember
A summer with passion
A fatal attraction
Colours are fading
Like the leaves in November
What's left of the magic
We felt in the springtime
The lyrics to Ace of Base's "Love in December" are full of nostalgia as the singer reminisces about a past relationship. The first verse speaks of a past love that was strong enough to last a million days, but time has now run out. The next line echoes the same sentiment; that the love they shared was deep and everlasting like a groove. The singer implores their lover not to leave them out in the cold since they still hold onto the dream of a never-ending love.
The chorus brings up memories of a past summer of passion and a fatal attraction that faded away with time. The metaphor of colors fading like the leaves in November signifies how the relationship lost its vibrancy and was replaced with a sense of longing for the magic they once shared. The second verse has similar themes as the first, but it also delves into the idea of a perfect world where couples live "happily ever after." And in the last verse, the singer talks about how they feel angelic when they're together, and they don't want their love to slip away from their grasp.
Overall, the lyrics are a beautifully written tribute to a former relationship, expressing both the bitterness of love lost and the sweetness of memories cherished.
Line by Line Meaning
We had a million of days
We have spent a long time together
I know that our time has run out
I acknowledge that our time together has ended
You're my everlasting groove
You are the rhythm and beat of my life that goes on
Forget the past for the time to come
Let's not dwell on our past, but focus on our future
In all our thoughts and will meet again
You will always be in my thoughts, and I hope to see you again
Never leave me out here in the cold I say
Please don't abandon me and leave me feeling alone and isolated
For my never ending dream
For my hopes and aspirations that continue on
Love in December
Love that was present in winter
I will always remember
I will never forget
A summer with passion
A passionate summer we once shared
A fatal attraction
An attraction that ended tragically
Colours are fading
Colors are becoming dull and lifeless
Like the leaves in November
Similar to how the leaves fall off the trees in November
What's left of the magic
What traces remain of the love that used to exist
We felt in the springtime
We experienced love in the spring
Cause there's a place in the world
Because there exists a place
I know where I rather would be
I know where I would rather be
In the fairy tales of love
In the made-up stories of love
Where everything has a happy end
Where every story has a happy conclusion
A world my friend
A world that I can share with a friend
In fantasia-land
In an imaginary place
We will be together all the time my dear
We will always be together, my love
For a moment a touch you feel
You may feel a brief touch
Like a vision of an angel
Like a sight of something heavenly
As our love, undecided disappears forever
Our relationship, which was uncertain, vanishes for good
Always longing to have you NEAR
Always wishing to be near you
Fell the power and the passion
Experience the potency and the strength of our love
Feel me slipping from your hands
Feel me beginning to slip away from you
Please break my fall
Please don't let me fall any farther
