<… 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.

Vision in Blue
Ace of Base Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But how can it be that I cannot see
I'm biding my time
While drinking my wine
Oh wha' oh
I'm gonna be free this weekend, so free.
I'm showing off my liberty
You making my day
I'm finding a way
But when the night time is all over I'm all alone
I'm advancing and I'm dancing with myself
[Chorus]
A vision in blue
Forever young
A token so true
My Koh Phangan
My Koh Phangan
My Koh Phangan
My Koh Phangan
I see you dancing in front of my face
Your body is moving to the trace of the chase
I'm flashing for you
A bright light in the night (for you)
I'm gonna be me, myself and I
Losing the rhythm that's my goodbye
I'm feeling the heat
Complete with the beat
I'm playing discreet
But when the night time is all over I'm all alone
I'm advancing and I'm dancing with myself
[Chorus]
A vision in blue
[Chorus]
A vision in blue
A vision in blue
The lyrics of Ace of Base's song "Vision In Blue" speak of the singer's search for the right partner. They seem to be in a room full of people, but no one stands out as the one for them. They express their confusion at the fact that the right person may be present but they cannot see them. The singer is biding their time and having a drink while hoping that they will find the one for them. They also express their desire to be free and enjoy the weekend, and they find themselves lost in the music while constantly searching for their perfect match.
The chorus speaks of a vision in blue, referring to their perfect match. The lyrics mention Koh Phangan, an island in Thailand known for its full moon parties. The singer sees their perfect match dancing in front of them, and they can't help but be drawn to them. The song expresses the desire to find true love and the hope of finding someone perfect, someone who is young and full of life like the island of Koh Phangan.
