🎤 Lyrics
We live in a free world
I whistle down the wind
Carry on smiling
And the world will smile with you
Life is a flower
So precious in your hand
Carry on smiling
And the world will smile with you
When every race is run
And the day is closing in
I don't care about the world
I'm living for the light
Don't cry for me today, ah-ah ah...
We live in a free world
I whistle down the wind...
I can not be your judge
Mr. Jailer is your host
He's keeping you inside
And hides you from the world
No catcher in the rye
Can help you from yourself
We live in a free world
I whistle down the wind...
Please Mr. Agony
Release them for a while
Learn them the consequences of
Living without life
We live in a free world...
We live in a free world...

Miss the 90s so much
Me too T_T
Me too. Nothing was that complicated as today.
Ding Dong it was a decade where everything was cool nice great tv and music and perfect times now its depressing cold and moody as shit
90's was really great
I don’t. Imagine a decade that played out as one long wet Monday morning.

A calm, lovely song, taking me to the good times, to my childhood...
wow i must not have heard this in 15 years. crazy when you go that long without hearing a song and then hear it again, it's like a hidden memory becomes unlocked.
I've just had the same experience :)
Wits' End I had the same experience with Don't mess with my toot toot from 1985
Same to me :D
Wits' End This was very touching and inspiring. Thank You 😉
Yep nothing like nostalgia, a powerful drug imho.
This song was played at my Nanna's funeral back in 1998. The lyrics suited her to the ground. An angel that was living through torture for the last years of her life yet had nothing but care for everyone else. Beautiful woman. Never forgotten.
"Carry on smiling and the world will smile with you..." Probably the best lyric in the song.
Beautiful song for her :) I know of another person who passed away and AOB did an acoustic version of this song especially for him as he was a fan.
Nice words, sorry for your loss
Just commenting to remind you of this gem
Never forgotten,..
Worldwide, A Ugandan 🇺🇬 knows how cool your Grandma was 😉😊 May she continue to rest in peace 💃 I know she's reading this because, What's heaven without UA-cam? 🙂
Took me 25 years to find this song!!!!!! Can’t believe it!! All my childhood memories back to my brain
Haha it must feel great to have found it!
This song kept me going in 2013 when my dad passed away. It kept me smiling knowing i am not alone but just life is a flower
The same happened to me that year too.. Keep smiling tho 😊
@martynsmith6048 I lost my dad on December 20 2020 unexpectedly. He always talked about a future world where we will be smiling, living forever and even if we die, we will come back. The important thing was to be alive in God's memory.
Condolences Brother 💔

We SHOULD be living in a free world, but those disgusting elite wanna take it from us!
Spanish flu?
Roman Empire?
World war 1+2?
The world was never as free as it is today. But it's nornal that people never see the full picture...
I'm 18 years old Japanese. These days we had a fire works festival. Then this song was being played. I actually listened to this song for the first time in that festival. I had imagination that this world is full of love and peace then. I am sincerely hoping to realize that in real.
lets work together for a better world
That glorious late 90's aesthetic.
Truly an amazing time to be alive

Eccomi 👍
One of their most underrated songs. Had no idea it was theirs until well after it became one of my favorite tunes. Ah, life before the internet.
you can never feel sad whilst listening to 90's music
its suprising i never hear this song on the radio
“all that she wants” and “i saw the sign” still get played on a daily bases in the Netherlands
while this is clearly the better song
It really isn't. It's rather forgettable. I bet if you asked 10 people if they remember this song, nobody would. I don't remember this song despite it being one of their biggest hits in terms of chart position in the UK (number 5 apparently)
UA-cam is like a time machine.... Take me back to a time the world was kind and loving
The world was perfect in the 80s and 90s 😢
Hearing now from Italy, trying to forget for a moment the bad situation here is.
When this song came out I was only twenty......I miss the 90s

Just commenting to remind you of this gem
I had such a huge crush on Jenny, absolutely beautiful lady ❤️ brings back so many happy memories 🙂
It's a pity that time flies so fast in my opinion the 90's were the best
Its 2023 ,I'm 31 and still jamming ❤❤❤
Thank you for wonderful childhood memories
And so u should be still jamming at 31! I thought I was old at 30 and what I would do now to be 30 is anyone’s business !
Likewise, I’m 40. I remember the singles from the Sign record ubiquitous on the AM school bus. It’s a very evocative nostalgia trip.
My favourite ace of base song. Fantastic masterpiece.
Just lost my job today but I'll carry on smiling :)
and a world smiley at you
Smiles at her evily cause she lost job 😆
Yeah I just lost my job too
Wish u will find another one, better

Good old days, brings back good memories ❤
Love Ace of Base Music ❤ love Poland Viva sweden ❤
We do not need kisses, nudity, sexual innuendos, or revealing clothing in order to be famous and to deliver our word to the world. We only need to be respectful, humble, and intelligent. I am a fan of the Swedish band, and I will never forget the song. All that she wants..big greeting from North Africa
They’re quite literally a family. You can see this here; the closeness radiates. There is no artifice about it. Joyful music sounding like it was joyfully made. This is as good as pop music gets.
The world was alright 20 years ago, now we live under a diabolic moment
Truth 🙌
This was constantly played when my Daughter was born. Life really is a flower xxx That was in August 1998. She will turn 21 this year xxx I still call her my flower xxx 🌸🏵🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷
How interesting.
STOP lying life is not a flower life is crap.
@@gilgraham6754 Lol bogus
As 17 year old I really do love this song compared to what's being played today
I was 16 when this came out.
This music drips with teenage optimism and the innocent outlook youngsters have of the world. Oh to return to those days.
Peace and love to everyone ❤
Zawsze mnie to pozytywnie nastraja ❤
This awesome band made my hard childhood to be a lil bit better.Thank you so much.I will listen their beautiful music till i die. Forever Ace of Base ❤
God bless you!!! 🙏🙏🙏🎉🎉🎉💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹
The world needs this song now more than ever...
The 90s..take me back
It's sad, but this song will always remain a relic from the times when we did live in somewhat of a Free World. Now, no longer. Listening to this though will always remember how nice things were during those times, even when this song came out. It's another one of their excellent singles, and worth it to also own it on the 7" records with the Extended version of this.
Yeah cause what shit even happened from 1998-2005
We never lived in a "free world" :) The only matter is that by growing up we realize what " freedom " really means :) great song like actually almost all tracks by ACE of Base! :) take care!
@@funkykriz21 Yeah but we at least had more breathers of freedom in times past!
It always has been the same.
@@budda777pl Yeah but now compared to the 90's!? The 90's were SO fun and amazing.
Carry on smiling, and the world will smile with you...
So nice lyrics
Francesca Ledda as long as you believe it!
Francesca Ledda But fart and you’re on your own.
I think it's sarcastic. Is like we can not pretend or smile? Probably all we can never smile and have a straight face and you can live a normal and natural life in a natural World not all society places but in some regions and in others you might not be able to work, travel and be accepted etc
Not my favorite song.
@@somyan8540 This is satire, guys...
One of the best songs of the late 1990s.
"Life is a flower" is probably the best song of Ace of Base.
Really nice, really true.
Really?
Mudskipper Nickson I think ‘Young & Proud’, ‘Close To You’, ‘Dr. Sun’, ‘Hold You’, ‘Vision In Blue’, ‘‘Love In the Barrio’/Ghetto’, ‘No Good Lover’, ‘Givin’ It Up’, ‘Bloomin 18’, ‘Hey Darling’ & ‘Love For Sale’ are my favorites
Life Is a Flower and Never Gonna Say I'm Sorry, my 2 favourites.
Beautiful life, Never gonna say I'm sorry, Cruel summer remix, sign, and Life is a flower. Those are my favorites. Beautiful life is the best in my opinion as I have strong memories connected with that song and the song itself is really good. Both beautiful life and life is a flower are really good songs....
The best song Ace of Base.
👍👍👍👍 Ich stimme Ihnen zu !!!
For me this is their best song. So calming and yet dancing. Very beautiful chorus
This band stole with this Life is a flower song the chorus from The Corrs' song "The Right time" and A-ha's "take one me" there are similarities with aob' song "don't stop" Also the song "no good lover"chorus sounds like Opus's track "life is life"and also" love in december bridge "sounds like the bridge from e-type "here i go".Donnie sound like abba "don't turn around" is a cover "cruel summer" is a cover "wonderful life" is a cover "show me love" is a cover.uspeakeable and change with the light sound like britney bsb and nsync. I turns out they're not so original as i thought.Shame on you ace of base!!!
I agree. I cry tears of joy when i listen to this song
Unspeakable is their Best song, in my opinion!!!
Totally agree with you.
🙏⚘💙💚⚘🙏
@@gilgraham6754 All music was written by 1975, according to a friend of mine. Riffs get re-hashed and repeated. That's the nature of music. "Stole" is a bit strong, and I don't see the similarities you've found, though I do see similarities between Irish and Swedish folk-pop, which are interesting (Corrs, Cranberries, B*Witched, ABBA, First Aid Kit, Ace of Base, even Roxette, all have a similar sound, yet some are Irish and some are Swedish).
It is an ideal pop-band.
Carry-on smiling and the world will smile with you.
😊 😊 😊
2019 I'm singing this to my 2 month old 😊
Carry on smiling
kamau wanjiku same!
There's nothing free about this world today..I miss the 90s ..
Life is a flower, but seams we don't live in a free world no more, I wish the world would smile as before, they are great!!
This song lightens me up. I need that right now.
Great song with an Abba meets Roxette meets Britney Spears vibe to it!
This Song Makes Feel So Good! can't express 90s are Iconic with these Gems
philippines summer of 1998... sooo good music that time..and this was just one of them..
To say that "whenever you're near me" sounds better than this is a crime!
Un gran grupo. Sin ningún tipo de duda, de lo mejor de la dècada de los 90. Una canción que anima muchísimo cuando la escuchas
Its the 31st July 2017...
The world is still turning.
Life goes on... There has always been problems throughout history. Despite what you think... We still are in the best time to be alive. So keep remembering life is sacred, and cherish every given moment.
You've spoke nothing but the pure truth 🤔
Красивая песня,100%,люблю цветы,особенно розы,мои любимые.
Damn, how I miss these people. Glad though that Jenny is still up and running! ♥
WOW super Mega fantastic music ❤
The 90s were awesome

Mi banda favorita de mis hermosos años 90💖💖💖
Me gusta tanto castellano

Was good song in 90's love it
Takes me back to Now 41!
One of the most positive and uplifting tracks of the 90s!
I think that's why I have such a positive outlook on life and always have done throughout my childhood because I've had a love for music - and introduced to songs like this :)
Where are u Ace if Base ? You're still young... let's your fans see u again 😧❤️❤️❤️
This song is so beautiful, it will never be out of date!
still have the cassingle I bought in 98 ,my favorite of theirs because life really is like a flower,so precious in your hand
2020 and the memories are coming after hearing the song :)
It's an Happy Nation...
Regend Ace of Base 😔 Still listening to this big tune in 2019......... Rwanda love ❤🎨🇷🇼
This song makes me feels happy 😊
The world was more normal in the 90s...
All these years I had no idea Ace of Base sang this song.
Still as beautiful as ever - Tre Kronor,,♥️ And to everyone who listens in 2023 may good fortune find you!
This is a positive feel good song
This is what good, high-class pop music is supposed to sound like.
You can play this to anyone, from any generation, and they will instantly love it.
This is a tune 🙌 brings me back to my childhood absolutely amazing 👌🎶💗
We live in a free world. I love this song whats buried in dark comes to light with this song xx
Music was music in this era!
I can't imagine such a happy, optimistic, naive song being a hit nowadays
Masterpiece.
I've been looking for this song since I was a little kid. Now, after like 16 years in the chase I eventually arrived in this vid.
I know people won't give a fuck about what I said but I needed to express it.
Be optimistic.
+kimppatb top tune....loved it then an still do :)
me toooo. 😃
me toooo. 😃
+kimppatb I was looking for this song too for years, I never knew the name of it or the people who sang it, I just remember hearing it as a kid and wanting to hear it again... just like you probably 16 years later. haha
back in the days i didn't like this song much - i preferred their previous stuff.Only now started to appreciate this THING !
Mi mancano troppo gli anni 90
WE LIVE IN A FREE WORLD.....
Carry on smiling 😊✌🏻
How can someone dislike this song? :/
LF ジェシカ unhappy people
***** Lol
+IndianRailways I have recently travelled on Indian railways, and whilst it was on the whole good, there are some improvements to be made. Don't you think you should be working on improving the service rather than on UA-cam watching Ace of Base videos?
maybe muslims
Because they don't like the 90s
Was everything much, much better back then (90s-00s), or was it simply because we were much younger and carefree?
I want those years back so bad 🥺
I feel sooooo old! And only 38...but these were good times
awesome songs from the amazing 90s....miss my childhood days... great bands great music great life back in those days
And simplicity bc no smartphones lol 😂
The US Edition of "Flowers" ("Cruel Summer") really got me through some crapy times in the 90s! When I went to that dark place, their album brought me to a happy place.
dont get powerful tunes like this nowdays
Love Ace of Base its Beautiful Music Love it 2023.
This tune popped up in my head this morning..I didn't even know what song it was but I thought it could be Ace of Base... and yes I found it! 🤩 Now I'm gonna play it all day long... singing and dancing 💃
the two female singers of Ace Of Base are the sweetest female singers i've ever seen (y)
+dendi supriyadi Someone had to say it plainly, and you are so right!
+rbrtck : you are fan of them right? i believe you know about Linn, where is she now and is there any news about her? we know that she was out from the band,but what is the main reason she left the band still a mystery anyway
+dendi supriyadi Yes, I'm a fan of Ace of Base, and Linn and Jenny in particular. I don't know them personally, and know practically nothing firsthand, but I have acquired quite a bit of information over time, and have figured many things out by fitting the pieces together like a puzzle. I know where Linn lives, but I will never divulge that information in order to protect her privacy and safety, and I will never use it myself--in learning about her in particular, I've grown to respect and care about her as a person, despite not knowing her personally, and I only want her to be safe and happy. Gothenburg, on Sweden's west coast, is the closest large city, and that is precise enough. According to her brother Jonas, who sees her quite frequently, Linn is happier now than she has been in years, and is even once again talking with family and friends about music and the good times she had while working with Ace of Base, so I'm glad to report, according to this and other sources within Sweden, that Linn is doing fine and is in good health. She has a pretty nice life, in fact, and many nieces and nephews who are very fond of her. Linn's main problem is that she is still pretty much in hiding (living under an assumed name, which I'm not divulging, either), and is afraid of being recognized. She does get out, but not often, and rarely by herself (which is actually kind of OK because she has always been a homebody). Anyone who is reading this and happens to recognize Linn in public should refrain from letting it show and taking photos--please don't do that to her.
There were many reasons that Linn stepped out of the spotlight even while she was still a member of the band, and her "strange" behavior is not so strange once you know the reasons. Is this something you would like to know, or do you already know?
The biggest mystery is why Linn finally decided to officially leave the band, which we can only infer from other events close in time. She had many reasons to want to leave, which is no mystery to me at all, but what specifically prompted her to finally make this decision after staying in the background, wanting to leave, for about a decade? The band have only given the general reasons. And I have my own theories about this.
So what would you like to know? Some of this? All of this? What happened to Jenny, too? Or everything I know, including some details of Linn's childhood? (a lot for me to write and for you to read :) )
+rbrtck yeah,your reply was too long for us,hahaha.. but it doesn't matter if you like it.. actually,I just want to know the main reason why Linn leaved the band. because she has never spoken to public about this case,right? and her enclosed character,including her spouse. I start thinking that she doesn't want her life to be published because she has a very private person.
+dendi supriyadi Yes, Linn has never told why she actually decided to leave, and the other band members have been vague about it, but I believe that I have figured it out. The reason is in the third paragraph following this one, and boils down to being disrespected by Jonas and Ulf. The first paragraph is about her basic dislike of being famous. The second paragraph is about her very serious and dangerous problem with stalkers. I tried to keep them short, leaving out a lot of details, but I wanted them to be descriptive to give a real understanding of why someone as talented and beautiful as Linn would want to hide herself away.
You are correct that Linn is a very private person. She is modest and never wanted to be famous, and never wanted to be a pop singer. Her brother Jonas asked her to join his new band, and she said no, but her little sister Jenny wanted to do this with Linn, and convinced her to join. None of them ever believed that they would become so famous and wildly successful. Linn did not want to be the lead singer, but their producer loved her voice and had her mainly sing the massive hit singles that made them stars. After several years Linn grew sick and tired of performing, and decided to stop; she still wanted to sing, though, so she stayed in the band for that and also for the sake of Jenny and Jonas, and she kept recording songs.
However, perhaps the biggest factor of all was that many people obsessed over Linn (not Jenny, Jonas, or Ulf--only Linn), and at any time there could be stalkers coming after her. One climbed up the outside of a hotel in an attempt to get into Linn's room (he was spotted and arrested). And another time, Jenny was taken hostage in her parents' home at knife-point--the stalker (a woman) demanded that they call Linn and tell her to come over or else she would kill Jenny. The parents attacked and beat up the stalker, and no one was killed, but Jenny was traumatized and Linn felt extremely guilty and responsible for what happened. Over time, Linn hid herself from the spotlight more and more in order to reduce the public's interest in her--the less obsession there was, the less danger there would be from stalkers. She is still doing this today, now completely staying away from the public.
Despite all of these factors making Linn want to leave, she was still in the band in 2005. And in fact Jenny had even convinced her to perform live onstage again (Jenny wanted this so much, and Linn likes to make Jenny happy), despite the risks. But by this time the guys, Jonas and Ulf, were tired of Linn and Jenny's creative input, which they had always had. The guys believed that only they were necessary for the band's success, having written all of the hit songs, so they tried to control everything this time, convinced that they knew best how to be more successful like before. Being disrespected and feeling unwanted as a result, and not wanting to be in this business for herself anyway, Linn decided to leave the band. Stop reading here if that's all you want to know. Jenny stayed, so Jonas and Ulf kicked her out later, and hired two new singers who were willing to do everything they commanded. The new girls obediently stripped to their underwear and sang like sluts (check out the "All For You" video), like Jonas and Ulf wanted but Linn and Jenny would never do. The new band lineup failed within two years, losing money overall, and Jonas had to beg forgiveness from his sisters Linn and Jenny. They forgave him, but only as his sisters, and not as his former bandmates. He now gives most of the credit for their previous success to Linn instead of himself and Ulf, and wants her to sing his songs again so badly, but she and Jenny remember what he and Ulf did to them, especially Jenny, to whom they were needlessly cruel. The guys thought that the girls didn't matter, so they replaced them, but they were wrong, and now the girls don't want to work with the guys anymore--Ace of Base is, for the foreseeable future, finished, having been destroyed from within by Jonas and Ulf's arrogance and hubris (Linn and Jenny are no ordinary singers, you jerks--they were the voices and faces and the real heart and soul of the band).
Now, Linn could still choose to sing with Jenny onstage like Jenny wants her to, but Linn still feels that it would be dangerous for both of them, and she has been much happier living a private life. Jenny seems sad about that, but she understands and knows that it's Linn's turn to be happy now. As far as I know, Linn is still unmarried, but she is doing well.
Esse grupo passa uma energia tão boa
