瑞典流行團體〔王牌〕──１９９４年美國年終冠軍──歐洲雷鬼流行舞曲經典──〔The Sign／徵兆〕

I got a new life
you would hardly recognize me
I'm so glad
how can a person like me care for you
why do I bother
when you're not the one for me
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
or so many years I've wondered
who you are
how can a person like you bring me joy
under the pale moon
where I see a lot of stars
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
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 and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign

Single

１９９３年秋天　剛以流行雷鬼舞曲〔All That She Wants〕橫掃歐洲的瑞典二男二女團體王牌（Ace Of Base）進軍美國

Arista唱片要他們為首張專輯〔Happy Nation〕再錄製幾首歌曲

９月先在歐洲重新發行　登上英國冠軍

１１月以〔The Sign〕為名　在美國推出（日本　加拿大　拉丁美洲也發行此版）

同名單曲是王牌在美國第二主打

〔The Sign／徵兆〕是首融合了Dub-Reggae的歐洲流行舞曲
旋律琅琅上口的輕快討好

此曲在１９９４年初登上美國流行榜６週冠軍外　銷售超過百萬

並成為當年告示榜年終單曲冠軍　堪稱當年最紅的歌曲

（成人抒情榜則是亞軍　舞曲銷售＃１３）

〔The Sign〕也是１９９４年全球最紅的歌曲之一
拿下英國亞軍　德國＆澳洲＆西班牙＆加拿大＆奧地利＆紐西蘭冠軍　瑞典＆愛爾蘭亞軍　荷蘭＃３　義大利＆瑞士＃４　法國＆挪威＃５

連續兩首單曲的受到歡迎　讓〔Happy Nation／The Sign〕專輯登上美國榜冠軍　大賣９００萬張

全球２３００萬張

１９９４年的美國Billboard年終獎項　除前面提過的年終單曲外

王牌得到年度藝人　年度專輯　年度單曲藝人　年度專輯藝人  年終電台播放冠軍等殊榮

聲勢壓過當年超強對手瑪麗亞凱莉（Mariah Carey）

在王牌的歌曲中　個人最喜歡的就是這首〔The Sign〕
