No, you’ve got it backwards. The true alternative version is “Life Is A Flower”, because it came out years later after “Whenever Your Near Me” was released as an independent solo hit single.
@Nils i like whenever your near me dont get wrong but That Was Such a Stupid Move Of Clive Davis he could have just left it as the original song because now 20 years later people can stream the flowers album everywhere and can watch the videos
@@EightiesMusiqLover you are the one having everything wrong here sorry, "Whenever You're Near Me" is the second single from Swedish group Ace of Base's third American record, Cruel Summer. The original version of the song, "Life Is a Flower", was a huge hit in Europe and Japan. The lyrics were rewritten by song composer Mike Chapman, and the song was released to radio stations in North and South America on October 6, 1998. This version peaked at number 76 in the United States and number 51 in Canada; it was the band's last charting hit in both countries. source: wikipedia

Amazing ❤
Without Linn it was never so good, she was unique and had an amazing voice and charisma ....❤️❤️
So Sad There's No Linn...
Yay live performance!
jenny's vocal cords have improved since then. there is lot diffrence nowdays when she performed live.
Yes indeed and I was surprised to learn that she has kids.
I think this song has a much deeper, sader version and meaning compared to Life is a flower.
This version ran circles around it’s much later previously unreleased version “Life Is A Flower”, which sound awkwardly strange to me.
YAY!!!!
Yenny😍
I didn't know there is an "alternative" version of life is a flower...

Nope, 'Life is a Flower' was the original, but Clive Davis of Arista deemed it too European (whatever that means) and forced them to re-record it.

The Boring Version of Life is a flower would fit better
