would like to find out the artist of 'listen to your heart' (not sure if this is the title).

this is not the roxette song, it's upbeat with a disco feel, similar to rock the boat by forrest.

 

chorus goes: listen to your heart & you will see, listen to your heart....

 

have been looking for this song for ages.

just like heaven by the cure. lips like sugar by echo and the bunnymen and with or without you by u2.

[Pinatz24]

I like the cure for songs like boys don't cry, letter to elise, pictures of you, just like heaven, If only tonight I could sleep and friday i'm in love.

Depeche mode is also good and Tears for fears.
