"My Favourite Game" is an alternative rock song written by Peter Svensson and Nina Persson for The Cardigans' 1998 album ''Gran Turismo''. The song is the album's eighth track, and was released as its first single. ==Songwriting, recording and production== "My Favourite Game" was written by guitarist Peter Svensson and lead singer Nina Persson during the recording sessions of the band's fourth studio album ''Gran Turismo'' between May and July 1998. The song, like the other songs from the album, was recorded in Tore Johansson's newly developed Country Hell recording studio in Skurup, Sweden. Persson started with the chorus, which "married the music so quickly that you couldn't tear them apart". Afterwards she wrote verses to "give the chorus meaning", which enabled her to "cram in a lot of lyrics into the verses" in contrast to other Cardigans songs with less lyrics such as "Erase/Rewind". Before recording on the song commenced, Svennson presented the song to producer Tore Johansson by playing the track on acoustic guitar. Although the song was originally taking shape as a slow country/rock shuffle,〔Liner album notes from Best Of The Cardigans.

It was soon after changing the musical direction of the song when the song's distinctive guitar hook evolved.〔 Both the drum and guitar parts were recorded in a "'70s-style dry room"〔 while the vocals were recorded in the attic of the studio.〔 Even though the drums were recorded using analogue tape compression, the rest of the song's production, including the "fat fuzzy bass line" and the coda, was completed using Pro Tools 24.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Favourite Game」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
