My mum loved abba and when she passed I listened to abba a lot to remind me of her……..they were so far ahead of their time…..disco would not have happened unless of them and this track (my favourite) smacks completely of prog rock and New Romantic…..it’s just breathtaking…..now I just love listening to there music not just because of my mum but for the quality of the music
One of my absolute favorites from the first time I heard it. I am really taken by the music. I think of my daughter who I lost in 2018 when I hear this.
Can not be easy, being a young musician, sitting home with your keyboard and audio workstation on the computer, and then try to come up with something like this?
Well.. your´e not alone thinking that. This is the original album version. The short version was an antempt to match american radio station requirements..
Well, I don't know how but I'd never heard this one until yesterday when I put on ABBA Gold on a whim after hearing about their comeback. Fantastic. I've already jammed along to it on Chordify a few times as I play guitar. Love it. Say what you like about them, they are all supremely talented and the girls' singing has always been sensational.

You can tell the producing of the song here is superb done by someone with a great feeling for the art of producing music. Don't know how many times i've heard this song lately. I was hooked immediately after listening to it only one time. No one has the feeling to do this kind of production today ABBA was way ahead of their time. Pioneers indeed.
Yes Sweden was German oriented and before that France and now englishctalking ideas will wipe out Sweden -how about the Finnish immigrants hasn't they already taken over since they had a headstart .You are bs itting.
