Edited one year agoAs someone else has pointed out, this is certainly not ABBA's usual stereotypical 70s pop. While it never came to fruition, the album this was recorded for, if it were to sound like this, might have been ABBA's greatest. The track is haunting with every note, the story it tells is normal but yet it's left incomplete, never telling what happens past the day in question that would cause the singer to treat it as such a halcyon time. It's not Dancing Queen, it's not Mamma Mia, it's much darker than that. A track like this from such an overplayed group is hard to come by, and while I've always been an ABBA fan, this track always stands out. The singer as the track comes to a close, working in harmony with the synthesisers, it gives me shivers every time. My favourite ABBA song by a long shot.
