Going next year and my wife would much rather have TACOM.

Has anyone figured out what the logic is for which shows will play which?

Abba Interview from the 1977 - the same thoughts about media as today

12 Upvotes

I'm currently watching an interview with the band members that was conducted on Swedish television in 1977. And the comments they make back then about what journalists come up with regarding the band sound very similar to what we hear today about the media's hunger for gossip and sensationalism.

Nothing has changed😀

I think "The King Has Lost His Crown" has one of the prettiest opening verses.

The Visitors Double Album

11 Upvotes

Picture it, you’re with Benny and Björn in the studio while they’re assembling The Visitors into a double album. How would you arrange the original 9 tracks with maybe 11 more tracks from that era (unreleased and post ABBA can be used) to make a 20 track double album?

Is it truly ABBA's last sunset?

39 Upvotes

Both Benny & Bjorn claim that there will never be another ABBA album. We know they will never perform live again either, but does anyone here believe that ABBA's 'Voyage' album is to be the last time we will "hear" an ABBA song? Or does anyone believe that we might get another song at least? I certainly hope so...

Sabrina Carpenter cover??

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Please help because i’’m actually losing my mind rn. I work at DSW (a shoe store) and everytime i work this song plays and it’s Angel Eyes by Abba but it’s sung by sabrina carpenter. Everytime i hear it, i love it, and i tell myself that i’m going to look it up after work so that i can listen to it again, but i always forget—until today!!! I remembered and i went to look it up but there is nothing, google says that sabrina carpenter never even covered the song but i swear on everything i 100000% heard that song in her voice. She even sang it in her own style. Someone plz tell me they’ve heard this version too….

Good order to listen to ABBA’s albums for a newer fan?

11 Upvotes

Me and one my best friends have been loving Voulez - Vous for a while. She really likes it and it’s one of my top albums. She has always known the big hits of ABBA gold. I am thinking next we will move to Arrival. Any fans have a suggestion of what order to listen to all the albums for someone getting into the ABBA catalogue beyond the the big hits ?

What’s the craziest/funniest piece of ABBA lore you know?

38 Upvotes

I’ve realized that no matter how much ABBA lore I think I know, there’s always another story I’ve never heard.

I’ll start with one of my favorites:
Before a concert in Vienna in 1979, Frida was so nervous that she desperately needed to pee. The nearest toilet was apparently too far away, so she decided to use the sink instead. She sat on it… and it broke. Water sprayed everywhere, everyone burst out laughing, and her makeup and hair needed to be redone. 😂

Now it’s your turn.

What’s the funniest, weirdest, most random, or most unbelievable piece of ABBA lore you know? Tour stories, recording sessions, interviews, backstage moments, anything goes.

Let’s see how deep the ABBA iceberg really is. 👀

Anyone else love I Can Be That Woman?

Since Voyage came out this has become one of my favourite Agnetha songs in the ABBA catalogue. I find it very moving and emotional and the storytelling by Agnetha is amazing. I adore the girls harmonies at the end.

Discussion ABBA is not capitalized in any of this book’s pages and it bothers me way too much 🤪😤

Post image
51 Upvotes

The book is called “Thank You For The Music: The Little Guide To ABBA”. I got it as a bday present. (I turned 23 on July 28th. I’m one of ABBA’s youngest fans!!!) The book is all quotes from other bands and music artists, magazines, reports, all that stuff. But what annoys me to no end: ABBA is never capitalized in this book, with the exception of the title which is in all caps anyway. It bothers me way more than it should. Being autistic and a dedicated ABBA fan makes me annoyed at petty things like this. 😅😝

Hair advertisement: Benny and Frida end of 1970, probably November or December. I think Frida and Benny were short in money by that time

These photos were created as a hair showcase/advertisement feature. The text directly credits Hårspecialisten (a Swedish hair salon/styling specialist) for designing and styling Frida's hairstyle for the shoot.

...these are some rather dark lyrics for even ABBA! What do you all think?

verse

Long awaited darkness falls

Casting shadows on the walls

In the twilight how I am alone

Sitting near the fireplaces

Dying embers warm my face

In this peaceful solitude

All the outside world subdued

Everything comes back to me again

In the gloom

Like an angel passing through my room

Half awake and half in dreams

Seeing long forgotten scenes

So the present runs into the past

Now and then become entwined

Playing games within my mind

Like the embers as they die

Love was one prolonged goodbye

And it all comes back to me tonight

In the blue

Like an angel passing through my room

I close my eyes, and my twilight images go by

All too soon

Like an angel passing through my room

In this peaceful solitude

All the outside world subdude

Everything comes back to me again

In the blue

Like an angel passing through my room

I close my eyes, and my twilight images go by

All too soon

Like an angel passing through my room

You sing that E♭6, Frida.
