Going to start sharing an ABBA song each day in the hope that it will bring some joy and fulfilment to someone scrolling past.

1) The Visitors - title track from an exceptionally mature and imaginative album. The song offers spine-tingling momentum. https://open.spotify.com/track/67ksoOt4k169munrwgTPjD?si=QH6VsmfCSY2rW5YrjkGCKg

2) Chiquitita - a masterclass in composition and production.

Favourite moments: Opening melody shared by three instruments. Haunting reverb on the word 'sorrow'. Sublime BV's in the verses. 5/4 bar in choruses. THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE ending. https://open.spotify.com/track/762B4bOcXF7I2Y8UlKTyTy?si=RjuBkTzpTYG_y_zyUR0quQ

3) When All Is Said And Done

Essentially three verses, this song offers one of their best melodies which gracefully ascends and descends throughout. The swell at 1:56 coupled with how the drums fade back in at 2:12 never fails to give me goosebumps https://open.spotify.com/track/6tlF4uh34QXqq81XrIyO0O?si=DlddvpsgRHOdGbU2NciF3A

4) Hole In Your Soul

Disco/Glam/Rock anthem. Butch BV's from B&B, stunning vocal work from A&F and to top it off, Agnetha smashes out a top B

Was intended to be released as a single but forever remained an album track. Never made a compilation album. https://open.spotify.com/track/3bqPiLwxU0sltObhhVky9X?si=lvnODzYcTIeKtQ7IjJwnTg

5) Hasta Mañana

"Where is the spring and the summer
That once was yours and mine?
Where did it go?
I just don't know
[...]
Hasta mañana, 'til we meet again
Don't know where, don't know when"

Sounds about right https://open.spotify.com/track/0ymYtcrJsfwI4y5Zdsj0WB?si=-VWYd40xSVGV9wcVwmSbVA

6) Kisses Of Fire

One of their most euphoric songs. When I bungy-jumped in Cairns, this was my accompanying song.

Favourite moments - how explosive their first chorus is, the harmonies on 'landslide of emotion', and one of their smoothest key changes. https://open.spotify.com/track/4zoWdR02nRwK8NWqpCM151?si=AsAbvhAqRJuUXey5xE2Vrw
