ABBA | One of Us | 1981

@ no.5

Well, you might as well sign off in some archetypal style. A song about going through the motions from a band doing pretty much the same.

Well the ABBA ‘deniers’ couldn’t have been listening too closely, could they? “SOS”, “Knowing Me Knowing You”, “Name of the Game”, “Winner Takes It All”, “The Day Before You Came”, even “Mama Mia” (‘I’ve been cheated by you since I don’t know when’).

ABBA | The Visitors | 1981

@ no.6

“They must know by now, I'm in here trembling / In a terror ever growing / Crackin' up / My whole world is falling, going crazy.” Dark stuff. Possibly the darkest yet. On a personal and political level.
