    The way Benny linked this song to SOS with the simple piano accords at the end is just another proof of the genius he is. I can only see now how much I have missed these four talented people in the last 40+ years. I hope they never stop. ❤️

    I was skeptical that something on this album would live up to "Don't Shut Me Down". It's insane how good this song is. I think a lot of this album is a "retrospective", going through Abba's different styles and different musical styles of the world, too. I feel like this is definitely the one that pays tribute to "The Visitors", my favorite album of theirs. The darker subject matter, taking place after the divorce, and heavy emphasis on synthesizers convinces me. The fact that it ends on the signature opening notes of SOS is not just a cool easter egg, but also thematically ties in since that was their first big single about trouble in their marriage. Spectacular.

      Their song "No Doubt About It" gets me going too! And the more I hear it, the better it gets! Would love to hear an Agnetha lead version as she has some killer rock notes/voices, but it's real cool to see Frida own it also.

    She must have lost some wight
    She looks better than ever.
    Funny how quickly it takes me
    Right back to our first date
    Have I lost her forever?
    I'll keep an eye on my Dan
    I'm a loving man
    Your know that I'll never upset him
    I'll keep an eye on my Dan
    And I won't forget you'll be here

      I can see your point, yet, interestingly, there are not any such male backing vocals on "The Visitors" at all. You might be thinking about "Two For The Price Of One" in which the male vocals are lead and the female vocals are backing. Other than that, "Lovelight" or even "Take A Chance On Me" might come closest.

    In a world that often has little joy, the return of ABBA is like the sun coming out from behind the clouds. I know many have sniped about this being a rehash of old stuff masking as new material, but I think most of us fall immediately under the magic of the joyous vocals and uplifting classic ABBA sound. Familiar yet new at the same time, instantly lodged in your brain like any classic ABBA song. We were always blessed to have ABBA, and we are doubly blessed to live through their miraculous return, and to hear them sound just as great - if not better - than ever. I love these people, even if I will never know them, from the bottom of my heart. I only pray they don't disappear on us after this album...this world (actually, any world) will always, always, always need ABBA!

      They are story tellers, not having to use their group name as a lyric filler (like a lot of more recent artist do). Nor do they have a hook that keeps repeating continually. They do sometimes have questionable lyrics "as smug as a cat" etc -but then I have 4 cats and tbh that line is as accurate a description as there ever will be. I didn't expect it in a ppp song - but after initial shock I have to say it works! They write in a foreign language and use English turns of phrase very successfully in context which is amazing in itself especially as English is one of the hardest languages to learn. All 4 of them are proper musicians, songwriters and lyricists. Not many of today's acts have that ability. Go ABBA! My 6 yr old who goes to her Dad's each week and has suffered separation anxiety has been helped so much by this song and absolutely adores it!

    This song is BRILLIANT! ! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A NEW ALBUM FROM ABBA SINCE THEIR LAST THE VISITORS. Agnetha and Frida have the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. When I was young my sister and I would listen to their albums and try and guess which girl was singing which song. Both, voices were exquisite. This new album just brings back all those memories of my childhood. THANK YOU ABBA! LOVE IT!

    I just heard the complete album, and the melancholic music of this song (on this rainy day in a corner of Argentina) caught me hopelessly. The lyrics, surprisingly, took it to a higher level. It feels autobiographical (about them), but it sure touches the hearts of many couples who have left the heartbreaking imprint of their love on a child.

    This is a Masterpiece. I love it every day more. Love the tension, the nerve, the pauses, the drama, the faint, the breath in every note that Agnetha puts to sings with absolute divine. So touching, so moving, disruptive atmosphefe with strong melody and meaningfull lyrics and the final chords of S.O.S. to conclude it's the best fade out ever. My favorite in the album for now. I need please the lyrics of the backing track sung by the boys in the chorus, I love how they answered as the "ex-husband" role.

    As a life long USA ABBA fan and listener-first heard them in 1975 when I was 13 years old-this is one of my FAVORITE songs and quintessential ABBA! For me it references, while still being totally new, “So Long,” “SOS” (obviously), “Tiger,” “The King Has Lost His Crown”…I could “On and On and On,” but my point is that this TRUE ABBA GOLD!

    Its like being put in a time machine. One women in the lead, while the other women perfectly completes it. And from time to time the boys show up and include their call and response singing. And the whole singing is accompanied by perfectly arranged synthie sounds. A mixture of all the recipes that made ABBA great, succesful and timeless. This is master class when it comes to pop music.

    What I really love about this new and final album, is that it's ABBA, but with the experience of 40 years of life on this earth. The voices are more raw, with more life experience behind it. They have seen things, they have lived, so every sentence has a very powerful meaning, almost abscent in the original music.
