    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. ❤️

    B&B backing vocals beginning at 3:02
    Seven on Sunday to get him,
    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
    On Sunday to get him.
    It's just incredible how ABBA tells us this history's other side using backing vocals - pure geniuses.

    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.

      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.

    I love how the song and its use of guitar, synths, and strings is dramatic and suspenseful when she sings about her feelings, and then is contrasted when she sings to her ex about taking care of Dan--putting on a brave face when she's crumbling inside. I LOVE how Voyage seems to be for my generation of fans. We've lived and loved and lost. And we know great songs when we hear them!

    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!

    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!
