    Eight years ago, my wife died and left me a one year old son, Dani, along with other two older boys. He is 9 now. I tried my best to keep an eye on Dan. I raised him by myself. This song breaks my heart. Thank you ABBA.

    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 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.

      @foopyu nooui “Keep an Eye on Dan” follows the story of divorced parents dealing with shared custody of their children - something that many adults may deal with. Just like the way Bjorn and Agnetha been. It's really real story in the case of the two AB.

    If ABBA has not changed their tunes their critics have not changed their tunes either. The same things the critics are saying about ABBA's music today they were saying 40 years ago. The names of the critics will not be remembered next week even but I think 50 years from now people will still be listening to ABBA! The best music and most enduring music is hypnotic in nature. Hypnotic in a good and gentle way. It wakens up the good serotonin. I leave the more difficult music to those hellbent on wanting music to reflect their adolescent angst or overall anxiety and depression or artistic purity. The criticisms of ABBA today are no more original than the criticisms of the past. If critics want ABBA to up their game the critics need to as well.

      So true. I am amused to see how the public ignored the professional critics and has made ABBA an enduring success over the decades. It is almost as if they never left the stage. Mark you, I too thought some of the pieces on this Voyage album were overproduced but the more I have listened the more I love what I am hearing.

      Wonderful statement Ken! The music consists of harmonious sounds, the voices are soothing for ears and soul. It is partly church music or like caresses. No compulsion to imitate today's aggressive sound and disharmonious sounds with their aggressive yelling. ABBA is incomparable and completely independent art. The music of people's hearts. Listening to ABBA means having the courage to want to continue living.

This new album just brings back all those memories of my childhood. THANK YOU ABBA! LOVE IT!

      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.

But the world really had enough of ABBA. It was Muriel and Pricilla that made the world have another look some years later. Since then they have enjoyed the accolades they so deservedly been given. ABBA Gold being at number 11 after 1080 weeks in the uk charts says a lot. Voyage being one of the biggest "physical" sellers in billboard history of streaming age says even more. 77k of physical sales in one week in this day and age is amazing.
