About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The song has a “piano and guitar-led instrumental”. Many of ABBA’s pieces are full of “thematic throwaways of the rich folk music culture [of Sweden]”. This song is a “solo vehicle” in which to indulge in classical music. The grand piano is the central instrument, layered by a “flamboyant network of synth textures and brass punches”. ABBA: Let The Music Speak explains “the main theme is inviting and uncomplicated, constantly giving way to a rapid-fire succession of mood-swinging secondary themes”.
