"THRENODY"
Lilacs blossom just as sweet
Now my heart is shattered
If I bowled it down the street
Who's to say it mattered?
If there's one that rode away
What would I be missing?
Lips that taste of tears, they say
Are the best for kissing
Eyes that match the morning star
Seem a little brighter
Arms held out to darkness are
Usually whiter
Shall I bar the strolling guest
Bind my brow with willow
When, they say, the empty breast
Is the softer pillow?
That the heart falls tinkling down
Never think it ceases
Every likely lad in town
Gathers up the pieces
If there's one gone whistling by
Would I let it grieve me?
Let him wonder if I lie
Let him half believe me.

I just can't think of any adequate descriptive words to describe Frida's heavenly voice of an angel! No matter what she sings, it just knocks my socks off and sends me to another world. Not to mention her dazzling eyes and beautiful smile. Frida has it all, and has never let it go to her head, as it happens to so many 'stars'. An amazing, exceptionally talented and beautiful woman in every aspect.

[@williamoverly1617]

Her voice, her charm, her look---captivating!

[@larrylaurence8041]

Hey how did your imaginary candle lit dinner with Frida go? Was tonight the night? No you cant rise to the occasion. I agree with you William. When you said to me "see it works both way jerk". Im a Frida fan William. I never made a rude comment about her. I was just asking someone a question. Ya wack job jerk. See it works both ways. Jerk....

프리다님의 애절한 사랑은 베니의 배신에 대하여 너무 가슴 아픈 충격입니다 안니 프리다님께서 격었던 그때의 아픔과 슬픔에 함께 슬퍼집니다 노후 신의 은총이 가득 하소서 💞💞💞💞💞💞

[@juliocaesaralcaraz9891]

I heard this song 🎶 in a small pizza 🍕 restaurant in Nuremberg 1984. I never forgot it back then and how I’m enjoying it all over again

[@patrickmccarthy3123]

Cant believe how beautiful Frida was in her ABBA time I'm totally besotted,apart from her melodious voice make a mould of her someone

[@Valda-ez5oe]

Forever ABBA.

[@miguel9536]

[@Valda-ez5oe]

Eles formavam dois lindos casais e uma banda top demais!

Meus! Que música linda é essa da minha diva

[@Valda-ez5oe]

Linda canta muito Love Any Frida beutifil Forever 😍

[@markfretwell1]

This was a fantastic solo album by Anni-Frid which didn't get the recognition it so deserved. There are some powerful excellent songs on the album that given better air play and media coverage would have been monstrous hits. Thanks for posting :-)

[@danbike9]

This got lots of attention. Frida & Phil Collins. Howvcanbyiu forget. It was a big deal. ABBA was still active and Frida hooking up with Phil Collins. A TV special was made on the making of the album. Frida had an intl hit with "Somethings Going On" Lots of MTV. Great album. This album was a critical and commercial success.

[@Cicilo1983]

@@danbike9 Yes, it was a big hit. The best-selling solo effort by any ABBA member, as a matter of fact. But Markfretwell still has a point: this album could have had such a longer run on the charts than it did. It faded away after the first single did so well.

[@jeanpierreechinard3415]

Très belle chanson.

[@harpsicello]

It is heart breaking to see these pics and hear this song... no idea what happened between them.

[@viciousv422]

favorite of mine. actually- favorite song favorite woman =) her voice is amazing.

[@BadMoonandStars]

The music for this song was composed by Per Gessle from the Swedish duo Roxette (who did songs such as It Must Have Been Love and Listen to your Heart) and the lyrics are a poem by American Dorothy Parker.

[@AlwaysMusica]

Love this song and album! :)

[@ningenneko-coversong]

I wonder how it is like if Frida & Agnetha sing this song together.

[@Flap999]

This video is a terrific creation Jim, thanks for sharing. Great song.

[@abbafanglosuk]

This is a very nice song that soon grows on you Jim. There's a haunting feeling about it, with Frida's lower pitched voice. It seems to be about a broken heart, there's plenty of nice pics here to show how close Frida and Benny were. Amazing how the 2 relationships followed such similar paths!

[@saralouazo8928]

2:27 - this holy circle above his head

[@garyprocter8342]

Per Gessle(Roxette) wrote the music...He knew he needed a female voice for his music...enter Marie

[@danbike9]

Hard to beat Anni-Frid Lyngstad. Do you understand the kind of reputation she has among singers and musicians? Ask Jon Lord of Deep Purple. He is gone now but he is on record gushing over Frida's vocal talent. She has stacks of Best Vocalist awards too include National Best Vocalist she won in 1967. She was child prodigy. Her teachers noticed her vocal abilities in grade school. The ABBA songwriters, Benny & Born and their engineer, Michael Tretow, considered Frida a master vocalist. ABBA had a vocal weapon with Frida. Maria (RIP) & Frida were friends Maria sang on Frida's 1996 album.

[@regaltip8A]

@@danbike9 Thanks for your comment. I have only recently been listening to Something Going On Album and this track stood out. What a great vocalist . Excellent album as well.

[@missmatrix]

Thank you for uploading! By the way, in the poem should read "Eyes that WATCH the morning star" and "That A heart falls tinkling down". Loved the video (love the song). Best regards from Mexico =)

[@Cicilo1983]

Love this song and performance. Her debut English album was perhaps too lowkey for the banging, synth-heavy early 80s, but it contains so many wonderful songs... Always wondered what she's singing in the chorus, though. Is it simply wordless humming ?

[@RoodeMenon]

Simple times.

[@bahheh7759]

among abba's singers. I think only frida is the rock chick and the music sounds rock.

[@fyrklover..8974]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@EdwinMaruriFILM]

can anyone tell me what this song is about?

[@chelseacharger]

+EdwinMaruriFILM It's about a lament to a lost love (or lover) but at the same time looking at the positive side. Instead of being the heartbroken woman left behind, the singer wonders how they could be now an attraction to a new suitor.

[@bourlivak88]

btw Benny with an aureola 2:25 lol..
