Willie Finn Thanks - I saw a programme on ABBA which featured a wooden cabin in the countryside with a grand piano where the songs I guess were conceived at the keyboard?

[@escloire4642]

Hi, like Willie wrote this song is perfect for a church organ. Great cover. About the cabin, its on Viggsö one of the 24.000 islands of the Stockholm archipelago. They wrote most of there beggining songs until "The Album" during the summer. After that, they went on Barbados and the Bahamas ;o)

[@ronaldanthony4]

I've seen most of your fantastic ABBA covers.

Benny Andersson was the Bach of the 20th century, so this makes sense!

"My love of Bach is deep, strong and everlasting." Benny Andersson - 2017 (Piano)

Or, Bach was the Andersson, Wilson, Gershwin, Bernstein, McCartney of the 18th century.

[@Mario-xr3jo]

@Ernest Vardanean That's what I thought as well.

[@loydgravitt7733]

I love Benny Andersson and he is an awesome tunesmith. But no century (except the 18th) has had a Bach. He was the greatest single musical genius and artist in history and no one else even comes close. There is Bach and then there is everyone else.

[@VonBlargh]

The Chorus IS based on a Lutheran hymn so this is not a huge strech..... Well done!!! And making a rhythm with the verse..... great polyphony!

I didn't know that but I was going to comment before I read this that this song is well suited to a church organ because the chorus is rather hymn-like.

Benny and Bjorn's masterpiece, theatrical operatic musical 'Kristina fran Duvemala', music: Benny Andersson lyricist/playwright: Bjorn Ulvaes was stages all over Europe. The concert version was performed in Minnesota due to the Swedish emigrations. They actually performed the concert in Lindstrom, MN in a high school gym. Full orchestra and along with the four principle characters. Benny & Bjorn were in attendance. The concert was also performed at Minneapolis.

Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me (Don't go sharing your devotion) It was like shooting a sitting duck A little smalltalk, a smile and baby I was stuck I still don't know what you've done with me A grown-up woman should never fall so easily I feel a kind of fear When I don't have you near Unsatisfied, I skip my pride I beg you dear... Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me I've had a few little love affairs They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce I used to think I was sensible It makes the truth even more incomprehensible 'Cause everything is new And everything is you And all I've learned has overturned What can I do... Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me

the chorus sounds INCREDIBLE... especially the parts that literally involve the "lay your love on me" lyrics part. plug in some nice headphones, or a nice set of speakers with a good subwoofer... it genuinely doesn't get better than this. why bother for looking for joy in all these hard to reach places when you can just listen to this? and no one is having more fun than him.
