Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Half past twelveAnd I’m watchin’ the late show in my flat, all aloneHow I hate to spend the evening on my ownAutumn windsBlowin’ outside the window as I look around the roomAnd it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There’s not a soul out thereNo one to hear my prayer
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnightWon’t somebody help me chase these shadows away?Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnightTake me through the darkness to the break of the day
Movie starsFind the end of the rainbow with a fortune to winIt’s so different from the world I’m living inTired of TVI open the window and I gaze into the nightBut there’s nothing there to see, no one in sight
There’s not a soul out thereNo one to hear my prayer
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnightWon’t somebody help me chase these shadows away?Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnightTake me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnightGimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Frida’s jealousy, Benny explains, stemmed not just from the obvious success of ABBA but also from Agnetha’s more prominent role as the “golden girl” of the group. Agnetha’s image was the one most prominently featured in their music videos and promotional material. As one of the lead singers of ABBA, Agnetha’s striking beauty and angelic voice earned her a reputation that was hard to rival. On top of that, Agnetha’s personal life, which was often in the limelight, added fuel to the fire. Her marriage to Björn Ulvaeus, ABBA’s other main songwriter, only seemed to add to the tension.
Introduction
Despite these challenges, ABBA became one of the most iconic bands of the 70s and early 80s. Their unmatched talent and chemistry brought forth some of the most timeless pop hits in history. Tracks like “Dancing Queen,” “Mamma Mia,” “Take A Chance On Me,” and “Waterloo” are still celebrated today, proving the band’s lasting legacy in pop culture. These songs, with their infectious melodies and harmonious vocals, catapulted the group to global stardom, solidifying their place in music history.
However, as Benny reveals, the behind-the-scenes challenges, including Frida’s jealousy, were difficult to manage at times. Though the group always managed to put on an united front, personal feelings often made things complicated. Benny mentioned that despite the tension, the band still shared a deep mutual respect for each other’s talents. He even pointed out that both Agnetha and Frida had their own distinct contributions, which played an integral part in shaping ABBA’s sound.
Conclusion
This revelation has stunned many fans who had only seen the group’s unity in public appearances. Now, decades after the group’s dissolution, we finally gain insight into the personal struggles that affected their chemistry. It is a reminder that even legends like ABBA were not immune to the pressures of fame, jealousy, and the complexities of human relationships.
