    Lyrics:
    Half past twelve
    and I’m watchin’ the late show
    in my flat all alone
    how I hate to spend
    the evening on my own
    autumn winds
    blowin’ outside the window
    as I look around the room
    and it makes me so
    depressed to see the gloom
    there’s not a soul out there
    no one to hear my prayer
    Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
    A man after midnight
    won’t somebody help me
    chase the shadows away
    Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
    A man after midnight
    take me through the darkness
    to the break of the day
    Movie stars
    find the end of the rainbow
    with a fortune to win
    it’s so different from
    the world I’m living in
    tired of TV
    I open the window
    and I gaze into the night
    but there’s nothing there to see
    no one in sight
    there’s not a soul out there
    no one to hear my prayer
    Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
    A man after midnight
    won’t somebody help me
    chase the shadows away
    Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
    A man after midnight
    take me through the darkness
    to the break of the day

    Released on 23 April 1979, making this song 46 years old - and it a song that still works: put this on at any party, disco, funeral, bar mizvah or wedding and people will storm the dance floor, still! I defy you to pick a current song or band who'll pull this off for even the next decade...
    Thank you for the music ABBA 🙏

      The songwriting is so efficient and effective, so unpretentious, every member knows their role and lives up to the task, the lyrics are memorable and resonate to an existential struggle we all deal with during our lives, yet the melody is uplifting and positive about the future. It's just perfectly executed - somehow the stars aligned on this song, you can't "force" this amount of brilliance.

    Here you have the lyrics to listen to this gem well 🔥🔥🔥
    Half-past twelve
    And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
    How I hate to spend the evening on my own
    Autumn winds
    Blowing outside the window as I look around the room
    And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
    There's not a soul out there
    No one to hear my prayer
    Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
    Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
    Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
    Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
    Movie stars
    Find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win
    It's so different from the world I'm living in
    Tired of TV
    I open the window and I gaze into the night
    But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
    There's not a soul out there
    No one to hear my prayer
    Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
    Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
    Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
    Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
    Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
    Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
    There's not a soul out there
    No one to hear my prayer
    Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
    Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
    Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
    Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
    Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight

      Agreed. This is like the Tom & Jerry of the Music World, no matter how old it is, us millennials like it. (Not generalizing, but there are millennials who love it)

    All that I know is that back in the 1970s ABBA should have gotten a greater reception than what they received back then

      Here in Europe they had a lot of critical voices(mainly UK/Sweden) back then but had a rapturous insistent approval by the record buying public that rushed in the shops and bought their records in phenomenal amounts.As Benny kinda said recently.'after some time we didn't care about bad reviews cause the next day we had again a no1 record all over' So people loved and time proved still do.i.e.This song is still a banger in 2024 and imagine this was recorded 45 years ago! and still kicks it.

      On a side note ABBA were the first group to create multitrack recording.

      No? Multi-track recording has been popular since the mid 50s.

      +Jan_Shane Nah, the live version of this song called Knights of Cydonia by a band called Muse is the most epic especially with the big rock intro.

      That intro is the reason that Hung Up - Madonna became the best song of 2005.
