      Nowadays metalheads and hard rock fans are open about their love & respect for ABBA. Lemmy in Motörhead and Ritchie Blackmore were both big ABBA fanatics and were open about it, even back in the late 70s. Any rocker that likes ABBA should check out the band Ghost, they are can fill an arena headling these days so it's likely that many of you know of their music.
      Their discography has so much ABBA inspired pop sorcery mixed with an tradtional late 70s/early 80s heavy metal/hard rock and a hundred other sounds from different eras. Their newest album is recorded at ABBA's old studio and you can hear the same piano as used in Money, Money, Money on two songs on that Ghost album. Spillways is one of those two. Highly recommend. Cheers mate!

    This song reminds of my grandparents. They both fought in the Mexican Revolution from 1910 to 1920. They were separated in the conflict when the train they were on was blown up. My grandmother and grandfather happened to be on opposite ends of the train when the bomb went off. Each thought the other was dead. Two years later they walked past each other on a train platform. They were married for 75 years.

    My Grandfather always loved this song. When he was on his deathbed, I played this for him, and while he was sick and exhausted, he cried but smiled when he heard what was playing and did his best to sing the words despite being short of breath. I'll forever think of him when I hear this song now. Rest In Peace Grandpa, Francisco Fernando Cabral.

    One of the most meaningful, albeit misunderstood songs by abba. Even my old folks think this is a love song about a lad named Fernando. This song makes me think of my grandfather who fought in WW2. "I was so afraid Fernando,...none of us were prepared to die...I am not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry...they were shining there for...liberty". So poignant and powerful.

    Abba wrote three versions of Fernando. The first was in Swedish and told the story of lost love. The second was English and told the story of two veterans in the 1910 Mexican Civil War. The third was in Spanish.
    My father loved this song. He fought as an infantryman on the front lines in three wars. This song makes me cry for him.

      I had the great experience of meeting and conversing with Panch Villa's widow. It was in 1971 in Chihuahua City. She was 79 years old. Her name was Maria de la Luz Corral viuda de Villa. She had a powerful voice, joyful and full of confidence. It was memory that I treasure. In her house she had the car in which Panco was assassinated, full of bullet holes.

After Pancho's death, there were four wives that wanted the big 50 room house. By then the fellow she spared was president of Mexico. Somehow he had heard of this conversation and he granted the house to her.

      @NextWorld Thank you, Next, but my part was tiny. These other accounts are just in the historical record. But to share another bit, Pancho and his men were gathering money from business owners and individuals to fund their military operations. That's where he met Luz in her mother's little store. He liked her looks, but most of all, he liked that she was articulate. She was 18 years old, and he proposed marriage. She was the second wife. It is said that he had more than forty "wives." But Luz had a special distinction. She is the only wife who had a marriage certificate. They went to the Catholic priest, who said that Pancho would need to do confession. Panco said that he had committed so many sins and done so many bad deeds that the priest would simply not have time enough to hear it all. The priest then said, "Well, then let's just skip it," and the marriage ceremony proceeded as scheduled.
      Luz became an important part of the revolution. At one point, for her safety, she went to Cuba briefly, then spent about two years in San Antonio, TX. She spoke to me in good English, which presumably she learned in TX.

      ABBA has lots of these beautiful classical style songs in their catalogue.
      ABBA is known for their big wall-of-sound, big unison (third voice) songs, but their most beautiful ones are their more classical ones which they back-off the wall-of-sound and huge third voice chorus.... These more classically inspired songs promote the emotion and beauty.
      Anni-Frid Lyngstad on lead is heavenly. She has refined vocal vocal skills and has mastered diaphragmatic breathing.
      Listen to her original 'Fernando' in Swedish, a huge solo hit for her in 1975. It's breathtakingly beautiful.
      A year later ABBA recorded this English version. Also, a huge hit for ABBA. So this is technically an ABBA cover of Anni-Frid's original Swedish language 'Fernando'.
      A few very beautiful ABBA songs that have more classical stylings.
      - One Man One Woman
      - Andante Andante
      - When All Is Said And Done
      - Gonna Sing You My Love Song
      - Like An Angel Passing Through My Room
      - Tropical Paradise
      - I, Wonder
      - I Let The Music Speak
      - Our Last Summer

      @@danbike9 Hi! Yes, indeed! "Andante, Andante", "Our Last Summer", & back to the Latin sound with "Chiquitita" - these are 3 of my faves. You saw where Metallica paid tribute to ABBA in their home country by playing "Dancing Queen", yeah? Said to myself, "Well, I can die now, because I've seen EVERYTHING!". But that just speaks to ABBA's lasting universal appeal. And, of course, there's the HUGE Broadway musical, "Mama Mia!". I think 1 thing that makes them so extraordinary is that their beautiful voices blend & harmonize so well. Listening to them is like strolling through a gorgeous formal garden - every flower, bush, & tree carefully placed to compliment all the others, presenting a perfectly coordinated whole.

    Can you hear the drums Fernando?
    I remember long ago another starry night like this
    In the firelight Fernando
    You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
    I could hear the distant drums
    And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
    They were closer now Fernando
    Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
    I was so afraid Fernando
    We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
    And I'm not ashamed to say
    The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
    There was something in the air that night
    The stars were bright, Fernando
    They were shining there for you and me
    For liberty, Fernando
    Though I never thought that we could lose
    There's no regret
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando
    Now we're old and grey Fernando
    And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
    Can you hear the drums Fernando?
    Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
    I can see it in your eyes
    How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
    There was something in the air that night
    The stars were bright, Fernando
    They were shining there for you and me
    For liberty, Fernando
    Though I never thought that we could lose
    There's no regret
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando
    Yes, if I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando...

The US, UK, Russia, and Egypt, ganged-up against oil-d ich Biafra, in spite of global condemnation of the massacre of 2 million Igbos in Western and Northern Nigeria, and Lagos. In May 1966, alone, 350,000 Igbos were killed in Kaduna, Zaria, Kano, and Sokoto, alone. I joined the army, to defend a piece of earth, where my people could be free, from the constant pogrom. We would not have lost, without the UNHOLY, ahistorical alliance of America, Britain, Russia, Egypt, etc. Israel broke ranks with the US, to give us some support. The Vatican, Italy, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Canada, Tanzania, Enegal, Haiti, and other, Christian nations, threatened with US sanctions, gave us FOOD but, not arms, to defend ourselves.

Although I was a big "rock and roller" and rhythm and blues man I am completely obsessed with their stunning beauty and angelic voices. I am in love from afar with Agnetha and Frida......both then and today. I attend some of their tribute shows and I consider the group from Canada the best. Oddly my favorite song is "I Do, I Do, I Do. I Do, I Do" but I have about 8 that I play over and over.

I Do, I Do is a great tune, my mother loved that song so i heard it a lot growing up.

    Easily one of the best songs ever wrote. Voices of angels.

    If there's a list of songs that immediately give the listener pause, this must be at the top of that list. Everything, from the voices, the orchestration, to the lyrics cause one to get lost in the moment. Fernando, IMHO, is a masterpiece for the ages.

    I was in primary school year 4 when this song was released. All the girls in the class used to sing it to our Spanish classmate Fernando. He was quite cute and we all liked him.

    Dear Lord, somewhere since music has died. This was exquisitely, perfectly, beautiful. There's no way a melody like that can ever be described as "old".

    Why does listening to ABBA songs in my 50s just make me cry? Goddammit!

      Their songs are full of melancholy, even the happier upbeat tunes of theirs have this element. Melancholy is something writers, musicians and artists in Sweden often have included in their art since decades before ABBA come along.. few have done it as well as ABBA before or after though:) Often makes one happy while also a bit nostalgic and sad, i reckon that feeling increases the more you age and think back on the good ol' days. It's also just masterful songwriting in general.. that evokes strong feelings/emotions as a result.

    Two very talented musicians, two ladies whose voices blended like no others. A cute, sexy one and a classic beauty. Together they made history.
