Maybe I had an emotional peak or whatever, but the songs from 1975 have a special place in my heart. For entire songs, without trying to sound cool or ambiguous, they plunge into soaring melodies. Refreshingly, theyre not afraid of melodrama and dare to lure the listener into singalongs or carry himher on the wings of effortless melodies. The songs sound so natural and easy that it is too easy to forget how original they really are. Look a little closer and you will be astounded, for this is not the stuff one can throw together spontaneously or casually. This is composed pop par excellence, carefully constructed and always fresh, new and original. The composers (and co-performers) Bjrn and Benny can easily be ranked among such geniuses as LennonMcCartney, Brian Wilson, Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello, whose dedication, hard work and natural instinct has gradually turned pop into a respectable form of art. Even though ABBAs music is immediate, enjoyable and understood by anyone, it can be complex and (particularly during the second half of their career, when their relationships started to crumble) full of deep nostalgia, regret and hope. The music is multi-layered with interesting details added to the melodies at every step, with Abba being the more subtle of the two. Both bands strove (and mostly succeeded) in treating every single song as individual, trying to discover new melodic twists and approaches. Therefore, their music hardly ever echoes older songs, being strikingly novel and fresh. There is also a certain flamboyance, grandeur and confidence in the melodic sweep. While no one singer can quite match Freddie Mercury, Agnetha and Anna-Frid do so together, dazzling the listener with their beautiful vocals and exquisite harmonies. Their voices contrast each other and when they are weaved together, the pop tapestry becomes as subtle and ambiguous as the one woven by more elusive bands, like the Cocteau Twins. ![]() It was a perfect, vividly cinematic moment that could not have been pulled off without the help of the worlds greatest pop band, and the scene, in essence, captures what ABBAs all about. Probably the most popular band in the world, aside from The Beatles, ABBA expresses the dualistic nature in us all. We embrace ABBA because they write fun, happy songs that are catchy and memorable, but if ABBA were merely happy-smiley they wouldnt have outlasted the 70s. ABBA have become the ultimate pop band in an intertextual way, as we as listeners interpret what ABBA has to offer through the entire history of pop music and filter it into their magnificent essentialist mode of creation. Some people balk at ABBA, reducing their music to confection or commodity, but I think thats missing the point. Im not sure ABBA ever set out to be as huge as they were (are). I just think that Benny, Bjrn, Agnetha and Anni-Frid managed to take all the lessons that pop music had taught them, and repeated each one prodigiously, developing their own signature sound in the process. The themes seemed to be about things important to a younger person. Being older now makes me want for others to have the same experiences as I did.
