Loving your journey down the 'ABBA rabbit hole'. You should do the live at Wembley double transition of Does Your Mother Know/Hole In Your Soul its amazing.
Even though this song was recorded a few years before they stopped performing together, it had become more or less their swan song, played at most of their final TV appearances. You could say it was a foreshadowing of what was to come.
Such a lovely song.
What a beautiful song!
Agnetha/Benny conexion👌
Love❤ ABBA👑

Hello, so nice to see you again with more ABBA songs to react
"Thank you for the music" (1977)
has many interesting details
There is an interview to Björn & Benny at 1976 Christmas time,
there the reporter asks Them if have a preview of a song,
and there both play the melody (without lyrics) of the future "Thank you for the music"
"Thank you for the music"
is the first song of the mini musical that ABBA performed on their 1977 Europe & Australia Tour,
wich tittle was "The Girl with the Golden Hair"
the mini musical includes:
Thank you for the music
I wonder (departure)
I'm a marionette
Get on the carrusel
(the last song is the only that wasn't released in ABBA The Album)
"Thank you for the music"
is at the end of "ABBA The Movie", and shows ABBA in their homeland again
"Thank you for the music"
it's a very special song for the blonde singer Agnetha
She just came back with ABBA from Australia,
shortly after She got pregnant with her second child
When it was time to record it, She was in advanced stage of pregnancy,
and to recorded it She had to do it in a more forced position
When you see her in each presentation,
Agnetha's face seems to transform with joy when interpreting "Thank you for the music":
her gestures, her looks and her pouting are unmissable
"Thank you for the music"
was used as the last number of ABBA to a lot of TV presentation
It's like an ABBA hymn and classic
wasn't a single (until 1983, after ABBA breakup),
but should have been the 3rd single of "ABBA The Album" in 1978,
follow to "Take a chance on me"
After the success of "Chiquitita" in Spanish-speaking countries,
ABBA also recorded it in Spanish and it was a great success in my country Argentina.
And the ABBA album in Spanish language was called just like that
"Gracias por la música" (Thank you for the music)
In my personal opinion
"Thank you for the music"
is in my top 10 of all ABBA songs,
for good lyrics, beautiful melody and greatest interpretation by a carismatic Agnetha
and in my Top5 of all Agnetha songs as lead voice in ABBA
and it is the last live performance of ABBA,
in that section sung almost 'a cappella' at the end of the last interview of ABBA in 1982
and in the new Voyage Concerts at the new ABBA Arena in London UK, since last May 2022,
"Thank you for the music" was included in the set list at the final group
also, in a last interview to the live streaming of the ABBA comeback in September 2021
when the reporter asked for the hits, the own Benny said about songs that coul be hit or not,
that "Thank you for the music" is a hit, although never was released as a single
Now, after these reaction
it could be interesting to follow with
"I wonder (departure)"
the next song in the 'mini musical' and in 'ABBA The Album'
I wish you a great weekend
My best regards from
Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
