Mamma
Mia! 全世界最受歡迎而且唱片銷售量非常高的合唱團ABBA又回來了。
ABBA於1970年代早期由Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny 與Anni-Frid 在瑞典組成,團名就是四名團員名字的頭一個字母的組合,除了Anni-Frid出生於挪威之外,另三人都是瑞典人,ABBA 1982年就宣告解散,所以這個合唱團已經有35年沒有發行新歌,然而最近事情有了改變,去年12月(2018)他們推出了二首新歌,其中之一是"I Still Have Faith In You",新作將在BBC TV特別節目領銜播出。
對這個傳奇合唱團而言今年將是一個超越之年,去年夏天ABBA的Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again音樂劇才改編為電影推出上演。
為了慶祝ABBA的復出,英國的贊助廠商決定對他們在1972 到1983年活躍於歌壇的盛況再加報導,ABBA的資料分析內容包括25 首單曲10張專輯,還有1992年的精選輯。
ABBA
1978年的單曲"Thank You for the Music"因未推出單曲,在Billboard Hot 100排行榜並未出現,但因非常受歡迎,特別受推薦為Classic NON-HOT 100 Songs。
"Thank
You for the Music"最早出現在ABBA 的The Album專輯中,這張專輯於1977年11月22日在瑞典斯德哥爾摩的錄音室錄製完成,是他們第五張錄音室專輯,當年12月12日在瑞典公開發行,但因為預訂的歌迷太多,導致聖誕節前來不及發片,直到隔年元月才與電影ABBA: The Movie在倫敦一起推出,當然,電影裡用了幾首The Album當中的歌做插曲。
The Album專輯有二首英國排行榜冠軍曲"Take a Chance on Me" 及 "The Name of the Game"(這二首歌在Billboard
Hot 100排行榜分別獲得#3及#12),而"Eagle" 及 "Thank You for the
Music"則是歐洲各地很受歡迎的歌,1994年ABBA推出四張CD一套的盒裝紀念版就取名"Thank You for the
Music",2008年略做修改曾再度推出。
ABBA作品很多,在歷年暢銷歌星排行榜獲得第201名,他們的冠軍曲Dancing Queen是滾石雜誌500大哥曲榜第171名的歌。
音樂帶給他們很多,他們感謝音樂,歌迷們也要謝謝他們,很棒的歌。
Thank You
for the Music

I'm
nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell
a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have
a talent, a wonderful thing
Cause
everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so
grateful and proud
All I want
is to sing it out loud
So I say
Thank you
for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for
all the joy they're bringing
Who can
live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would
life be?
Without a
song or a dance what are we?
So I say
thank you for the music
For giving
it to me
Mother
says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I
began to sing long before I could talk
But I've
often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found
out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a
melody can?
Well,
whoever it was, I'm a fan
So I say
Thank you
for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for
all the joy they're bringing
Who can
live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would
life be?
Without a
song or a dance what are we?
So I say
thank you for the music
For giving
it to me
I've been
so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna
sing it out to everybody
What a joy,
what a life, what a chance!
So I say
Thank you
for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for
all the joy they're bringing
Who can
live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would
life be?
Without a
song or a dance what are we?
So I say
thank you for the music
For giving
it to me
