ABBA...'Don't Shut Me Down'...

My musical taste may be downgraded a little with this call, but the new ABBA release is simply incredible...
Have to give to these guys, they know how to turn a song into a dramatic connection with the fibres of life itself...

And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah 

I'm fired up, don't shut me down 

I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded 

I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down 

I'm not the one you knew, I'm now, and then combined 

And I'm asking you to have an open mind (and I won't be the same) 

I'm not the same this time around (ooh) 

I'm fired up, don't shut me down

While I may imply that I'm an ABBA fan, in actual fact, I'm not. To me, they're the 'Ken+Barbie dolls' of the music world. For those who need some 'sugar-coated' reality, they're healers. But ABBA's tenacious 'reinvention journey' (think 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert')=WOW👏👏👏

P.S. But I've always loved 'Fernando'...
'There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando...'

Shhhhhh.......😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️
