Probably ABBA's most underrated song and one of their best.

As far as i'm concerned at the age of 61 this is probably the best pop song ever written. And even in 2026 it still brings tears. Perfect in every way. A story in music.x

This song described my life 37 years ago, working two jobs as an immigrant who came to the US with nothing, I was working routinely without aim, lived the single life yet still without aim, 5 years later I saw her smiley eyes in a night that changed my life. The very next morning I stood at the window and listened to this beautiful song for thousand times, yet I finally felt what it meant, I listened to my life in a song and I discovered that I am in love with that beautiful girl I saw the night before, fast forward 32 years that girl still my wife and I still feel the same feeling that I felt the morning after I saw her the first time. ABBA has impacted my life in the most beautiful way.<br><br>Today July 2nd, 2026 we celebrate our 32nd anniversary and the day after you came, it continues to be written, love is a gift that I cherish and never take for granted.....

It’s now 5th Jan 2026 and this is still a supreme ABBA production. The video, the storyline, the tune and Agnethas performance is music at its very best.

People don't realise it but this is truly one of the greatest masterpieces in modern pop music. No chorus, a double-beat that comes at intervals that feel right but you cannot put your finger on, an extremely mundane story that actually is so powerful from what it doesn't say. The feeling of sadness in the song, a contradiction given the implication it is about finding a new lover. There is so much it leaves you thinking about - just wonderful!

One of ABBA's greatest and most underrated singles. Agnetha's vocal is simply stunning and the video is just brilliant.

A total iconic masterpiece in music history. This song best describes what ABBA was going through as a group at this time and tells the whole story with just the beat. So sad considering this was their last song ever recorded together. It gives me chills knowing that Agnetha refused to sing this song unless the lights were dimmed in the studio and the air was just right. She even had a certain distance from the microphone during the recording. The fact she left the studio right after her last vocal in this song, not saying a word to anybody, and valuing to never go on stage again is haunting. Just makes this song ever so much more meaningful, beautiful, and powerful with how much heartbreak and talent that was involved in its creation. You can hear her heart through her voice. There is no music that comes close to ABBA. They are one of a kind, never to be duplicated again. Everything they did together was a success. And it still holds true today. I hope they never forget what they did for our industry and how much we love them. We miss you ABBA!

It made me conclude that our life is just a working day. No emotions, no love, there is literally nothing in it. It's just a boring every day.

ABBA's music gives me goosebumps every single time. Not many people may agree, but they're one of the best bands to have ever happened to mankind.

A musical masterpiece. Doesn't matter if you're into heavy metal to Mozart and everything in-between. This is just brilliant. The vocals and the story of a mundane day brought to life in this recording. And the background music. I'm no expert so probably a technical name for it but it's so understated but so brilliant at the same time. Just my opinion but i think this is the best Abba song by a country mile and possibly one of the all time greats. Love to hear your thoughts and if you agree or disagree.

Agnetha couldn't look more beautiful than she does in this video.
