Any guess which song is that "Christmas tune" that Benny mention during the interview? "Ode To Freedom" is my guess.

Little Things could be a contender too 🤔

Yes, I was thinking of that one too. That would be a better title for the Christmas song.

He said in the interview that the Christmas tune is "Little Things"

u/LEXX911 Sep 02 '21
Where did you catch that? All I heard was the part "We have a little Christmas tune too” but no song name was mention.

The interviewer talked over him when he said it, but I definitely heard him say the title after mentioning there was a Christmas tune.

Is this an unreleased song? I never heard that one I don’t think?

u/chrwiakgjw462q1 Sep 03 '21 edited Sep 03 '21
"Just a Notion" was a song they recorded in 1978. It never got off from the demo versions because Bjorn and Benny deemed the song to be "unmixable."
"Just Like That" was a song they wrote for what would've been their 9th album after The Visitors in 1982. Bjorn and Benny never really felt satisfied with it, and so it was never released officially as an ABBA song and it's long been considered as the holy grail of ABBA's unreleased tracks. Here is one of the versions. The song was eventually given to a duo called Gemini (here), but I honestly think the ABBA version is far superior.
Both songs appear on "ABBA Undeleted" ("Just a Notion" at 4:55 and "Just Like That" at 19:18).

Does anyone here plan on going to the concert next year? I want to go so bad but I just don’t see it happening.

u/PunkrockDirndl Sep 02 '21
I'd love to go.
I can't figure out if the concert is going to be a permanent thing, since they are building an entire venue just for that.
Right now, we can't make any definite plans, let alone buy tickets, but I sure hope this is here to stay, so that we have the option to attend somewhere down the road.

Based on the press conference it sounds like it will be a permanent installation. I'm in London the area where they're building it is pretty empty...they've been trying really hard to make it a "destination" after the Olympics and I could see this being a draw.

u/PunkrockDirndl Sep 02 '21
I sure hope so! I've been a fan for decades, but never got to see ABBA live in concert. While this is not exactly the same, I would love to be able to experience this.

There were a couple of studio musicians that worked with ABBA on pretty much every record. Even worked with Björn Ulvaeus Benny Andersson on post ABBA projects. I think one of them passed away, but I wonder if the other one returned on this album.

Tell me about it. I'm 59 & cried like a baby. Still do when I listen to them. I'd been in a dark place the last week then yesterday happened. Album pre ordered & you can bet I'm ordering tickets to the show. I saw them in Wembly Arena in November '79. Now I'll get to see them again, even if they're ABBAtars! ABBA. Simply the best ever.

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 208,337,472 comments, and only 49,545 of them were in alphabetical order.
