The Day Before You Came

The day before you came"

This song makes me a little teary, because it puts this incredible importance on the person in question (although cancer has been suggested by some fans?) , and how this mundane and structured life is just turned upside-down. I love the idea of the vast change that this turning point has on the character. I think also, I find the song quite intense because the vocals are so impressive. I think ABBA have always had that quality - the vocals were always a real tribute to their talent.
Either way, this is definitely my favourite ABBA track, perhaps because it has a lot of depth and raw emotion in it. God knows that happy music is a beautiful thing but I can't help being attracted to the more melancholy side of music.
I hope you enjoy the song - and also, that you enjoy the student video. It's not very well shot but you've still got to love student videos!
