😑I'm always emotional when I try to analyze this song, because I personally perceive it as a song about the not-so-happy end of the idyll of these four people who (by a play of fate, a combination of circumstances) parted ways when they could have achieved the most.. 💋one of the most touching Abba ballads, with leading Frida(but also very underrated, there's not even a video - it's a shame, you should have found photomontages of their most touching pictures that exist on YT for this song - because this song also has certain autobiographical characteristics: in some sense it alludes to the last, unforgettable years (summers) of this group, so the photomontages correspond very emotionally to the narrative of this song) - published when both couples were about to break up and melancholy was felt at every step, because the end was surely in sight their joint collaborations (but due to the great success of this 1980 album, they stayed one more year to work together) The complexity of this piece of music, the long tones of the vocals (consciously in the style of loving heartbreaking ballads from the 50s and 60s), Mediterranean overtones with mandolins or similar sounds, a guitar solo with an inserted 🎹piano part (with tango notes 4:18) - these are just some of the details of this perfect track. Melancholy is normally present with them all the time, but since 1979, 80 - this has become prevalent: the beginnings of the stanza describe a love romance in an undisguised scope, but the key is the so-called transition in which doubt is hinted at and the sudden return from those idyllic dreams to the gray reality and problems that come with time - and at the end: 💔everything explodes in Frida and Agnetha's outpouring of emotions🔉🔊 in the chorus.. (Bjorn wrote lyrics from his past, but it is also characteristic here that he repeated his emotional experience from 'My love, my life' 1976 - which in the original version (Monsieur, monsieur) had exactly these motifs from Paris and walks by the river - but in the final version of that recording, they were removed for some reason)
This song has it all: compelling harmonies, drama, romance, melancholy, sense of fate, humour, a heavy guitar solo, twists and turns like in a roller-coaster and... sung perfectly. IMO the very best ABBA song there is.
Speechless .. just tears... love u frida...abba 4ever 😢❤

Bjorn’s recollections of a short Parisian summer romance when he was 17. Nice song.
The 'non official' Paris anthem 😊.
Frida❤ leading. Very singable piece.👌
Take care, Lil mann ✌️
Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍
One of their most beautiful later tracks from a fantastic album.
Dantastic song, Frida incredible as always, so nostalgic but not sad... One of my farorites from Super Trouper
🎶💃🎶❤️🇸🇪
I love you react to more unknown songs of ABBA.
This song is featured in the last Thor movie with Natalie Portman and Hemsworth. Frida's voice is just like velvet ❤
Another AMAZING ABBA Song ❤❤
This is one of my favorite ABBA songs!!
Agnetha has said this is her favourite song that Frida sang and That Frida's vocals on this song were her best
Love this song - I always see it as a precursor to "I Let The Music Speak" on The Visitors.
Exactly, would have fit into The Visitors Album.
!😀Lovely tune!
Popmusic in its perfection. Like they have done it several times. If i had to choose only ONE favourite ABBA song, it would be "Our last summer".
So good, Fridas voice give you chill.
React to The Piper also included in the Super Trouper Album
Never pause during a guitar solo that’s the rule 😂
