Lyrics:
Half past twelve
and I’m watchin’ the late show
in my flat all alone
how I hate to spend
the evening on my own
autumn winds
blowin’ outside the window
as I look around the room
and it makes me so
depressed to see the gloom
there’s not a soul out there
no one to hear my prayer
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
won’t somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
take me through the darkness
to the break of the day
Movie stars
find the end of the rainbow
with a fortune to win
it’s so different from
the world I’m living in
tired of TV
I open the window
and I gaze into the night
but there’s nothing there to see
no one in sight
there’s not a soul out there
no one to hear my prayer
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
won’t somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
take me through the darkness
to the break of the day

Absolutely none. Why? Because we accepted the garbage coming out of music studios.

Sane thought
ABBA really should be the biggest band for all genres of music that have ever lived, absolutely insane how perfect they sound every time even live
ABBA, the GREATEST SuperGroup EVER. There will NEVER be another like them. The melodies, harmonies and sheer production of their songs will live for ever. I can listen to that keyboard riff a billion times, and it still gives me goosebumps.
Absolutely true
Beatles btw.
Queen btw.
Abba wasn't a supergroup, as was neither The Beatles nor Queen.
Three Dog Night, Chicago, there were some awesome hit machine groups in the 1970s.
One of the most iconic synth melodies ever created
THE most!

One thing I sm noticing is how Abba could mix deep and happy music together. That had to be why they were iconic.
Слово культовые вообще не имеет никакого смысла, они не культовые, а просто отличные музыканты, гениальные композиторы, аранжировщики, певцы, исполнители.
Making Music you love, with people you love is how you make a song timeless.
Your 100% right

Really nice to kill some demons with
just think of classical music vivaldi, mozart beethoven, etc..
Why does this song go so incredibly hard? The bass, the strings, it’s all perfection!
Swedish masterclass
Отличная аранжировка-хорошее качество записи.
The songwriting is so efficient and effective, so unpretentious, every member knows their role and lives up to the task, the lyrics are memorable and resonate to an existential struggle we all deal with during our lives, yet the melody is uplifting and positive about the future. It's just perfectly executed - somehow the stars aligned on this song, you can't "force" this amount of brilliance.
That’s just ABBA, mate!
The chord progression in this song is something so hard to achieve again, unbelievable!!!
One of the rare eternal songs!
This is one of those songs that can flood your brain with so many nostalgic memories

Eh...
They were not so popular with the kids abba were really uncool in the 70s but they weadled themselves into being amazing thank goodness. The turning point for me was does your mother know/kisses of fire.. now it’s ALL good 😌

yes timeles good music dont age
Thats the difference between good music and just commercial music these days, i mean today theres still good music but most of the songs today are feelingless everything its just programmed on computer , all beats are made by probabilitys to sell like its a freaking product they try to sell you
It will only need "today's" mix and master, and you will easily have one of top 5 song in charts

I'm here 2021🥰
Nothing but pure chills from the very beginning of this masterpiece!! ❤❤❤
All that I know is that back in the 1970s ABBA should have gotten a greater reception than what they received back then
Here in Europe they had a lot of critical voices(mainly UK/Sweden) back then but had a rapturous insistent approval by the record buying public that rushed in the shops and bought their records in phenomenal amounts.As Benny kinda said recently.'after some time we didn't care about bad reviews cause the next day we had again a no1 record all over' So people loved and time proved still do.i.e.This song is still a banger in 2024 and imagine this was recorded 45 years ago! and still kicks it.
A week ago this had 445m views.Now 3 millions more.Nothing more to say...
Timeless . Still as powerful as it was back then.
Yup. Timeless is the right word.
