Glimmerings of ABBA

Emerging global fantasies turned blonde for me in ‘seventy-six. Bjorn, Benny and the flikas sailed the radio waves from East to West. Santa Lucia’s crowning princess never shone so blessed on midnight fjords as she did in my own Eurovision-mix.

Perfect pop intensifies the longing for that feminine fix. Cassette wheels whirred - first branding, finally impressing deep grooves upon the brain; my pre-pubescent thrall confessing helpless love for Nordic light (in thumping Disco metrics).

The names (still humming) strike flames, and kindle bright renown: “Bang a Boomerang”, “SOS”, “I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do” — and will forevermore. Those Viking visages sacked and razed a quiet little harbor town.

Frida Lyngstad, Agnetha Fältskog — your longships linger where syllables flicker, portaging hope to every shipwrecked singer Revealing smiles in evergreens and helping us reach our further shore.
