I'm adding this Post in several places on The Internet. Some ABBA Fans are saying that they wish Benny & Bjorn had 'Up-Dated' the ABBA Sound - for the New Single - but, I'd HATE it if it sounded like Lady GaGa, or Eminem! I like Songs with a lot going on in them - flutes, & multi tracked vocals etc..... MY POST..... Why would Benny & Bjorn WANT to change the ABBA Sound? I LOVE the New Single! Many people are already saying that it sounds like ABBA - and I agree! (Because that's 100% fine by me!). ABBA Fans/Pop Fans, if you want to hear the 'Radio Edit' of the new Benny & Bjorn Song, then 'Click On' the Link, & hear it played on the Ken Bruce/Zoe Ball Show on BBC Radio 2. Zoe played it this morning. It is 'Story of A Heart' by the Benny Andersson Band. Swedish Singer, Helen Sjoholm is the lead vocalist. Start Listening at 01:07:27 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00kmf79/Ken_Bruce_25_05_2009/ The Song is really 05:08 long, but there is clearly a shorter version for Radio. The longer version will be on the Album of the same name, & as an extra Track on the CD Single, no doubt. It sounds just like ABBA. Indeed, if it were actually by ABBA, it would stroll to No.1 in the UK, Ireland, & several other Countries. |

No doubt they'll rip us off by trying to sell us the "radio edit".
If the song is 5:08 long that is what we should get if we pay for it.
Radio edits should be just for radio.

Such a beautiful song - keeping the ABBA legacy alive even without Agnetha & Frida.  This will be HUGE on Radio 2. |

Here is the Swedish version of 'Story Of A Heart', on YouTube. Apparently, 'Sommaren Du Fick' means, 'The Summer I Had' - or 'The Summer I Got'. HOWEVER, in GERMAN, I'm pretty sure that 'Fick' means something rather 'rude'! THE LINK - TO THE SWEDISH VERSION www.youtube.com/watch?v=qACLRs0zn3Q The Swedish Single is the longer version - than the Edited one, that has been on UK Radio, in English. Notice at 3.10, that the Song has a very pretty, & slow 'Bridge' in it - that is NOT in the UK Radio version. However, I believe that the longer version - in English - is on the Album, outside Sweden - with only Sweden getting the Swedish version as a Bonus Track. Giving it 15 Tracks - to 14, for the Album outside Sweden. UK AIRPLAY - Radio 2 has added the Edited English version to its Playlist - its 'A' List. So, they like it - but, Radio One does not have it on even its 'C' List..... SINGLE RELEASE - I hear that 'Story Of A Heart' will NOT be a UK, (or Irish etc.), Single. It is just meant to promote the Album, on UK Radio. Anyhow, a Track need no longer be a Single - in UK Stores - to be a Hit. If enough people Download 'Story Of A Heart', as a Track from the Album, then it will get into the Singles Chart. |

This is great, but even though it is obviously written by Benny and Bjorn, without Agnetha and Frida it can never be ABBA.

Well, if Agnetha and Frida ever fancied a UK Top 10 Hit again - Single or Album -
they need only ask Benny & Bjorn to write & produce some Songs for them.
ABBA had 19 Top 10 UK Singles, & 9 UK No.1 Albums. On their own - since ABBA
- neither of the 2 Ladies has been in the UK Top 10 - with anything.
'Story Of A Heart' would easily have been a No.1, if it were ABBA's 'Come Back'
Single - even if Radio 1 had snubbed it.
