Interesanti
Šobrīd veicu retrospektīvu muzikālu ceļojumu laikā. Klausos visus zviedru grupas ABBA albumus hronoloģiskā secībā. Secinājums ir tieši tāds, kādu es biju jau iedomājies – šīs grupas muzikālais potenciāls un veikums bija tik liels, ka tīri vai žēl to dažu gabalu, manuprāt, no šodienas viedokļa ne pašu interesantāko, kas allaž tiek spēlēti radiostacijās. ABBAs agrīnajos albumos ir gana daudz eksperimentālas mūzikas – regejs un pat kas rokam līdzīgs, nu, pieņemsim, ne gluži rokam, bet glitter rock (a la SWEET). Toties ABBAs 1977. gada albumā, kas tā arī saucas – The Album, atradu skaistu dziesmu, kuras teksts mani nez kāpēc paņēma.

ABBA “Move On”
They say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul
A voyager and a settler, they both have a distant goal
If I explore the heavens, or if I search inside
Well, it really doesn’t matter as long as I can tell myself
I’ve always tried
Like a roller in the ocean, life is motion
Move on
Like a wind that’s always blowing, life is flowing
Move on
Like the sunrise in the morning, life is dawning
Move on
How I treasure every minute
Being part of it, being in it
With the urge to move on
I’ve travelled every country, I’ve travelled in my mind
It seems we’re on a journey, a trip through space and time
And somewhere lies the answer
To all the questions “why?”
What really makes the difference
Between all dead and living things, the will to stay alive
Like a roller in the ocean
Life is motion
Move on
Like a wind that’s always blowing
Life is flowing
Move on
Like the sunrise in the morning
Life is dawning
Move on
How I treasure every minute
Being part of it
Being in it
With the urge to move on
The morning breeze that ripples the surface of the sea
The crying of the seagulls that hover over me
I see it and I hear it
But how can I explain
The wonder of the moment
To be alive, to feel the sun that follows every rain
Like a roller in the ocean
Life is motion
Move on
Like a wind that’s always blowing
Life is flowing
Move on
Like the sunrise in the morning
Life is dawning
Move on
How I treasure every minute
Being part of it
Being in it
With the urge to move on
