Song of the Day: The Winner Takes It All
Today’s song is The Winner Takes It All by ABBA.
This song is such a heartbreaking tale of loss.
I know that not everyone likes ABBA. I get that.
That said, I’m a fan of their work, so I’m going to showcase it.
The gods may throw a dice. Their minds as cold as ice.
And someone way down here loses someone dear.
Those lyrics are so full of emotion.
Those backing harmonies. That exceptional drumbeat (it really picks up).
That soft backing piano and the strings.
Just a satisfying song, even if it is rather glum.
