馬上要去他們老家玩。今天放一首他們的歌。年輕人大概受不了這個,呵呵。。。湊合聽吧!瑞典也出了不少流行樂隊,ABBA算是出道最早的了,在世界英語歌壇上紅極一時,後續的還有 roxette 和 ace of base,也都相當成功!這首歌也出現在以abba歌曲為主線的電影媽媽咪呀mama mia裡面,梅里爾斯特里普和皮爾斯布拉斯南主演。故事內容倒是跟abba無關。

阿巴樂隊 ABBA:贏家通吃 THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL
同名電影
ABBA是瑞典的流行組合,成立於1972年。樂隊名稱來自於四名成員的姓名前字母的縮寫的組合,這兩男兩女在事業走上坡路時曾是兩對夫妻,在事業開始下坡時又分別勞燕分飛,是流行音樂史上著名的夫妻組合也是著名的離婚組合。ABBA於1982年解散。
ABBA 成員包括:
比約恩·奧瓦爾斯(Bjorn Ulvaeus,1945年4月25日生於
哥德堡)、
本尼·安德森(Benny Andersson,1946年12月16日生於
斯德哥爾摩)、
阿格妮莎·福斯克格(Agnetha Faltskog,1950年4月5日生於喬克平)、安妮-弗瑞德·林斯塔德(Anni-Frid Lyngstad,1945年11月15日生於挪威的
納爾維克)。在成立樂隊前,安妮和阿格妮莎已是
瑞典頗有名氣的獨唱演員,比約恩屬於Hootenanny演唱組,本尼是Hep Stars樂隊的成員。後來,本尼和安妮、比約恩和阿格妮莎分別結成夫妻,並用每個人名字的第一個字母組成ABBA樂隊。
應該說,在旋律方面,ABBA還是具有相當的天賦的,他(她)們有許多朗朗上口的曲目經過不同歌手的翻唱和不同音樂形式的改編,依舊散發著歷久彌新的魅力,這遠遠超出了一支普通流行組合娛樂大眾於一時的存在價值。特別是在歐洲和澳洲,ABBA熱經年不衰,甚至在樂隊解散后也依舊如此,
U2、Erasure都是樂隊的忠實樂迷,在演出和作品中都曾表達過他們對ABBA真誠的喜愛。1981年,作為優異的聲樂組合,ABBA在寶麗多(Polydor)旗下獲金留聲機獎,而這個獎項一般只是授予古典音樂家的。
歌詞
I don't want to talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
I don't want to talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
So the winner takes it all
And the the loser has to fall
Throw a dice, cold as ice
Way down here, someone dear
Takes it all, has to fall
It seems plain to me
