Eagle is my second favourite ABBA song (after Chiquitita). I'm primarily a guitar man (rather than a keys man) and the guitar playing in the final third is glorious. Not a guitar solo in the conventional sense. But a layered texture on top of the synths. 💥

Great reaction Brandon! I still distinctly remember my parents playing this on our turntable at home (I think I was like 3 or 4!) and I was totally engrossed in the sounds/singing - it's almost a trippy song - bit of an eerie feel. They loved ABBA, and so do I. I still spin this one from time to time. My kids, like me, experienced the beauty & awesomeness of ABBA at a very young age, and they too love their songs! Cheers.

As a lifelong ABBA fan i gotta say that they never really bored us as they progressed and their expanding creativity always toyed with diversity apart from their main pop-folk music ground.This majestic song is like a spiritual symphony and a fabulous ,triumpant production for something that was recorded back in 1977.Still not so so many would believe this was made 46! years back.Could have easily been a today's release and even fit a soundtrack perfectly.

They came flying from far away Now I'm under their spell I love hearing the stories that they tell They've seen places beyond my land And they've found new horizons They speak strangely but I understand And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can spread my wings Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please As all good friends, we talk all night And we fly wing to wing I have questions and they know everything There's no limit to what I feel We climb higher and higher Am I dreaming, or is it all real? Is it true I'm an eagle? Is it true I can spread my wings? Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (what a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can spread my wings Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (what a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas High, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (what a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please

A small musical "ABBA revolution" when I heard this for the first time. I experienced it again with The Visitors/title track in 1981, which anticipated the 80s sound and unfortunately only much later brought ABBA the praise it deserved from some big artists. Both are in the Voyage concerts today and were never musically representative of the respective album as opener. ABBA's trademark was musical diversity, always with an element of surprise. The disco phase was not appreciated by some fans. Only Blancmange, Erasure, Madonna, The Fuggee and the young Internet generations triggered a new wave of ABBA, so that today Gimme ..., Voulez-Vous, Lay ..., Name ... are in the top 20 downloads.

I remember that as well: Eagle and The Album took ABBA in an unexpected direction, something that happened again with The Visitors, of which the title track was something quite new, for ABBA and the time. I wish they would have been more daring with the singles of The Visitors: One of Us and Head over Hills - there's nothing wrong with these tracks, but The Visitors and When All Is Said and Done, for instance, were far more innovative and interesting. I am so happy that both are included in the Voyage show in London, and The Visitors is even opening the show!
@ursgeiser6570
@ursgeiser6570 8 ай бұрын
When All Said And Done was an innovative catchy song (US top 20 hit), BUT it lacks an interesting musical middle part and/or 3rd verse (not just repeat 1 like in the 60s or now in London). I'll say it harshly: some songs by The Visitors and Voyage are as short as on their first three albums and don't convince me as musical compositions. I wish you a lot of fun with all kinds of good music.@@nielsulriksrensen9818

This is definitely in my top 5 favorite ABBA songs. If you like the vibe of this song, you need to listen to The Name of the Game, from the same album. It's unique in that it has one part of the song featuring Agnetha and another part featuring Frida and really showcases the different strengths of their voices.

"Eagle" (1977) It is the longest song of ABBA, almost six minutes It is the opening song of their fifth album, entitled "ABBA The Album" (1977), which coincides with the release and premiere of their film "ABBA The Movie" (1977), which records ABBA's memorable tour of Australia and throughout the ABBAmania "Eagle" was released as a single in a few countries, It's a shame it didn't get a chance to be the third single from "The Album" in the UK (following "The Name of the Game" and "Take a Chance with Me" which you'll hear already) "Eagle" Many associate it with progressive rock, and say that its sound is the closest thing to the style of Pink Floyd or other similar groups. others relate it as a tribute to the Eagles group others relate the lyrics to 'Juan Salvador Gaviota' which is absolutely clear that it is a song that you never get tired of listening to, its almost 6 minutes are absolutely rich, and the joint voices of Agnetha and Frida, armored together with the magic of the 'Third Voice', literally fly like eagles , just as the instrumental ending leaves us with that feeling of flying in the sky for many it is the best ABBA song in my opinion it is 9 points, absolutely brilliant... but there is more, and in this same album "Eagle" ABBA performed it in a television presentation in Germany 1978 (in a reduced version, together with another song from this album "Thank you for the music") and in the opening of their TV special in Japan 1978 and has a special filming in Stockholm for the movie "ABBA The Movie" (with Agnetha already pregnant, although it is hardly noticeable) and it is performed in their concerts of the 1979 Tour in North America and Europe ABBA made an official video for "Eagle", reduced to just over 3 minutes, without one of the choruses and the final instrumental part, for better dissemination in the media

Run straight down with Gilmour is an overlooked gem, a it of a banger and clever lyrics. Keep me in your heart was not long before he left us and is thus a sad song made sadder but beautiful.
