Songs of the North
Imagine that there is a mine somewhere in the world. Let's say this mine is in Sweden. Now imagine that instead of coal or gold or uranium, pure sunshine had solidified and could be mined. This "sunshine ore" could then be processed into audio form, where it would last just a little over four minutes.
I have found this mine, and from this mine comes ABBA's "Take A Chance On Me". I could get into how its three-part structure of sing-along chorus, lullaby verse and dramatic bridge welded onto a complex yet glossy disco beat is a masterpiece, but who am I kidding? This is like being hooked up to an IV of happy.
Let it be known that other minerals found in this mine include Ace of Base, The Cardigans and The Shout Out Louds. I don't know what it is about those Swedes, but it's beautiful.
