Thanks for all your views and ratings and fine comments!



DISILLUSION (Agnetha Fältskog/Björn Ulvaeus)
Changing, moving, in a circle
I can see your face in all of my dreams
Smiling, laughing, from the shadows
When I hear your voice I know what it means
I know it doesn't matter just how hard I try
You're all the reason for my life
Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me

How can I forget you when my world is breaking down
You're all I had, you're all I want
Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have

Wishing, hoping, chasing shadows
Did I see your face somewhere in the crowd
Thinking, wondering, what you're doing
I can stop myself from crying out loud
They say my wound will heal and only leave a scar
But then, they'd never shared our love
Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me

How can I forget you when my world is breaking down
You're all I had, you're all I want
Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have
Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have

This for me was the stand-out song from the Ring Ring album. I ordered this album along with 'Lycka' from the ABBA Fan Club when I was a child. I used to dance around the playground at school singing "Hej Gamle Man" ! ...but I loved "Disillusion" back then and played it over and over, I loved it then and still love it now. -- Thanks for the upload.

@Torkgasmicgirl8

Thank you for sharing ...

I only discovered these songs a few years ago and was blown away

Dont think I ever heard it on Irish or UK radio which is a crime !!

The face and the voice of an angel! Such a soulful song and lyric, in light of what happened in 1979. Agnetha hasn't been the same since.  Thanks 2Shaymcn for sharing!

She wrote so many very good songs. And for me her voice is "the voice"! In combination with Frida it was the abba-magic. But her voice always has had something "unforgetable" and shows the great talent of this beautiful Abba member. I always wished she has made a composition with Benny! Thank you for you great talent, beautiful Agnetha!

[TheStallion1964]

Is that not the most amazingly beautiful voice the world has ever seen?

[subzero8688]

This song is a piece of my soul !

[Carolleke1000]

Agnetha is the best female singer ever.... the way she feels the lyrics she's singing, it's almost like you live through it yourself..I've always been an ABBA fan, bur mostly for Agnetha....

One of the most under rated and under appreciated songs in music history.

They say my wound will heal and only leave a scar....

[FILMANLAND]

I agree with you. It is the true sound of Abba

[FILMANLAND]

Agnetha has the voice of an angel

[Deltamaster1965]

How can anyone after Abba say,the Swedish people are cold and emotionless ?
