Gemini : When I Close My Eyes Tonight (Benny & Björn - ABBA) 2005

Wonderful, moving song from the pen of Benny & Björn, recorded in 1985 and was originally intended to be released on Gemini's self titled debut album ,also produced by B&B . It was not released until 2005 on a Best of compliation album
'Gemini - Det bästa med Karin och Anders Glenmark ' with a new backing track from Gemini

Gemini are a Swedish brother and sister duo, Karin and Anders Glenmark.
Most of the material on their debut was written by former ABBA members Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, who also came up the group's name. The rest was written by Anders and his songwriting partner at the time, Ingela Forsman.

The chorus... takes my breath... away. Brilliant song.

@ThePROTO1TYPE Yes!!!!

[mikaelscerr5]

i can already feel agnetha reach those high notes , obviously giving full projection of the marvellous vocal harmonisation by Frida's epic voice

[ThePROTO1TYPE]

I would really LOVE to hear the voices of Agnetha and Frida on this brilliant song. Gemini do a good interpreation but NOBODY could do it quite like ABBA!

[kingmarshmusic]

I must say, I've been slow to catch up with the Gemini recordings (I've just ordered the 2005 compilation album). This song works a treat - chorus is excellent!

[daffodil17]

The song is overwhelmingly beautiful

[SADL00KINM00N]

Just had to revisit your beautiful video and give this wonderful song a listen again Shay, I still get blown away by it. Amazing how good this tune really is!!

@2038165479 I agree...they should also realsed Cassandra and get on the carousel and slowly..but the split sadly.....they should also come back at least for one night and sing all there songs

[lingustica]

Superb song! Thumbs up - and hats off for Mr Andersson and Mr Ulvaeus!

If ABBA had recorded 'When I Close My Eyes' in 1983 for their 9th album this song would have returned them to the top of the charts all over the world and it would have been their 11th UK Number 1 ('Just Like That' would have been their 10th had it been released in 1982).
