Agnetha Fältskog ( ABBA ) : Stand By My Side (1983) HQ

I love this uptempo number from 1983

Stand By My Side
Sometimes I feel we're still together
Only a touch away
Memories of you I still remember
Words that you used to say
Used to say

Stand by my side, I need you near me
Feeling you close to me
Stand by my side, I see things clearly
You're all I ever need
Spending the time we had together
Loving you more each day
It was strong
Getting so much stronger
Now we're both apart

Stand by my side
There's so many things
I must tell you
Now I must try
To change the position
And make you stay
Stand by my side
What else must I do
To convince you
Now I must try
Now I must try

Faced with another situation
We wouldn't be the same
Waiting for some communication
Feelings are bound to change
Bound to change

Stand by my side, I need you near me
Feeling you close to me
Stand by my side, I see things clearly
You're all I ever need
Spending the time we had together
Loving you more each day
It was strong
Getting so much stronger
Now we're both apart

Stand by my side
There's so many things
I must tell you
Now I must try
To change the position
And make you stay
Stand by my side
What else must I do
To convince you
Now I must try
Some other way
To make you change your

I just re-discovered this song the other day (thanks to Spotify). We had her solo album at home when I was a kid, but it disappeared somewhere and I more and less forgot all about it over the years. I loved it and especially this wonderful song. So haunting and touching! Should've been a bigger hit, I think.

I agree- should have been a huge single !!I finally got spotify too - amazing selection

Im like a kid at Christmas

Actually this song was written for Agnetha by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis also known as Oliver Onions. They have been a very successful pop group at that period. They met Abba at the same TV show in Germany and became friends. Agnetha told them that she was preparing a solo record and asked for a song.

They were very glad to accept the invitation and wrote this song for her. Lyric was actually written by somebody else. By the way in my opinion too this should have been a single.

I can't stop listening to this song, I think I reflect myself on every word from the lyrics...

[NathanielChristopher]

I think it'd be awesome if they did a remix of this song with contemporary instrumentals and background vocals.

just beautiful, aggie 4 ever

This beautifully sung song appears to have been overlooked by many. The uptemp melody is addictive and has more than a hint of that Scandanavian melancholy. God bless, Agnetha.
