Back to the Eighties: The Winner Takes It All


Original video located here. Accessed 30th December 2022

Song title: The Winner Takes it All

Artist: ABBA

Year: 1980

Why I like this song:

Proving my hypothesis that the 80s were a fertile period for break up songs we come to the mother of all break up songs.

It may be easy to dismiss ABBA for producing 'silly pop songs' but personally? When they decide to get serious, it makes one sit up and take notice. So yeah, it's my favourite of ABBA's catalogue purely because it is both relatable and quite he emotional rollercoaster, coming from a band you wouldn't think had it in them.

Favourite line: "And I understand / You've come to shake my hand.."
