Move On
ABBA · ABBA: The Album [1977]
A voyager and a settler, they both have a distant goal
If I explore the heavens, or if I search inside
Well, it really doesn't matter as long as I can tell myself
I've always tried
Like a roller in the ocean, life is motion
Move on
Like a wind that's always blowing, life is flowing
Move on
Like the sunrise in the morning, life is dawning
Move on
How I treasure every minute
Being part of it, being in it
With the urge to move on
I've travelled every country, I've travelled in my mind
It seems we're on a journey, a trip through space and time
And somewhere lies the answer
To all the questions why
What really makes the difference
Between all dead and living things, the will to stay alive
Like a roller in the ocean
Life is motion
Move on
Like a wind that's always blowing
Life is flowing
Move on
Like the sunrise in the morning
Life is dawning
Move on
How I treasure every minute
Being part of it
Being in it
With the urge to move on
The morning breeze that ripples the surface of the sea
The crying of the seagulls that hover over me
I see it and I hear it
But how can I explain
The wonder of the moment
To be alive, to feel the sun that follows every rain
Like a roller in the ocean
Life is motion
Move on
Like a wind that's always blowing
Life is flowing
Move on
Like the sunrise in the morning
Life is dawning
Move on
How I treasure every minute
Being part of it
Being in it
With the urge to move on
Move On - ABBA
ABBA's "Move On" stands as a quintessential example of the Swedish group's late-period pop craftsmanship, blending lush orchestration with infectious dance rhythms. Released on their 1977 album, the track exemplifies the band's ability to craft anthems that balance melancholic lyrics with an upbeat, driving melody. The song features the distinctive vocal harmonies that defined their sound, showcasing Agnetha Fältskog and Benny Andersson's collaborative songwriting prowess. As a staple of their discography, it captures the essence of 1970s Euro-pop, serving as a bridge between their earlier romantic ballads and the more complex, theatrical productions of their final years. The recording remains a timeless song in their catalog, celebrated for its polished production and enduring appeal across generations of listeners.
