A song that haunts me from the very first time I've heard it. I have always been attracted to the thought that Mr. Right or Ms. Right is just right around the corner, and by chance, they shall meet. It has a Nöel Coward approach of throwing the dice and seeing how life will come upon oneself. The beauty of it is the passiveness of the singer, noting her day, which is very average, and something experienced every day. Until the moment happens, and all of sudden the world changes. Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus go into the pathos and the dreaded counting of one's existence in a day that's normal but full of dread. An ABBA masterpiece.
