Obsessed

I am currently obsessed with this ABBA song, sung here by Sissel (the first 3:40 on this video). Heard it on the Mo-Tab Christmas CD we got from our bishop this year and I have listened to it about 10 times already.

You may best appreciate the vocal crescendos in your car as you drive slowly through the falling snow in the dark (what I did last night).

I also like blasting Mannheim Steamroller. So sue me.

Did you know Mannheim's from here? Yes, Omaha Nebraska. We feel we are on a first name basis - no need for "Steemroller." I grew up on them and I too blast it during this time of year. Unfortunately, other events have put us on the map lately - so bizaar. How on earth do you spell bizaar? anyone?

I went to that Mo-Tab/Sissel concert last year..Sissel is amazing. I went out and bought the CD and DVD and its all I listen to at work :) I also love the Norweigian song "Mitt Hjerte Alltid Vanker". Happy listening!

Which is often confused with bazaar the noun, as in a shop or marketplace where a variety of goods are sold.

Eliza,

I am so glad you liked the CD! My favorite song was also Like an Angel Passing through my Room. Sister Roberta Childs told me it was her favorite as well.

I tell everyone I give the CD to to be sure to listen to track 11 but I didnt know it was an ABBA song so thank you for informing me and for sharing the video of its performance.

Merry Christmas!

Marcus

exactly what cd is it? I use iTunes and am wondering if it's on there.

Bishop Faust just left a comment on my blog, everybody! How did that happen? I think I have arrived. Welcome bishop.

Sarah the CD is "Spirit of the Season" by Mo-Tab.

Go Eliza! That song was beautiful!

I loved that your Bishop signed Marcus and not Bishop.

Is that really an ABBA song? Have I ever heard the original? Excuse me, I need to go to iTunes now.

Eliza said...

It is, in fact, an ABBA song. Check it out. Annifrid (I have no idea how to spell her name!) with a clock ticking in the background. Very nice.

It is so beautiful! I will need to secure myself a copy as well! I've listened to it twice already without leaving your blog!
