ABBA

ABBA in Helsinki / Helsingissä / i Helsingfors - 1975 Marlo: look, if i had KNOWN ABBA had played at a little nightclub in töölö while i was living in helsinki, i think i would have stayed there all the time instead of spending 98% of my income on helsingin jäätelötehdas ice cream every night after work. i have so many regrets.

Back in Sweden, and everyday life. In Vallentuna, the two couples lived just minutes from each other. It was easy to find reasons to see each other for a while, bike over, enjoy a fika, write new songs. Björn: "Because we had all been in the music industry for so long, we knew that security was false. You would dare to live, at the most, one year in advance; after that, everything could be over. It all depended on whether or not you had the luck to get another hit out of yourself. We knew that there was something that was more important than songs, and that nothing was more important than that."
