“Knowing Me, Knowing You”, is the ABBA single from the album Arrival (1976). Charted #1 in UK and #14 in US.
This is a serious song by ABBA, probably a turning point in their career. You can see a definite transition in ABBA’s sound here as they are beginning to leave the Bubblegum behind and start touching on serious issues, such as divorce. One can’t help but wonder if there was a foreshadowing of the divorces that would end up splitting the group up just a short few years later.
This song also reached #1 in Ireland, Mexico, South Africa and West Germany.
Bjorn Ulvaeus a compus ‘Knowing Me Knowing You’ într-un moment când relațiile dintre membrii grupului erau deja reci și precare, iar versurile melodiie reflectă acest fapt. Melodia este definitorie pentru schimbarea de still a grupului: de la melodii ușoare, la melodii cu tematică mai serioasă, în acest caz divorțul. Probabil, a fost o premoniție la divorțurile lor, care au avut loc câțiva ani mai târziu.
Acest single a fost înregistrat în 1976 și lansat la 18 Februarie 1977, devening imediat un succes spectacular în Europa, ajungând pe locul 1 în UK, Irlanda, Germania. ‘Knowing Me Knowing You’ este una dintre cele mai admirate melodii ale grupului.
Versuri:
No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house
Tears in my eyes
This is where the story ends
This is goodbye
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
We just have to face it
This time we’re through
Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It’s the best I can do
Memories, good days, bad days
They’ll be with me always
In these old familiar rooms
Children would play
Now there’s only emptiness
Nothing to say
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
We just have to face it
This time we’re through
Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It’s the best I can do
