I didn\u2019t actually say that \u2018this is it\u2019 in 1982. I never said myself that ABBA was never going to happen again. But I can tell you now: This is it.\u201d He added that this decision has nothing to do with any personal issues, which were all in the past. \u201cWe\u2019ve been seeing each other through the years, meeting for this and that. We are friends. I mean, Bjorn and Agnetha have kids and grandkids together, so they have to be on speaking terms! I\u2019m friends with Frida, too, so no problems there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Bjorn Ulvaeus said, they very much enjoyed working together again. \u201cIt was just fun, really, to try and see if we could do something,\u201d he explained. \u201cI think everyone was completely aware that if what we did was not up to the standard that we all wanted, we would just forget about it. There was no pressure in that respect.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that he and Andersson had deliberately ignored outside influences when they started the writing process around 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe decided early on that we\u2019re not going to look at anything else,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re just going to do the songs, the best songs we can right now. That meant writing lyrics I could get some of my thoughts of these past 40 years into and add some kind of depth that, hopefully, comes with age, and that makes it different from the lyrics I wrote 40 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andersson noted that the original plan was to write just two songs for a project they later abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cIf we had gone out on the road, we would have had a couple of new songs \u2013 everyone has,\u201d he said. \u201cOnce we got started, that really got me cooking \u2013 you know, maybe we can do a couple of others, work on things that have been around for a long time, not knowing what to do with them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/abba-no-more-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> ultimateclassicrock.com <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABBA\u2019s Benny Andersson said the\u00a0group won&#8217;t make any more music after completing its comeback album\u00a0Voyage.
