Cool performance here from ABBA In Japan I tried to get a little closer to the action here by zooming in a bit !! It was the first track on the group's fifth album, simply titled The Album and the longest track they ever recorded (at 5:51, 1 second longer than "The Day Before You Came" at 5:50). It was released only in a limited number of territories with "Thank You for the Music" as the B-side The recording, which commenced on June 1, 1977, had the working titles of "High, High" and "The Eagle". Lyricist Ulvaeus was inspired by Richard Bach's novel Jonathan Livingston Seagull when he wrote the lyrics for this song -wikipedia They came flying from far away, now I'm under their spell I love hearing the stories that they tell They've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons They speak strangely but I understand And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can spread my wingsFlying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly wing to wing I have questions and they know everything There's no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and higher Am I dreaming or is it all real? Is it true I'm an eagle? Is it true I can spread my wings? Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (What a feeling) Over mountains <b>...</b>
