I've long contented that one of the most poignant and memorable descriptions of how divorce ravages the self-confidence and spiritual balance of a person (usually the discarded wife) comes not from a sociology textbook or a think tank's position paper (as appropriate and correct as those may be), but rather from this plaintive rock song from the Swedish super-group ABBA .

As Abba Sayah tells it, after forty days of resurrection appearances, Jesus knew it was time to leave his disciples – his mother, his brothers and sisters, his companions in the Way. It was hard to say goodbye, but he knew that the time had come....
... on earth does this have to do with “Dancing Queen”? The song turns on a similar effect. Of all ABBA’s twenty or so hit singles this is the only one with no first-person content - none of the “I” or “me” or “us” that populate almost all their records.

Though the words might sound ominous, for a musical traveler such a phrase — from a record by the Stockholm indie-rock band Shout Out Louds — serves as a warm welcome. Years ago, Sweden was probably best-known for the saccharine pop of groups like Roxette, Ace of Base and Abba.
