The Piper (ABBA song)

"The Piper" is a 1980 track off the Super Trouper album by Swedish pop group ABBA. The song is loosely based on the famous story of The Pied Piper of Hamelin. It is regarded by some ABBA fans as being very different from the more mainstream songs they had recorded until this time. In particular, the dark lyrics dealing with the seduction by fascistic leaders and a somewhat medieval sound (drums, flute, choral) are not seen in their earlier songs. It is also the only ABBA song where a part of the refrain is in Latin. The song has gained a small cult following among ABBA fans.

ABBA: Uncensored on the road explains the song "was also the flip side of the Super Trouper single".

From Abba to Mamma Mia!: The Official Book explains "After a two- week break in March for the concluding tour of Japan, by the end of April ABBA had completed the songs "Andante, Andante", "On And On And On", "Happy New Year", "Elaine" and "The Piper"."

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    The Piper

    by: Peter Sinfield

    Beneath the tinsel twilight skies
    A changeling child with cinnamon eyes
    Wends his way to a secret glade
    and plays his pipe in a serenade.
    In and out of the spectral trees
    Between the starlight burnished leaves,
    He strolls the speckled toadstool way
    to join th elfin court in play.
    The brown owl hoots upon the oak
    The foxes howl and the green frogs croak
    As through the wood to a marvelous moon
    He blows the notes of an elfin tune.
    Towards the moss-weed bridge he goes
    Where burble-pebble water flows,
    Across the meadow up the hill
