Who is Fernando?
Don’t worry. I don’t have a boyfriend named “Fernando” but he’s name is humming in my head while I’m writing this. I’ve know someone who’s name is Fernando but we’re not that close. Not so close as Abba, the singers, who sung the song entitled “Fernando”. If you are a big fan of Abba, the lyrics that goes…
“They were closer now fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I’m not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry”

And, why the heck I could not get it off out of my head. The lyrics, the hum, the tune and the melody. I was not born during Abba’s claim for Stardom and popularity. But, their song lives. Until now, their music could turn my head into music. My lips uttering the lyrics.
The multi-million album seller- Abba, the Swedish-pop group released the song in the spring of 1976 and until now it coul still make the new generation appreciates their song.

Great article. Now, it makes me wonder, who is the “Fernando” that inspired ABBA to write that song…
