<blockquote>'''''In "Heart Songs", you mentioned ABBA.''''' <span style="color:#ff0000">''Rivers:</span> They really are one of the all time greatest bands.'' <span style="color:#ff0000">''Brian:</span> Isn't there an all girl group that covered ABBA songs that did quite well? Two guys two girls that were a lot of success and they were offered a lot of money to play but what is interesting they are opening an ABBA Museum with all their wardobes and paraphernalia and wanted to get your comments on video to put it in the museum so they can get people's opinions.'' <span style="color:#ff0000">''Rivers:</span> One of the first records I bought was an Abba record when I was 10 years old, which is why I mentioned them this song.'' | |||
'''''So it made an impact?''''' <span style="color:#ff0000">''Rivers:</span> Huge impact I just remember my brother and I jumping up and down running around the room singing along to SOS and Mama Mia. I was just in my dorm room in school and I got the idea to write the song I'm gonna write a song that lists all the music I remember listening to growing up and I very quickly scrawled it all out and it's kind of a personal thing you know there's probably some people cant relate to even in this band but I wanted to keep that song very personal and particular to me at least in those first two verses.'' | |||
