Instruments
There were piano,bass,violin,vocals,keyboard,drum and electric guitars. These instruments come in and out of the song. In the introduction it's just piano and the bass guitar, after this the drums start to come in along with the violin, electric guitar and a shaker. These instruments stay consistent all throughout the rest of the song.

Tempo
This song along with many other ABBA songs is upbeat and energetic. Right from the begging of the song it starts to build up to pop music. It also builds up tension with the bass guitar, once the tension has built up to its peak point it stays roughly as thick to the very end of the song.

Dynamics
The volume slowly builds up to verse 1 & then it varies tiny bits throughout the song. As the song starts to finish and the last chorus is being played the volume builds up quickly for the last 30 seconds of the song.

Effects
The piece of music has an effect used on the guitar and on the keyboard to make it sound different and add more effect and build up in the song.

Singer/Vocals
The singer has avery distinctive voice. she seems to put her anger and emotions into her voice to emphasise what she is saying more. The way she does this makes her voice seem more masculine sometimes especially towards the end. This song does have back-up singers which come in very now and then for a short phrase or sentence to change the dynamics of the song they also make the piece sound more feminine.

Solo's
The piano has the longest solo which is played at the very beginning of the song. There are not many other solo because for the rest of the piece there is always at least 2 instruments playing together at all times.

Song
This song is neither happy, sad or angry without the lyrics it seems to be more suspenseful and builds a lot of tension throughout the song. It also has a tinge of jazz. The song really relies on the lyrics for the emotion and meaning to the song. The music also has thicker texture when there is no vocals but as soon as the singing starts again the texture thins out.

Texture
The texture of the song is medium throughout the verse's and other parts of the song but the chorus' are thick with vocals and instruments.

Repeats
The song has a few repeated riffs played by the electric guitar, piano and the bass during the chorus is when these riffs are repeated the most.

Chord Patterns
The chords are the same throughout the verse's and the chorus. The chords vary from 'Am to E to Dm and F7'

High Point
the last chorus that is played in the last section is of the song is known as the high point of this song. It is detected to be the high point of this song as all the instruments get louder, the texture gets alot thicker and all the dynamos get louder but there is also build up of the instruments to lead to the final chorus or the high point of this song.
