It’s sad to see that even after all these years, these poignant lyrics are still very much relevant. In the end, a new year is just a segment of time, which itself is a creation of men, and a happy new year is just a concept, not a plausible goal. That’s what the song is about, the absurdity of wishing a happy new year.

The Girls of the band hadn't such a happy life after all. Divorces, Dead of a child/husband and so on. And so also the songs of Voyage tell about the feelings of the members of Abba. Visitors is for me about living in a world full of pressure and fear. Happy new year is about a look in the past with sad feelings.

Didn’t know it was ABBA, but can confirm - I grew up listening to this song in our Vietnamese household around New Years, either just played on our stereo or in every show’s New Years special. Reply reply

There are a lot of Christmas songs but “Happy New Year” is really the only song I can quote when I think of New Year’s. This song is really rooted in every Lebanese person, even being the very first song to be played the moment the countdown is over at midnight.

Happy new year, happy new year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we don't we might as well lay down and die. You and I Edit: Auld Lang Syne, the song we traditionally play at midnight on New Year’s Eve, has a melancholy feel too, but with more of a positive spin:

If play the album Super Trouper exactly at 23:38:16, Happy New Year will start exactly at midnight. I know I'm late for this but I was surprised I did not find the calculation online yesterday. So here it is for anyone in the future who wants to have an excellent Happy New Year celebration. Happy 2023 everyone!
