#chiquitita ABBA

[caracolcondiarrea]

if you were alive in 2O21 (or at least had tik tok back then), there is no way you hear The song Chiquitita and not thinking immediately of Silenzio Bruno

I'm listening to ABBA again and that never means anything good for anyone

Imagine the Batfam all doing their own Bat Things in the cave, just existing in the same space. The kids convinced Bruce to play music over the speakers, he agreed only because he's doing work on the bat computer and therefore has ultimate control over the music.

Chiquitita comes on and Bruce swiftly moves his hand to change the song.

Dick: Ah, actually B, could we keep this song on? ABBA always makes me feel closer to my mom, and this in particular was one of her favorite songs.

Jason: Weird Dickie, ABBA was my mom's favorite band too.

Bruce: Hn. They were my mothers favorite too, that's why I was changing it.

Jason: Of course, Old Man, cant expect you to let yourself feel an emotion, after all, can you?

Tim: Not to interrupt your regularly scheduled make-fun-of-Batman enrichment time Jay, but ABBA was my mom's favorite too. She would play Money, Money, Money every time she got ready for any big business deal.

Duke: Okay, that's really weird? My parents danced to I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do at their wedding. 5 of our moms having the same favorite band is a wild ass coincidence.

Steph: 6 actually.... *narrows her eyes and looks around the room* Well, at least we don't have to worry about The Daughter of the Demon liking ABBA.

Damian: And to no one's surprise, Brown is confidently wrong once again. *dodges a thrown book* Mother never found ABBA as frivolous as other western music, for whatever reason.

Cass: I don't believe Lady Shiva has ever listened to music before so I think I'm out of this one.

Tim: Ahh, sorry Cass but Shiva did actually play music during our training at times, and ABBA was on heavy rotation.

Cass: :(

Bruce: Hnnnn

*music cuts out*

Barbara, over the speakers: Before any of you pull out some ridiculous conspiracy theory revolving around 80's Swedish Pop sensation ABBA, let me remind you that they are literally peak Mom Music. Moms love ABBA, it's not weird. It's hardly even a coincidence. I would be more surprised if your mothers DIDN'T listen to ABBA when you were growing up.

(Bruce is still compiling a file of possible ways ABBA could be used for evil.)

ABBA, Chiquitita

Billy can't listen to ABBA.

His mom liked ABBA, used to sing along to their songs in the kitchen when Neil wasn't home, with Billy at the kitchen table watching her and smiling and feeling so loved and safe.

Hearing their songs now remind him of that, and it hurts. So he can't listen to ABBA anymore.

This is true for one song in particular. One that his mother would sing in a low voice when she came in to comfort him, after Neil had gone on a rampage and hurt or scared either Billy's mom or Billy himself. She'd hold him, and she'd sing that song, and Billy would cry and hold onto her and wish he could just stay in her arms forever, where it was safe.

It was also the first song he played - volume turned down to almost nothing, while pressing his ear close to the speakers as to not be found out by his dad - after the first real beating Neil gave him, some time after Billy's mom left. Because if he couldn't have her sing it to him, then at least ABBA could.

But it only made him cry more. Because pressing up to the speaker was nothing like pressing into his mother's chest, and there were no arms around him or hand stroking his hair to make him feel safe.

So Billy can't listen to ABBA without crying. Especially not Chiquitita.

James Potter would definitely sing Chiquitita as he cooks food and dances around the kitchen, and that shit would bring or man Regulus Black to TEARS.

And from that moment on, James would sing it every time they cuddled when Reg felt sad.

[forgettable-au]

hi! just listened to "Slipping through my fingers" by ABBA and AYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO theis has so much forgettable au vibes!!!!! also it's such a great song!!! (i've never listened to ABBA before - except for "Mamma mia" 'cause my mom made me watch the movie when i was a kid - but now imma listen to more of their songs i think!)

EHEHEHEHE GLAD TO INTRODUCE YOU TO MORE ABBA SONGS

They're all so good oh my god

AND YEAH slipping through my fingers is devastating (for me at least) I love it so much and it reminds me of this AU a lot :>

[neurospiczzzziee]

I had to draw my head cannon again of Fizz serenading Blitzø with ABBA music after the whole full moon fiasco. These besties need to have a heart to heart sleep over. The emotion I wanted to capture is Blitzø sad, but Fizz is so ridiculous that it causes him to start laughing. He's sad and heartbroken, but also so happy to have his best friend back with him to cheer him up. For once in his life he doesn't feel so alone.

Chiquitita Lyrics

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong

You're enchained by your own sorrow

In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow

How I hate to see you like this

There is no way you can deny it

I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth

I'm a shoulder you can cry on

Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on

You were always sure of yourself

Now I see you've broken a feather

I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I know

How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving

You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end

You will have no time for grieving

Chiquitita, you and I cry

But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you

Let me hear you sing once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down

And your love's a blown out candle

All is gone and it seems too hard to handle

Chiquitita, tell me the truth

There is no way you can deny it

I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I know

How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving

You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end

You will have no time for grieving

Chiquitita, you and I cry

But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you

Let me hear you sing once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before

Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Forget Mama Mia. I’ll never listen to ABBA and not think of Steve Harrington.
