Slipping through my fingers


"Slipping Through My Fingers" by ABBA is in the key of D major. The song was released in 1981 as part of their album "The Visitors." ABBA, a Swedish pop group, performed the song, and it was composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, two of the group's members. The song reflects on the fleeting nature of childhood, inspired by Ulvaeus' experience of watching his daughter grow up quickly. One notable trivia is that the track gained renewed popularity when it was featured in the 2008 movie "Mamma Mia!." The melody is nostalgic and tender, incorporating soft piano and gentle harmonies, capturing the bittersweet emotions of time passing.
