Hoy (5 octubre) en 1979, Frida, Benny y Björn visitaron la Casa Blanca en Washington, donde se encontraron con la hija del presidente Amy Carter, que era una gran fan de Abba.
(Agnetha todavía no se encontraba bien debido al temerario vuelo Nueva York-Boston del 3 de octubre, que empezó bien peto luego el avión se vió en medio de una tormenta).

WHEN I'M 64
Es hoy / It's today
Audio "WHEN I'M 64", The Beatles:
When I get older, losing my hair
Many years from now,
Will you still be sending me a valentine,
birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to three,
Would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty four? Ooh
You'll be older too.
Ah, and if you say the word,
I could stay with you.
I could be handy mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside,
Sunday mornings, go for a ride.
Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty four?
Ev'ry summer we can rent a cottage
In the Isle of Wight if it's not too dear.
We shall scrimp and save.
Grandchildren on your knee;
Vera, Chuck and Dave.
Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say,
yours sincerely, wasting away.
Give me your answer, fill in a form,
Mine forevermore.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty four? Ho!

FRIDA'S "DJUPA ANDETAG" 30⁰
Djupa Andetag / Deep Breaths
it feels fitting to revisit one of her most poetic and introspective creations: Djupa andetag (Deep Breaths), released on 20/9/1996, which turns 30 today.
A return home
After more than a decade away from the studio, Frida re-emerged not with an international pop album, but with something far more intimate. Djupa andetag was sung entirely in Swedish, produced by Anders Glenmark, and released through Anderson Records, the label founded by ABBA’s legendary manager Stikkan Anderson’s daughter, Marie Ledin.
When the album arrived, it went straight to number one in Sweden — a testament to the love and anticipation that still surrounded Frida. But unlike the glittering days of pop fame, this was a quieter kind of success — rooted in maturity, nature, reflection, and the courage to breathe again.
An album of renewal
The album’s title, Djupa andetag - Deep Breaths, captures its essence perfectly — the act of pausing, inhaling, and reconnecting with life itself. Frida’s voice here is deep and resonant, filled with wisdom and grace. Every song feels like a conversation with herself, a meditation set to melody.
Three singles were released from the album:
• “Även en blomma” (Even a Flower) — a tender hymn to fragility and strength, and perhaps the most quintessentially “Frida” song ever recorded.
• “Ögonen” (The Eyes) — a cinematic ballad that blends sensuality with vulnerability.
• “Alla mina bästa år” (All My Best Years) — a radiant duet with Marie Fredriksson of Roxette, whose voice intertwined beautifully with Frida’s. Marie, who sadly left us in 2019, brought a soft intensity to the track that now feels almost sacred — two icons of Swedish music meeting in a moment of perfect harmony.
Between light and shadow
Djupa andetag was never about chart glory — it was about authenticity. Frida chose not to chase trends or global campaigns; she made a deeply Scandinavian album, full of forests, sky, and silence. Listeners who expected ABBA-style pop found something even more precious: stillness. It is an album to sit with, not dance to — a soundtrack for the inner landscape.
Though released only on CD and never on vinyl, Djupa andetag has endured. It remains available on major streaming services today, introducing new generations to the serenity of Frida’s later artistry.
A missed opportunity, and a lasting treasure
Around 2016, there were confirmed discussions with Marie Ledin about creating a deluxe or vinyl edition of Djupa andetag. Fans were thrilled by the prospect — a remastered celebration of this overlooked masterpiece. Sadly, those plans seem to have faded away, and no such release ever materialised.
Reflection
Djupa andetag feels more relevant than ever. It reminds us that the truest form of artistry is not found in volume or spectacle, but in honesty. It is a record about life after noise — the deep exhale that follows everything.
Frida, Thank you for the courage to pause, to reflect, and to remind us — through every song — that even a flower can bloom again.
