“One Face in the Crowd” ABBA revisited

[Instrumental] [Intro] [square wave lead melody, pulse wave bass, noise-based percussion] [Main Theme] [staccato square wave lead with rapid arpeggios] [driving pulse wave bassline] [noise burst snare on beats 2 and 4] [Intro: Soft Female Harmonies] Ooh-ooh... Ooh-ooh... Among a thousand faces You’re the one I see [Verse 1] Another city, another room A silver mirror, a borrowed moon The hallway echoes, the night runs late I hear them calling—I make them wait I wear a smile and take my place A thousand lights, but I search one face The music rises, the curtains part And suddenly you’re inside my heart [Pre-Chorus] When the room begins to glow There is only one thing I need to know Are you there? Are you waiting? Are you somewhere close to me? [Chorus] One face in the crowd Turns all the noise into a song One face in the crowd Reminds me where my heart belongs When the whole room starts to sway And every voice is singing loud All the miles between us vanish When I see you in the crowd [Post-Chorus] Ooh, I see you Ooh, and I’m home Among a thousand faces I will never be alone [Verse 2] The cheers roll in like a rising sea They see the glitter—they don’t see me They think this road is a perfect dream But even diamonds lose their gleam Another flight, another name Another photograph inside a frame But through the blue and golden haze I find the warmth inside your gaze [Pre-Chorus] No empty room, no midnight train Could ever make me lonely again You are there You are waiting And your eyes are carrying me [Chorus] One face in the crowd Turns all the noise into a song One face in the crowd Reminds me where my heart belongs When the whole room starts to sway And every voice is singing loud All the miles between us vanish When I see you in the crowd [Instrumental Break] [Warm piano, soaring strings, melodic electric guitar] Ooh-ooh... I see you there Ooh-ooh... I know you care [Bridge: Emotional Build] If every light went dark tonight If every voice were gone I’d hear your heart across the silence Leading me back home No crown of stars, no stage so wide Could ever take your place The whole world disappears around me When I see your face [Final Chorus: Full Harmonies] One face in the crowd Makes every broken hour worthwhile One face in the crowd Can turn my tears into a smile When the whole room starts to sway And every voice is singing loud All the miles between us vanish When I see you in the crowd One face in the crowd Is all I ever need to find One face in the crowd The one that never leaves my mind Let the music carry on Let it reach beyond the clouds I can face another morning When I see you in the crowd [Final Post-Chorus] Ooh, I see you Ooh, and I’m home Among a thousand faces I will never be alone [Outro: Soft Female Vocal] Another city Another show But where you are Is where I’ll go Among a thousand faces You’re the one I know [Bridge] [pitch-sliding square wave lead] [bassline follows melodic shifts] [Outro] [repeating melodic motif] [final noise burst snare hit]
