Recorded after ABBA split up, Benny wrote this song in
collaboration with his brother-in-law who is the lyricist Mats
Norlkit.Also known by its
Scandinavian title "Efter Regnet", it has been possibly influenced by the Nordic
environment, with the music being a celebration of a shower of rain and
then the welcome sight of the returning sun.It first appeared on Benny Andersson's 1987 album Klinga
Meiner Klockor and was more recently recorded by Anne Sofie von Otter on
her I Let the Music Speak, which is a Benny Andersson tribute album.
