History
"Eagle" was written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, with Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad sharing the lead vocals. The recording, which commenced on June 1, 1977, had the working titles of "High, High" and "The Eagle". Lyricist Ulvaeus was inspired by Richard Bach's novel Jonathan Livingston Seagull when he wrote the lyrics for this song. In later years, music critics have hailed "Eagle" as one of ABBA's more outstanding tracks in terms of lyrics, and there is some debate over whether the song is also a tribute to the Eagles, a group that was popular in the 1970s, or simply an ode to the freedom of flight that these birds of prey possess.

Reception "Eagle" was not a major success on the charts. One reason was that the song was already available on The Album, another was the limited release only in countries like Belgium (where it did top the charts), West Germany, France, Austria, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Australia. To make the song more radio-friendly it was heavily edited down from 5:51 to 4:25 by omitting an instrumental break and the third chorus. Australia and France even got an edit from the edit, with the song fading shortly after the second chorus making it last just 3:33, nearly 2:20 shorter than the album version. The single was promoted with a music video by Lasse Hallstrom, while an earlier, much more interesting video in terms of special effects was included as a part of ABBA: The Movie.

The single was released in May 1978 to fill the gap between the previous single, "Take a Chance on Me", and the next, a completely new track, eventually called "Summer Night City". The B-side of "Eagle", "Thank You for the Music", was later released as a single outright in a few countries after the group had disbanded, namely in the UK, where "Eagle" had not been released as a single. Take a Chance on Me is a song recorded in 1977 by Swedish pop group ABBA. It was the second single to be released from their fifth album, simply called The Album from 1977, and has appeared on numerous ABBA compilations, namely ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits. ...
