I find this piece of music really interesting, even though the song is not in my top 10 from them the final result is IMO a really great song
You get to follow the development of a song from one of the earliest "working copies" to it's final result and even though the melody is the same throughout all the intermediate versions, the lyrics, starting with some "nonsense" just to be able to find the arrangement - my personal guess - transforming into some real lyrics and at the end you'll find a completely different story...
The arrangement also develops over the iterations. For better or for worse, I'm not sure which version I prefer most, but I believe the majority seem to find the final result, released with the Visitors album, is the best one
If any of you know of similar clips or releases, I'd love to hear of them cause I really do like this kind of "story telling" where you get to follow the musical work of an idea to a final product
ABBA - From a twinkling star to a passing angel

By the way, this track is available on the Deluxe version of the Visitors album (2012)
