ABBA NEW SONG Don't Shut Me Down

Ahh... that's 39 years and 11 months since Agnetha, Anni-Frid, Benny and Björn released The Visitors. How old were you, then. Sorry, not sorry...somewhere in the stars! Yes, that was the last time ABBA release their last song.

They, ABBA, are coming together again after 40 years. And, it is epic! 

 - ABBA Song Lyrics - 

"Don't Shut Me Down"

A while ago I heard the sound of children's laughter

Now it's quiet, so I guess they left the park

This wooden bench is getting harder by the hour

The sun is going down, it's getting dark

I realize I'm cold

The rain begins to pour

As I watch the windows on the second floor

The lights are on, it's time to go

It's time at last to let him know

I believe it would be fair to say

You look bewildered

And you wonder why I'm here today

And so you should, I would

When I left I felt I'd had enough

But in the shape and form I appear now

I have learned to cope

And love and hope is why I am here now

And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah

I'm fired up, don't shut me down

I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded

I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down

I'm not the one you knew

I'm now and then combined

And I'm asking you to have an open mind

I'm not the same this time around

I'm fired up, don't shut me down

Will you leave me standing in the hall

Or let me enter?

The apartment hasn't changed at all

I got to say I'm glad

Once these rooms were witness to our love

My tantrums and increasing frustration

But I go from mad

To not so bad in my transformation

And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah

I'm fired up, don't shut me down

I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded

I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down

I'm not the one you knew

I'm now and then combined

And I'm asking you to have an open mind now

I'm not the same this time around

I'm fired up, don't shut me down

You asked me not to leave

Well, here I am again

And I love you still and so I won't pretend

I have learned to cope

And love and hope is why I am here now

When is Facebook changing its name to Meta - Facebook Metaverse

 Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook will change to Meta. He said the company's apps and online platforms such as WhatsApp and Instagram, will not change. However, there is an obvious difference between the Facebook logo and the logo of the proposed company, the same as those of the other apps, unsurprisingly.

So when is Facebook changing its name to Meta?

In the V/R conference on Thursday 28 October 2021, Mark Zuckerberg revealed Facebook's new name to go in line with its virtual-reality vision for the future. 

Meta is helping to build a 3D virtual reality environment where users can connect with other users in real time. 

Ominously, Meta means 'dead' in Hebrew and many Hebrew speakers are questioning the name.

To reflect who we are and what we hope to build I am proud to announce that starting today (Thursday 28th Dec 2021) our company is now Meta. 

Our mission remains the same it's still about bringing people together with our apps and their brands. They're not changing either and we are still the company that designs technology around people but now we have a new north star to help bring the metaverse to life.

So let's start by exploring what different kinds of metaverse experiences could feel like starting with the most important experience of all connecting with people

Imagine you put on your glasses or headset and you're instantly in your home space it has parts of your physical home recreated virtually. It has things that are only possible virtually and it has an incredibly inspiring view of whatever you find most beautiful.
