The famous hit “Thank You for the Music” is a song by the Swedish pop group ABBA written by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. It is not coincidence that Björn Ulvaeus is the new President of CISAC – the umbrella organisation representing authors’ societies – of which Sokoj is a member. A prolific writer of over 150 hit songs for ABBA and other performers, Ulvaeus is also one of the most vocal campaigners for the rights of authors and creators, bringing a deep understanding of the collective management of rights and the music industries in general. His mission at the helm of CISAC will be to secure stronger legal protection, fight for more just distribution of royalties, and improved conditions for creators across the music, audiovisual, visual arts, and other repertoires.
The ABBA’s song is a kind of the author’s gratitude to the music itself that pervades everything on this globe.

“Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing / Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing / Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty / Without a song or a dance, what are we? / So I say thank you for the music / For giving it to me.”

Listening to Nature, many hear music.

Simply, music has the power to embellish any place, make it more beautiful, richer, attractive to people who visit it. The Sokoj’s authors create music and produce a sublime work for which sublime thoughts, enormous gift, and a lot of knowledge are required.

Thank you for the music, thanks to all of you who gave it to us.
