The Rose d’Or is one of the most important international festivals in entertainment television. It was founded in Montreux (Switzerland) in 1961. The Festival concludes with an Awards Ceremony at which Golden Roses for the best television entertainment programmes of the year are presented.

The whole event was taped for TV broadcast over four evenings from 8-11 May 1985.  Agnetha appeared on the stage on 10 May 1985 (from 20:30) and she performed One Way Love in a purple and yellow outfit. Agnetha was also seen backstage waiting with her bodyguard before going on stage. She was joined onstage by ABBA guitarist Lasse Wellander, bass player Rutger Gunnarsson and drummer Per Lindvall.  Agnetha could be heard right at the very end of the fade-out clearly singing live over the backing track.

There are pictures of Agnetha wearing an orange outfit at this venue as well although it's generally felt that these are from the rehearsals/soundcheck at which she performed I Won't Let You Go.  Click here for another, and another and another!

A danish press release dated 3 July 1985 mentioned that the second single from Eyes of a Woman would be One Way Love and that Agnetha had just been to Montreux where she performed 3 songs - One Way Love, I Won't Let You Go and The Angels Cry. There is no futher evidence of The Angels Cry being performed but that doesn't mean it wasn't - as either a rehearsal song or for the broadcast but left out.

One Way Love
Jeff Lynne

One way love - it never sleeps, it just grows deeper
One way love - it pulls you in, it takes you down
And I wish I knew what I had to do
To get into your life, to get close to you
But, baby, it's a one way love.

One way love, if you could only see me as I see you
One way love, you'd feel the way I feel tonight
And I can't go on living other lives
Making other plans to keep the tears from my eyes
Oh, baby, it's a one way love.

So don't turn away, and don't say it's over
I'm falling like I never knew
And I can't pretend, for I keep remembering
Everything that we've been through.

One way love - it lives in shadows, cold and lonely
One way love - it lives alone, it breaks your heart
And I don't know how I can take the pain
Hurting over, and over, and over again
And, baby, it's a one way love.

So don't turn away, and don't say it's over
I'm falling like I never knew
And I can't pretend, for I keep remembering
Everything that we've been through
One way love.

Oh, baby, it's a one way love
And I can't go on living other lives
Making other plans to keep the tears from my eyes
And, baby, it's a one way love
One way love
It's a one way love
Mmm, one way love
A one way love
It's a one way love
Yeah, one way love
A one way love
It's a one way love
