ABBA return hehe

The piano is the same than Dancing Queen

Listen again x 3.....it's amazing.

Just subscribed...have you ever listened to the Waterboys/...Whole of the Moon is the classic but also listen to I am the sea\.

I have waited for 40 years for them to return. They have been compagnions of my youth. Thanks for your review.

The Gods of pop returned to reclaim their throne. ❤

My first ever concert was ABBA. October 3, 1979. Boston MA. I heard them LIVE! They STILL sound AMAZING!!

I have watched so many first time listeners to this song and their reactions. Many get emotional and teary. The first time I heard it, I felt the same way. It was like ABBA never left us. Evoking that feeling of all is well again. For those who grew up in their younger years listening to them, the reaction is heart touching. I agree with those who hope more songs come from them. Gifting us with more of their kind of music may just start another generation of those who love this group. May ABBA live on beyond the norm.

HI DION, WHY ABBA WORKS SO WELL IS FUNDAMENTALLY YOU HAVE TWO GREAT FEMALE SINGERS AND THEN TWO SONG WRITERS WHO CREATE GREAT LYRICS.. BOTH OPENING SONGS ARE "EPIC" THANKYOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS - I AGREE WITH ALL YOU SAID.

Dear DionJohn, after more than one year now and living with the new songs of ABBA, this "Don't shut me down" is one of the songs that goes directly to my heart. That's the reason why I stil look videoa like yours with first time reactions. It reminds me when I heard it for the first time and I was in tears after a few seconds. You described it so well.... It's so unique and special and it was a gift for all of us who love the music of ABBA. As I am from germany I really wonder from time to time, because the material from "Voyage" is not so often played in the radio whih makes me wonder to be honest. They still stuck to the old material, which I do not understand... but anyway, your video was nice, I really love it! So have a good time and enjoy this "gift" as much as you can. I assume there won't be any more music of these fanatastic group. Take care / Frank

I love your reaction. I reacted the same. Sobbing. ❤❤

My favorite song on the album. I cried too.😏

I just had to say: so enjoyed your reaction to this - thanks for posting 🙂

Imagine what its like for a 58yo who was 12 when Abba hit the charts? AWESOME!!!!!!! "everyone loves ABBA"??? - back in my day i was persecuted and bullied for liking ABBA songs. Different times for sure now, and i hope those narrow-minded people have dragged their sorry homophobic asses into the new millennium.

ABBA’ness…. Perfect 👍, you’re reaction is great, I.m 20 years older than you and waited 40 years for this moment… worth the wait… I cried listening to the album

I love your review and totally agree with your opinion.

I LOVE your 4:10 expression that you momentarily are overwhelmed with emotion ! :) YES, the layers and layers of "ABBANESS" is why I soooo LOVE Don't Shut Me Down and I wish the entire album had the same formula as this song .... no, I don't mean that I had desired a cut, copy and paste, but the song's style and glorious harmony is what I have always most loved about ABBA!

Great reaction video! I, too, cried from the pure nostalgia I felt when hearing this song for the first time. I am 70 years old, 71 in June 2022, so I was in my early twenties when ABBA were popular. For that I feel fortunate. This is my favourite new ABBA song. Thank you so much for posting this.

Its Ricky Gervais!

The whole album is great, but this song is something really special. One of Abba's best, and that's saying something! 🙂 Enjoyed your video. This album really is a gift, all the more wonderful because it was so unexpected after 40 years.

And there’s still even more on Voyage!

No, I think you're accurate. If you were born in 1983 then Abba would indeed have been your parents generation. Now, I don't know how old your parents are; but let's say if they were born in the 1950's.

Get tickets for one of the concerts to be held in London at a facility that is being built just for those concerts starting May of 2022 and have the time of your life. You think those avatars are animation? No it's not, it's what's next, thanks to ABBA and Industrial Light and Magic.

Dion John it's good to see a guy tearing up over a emotional song, I dear up ever time I listen to this song ❤

You should react to ghost love score by nightwish Live at wacken. That will blow your socks off.

Storytelling old and dated? :\

Love your reaction! 😍

Abba !! Now we can forget covid!!

I love Abba so much!

Great reaction! loved it

When musik makes you happy. And forget trubles in the world for a few moment.

I was working as a lifeguard in 1974 when radio introduced their hit "Waterloo"... hearing them again brings a tear to my eye. Buckets of tears, actually.

It’s amazing how many people get very emotional when hearing this song for the first time. Me included !

Love your reaction. Feel the same! 🧡

Layers of Abbaness!! Yes!! Love you!!

Two things I never expected to see in this life; the global pandemic and Abba returning. You're absolutely right!

50 years ago… ABBA changed the world. Today, in 2021, ABBA has returned to change the world….AGAIN! These two songs ARE proof!!

Love your input.

Hey Dion - can you p[ease now check out this cover version from an incredible 18 year old Swedish fan - Emilia Sjoholm - who produced this cover (with video!) 3 days after it was released - th-cam.com/video/GdCsMIRsyrg/w-d-xo.html - and not surprisingly it got noticed and 200k views in 10 days. All us fans want to see Emilia encouraged to step up and grab the baton that is going to be passed to the Next Generation. Look at her channel, she is no one hit wonder - she already has an incredible range of covers and originals. Including Debbie Harry and Frank Sinatra! Those of us who have showed up on her channel to see what the fuss is about are totally blown away - and feel priviledged that we are seeing a new star being born - so please come along and share the moment. Emiliy plays guitar (various), keyboard, drums and does her own production. Emiliy could be a perfect way for ABBA to create a flesh legacy and not have to rely on pixels to close the 4 decade gap. Thanks!!

American here. Do you live in the Midlands? (Amateur linguist.) Or should I say London?

Seen quite a few reaction vids.....yours has become my most appreciated in your candor and genuine surprise; yet not surprised!! We know this sound; but don't know it yet......

The CD, when released, will be the first I've bought for over 20 years and I'll buy it on vinyl too if available. Sorry, but just too good for spotify, youtube and the rest! It deserves the old ceremony of actually playing music on designated media and a designated machine!

Nice to see Paddy McGuinness so connected emotionally here to ABBA 👍

iv listened to it dozens of times and iv never had a song thats made me cry every time!!! its sooooooo emotional!!!!!!

Sweden rules! I always say it. Swedes may be proud and I envy them.

ABBA CAME BACK TO TEACH HOW TO MAKE MUSIC ! Thank you....

So I’m watching your video again a week later. By now I’ve heard Dont Shut dozens of times and can honestly say it is in my top 5 of their all time tracks. It still makes me cry. They have not lost a thing.

👍👍👍

When you want to cry and dance laugh at the same time.❤
