    Dude, you just discovered one of the most genius bands ever to walk the face of this earth. Their music came from an era of optimism and possibilities, unlike the truly bizarre and uncertain future we face today. It was a simpler, happier time and their music reflects this, even though some of their songs, such as this one, are about sadness. But no matter what the lyrics are, their music is always uplifting. And Agnetha Faltskog can rightly stand alongside the likes of Karen Carpenter and Barbra Streisand for her vocal range, power and clarity. Beware; if you go down this rabbithole you will never want to leave. Congratulations to you for your latest discovery!

    Context for this song for you - Bjorn (Guitarist) and Agnetha (main vocals) were going through a Divorce at the time - not on day to day speaking terms but somehow still performing together. Bjorn apparently wrote this song while depressed and drunk about his feelings on the breakup. Its amazing that they could perform this together - there is a moment at 4.44 where he looks at her for a second, and I think you can feel his pain there.

    She and her x-husband (the guy just to the left of her playing the guitar) wrote the lyrics to that song and she sang it.

The harmonies in any ABBA song are a large part of what made them so popular.

    ‘Thank you for the music’ is another one of their songs where Agnetha(the blonde)’s beautiful voice is highlighted.

    When you say in your videos "I did not expect that!" I think it means the uniqueness of the voice connects with you...its a surprise because we get used to hearing voices that are similar or electronically processed.
    The honesty of the human voice is surprising in its power and ability to speak to the heart.

    Ah beautiful Agnetha, no one can escape the power of her enchanting face and voice lol, but Frida next to her also leads with her beauty and vocals, "Fernando", "Chiquitita", "Voulez Vous", "SOS", "Knowing me, Knowing You", their first hit "Waterloo", "Dancing Queen","Thank You For The Music", "Take a Chance On Me", just to name a few. ABBA is such an amazing group, sooo many hits lol you're in for a treat!

    • @ourliam4482

      @Codex7777 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      There are some duets but in many of their songs one sings the lead, whilst the other provides backing vocal. That's exactly what they did in this song. Agnetha on lead vocals, Frida (and Björn) on backing vocals. :)

    • @user-ky6vw5up9m
      @user-ky6vw5up9m 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Agnetha was default soprano , Frida was default Mezzo- soprano.
      When they played live, they sometimes switched the lead vocal If one had a cold or sore throat etc,

    • @Pulsar77
      @Pulsar77 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Abba always has amazing female vocals in their songs. They were huge in the 70's. I'm sure everyone is recommending Dancing Queen, SOS, The Name Of The Game, and Waterloo. Just to name a few of their awesome pop songs!

    ABBA were big all over the world throughout the 1970's. They are two Swedish couples Agnetha (the blond one), Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid (the brunette), The capitals of their names are: ABBA. Both women have extraordinary voices. Agnetha with the shining soprano and Anni-frid a bit deeper. Both voices harmonize wonderfully. Abba at their best are when the both are singing duets, in most of their worldwide hits. Abba are like Queen, they had more worldwide hits than fitting on one CD.
    Try their song "Chiquitita" next, starting with Agnetha, followed by duet vocals.

    • @TheZodiacz
      @TheZodiacz 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      They were indeed. They were so popular they even made a movie (ABBA-The Movie) in Australia. I doubt many people know about it, I don't think it was a classic, made quick to cash in on their popularity but I just checked and it's on youtube if anyone cares.

    💥What's truly incredible is their songs relate to their lives, their marriage, divorces etc.. ABBA's music will never die out because the music/lyrics come from their hearts.

  • @HankD13
    @HankD13 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Her recently ex husband, Bjorn (on guitar)wrote this with the other B in ABBA - Benny shortly after their divorce. Their songs and lyrics were incredibly complex and multi layered - very carefully crafted - and they are one of the greatest groups of all time because of it. There music remains current with the massive hit musical Mamma Mia! and now two blockbuster Hollywood movies.

    YES! ABBA!
    The name of the band is made up of the first initials of each band member. When they began, they were two married couples from Sweden.
    My suggestion:
    "S.O.S."
    "Knowing Me, Knowing You"
    "Fernando"
