WOW! I've heard many renditions of this song that very much so resonates in me... this is the one that hits deepest. No hysterics. No pleading. No hope. Just an explanation of the truth for the one who's lost. I'm gutted. Thank you. 💛
Oh my goodness, I've loved this song for 40 years and without a doubt your version, and there must be thousands, is only surpassed by the mighty ABBA themselves. Love it, well done.
I was on IG earlier today and saw 1 artist singing this one, but I thought to myself, why not look for an acoustic version because I really do love this song! I grew up listening to this, along with my cousins...Loved ABBA's, loved Meryl Streep's as well but I just don't know, when I heard yours, there's something extra special about your cover so I played this multiple times!💜 I'm very particular when it comes to the sound itself, so there's that! (Just want to share the story how I discover your channel!☺️ Thanks for sharing your amazing talent!👏👏👏
❤😂🎉 OMG, Sir, how you sung this song...So much emotion, passion and simplicity. You have achieved the spirit of ABBA. I have loved them for 50 years. I went to Stockholm ,June 2024 to celebrate ABBA 50. Gracious greetings from coastal Mississippi 👋🤠🐻🧔
I don't wanna talk About things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history I've played all my cards And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play The winner takes it all The loser's standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all (takes it all) The loser has to fall (has to fall) It's simple and it's plain (it's so plain) Why should I complain? (Why complain?) But tell me, does she kiss Like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same When she calls your name? Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say? Rules must be obeyed The judges will decide (will decide) The likes of me abide (me abide) Spectators of the show (of the show) Always staying low (staying low) The game is on again (on again) A lover or a friend (or a friend) A big thing or a small (big or small) The winner takes it all (takes it all) I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand You've come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see The winner takes it all The winner takes it all So the winner takes it all And the loser has to fall Throw the dice, cold as ice Way down here, someone dear Takes it all, has to fall And it's plain, why complain?
Just perfect performance of ABBA's masterpiece! Just loooooooove your voice, sir. Sooooooooo feelings in your singing, almost one can touch them! Looooove it ! ! ! RESPECT 🙏🙏🙏
That is beautiful. This song is not only about "singing" a tune but rather all the feelings that come with it. And I think that is why it so special. People (men and women) try to do better than the unique version from Agnetha Fältskog. And it is true that she is unique. Your interpretation shows that you nail this song. I wonder how difficult it must have been. Bravo!
Você conseguiu fazer o que muitos não fizeram transmitir um sentimento incrível nessa linda canção. Grato por você ter compartilhado conosco essa interpretação incrível deste clássico do abba❤
@@RisingSayence Thank you for the generous offer, but I actually already have a logo that my friend made a few years back. I use it sometimes when I release something on Spotify, but sometimes I get lazy and skip it cause it's easier. :) So I honestly don't think I am in need of another one. But I appreciate you asking!
Just subscribed to you channel. I love this version of this precious song. I was looking to this song, today but, and I did many times in the past, but this is the first time that shows me your version. I am glad I found your channel.
😍😍😍 Has hecho magnífica esta preciosa canción!!! La has hecho muy tuya, me encanta!!! Gracias por regalarnos tu talento!!! Un abrazo y que tengas una bendecida semana!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🌈🌈🌈🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷❤️❤️❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Of the covers of the song, this is at this time, the second-best version of the song I've happened to hear. You did change up the lyrics to reflect the singer (a male) rather than female, which was good. I think the song would have been better without the xylophone. Great emotion.
Wow… i am a Hugh Abba fan and i generally disliked cover versions of my favourite band. But this version is just so pure, honest, heart-touching and sad. Well done!

Thanks so much for those kind words.
Speechless... such a soulful and profound performance.
Just letting you know it is on Spotify now if you are interested: open.spotify.com/track/6eEjx4RmkDXMzuPRvD8uaR?si=ciQFxymuSVmi6-4-QAtvbQ
So much emotional...Thank you Martin for your great talent !
My all-time favorite song... lovely version
Thank you, Iris! 🙏

I don't wanna talk
About things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all (takes it all)
The loser has to fall (has to fall)
It's simple and it's plain (it's so plain)
Why should I complain? (Why complain?)
But tell me, does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say?
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide (will decide)
The likes of me abide (me abide)
Spectators of the show (of the show)
Always staying low (staying low)
The game is on again (on again)
A lover or a friend (or a friend)
A big thing or a small (big or small)
The winner takes it all (takes it all)
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
So the winner takes it all
And the loser has to fall
Throw the dice, cold as ice
Way down here, someone dear
Takes it all, has to fall
And it's plain, why complain?
wow the voice and finger pic one of the best
Thank you very much! ❤️
I'm millennial but id really love listening old songs. cheers i like your version very sweet Godbless... try more videos pleaseee...

Melhor versao que ja vi dessa musica. Se puder colocar ou fazer um video com a tablatura, achei muito lindo esse arranjo.
Thank you! Sorry but I only play by ear, so I am not good with music theory. The chords are the same as original though, if that helps?
