Bjorn wrote the lyrics for this song when he and Agneta divorced. Took strength and courage for Agneta to even sing this song as it being so personal and performing with Bjorn. Between ABBA and The Carpenters....the two groups have helped me through the loves and pains of my life! Agneta and Karen Carpenter are two my all-time top vocalists!!!!
Thanks for the ABBA. Nobody pulls this stuff off like Agnetha. That Hurt/Sad/Lost little girl stuff is just in her DNA. Love it. Love you too Frida but for different types of songs. My two favorite female singers hands down.
In the 70s UK you had to do just that if you were a guy. Then we realised it wasn't all disco and we got to enjoy the real quality songs. If it makes me break down it's good.
A lot of Americans are closet ABBA fans. Not so much anymore, but prior to Mamma Mia's (musical/movie) success people simply didn't want to admit they liked ABBA. Sometimes I think it is the reason ABBA never really hit it big here in the states vs the rest of world. It may be due to the fact ABBA's fan base around the world consisted of little kids to full adults including seniors. Watch ABBA: the Movie (1977 tour of Australian cities) and you see the breadth of the fan base's ages at concerts.
@@AndyMagnusson70 I think I've heard that a lot Swedes were closeted fans. We should be open to any and all music. Music to me has/is an extremely important avenue for my emotions!
There's a lot of good singers of all geners: Barbra Streisand Gloria Gaynor Donna Summer Karen Carpenters Olivia Newton John but Agnetha Fälkstog is my favorite her voice, her feelings, her perfomance... absolutly amazing No one like She!
This is the song that made a young English boy find his first crush. Agnethas voice (and the fact she’s stunning) absolutely blew me away. Glad to say all these years later, nothing has changed. What a powerhouse!
I`ve been an Abba-fan since the -70`s. They made at least 100 fantastic songs, the voices of those two ladies are the most beautiful I have ever heard. Their music is like the soundtrack of my life. Their music has been there for me on my ups and downs through my life. I love this band. Thank you so much for reacting to them. Stay safe.
Back in the day when you could hear and understand every word they are singing, clear as crystal. ABBA never missed a hit; pretty much every single thing they recorded was Boom-hit! Boom-hit! Boom-hit!
Have loved this song since I was a kid and especially since I learned English and could understand those fantastically raw and honest lyrics. It is a sad song indeed but so beautiful and her great voice so expressive, strong and effortless at the same time ♥
ABBA is definitely one of my all-time favorite groups/bands, one of the pioneers of disco music whose sounds inspired many great groups later like Ace of Base and STEPS. Please react to a cover of ABBA's song "Money, Money, Money" by the band ReinXeed. You'll be amazed and amused, guaranteed. Thanks!!
ABBA didn't just do disco though. Money Money Money actually has a big of a cabaret feel, their film/video director thought the film he did was his best effort for them.
I don't think I've ever met a person who dislikes ABBA. Even the most avant-garde metal lover sings along inside when he/she hears one of their songs. Just amazing. ABBA and The Beatles never seem to get old.
This is definitely my favorite but another great song is one written by Agnetha its called Disillusion. One of Abba's best. All Agnetha and showcases her voice to the max.
Yessss finally somebody reacts to one of the best group in the world ever...everytime i hear abba i either sing along ir start to dance to it....excellent choice loved it.....stay real and healthy
Don't know if you have seen or even heard the song but not to long ago, 2013, Agnetha and Gary Barlow sang a song together. "I should have followed you home". They also did a live performance which is rare when it comes to Agnetha. If you haven't seen or heard it I would love to see you make a reaction to that. It's an amazing song.
The favorite song of my favorite band of all time. I'm glad i'm not the only one who's teary eyed by this one :-). The whole Super Trouper album is the best pop album ever made in my opinion. You do have to feel the Scandinavian melancholy though. Otherwise, Abba won't do it for you..
I have listened to this song a hundred times...and not until today I noticed how Agnetha sings the line "the winner takes it all" with a strong, almost triumphant voice....and then drops into a small almost cracking voice when singing the next line "... the loser standing small". I knew she was a great singer but that was a stroke of genius. Or am I just imagining it?
What a emotional song. Abba showed how beautiful music can be. I miss the amazing arrangements musicians did in the 70s/80s. I know them since I was a kid and still love'em and well, if there are really angels I hope they look and sound like Agnetha. ;)
This reaction video of the song is so sweet and i would suggest "I'm still alive" from ABBA, written and sung by Agnetha. I am a grown boy/man and erverytime i hear it i get goosebumps. But there are only live verions here on YT and it was never released on an official studio album.
You guys are truly amazing..I love both of your reactions towards the best group of all time ABBA. Ginger & Mike I watched your faces and it brought me to tears. This song is beautiful on every level. Thank you from me in Australia, I was super lucky to see them in concert here in Melbourne. How wonderful that so many people now are reacting to their music. So yes guys "play it again " Peace and respect always ❤
Beautiful, thank you for sharing your reaction, lot's of love to you from Sweden!😘❤🇸🇪 Please do a first reaction of their new songs released two days ago🌷🌷🌷🌷
All time ABBA fan. Even some of their earlier songs with somewhat unconventional lyrics are great listening. Another track in similar vein to Winner Takes It All is ''One Man, One Woman''.
Flawless vocals every time. This was one of their finest. 3weeks at No8 In The Us, No1 almost everywhere else. Try listening to "Slipping Through My Fingers" a beautiful song about a child growing up so fast before her mothers eyes.
Ah, this cheered me up. Thank you guys. ABBA have a way of making sad songs seem joyous as their music celebrates what it is to be alive and the emotions that go along with it.
Hello, nice yo see you in another reaction to the Sweden pop group ABBA, the leads in 70s, the decade post BEATLES "The winner takes it all" is for me the best interpretation of a song that I heard in my life by any singer or bsnd It is interpretation, because it is more than just singing, it is also acting and transmitting, and Agnetha does all that and on a superlative level Beyond the morbid that the story of this song produces (the lyrics written by the guitarist and sung by his ex-wife), the structure reflects a change: it is the first time that whoever has the leading voice has been alone from beginning to end, She goes one way and the choirs go the other (they do not add up, they remain in the background) and in the end She is left alone passive and exposed, while the chorus and the music finish so up That is why I feel that Agnetha does an extraordinary performance (extraordinary: out of the ordinary) Her face is always very expressive and accompanies the various tones and nuances of her majestic vocalization. (I remember her in other songs like: "I've been waiting for You" "S.O.S." "My love my life" "Thank you for the music" "Chiquitita") "The winner takes it all" is a great song, it's in my ABBA Top 5 It is the favorite of British fans, but fundamentally is the one chose by Björn (for its composition) and Agnetha (for its interpretation) And their words is the one that is worth more I like you for a reaction to "Chiquitita" at the Concert for UNICEF in 1979 or "Thank you for the music" at "ABBA in Japan" My best wishes for You and Happy New Year from Buenos Aires Argentina
I would like you to react to a Spanish singer her name is Diana Navarro. She is a very versatile singer who sings different musical styles with a very personal voice and with an incredible melismas and capacity of air. On this occasion I recommend you the song "El perdón" (Forgiveness).
As famous producer Pete Waterman once said. A good poptune goes straight into the chest like a dagger.. and good lyrics twist it around. I think this is a good example ..
I'm a metal head/heavy rock fan, one day after work we decided to go to a club that had a happy 2 hours lol. They were a dancey kind of place that started playing a lot of ABBA and there I was singing along verbatim, when I realised what I was doing I was like WTF???? At that point I decided I like them lol. This song in particular resonates with almost everyone...we have all had our hearts broken at some point.
I can tell you a secret, you must have heard of Ritchie Blackmore ex Deep Purple and Rainbows legendary guitarist. Well guess his fav band? You guessed right ABBA! Now do Tommy Johanssons version of this song, its epic and a bit harder!
THank you for having a replay of this classic and Happy New Year o/ Note to self; How sad this seems to be the story of my life, 2020 and 2010.... Extreme learning curves and heart wrenching break ups :( But what a beautiful bittersweet song. Exeptional vocals and harmonies indeed
try this Glennis Grace great also from the Netherlands th-cam.com/video/RTkrQMuvZE8/w-d-xo.html this is the whole movie th-cam.com/video/IdgWArANuvA/w-d-xo.html
Having Watched all your Abba reactions i can clear out that Mike is slightly more of a closer Abba fan than lady Ginger.He knows and is more familiar to Abba's deep cut songs(i.e.Our last summer/Underattack/the way old friends do/if it wasn't for the nights)I guess Frida is his fave Abba lady?
Always nice to see reaction on Swedish classics. Would be fun to see you react to this Swedish tune from the same period (1979). They didn't make it in the US though but the singer is kind of a legend who later worked with The Cardigans, Zara Larsson, Icona Pop, Elliphant and some other Swedish big artists. Cheers from Sweden. th-cam.com/video/jZ1Naw81N2w/w-d-xo.html
One of the best Abba songs for sure. Perhaps you could consider giving Steven Wilson's (of Porcupine Tree) cover of The Day Before You Came a chance? It's simple but effective, imho making it another strong contender for best Abba song. And if you haven't heard it yet, I _strongly_ suggest buying/listening to Benny Andersson's album Piano covering Abba songs on piano only. Stunningly beautiful, and should be compulsory for any Abba fan. (And also this version of The Day Before You Came is just incredible.)
2004 Agnetha released an album called "My Colouring Book". One song I came to love is "If I Thought You´d Ever Change Your Mind". Listen and comment on what you thought of it.
"But tell me, does she kiss Like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same When she calls your name?" Simple lyrics, yet emotionally devastating especially for Agnetha, who is trying to pick herself up after divorce 😢😢😢
You could've chosen "Happy new year" instead. 😉Missed opportunity, there's always next year. And Meryl Streeps version of this song from Mamma Mia isn't bad either
Only ABBA could write a great song about their own personal experience. Agnetha admitted singing this song for the first time brought her to tears as the man who wrote it and her now ex husband was sitting next to her. Great song, Great Band, Great times
This is my favourite ABBA song, followed by 'slipping through my fingers' and 'my love, my life'. ABBA gold is approching 1000 weeks in the UK top 100 albums. A favourite of mine from Agnetha in her pre ABBA days is 'vart ska min karlek fora'. I don't speak Swedish and don't understand a word but its her voice.
This is so so good! Historys best break up song, together with their Knowing me, knowing you. Please react to it or to Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, SOS or Eagle.
Mike and Ginger, I love you so much for this reaction, ABBA is just a phenomenon their song library (for that’s what it is) is unsurpassed. A song for every occasion. Please react to “Tropical Loveland” ABBA does reggae, you’ll live it. BTW, what IDIOT would cheat on you Ginger or Agnetha!. Love from Australia.
Try this with Emilie Nicolas! th-cam.com/video/FaAIrZxQpv4/w-d-xo.html Or Sigrid, I put a link below from a video with her best songs. th-cam.com/video/iCFFl_wGSsI/w-d-xo.html
It's a highly personal song, Mikael, and was written soon after Bjorn and Agnetha's divorce, so it's appropriate that it has Agnetha leading it. You could say the same about 'When All Is Said and Done', which is seen as Frida and Benny's break-up song, on which Frida sings lead vocal. Also, don't forget that Frida (and Bjorn) are singing backing vocals on this one.
At this time "The winner takes it all" was recording (middle 1980): 1) Benny and Frida wasn't divorced 2) Björn and Agnetha was separated (in facts) at the end of 1978 ; their legal divorce was in middle 1980 (a lot of weeks before Björn write the lyrics) 3) I read and see that Agnetha could put her feelings in her interpretation
My dad bought ABBAs first greatest hits album in the 70s when I was maybe 5yrs old. SOS was the first song I started to play on repeat on our Blaupunkt "music centre". Best songwriters, harmonies and vocals of all time... Have you reacted to Knowing me Knowing you, maybe my favourite...
I was like 15 - like Mike maybe - when I fell in love with Abba, Meatloaf & Kate Bush. Abba was the first live music concert I went to lol. Probably a good choice since they did so few live shows.
yeah but dont forget that the "music" we hear was often written before by Benny and Björn would fill with a text. Abba without the music wouldnt be Abba. In fact, I saw here on Swedish tv that Björn imself said that he wrote the text to this song after hearing how Benny had wrote the music for it. So this isnt a "Björn" song, or a Benny - its both and they credited each other, always!

This sing is absolutely one of the classic pop songs of all time. This is a flawless song at every level and an outstanding performance from Agnetha ❤
Agree
Anyone who says that they don't like ABBA, are totally lying.
or spawns of Satan
In the 70s UK you had to do just that if you were a guy. Then we realised it wasn't all disco and we got to enjoy the real quality songs.

@@jacobsmith9962 oh I have seen it plenty of times so I know. Quite a lot here in Sweden had a hard time to admit to love them also.
@@AndyMagnusson70 I think I've heard that a lot Swedes were closeted fans. We should be open to any and all music. Music to me has/is an extremely important avenue for my emotions!
The song which can't hide its pain.
ABBA is my all time favourite too, since childhood on late 70's.
There's a lot of good singers of all geners:
Barbra Streisand
Gloria Gaynor
Donna Summer
Karen Carpenters
Olivia Newton John
but Agnetha Fälkstog is my favorite
her voice, her feelings, her perfomance...
absolutly amazing
No one like She!
I would add Linda Ronstadt and Judith Durham
I've gotta sneak Patsy Cline in there
Perhaps the greatest break up song ever performed by the people concerned!!! It doesn't get any better than this!!
This is the song that made a young English boy find his first crush. Agnethas voice (and the fact she’s stunning) absolutely blew me away. Glad to say all these years later, nothing has changed. What a powerhouse!
Simply ABBA. Nothing more to be said.
Masterpiece.
ABBA the best pop group of all time..salam from Indonesia
Beautifull .. ❤️😭😭❤️
Thank you! I absolutely love Ginger's reaction... she makes me feel that she's living the song inside her.
Paradise of Melody.....♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I`ve been an Abba-fan since the -70`s. They made at least 100 fantastic songs, the voices of those two ladies are the most beautiful I have ever heard. Their music is like the soundtrack of my life.

Closer to 300.

Plaese look live at Wembley 1979, that`s so phantastic, there were live so powerfull and rocky!!! Love your Channel.
Cute moment between the both of you at 4.26 😍 💖
growing up in 70's my sister managed to piss me of on abba. playing it 24/7 on her plastic pickup . :-) (that and grease)
This song inspires many emotional epic song until today
Have loved this song since I was a kid and especially since I learned English and could understand those fantastically raw and honest lyrics. It is a sad song indeed but so beautiful and her great voice so expressive, strong and effortless at the same time ♥
Great comment ! 👍👍👍
ABBA is definitely one of my all-time favorite groups/bands, one of the pioneers of disco music whose sounds inspired many great groups later like Ace of Base and STEPS.

One of the best popsongs in history! Proud Swede :)
Beautiful ABBA from beautiful Sweeden..!
My Dad simply loves this song and me too
Love this song, Abba are just amazing!
I don't think I've ever met a person who dislikes ABBA. Even the most avant-garde metal lover sings along inside when he/she hears one of their songs. Just amazing. ABBA and The Beatles never seem to get old.
winner takes it all , was written by her husband. he and she were getting a divorce at the time.
Agnetha walked out Christmas Day 1978, so they’d been split up more than 18months before this song was released.
sorry you were right but it the song that was written by her husband.@@discogareth
Like every Abba Song was written by her husband. And by Benny, of course.
This is definitely my favorite but another great song is one written by Agnetha its called
Disillusion. One of Abba's best. All Agnetha and showcases her voice to the max.
Yessss finally somebody reacts to one of the best group in the world ever...everytime i hear abba i either sing along ir start to dance to it....excellent choice loved it.....stay real and healthy

you just imaginin it...both bBorn and Benny knew exactly how each song should be played and sounded so...
What a emotional song. Abba showed how beautiful music can be. I miss the amazing arrangements musicians did in the 70s/80s. I know them since I was a kid and still love'em and well, if there are really angels I hope they look and sound like Agnetha. ;)
Arguably THE best pop song ever written.
And absolutely flawlessly performed.
In 1983, ABBA said they were “taking a break” and some of us are still waiting for the group to get back together!
They promised three new songs this year actually ✌🏼
They have a new album out in 2021!
The waiting is over, mate. :)
Yep...new song I Still Have Faith In You.
This reaction video of the song is so sweet and i would suggest "I'm still alive" from ABBA, written and sung by Agnetha. I am a grown boy/man and erverytime i hear it i get goosebumps. But there are only live verions here on YT and it was never released on an official studio album.
You guys are truly amazing..I love both of your reactions towards the best group of all time ABBA. Ginger & Mike I watched your faces and it brought me to tears.

So very welcome..❤
I love abba 🤍 period! 😊
How could you not?! 😅 - G
Anyone who doesn't melt after those lyrics from 4-20 onwards has no soul. It is heartbreaking.
Beautiful, thank you for sharing your reaction, lot's of love to you from Sweden!😘❤🇸🇪
Please do a first reaction of their new songs released two days ago🌷🌷🌷🌷
All time ABBA fan. Even some of their earlier songs with somewhat unconventional lyrics are great listening. Another track in similar vein to Winner Takes It All is ''One Man, One Woman''.
Personally my favorite is Chiquitita, talking about piano.🎶
Flawless vocals every time. This was one of their finest. 3weeks at No8 In The Us, No1 almost everywhere else. Try listening to "Slipping Through My Fingers" a beautiful song about a child growing up so fast before her mothers eyes.
Thank you Sweden for sharing ABBA.
Ah, this cheered me up. Thank you guys. ABBA have a way of making sad songs seem joyous as their music celebrates what it is to be alive and the emotions that go along with it.
I Love it!!!❤️
You should react to Sweden's second largest music export as well; Roxette. "Listen to Your Heart" (Official music video)
super super super wow all of the NTG,s need to listen to this ,oh NTG New tec generation
When you think Benny had problem with drink at time but never let it affect the music
Hello, nice yo see you in another reaction to the Sweden pop group ABBA, the leads in 70s, the decade post BEATLES
"The winner takes it all" is for me the best interpretation of a song that I heard in my life by any singer or bsnd
It is interpretation, because it is more than just singing, it is also acting and transmitting, and Agnetha does all that and on a superlative level
Beyond the morbid that the story of this song produces (the lyrics written by the guitarist and sung by his ex-wife), the structure reflects a change: it is the first time that whoever has the leading voice has been alone from beginning to end,
She goes one way and the choirs go the other (they do not add up, they remain in the background)
and in the end She is left alone passive and exposed, while the chorus and the music finish so up
That is why I feel that Agnetha does an extraordinary performance (extraordinary: out of the ordinary)
Her face is always very expressive and accompanies the various tones and nuances of her majestic vocalization.
(I remember her in other songs like:
"I've been waiting for You"
"S.O.S."
"My love my life"
"Thank you for the music"
"Chiquitita")
"The winner takes it all" is a great song, it's in my ABBA Top 5
It is the favorite of British fans,
but fundamentally is the one chose
by Björn (for its composition)
and Agnetha (for its interpretation)
And their words is the one that is worth more
I like you for a reaction to "Chiquitita" at the Concert for UNICEF in 1979
or "Thank you for the music"
at "ABBA in Japan"
My best wishes for You
and Happy New Year
from Buenos Aires Argentina
They've done it. ABBA Gold has just hit 1000 weeks in the UK album charts - the first album, ever to do this
I would like you to react to a Spanish singer her name is Diana Navarro. She is a very versatile singer who sings different musical styles with a very personal voice and with an incredible melismas and capacity of air. On this occasion I recommend you the song "El perdón" (Forgiveness).
As famous producer Pete Waterman once said. A good poptune goes straight into the chest like a dagger.. and good lyrics twist it around. I think this is a good example ..
Interesting point: the song lyrics were written by Agnetha's husband (ex) on guitar.
Wow, a break up song we can dance with
I'm a metal head/heavy rock fan, one day after work we decided to go to a club that had a happy 2 hours lol. They were a dancey kind of place that started playing a lot of ABBA and there I was singing along verbatim, when I realised what I was doing I was like WTF???? At that point I decided I like them lol. This song in particular resonates with almost everyone...we have all had our hearts broken at some point.
I can tell you a secret, you must have heard of Ritchie Blackmore ex Deep Purple and Rainbows legendary guitarist. Well guess his fav band? You guessed right ABBA!
Now do Tommy Johanssons version of this song, its epic and a bit harder!
THank you for having a replay of this classic and Happy New Year o/
Note to self; How sad this seems to be the story of my life, 2020 and 2010.... Extreme learning curves and heart wrenching break ups :(
But what a beautiful bittersweet song.
Exeptional vocals and harmonies indeed
So big in Australia I think before America
I grew up with there music .they would have to be the best pop group ever.back then they new how to Write music.not like the crap that's out now.
_"The Winner Takes It All"_ ...
A beautiful song, that's hard on the heart!
try this Glennis Grace great also from the Netherlands th-cam.com/video/RTkrQMuvZE8/w-d-xo.html this is the whole movie th-cam.com/video/IdgWArANuvA/w-d-xo.html
Is there anybody in the world who does not love ABBA? Can’t be. ❤️🤘❤️🤘
At least one of my cousins (a professional drummer for 40+ years) doesn't like them at all.
Well, neither do I.
If there are they are not being honest ☺
@@tarmotyyri6733 all that drumming has obviously affected his hearing lol.
Feel sorry for him. Cheers.
Very female/ male reaction... emotions/ analysis ...we are different species!!!

2004 Agnetha released an album called "My Colouring Book". One song I came to love is "If I Thought You´d Ever Change Your Mind". Listen and comment on what you thought of it.
Björn did this lyrics so don't forget him
We love every single one of them! -G
"But tell me, does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?"
Simple lyrics, yet emotionally devastating especially for Agnetha, who is trying to pick herself up after divorce 😢😢😢
Please, react to Andante, andante by Abba.
Can i ask you to react to Buffey St Marie 'Big Ones Get Away' video. X
You could've chosen "Happy new year" instead. 😉Missed opportunity, there's always next year.
And Meryl Streeps version of this song from Mamma Mia isn't bad either
Every song is a masterclass
Do me a favor, you guys - next time react to The Piper by ABBA.
You guys should do some reactions to The Carpenters, too!
Only ABBA could write a great song about their own personal experience. Agnetha admitted singing this song for the first time brought her to tears as the man who wrote it and her now ex husband was sitting next to her. Great song, Great Band, Great times
Benny wrote the music
look up the back story to this song
A song that is just amazing in every way. Timeless and beautifully sad like no other. Sing your heart out Agnetha we love you ❤ Abba
Nice, a wonderful old song by a great group. Thanks for the reaction.
You can see why ABBA have sold 385 million records.
I love watching agnetha sing kisses of fire on abba in Switzerland
Listen to Björn & Bennys musical Chess, Elaine Page takes on Agnethas ’role’
This is my favourite ABBA song, followed by 'slipping through my fingers' and 'my love, my life'.
ABBA gold is approching 1000 weeks in the UK top 100 albums.
A favourite of mine from Agnetha in her pre ABBA days is 'vart ska min karlek fora'. I don't speak Swedish and don't understand a word but its her voice.
It means. Where is LOVE taking me?
Status: Gold
This is so so good! Historys best break up song, together with their Knowing me, knowing you. Please react to it or to Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, SOS or Eagle.
Abba songs is not going outta door anytime, any day cause their songs r around for a reason cause is healing souls till this day
Mike and Ginger, I love you so much for this reaction, ABBA is just a phenomenon their song library (for that’s what it is) is unsurpassed. A song for every occasion. Please react to “Tropical Loveland” ABBA does reggae, you’ll live it. BTW, what IDIOT would cheat on you Ginger or Agnetha!. Love from Australia.
Live. and that sound.😮
There was something especially sad about sad songs from Agnetha. You just don't want Agnetha to look sad!
I've collected 111 ABBA songs and like them all. My fave is My Love, My Life. More Agnetha magic.
A stunningly beautiful Masterpiece ♥
I can be that woman is another beatiful Agnetha performance
ABBA is group for all the times.
Try this with Emilie Nicolas!

Love people that say LP, like we did in the 70s/80s, instead of vinyl.
I wonder why only Agneta is singing on this one..,why they made that discision ..I mean,Benny & Frida broke up,too.
It's a highly personal song, Mikael, and was written soon after Bjorn and Agnetha's divorce, so it's appropriate that it has Agnetha leading it. You could say the same about 'When All Is Said and Done', which is seen as Frida and Benny's break-up song, on which Frida sings lead vocal. Also, don't forget that Frida (and Bjorn) are singing backing vocals on this one.
At this time "The winner takes it all" was recording (middle 1980):
1) Benny and Frida wasn't divorced
2) Björn and Agnetha was separated (in facts) at the end of 1978 ; their legal divorce was in middle 1980
(a lot of weeks before Björn write the lyrics)
3) I read and see that Agnetha could put her feelings in her interpretation
Frida is singing backup lines (along with agnetha and Bjorn) that is doing the counterpoint me;odd
My dad bought ABBAs first greatest hits album in the 70s when I was maybe 5yrs old. SOS was the first song I started to play on repeat on our Blaupunkt "music centre". Best songwriters, harmonies and vocals of all time... Have you reacted to Knowing me Knowing you, maybe my favourite...
My dad had the Voulez Vous album, and it got played all the time when I was a kid! - G
40yrs !! Did we ever forget them ? I cannot say which song I love the best, but I'm just so happy that they are back. We love you 😍❤💜♥
I was like 15 - like Mike maybe - when I fell in love with Abba, Meatloaf & Kate Bush. Abba was the first live music concert I went to lol. Probably a good choice since they did so few live shows.
All their songs lyrics are written by Bjorn not Benny with the exception. Of one or two that Agnetha wrote..
yeah but dont forget that the "music" we hear was often written before by Benny and Björn would fill with a text. Abba without the music wouldnt be Abba. In fact, I saw here on Swedish tv that Björn imself said that he wrote the text to this song after hearing how Benny had wrote the music for it. So this isnt a "Björn" song, or a Benny - its both and they credited each other, always!
