![Rock Band React ABBA "Don't Shut Me Down" [REACTION #11]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0lFFsBnlkbY/mqdefault.jpg)
My original edit of this got blocked, all 15 minutes 😬 so I managed to get these 8 mins online and hopefully this can stay up! I love these new ABBA songs. Which one is your favourite out of the 2?
I love them both! But DSMD is the radio ready single of the two. Welcome back legends ABBA rules!
So unfair when multiple other channels posted it in full
@@popland1977 But they either didn't show the video, or masked it under their logo.
DSMN is a bop!!!
I love both songs equally.
‘I still have faith in you’ is so huge…so emotional. What a comeback !
The other song is fabulous too.
Im a 53 year old man wasn’t a big ABBA fan as a kid, but boy did this make me feel nostalgic. And yes, I was welling up. The harmonies especially in I still have faith in you where amazing. Everyone can resonate with these lyrics especially in the middle of a pandemic. The music is timeless, I have no doubts that people of all ages will enjoy the new album.
I'm 56, admit to being a fan but by gum these two songs got me in shreds too!! I think its a stroke of genius to produce this quality given the combined ages!
I'm 54 and it got me too
@@VikingJeff 53 male got lump in throat...listened to DSMD 100 times. Dancing when no one is looking lol
I’m half your age but I grew up singing to these songs on car rides home from school. I can only imagine how it could make you feel!
Abba have delivered just when the world needed it most.
Agnetha and Anni-Frid's vocals are superb, as strong as ever, perfectly controlled ... pure class.
Love both songs, omg goose bumps so emotional. Hungry for more cannot wait for the release of their album. 🎼🎶🎤💃🌟
I feel the same way!
Being of Swedish heritage (parents both born in Sweden), it’s that accent that has always made ABBA just SO special to me! And hearing it now with their older voices, it’s even more so! 🥰🇸🇪
I want to retire in Sweden. I want to be away from people like in a northern cabin with my dogs and my piano. Such a beautiful country.
I prefer songs written and sung in swedish language 😍 "Även en blomma, kommen ur god jord, behöver näring för att gro..." a song of Anni-Frid of Abba.
As a life long Abba-fan, I still can`t believe this is actually happening. Hearing those voices again, sounding amazing as always. And the fact that their approach to singing those harmonies is a little more loose only makes it better. They are older now, it doesn`t have to be just so. They are a little more laid back, maybe. And it`s okay. How can these ladies sound that good at that age? The lyrics are as brilliant as ever. Many layers one can find hiding in them. Beautiful.
As I've listened more I actually think these songs are just as beautiful and talented if not more so
@@alecneate76 absolutely. They get better every time you listen them. Just like before: you find something new you didn`t notice before.
You are NOT fan of this GENIOUS people's band ! There's NOT Abba or abba - only ABBA is correct. Sorry 😋
@@hitnapomoc6174 😄👍
Don't worry about crying... I've been like it for three days now!
I actually cried more during the second one "Don't Shut Me Down" especially when the chorus came in and you heard the girls together again in a classic "ABBA harmony" style....ahhhh PURE GOOSEBUMPS !!!! They're back and KILLIN' IT!!!! I'm super psyched to see the unfinished track "Just A Notion" is on the album....I loved hearing the demo of it ,and it became one of my favs by them...so this is gonna finally have a finished version, I am over the moon for it
Same her
Glad it wasn’t just me getting emotional. Big ABBA fan since 1975. I’m 58 yoa !
Nope, 56 here and in shreds too!
Just booked my concert ticket in London for next Sept 👍
It’s not even funny anymore. I’m a grown 52yo guy, grew up w ABBA, and I can’t get enough of this song. Gets me every time, who’s cutting onions? Great lyrics from Björn, Benny’s genius music, and Agnetha’s vocals 🤷 ABBA just brought music back!
ABBA is a league of its own. You can't compare them with any band. Their harmonies are majestic and the production is always excellent. When someone copies them, it is always a lesser version and almost like a perversion of them.
For instance Momma Mia..Can't stand those movies.
@@scottfarley3644 💯 agreed! but it has its purpose, to introduce younger kids about ABBA, and most often, those kids would eventually listen to the original songs by ABBA and they never looked back since..
@@badlongon525 Yes that would be fine if they would not pervert the message in those songs and make them into something they were never intended to be.
Steps tried to sound like Abba but it was a poor comparison although they had some good songs.
I loved ABBA and I grew up listening to their music. When I listened to "I still have faith in me" with the instrumental along with the lyrics. I literally had tears. It brought back memories of my childhood/adolescent with their music. This really hit the spot in my heart. I love the lyrics on "Dont shut me down" with a slight disco vibes.. Worth listening to both of them! I even paid the pre-ordered CD album. I am looking forward to hearing more songs when it comes in the mail!! And they are coming to Clearwater!! *(screaming)* I will get tickets this week before they are sold out! THEY are NOT forgotten.. in fact, the World misses ABBA!!
Technically the best review... i played the concert ABBA gave when they came to Holland in '75 or '76 as an extra musician, and was amazed immediately !!! Loved them ever since... It is a joy to see them come back electronically, like a step into the future ! Your tears, and those of the world, are tears of joy on recovery of music we all thought was ended. God bless ABBA, and those of you who still have Faith in Goodness of intent. ...
Begrijp ik nu goed dat jij met ABBA hebt opgetreden?
@@viderethevaccinatorfromhol7536 Ja, dat is correct. I was hoornist by Veronica af en toe als schnabelar {extra}. Ik speelde in het pick-up orkest van 5 of 6 anderen. Geweeldige ervaring...
One thing that is universal with all the reactions I've seen on TH-cam and in person, including myself, is the emotion it brings out of all sorts of people, young, old, rockers, whatever. Eyes mist up and joy comes to your heart. ABBA is universal.
These songs are brilliantly crafted and performed. They start exactly where they should and they give closure to the past and hope for the future. As a musician and composer, I adore ABBA. So amazingly talented and brave. Who picks up right where they left off 40 years earlier?! Only ABBA. Simply.the.best!!!
They were very clever to address the possible criticisms they might receive for such a daring comeback within the lyrics. As in, "Yes, we are older but listen to us!!" Their voices are definitely a different quality but the essence and beauty comes through. I'm delighted we can embrace music from a band who is not airbrushed 20 somethings. Beautiful evolution for humanity.
there voices are only like 10% different plus it the key there singing in.
ABBA always had good timing ! Great comeback, just when the planet needs it the most
It's totally normal to be emotional to a group that its music has changed the world. I am just so happy that you react to it so beautifully.
I remember the first time I saw ABBA. I had just started my trade training in the Australian Air Force in Melbourne at Laverton. I was 18 years old and went to Asco on the base. Asco was an on base store that sold everything from televisions to meat pies. Walked in and saw ABBA on the screen of this tv for sale singing Waterloo. Has been love ever since. I’m now 64 and can’t wait to get to London next year to see them in virtual concert.
Thank you❤🇸🇪 It's emotional for many of us and ok to cry❤😉
ABBA is building their own arena in London for their new format show, opens in May next year. And they are not holograms nor avatars, it's them and their moves but digitally, you see how in the music videos😉
¨If music is the food of love"that Shakespear once said then ABBA was the kiss of life for us fans.Within 3-4 minutes of a song you got the easiest , most joyful,emotional way to connect and communicate with a whole world.
Early sixty year old ABBA fanatic here. Crushed on Agnetha in high school and college, and simply love the group. I would give my eye teeth to see your original edit. Your reaction to I Still Have Faith in You had me almost as much in tears as the first time I watched the the ABBA video (I completely broke when they faded in to the ABBAtars). Your commentary is professional and spot on. In short, I loved it. Like, subscribe, ding... Beautiful work!
Aw thank you so much, I really wish I could have shared the original edit - maybe in time to come 🥰
Now all my kids are fans. My son (and l) broke down in tears when we heard "faith". So, I spent hours getting tickets for us (it's a secret). I've met B and B a few times and was sure they would never record again. This is great!!!!!!!
Its gonna be a major comeback nostalgic grand slam!!! Every person alive now... Have a memory that has been made on or with a ABBA song... I truly believe ABBA is one of the most universal groups ever... One of the best bands ever. Their music becomes the audience... It takes us back into our own lives... THAT IS WHAT MAKES ABBA UNDIYING!!!
These two songs are wonderful 😭 and so sentimental. I'm over the moon!
I made the same comment below on the Abba video itself, but I must say, I loved this reaction video as well - your reaction to the first song was pretty much how I reacted to both songs!
===
I've listened to these two new songs a few times now. I get emotional every time. I loved Abba all those decades ago, back in my teens. Now, in my mid-50s, I find myself with tears in my eyes listening to these new ones now.
It is wonderful.
How is music able to do this? It is more that just music however, it is the flood of nostalgia that comes with it, and the feelings associated with another time in our lives, listening to something we loved at that time, and not expecting to ever be hit that way again. At least, that is my attempt to explain what I struggle to put into words.
Thank you, Anni-Frid, Benny, Bjorn and Agnetha.
ok, im crying with you. i just can't hear these songs without tears
Honestly every time I listen to Abba my heart gets bigger and bigger.
The guys of ABBA showed respect to the girls by giving one song of their two new ABBA singles to Frida and the other to Agnetha.
Oh most definitely "Don't Shut Me Down", the first time I heard it ...when the girls voices came together in the pre-chorus, it literally made me cry...there is just something about Agnetha and Frida singing together that just blends perfectly...and when you hear them, you instantly ALWAYS say, ohhh that's ABBA! It is just a unique and powerful sound that is pop music at it's finest!
Wow, so glad I found this reaction, Nina! I've watched dozens of reactions to both new ABBA songs now but yours and Joe Gautrey's are easily the best. With your vocal expertise and his experience as a music producer, I spotted SO much more about these songs. I'm a lifelong ABBA fan but I have limited musical knowledge so I really enjoyed this video as it gives me other things to notice as I listen to both songs for the 50th time! You and Joe should seriously team up! Also: subscribed :-)
*When Vocal Coach reacts it gives more depth and insight than those regular Reaction Videos. TQ*
I cried too, even though I am a 46 year old man. I listened to the songs many times and cried many times. These are emotional songs. Both songs are emotional, just different tempos. My Mom and Dad was huge ABBA fan at my childhood. My Mom always sang ABBA songs at home. My Dad was a musician and I became a bassist 30 years ago. I'm still active musician. This songs give me my childhood, lot of memories. My parents has passed away. Now I'm alone without them. The music is amazing, somethimes like an elixir. ABBA is a modern "classical", like Mozart or Beethoven. Sorry about my English, I'm an Hungarian old guy.
Yup, ABBA music was shared across generations.
We love ABBA. Something tells me we’re not alone…
Crazy song writing, arranging, producing, voices… Past their 70’s!
The pop music masters from heaven!!
Lovely reactions. Both are great, but it's the first one that make us cry. That's hard to beat.
The first one that got me when I listened on Spotify was “don’t shut me down” because it’s a little simpler (even if not even the simple songs with ABBA are too simple).
Then I went to the videos and felt so geeky, crying, smiling, laughing, all at the same time when I listened to “I still have faith in you”. My favorite was still “don’t shut me down “ tho, but “Do I have it in me” has been growing on me ever since, and now I can’t stop listening to it! 😅
I agree with what was said about the arrangements. They are so perfectly thought through. All the small things. The theme from “Do I have it in me” showing up over and over, in both lead vocals, backing vocals, guitars, whistles, strings aso. It gets the theme line to get literally stuck in your head before the song is over. I think those are two masterpieces and even if none of the rest are half as good, they’re still gonna be good enough.
This has got me to smile for days now. It’s incredible how music can affect the day!
Thank you ABBA for that, and really good job @Nina_Schofield analyzing the two songs, best analyze this far!!!
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
More Instruments, Composing, Harmonies and Melody than 94% of other current "Music"!
It's mainly melodies, girls' unique voices blended together perfectly, and instruments.
I have loved Abba sens was a child ❤️❤️ an 57 now and i love them even more
What you gonna get??? ABBA! Another 8 songs.
Yes I cried..years of joy🥰🤧
Yes! It's unbelievable that ABBA came back after 40 years! I was waiting for this moment for a long time! :D Anyway amazing emotional come back songs! By the way the piano in Don't Shut Me Down reminds me of the beginning piano in Dancing Queen :D Is it just me?
I love ABBA. They split when I was 9 and they remind me of my childhood but as an adult, I could more so appreciate what pop geniuses they were. These new songs are wonderful - the voices have aged but Agnetha and Frida still made my hairs stand on end.
I’ve watched many reaction videos and yours is the most analytical and informative. Gives me a greater appreciation for what ABBA has accomplished. I was a teen at the height of their success. I’m 59 now and shocked at the emotion that’s overcome me by their reunification and release of these two songs. Love your genuine reaction. You have a new fan from Chicago Illinois.
I grew up with ABBA,, back in the ye olde time,,, i would never ever of thought id be here, listening to new songs, A MY GOODNESS, both songs are amazing,,, bring on NOVEMBER 5TH , ( Ive heard there is a crimbo song as well coming ),, OHHO ABBA. ( you have a wonder voice too ).
I feel like an 8 year old when I first discovered them (1974). I got Ring Ring as a gift from
my foster mother and that was it I was hooked for life after hearing Agnetha's voice.
❤️
We all needed so much ABBA after all of this things happening about covid and stuff, we really needed therm, THANKS ABBA for bringing your great music to this generation! ♥♥♥
I fill up every time I hear Frida's vocal on this. Great, of course, but sounding vulnerable too and imbued with life's experience. Devastating performance. So yea, I like it.
Thank you. Don't shut me down is my favourite. Classic Abba
I am a huge fan of ABBA. Great singers and beautiful warm and soft music, but also very respectable poeple, they say only nice things, never bad language, very friendly, never talking about their problems.
In one sentence: They have class.
Great review! They are so amazing and are timeless. I can't decide which I like better. It's a bit like asking what type of candy bar is your favourite! LOL
“I Still Have Faith In You.” That question, “do I have it in me” has universal appeal these days. Hey, if the members of ABBA feel that way, after all they’ve accomplished, that brings me comfort.
Abba music brings tears of joy to my eyes. ❤️
You're so talented, that you can listen to the music and play it instantly on your keyboard. Brilliant.
OMG seeing the ABBAtars sing the chorus got me. Real tears, and I'm a 76 year old guy.
ABBA surprises us with not just one, but TWO incredible singles! That's a one-two punch!!! WHOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!
🧡 ABBA !
WELCOME BACK ! WELCOME HOME ! WELCOME THE RETURN OF ABBA MAGIC !
It's okay, Nina, I'll cry with you. My only regret with your reaction is that their performances were edited down to bits. I would have loved to sit through them both again for the countless time.
As a member of the original fanbase who helped propel ABBA to global stardom, you have no idea how thrilled it makes me to know that younger generations have and continue to carry the torch for ABBA. May these two songs, the entire album, earn ABBA PLATIMUM. They so deserve it.
Thanks Nina.
For the love of music, and ABBA - Peace.
THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC reaction! I really enjoyed watching your emotional journey through these songs. The best reaction videos are the ones where someone with musical knowledge explains what’s going on in the construct of the song. Loved your commentary.
Keep sharing the MAGIC OF ABBA!
two new songs masterpiece ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Oh this was a great review. You pointed out things that I hadn't noticed. Really great song and a very informative reaction. Thank you.
When writing just changing one note bringing it forwards or back can change the entire phrase. The smallest of changes can turn an average song into something wonderful. Abba are masterful in their writing and they use really nice chords that we never hear much in music anymore. Abba always sounded like a music theatre/pop band to me. They never tried to fit into any format or music style that was popular at any given time. They were always true to themselves and allowed themselves to sound as they naturally were. It's such a relief they haven't tried to modernise Abba or attempt to sound 'current'. I am sure they could pull that off no problems but remaining true to themselves is the right choice.
Great reaction, really looking forward to the album!!
These songs are so moving. Listen to ABBA...cry like a baba!
Even the candles at my desk cried while I played the ABBA songs!
Its ok Nina lol I feel you I also got emotional.
This is really exciting def cant wait for the full album.
The songs and Nina's reaction, I'm welling up too..Great group/band. Thank you.
I cried when i herd their beautiful voices truly emotional especially I Still Have Faith In You two beautiful songs Abba welcome back they are the best and greatest band ever what a fantasic come back Voyage the Album is pure magic masterpiece of an album you will love it
I actually got more emotional in 'Don't Shut Me Down'. Those lyrics are so layered.
Wow, this brings back Eighties memories!
Loved the song so emotional. I still have faith in you super song. The ladies nailed it
Its a fantasticly musically rich song. They know exactly how to build it up.. . Crying my eyes out...This is so brilliant.... welcome back ABBA 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
It took Abba to give us clear eloquent lyrics
Ha ha, I shouldn’t be surprised I was expecting this actually. I saw your comment in the comment section of their video. You said you were emotional and it touched me.
♥️♥️ it really got to me and I wasn’t expecting it to!
Every time i listen to the 2 new songs I burst in to tears of joy thank you ABBA
The world needs ABBA right now
You are a talented pianist, and a lovely person, that;s what I get mostly from this. Well done to you for being you!
Enjoyed watching your dissection and analyses of each song 💕
same feelings and emotions like you Nina ♥ - thank you for this great reaction video.
Hi Nina,
Glad if you could just hop in and answer one question,please.
I have been totally taken by surprise that young people born at around year 2000 (like you i presume) are so happy, elated and share the nostalgia and tears of joy with the older generation that actually listening to ABBA when they were around in real time. Its super duper, ofcourse, but what made Abba survive to this day to have such a large following 40 years since the last record , you think ?
when a song makes you cry abba could always do that xx
Dear Nina, i´m interested in your opinion about the quality of Agnetha and Frida's singing. For me it´s amazing that Agnetha in particular still has the same voice as before. Frida's voice has matured, but it's still magical. What do you think? Ist the singing natural or heavily autotuned? Thanks for your Videos! :-D
Absolutely natural - what’s interesting about the singing voice is it changes as we age and so now she has a richness and earthiness in her tone that has perhaps developed over recent years 🥰
They got you from the First Note. You try your get your Stuff together but then you get your big Smile and It got all away. We are all lost 😂🤣😂
Love that you know theory and can play piano to illustrate. It’s unique.
I just cried hearing Fridas voice on the first one so beautiful
Very musically insightful- thank you. Both songs are great but would pick the first only for its outstanding melodies. How awesome to listen to in 2021!
Anni-Frid (Frida) is the redhead and does the lead on the song. Agnetha, the blond does the lead on their other new song; "Don't Shut Me down". The guys are Björn and Benny.
No autotune because they can actually Sing unlike modern pop.
Imagine, everyone sharing consciousness over something that has lasted for as long as their music has!
Thanks for the great video. “Dont shut me down” triggered something in my soul, a weird combination of sadness & euphoria.
I haven't seen anyone comment or react to the fact that they are all in their 70s now and still sound so great.
That's what talent and big passion for music do.
Amazingggg return
Your a angle priceless appreciate your talent your heart a beautiful Lady !
Joy and tears all over the world. Thankful for what they have given, and the new :))
I seemed to get something in my eye while watching this. Definitely wasn't tears, though. Nope, not at all. Sending virtual hugs from NYC.
🤗♥️
*i think it would be fair to say, DISCO HAD NEVER DIED IN 2021.*
OMG I totally agree!!!
One of the these two is not disco though...
@@Mario-xr3jo *yes I'm aware of that. I was referring to Don't Shut Me Down.*
Lovely review. Very thoughtful.
everyone else can leave the stage now..................ABBA ARE BACK !!!!!!!!!
HELLO NINA, THIS SONG TOOK ME ALONG AN EMOTIONAL AND NOSTALGIC JOURNEY.
NINA, IF YOU CAN GET OR SEE THE LYRICS, IT WILL REALLY HELP YOU TO COMPREHEND THE PROFOUND MEANINGS TO THE SONGS.
AND WITH 40 YEARS OF PASSAGE, THE GIRLS VOICES ARE STILL VERY GOOD WITH ADDED MATURITY.
TAKCE NINA FROM EMILIO IN ADELAIDE CITY IN AUSTRALIA
They are back with perfect music. And it's Providence
Love your style!
Australia - Great to have them back! ❤❤
My 10-yo daughter is very easliy distracted so it was great to see her connecting to the music. She recognised some of the songs from my "corona karaoke sessions", but in spite of that she just seemed spellbound. She just liked it right away!
Hi..thanks for your reaction..greetings from Gothenburg
why did you cut the all music?
