It’s beautiful no doubt about that.But also this is one of those wonders social media does nowadays - you have seen so many Tik Tok videos and all of them associate this melody with beautiful moments so your mind works this way now when you hear this!
I had to dedicate this song to myself. For years I was in a major slump of depression filled with drug and alcohol abuse. I was a walking deadman. When I heard these lyrics, something sparked and became alive inside of me. It had been so long since I had felt that hope. Abba rules. 2 years sober. To anyone who is going through it, know that there is hope!
If you listen to the lyrics it spells out what we the world are currently going through with this very ugly covid-19 virus I hope that we can put behind ourselves and March on with life.
@@wtrskr59 I dont think they would have been able to predict the coronavirus.. This was made more then 11 years ago and they didnt intention to do that.
This song is all over tik tok right now and I can’t help coming back to listen to it. I grew up listening to this song and ABBA in general because of my dad. Maybe it’s just because my life is so different now and I was just a kid when I used to listen to it, I can’t help but to cry whenever the ending to this plays on tik tok.
Same, when I was like 5-7 years old I remember listening to Abba because of my grandma. On my way to kindergarten? Abba. Going grocery shopping with her? Abba. I knew the song sounded oddly familiar when I heard it on tiktok but I couldn’t remember where it was from, and then someone commented the song name and I rushed here lol. It feels so nostalgic even tho I’m only 14
Because it's a good song. I have this song on my playlist between iron maiden (the loneliness of the long distance runner) and Judas priest (Nostradamus).
Watch The Postman, with Kevin Costner. There is a scene where the warmongering people get downright ANGRY at the movie that is playing showing Dolph Lundgren. They want, no they need to watch The Sound of Music. Same thing really.
We played this for our Mom (her favorite song), as we said our final goodbyes to her.... Jan 24, 2017. Life hasn't been the same since. I miss you, Mom.... I wish you were here. I hope you're flying once more... and singing a new song. I love you, from the bottom of my broken heart.
You have my sympathies sweetheart, it doesn't matter how old you are when you lose your mum it hits you like a freight-train, I lost my mum Oct 4, 2012 and you never truly get over it. Take care and best wishes.
I hope you’re doing well. I’m so sorry about your mom. The wonderful thing about music is that it allows memories to be captured in a song and you’ll always remember the feelings from that moment. Sending my love.❤️
This going to be played at my babies funeral. She is 15 and she was a foster mom to 256 forever homes for Chihuahua Heaven dog rescue. She has doggy alzheimers and has 5 weeks to live at best. We are all crying. We know they don't live forever but we e still love them
When I hear this song, it makes me think of my mom. She has passed away just shy of 2 years ago. She loved Abba. This was her favorite song. I love this song too. I am primarely a metal head, but I love this band. So much respect. i feel so connected. Thank you Abba for this masterpiece. This is for you Mama. I love you and I miss you
I feel like this song is the comforting and assuring hug from a maternal figure. Someone we have grown estranged or lost or have been far away from. We all have that one mom figure we either miss or we wish we had when listening to this song. May all those children who find comfort in this song regardless their age find peace and comfort and warmth in life ❤️
The chorus in particular has to be one of the most incredible I've heard in a pop song, and agreed the vocal talent in general is amazing. It's depressing how untalented most of the pop stars are now compared to back then.
"How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving " They actually add an extra beat there. It's brilliant how good they've made it sound even though our brains usually consider that very illogical.
I’m from Mexico and I just know a little bit of English and even so this song makes me cry 😭 maybe because it reminds me of my childhood when I played with my dad, now we have grown apart, I feel like he stopped loving me like before. I miss him telling me chiquitita.
This was the first song to play on my Spotify playlist after I had finally told my doctors about my mental health issues, it made me feel more hopeful in my future and myself than I have ever felt in my entire life! It made me tear up and I never cry. This is for sure my favorite song. 🥰
Lyrics Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong You're enchained by your own sorrow In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow How I hate to see you like this There is no way you can deny it I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, tell me the truth I'm a shoulder you can cry on Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on You were always sure of yourself Now I see you've broken a feather I hope we can patch it up together Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita So the walls came tumbling down And your love's a blown out candle All is gone and it seems too hard to handle Chiquitita, tell me the truth There is no way you can deny it I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita
The piano at the ending..that's what true happiness feels like to me. It feels like getting what you've always wanted, it feels like falling in love or getting married to your soulmate, it feels like realizing everything is going to be okay. ♡
I remember saying..'' the future is going to be brilliant''.....Me wishing I can go back in time and stay there forever where all around me was clear and simpler....every second of this song brings back my childhood colors, aromas, flavors...sensations...you name it.!!!...
This song made me go through so many feels. Leaning back and closing my eyes everything passed through like a story and wow. I think everyone’s been in the place of the Chiquita. If your going through something, know that someone is going to be there for you, sing your new song together. Everything will be ok. ❤️
ABBA is absolutely timeless... excellent group. Coming from a through and through metalhead, they are probably in my top 10 bands of all time. As I saw Corey Taylor say in an interview once, "I listen to everything from ABBA to Anthrax, deal with it."
Whenever I hear this song, I think for the rest of my life, I will always think of the time little 16 year old me had just gotten my heart broken for the first time (like not even 10 minutes prior) and I had been venting to my coworker about how much it sucked, who in return was venting about his relationship problems. A little bit later on I was doing silverware and I had been for about 20 minutes, just with my earbuds in listening to sad Abba songs, and then this one came on. And all I could focus on was the sad part of it, the "in your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow" and not the "you'll be dancing once again and the pain will end" part. And then my coworker walks up next to me, also with earbuds in, and grabs a linen and starts helping me with silverware, wordlessly. And right at that moment the song cleared away to the piano part at the end and I felt like crying. Thank you, Gavin, you have no idea how much that little moment meant to me.
My uncle introduced me to abba in the late 90s when I was 8 we used to wake up at 4 in the morning to watch the sun rise and have breakfast and get ready to go to work at the farm he worked on sadly we lost him to cancer in 2019 he is missed everyday every time I hear this song it brings me to tears it just floods my mind with such good mood my uncle he was the best rest in peace uncle Mark gone but far from forgotten
Not much of an ABBA fan but i remember when i was little my mom playing it in the car, and for some reason I thought Mama Mia was the lady on the raison boxes' theme song.
ABBA has always been my number one, and this song ALWAYS makes me cry, no matter the mood. I feel empowered when I hear it, I remember everything I've overcome and it feels absolutely amazing. How can you not? Pure Greatness.
This very record was my first album. Bought for me by my dad's sister when I was 9. I'm now 49 and it's still lovely to listen to. My dad's now pased away and I still let this album take me back to when he was alive.
Getting goosebumps hearing this again, bunch of memories listening to my mom gladly and loudly this song while doing something, cleaning, cooking, and partying with huge parties in our little house. Bunch of drunk loving friends and family singing this, tons of good thoughts coming while hearing.
Their diction is just perfect (to me) I think that's just one of the things that made abba so very good, you can hear every syllable which is not so with a lot of other bands, musicians, and singers. The harmonies are magnificent, they will never be copied with any degree of success. (IMHO)
@@Natalieim right! It definitely has a few different genres of mexican music not just country but One thing is for sure, give it Spanish lyrics and it will just be another Mexican mainstream song lol
This song reminds me of my grandmother. She was my biggest supporter. I did music as a child and into early adulthood but when depression took over I stopped. She was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 2015 and passed away in 2021. During that period I started playing for her again and it brought back a light I had been missing for a while. I also got to show her this song and hold her hand as it played. I miss her so much... ❤
my UK grad school days...Abba was what we all sang and danced to late at night when we came home from the pub. so different from my LA home. miss those days
To my dearest mother i will forever remember you with this song. i love you with all my heart. you couldn't have been a better mother to me and my brother. i wish i can express the love him and i feel for you. Its unconditional and we will never be against you only beside you till the very end. Your amazing and the most angelic figure of a human being. Never met a woman so sweet caring and loving not only to us but to everyone around you. Your an angel your a doll your a beautiful person. As much as anti religious i am i can say god really took his time with you mom. i love you oh so much Lucy
I need to hear this played by a mariachi band. this is the song my mom and I shared. victims of an abusive father this was our theme Thank GOD for the replay button!
As a Metal Head growing up in the 80's this type of music was strictly taboo (except for me). I hated the fact that I loved this band but it simply could not be helped. Almost everyone of their songs were so damn catchy. As some music genres come and go I think ABBA is that one band that holds some stamina. I don't think I am the only one to have a playlist of Metallica , Ozzy , AC/DC and ABBA. Well, maybe I am the only one but don't care.
I'm usually an AC/DC and Green Day kind of person, but god damn, ABBA was great. From time to time I listen to their songs in endless loop. So, no, you're not alone :)
You are not the only one my friend. Props to you for being open minded. These guys were writing killer songs and had incredible production values. Those things cross genre boundaries.
I'm strictly a metal head (gorgoroth, behemoth,Infant Annihilator,belphagor) stuff like that. But damn I cannot deny it , abba is so awesome. Don't know why but this past month I have just been binge listening to them.
there is a lot of metalheads who really enjoy abba songs, just look at all comments on this playlist.., i know we have our own taboo of keep it only metalish but abba's musical composition were ahead of time, the songs never gets old, specially this one as a blackmetalhead too i can relate; try the spanish version of this song and lay all your love on me by helloween too
This song has become an odd rock for me. I was jamming to it when I left for school stoked on the morning before an exam I'd studied so hard for. It stayed on repeat as I turned around my car hearing my small town had caught fire and was under mandatory evacuation. As I drove back up the hill, the smoke blocking out the early morning sun, thousands evacuating, it kept on playing. I made it back home just in time for my family to proclaim we had to evacuate asap. I got right back in my car and was too shocked to turn it off repeat. I listened to it as I panicked in my car, trying to evacuate with the masses, and then solemnly turned it off as I received the news that Paradise, California had been leveled in under four hours due to the massively spreading Campfire. Then, that night, as I unpacked my school bag and assessed what I now owned, I listened to it again sleeping on a couch at family friends home. Now, whenever I'm sad, or down, or depressed about the situation, I put it on again and remember the emotions of that day. Not just the sadness, I remember seeing my family, hugging my friends, the joy of calling loved ones and finding out they are ok. I remember bad things happen, but you should never let that destroy who you are. Get back up, get to work, choose your life, be happy. Finding out this used to be my mother's favorite song only makes it that much more meaningful to me. Thank you ABBA
I’m in 7th grade and since I was only 5 I used to listen to abba with my grandma. But now everyone listens to weird music like dance monkey. THIS IS QUALITY!!!! #bringbackabba
I’m amazed by the quality of these songs. They’re from 1980...whatever, but they still sound amazing. I don’t know what equipment was used to digitalize these songs, but anyways, great job, Craig Gagné!!
when I was 5 years old my dad would play this song in the car when driving me to kindergarten. 13 years later he played this song when driving me to college for the first time. Time flies, but I will always be his chiquita ❤️
ABBA, Credence Clearwater Revival, The Bee Gees… come on, special talented artists that touches multiple generations and created songs that will never die.
Aside from the extremely catchy rhythms and clever lyrics, I think the main thing about ABBA that stands the test of time is that their songs recognize that the world can oftentimes be absolute shit, but there's always the hope that things can and do get better, and they encourage us to work on taking steps to make ourselves and the world around us just a little bit better than we were yesterday. And all while telling us we should not be ashamed of how we feel in the meantime.
The sheer heavenly length of this glorious song, speaks volumes to the skill and artistry which is ABBA: they are not afraid to unfold a story over 2 full minutes longer than the average for the era - in pop music terms, half an eternity!!
My neighbours are both past 60 years old and they wonder why I always listen to songs that are from 70's and 80's me being 20. Little do they know that tiktok music university is bringing it all back
the piano at the end just makes me appreciate every single thing in the world
The piano at the end is transcendent, no doubt.
me too!
I also love that part Its breath taking man
yes.
It’s beautiful no doubt about that.But also this is one of those wonders social media does nowadays - you have seen so many Tik Tok videos and all of them associate this melody with beautiful moments so your mind works this way now when you hear this!
this song was played at my little cousins funeral, she was the tender age of 12. i miss her everyday, she will forever live in my heart❤️
im so sorry for your loss
im sorry for your loss, dude. that's really hard to handle
Oh im sorry for your loss
So sorry to hear that. Brave young woman. R.i.p.❤
❤️
The last 40 seconds of this song really butters my eggroll
Love it lol
I know this is an old comment but, you put butter on your egg rolls
@@Abigailkellum7 nah, it’s just a phrase I found online lol
Frrrrr ima need a song of just a out of tune piano
By the potatoes in my pantry, it butters my biscuits
I had to dedicate this song to myself. For years I was in a major slump of depression filled with drug and alcohol abuse. I was a walking deadman. When I heard these lyrics, something sparked and became alive inside of me. It had been so long since I had felt that hope. Abba rules. 2 years sober. To anyone who is going through it, know that there is hope!
congrats! never lose hope:)
Proud of you 💖💖💖
Congratulations!! So proud of you!!! Keep it up😌
I'm so proud of you!
im very proud of you !! ❤️❤️❤️
4:43 is probably the part everyone is looking for
U a real one chez burger
I WANNA LEARN HOW TO PLAY THAT ON A PIANO OMG
no
May your cheese never dry up.
Thanks
This song is a friend that we all need and deserve.
If you listen to the lyrics it spells out what we the world are currently going through with this very ugly covid-19 virus I hope that we can put behind ourselves and March on with life.
@@wtrskr59 I dont think they would have been able to predict the coronavirus.. This was made more then 11 years ago and they didnt intention to do that.
Kevin N 🙏
For real😭
i associate this song with my best friend
The friend we all need when struggling with depression.
Yes
The piano at the end makes me so overwhelmingly happy idk why
same it makes me DANCE
key word .. overwhelmingly 💪 i can relate been listening to it on repeat for a while now
literally it makes me happy cry

Same here brings back memories
Yeah this song is one of the trends TikTok got right
When everyone in the younger generations starts recognizing the brilliance of ABBA
Dam, were you part of my family because everything you said I went through as well🤙🏼
I wonder what it is about this song that attracts metal heads
I don't know, but there are a lot of comments from metal heads, so there's definitely something to it.
there is much power in this , thats all
Because it's a good song.
I have this song on my playlist between iron maiden (the loneliness of the long distance runner) and Judas priest (Nostradamus).
Mamma Mia - My name is Harry and this is my guitar on which Donna gave me. You see this name here? It's Harry Headbanger!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Watch The Postman, with Kevin Costner. There is a scene where the warmongering people get downright ANGRY at the movie that is playing showing Dolph Lundgren. They want, no they need to watch The Sound of Music. Same thing really.
We played this for our Mom (her favorite song), as we said our final goodbyes to her.... Jan 24, 2017. Life hasn't been the same since. I miss you, Mom.... I wish you were here. I hope you're flying once more... and singing a new song. I love you, from the bottom of my broken heart.
Sorry about your lost :(
Maybe your mom RIP
You have my sympathies sweetheart, it doesn't matter how old you are when you lose your mum it hits you like a freight-train, I lost my mum Oct 4, 2012 and you never truly get over it. Take care and best wishes.
Music is so powerful.. i cant even listen to songs i played at my fiance's funeral. This was my uncles favorite ABBA song.
I hope you’re doing well. I’m so sorry about your mom. The wonderful thing about music is that it allows memories to be captured in a song and you’ll always remember the feelings from that moment. Sending my love.❤️
Not me crying while hearing this song and reading the comments 😭😭
Y'all too?
GURL SAME-
We’re all in this together 😭
Me too 💯%
This going to be played at my babies funeral. She is 15 and she was a foster mom to 256 forever homes for Chihuahua Heaven dog rescue. She has doggy alzheimers and has 5 weeks to live at best. We are all crying. We know they don't live forever but we e still love them
This song is too beautiful to describe, like the band that sings it
Aw I'm so sorry about your dog 💙 Wish they could last forever
From 4:40 to the end is some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard.
I know right?!
the whole song is beautiful appriciate it
@@davidaguilar9376 you can have a favourite part of a song
@@davidaguilar9376 it’s completely normal to like piano solos in songs? literally everyone thinks this. it’s the best part and we appreciate it.
@@davidaguilar9376 people can have appreciation for whatever they choose. There are parts of songs that really stick out to people just let it be.
My aunt sang this to me when I used to cry since little. I miss her, she is the mom I had while growing up.💜
@dayanaVanDuzor Sorry for your lost😔
The harmonies in this song are unmatched. Especially the alto harmony on “cry” and it descends down the scale❤️
When I hear this song, it makes me think of my mom. She has passed away just shy of 2 years ago. She loved Abba. This was her favorite song. I love this song too. I am primarely a metal head, but I love this band. So much respect. i feel so connected. Thank you Abba for this masterpiece. This is for you Mama. I love you and I miss you
Jeroen Oomen
May she rest in peace man and thanks for sharing the memories.
It's beautiful.
I think I would be perfectly content to have my last moments on Earth accompanied by the piano outro of Chiquitita.
I feel like this song is the comforting and assuring hug from a maternal figure. Someone we have grown estranged or lost or have been far away from. We all have that one mom figure we either miss or we wish we had when listening to this song. May all those children who find comfort in this song regardless their age find peace and comfort and warmth in life ❤️
Never have two voices complemented each other so well as those of Agnetha's and Frida's.
Maybe the best backround vocal work in pop music history. Flawlessly written, executed, and produced.
The chorus in particular has to be one of the most incredible I've heard in a pop song, and agreed the vocal talent in general is amazing. It's depressing how untalented most of the pop stars are now compared to back then.
Umm, no.
@@tomjoad4551 umm, yes
ABBA was/is in a class all by themselves. Flawless is a good word for them.
I agree, I wish I knew what they were saying, it's hard to understand, but it adds so much depth to the song, truly beautiful genius!
"How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
"
They actually add an extra beat there. It's brilliant how good they've made it sound even though our brains usually consider that very illogical.
Definitely the most underrated Abba song, what a lovely song.
I’m from Mexico and I just know a little bit of English and even so this song makes me cry 😭 maybe because it reminds me of my childhood when I played with my dad, now we have grown apart, I feel like he stopped loving me like before. I miss him telling me chiquitita.
La finalé es excellente!
This is one of the most perfect beautiful things ever created
+Ben Upton I agree
Ben Upton. Beautiful
I agree. The Spanish version is even more poetic, linguistically. The expressions between languages are often lost in translation.
True
Ben Upton,You agly diying mud,getting to eternal pay.Thanks for opening mud,s feelings.You go away satisfied,I think.
Ok but i remember being 8 and not knowing the lyrics so i sung chicken tikka
This was the first song to play on my Spotify playlist after I had finally told my doctors about my mental health issues, it made me feel more hopeful in my future and myself than I have ever felt in my entire life! It made me tear up and I never cry. This is for sure my favorite song. 🥰
ABBA is timeless, I grew up listening to them, they’re a big staple of my childhood
Lyrics
Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
So the walls came tumbling down
And your love's a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Mhm, yes! Emotional resolution in music form, the freedom to celebrate after grief.🧡🎉

Whenever I hear this song, I think for the rest of my life, I will always think of the time little 16 year old me had just gotten my heart broken for the first time (like not even 10 minutes prior) and I had been venting to my coworker about how much it sucked, who in return was venting about his relationship problems.

i grew up listen to abba and this song was one of the various songs of my infancy. I'm happy to see that this actually is viral on tiktok
The ending makes me want to run away from everything in a huge field. Just running without a reason, a purpose or a destination. Just running free.
Not much of an ABBA fan but i remember when i was little my mom playing it in the car, and for some reason I thought Mama Mia was the lady on the raison boxes' theme song.
That's what I felt, too.
ABBA has always been my number one, and this song ALWAYS makes me cry, no matter the mood.
I feel empowered when I hear it, I remember everything I've overcome and it feels absolutely amazing.
How can you not?
Pure Greatness.
This very record was my first album. Bought for me by my dad's sister when I was 9. I'm now 49 and it's still lovely to listen to. My dad's now pased away and I still let this album take me back to when he was alive.
this song brings back memories from my childhood because this was my dad's favorite song.
where has the time gone?
Ariana Cardenas growing up in Europe this was so huge. I heard one song on the radio and had to listen to the entire album. What memories!
chiquittita is a spanish word that means little girl
Hehe I'm the 69th like
Where has the time gone now...
The ending is just purely full of melancholy. Sweet, but sorrowful. Happy, but sad. Stay gold, everyone. Stay gold.
This is more than just musical notes being played. Abba!
Getting goosebumps hearing this again, bunch of memories listening to my mom gladly and loudly this song while doing something, cleaning, cooking, and partying with huge parties in our little house. Bunch of drunk loving friends and family singing this, tons of good thoughts coming while hearing.
Their diction is just perfect (to me) I think that's just one of the things that made abba so very good, you can hear every syllable which is not so with a lot of other bands, musicians, and singers. The harmonies are magnificent, they will never be copied with any degree of success. (IMHO)
Sometimes when you sing in a language that isn't yours you pronounce better lol
In a class all by themselves. ABBA is unmatched.
I used to think this was a Christmas song when i was a kid. That piano at the end just sounds so... merry.
it is possible because in the music video its winter.
+Ingrid 521 well obviously. we see that at the end.
+Ingrid 521 are a man or woman?
+Ingrid 521 why u got a rubix cube on your head?

This reminds me of Mexican country music, definitely inspired by it when they made this song
Especially the beginning
@@Natalieim right! It definitely has a few different genres of mexican music not just country but One thing is for sure, give it Spanish lyrics and it will just be another Mexican mainstream song lol
@@waterfallsatdawn4547 yess, in the beginning it sounds like a mariachi song and Vicente could start singing at any moment
@@Natalieim right! First names that popped in my head was Him and Joan Sebastian lol
I mean the title is Chiquitita, it could definitely be inspired by Mexican country music lol
I think that Abba just have such a distinctive style.
IM SO GLAD ABBA IS GETTING RECOGNISED AGAIN ! I LISTEN TO ABBA SINCE I WAS 4 :>
My favorite Abba song. Reminds me of when I was a kid
Snap! My mum, my nephew and I used to dance to it together LOL
Same
This song reminds me of my grandmother. She was my biggest supporter. I did music as a child and into early adulthood but when depression took over I stopped. She was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 2015 and passed away in 2021. During that period I started playing for her again and it brought back a light I had been missing for a while. I also got to show her this song and hold her hand as it played. I miss her so much... ❤
I've honestly heard this song at least 200 times- no joke. It's still never gotten old. I adore this song
my UK grad school days...Abba was what we all sang and danced to late at night when we came home from the pub. so different from my LA home. miss those days
psychickitty1 great friend
I love All of their songs, but truly this one is my very favorite one of them all !!!
Chiquita = Little girl
A hug from Mexico
If there's a song by Abba, it's filled with feelings that just want to come out. I love this song so much!!!!!
To my dearest mother i will forever remember you with this song. i love you with all my heart. you couldn't have been a better mother to me and my brother. i wish i can express the love him and i feel for you. Its unconditional and we will never be against you only beside you till the very end. Your amazing and the most angelic figure of a human being.

thanks for making me shed a tear
Sholahuddin Sleman. I hope you mean Sweet!
Love this one and Fernando. Anni-Frid Lyngstad was definitely a calming voice.
Hearing this, I miss an old departed hippie friend who loved Abba. Almost all of their songs makes me long for something - - I don’t know what.
Listening to this as I write a particularly sad scene in my book, let’s just say I’m SOBBING 😭
I was the same this morning not writing just thinking a lot? I hear you buddy!
@@rockyphillips3594 aww I hope you’re better now! 💕
I need to hear this played by a mariachi band.
this is the song my mom and I shared. victims of an abusive father this was our theme
Thank GOD for the replay button!
As a Metal Head growing up in the 80's this type of music was strictly taboo (except for me). I hated the fact that I loved this band but it simply could not be helped. Almost everyone of their songs were so damn catchy. As some music genres come and go I think ABBA is that one band that holds some stamina. I don't think I am the only one to have a playlist of Metallica , Ozzy , AC/DC and ABBA. Well, maybe I am the only one but don't care.
Appreciated.
I'm usually an AC/DC and Green Day kind of person, but god damn, ABBA was great. From time to time I listen to their songs in endless loop. So, no, you're not alone :)
My ex boyfriend said Abba sucked. Notice how I it says ex. ;)
You are not the only one my friend. Props to you for being open minded. These guys were writing killer songs and had incredible production values. Those things cross genre boundaries.
You're not- and I'm black...:) So good...
One of the most underrated piano songs ever
I'm strictly a metal head (gorgoroth, behemoth,Infant Annihilator,belphagor) stuff like that. But damn I cannot deny it , abba is so awesome. Don't know why but this past month I have just been binge listening to them.
ddjdd wfgggb agree to disagree...Metal will always be my preference. Though I enjoy all types of music
there is a lot of metalheads who really enjoy abba songs, just look at all comments on this playlist.., i know we have our own taboo of keep it only metalish but abba's musical composition were ahead of time, the songs never gets old, specially this one
as a blackmetalhead too i can relate; try the spanish version of this song and lay all your love on me by helloween too
Trinity Irvin Wow you’re pretty cute too.
there is no way can deny ittttttt lol the lyrics
Lol. ABBA is definitely a guilty pleasure
ABBA’s song writing was superior
My grandma loved ABBA , we would listen to it at the farm as kids with her
This song has become an odd rock for me. I was jamming to it when I left for school stoked on the morning before an exam I'd studied so hard for. It stayed on repeat as I turned around my car hearing my small town had caught fire and was under mandatory evacuation. As I drove back up the hill, the smoke blocking out the early morning sun, thousands evacuating, it kept on playing. I made it back home just in time for my family to proclaim we had to evacuate asap. I got right back in my car and was too shocked to turn it off repeat. I listened to it as I panicked in my car, trying to evacuate with the masses, and then solemnly turned it off as I received the news that Paradise, California had been leveled in under four hours due to the massively spreading Campfire.
Then, that night, as I unpacked my school bag and assessed what I now owned, I listened to it again sleeping on a couch at family friends home.
Now, whenever I'm sad, or down, or depressed about the situation, I put it on again and remember the emotions of that day. Not just the sadness, I remember seeing my family, hugging my friends, the joy of calling loved ones and finding out they are ok.
I remember bad things happen, but you should never let that destroy who you are. Get back up, get to work, choose your life, be happy.
Finding out this used to be my mother's favorite song only makes it that much more meaningful to me. Thank you ABBA
Ι am 51 years old and still i hear rock of 60's and 70's.........but i love ABBA
I'm currently 5 months pregnant and this is going to my first child, I'm going to dedicate this song to my little girl. 💕
Congratulations on being a new momma 😁
Shouldn't you be dedicating your little girl to this song? ^_^
@@Lycanthromancer1 like an offering? 🤣
@@TCt83067695 There are worse things.
its all about love
I’m in 7th grade and since I was only 5 I used to listen to abba with my grandma. But now everyone listens to weird music like dance monkey. THIS IS QUALITY!!!! #bringbackabba
I’m amazed by the quality of these songs. They’re from 1980...whatever, but they still sound amazing. I don’t know what equipment was used to digitalize these songs, but anyways, great job, Craig Gagné!!
They sound even better on vinyl without being digitalized.
The beautiful thing is, it wasn't digitized. This is REAL.
What's wrong with music from the eighties?
when I was 5 years old my dad would play this song in the car when driving me to kindergarten. 13 years later he played this song when driving me to college for the first time. Time flies, but I will always be his chiquita ❤️
Depending on your mood this song will bring tears or absolute joy. Love it!!!!
i can't stop dancing, i love Abba forever and ever!!!💕💕
ABBA, Credence Clearwater Revival, The Bee Gees… come on, special talented artists that touches multiple generations and created songs that will never die.
Le groupe qui demeure au sein des esprit, le souvenir de la qualité durant plusieurs années, de la musique suédoise.
Thank GOD for the replay button!

How did we live before we had the ability to repeat recorded music?!
Thank you ABBA. Thank you for the joy in my heart when I listen. I hope you four and your families live long and happy, healthful lives.
The piano and guitar is awesome in this.
This song reminds me of my mother, she passed away when I was 8 and it really brought me down so I listen to this to bring me up💗
1:44 aways gives me life. Long live ABBA!
Aside from the extremely catchy rhythms and clever lyrics, I think the main thing about ABBA that stands the test of time is that their songs recognize that the world can oftentimes be absolute shit, but there's always the hope that things can and do get better, and they encourage us to work on taking steps to make ourselves and the world around us just a little bit better than we were yesterday. And all while telling us we should not be ashamed of how we feel in the meantime.
I have my older brother to thank for the love of ABBA, and especially this song. Makes me feel so much nostalgia & happiness.
My dad used to play this song for me in his guitar when I was small, it made me cry, still does 😭🥺
The harmony and rapid change in octaves is pretty damn cool...
It sounds cliche, but they really don't make music this good anymore. It's a shame.
+Isaac Gordon Ah, Isaac, my friend, they've done enough.
+Isaac Gordon As long as we can still hear these songs, everything's good :')
+Isaac Gordon Well nowadays people aren't listening to music from Sweden.
^ unless it's ABBA
Isaac Gordon is HANDSOMMEEEEE... YEEY!
The sheer heavenly length of this glorious song, speaks volumes to the skill and artistry which is ABBA: they are not afraid to unfold a story over 2 full minutes longer than the average for the era - in pop music terms, half an eternity!!
I can't believe I'd never heard this song until today....absolutely glorious, omg...
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri ! This movie is a masterpiece.
My neighbours are both past 60 years old and they wonder why I always listen to songs that are from 70's and 80's me being 20. Little do they know that tiktok music university is bringing it all back
Amazing! 30 years and ahead...!
This was my grandmas favorite song. May she Rest In Peace
There will never be another band like Abba; so amazing! Especially this song; LOVE!!! ❤️💕❤️💕💗
2k19 still hear 👂🏾 dis voice of My Angel 👼 @ABBA
Always loved dancing to ABBA
Listening to ABBA anytime of the year feels like Christmas.
