    Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at a recommendation made by all of you with ABBA Voyage two new songs "I Still Have Faith In You" and "Don't Shut Me Down."

      As good as it is I wouldn' say that this is better than anyone else today. Michael Kiwanuka last album is a masterpiece. Best album of last 10 years with James Dean Bradfield Even in Exile close second, The Waterboys , Black Pumas, The Villagers last album etc There is so much beautifu musicl still being created but unfortunately it ' s not mainstream so it''s not played on the radio.

      @@eroy66 Those bands you talk about are not mainstream because they didn't produce MAGIC like this. I studied as a musician and I can tell you it has always been this way that the greatest music gets acknowledged and then transcends time. That's why the Beatles are still so popular and this goes back through the centuries. We still listen to Wagner, Mozart, Bach, Debussy and on and on. Music like this never goes away yet all the bands you mention absolutely will. It's the way it is.

    I don’t know if other people feel this but I feel I’ve got my childhood back and I’m in the very best moments of the late 70s/early 80s and it’s very emotional. The first track is so very bittersweet and tugs at the heart, the second tells a hopeful story but is so upbeat and just joyous. I’ve cried way too much but they’re all tears of joy. Just an amazing, not comeback but continuation of the ABBA legend.

      It's truly incredible how ABBA hasn't skipped a beat. You could tell me that this was produced 40 years ago, and I wouldn't doubt you. What brings me joy is how dynamic it sounds. When music is that complex and layered, I find it so much more soulful. It strikes me at my core with its raw beauty.

    I've always thought the real tragedy of the breakup is that - The guy's never found singers who interpreted their work so well. And the girls have never found songwriters that could write songs so tailor made for them. When their working together there is a synergy or magic or whatever you want to call it - ABBA. Well done Agnetha. Well done Bjorn. Well done Benny. Well done Anni-Frid. Well done ABBA. You've just proved again no other band even comes close.

      Björn and Benny have been very active throughout all these years, producing tons of good songs. Two muscials (Chess and "Kristina från Duvemåla"), folktunes (for example: th-cam.com/video/B6ITCSkf9iQ/w-d-xo.html), Benny wrote this wonderful tune for a Swedish popband: th-cam.com/video/8iv5N8vuydY/w-d-xo.html and then several hits (in Swedish though) for Benny´s own band (Björn wrote the lyrics BAO) with a fantastic singer, Helen Sjöholm.

      @@mattias5157 Agreed, but the point being made is that there's not been any singer able to interpret their songs the way Frida and Agneta do, and there's not been any songwriters able to write songs for them to be interpreted this way. I completely agree with this. It there had been the music they have all put out without each other would be as widespread as ABBAs music, and not one single song has. Not because they haven't been writing as good songs or recording as good songs, but because there is an every dynamic created when they all come together. Just as with all successful bands.

Frida's low register is lower, as is Agnetha's. But they have depth with the maturity. Bjorn and Benny created masterpieces of emotions. True for each of them and true for us. And those ABBAtars are breathtaking. Listening live was fabulous and listening to several interviews with B&B was insightful. What a great moment. Counting the days till Nov 5th.

    Both songs are absolute perfection. I Still Have Faith In You is written by Bjorn in respect of how the group still feel about each other as humans and musicians. 'Dont Shut Me Down' is also pretty autobiographical. Its about Agnetha's return to ABBA, a sort of saying goodbye to her human form and becoming an ABBAtar. Extremely clever lyrics from Bjorn. Bennys production values and musicianship is perfect for whatever genre he's dabbling in but when these four work together, theres magic.Frida voice on I Still Have Faith is pristine and once those girls start harmonising, it blows my mind. These songs are as unique as every other song they have ever done. I am so proud of these 4 humble, non-egotistical human beings.I should also add well done Dereck, you're really starting to identify Agnetha and Fridas voices now :)

    YES! ABBA is back and this priceless sound is with real instruments, not computer generated music from a laptop and open source software! No other band, group, artist, etc has had such an influence upon millions and millions of people worldwide like ABBA has. Even those who are not fans, still enjoy an ABBA song when it's played in a movie. Their music brings such a positive uplifting emotional response to everyone, even with their sad lyrics, people get tears of joy. With the way things are today and all of the negativity no matter what direction you turn, their timing is impeccable! #ABBAisback is definitely what the world so badly needed!! In my humble opinion, ABBA has surpassed the Beatles as the all time greatest band ever. Longtime loyal fans are flooded with emotions and a sigh of relief from constantly wondering "will they ever get back together again?" And, it's safe to say ABBA will bridge the gap and bring on a new era of fans from the younger generation of people that are finally getting to experience them more than just via a video. If I was able to have the chance to say something directly to the members of ABBA, it would be "Not just thank you for the music, but thank you for giving us MORE music!"

    I was afraid Frida would be rusty at 75 after decades out of the business and the public eye... but by "I see it now" it was clear - she sounds better than ever. There's a warmth and sincerity that was lacking back in the day and was the reason why Agnetha was always the go-to for the ballads. Between the two big never-gonna-happen-reunions this year (the other being Friends of course), this one made it worth the wait by actually going forward instead of only looking back. Respect!

      I would say that Agnetha is a brilliant storyteller for sure, but Frida’s performance in Like An Angel and When All is Said and Done prove she also could break your heart with her beautiful emotive voice. Her life has been so tragic that it’s audible in her voice now. I hear a real gravitas and pathos now. Also check out her recording of The Sun Will Shine Again, which was written for her after her daughter and husband both died tragically within the span of a year.

But she recorded a Spanish version of Andante, Andante with Arturo Sandoval in 2018 and she sounds just as beautiful and perfect as ever.

From when I was a teenager and they were very uncool they taught me all the emotions from love and regret, sadness to pure joy. Many people have commented the lyrics are about how they feel about each other, which is probably true, but in classic Abba style I believe they are also a direct message to their loyal fans, and I just want to say to you 4 beautiful humans....

    Masterpiece lyrics and brilliant music with Frida and Agnetha voices making it sound to perfection

    I think what's so profound about these songs and ABBA itself is that they sort of give us a glimpse of a lifetime coming into full circle, something most of us on TH-cam will not probably experience for many more decades. And something very few, if any, groups of the past have either lived long enough or stayed together long enough to revelate on.

    That i still experience this is a gift.🎁🎉
    Tears when they stopped and now when they come back after 40 years.😭
    My feeling is that this will be a mega success.🌹💖

    So very fabulous! I felt like I did in my 20s when ABBA was last performing. Amazing music. So rich, lyrical, and beautiful. Happy disco-inspired and that ballad. I look forward to the album. I also applaud the high technical future virtual stage show with holographic images. Will be superb!

    When I heard that piano come in at 13:50, my heart leapt. 'Yes, they're back!' As a lifelong Abba fan, this feels emotional and took me right back to being younger again listening to this amazing group - those voices, those melodies, the instrumentation. What a great day!

    Funny ! Because back in the late 70's it was kinda un-cool to like Abba and i was at Art College and people said scorning" You like ABBA ??" i said "Yes ! they're brilliant - fck off ! "

    This is the most incredible comeback I’ve seen. I’m just amazed. I’ve heard Don’t shut me down like 50 times now. Repeat, repeat, repeat. These old fucks just took the whole music scene to school.

      It's that final statement from her at the very end of the song that completely strikes me directly through the heart. Extraordinary. Just goes to show how far everything has fallen for this to shine through as a beacon of real talent. I don't doubt that there is talent out there, but we never hear about it, and we often don't have time to seek it out.

    ABBA. Thease four individuals
    are out of this world.
    They can do no wrong.
    I can't believe they have been away for some 40 years and their back.
    And they don't disappoint.
    The voices are still there and they
    sound fantastic.
    The two new tracks are fantastic
    I love both of them.
    Can't wait for the album.

    They certainly know how to make a comeback…the campaign, the launch and then…the songs! This has to be the greatest comeback in musical history. It’s an event. It’s all perfect and the new sounds breathe new life into the world. Both songs showcase longevity and continued musical genius!

    I started crying for joy listening to these songs - stronger tears than when I heard they had broken up in 1982. They simply fill my heart and soul with joy.

    Hearing this a few days ago whilst watching the video (I Still Have Faith in You) actually made me quite emotional. I couldn't be happier. What a phenomenon they are. What a band.
