Don’t Shut Me Down - ABBA - Luc LeMans (Cover)

[@LucLeMans]

Hey, everyone! Wanted to say thanks so much for all the lovely feedback on this cover - my suspicions were correct, ABBA fans are really nice😄

[@nilsfearon1]

We are a rare breed x

[@LucLeMans]

@@nilsfearon1 haha very true!😆

[@elo_4ever634]

We are, thank you! Your cover is brilliant....... and we've waited 40 years for ABBA and we're almost there (05.11.21) Voyage is underway :)

[@LucLeMans]

​@@elo_4ever634 Thanks so much! Yep, not long 'til the voyage!😄

[@miroslavhokes626]

The instrumental passages are too long (more like in some songs of Boney M, guess...:-D). And now and then you don't know lyrics correctly... ;-)

[@paulkelley5269]

As a 70yr old Abba fan it warms my heart to see the young generation appreciate this music. Very nicely done.

Hey thanks so much, Paul - that really means a lot!

@@LucLeMans ever thought of making a rocking version of RING OF ICE by Jennifer Rush ? i believ it can sound great

[@LucLeMans]

@@Didigeneral Thanks for the recommendation! Just listening to it now, what a cool song😄 I'll put it on the list!

[@Didigeneral]

@@LucLeMans I am sure with your own rocking style you can give it a different touch..maybe even I COME UNDONE by same artist.. I feel it can be done in a style like Amy MacDonald use to perform her songs.

[@LucLeMans]

@@Didigeneral Thanks, I'll check that one out too! (I'm a fan of Amy Macdonald as well!😄)

Don't Shut Me Down, Lyrics:
A while ago I heard the sound of children's laughter
Now it's quiet, so I guess they left the park
This wooden bench is getting harder by the hour
The sun is going down, it's getting dark
I realize I'm cold
The rain begins to pour
As I watch the windows on the second floor
The lights are on, it's time to go
It's time at last to let him know
I believe it would be fair to say
You look bewildered
And you wonder why I'm here today
And so you should, I would
When I left I felt I'd had enough
But in the shape and form I appear now
I have learned to cope
And love and hope is why I am here now
And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down
I'm not the one you knew
I'm now and then combined
And I'm asking you to have an open mind
I'm not the same this time around
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
Will you leave me standing in the hall
Or let me enter?
The apartment hasn't changed at all
I got to say I'm glad
Once these rooms were witness to our love
My tantrums and increasing frustration
But I go from mad
To not so bad in my transformation
And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down
I'm not the one you knew
I'm now and then combined
And I'm asking you to have an open mind
I'm not the same this time around
I'm fired up, don't shut me down
You asked me not to leave
Well, here I am again
And I love you still and so I won't pretend
I have learned to cope
And love and hope is why I am here now

This is ABBAbsolutely fabulous! By listening to your cover I got to notice how similar ABBA sounds to the latest (so far) release by Daft Punk feat. Nile Rodgers. Pure late '70s magic + 21st Century technology!

This is actually how Abba recorded music getting each musician to play separately then overlay them. You can hear the distinct tracks of each layer on their music

[@LucLeMans]

I didn't know that - very cool! 😄

@@LucLeMans sometimes I listen to Abba like that, just pick out one instrument and you can hear a separate track just with that musician playing
