Abba - Just like that (for me the best version ;-) )

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
- Please don't take it too serious, when I announce the song as the best version FOR ME. There are so many versions which propose "improved audio", "enhanced quality". They took some changes with EQing and some Noice Reduction. I did my own step-by-step work. And there is no KI involved. And so I like it. If you do, too, it would be nice. If you don't, keep respectful. Comments with rude speech are not respectful and will be deleted.
Thanks for all your kind words and the critical words, too. There are 363 thumbs up at the moment and one thumb down. I know, that this is the holy grail piece of music for all ABBA Fans obviously. And so far as I read the comments, some like the Sax Version more, some don't like Saxophon at all. For a musician like me, I must say, I love saxophon where it fits. But it's the same with horns and marimba, organs and so on. There is a very good saxophon version on youtube, too. I tried to hold on to the "na na na"-Version and because I like the saxophon-version as well (it's a complete different version, for example with drums and bass) so I put it in the outro. For the guys or girls who put the thumbs down: please let me know what might have been to be improved. Keep Abba-ing and stay well ;-) !
First, thanks a million for posting this. It's the highest sonic quality I've heard for this song. I'd echo most of the positive comments. My only critiques would be: I find the drums a bit too forward, just a bit unbalanced to the point I have to try and actively ignore them to concentrate on the vocals. Also, I hate the sax version and prefer the na na na version by far (sax on almost all ABBA songs are a low point IMO). Fortunately you didn't "spoil" the song with too much sax and if it had to go anywhere, the outro best 🙂
@@QuintEssential-sz2wn Hi. Thanks for your words. Well the drums… I remembered the very powerful drums in ONE OF US. So I put them (in your words) forward. and yes, I am a drummer, too. when you mix a band in a studio , there are as many special wishes to „what needs more foreground“ as musicians ;-). Best regards 😊
@@ruedili68 "I am a drummer, too." Ahh...that explains it then 🙂 I'm a keyboardist and would probably want to push my keyboards in a mix.
@@QuintEssential-sz2wnOK
i love that you combine both version..i was thinking of it too.
A masterpiece that has been overlooked for decades for no apparent reason.
Benny thinks its mid.
Trust me, those 2 idiots B&B don't need a reason to be down on their songs-there's a long list of what they don't like, it's a wonder they ever completed anything. Couldn't even keep the original part of the 2nd verse in 'Dancing Queen' or repeating a 1st verse in 'When All Is Said And Done' nor the extra bit in 'On And On And On', and dumping a whole important verse in 'I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do', which would have been their earliest longest song had they been normal. They're aggravating.
@@franciscovencedor1785 I think he's mid!
Benny said at the q&a at the 2nd year anniversary that it isn’t a bad song…so who knows it will be finished and released eventually at some point? Maybe Ludvig can persuade them…😁
@@kyachdistent1301 Seems You have a real bad day. Hope that You feel better tomorrow.
they had a such a big opportunity to release this on Abba Voyage, it was disappointing they didn't. So thanks for your version...
En su lugar grabaron Just to notion
Yes, but they were never going to do that, cos that's what B&B are like. Anyway, it wouldn't fit any other album, it is of its time and it needed to be with the OTHER songs made from 1982, so they should have put it out as a B-side to the single releases from the album-THAT was where they typically messed up all right. But considering "Voyage" is far beneath the outstanding quality of the "Opus 10" material, which I complete by adding the 4 CHESS singles to it, not least the wonderful 'Nobody's Side-'CHESS's most underrated song, which is so meant to be Frida's fiery vocals when angry-even Elaine Paige said (who sang it) that she felt she was singing "somebody else's song". But thank God she did, otherwise we'd never have it, would we?
They could release this now. And include it in the next lineup for Voyage. Wouldn't that be a gift to Abbaholics all over the Universe. The vocals are about as incredible as you will ever hear from the Ladies. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Benny and Bjorn have sadly repeatedly declined to ever release the full version of Just Like That, mainly because they felt the verse and chorus did not "fit together". They could easily have released it on the Voyage album if they'd so desired. It's a shame but it's up to them. I think it's a great track, myself.
BOTH A & A like it very much. Well, boys...?!?!
@@argyessOh it so does though. The song with an alternative set of verses was produced for Gemini and The Webb, but definitely not as good in my opinion
It will never happen.They have already made a updated version of the song with another group so there is no reason for them to go back to the version they did not like.
Just shows how good a catalogue of songs ABBA have when a song loke this didn't make their hit list 😳 incredible quality of music from these 4 people ❤🎉
But a very aggravating notion, and it's nor impressive these two blokes act like this, when they haven't made that much music in the first place compared to others, not that that matters seeing as too much output tends to be mean much of becomes worthless, and people like Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys need to know this. It's very unfair on, not just us, but the girls, who go out of their way to deliver outstanding vocalisations on each and everything they record. Agnetha has already said she'd like it out as it's a nice song and that the public should have it, but it is not down to her and Frida.
Ive never in my wildest dreams understood why Bjorn and Benny wouldnt release Just like that, its simply a pop masterpiece????
Probably because they gave the song to Gemini and they recorded. I don't like their version very much, th-cam.com/video/eHUHKNKbVqE/w-d-xo.html I prefer this one, the Nanana version. Love it
@@Angel-bn2xn ive heard it before, but why not release it now?
@@Angel-bn2xn I despise the Gemini version.
@@ImpossibleCaseEdits I don't like it either, but since it was recorded and released I guess Bjorn and Benny thought that was it
This is a fantastic song. I adore ABBA. 😊
I LOVE Just like that ❤️💜❤️💜
Beautiful vocal by Agnetha
It sounds complete now fantastic
For ABBA Fans... there is no need to ask Benny & Bjorn for an official to re-record this Masterpiece for us. What we have here is already a gem by itself.
It's an utterly redundant point-those two fools aren't in the slightest bit EVER revisiting a song they've both long declared "poor" and "intentionally unfinished"-added to this, once they'd reworked it for the Gemini debut, they then released an inane statement defending its virtual damnation to oblivion with the declaration that "2 songs so virtually identical yet still so markedly different can't both be on general release to the public". So there you go, all you rioters clamouring for the ABBA one, go take it up with them.
This is a beautiful version and I agree that it is the best one so far. And yes, no need for any official release after hearing this version.
In my top 10 of Abba songs. Never understood why Benny & Bjorn wouldn’t release it, not even release it as a b side considering they released You Owe Me One & Two For The Price Of One to name of couple of mediocre songs in my opinion. Agnetha said she liked the song very much & hoped it would be released one day.. Please Benny & Bjorn, as a gift to your millions of fans please release this holy grail of unreleased songs..
Two for the price of one is not a mediocre song
@@michaelrochester48 that’s why I said ‘in my opinion’
And "Another you, another me". According to Agnetha, the song should be completely finished.
@@rainergille wasn’t that song given to Gemini, it appears on their cd. Done after 82.. Are u saying Abba completed ‘Another You, Another Me’ or they should complete it?
@@clay9185 Yes, I mean this song. I read that Agnetha said in an interview that the song was completely produced with her voice. I mean it was on the German or rather international ABBA-side. When I listen to Gemini's version, I always imagine what the song would sound like with Agnetha's voice: a masterpiece!!!
Das ist doch eine super Version von "Just Like that", richtig toll, einmalig, warum haben Frida, Agnetha, Benny und Björn nicht diese Version veröffentlicht??
♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️, ganz herzlichen Dank!!
What is this sorcery? It’s the NaNaNa version but with extra orchestration? And my goodness, the vocals are so clear! This has blown my mind. I can die a happy man. Wow!!!! Mind officially blown. 🤯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I wish I knew the ‘ingredients’ that went into this, but maybe that would ruin the magic. I actually could believe this was an official finished track from an alternative universe.
Well, thanks for your words. I tried to finalize the Song in a way I wished ABBA would have. The ingredients are some tiny little additional sounds, some modest sound engineering skills and the most important thing: the love to the track. "Every good man" will come next as another unfinished song. Best regards !!
Lovely.
Agreed!!!! ❤
I heard a non-nana version once like this, but this is much clearer!
Wonderful, wonderful song ! I like terible sax version too 🥰❤️❤️
Classic ABBA - cant believe it wasn't released ?
Stunning quality. What a song.What a mix.
Странно Вы опоздали с предложение лет на40
Omg,,,,those voices are actually angels to me,❤❤.
I Love this song!!
❤ ABBA Always!
Unbelievably gorgeous abba will continue to be one of my favorite groups ever so so sad this isn’t released 😢
You did a great job with ABBAs hidden gem from 1982. Yuu did it "just like that"
Согласен, из того, что известно мне, эта версия звучит чище и из-за чёткого бэк вокала выигрывает. Спасибо за возможность сравнивать.😊😊😊👍
Great song for "unreleased" list! I remember BB said it was strange, they thought the verses and the refrain were alike taken from different songs.
Sometimes as being musician I listen JLT again and again and understand what they meant. But the song is so grateful in whole. No doubt it cold be on Voyage
Hello Abba Fans.
Many of you can't understand the reason why they didn't record this beautiful song on an album. In an interview Benny told us the reason why. There is another unknown song from Abba that most of you have probably never heard before and that song is similar to "Just like that". Some sequences and passages in both songs seem to be the same. So they had a problem with the identity of the song "Just like that". Benny said that they tried to repair it in the music studio but according to him it didn't work. And therefore they didn't want to make a record of it. Check Abba's unknown song "When the waves roll out to sea."
Nobody cares, screw what they think, we want it. 😂😂😂
@@zinlucascamargo Agree, even though the lyrics doesn't fit with each other, and even B&B doesn't have any plan to release this song, this song is still good and nobody will change my mind.
It is, to me, just so amazing how their voices blend so perfectly together…they sound almost like just ONE voice!
I could listen to that “voice”
“on and on and on”….
I am firmly convinced this is just Agnetha. I simply cannot detect Frida's voice on it.
@@srenjensen5735exactly, this song was only released by Aghneta singing all the voices .
@normaerb5825 .... this is what they refer to when they say it's the third vocal in there! ...really concentrate and listen behind the vocals and you'll hear Frida's lower octave, she's definitely in there!....i love all the informative comments here, I'm a drums, percussion and bass guitar fan and it does pain me to say this, but i agree that the drums are more in the forecourt but all i do is change the settings in my ear pods and we're good to go... take care. 🤗
The close harmonies in this is just so awesome!
I can’t stop listening to this song…such close harmony! 💕
That Is To Understand, Abba ,Is Abba.!!!
This is such a great song - would probably be one of ABBA’s biggest hits if it had been released. Hoping it will be one day!
No it wouldn't, any more than all their last single releases of that time were, by that time the stupid UK public, and others, were being ridiculously uninterested in ABBA with their best stuff, about the only group who ever gave up the ghost at the height of their creative and brilliant powers. It's even more criminal that 'Cassandra', 'I Am The City' and 'You Owe Me One' weren't singles considerations, especially the first 2.
Its a gem of a song absolutely beautiful
this is not just a song. this is a masterpiece of composition and performance. incredible. hope they will release this soon. it's never too late ;-)
Хорошая музыка наполняет сердце и душу счастьем.
I've never heard this before and I am a huge Fan of ABBA since I am 13 years old 🎉❤ beutiful song ❤❤
0:11 The guitar solo plays the same notes as Angnetha sings in "Under Attack".
yes . one reason why the song is not released by B&B
I love it! Those vocal harmonies, hmmmm.
Superb the best version ever, whatever magic has been applied its done a grand job, i know Frida's voice is absent but in the chorus its as though she is. Love the sax at thr end not overly done which is just right. Such a good song by our heroes, 10/10 😊
you listened very carefully. Thanks for your kind words
Frida's vocals are in the chorus on the sax version and she is doing backing vocals on the second verse she is 100% featured on the recording of 'Just Like That'.
This makes me weep with joy. What a song. Thank you so much for the upload. 😢
Gli Abba non si discutono tutto o niente amore infinito❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ура! Ура! Ура! рыцарям песен, свободы, радости, новых песен🌹🌹👍👍💚😍
I'm a HUGE fan of ABBA and I agree with you, their vocals are clear and the music isn't muddled. If ABBA does not release this an engineer should try cleaning this version up and present it to the world. The only mix I liked other than this is the Matt Pop remix.
Matt Pop is a Genius. I like his Abba-Mixes a lot. But there are a lot of Abbafans which don't like his versions. I tried to give my remix the most possible Abba-Style in my opinion. Thanks for your words 🙂
God no remixes ruin the original recording
It would be great if they released this as their last song ! Always hopeful of a surprise 😮
Почему????
@user-lv4dh1mg2h Because its Stunning!!!!!
Ah wait for music to come soon not old but new!
This is an absolutely fantastic version. Thanks from a Abba fan since 1974.😀
What a gem screaming RELEASE ME!!! Thank you for sharing. Pure perfection🤗🤗🤗🤗
This is an incredibly beautiful song!! I wish they would release it soon!❤❤❤❤
Ive never heard this song in my life?? Love it !!
I love it, thank you much, so grateful for your work in making this a finished complete song. This song would have been a hit and to this day just cannot understand why the band did not finish / release this tune.
Don't know that any Abba fan can work out why B &B refused to release JLT, so what if its got riffs from Under Attack, which in my opinion was far less appealing. Had Abba released this in 82 it would have been a big hit for them, along with The Day Before you came at no 1 ❤
@@lawrencecolwell5527 totally sgree
TDBYC *was* released ... and wasn't a huge hit. Even now in the days of streaming it is still kind of a flop. Fans live in their own fantasy world.
Осознание мелодии придёт позже
Do you know what, I actually don't think you're wrong at all, this is the clearest and fullest and most embodied sounding one yet. In fact, my only niggle is one that I don't think anyone can help in trying to upload this in its most complete form, and that it seems to cut off and fade too early into abruptness. But I'm not sure anyone can avoid, so all power to you for making it appear so beautiful. I took the longest version I could find about 13years ago, it ran to 5:08; naturally, with me I want the longest version possible, as ABBA are dreadful when it comes to cutting songs-they take something that's often too short already and then shave it even more, as they done with many official songs.
While this did for me for ages, and I still love it, it is admittedly rather flat in too many ways, and while it got to past 5mins, it obviously faded a bit too abruptly, and it was not the na-na-na version either, and there was no sax, as I felt it was not needed, but on this, I agree the sax so works, and it comes in at the right moment too. I love what you've done, I've heard many little tricks, like going into the chorus sounds so natural, there's far more beef to this one, while retaining its elegance and tragedy and mournfulness. I look forward to keeping it if possible.
This may not be fair to "Under Attack" but every time I hear a different version of 'Just Like That' knowing that all they were able to salvage from it was "Under Attack", I want to weep. Every rough cut version of 'Just Like That' just blows ' Under Attack" out of the water. 'Just Like That' deserved better if I'm being honest.
Agreed!! Under Attack not a patch on this. Guys I love you but you should have released this as a single ❤
@@janparish7895 Under Attack is one of ABBA's best songs its extremely catchy and underrated
@AdamDawson3 We'll have to agree to disagree Adam. I can't bear U.A. But it's OK. We all have our different opinions and that's as it should be.
"Under Attack" borrows more heavily from "Rubber Ball Man"/"Under My Sun" than "Just Like That", which reuses one guitar riff.
i agree! Under attack should just be a B-side not even an Album song. because even their previous album's song is better! Its like they want to fail on purpose.
WOW best version indeed! this is on a loop WHOLE NIGHT!!!
If you want to feel better, listen to ABBA. Get a dose of love.❤
It’s ABBA treasure you can’t measure 🤔👍
Love this song girls are brilliant singer only abba can sound like abba they ireplaceable ❤
I agree with many of the comments here - it's probably my favorite ABBA song, but I doubt it'll ever see the light of (release) day. B and B didn't like it back in the day - and so they scrapped it for parts. It's interesting to hear bits of it floating by in other songs (Under Attack, being notable) and then the full rewrite also called "Just Like That" performed by the duo Gemini. The refrain found its way into another song called "When the Waves Roll Out to Sea" which was considered for Chess. At this point, this gem of a song has been turned into somewhat of a reverse-Frankenstein and may be unsalvageable.
Fantastic song big abba fan from almost the start since about 1976 when I first got into music. Play them almost always on you tube, spotify and my shows on internet radio. This song definately should’ve been released.
one of five of my all time favourites from my all time favourite group.
thanks for your hard work, great job.
loved it.
and i had never noticed that at 0.11 the sample from 'under attack'. cool.
thanks for posting,
love and peace to you and all,
xxxxxxx
❤ Ein toller Song. Wie alle von ABBA ❤❤❤❤
I think it is amazing! You have done a great job! Specially Benny, but also Agneta, Frida and Bjorn would be very pleased!
Great version is autentic these voices!!!!!
Abba forever❤❤❤❤.
Great job
Inma
I love it sooooo much 😍😍😍😍
This is really the best song of their last years in 1980s. It just is.
I consider it their best song - period!
YES, IT IS!!!! And in a a very fine sound quality! 👍👍👍👍👍
ABBA will never release this now but I am waiting/expecting to hear the other two new songs that didn't make it onto Voyage as they needed more tweaking in the studio by Benny. He said they were ''good'' & IMO that means that the're very good.
Rapaz, sem palavras p essa canção. Chega assustar de tão linda q é canção. Abba o sempre.
Parece que nao colocaram esta música no álbum, fizeram mal pois penso que seria mais um sucesso . ABBA para sempre ! 👍
This is such a beautiful song with wonderful vocals by Agnetha and Frida. Benny and Bjorn for some reason don't rate this a good song. It is so catchy and i can't get it out of my head. Maybe if Benny and Bjorn are ashamed of this wonderful song and don't want Abba's name on it. They could change their name to Steve and Dave and put the record out by ASDA. Just a thought. I am a professional Saxophonist, and i'm not keen on the Sax Version. Just a load of busy notes. More soul from the Sax i think. If they want i'll do the sax for them. I have worked with McCartney and Wings. lol.x
Hi, thanks for your comment. The Sax-Solo is played by Raphael Ravenscroft , the guy who played the signature-intro of Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street.
I can respect why they didn't want it released. Be happy with what we got. 🙏
And why's that then?
@@BlackRose22998 I'm not sure what you're asking????
This is the best version ive ever heard. Thank you for pain steakingly creating this remastered piece. Blessings to you !!!❤😊 2
Probably the best version i ve heard! ♥️ Benny / Bjorn please release it 🙌🏼
Maravillosa!!!! Calidad óptima y versión completa. Un 10!!
Excellence at the Best, FABULOUS. ! The 4 of you are very Special! Thanks for sharing your gift! Forever touched by your music!
You put together the three versions of Just Like That -the slow, the na-na, and the sax version-, and this is just gold. Thank you
I love this. Only heard it for the first time yesterday. 😊❤
Last days I often listen this wonderful "na-na-na" & another parts of this beautiful song)
Really, original version of this superhit.
I know they didn't like it, I do, but have you noticed they simply used part of the chords in "Under Attack"? They didn't like the versus, but kept some of the chords for another song. This particular version is lovely!
Wow so much better then the released version
Wow.... Such a beautiful song, thanks for sharing it 🙏🏻
I love this version.❤
Na na na version is also good. Actually na na na version is my best. It sounds so nostalgic.
I would buy this in an instant ..... just fantastic
Thank you for posting. It has been ages since I have listened to it.
WOW this is the most high quality i have ever heard this song, now it doesn't sound out of place when i put it onto The Visitors (Delxue Edition). Maybe you can work your magic on Get On A Carousel ?
Another classic I didn't know about. Thank you for sharing ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Danke für den Song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Danke 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉
Simply fantastic !
verry great
ABBA 😊
Very nice version, thank you very much.
I really love this song ❤
And A LOT of more songs unreleased, i think they're really beautifull, especially this, and monsieur monsieur ❤❤❤
Hermosa canción!!
A really nice mix on this.
Can we take a moment to appreciate Frida's astounding, crumpled white frock?
I can recall seeing the sleeve of The Singles and this outfit - by then Frida was rolling around in the American charts with "I Know..." and looking kind of Boomer/Modern - like someone's artsy, punky Auntie - and 12 year old me was thrilled. But then this is weird, dowdy cleavage spotlight thing... and I was like yep, she's still Anni-Frid.
"АББА" это титаны мировой музыки.
I completely agree. Magical 😊 Best wishes to you from England 🇬🇧
Wow…definitely the best version I’ve heard.
It's crazy that they reworked the throwaway JUST A NOTION for VOYAGE rather than resurrect this beloved composition - among their very best songs with a KILLER chorus - I don't care about your damn verses that "don't agree" Bjorn!
This is the first time I've heard this version, and I agree that it's the best one I've heard. I wonder what it will take for them to release this commercially, Benny and Bjorn have to know it's available online.
i dont get how they released songs like ''Tropical Loveland'', but never this masterpiece
this is incomplete.
@@richardmcnick Maybe it's time to finish it and launch it!
as far as i know a demo of it was stolen and that was the reason why they didn't release it.
@@BenTaxan No, B&B have stated there was a mismatch between the verse and chorus. They reworked it into an overproduced, boring version for Gemini. Benny maintains they will never release it because they're just not happy with it. It's a shame they couldn't include it on Voyage - Just A Notion is very weak tea in comparison.
Nice version! Seriously nice version! 👍
Diese Gefühle möchte meine Frau immer wieder sagen ich liebe dich so sehr dein Hartmut ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Flawless vocals as would be expected, but different kinda production than their 70's stuff too, very fresh. Could've easily been an 80's hit.
This is truly a fantastic effort! The saxophone version will always be my favorite, but I think you've done an incredible job. Am I right in thinking the ABBAcadabra cover was used in making this?
Hi, thanks for your feedback. No, the ABBAcadabra Version is not included here
I believe it’s the Groenalund cover that was used in making this
Bravo for this good job.
Thank you for posting this. Where did this come from? I’ve heard this version before.
Hi, I collected several versions over the last 20 years. I took the best parts in my opinion . The rest is written in the headline to this upload. This version is on TH-cam since about 1 year. If someone downloaded it an uploaded it again ? I don‘t know. The mix was created by me. Best regards.
Until that day
My life had been a river
Following a safe predestinated course
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
With uncompromising force
My strongholds broke down all too easily
I remember well
How he did embarrass me
I hung on to his every smile
Marveled at his style
Just like that
He walked into my house as smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I lead him on
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just like that
As though he'd only stopped a while for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
And once again
The river's flowing slowly
Following its safe and uneventful course
Now the tears have dried
It's become a pleasant break
I recall without remorse
But now and then
I wonder where he is
And I will admit
He had something that I miss
I guess he was a rolling stone
The only one I've known
There are Elements from the Song "Under Attack" 0:11-0:19 and more! Very Interesting.
Very good work, the best version I have listened to to date
I LOVE this. It's a Gem!!!!!
This should have been on Voyage instead of Just A Notion, which, to me, was always a mediocre sister song to Angeleyes.
Just A Notion is a fantastic song
Just a notion is way better than just like that
