This is not pop music. It is music which stands in its own right as meaningful and beautiful. ABBA were brilliant composers. Like the Beatles they had a gift for composition.
However, ABBA, unlike the Beatles, didn’t steal or plagiarise 90% of their works. What makes ABBA stand out above so many other super bands that were to follow is the one ingredient the Beatles, and many of today’s composers, lack- originality.
I am writing from Mongolia, the most backward and most corrupt country in the world. Thank you so much for giving so little joy to those who are struggling to survive in this horrible "black hole" country. The five minutes I listen to you play the piano, I feel like I'm not a moneys slave. This is so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you brother for writing this very nice comment and sharing and letting us get a glimpse of reality from another part of the world, I really hope things will work out better for you and your country.
That was just beautiful Ulrika. I'm an old fan of Abba and 84 years old. As strange as it sounds I only discovered them about 10 years ago and have loved their music ever since. Thanks for your lovely rendition.
I'm still enjoying your lovely music Ulrika except I now have a brand new set of nice headphones to hear you by. Thank you again. Also I'm now 87 a couple years older. I lost my beautiful wife of 61 years in April this year so have more listening time available to enjoy your music.
I'm old enough to have seen them in concert. Sadly I was never able to get tickets. They even played near me at an agricultural show ground. My friends said they we absolutely amazing. Tickets sold out in hours - stunning in the days of wheel dial phones.
Every time I listen to this wonderful pianist it is a unique emotion, I listen to her for hours and hours, and I feel brighter, and she recharges me with great energy, thank you so much Ulrika
Chiquitita, dime por qué Tu dolor hoy te encadena En tus ojos hay Una sombra de gran pena No quisiera verte así Aunque quieras disimularlo Si es que tan triste estás ¿Para qué quieres callarlo? Chiquitita, dímelo tú En mi hombro, aquí llorando Cuenta conmigo ya Para así seguir andando Tan segura te conocí Y ahora tu ala quebrada (Qué vacío, me duele verte llorar) Déjamela arreglar, yo la quiero ver curada Chiquitita, sabes muy bien Que las penas vienen y van y desaparecen Otra vez vas a bailar y serás feliz Como flores que florecen Chiquitita, no hay que llorar Las estrellas brillan por ti allá en lo alto Quiero verte sonreír para compartir Tu alegría, chiquitita Otra vez quiero compartir Tu alegría, chiquitita Chiquitita, dime por qué Tu dolor hoy te encadena En tus ojos hay Una sombra de gran pena No quisiera verte así Aunque quieras disimularlo Si es que tan triste estás ¿Para qué quieres callarlo? Chiquitita, sabes muy bien Que las penas vienen y van y desaparecen Otra vez vas a bailar y serás feliz Como flores que florecen Chiquitita, no hay que llorar Las estrellas brillan por ti allá en lo alto Quiero verte sonreír para compartir Tu alegría, chiquitita Otra vez quiero compartir Tu alegría, chiquitita Otra vez quiero compartir Tu alegría, chiquitita
Amazing work, beautiful lady! Hats off not only to you but to the original composers as well. They created something so powerful that it can bring one to tears for no logical explanation.
È la volta di "Chiquitita" pezzo allegro e vivace (a mio parere). Grazie Ulrika, sta elargendo regalandoci il suo repertorio artistico e noi amanti della musica lo apprezziamo molto perché suonati e accompagnati da lei in una maniera sublime. Grazie davvero, dal profondo del cuore ⚘⚘⚘
its that ground school sing along style cover.. those just suck, i was disappointed too, thought its perfectly presented reminds me of some low q karaoke
@@vite1968 That's so low! What a jerk. She was not looking for your vote, nor is she at the service of your entertainment. Just putting out there for the public to have a well played song we all know. It's simply her modest gift you idiot. Now apologize stupid !
She should record a cd and sell it - she'd make a lot of money, and provide her fans with her marvelous playing outside internet! Incredibly beautiful, soft playing. Very talented pianist !
Excellent! I'd love to hear you play the piano outro as well! That's the main feature of the song although bits very unsettling and quite dark - a bit like most Abba songs really.most people think Abba songs are happy party poppy, wrong - their music is about sadness and melancholy. Even they've said that 😀
You are absolutely amazing!!! ABBA is one of my favorites and it’s SOOOO hard to play but you do it SOOOO beautifully. I’d love to hear more abba but anything from you is amazing!
“I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.” ― Billy Joel
Happy memories of growing up feeling safe listening to music with my Dad and Mum. My father passed away in his sleep just after New Year this year, he loved Abba. This moved me. Thank you for playing this x
I honestly can’t stop listening to you Ulrika. Beautiful interpretations of all the songs you’ve done. If I was to pick two songs I’d like to hear you do they’d be from my two favourite bands Abba and James. The Abba song would be One Of Us, that’s my second favourite after The Winner Takes It All. The James song I’d pick is either Ring The Bells or Tomorrow.
Es la primera vez que oigo una versión de Chiquitita en la cual no extraño las voces de ABBA... Con usted no necesito internet y casi casi que puedo prescindir de mi extenso y mágico Ipod.
Boa noite querida Ulrika,achei você aqui por acaso...quando eu era um garoto com 15 anos...ouvir dance queen pela primeira vez,as meninas lindas do ABBA cantando e dançando. ..era 1970...eu nunca esqueci disso...e quando vi você tocar dance queen voltei no tempo...sempre vou amar você tocar essa música pra mim...abraços!
I’ve been to Sweden, what a wonderful country, I loved it! I got to visit the ABBA museum, I love their music. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel. You play beautifully, that cover was fantastic! I would’ve liked you had played the piano solo at the end of the song, it’s one of the coolest part, but it gets omitted pretty much in all the covers I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing!
Hello there I am Kaushal from India. Thank you very much for your efforts. Whenever I listen to ABBA I become nostalgic, can't help but remember my childhood. Thanks a lot
Boa noite,você toca piano divinamente bem,em se tratando dessa banda fantástica ABBA...falando só mais um pouco de você pianista,você Linda e charmosa! Parabéns querida.
Beautiful as always, Ulrika. One ABBA tune I have yet to hear you play is my favourite: "Knowing Me, Knowing You." May I kindly request a video of that song? Your videos always brighten my day.
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
You actually made me cry cause i love this song so much and it it remembers me to my friend who moved and since the last day of her at my school i haven't seen her❤😭
Very well played My parents both played but they left when I was 8 months old and no one to show me how to play. I just got a Casio Lk-136 yesterday I am 78 now but will try to play it
Scrolling through the comments, I'm surprised that nobody has commented yet that she didn't play the piano ending solo! That's my favorite part of the song and was disappointed that she didn't play it. Still an excellent cover!
This is not pop music. It is music which stands in its own right as meaningful and beautiful. ABBA were brilliant composers. Like the Beatles they had a gift for composition.
And when it comes to comparison The Beatles and AbbA my choice is ABBA 😁 Always and for ever :)))

Mongolia is not the most corrupt, my country the UK is.
Greetings anyway, from a fellow money slave :)
🙏
I think I’ll add your country on the travel to bucket list .
I’m a pianist and I love listening to her. She’s graceful and knows exactly what to do. I just love her. Thank you Ulrika😊
I’ve never heard Abba played as beautiful as you do. Thank you.
Agreed, it just sounds right, which is harder than most people would think.
Beautiful lady playing a beautiful song:)
I agree!
@@amirg1645 me too!
Oh, thank you so much! 😊🌷🌷🌷
@ where are you from?
@@resireg I´m from Sweden. :o)
I could close my eyes and listen to you play for hours
Anche ad occhi aperti, anzi meglio, così da osservare questa meravigliosa donna mentre compone al piano queste stupende opere d'arte.
I have tears in my eyes watching this ❤
I can't stop listening to this, whether from Abba or you. Beautiful! Thank you for playing your version.
That was just beautiful Ulrika. I'm an old fan of Abba and 84 years old. As strange as it sounds I only discovered them about 10 years ago and have loved their music ever since. Thanks for your lovely rendition.

I was feeling down, so I thought "why don't I listen to Ulrika playing?" The day is brighter now.
As a child it was my favorite song.Remember my childhood and it makes me cry
next song Old Time Rock & Roll
Every time I listen to this wonderful pianist it is a unique emotion, I listen to her for hours and hours, and I feel brighter, and she recharges me with great energy, thank you so much Ulrika
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you
Beautiful
Impecable
Immaculate serenity to my inner soul
Really glad this pianist likes Abba compositions. I think their music was all composed on a piano. This has a schlager feel making it classic.
Absolutely love Abba, you have a great air about you playing these tunes. Lovely🥰🥰🥰
Agnetha ha dato la sua strepitosa voce a questo capolavoro Abba, Ulrica con la sua meravigliosa arte lo ha reso immortale ❤❤
Chiquitita, dime por qué
Tu dolor hoy te encadena
En tus ojos hay
Una sombra de gran pena
No quisiera verte así
Aunque quieras disimularlo
Si es que tan triste estás
¿Para qué quieres callarlo?
Chiquitita, dímelo tú
En mi hombro, aquí llorando
Cuenta conmigo ya
Para así seguir andando
Tan segura te conocí
Y ahora tu ala quebrada
(Qué vacío, me duele verte llorar)
Déjamela arreglar, yo la quiero ver curada
Chiquitita, sabes muy bien
Que las penas vienen y van y desaparecen
Otra vez vas a bailar y serás feliz
Como flores que florecen
Chiquitita, no hay que llorar
Las estrellas brillan por ti allá en lo alto
Quiero verte sonreír para compartir
Tu alegría, chiquitita
Otra vez quiero compartir
Tu alegría, chiquitita
Chiquitita, dime por qué
Tu dolor hoy te encadena
En tus ojos hay
Una sombra de gran pena
No quisiera verte así
Aunque quieras disimularlo
Si es que tan triste estás
¿Para qué quieres callarlo?
Chiquitita, sabes muy bien
Que las penas vienen y van y desaparecen
Otra vez vas a bailar y serás feliz
Como flores que florecen
Chiquitita, no hay que llorar
Las estrellas brillan por ti allá en lo alto
Quiero verte sonreír para compartir
Tu alegría, chiquitita
Otra vez quiero compartir
Tu alegría, chiquitita
Otra vez quiero compartir
Tu alegría, chiquitita

Thanks Ulrika Rosén, for sharing another excellent video of ABBA.
Good weekend

Gracias es un Gran placer escuchar esto gracias por compartir su talento
Wonderfull, wonderfull, wonderfull. ( Brasil)
I will never tire of hearing you play. This song especially. Love you 💕 💖 💗
Pop songs get a classy gloss on the piano and this lady's calm and relaxing style of playing enhances the sharing quality of the song.

So nice i loved piano really
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
That was incredible Mrs. Rosen. Very nice.
Listening here in Ireland. Beautiful music Ulrika !
