Definitely my favorite of the 2 songs. The lyrics to this one are just so touching. I have always been a HUGE Agnetha fan, but Frida's voice here is just flawless. It is just so pure and controlled, and I love how she goes in and out of the lower register so easily.
Frida's vocals sound exactly how they were in Abba. I have been an Agnetha fan since starting to listen to their music, but Frida's vocals are perfection on these new singles.
It's as if this band was frozen in time for 40 years and they picked up where they left off. They sound exactly the same! It's crazy! Welcome back ABBA, we missed you!
I love both songs. I can honestly say I have never disliked any of their songs. It is just so beautiful to see and hear them again. So so talented and they just sound perfect
I’m in love with both songs. Don’t Shut Me Down is authentic ABBA to the core; a true dance track! This one though: what a profound reintroduction to their return. How one band can command the attention of an entire world with the power of their music is unheard of. This is possibly the most beautiful ABBA song I’ve ever heard…possibly from ANY group. It’s message is personal and positive. There is no way to counter that. This is a grand return of a group that has lost nothing along the way to get here at a time when music needs to be the most powerful thing there is.
Both songs are amazing both with the lyrics and vocals. They did such a great job showing their talents and skills and how to write and bring out music.
ABBA'S BACK WITH A VENGANCE. THIS IS SOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL. AND A WHOLE NEW ALBUM ON NOVEMBER 5, 2021. BEST PRESENT EVER, SINCE 1982. ABBALICIOUS TREAT, RESPECT🤩🤩🤩🤩
Wasn't it amazing? I am so happy they are back. I love how people from around the world have been waiting for the day of Abba's return. I am so happy they are still loved around the world.
Abba know exactly how to make that Abba sound and make it sound so current. I didn't know what to expect with the songs but I was blown away with how great they are.
I grew up with Abba and I can say that this is just as good if not better then when they were in their prime. It just seems like they picked up right where they left off. It's great they are back.
I don`t care if or how it charts. I love it, and I think fans like it, and would bye it. I know I will be bying it. Can`t choose a favorite among the two
Looks like the singles are charting pretty good around the world. In they UK i heard the singles should chart at #6 and #7 which is really exciting after 40 years.
@@davidpastuck7245 It's so beautiful to hear those melodies and those powerful, emotive chords, so familiar and yet so new. We've got an entire album to experience soon. Thank You ABBA for the music. I could weep hehehe
Have you seen the titles of the 10 new songs on the album? For those familiar with the ABBA Undeleted medley, there are a couple of familiar titles - Just a Notion and Bumblebee. I Still Have Faith in You When You Danced with Me Little Things (a Christmas one!) Don't Shut Me Down Just a Notion I Can Be that Woman Keep an Eye on Dan Bumblebee No Doubt about It Ode to Freedom
I'm excited to hear their Christmas song. The closet thing we have had so far is "Happy New Year" and Agnetha's 1980 Christmas album with her daughter.
@@davidpastuck7245 Me too. A Christmas-themed smash that becomes a favourite every December is all that was missing from their back catalogue (even though Happy New Year is amazing and on several festive compilations in the UK). It'll be interesting to see if it's an understated ballad, or full on pop with sleigh bells etc. 🎄
Like this as first single for a return !!! Again had no idea it's been 40 years... The concept of the Music Video is advanced would've been great to do a split screen to what they look like recording this. 🔥 Your reaction made this super emotional.... 🤟
Both newly released songs have lots of references to ABBA songs as well as their beyond-the-band projects ("My colouring book" by Agnetha or "The Sun Will Shine Again" and "Morning Has Broken" by Frida).
@@davidpastuck7245 Exactly! Plus I see some tiny resemblance to "Mio, My Mio" in the flute sounds on the background in "I Still Have Faith In You". Maybe, I'm wrong, but I have strong associations with that. And, at least for me, it sounds a bit similar to "Efter regnet", released on Benny's "Klinga mina klocko" in 1987.
It amazes me how many people are commenting here as if there have been no Agnetha or Frida recordings and no Benny & Bjorn songs since 1982. The womens vocals are an octave lower than they were back in 82 but thats no big suprise to those of us who have followed their work from 1983-2020!!
It is way too bad that this will be their very last and final album that they made /release according to Bjorn and Benny, or so they said in an interview. (hopefully they don't stop) But i will be a Forever Abba fan. Looking forward to listen their Voyage album when i get it in my mailbox. I will be soooooooooo happy 😊
Abba has a signature sound that many acts try and recreate example: Steps. The two new singles they brought that signature sound back again. If you watch Melodifestavalin you will see many acts sounding like abba, abba has that signature sound that they brought back with the new music.
I do think the album will do really good in the charts but yes, the singles I don't think will which don't really matter now a days, they did it for us fans. I'm so glad they are back making music together.
Esperé 40 años y parece que ape as ayer estuvieron juntos en un estudio.. Benny y Bior son sumamente Talentosos con un olfato para saber cuando una canción es buena. Tienen sentimiento y lo vuelcan en u a melodia. Agnetga y Agnifrid poseen unas voces maravillosas. Emociona escuchar ese momento en que se unen ycomoaginan de manera perfecta. Sin duda, valió la pena esperar. Y el 5 de noviembre, compraré mi cd

When I hear this I can't help getting teary eyes. That voice! The lyrics. The changing tones. That quality. It sounds like a world hit
The quality of these new singles are superb.

Right? They sound exactly the same as they always have. So happy they are back.
No song today can touch this. We needed this more than ever after what we've all been through.
They brought light to such a dark time, I'm so glad they are back
I love both songs. I can honestly say I have never disliked any of their songs. It is just so beautiful to see and hear them again. So so talented and they just sound perfect
They sound like they never left, their voices are incredible.
I really like this one. The vocal is lovely. Don't care how it charts, I love it.
Frida's vocals are amazing on this song. They haven't changed since 1982.
Frida ist wonderful
@@davidpastuck7245 Anni-Frid
This is my favorite of the two new tracks. No other artist or group can duplicate this majestic sound.
You are correct. Abba has a way of making all music so spectacular and magical. They are truly one of the greatest acts out there.
This one has a "the way old friends do" vibe, right? I'm living for these new songs. Frida is everything ♥
Absolutely this two songs are very emotional
Yes, I thought that too. The songs are amazing and Frida's voice on this song is simply amazing.

ABBA are singing about their own history!
There are so many references both in lyrics and sound to their older material. I love it.
Best band ever, best news ever, enjoy the show
I was so excited for the news. Simply amazing
Greetings from Hamburg......i love both Songs! Frida and Agnetha...both voices so clear, so good. Handmade, perfect, Abba!!! I am so happy
Wasn't it amazing? I am so happy they are back. I love how people from around the world have been waiting for the day of Abba's return. I am so happy they are still loved around the world.
Yes....in Germany the Radio Stations have made an Abba day! Many Stations....old and the two new Songs the while day...every hour 2
I loved both..both are very ABBA. Both brought tears to my old eyes so yea...They are BACK :D

They've still got it! Amazing! We've been waiting for you, ABBA!
It's so good, I'm so happy they are back
This guy in Alberta is in a state of absolute bliss! Another amazing new ABBA song!
Love seeing other Canadian fans of Abba and especially ones from the prairies. (Saskatchewan fan here) Thanks for your comment.
The more I hear it the better it becomes. The first time it was not love at first sight
Which single do you like better?
@@davidpastuck7245 Dont shut me down.

I'm super excited too. November seems so far away.

Right? I hope the album does amazing world wide. The songs are so abba sounding as if they never left.
Comeback of the century?! No comeback like this since Jesus Christ walked out of his tomb.
LOVE IT, AND THAY STILL ARE GOING STRONG... WOW THEY ARE AMAZING....🤔😱🥰🤗👍😀
The theatrics in their music is really what set their sound apart IMO. Nobody writes lyrics like Benny & Bjorn.
The "Do we have it in us" bit gives me "Eagle" vibes... ABBA We've missed you so much
Yes you are right it does sound like "eagle" so many pieces in the songs bring us back to their old tracks.

They still sound so good together and the "3rd voice" is still there when Agnetha and Frida sing together.
David Pastuck: Thanks for your reaction! Really nice
Thank you for watching! :) I'm glad you liked it.
