Lyrics:
I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire inside my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist ya?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I missed ya
Yeah, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
Why I could never let you go
I've been angry and sad 'bout the things that you do
So I made up my mind to tell you that we're through
But when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that I won't be away too long
You know I'm not that strong
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist ya?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed ya
Yeah, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even when I say
Bye-bye, take me now or never
Mamma mia, it's a game we play
Goodbye doesn't mean forever
Yeah, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
Why I could never let you go - เพลง
chaotic good;
gets cheated on and flies to japan with his dad and sings abba in a cold river
Absolute MADLAD-
More like chaotic optimism, he gets cheated on which hurts people so badly, yet he just goes to a river and sings
Cheated on?
@@samnesssepiol1230 his girlfriend cheated on him, but still had an extra ticket (for his cheating girlfriend) and gave it to his dad
Anything: *Moves*
Camera man: I see
up you go
John Weber did a good job :)
Why did I laugh so hard to this??
Haha that was done during post production though. :D But I can't stop imagining his dad swiftly moving the camera everytime something moves.
“Yo, what the fuck was that, get a zoom on it”
The fact that this has never been copyright claimed is testament to how much we all appreciate how much this man flew to Japan to sing an Abba song in a big cold river.
why would it get copyright claimed?? its a distinct cover not a rip of the original.
@@ThisOneCassie shh... its a joke
@@ThisOneCassie Studios can and still do claim covers. For official productions, you need either a master use license (the recording of the original) or a sync license (a right to make your own recording). A cover on TH-cam operates without a sync license or a master use license, but studios often leave it alone.
@@ThisOneCassieCovers are not fair use otherwise people would just cover all the popular songs and then undersell the rights to those songs.
@@user-lh7mt7zo7l LMAO
I know no one cares but this video really shows the essence of Kyoto. I lived there for a year and no one pays attention to the mundane aspects of this city, which isn't that weird considering how many amazing cultural landmarks there are. But it makes me so happy to see the Kamogawa, the parking lot mascot, the Mos Burger... Brings back so many amazing memories. Lovely city, in both its grandiose and mundane aspects
Never been, but it's the mundane things that bring that those memories... that shop...that tree...that person who was always there....
@@SteppingStonevlogsI lived in Maryland for years, and sometimes I just miss parts of neighborhoods like the mall in Rockville and and the general area of Silver Spring, and not just the AFI Silver Theater, but this nice crepe place that’s right next to a pretty cool comics shop with a basement full of discounted single issues, tpb’s, and Graphic Novels (I don’t miss the traffic in Silver Spring, tho. I swear it was 10X worse than the traffic in DC).
@@Popcultureguy3000 what is the comic shop? I love how much greenery is in this area! I hope you enjoy wherever you are now.
I don't know if anyone will respond but, I love Japan for the mundane things I just love the environment there always have.
i love how no one cares that he's singing to absolutely nothing in the middle of the street
ma'am that is a pond
A Pretty Rad Pigeon Is bof my man
A Pretty Rad Pigeon you should finish the vid you won’t regret it
It's Japan, the Land of t
Only in japan do they not care to this extent
This man is a rare gem. His ex girlfriend messed up reaaaal bad.
This is just a cover lmao. It ain't that deep
I could imagine an old lady throwing her granny panties at him, and him wiping away the sweat.
Alana Le oh sh*t you have the same name and last name as me.. I found my twin omg
@@lulu4825 conspiracy theory
palper yes indeed conspiracy theory. We are cloned
The low budget and mundane nature of this cover really adds a charm to this song i can't quantify. I mean that in the best possible way, great work 👏
The courage is what amazed me, i envy it. Added to my bucket list
low budget? my man he flew to japan
@@Em_B that's quite low budget for a music video with millions of views
@@googleaccount2288true but he flew to Japan
@@SomeIceGuy he didn't fly there just to do sing this though if the stories in the replies are true so eh doesn't count
I know ur never going to see this, but i just wanted u to know how happy this makes me. This cover is my favorite rendition of this song and ive had my best memories scream singing it with my younger sibling in the car. We call u The River Man
:) whoa thank you! :)
This is super wholesome and made me smile :D (also hi Austin, you're a legend)
If this is not the most wholesome comment i dont what is
w river man
w river man@@AustinWeber
*shouldnt have been cheating on this talented man.*
If I had a man like this I'd buy a ring five minutes in
THIS MAN FLEW TO JAPAN TO GET MARRIED IN AN EVEN COLDER RIVER
@@whatabouthedroidattackonth3633 but your a male who is gay .
I don't think he was cheated on though, he did say that they just broke up
@@KhronezGaming nah she cheated on him he said it
I am all for the random camera pans.
I too, received immense gratification of the inappropriate nature from the excellent cinematography provided here.
😂😂😂
Honestly it helped my awful attention span so much
The duck was what took me out laughing
Damn it
It’s japan
Unironically my favorite cover of an Abba song, like this version more than the original, if this was on Spotify I would be amazing
it is on Spotify! open.spotify.com/track/70nzhMwX62mxBm0VwFFQbk?si=5da02f3b16fa463d
Now you must be amazing. To keep your word.
you're so amazing man im proud of you
1:20 Interestingly, this isn't the first time ABBA, Japan, and Coca-cola have been juxtaposed. In 1981, a rare compilation album was released exclusively in Japan in partnership with Coca-Cola... certain people who bought the soda were gifted a free record, with an image of ABBA on a floating vinyl with Coca-cola written on it.
I know the song he's singing is pretty sad considering it's about missing someone even after they hurt you, but this madlad sound like someone so optimistic that even if he's broken hearted he'll just say "aw, what a bummer, better luck next time" to himself and continue on with his life
Yep
Obi High Ground Kenobi Apparently he did
Obi High Ground Kenobi I don’t know where you found that info from but if you search the song up it says that his gf broke up with him and rather than going on their planned Japan trip alone, he brought his dad and recorded this song
The original songs upbeat to
If you like that about it then I recommend looking up the rest of ABBA's discography too! It's good stuff
something other than water: *moves*
the camera: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn
i see inko icon i click like
dragon with sword thank you kind human for the like
"wait, let's record everything other than the dude singing!"
Jesus thats good😂🤟🏼
Is it bad that I unironically like this version of the song better than the original?
Nope
Or maybe I’m just as weird as you
Me too
No
In this one you can hear a broken heart.
Maybe because it has raw unrefined melancholic feeling that he conveyed
there's something so unique about how this is filmed that legitimately gives this a special, comfy vibe
A MAN HAS FALLEN INTO THE RIVER IN JAPAN
Hey!
rameshbutterybiscuts *_building noises_*
start the new rescue helicopter
drop the strechter and make a rescue
ねえ!(HEY!)
The level of “minding my own business” in this video from the people around him
Art was being created, they dare not interrupt.
you don’t just interrupt rituals, that’s sacrilegious.
Japan is pretty heavy on minding their own business. That’s just their culture
Japanese people are good people
I am convinced that in many places in Japan you could leave a bundle of cash on the ground and nobody would touch it. Not necessarily because they are nice or good people (though quite a bit of that too) but because it is none of their business.
This has cured 2 of my heartbreaks
my powers know no bounds!
@@AustinWeber real
Anyone who loves ABBA knows how hard it is to find ANY good cover of an ABBA song. This one is FANTASTIC.
Everyone keeps saying like "lol all the japanese people just walking by like its not happening, they probably get this everyday" but I think its more like "This is so strange I dont really know how to react to this, so im just not gonna react to it at all"
Why should I bother someone that isn't bothering me?
Yeah this is probably what my Midwest city would do. If they didn’t notice the camera that is.
In japan they dont bother you at all. you could be sleeping in a train and no one would do anything
As an inhabitant of a tourism based country, I can confirm that we do in fa t think of foreign vloggers like that.
@@nightmarerose1748 yeah, asian countries are generally very judgmental but they choose to shut up.
1, because respect is a valued virtue here
2, we'd rather not be like big-mouthed westerners
how does this manage to be both _ironically_ and _unironically_ good at the same time
U ever heard of death grips
Felsbrocken u ever heard of Blarf ?
That’s ironic
because he misses half the notes but hits half of them?
I was about to say "welcome to the internet" but then I finished listening and I think it's too good to be classified as "Internet" cuz we don't deserve this level of greatness
The fact that people just glance at him not batting a eye gives this a movie or show feel and it just reminds me of baby driver and that's amazing just how well this holds up
2:38
I just love how powerful that note is
when he said "YEAH IVE BEEN BROKENHEARTED"
I was like : 🤘🏼😔🤘🏼
Michael Nicolanes favourite part of this blessed video
ooh, since the day we farted
why is your left thumb on the outside
paisley is crying that’s just my hand next to them 😔
2:39
This Is the best way to release the anger and negative emotions that has accumulated in a person after a break up and a very healthy way to move on. Only respect for this legend.
> the best
🤨
can you buy me a plane ticket to japan then
As we also got a weirdly Impactful rendition of mama Mia by abba!
When you released this, I listened to it pretty nonstop for a while. Not entirely sure why, I just really enjoyed it. My now ex would get so mad and make me turn it off and would get so upset I stopped listening to it (not entirely sure on why for that either). Now I'm married to an amazing woman who would never do anything like that and is very encouraging of everything I do in life, including listening to the same songs a million times. Not sure why this popped up on my feed today, but I'm glad it did.
i bet abba is incredibly proud their legacy is being carried on in awesome ways like this i love this so much
Japan: why are you coming to japan?
Austin: business trip..?
TH-camr is a business
All of Japan asked him that???
Secretary of Rahj from I.T. Just looked up the definition of business so correct me if I’m wrong but youtuber is an occupation and thus, a business.
Secretary of Rahj from I.T. Late reply but I know that. The op just meant it as a joke and everyone took it so seriously. Your reply looked like it replied to someone above saying “youtuber is a business”
😂🤣

Not saying you should cover every single abba song in a cold Japanese river w your dad but you really really should
Yass please!
I would do that when I go to Japan, but my father has been absent from my life for the last 17 years.
yellowisacolor91 oh
yellowisacolor91 Still out for cigarettes?
@@yellowisacolor91 he's just out looking for the best carton of milk
there was a period of time a couple years ago where i used to listen and watch this almost everyday for 8 months
im glad this video ended up in my recommended again
this is the only version mamma mia i listen to, glad to see its still getting recommended
The camera randomly zooming in on things is literally my brain😂😂😂
Invalid_Hearts_ me during tests
Invalid_Hearts_ my exams are in two weeks and this video sums up my brain when the paper is placed in front of me
When you go afk in gta be like
ADHD
is it... is it literally?
Just think, if she didn’t cheat on him, he wouldn’t have filmed this, and that means that no matter how painful it is to break up with someone, it will always turn out okay. Have a nice day you beautiful bastard!
;-; I love you
Unless they murder u
Someone watches Philip DeFranco. Lol
I love you too bud
And we wouldn’t have this masterpiece
TH-cam has stopped putting ABBA's version of this song in my playlist and only puts this one now. I cannot disagree with its choice.
I just got done crying and this is the best video ever
Your dedication to shorts is impressive.
Because they're comfy and easy to wear, duh
I came from reddit too.
What is subreddit?
Forget the algorithmic problems. TH-cam needs to focus on giving this video multiple like buttons.
666th like😎
Chels 14 oh damn I didn’t even realize this comment had that many likes 😅
its been 3 weeks since it was 666 and now its 2k
still my fave cover of this song years later! all time classic, man, thank you for all you do :)
1:35 the little waddle after he tippy taps quickly gets me every time
The sort of quality content I knew was missing from TH-cam
Grackle, I couldn't agree more
It's funny cuz the picture quality reminds me of 2010 TH-cam
I played this on my birthday yesterday and it was amazing
Over 1,4 m views :D Ando no 4k needed here. Well done boy
1800p?
I love how he’s awkwardly wearing shorts in all of his outfits
Summer in tokyo is such a bitch, better than kyoto but still.
weber and jack stratton are reinventing style
Cvrious how can someone wear shorts awkwardly?
@@user-gd2zy1be7x fuck kyoto summers are ROUGH
if you consider a t-shit and shorts a whole outfit. yes.
A king in his element 👏 ✨️ 👑
I hope life is treating him well
I still think about this video every few months and come back to it. Brings me irrational joy, dunno why.
The low quality makes the whole thing even better
i love how no one cares that he's singing to absolutely nothing in the middle of the street
Recorded on a phone :)
They don't understand a thing he's saying
And it's amazing
Lmao you just pick two comments posted before and repload like it's your own word (honestly i think its pretty funny 😂😂)
Some of the angles he looks like elon musk
THIS is what TH-cam was meant for. Thank you for bringing TH-cam back to the mid 2000's. You are the hero we all need but do not deserve!
There has always been plenty of shit content and quality content on TH-cam regardless of what year it is.
Tru truuu , meaningful content.
OMG YESSS ugh, such a throwback. This video definitely has the 2000’s vibe. Ahhh memories
Bless up
the disonant harmony in the bridge is killer. nice cover.
autoplay decides to bring me this cover roughly every other day for about a year and three quarters, and you'd think i'd be tired of it. but those plunky little synths and that audible background noise YEEEEEEEEEEEEAH I BEEN BROKENHEARTED! win me back over every time. the "I can't change the song while doing dishes" curse can sometimes loop around to being a good thing again.
In all seriousness, this is a really good cover.
*Julia* I couldn’t agree more
*glorious
I keep going back to this uuuu
why does this feel like i'm watching the ending after credit scene of a really good video game
Great, now we have to make a game that fits this ending
braian gomez I’m down to help make that
bioshock infinite’s alternate ending
Portal 2
Cuz you are my dude.
I feel like this never gets old. It’s been three years and I still watch this every time I remember this video exists.
I heard this song on Spotify and thought it was some pro singer and was not disappointed to see a man sing while standing in a pond for 1 min and 30 sec
Normal Japanese person when they see a white guy with a cameraman: Oh no here we go again
Is this a logan paul reference?
Normal Italian person when they see a white guy with a cameraman: Mama Mia, here we go again
Normal Japanese person when they see a second sun: Oh shit here we go again
i cant believe you said oh no and not mama mia
I wonder what race this guy is. He looks maybe Norwegian, or Swedish..
The amount of times I've been mid-cry only to search "abba river japan" on youtube is almost embarrassing
Bro I got this first search lol search up guy sings abba in lake
Mood tho
AH... ITS UNIVERSAL
Wow.....I'm glad I'm not the only one. This is the biggest pick-me-up video 😂
Very cool God
I rewatch this every so often, and it never ceases to lift my spirits. Great cover, feels more personal and homey than the original.
every few months this video pops up on my recommended and every time i have to watch it again
There’s something about this version that makes it a lot more somber than the original
And better
Lmao this made me laugh
He'd just been dumped by his gf before their trip to Japan so maybe it's that?
rom rom probably the 80s sounding music in the back
@@nay5783 Are you kidding? it sounds like crap.
I love how he randomly zooms into random ass people minding their own things
The camera effects really make this feel like a music video.
The camera effects is literally me with my attention span- oh cool a bird 🐦
And bird
ever see that metul guy that plays songs in public? yeah his cameraman does that too, the only difference being the people actually react in his videos
Right?! I think it's funny how he's so open and stand-out, which I think is kind of shocking to the Japanese people, especially the older generation. It cracks me up when the camera zooms in on shocked and uncomfortable people. LOL, They are probably wondering what is wrong with occidentals.
2024 and I'm back to watching this three times in a row. Cheers, man.
oh my god... i’ve been listening to this song for months on spotify and just came across this video?!?!?? i had no idea, this is so iconic i’m having heart palpitations
Give this guy his soulmate, he deserves it
*I volunteer as tribute*
@@samuelwithers2221 who wouldn't?
I volunteer
Wait never mind someone already said that

wow witchy thank you, i apprEciAte
I AGREE
WE NEED TO SEE IT
Absolutely!!
I could see this also work as a song where you speak about trying to let go of your self that personifies your guilts and grudges and misgivings, and still wanting to be with them/ coming back to them.
your music is so amazing, cannot wait for a new album drop. i love all your songs!

Same here dude
I was just listening and then I had to replay it again for the visuals ahahaha this video never gets old!
this song is fire and it’s super awesome!!! I can listen to this all day! Also congrats on 100k!!
