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
Nothing chaotic about this fella
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 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 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
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”
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 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 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
*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
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
@@AustinWeber Oh cool I didn't know. Also agreed this is really good.
Good that you can download it, but it’s not quite the same feel without this goofy video haha
1:20 Interestingly, this frame 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 in Japan who bought the soda were gifted a free record, with an image of ABBA on a floating vinyl with Coca-cola written on it. It's called "Slipping Through My Fingers".
(Would've been even cooler if this record featured "Mamma Mia", but sadly it doesn't lol.)
Thats actually a super neat tidbit. Thanks for sharing
@@Cryogenical My pleasure! I LIVE for the tidbits.
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
i didn’t believe in love at first sight until i saw this
Same. All 7 pixels of him 😍.
@@brownwikue5137 Right? So dreamy
This has cured 2 of my heartbreaks
my powers know no bounds!
@@AustinWeber real
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.
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
2:38
I just love how powerful that note is
**doesn’t remember video name and just searches “big cold river”**
but u still found it
I looked up “a man abba”
I searched abba in japans
I searched mamma mia in japan
@@maven12LA same
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”
😂🤣
Anyone who loves ABBA knows how hard it is to find ANY good cover of an ABBA song. This one is FANTASTIC.
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
he just straight vibin, he ain't stressin
I see a Josuke pfp, I instantly like the comment.
HooliganEyebrow why thank you
St8 vibes
My my
Basil why look what we have here, another jojo fan
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
1:35 the little waddle after he tippy taps quickly gets me every time
I'll have you know, this hits even 4 years later...a forever favorite
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
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?
i bet abba is incredibly proud their legacy is being carried on in awesome ways like this i love this so much
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.
Came to see why he is standing in a river.
Stayed for the editing and music.
So did you figure out why he was standing in a river
@@radiantcat540 his girlfriend dumped him before their trip to Japan so he went with his dad and recorded this video
I don’t know why but I’m weirdly drawn to this masterpiece
Immaculate download it ,I cant get it out of my mind
the guy or the video
@@funmeat1998 yes
When he gets to the "yEAAAAAH" part I always cheer him on. GO KING, SING THOSE FEELINGS OUT
Bruh, I just saw this this morning, I've been replaying it all day. It's so good.
just got this in my recommended, can't believe it's been 5 years
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.
At the end of the day aren’t we all in a big cold river?
cagakmco 1380 maybe the real big cold river was the friends we made along the way
this comment is sending me into an existential crisis. it's ugly, I love it
No

In all seriousness, this is a really good cover.
*Julia* I couldn’t agree more
*glorious
I keep going back to this uuuu
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 rewatch this every so often, and it never ceases to lift my spirits. Great cover, feels more personal and homey than the original.
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
I appreciate the dad’s reflection in the bus that passes 😂😂😂
First time I saw that, I was at work and I laughed until I cried. My coworker came in the back and had to ask if I was okay lol
2:11
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
I still think about this video every few months and come back to it. Brings me irrational joy, dunno why.
This has been sent by 2005 TH-cam to save today's platform.
More like 2006/2007, there are really no videos that were actually from 2005.
@Mundane gotem
This is a real iconic comment
I watch this every day due to religious reasons.
Aw dude can we make a religion around Austin Weber? Hell yeah.
Can I join your religion?
This is heresy
im in
😂😂😂💀
As the son of the drummer of ABBA. This fucking slaps bro
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
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 still can't believe a girl cheated on a man who can sing through the cold rivers of Japan

This is my comfort song. Everytime I'm in a bad mood, a really bad mood, I put this on and it's like instant antidepressants. And it's been like it for several years now.
Thanks Alex, your song has helped me through real shitty times in a way nothing has ever helped. Really, thank you so much.
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
Looking forward to him singing dancing queen in Thailand

I’d like to think that this song repeatedly popping up right when I’m stressing about an upcoming major life event is the algorithm giving me a reassuring pat on the back ❤

Cuz you are my dude.
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.
As a Japanese, I am honored that my country was chosen as the setting for this wonderful official music video.

Here I am getting recommended this video after 5yrs of it getting posted. And yes this is my first time watching this 😂

Absolutely! I got this video in my recommended about 6 months ago. Watched the video to death. Just saw him in concert 2 weeks ago and Austin recognized me and my friends because we arrived 2 hours before literally everyone else.
no TH-cam recommendation will ever top this one for me.
Same here dude

Let's not lie. This is definitely one of the best versions of this song.
This feels infinitely more sincere than the original.

"arguably"
Why is this my drunk song
How did I remember this song after 4 year
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.
Your dedication to shorts is impressive.
Because they're comfy and easy to wear, duh
I came from reddit too.
What is subreddit?
A king in his element 👏 ✨️ 👑
I hope life is treating him well
I’m a heterosexual man and I kinda want to call this guy to apologize and ask if he’ll take me back.
Japanese People are chill, this man straight vibing and they dont mind
He’s not actually singing it’s obvious because you don’t hear any background noise and it’s way to studio like
@Anyssa De Gracia no you can't there is only one part that might sound like it was real
@@yourpalnate9242 I mean he has headphones one and a mic so it makes sense you wouldnt hear any background noise, he isnt using his iphone to record the song
@@gazellete4925 the headphones don't just stop background noise are you dumb like when he walked right by someone you should of heard noise
@@yourpalnate9242 It could just be a low sensitivity microphone. It would make sense then that there is little to no background noise being picked up
The cover can never be better than the origina-
Chill man abba is still best
Any cover sung in a cold Japanese river is better than the original, once abba does that I will be happy
My brain just randomly remembered that this exists and I’ve spent the past 30 minutes searching TH-cam because of course I could neither remember the artist nor the song being covered
It was definitely worth it watching this cover again after +4 years!
The fact I've had this song on my playlist for forever, and I'm only just now learning he isn't the original artist by him singing in a river lmfao
