Be quiet. Each singer is wonderfully talented in their own way. Enough with the one is better than the other rubbish. And who's 'the blonde'? Her name is Agnetha. You can remember Frida, show some respect. @@wotangrafvonhohenfels4964
Find a soon to be 76/year old that sound this way. Her voice is still noting less than amazing. It’s really insane to still sound so strong. Maybe the song is not for everyone, but you can’t deny the greatness of Frida
David...Same can be said of the other three, Hon. Bjorn and Agnetha, same-same, singers. Benny, same-same on the piano. Yes, Frida is great and so are the other three!!!
I'm 57 years old and have loved Abba all my life. But with this song they have truly reached new heights of greatness. It brings me to tears every time I hear it - which is often. Simply a musical masterpiece of the highest order. Wonderful. Abba - thank you thank you thank you.
I’m 59, Alan, and I think I know just what you mean. This is my favorite song on the album, and I don’t say that lightly because I love so many songs on Voyage. There are parts of this song, vocal passages, certain lyrics, that just give me chills. Thanks for sharing.
I agree with you 100% then I listen to another from Voyage... I really struggle to pick one from the set. They are all so well written, so well performed and so everything. Sorry to be a simp. But Abba really are that good.
@@silverascal and i'm also 60 guys and have felt the same way about this group ever since they burst onto the world stage in 1974 abbasolutely love them what a great time to be alive and cherish new music from this first class band. so grateful they came back and honoured their fans with new stuff. it's a great time to be alive.
One of my favorites on the album. I think most people are missing the elephant in the room. She's sitting in her garden, quietly observing the miracle of nature. Ever hear of this in this age? We needed this.. thank you Abba!
I totally agree, a lot of people haven’t quite realised yet that this is the true masterpiece of the Voyage album. It is truly remarkable and possibly the most beautifully sad song ever written.
i dont think its that easy since most songs of the album have clearly a personal meaning in terms of relationship and the bumblebee called "he" on default. i think it's again a metaphora. which I wouldnt like...wish it would be really just simply about a bumblebee
crying my eyes out. I've been a fan for 42 years and I'd never thought I'd listened to new ABBA songs again ! This one is a gem. Perhaps one of their best. Frida's voice is just amazing ! Thank you so much Agnetha, Björn; Benny and Anni-Frid for making our lives so much more beautiful.
Hi. I think that Anni-Frid, Frida Lyngstad is a person that as all people, has her own carisma and she is the other half of ABBA's voices. Each girl, despite the age has the gift of a voice that can be used on apprpriate melody. Can other singer do the chorus and Agnetha's background like her (Frida)?: Impossible! FRIDA HAS NO SUBSTITUTE! And of course, Agnetha is the best too; each in her voice type and range (Agnetha soprano, Frida, mezzosoprano). I can not imagine Agnetha being the leadvocal on "I let the music speak", "Andante Andante" and Frida being the leadvocal on "The Winner takes it all and" Slipping thru my fingers. Each has her charming and warming in her voice and projectiob of feelings.
@@markhare7574 Awesome Cavalier Spaniel! ♥️🐕 There's a story on The Dodo channel about a "woman who rescued a bee", they're such amazing little creatures 🐝
My child was born on the same day that ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo. You have brought joy to my life very much. Thank you, I love you.
"He is just a tiny fuzzy ball" - I am so grateful to Benny and Bjorn and to Frida and Agnetha for doing this special song! It should be official hymn for keeping all bees and bumblebees safe. To draw our attention to indispensable tiny things on our planet. A bee dies after producing as much as a teaspoon of honey, for us it is a teaspoon, for bees it is a whole life. I love ABBA!
Climate change has been effecting hives around the world for sometime now., With some bee species becoming critically endangered. Let's hope we can all play our part to ensure we never see the day we live without the hum of bumblebees.
@@gramophoneshane Climate change is natural. It's absurd to think that humans have had an overwhelming effect on it. Let's put it into perspective: one volcanic eruption can spew out more "greenhouse" gases into the atmosphere than the U.S. has produced in its entire history. Volcanoes have been erupting since the beginning of time, and the planet remains resilient and self-healing. After the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, the so-called experts claimed that Prince William Sound would never recover, and that the ecology of the region was destroyed forever. However, a little over five years after the spill, scientists reported that the ecosystem was back to normal. I'm not saying humans should be irresponsible. However, I AM saying that so-called environmentalists shouldn't try to force ridiculous restrictions on others based on junk science.
My Pepa passed away today and returned to the Lord, without really thinking I began listening to this album for the first time a few hours later. This song really moved me and gave me a sense of beautiful peace. I felt like this song was him telling me he’s alright and he’s finally found the peace that his failing body couldn’t allow for him. Needless to say for the first time today, knowing that he was truly gone, I actually cried quite a bit. Ani-Frid, Benny, Björn, Agnetha, your music has helped me since I was 5 years old and even younger. When I had no friends, I had you four, when I was bullied for much of elementary school your music helped me through it all, when I was diagnosed with mild-moderate Aspergers after having felt so different from the rest of the kids at school and the world your music brought me peace, when I lost my companion my dog Sunny who I had since I was about 4 your music helped me snap out of it and prevented me from descending into pure depression, when I got older and was in high school your music once again lit the way (along with the music of Frank Sinatra), when I graduated having made so many friends (rather I found a close knit family away from home) your music softened any sadness I had about leaving high school behind. So thank you ABBA once again for the music and for helping me through all the tough times, the critics and those people with their glass half empty can say all they want to say about you and this new album, but they will never take away what you did for my life, those around me, and everyone else in this world, your music is what drove me to fall in love with music and learn instruments/composition, so for that I thank you dearly. May God bless you ABBA, may God bless the ABBA fans new and old, and may God bless those going through the rough times in their life when they feel all alone, lost, and inconsolable ❤️🙏🏼🎶
I didn't think that at 66 years old, I'd be crying at such a delightful and simple song about one of our most important insects, but I am! Her voice is stunning, as are the musical chords and orchestrations. Beautifully performed!!
66 too, and ditto. Back in their day I used to say that Frida and Agnetha were two of the best female singers on the planet. I've no reason to change that now either. What a magnificent song about a very important creature in our world.
I am from The Czech Republic and before we defected from there in 1980 to America,, my parents( still alive and kicking) played ABBAS first albums back in the Late 70s when I was still crawling around on my fours. Abba was always on in the house and during each sunny day I would always catch my amazing mother dancing to it in the living room while my father was at work and in between her preparing dinner for the family. And as I out grew my childhood and into my adult life 20s, 30s, and now Late 40s,, I learn about the history of the band to see what they're all about personally and professionally regarding the 4 members. And of course I listen to old Albums(CDs) and hear them on the radio here in USA through the years and nightclubs in Dallas,Texas. One club in particular was called DETOUR on Greenville Ave. TRASH DISCO SUNDAYS..... "Dancing Queen," "The Visitors," "Voulez Vous," were amongst the songs they played. So I am a huge fan of ABBA. This song, "bumblebee" is a beeautiful song indeed but for the kids, not for adults. It belongs in kids learning show like sesame street or something. It's just too childish for me. It's the lyrics! For me it is a big X for "bumblebee."
Sí! Es un himno épico! Los humanos hoy día somos esos abejorros🦟 intentando adaptarse, sobrevivir en este loco 🌎 mundo cambiante que pretende arrebatarnos nuestra LIBERTAD. Despertad humanos!
i tell ya. when i hear my 87 year old mother in law, who is riddled with too much, sing along each time to 'of bumblebees' with joy and a smile so bright you could lighten the world i know there is still hope. thank you abba. what a gift. what a time to be living in the age of new abba music. whoever never stopped dreaming, like me, well done. our dreams came true.
We’re so privileged to live in a time where ABBA exist. Imagine never having heard Gods music. She’s perfect. I’ve loved her since being a child and I still do 💕
Been listening to ABBA since '73 when they were still "Benny, Bjorn, Anna and Frida" and their music has been the soundtrack to my life. From Voyage this track is my favorite! This track is so elegant in its simplicity and I love this (their) take on the global warming subject. Frida has always been an amazing vocalist and is sooooooo technically proficient as a vocalist that it boggles my mind. She is magnificent here and this song's simple lyrics paint such a picture. I can so see Frida sitting in a garden, sipping on a cup of tea and enjoying a beautiful day as she watches and listens to bumbles doing their thing. Those who hate this song can do so....but those of us who "see it" know this is nothing short of magnificent.
O ja, wie war. So viel Poesie und doch so hinreißend schlicht und berührend , wie nur die beiden Abba-Mädels es singen können. Ganz grosses Songwriting.
I can't get enough of Frida and her adorable accent. Her voice to me has always been like a friend coming to say hello. I hear is voice and I just smile inside and out. Frida makes my life feel so buch better when I am having a hard day.
I mean, Friday's voice actually has evolved. It has become lower in register and a little bit more fragile than it was before. But we still get the same warmth and comfort from her, the way she conveys calm and warm emotions. It is even more remarkable to think that Abba had the courage to confront themselves in their 70s to the modern music industry and market, they could have been out of place and yet they sound so endearing and good!
Abba, you are comfort music to my soul. Here I am, like I was at 14, listening to the latest Abba songs. All the years I've lived, some happy, some sad yet I hear those voices and it all disappears and I'm young again.
Literally one of the greatest songs ever created, the instrumental, the color palette, the melody, the beats..... Every single thing about this release was perfection in one of the best group releases I’ve ever experienced!!!!!!!
You know for the last 2 years, since learning they would have new music, I was afraid I would not live to hear them again! Thank you Im here and to last. (No Im not terminaly ill, as far as i know)
Something about her voice just makes my eyes well up.. with happy tears. And like many others, I never thought I'd hear new Abba music again and her voice on a new song and when the second verse kicked in, I couldn't help but get a little emotional realising how blessed I was to be listening to this song.
Dear Frida, if by any chance you are reading this comment, know that you are very special to people of all ages, nationalities, genders. You are our comfort person. Thank you for having your voice again. Thank you for the music!
Чудесная песня, какая-то вселенская гармония и нежность в ней... Детская радость и безмятежность...Оживают картинки из прошлого, когда ты маленький бежишь по летнему солнечному полю, вокруг гудят шмели и поют птицы... И бабушка приготовила обед, и парное молоко стоит на столе... А сейчас тебе 55, ты взрослый здоровый дядька, и в глаза, кажется, что-то попало... Спасибо за эту сказку, ABBA. Как долго мы вас ждали... Мир становится лучше с вашей музыкой.
This Bumblebee song is absolutely brilliant, beautiful music, and combined with the lyrics, surely melts the coldest heart. I love this video, love it, love it, love it.
Of the 10 tunes, this one and WYDWM are the ones you hum hours and days later. It’s a slow build to appreciate for some; but will capture you sooner or later as one of the best. And will not leave your head. A masterpiece for sure.
The bumblebees is a favorite. Frida, is basically telling us to stop, breathe, open your eyes and see what in front of your eyes. There is a beautiful world and we are not taking the time to see the little things in life. Frida, voice was very emotional and really you could feel your heart wrenching. Thank you for reminding us to stop and seeing the light.
THE WORLD NEEDS MUSIC WITH HEART; SOUL AND INTELLIGENCE...ABBA gIve it to the world.....NUMBER ONE ALL OVER THE WORLD.....tears of joy.....may the bumblebee fly for a long time and many the ODE TO FREEDOM reach the world as IMAGINE does.....the world is sick....and ABBA gIve us love and inspiration with music.....THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC
After a few times listening to this sing, I feel like I'm in that summer garden listening to the hum of bumblebees. Feeling carefree as I listen to the sang of Frida. Also a masterpiece, despite some sour critics who didn't listen really to this beautiful song... Feeling sad for those who never hear and/or appreciate the sound of true and timeless music. ❤️
SI ES BELLÍSIMA.... Y CUANDO TRADUZCO LAS LETRAS DEL INGLÉS AL ESPAÑOL TODAVÍA ME GUSTA AÚN MÁS.... VEO NUBES JARDINES LLENOS DE LILAS Y JACINTOS YE INSECTOS VOLANDO EN LIBERTAD POR EL AIRE LIMPIO Y ES TODO MARAVILLOSO., ES UN HIMNO AL MEDIO AMBIENTE ES PRECIOSA NUMERO UNO CON ESA MÚSICA GENIAL Y ESA PRECIOSA VOZ DE FRIDA Y LOS COROS DE AGNETHA.. GENIAL 🤩❤️🤩🤩❤️🤩❤️🤩❤️🤩❤️🤩🤩🤩
Oh my God! Am I only dreaming? This has been the "long-awaited" moment I have been waiting for 40 yrars! Our ABBA, our one and only ABBA, is back. This is an unbeievably wondeful feeling, experienced universally almost simultaneously! 🎉🎉🎉We love ABBA.Don't we?
Adorabile Frida , sembra che tutti questi lunghi anni non siano mai passati ..!! La tua ancora splendida voce mi riporta agli anni della nostra gioventu....! Grazie
Frida's voice is as healing as dozens of years ago. I can imagine the smile on her face singing this song. It reminds me of Fernando and Saltwater(1992).
There will never be another team like ABBA..They are truly unique & that's why they will go down in music history as the greatest song writers & the ladies as singers..simply the BEST!
Just listened to Fridas interview on radio 2.. she's amazing..love her...and she gives us hope by saying never say never to new Abba music...we can hope...
No. This is song of farewell with world ... Bumblebee is metaphor of soul. The world without him (read: me) I dread to think what that would be And I imaging my (read: your) distress It would be a new kind of loneliness ... But for now I'm (read: still) in my garden ...
@@cavesalamander6308 I disagree, they know what is going on in the world right know. "We good be trapped in this world", without bees there will be no human life on this planet.........and the ode of Freedom is also a sign they know that we are slaves in a Matrix.
@@CristinavdfV ("We could be trapped" to be exact.) Perhaps this is the only place in this poem (at least for me) which can be literally interpreted in "ecological" sense: the world changes too fast, poor bumblebees can die out. But even here we can treat these words as the reasoning that the world will become poorer when our souls (too fast) disappear from it. I do not consider all the lyrics of the album as a whole (maybe this is a really limited point of view) . Umm... Why do you treat "Oda To Freedom" as some "slavery in Matrix"? Even title is about _freedom_ . :-)
ABBA music, lyrics, and voices are medicine to heal the soul. The more I listen to this album the more I fall in love with it. Thanks ABBA for giving us this gift.
ABBA’s achieved the unthinkable in popular music: creating timeless pop gems while touching upon the most personal and public issues. This song is a great example of that.
ABBA, yours was the first record I ever purchased. Decades later, you still find a way to touch my heart. Thank you for your music. This old gardener loves bumble bees. Stop with the pesticides, and plant native plants, y’all.
I believe that if God sent down 2 angels to sing for us they would sound just like Frida and Agnetha. Simply amazing!!!!
Frida´s warm voice is perfect for this beautiful lyrics.. Sounds like classic ABBA
Frida's voice is like liquid gold..at 75?? just amazing. love them
Ja Frida ist die Schönste und die mit der besten Stimme. Als Kind dachte ich noch, die Blonde sei die beste. Weit gefehlt.
Be quiet. Each singer is wonderfully talented in their own way. Enough with the one is better than the other rubbish. And who's 'the blonde'? Her name is Agnetha. You can remember Frida, show some respect. @@wotangrafvonhohenfels4964
I really don’t know what to say. Abba just gets better and better. Age seems to be no barrier. They are just fantastic.
ABBA, your timing is impeccable. Our planet needs healing right now.
Frida's voice is still golden!!
Find a soon to be 76/year old that sound this way. Her voice is still noting less than amazing. It’s really insane to still sound so strong. Maybe the song is not for everyone, but you can’t deny the greatness of Frida
So true

Born in 77. My early childhood was full of ABBA because my dad was a hugh fan und so I became one too. Thank you for all the music.

I didn't think that at 66 years old, I'd be crying at such a delightful and simple song about one of our most important insects, but I am! Her voice is stunning, as are the musical chords and orchestrations. Beautifully performed!!
I'm 63. I cried my eyes out...
In this song Frida gave us an example of tender and passion for an insect that is part of our dairy life. Bravo, Frida!
66 too, and ditto. Back in their day I used to say that Frida and Agnetha were two of the best female singers on the planet. I've no reason to change that now either. What a magnificent song about a very important creature in our world.
I am 23 and me too. 💚
I cried too at this wonderful song,with a strong and sad message!
Just wow! for a song to make you cry shows the talent of ABBA, her voice is beautiful.
The greatest historical comeback ever in musical world
yep/ indeed.
Of course ....fantastic
The Beatles never got this chance but ABBA has and that’s worth everything
Pfffff ahahahahhaahah

Of all the songs on 'Voyage', I find myself listening to this one the most. So pretty, and Frida's voice so comforting.

ABBA can write a song about an insect and make it feel like an epic anthem.
Sí! Es un himno épico! Los humanos hoy día somos esos abejorros🦟 intentando adaptarse, sobrevivir en este loco 🌎 mundo cambiante que pretende arrebatarnos nuestra LIBERTAD. Despertad humanos!
Exactly - it does feel epic.

The same for me! It’s been so great to see her in the recent news, too. She sang 5-seconds of “Mamma Mia” in a news clip, just so cool!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written!!
What a voice! Almost 76 and her voice can still move one so deeply. Amazing!
Imagine this beautiful Woman Frida is in age of 76 and here voice is like 40 year before, and havent change at all ...💕😍

It is even more remarkable to think that Abba had the courage to confront themselves in their 70s to the modern music industry and market, they could have been out of place and yet they sound so endearing and good!
OH FRIDA ,WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE.
Frida is very, very amaisiiiiing!!!!!! BEAUTIFULLLLLLL!
Frida has the most beautiful voice in the world !!!!!
OK. Frida best
@@franswerts4167 I say Agnetha has an equally beautiful voice, not to mention Elvis.
@@janettgrady2394 yes is true about Agnetha ' s voice ,absolutly 👌 . But I prefer Frida's voice, but I am not a fan of Elvis thoug....sorry 😉
Feeling sad for my friends who never got to listen to these magical voices again.
Voyage is destined to remain in the soul. A masterpiece with divine music, defining the highest level of music of our time.
What a stunningly beautiful song...and Fridas vocals are amazing.
Thank god for ABBA in these dark times.
Fridas melodic tone and pipe style voice with agnethas light and bright touch...perfect 👌
This makes me cry.
Abba, you are comfort music to my soul. Here I am, like I was at 14, listening to the latest Abba songs. All the years I've lived, some happy, some sad yet I hear those voices and it all disappears and I'm young again.
Literally one of the greatest songs ever created, the instrumental, the color palette, the melody, the beats..... Every single thing about this release was perfection in one of the best group releases I’ve ever experienced!!!!!!!
God bless you Frida...wonderful song about such graceful creatures ❤️
Ouch! It is an very special experience to listen to such a matured Abba. Amazing! Please don't let it be the last one, dear Benny!
Moving tribute to nature sung to perfection by Frida. In 200 years' time people will still be listening to ABBA
I can’t believe I’m living this moment, ABBA just post a new song and I’m listening to it 🥺🥺🥺
feels so unreal but also so good, doesn't it?
This feels so magical, i feel like i travelled back in time
I know right? Feels like a dream, after all... what a good moment to be alive
There are a few more. It feels so unreal but it is real
You know for the last 2 years, since learning they would have new music, I was afraid I would not live to hear them again! Thank you Im here and to last. (No Im not terminaly ill, as far as i know)
So smart of ABBA to produce the album in the way they did. Different tastes in people but everyone finds their golden grain on the album.
A seemingly simple song (innocently child like wonder) with deep meaning wrapped up in beautiful classical music...the magic of ABBA!!!
@@SkylerBorg-bw4lx Beautiful comment! My feelings too.
Something about her voice just makes my eyes well up.. with happy tears. And like many others, I never thought I'd hear new Abba music again and her voice on a new song and when the second verse kicked in, I couldn't help but get a little emotional realising how blessed I was to be listening to this song.
Frida's voice is perfect, even at the age of 76!
Perfect for secant singer of the band
@@almajones4387 what does secant even mean lol. She is perfect and she is one of a kind.
@@firdevssurme1974 in our home land it means to the right
M@@firdevssurme1974
Dear Frida, if by any chance you are reading this comment, know that you are very special to people of all ages, nationalities, genders. You are our comfort person. Thank you for having your voice again. Thank you for the music!
I don’t thunk it’s them that read the comments sorry to dissapoint you
@@animeguygaming4803 Of course. But it have to be said : thank you for Frida !
@@descartes1638 yea that’s true
@@nilgor70 to be honest same here
Arrh sweetest flower aroma's
Xx.
Hi Frida, such a pleasure and surprise to hear you singing in English again . Much love and respect to you :)
The more you listen to the album, the more beautiful the songs get. Bumblebee has a marching song feels.
Чудесная песня, какая-то вселенская гармония и нежность в ней... Детская радость и безмятежность...Оживают картинки из прошлого, когда ты маленький бежишь по летнему солнечному полю, вокруг гудят шмели и поют птицы... И бабушка приготовила обед, и парное молоко стоит на столе... А сейчас тебе 55, ты взрослый здоровый дядька, и в глаза, кажется, что-то попало... Спасибо за эту сказку, ABBA. Как долго мы вас ждали... Мир становится лучше с вашей музыкой.
This song makes me miss people I don't even know. So stunning. The intro has a hint of Fernando. What a voice Frida!
This Bumblebee song is absolutely brilliant, beautiful music, and combined with the lyrics, surely melts the coldest heart. I love this video, love it, love it, love it.
You can enter this wonderful garden with Frida and feel it with all your senses, if you get involved in the song in a meditative way
A masterpiece
I love ABBA and have for 45 years!!
True angels 😇 😇😇😇!!
Love you ABBA forever!!
This song grows on you every time you listen to it. So light and carefree at first but with an anxiety deep under it. So beautiful and so well timed.
Of the 10 tunes, this one and WYDWM are the ones you hum hours and days later. It’s a slow build to appreciate for some; but will capture you sooner or later as one of the best. And will not leave your head. A masterpiece for sure.
Simply Gorgeous this Song.... A Tribute to Bumblebees, that only ABBA Could Make So Special.
So true!
This is perhaps the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. Thank you Abba
The bumblebees is a favorite. Frida, is basically telling us to stop, breathe, open your eyes and see what in front of your eyes. There is a beautiful world and we are not taking the time to see the little things in life.
Frida, voice was very emotional and really you could feel your heart wrenching. Thank you for reminding us to stop and seeing the light.
Only ABBA could compose and sing a song like this. Wonderful words and lyrics sung by the best group ever.
THE WORLD NEEDS MUSIC WITH HEART; SOUL AND INTELLIGENCE...ABBA gIve it to the world.....NUMBER ONE ALL OVER THE WORLD.....tears of joy.....may the bumblebee fly for a long time and many the ODE TO FREEDOM reach the world as IMAGINE does.....the world is sick....and ABBA gIve us love and inspiration with music.....THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC
After a few times listening to this sing, I feel like I'm in that summer garden listening to the hum of bumblebees. Feeling carefree as I listen to the sang of Frida. Also a masterpiece, despite some sour critics who didn't listen really to this beautiful song... Feeling sad for those who never hear and/or appreciate the sound of true and timeless music. ❤️
SI ES BELLÍSIMA.... Y CUANDO TRADUZCO LAS LETRAS DEL INGLÉS AL ESPAÑOL TODAVÍA ME GUSTA AÚN MÁS.... VEO NUBES JARDINES LLENOS DE LILAS Y JACINTOS YE INSECTOS VOLANDO EN LIBERTAD POR EL AIRE LIMPIO Y ES TODO MARAVILLOSO., ES UN HIMNO AL MEDIO AMBIENTE ES PRECIOSA NUMERO UNO CON ESA MÚSICA GENIAL Y ESA PRECIOSA VOZ DE FRIDA Y LOS COROS DE AGNETHA.. GENIAL 🤩❤️🤩🤩❤️🤩❤️🤩❤️🤩❤️🤩🤩🤩
A mais bonita do álbum voyage ABBA thank you for the music
The critics have always been horrid to Abba! But, wth cares what they think?! It's us FANS that matter here! 🥰
Oh my God! Am I only dreaming? This has been the "long-awaited" moment I have been waiting for 40 yrars! Our ABBA, our one and only ABBA, is back. This is an unbeievably wondeful feeling, experienced universally almost simultaneously! 🎉🎉🎉We love ABBA.Don't we?
Yes!🎉❤️
Of course we do!!!!!😍
I do I do I do
Yes, we do love them so very much
Absolutely!
I can’t stop listening to this song. It is sheer joy.
It really is. Makes me so happy & sad at the same time. A song about life I guess x
Adorabile Frida , sembra che tutti questi lunghi anni non siano mai passati ..!! La tua ancora splendida voce mi riporta agli anni della nostra gioventu....! Grazie
I never thought I would enjoy a song about bumblebees so much. Frida's voice is perfect
I'm blown away by this beautiful album. The maturity of their beautiful voices after 40 years
Frida's voice is as healing as dozens of years ago. I can imagine the smile on her face singing this song. It reminds me of Fernando and Saltwater(1992).
Это потрясающе
Id like to think this was one of her favourite recordings . I think she was an active environmentalist.
LONG LIVE ABBA! Pure music geniuses...we need their heavenly world to escape from our mediocre one !!!
There will never be another team like ABBA..They are truly unique & that's why they will go down in music history as the greatest song writers & the ladies as singers..simply the BEST!
i agree. Some will say the beatles are the greatest band of all time but i disagree.
Increíble voz de Frida. Sublime. Gracias ABBA
Amazing album from start to finish. Welcome back ABBA, we missed you.
Björn and Benny have made a beautiful song with a strong message!
.. and I wonder I we should have survived in our inner without your wonderfull voice❤️
Just listened to Fridas interview on radio 2.. she's amazing..love her...and she gives us hope by saying never say never to new Abba music...we can hope...
A hymn for nature! A very contemporary issue with declining bees around the world. Which this song seems to be about. A lovely song!
It's actually wild bees that are declining, not our typical honey bee.
@@helmaschine1885 I meant native bees, of course.
No. This is song of farewell with world ...
Bumblebee is metaphor of soul.
The world without him (read: me)
I dread to think what that would be
And I imaging my (read: your) distress
It would be a new kind of loneliness ...
But for now I'm (read: still) in my garden ...
@@cavesalamander6308 I disagree, they know what is going on in the world right know. "We good be trapped in this world", without bees there will be no human life on this planet.........and the ode of Freedom is also a sign they know that we are slaves in a Matrix.
@@CristinavdfV ("We could be trapped" to be exact.) Perhaps this is the only place in this poem (at least for me) which can be literally interpreted in "ecological" sense: the world changes too fast, poor bumblebees can die out. But even here we can treat these words as the reasoning that the world will become poorer when our souls (too fast) disappear from it.
I do not consider all the lyrics of the album as a whole (maybe this is a really limited point of view) .
Umm... Why do you treat "Oda To Freedom" as some "slavery in Matrix"? Even title is about _freedom_ . :-)
Beautiful! Frida's voice is so beautiful! Thank you, ABBA, for the new album! I love it soooooo much!
frida seems so free and enjoying her life... happy for her..... this song is all positive vibes
I am thinking is this the most beautiful song ever recorded in the whole history of recorded music
Love the planet we live and savour the beauty all around where you find it
The song is very beautiful! Bravo Frida!!!! The voice is amaising!!!!!!
ABBA music, lyrics, and voices are medicine to heal the soul. The more I listen to this album the more I fall in love with it. Thanks ABBA for giving us this gift.
So true
ABBA,stil the best group until now
This song deserves the place of 'I Have A Dream' on Gold.
Oh no you can't take away God given talent. What a song after 40 years
God how I missed hearing your voice, Frida. This is beautiful.
ABBA’s achieved the unthinkable in popular music: creating timeless pop gems while touching upon the most personal and public issues.
This song is a great example of that.
This beautiful song nourishes the soul, brilliant singing by Frida !
As carefree as a bumblebee, beautiful sentiment. Wish the world was pure as honey.
ABBA, yours was the first record I ever purchased. Decades later, you still find a way to touch my heart. Thank you for your music. This old gardener loves bumble bees. Stop with the pesticides, and plant native plants, y’all.
This song has really grown on me. Beautiful and decent.Abba still has the melody magic.
Why would they? They're timeless legends, you just don't lose it. Just like trash like slagdonna will always be trash.
