Notice how many different languages there are in these comments? I’ve already seen people writing in German, Spanish, Russian, Swedish and Greek. That’s how beloved ABBA is all around the world. The didn’t have to write and record new songs to do a reunion, and they certainly didn’t have to make their comeback single sound like an instant classic. But they did it anyway. It wasn’t nostalgia that made me cry watching this video,; rather, it was the fact that they care so much about their legacy that they waited until they had a song this good. Thank you for the music.
Me and my dad (81yrs.) were sitting at the dining table and listened to Abba's new songs, yesterday... while we watched through the tall windows of the living-room into the green of our garden. We were near tears because of remembering my mom, who liked Abba so much and passed away 5 years ago. There was so much melancholie, consoling and joy at the same time by hearing ABBA's wonderful new songs. Mom, we would have danced through the living-room, if you were still alive.
Dear ABBA,.... I’m a 58 year old retired US Army Paratrooper, and I just listened to your song, ”I still have faith in you”. I’m crying like a small child, but I have a huge smile on my face, and warmth in my Heart. I have the feeling of happiness once again thanks to you. I was married to my beautiful wife Lisa for 34 WONDERFUL years....she was my everything. She played your music at our wedding, and on our anniversaries, and when I returned home from deployments away from her while I was in the military....she adored you, and your music! YOU made her so happy with your music. I took her to see the Broadway show “Mama Mia” in New York for our last wedding anniversary and she was so happy,... YOU ...made her happy, both on the inside and on the outside. Because of YOU, I have this vision, this mental picture of her in my mind from that night with her huge smile and big brown eyes bright and happy...thank you for that gift!! She passed away very suddenly not too long after taking her to see that show, and every time since then, when I would hear your songs on the radio, I can picture her smile, but your music has been fading from the radio as the years have gone by. But Tonight, hearing you sing once again!!...you have brought my Lisa back to me... I can see her clearly in my mind once again, ..your music has brought her back to life, and back to me In ways I just I can not explain....I just wish she could have been hear to witness this event, she would have gone crazy!! LOL...Thank you!! You have brought peace back to my soul again, and I can feel the love in my heart once more where it has been a cold and lonely place since she left to be my angel in heaven. Thank you, thank you, my dear dear friends, ABBA....and one more thing my old friends.... YES,..yes, ..... I DO hear the drums now, .........Fernando.😇
Reading your open letter got me grabbing some more kleenex, like many ABBA fans, watching their music video took me to roller coaster of emotions,back when i was a teen,the laidback carefree times,that was 40 yrs ago.ABBA's music gave us joy and hope for challenging period many of us are facing now.
My father was in a coma for years. He came out of his coma 5 weeks ago. His voice was gone, but he could move. My mother put the Abba CD on and this song was playing. Since then he has been listening to this CD and others by Abba on repeat. He is smiling again and he feels something like joy. He died three weeks later... but the 2 weeks with Abba and us gave him a lot of joy. He was happy. He lost 10 years of his life but died happy with his favorite music. Abba is more than just music.
Can't believe that those are the voices of two ladies in their seventies; they sound just as good as they did 40+ years ago! And the song is lovely; was worried that their new songs wouldn't live up to the brilliant music they produced in the past but those worries were unfounded. REALLY happy they are having this reunion; I feel like I'm a teenager all over again!
I absolutely cried from watching the video The memories of Abba will be treasured and cherished forever So loved and adored all over the world Love u so much Abba my treasures ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
@@sandrahertzke8387 I am 33, my uncle used to carry me on when I was a young child. I used to hear the music playing in the background. Sadly my uncle passed away in 2019. I live in UK and couldn't attend the funeral in India. Last night, I came across the new music track and it took me back in time. I was touched by the song..
@@karollorek6344 You probably do as well... fancy saying that to an ABBA fan. There are lovers in this world... and you aren't one of them! Happy misery to you and keep sucking away.
The tears just ran down my face. I can not find any words. This comeback means all the more at this time, when hardly any special songs have been released for years. The second time you hear it, you realize the potential of this beautiful song. I also see it through the eyes of my parents, who were then as old as I am now. ABBA thank you very much for this wonderful music. I am deeply moved.
@@copypolice Get a grip. She's been known as Frida for many, many years and signs and uses that nickname herself. Of course her full name is Anni-Frid but pedants like you are toxic.
Why are we crying? Living in a bad world, full of disappointments, a former good friend that we thought we would never see again has now returned to us. And he still has faith in us! We live a dream. Thanks and Long Life, ABBA!
@@fredblahblah.6352 It depends on how you look. It's more than music. It's really sweet, but it's more emotional. Positive. Sometimes we can be taken by surprise by our own reactions. After all, feelings, emotions, are human "imperfections", they do not belong to a certain genre, the comments here really prove it ...
Alright, so here I am, a 54 year old guy who normally listens to prog, metal and rock. Along comes ABBA, my first love from when I was little, long lost but never forgotten, and it makes me happier than anything in a long, long, long while. Dear ABBA, you found the right moment to make the world seem a whole of a lot brighter. Thank you! :-)
I was driving along earlier today when this emotional song was broadcast on the radio....I could've sworn it was ABBA..deeper female voices, but familiar....it was! I thought to myself, "I know all the Abba songs, for what reason had I missed listening to this one all those years ago? Why hadn't I heard it even once over the years? Was this some obscure B-side extra that had been strangely uncovered?" When I heard that it had only just come out, the enormity of the reunion and collaboration dawned on me....one of the greatest pop groups of all time made a comeback after almost four decades, against all odds! All still alive and kicking...fantastic! 🇸🇪❤️
Yep its abba alright they havent changed abit and yes this song sends shivers down my spine can not wait for the new album abbamania is back and this time i get to experience every second of it bring it on see u in london
Nikt inny już nigdy nie potrafi wrócić po czterdziestoletniej przerwie z nowym albumem i osiągnąć takiego sukcesu, jakby takiej nieobecności wcale nie było.
It took 4 seventy-something Swedes to show what pop music should be and can be and simultaneously shame the current music industry in all its ugliness. Lord bless them.
w jednym z komentarzy ktoś napisał,że ten powrót sprawił wielu ludziom ogromną radość ,poczuli,że wrócili dobrzy przyjaciele po wielu wielu latach, którzy byli bardzo wyczekiwani
This isn't just a new song from ABBA. It is an "ANTHEM" for their triumphant return. A reminder, for everyone, that the Legacy and Legend of ABBA lives on.
I'm almost 16, and so I didn't grow up during the times that ABBA released their past albums, but my dad introduced me to their music when I was younger. We would listen to their songs during car trips and I would always enjoy dancing to them. My father unfortunately passed away when I was 9, but listening to ABBA brings back all the best memories that I have with my dad.💗 Their music has always made me smile and these new songs have truly brightened up my day!
I remember being 16 and going to woolworths to buy...ABBA the album..and now I'm almost sixty( I blinked and 40 years flew by ) abba',s music had accompanied my odyssey like an old friend I would like to pass that baton to you. ..enjoy the roller coaster 🎢 of live love and sadness for its these that make us human 🐎
There must have been, literally, millions of ABBA fans, who have passed away and who had longed, for decades, that they would reunite and produce new songs, but missed out and never got to experience what we are experiencing now. Very sad, indeed! Makes me realise how lucky I am and makes me appreciate being alive now and able to join in the celebration of their much-longed-for resurrection. Thank you ABBA!!!
I was in tears the whole way through this. I am a 44 year old man but this took me back to being that 5 year old boy sitting with his mother on the couch listening to all her ABBA vinyl's with her. ABBA was her band. She loved them like she loved her kids and she imparted that love of them into all of us. Phew 5 min 19 second emotional rollercoaster. Thank you ABBA. I love you guys!
I just love that they didn’t change their sound. They didn’t allow the current generation of music to tinker with their authenticity. This is perfection
Very well said. But reading so many positive comments from young people also make wonder that this instant success may mean that all these last decades there was nothing similar quality coming
And I loved that Benny said that there was no way for them to even begin creating the "so called" modern sound of today's music. Like he couldn't even wrap his head around it.
A brilliant song indeed. But listening to the vocal line "Do I have it in me" I feel a little bit reminded on Pinks' "Cover me in sunshine". But of course I'm very happy for having a new ABBA album being released soon... Never thought I would have this in my life again...
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever even let myself imagine that Abba would come back. This is one of the best things that's happened in the history of the world!
@@danneman5036 Thanks for saying that, but I'm gonna assume that his comment was in the same spirit of hyperbole as mine was. I thought it was funny, made me laugh.
Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, and Taylor Swift don't need grandfather to tell them anything. They have made ground-breaking music which will affect generations.
And as a professional music producer I can tell you there's not a moment of autotune on the vocals - compared to 90+% of today's music artists. What beauty and cosmic control of their vocals these girls still have! Songwriting is perfect and elaborate as always and their production today is top notch and timeless, none the less! Amazing come back of the True Legends.
Even back in the day I don't think they ever relied on trendy gimmicks. Listening to most of the old stuff, it's simply well-recorded and well-produced normal vocals, drums, guitars, bass, piano etc, and some effect on choruses. All the magic was in the songwriting and their performance.
My dad introduced me to ABBA, he's been listening to your cassette and CDs when I was a kid. When he died this year, he was 74. I created a playlist with all his favorite songs, and most of ABBA's songs are there. Knowing that you released a song 40years after and on the same year he died makes me feel something. Thank you for the music, ABBA. Long live.

"We want Abba!" That's when I was a kid and became a fan. My children were born and Abba was part of it. Now I am a grandfather several times over and my grandchildren sing along to Abba songs by heart. My grandchildren love Abba, just like my children. They are not only icons of music history, they are also part of the family. It is a dream that they make music again. We can only thank them from the bottom of our hearts.
Ich bin 58 Jahre alt und höre Abba seit über 45 Jahren. Ihre Musik hört sich auch nach so langer Zeit immer noch zeitlos wundervoll an und als die neuen Songs rauskamen, war das genau das was ich mir von Abba gewünscht habe. Songs, die auch in 50 Jahren noch gehört werden. I love Abba
My dad died this year, he was a huge fan of Abba and he was waiting for this song with a smile on. Now it's been five months since he lost the battle against COVID-19, but I know he is singing this song in heaven.
That is so true ... they were a certain kind of beautiful we've never seen since. When my friend told me yesterday they were "coming back", it was every single "One of Us is Crying" heard over 100 times - only, with joy (that has got to be one of the greatest tracks of all time 🥳) ... SO excited!
I think that, after these 39 years, Benny, Björn, Agnetha and Frida have finally understood that they are an immense part of the history of music. I want to believe that, by accepting that responsibility and acting with their well known humility, they know deep down that they owe humanity one more gift. It is not a matter of money. I'm 56. Since 1974 I have experienced the release of all their singles and albums with great excitement, and I could never imagine ABBA releasing another after 'The Visitors', which marked the end of an era. Having listened to two new songs, it wouldn't be fair to have an opinion of the new album, though it already sounds wonderful. It may not be an ABBA reunion the way people wish, but the only idea of enjoying a new album is a blessing. I don't think there is a single week in my life that I have not listened to their music, which has proven to be timeless and beyond all trends. Thanks once again for the music, ABBA!
This song is a perfect re-introduction of ABBA to the world. It sounds new and old all at once and epitomizes what has always made them brilliant. The moment I heard Frida hit that lower register it brought tears to my eyes! You can hear the life and experience in her voice and it adds another layer to their sound that just wouldn't have been possible in the 1970s or 1980s. I'm so excited to hear the rest of the album!
Don't Shut Me Down, their other new single, is also an amazing reintroduction. While this one is a sweeping ballad, Don't Shut Me Down is an energectic dance track full of high melodies. Love it!
Let’s have a thought for all the ABBA fans who have passed away in forty years, we are fortunate to witness it, it’s like an extraordinary cosmic event. Thank you !
This song is incredible for a group in their seventies. Now, you can hear the age in their voices, but it just makes it better! They do not need to try and sound the way did then to make a powerful song. Thank you ABBA.
Why? Firstly, aren't they rich enough? Secondly, massive album sales certainly don't indicate if the music is any good. Isn't that the main factor? We already know they are popular.
@@peteryoung4016 Don’t be a pill. I’m in a community with exploding COVID-19 Delta cases all around us. I’m vaccinated. But we still have so much death and despair. I’m a retired RN. My FRIENDS are taking their lives into their hands ever single damn day. EVERY. SINGLE. DAMN. DAY. They come home spent and oh so depressed and discouraged. If a group like ABBA can come back and infuse some hope and joy amidst death and sorrow-please don’t ruin it for others. This has been the hardest period of time i can remember, and I’m (nearly) 62. Please don’t judge. Allow us to excited about good news for a change!!
@@drieuxkoeppel8152 Drieux, I actually fully agree with you in the context of what you said regarding covid! Absolutely if Abba's comeback infuses hope and joy to people at this time, that really is great. It has been a terrible time for many I personally know too, and anything that makes people happier is of course welcome. In the context of that, the debate whether the music is 'great' or not becomes very irrelevant. A parallel possibly is popular music of WW2 where some of it wasn't always 'great' music but it gave pleasure to many people, and that in itself is admirable. I certainly don't want to judge in the context of what you said and wish you all the best.
Just think, that beautiful, low, loving voice is coming from a 75 year old woman who has been an incredible performer for more than 60 years, and still is loved by the world! Love Frida!
ABBA, you have done something that no one has been able to accomplish in the past 2 years, you've managed to take people's minds off COVID 19 and put a huge smile on the worlds face again and it's so good to see the world smile again. Thank you.
I'm happy they sound like they made you think of something other than COVID but I'm sure you're speaking for a very limited amount of people there, this didn't even take my mind off what was for tea that night, in fact it sounds awful but I'm happy they have the ability to make others like yourself happy which is all that counts
I love how vintage and mature this sounds. They could have tried to suck up to the trends in a desperate attempt to sound "contemporary" (whatever that means...), but instead they delivered something that continues their beautiful legacy. I see this as a sign of integrity, not to mention a deep respect to their loyal fans. I still would have prefered to see them in their current selves, instead of younger versions of the band members, but I understand that this serves as a way to promote their avatar concerts. The interview clips where you see the four of them recording these songs and/or discussing them are extremely moving.
I disagree. They did sound very fresh and modern then. But this really sounds tired, dated and actually mediocre. It is a shame. I had hoped they could have made themselves sound still relevant instead of just a inferior carbon copy of 1977.
@@nathanharris-composer7362 they are all in their 70s. Trying to sound like their younger selves would have been ridiculous. This is mature, reflective and appropriate. It's just what their fans need, and a wonderful way to celebrate their legacy.
@@mrsalmostpersuaded With respect I disagree. I am a fan too and this just sounds dull and uninspired. I had really hoped for more inspired songs. I think their age is not relevant. But I respect your opinion.
We didn't know how much we missed them, their celestial harmonies, their underlying melancholy, their quietly heartbreaking lyrics, their soul-reaching melodies...
Angtha, Bjorn, Benny, Anni. ABBA, gracias por la música, estoy temblado y no sé si llorando pero feliz, cuando los sueños de volar abrazaron nuestros anhelos de libertad ABBA siempre estabas ahí . Gracias ABBA. Desde el otro lado del mundo Bogotá Colombia Suramérica
@@hajnalkakun7665ABBA don't win bc they don't suck up to anyone or to the times and current 'taste' - they do things their way! But it would be so cool if they did anyway 🙂✌️
I’m actually crying. I’m only 18 but grew up listening to all of ABBA’s songs, I absolutely loved them. My mum and I always sang & danced to their songs throughout my childhood, they are some of my most precious memories. I can’t wait to listen to this with my mum, we’ll both probably get really emotional. I remember saying on my 17th birthday while singing and dancing to Dancing Queen with my mum that I hoped ABBA would make a return and now it’s happening. I’m so happy, they’re still so magical after all this time. So grateful that my mum introduced me to them growing up so I never missed out on the true magic that is ABBA🥰♥️
My mom who was 80 years old passed away in December 27, 2023. She loved ABBA and She was lucky to be still alive when this album got released back in 2021 and got to listen to it. I'm just glad she managed to enjoy ABBA's Vogage album still alive and in great health. She wasn't sick when she passed away. Just that night of December 27, 2023 she closed her eyes and that was all. Her time in this world was up and God called her to his presence. Fly high mom, may you rest in peace, I'll love you forever. Please keep watching over us from heaven.
My sincere condolences to you, thank you for sharing this experience. I am so glad for you and your mom to have the opportunity to share common interest/passion for ABBA. Her time, as you said, was maybe up and God called her, but she lives on in your memories and is still with you in your heart. May she rests in peace.
Bless you, and my Mum was a huge Abba fan as well, just like her girls, would have loved her to have heard the new songs, but she sadly passed a few years before, but that's wonderful your Mum was able to enjoy them. xxx
To be honest, no matter, how old you are... you could be 10 years old or you could be 100 years old. Every human being knows who ABBA is and can name at least one song. ABBA are legends! I am 22 years old and I'm a huge ABBA fan. They inspired so many musicians with their music and now they're back and the world is a better place for now
Im not the crying kind of man, being all for heavy, death and black metal for decades. But this broke me, there is nothing greater or more precious than Abba.
No Summer Breeze or Wacken without someone blasting ABBA from their speakers at full volume. There's a certain pureness to their music no other band really has. Weird to describe.
Frida continues to stun us all with her faultless classical mezzo-soprano voice after so many years. I get severe goosebumps listening to this enchanting song.
One of Abba's secrets is that when Agneta or Frida were not in the foreground in a given song they did their best to make the "first" one even better. Their "competition" has always been about better sharing and helping rather than shining separately.
Only Abba could release a Self-reflective and totally touching song like this. They don't conform to trends but write music as they genuinely feel. There has never been and never will be a pop group that comes anywhere near them. Absolutely class and quality. I Absolutely respect and thank them. ❤
I totally agree Anthony. Abba really are true masters of their art, there will never be a group like them again. As a teenager they were my heroes and as a woman now on the very wrong side of 50 ….. they write this song with its beautiful haunting melody and recapture my teenage heart all over again. Thank you Abba ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What can I say... I moved to Sweden because of ABBA, I lived there for ten years and learned Swedish. I am now a professional translator from Swedish to Spanish, so I owe them not only the happy times I have spent listening to their music, but also ten wonderful years in Sweden and now, back in Spain, my profession. Such a wonderful present to all your fans! ABBA, thank you for your music!
@@Jucelegario I'd rather live there than either the UK or US! I hear life in America nowadays is hell for the common worker with relatively low pay and soaring rents etc!
@@jonathanclarke281 I think you need to read more news about Sweeden lol. You can live like a king anywhere in the world, provided you have the money for it.
@@Jucelegario true but there's little abject poverty in Sweden compared to the US where single mothers who work fulltime live with their kids in their station wagons because rents are too high! One mother was pulling in 2k a month but was afraid of being found out by her employer and subsequently fired!
I was a kid in the 1970's and in the 1970's there was no way you weren't exposed to ABBA. I was always a rocker so I looked down my nose at ABBA. As I've grown older, and became a musician myself, I have developed an appreciation for what ABBA did. They were 4 talented musicians that created a unique sound. No one ever sounded like them before or since. Since so much of what is put out in the music industry is cookie cutter crap having a sound all your own is a huge accomplishment.
ABBA was an easy target for a mass of "serious rock critics" decades back.They were slagging them off and got rejected because"pap"music wasnt supposed to be serious stuff.But believe it or not it wasnt only the popmusic fans and closet rockers abba fans who disagreed.A lot of rock musicians acknowledged their geniuses and openly expressed their positive opinion about them back then. Such as Richie Blackmoore,Ian gillan,Bruce Springsteen, the guys from The Clash who also attended their 1979 Wembley gigs to name but a few.
I was the same as you then in the 70,s.i loved my soul music, funky stuff and disco. I kind of closed my mind to other types of music.the exception to my own rule was steely dan, doobie brothers and the eagles.i would see abba as been a pop band and I would not take much notice of them.how wrong was i.over the past 20 years I have gone back and listened to their music, and how beautiful and clever they are.i find myself actually crying at this track.wonderful......
It's so heartwarming here in YT but when they announced the news on twt, people there were just like "No". A person even said "I don't think their fans know what a digital concert is" Music is for all ages!
@@souju_13 yeah I saw the reactions on twt and I thought it's really sad that people react like that for cb of one of the greatest band of the world :(
I’ve only been a Abba fan for like 2 weeks I was born in 2004 so abba was way before my time but this song has already got me tearing like I’ve been a fan for 50 years waiting for the reunion
After all these years and all the changes in music and many artists changing their music to keep up with the times and yet ABBA still manage to keep their sound intact and it still fits in with today's music. Any aspiring artist needs to look no further than ABBBA for inspiration, they are truly the original band of all time.

Nice change from the past two decades of mostly crap. A beautiful lady who can sing beautifully. Never thought I would have the privilege of listening to new ABBA songs.
This brings me to tears, and I am only 28. ABBA has been the positive anchor in my life. I just found out in the last week that my friend died, I lost my job, my dad’s cancer came back, I have pneumonia and broken ribs, but this makes things a little better. I am currently sobbing just hearing their music. I. Not “supposed” to like this kind of music as I have two classical music degrees, but ABBA … thank you for making things better. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Yes you are. Abba's music is like a mix of their various musical loves all combined into their own creations. You can hear some classical elements buried in it.
Crazy that Agnetha and Anni-Frid are in their 70's, yet barely lost a step vocally with these two new songs. And what's more mind blowing is that these songs have such a classic Abba "sound" to them. It's as if they were recorded in the 70's alongside their other hits. I am so impressed by these releases..truly love Abba.
@Christine Ayres Yes indeed. And I know they weren't keen to perform on stage themselves, because they were worried that people wouldn't want to see an old ABBA. But I honestly think no one would care
@@Mazikeen1809 We're just grateful to see (and hear) them back, whatever they want to give us! It would have been exhausting, and not much fun, for them to tour again.

We need to make these singles and this album the most successful ever! Buy the CDs, download them, stream them. Let’s see ABBA at the top of the charts once more!
They have not united the world,with just two songs. Please, back up your statement. I would like to hear why you believe your statement? Those two songs are uncharted, the album will not come out until November of this year and a virtual concert not until 2022! So how did they change the world 🌎?
To all of you who commented my statement. Those two new songs don't come anywhere near the classic ABBA songs that I love! One song is just music and there is no ABBA members in it. I still have faith in you just shows a collage of ABBA. It was addressed to Aurora Hoya: who said they meaning ABBA single handedly united the world and no one else could have done that! What does that mean, Aurora, doesn't explain why the songs changed the world ,she just assumes they do? ABBA, when they broke up was not that popular in the United States. ABBA became more popular after their songs were featured in movies ,a greatest hits album in the 90s and a wonderful musical,then the movies called Momma Mia 1 & 2. Which between those 2 movies grossed over 1 billion dollars. These things I mentioned made them extremely popular. Their classic ABBA songs are still very popular for the reasons I just related to you. Aurora,gives a statement with no facts! Which you see often on TH-cam comments on all types of music. I don't think these songs are great, they are good but they will not change the world. There is a lot of promo going on for these songs, future album and virtual concert( s). ABBA, hired the best people in the business for the virtual concerts. Bjorn & Benny are great songwriters and have done work on music projects after the group disbanded. However, if you notice there are a lot of subscriber groups & people with TH-cam channels writing the reviews. That alone sends up red flags for me! Like I said, I like the songs but they are not great. When you compare them to the original ABBA songs, they don't stand a chance. These are promo videos, there are not real videos. They were put out there to test the waters. ABBA should rest on the succuss they have created from their catalogue of songs. ABBA ,is being very cautious in releasing only two songs and not the album. You have to wait until November for the album and then digital concerts or virtual concerts. I like Paul McCartney's style. He was with the Beatles first, then Wings and then a solo act. He has been playing for many decades and has not lost a beat. When my wife and I saw him at a live not virtual sold out concert at our local major league Baseball Park we were very happy. If you can't play live, your music won't be any good. ABBA to me does not like the fact, that others took hold of their music and made it so famous. Now they want a chance to do something worthwhile. This is all promotion, they won't be performing live and that means they can't do it. What has ABBA been doing for 40 years? Not playing music! I hope it works out for them. However, I think it is a public relations game. I heard Bela Fleck & his wife this morning on the radio. Bela is 63 and has been playing for decades. He was poignant when talking to the host and played live and the sound was excellent. I am not buying into this program that ABBA is trying to do! I am a guy who enjoys music especially on vinyl because it replicates the natural sound of music. I will not take the bait like a fish would before it takes a bite. What will ABBA do after the one album and digital/virtual concerts? It is not a reunion. Why are there no ABBA members singing in the videos? So , I will pass on the whole thing. I will look at it from the outside. I just don't understand why no one can see through this thing as not 100% real! I am not being negative, I am being realistic. ABBA has been planning this for years as one of the male members said. I recently saw another Scandinavian group do a live version of a famous hit from the 1985 called " Take on me" by A-ha. The lead singers name is Morten Harket. He did an acoustic live version of that song. His voice was strong and to me it was an improvement on the original.A-ha had been playing and making albums most of the time since their 1985 hit. I just don't buy or like what ABBA is doing. BTW, don't assume my political party affiliation. Please, stick to the music. Don't stray into another field, this happens often on TH-cam.
The first album I owned was Abba Arrival... a Christmas present -- with a mono cassette player! -- from Mum in 1976. We weren't well off, and she had 4 of us to buy for, so this was a big deal for her. But it was a huge disappointment for me, because I wanted Tubular Bells! Abba? ABBA? Not Led Zeppelin? Not Pink Floyd? Not Yes? Thanks Mum, it's... er, just what I wanted. 45 years later I still listen to Tubular Bells and the rest sometimes, but this new music has made me cry. Abba might not have been what I wanted back then, but their music has been a constant in my life -- our lives -- all this time, and now I get great pleasure from belting out some of their greatest hits on guitar. What used to be 'just pop music' have become timeless classics as relevant today as they were at the time... if I'd bothered to listen. What can I say? I was young! Neither I nor Abba are young any more, and you can hear that in the new work. But it's not old as in rusty Saab, it's old as in fine wine; old as in wisdom; old as in experienced. Old as in precious, because the older you get, the less time's left and the less chance there is you'll hear more from them. I'll be buying the new album and playing it to my Mum. Mum may tap her foot, she may not; time will tell. Dementia has stolen almost all of her, so I can't thank her for that long lost Abba Arrival cassette. But I can keep trying to make her as happy as possible as she fades, so cruelly, away. I owe her that. Abba owe us nothing, but this new music is a real, unexpected delight. May they continue to fade away gracefully... wonderfully... joyously. Thank you for the music!
Beautiful words. ABBA on cassette brings back memories. My parents bought "ABBA the Singles" on double vinyl, and my father recorded it to cassette for me and my sister to play on our Walkmans (actually a cheaper equivalent). One of my first purchases was "The Visitors" on cassette, still one of my all-time favorite albums. ABBA and Mike Oldfield have the same musical purity, if you will (note-perfect, melodic brilliance). Hence Mike did a cover version of "Arrival". Even though he made many albums in between, Oldfield's "Return to Ommadawn" brought me close to tears, because it was a return to the pristine beauty of the early albums such as "Ommadawn". Likewise, ABBA's new songs (new for us but actually recorded and originally announced in 2018) is also a return to the pristine beauty of, say, "Like an angel..." on The Visitors. The new songs sound familiar yet fresh at the same time. An absolutely brilliant comeback.
What a wonderful tribute to your mother. Keep talking to mum, she may seem like she is unaware of what is happening but I know she still hears and understands every word. Take care mate.
So sorry to hear about your mum. My mum has the same illness too but when she saw the new song on tv today she remembered how much she liked Abba. I remember listening to the Arrival album growing up as my Auntie had the album. Looking forward to the new album, best wishes.
@@joannegeoghegan3006 Best of wishes to you and your mother too. It's a very tough disease to experience and witness, but that doesn't stop us savoring the good times... well, moments when they happen. SOS has lyrics which are all too appropriate to our circumstances. I find singing it cathartic! :-)
40 years later and a band of 4 people still have the power to make generations of people fall to their knees with just the words of a song it’s amazing how people all over the world and people of all different ages all still know how amazing this band truly is
Words can not describe what ABBA means to everyone especially us that grew up with them.A band that has been gone for 40 years and in 4 days has 14 million views its breathtaking.Thank you ABBA thanks for the memories and for the new ones.
That absolute truth, I grew up with them, their voices bring tears to my eyes, I remember how I danced "The winner takes it all" with my first love, and so on , and so on...All the best to the Legends!
I wonder how many grown ass people are literally in tears, happy to the point of literally shaking, that ABBA is back... They _are_ back... This is the ABBA I remember and _never stopped loving._ I have faith in you!

Undeniable. Unmistakeable. Pure ABBA from beginning to end. I wasn't sure how I would feel hearing new stuff. What would 40 Years Later ABBA music sound like. I never dreamed they would stick so closely to the original sound. This really is as if the last 40 years never happened and the next ABBA album dropped as it would have 4 decades ago.
I went to their very wet Sydney show with my dad in 1977, I was only 11. Today I cried as I listened to these new songs. I don't know why I cried, the emotion just welled up from inside. In this dark time there was something released, and the tears brought healing in a way that I cannot understand. Thank you!
I, like many Abba fans cried with joy and a feeling of eurphoria. Like everything is alright again. Don’t worry . We got Abba. Crazy eh, but that’s how it feels
David, I was at that concert too. Everyone was soaked to the bone but nobody was going home till they'd heard every song! Such a vivid and glorious memory! And today I wept as well. People we loved so much and thought we'd lost forever are back! And so are the fans. Yay!!!! What a great day!
I had tears in my eyes too. They created the soundtrack of my youth. Witnessing that what they are most present to now is the love for each others touched me deeply and even seems to put my own life in perspective. Incredible really
You hear the age in their voices, yet it is still undeniably ABBA. Top tier production, clear winks to their past, a bit of ambiguity if they sing about their friendship or the fans...They will never lose their magic (touch).
You do hear the age, but it's absolutely none the worse for it either. I actually find it really touching and endearing. Such a wonderfully wistful, slightly vulnerable sounding opener after 40 long years.
Hey, I'm not complaining either. The very fact that you hear the age is a compliment, proving they don't need trickery to sound 'perfect'. 40 years passed but they still sound like that? 🙌
Notice how many different languages there are in these comments? I’ve already seen people writing in German, Spanish, Russian, Swedish and Greek. That’s how beloved ABBA is all around the world. The didn’t have to write and record new songs to do a reunion, and they certainly didn’t have to make their comeback single sound like an instant classic. But they did it anyway. It wasn’t nostalgia that made me cry watching this video,; rather, it was the fact that they care so much about their legacy that they waited until they had a song this good. Thank you for the music.

Me and my dad (81yrs.) were sitting at the dining table and listened to Abba's new songs, yesterday... while we watched through the tall windows of the living-room into the green of our garden. We were near tears because of remembering my mom, who liked Abba so much and passed away 5 years ago. There was so much melancholie, consoling and joy at the same time by hearing ABBA's wonderful new songs. Mom, we would have danced through the living-room, if you were still alive.

Had a little cry reading that. ABBA transcends everything and just makes people happy.
Dear ABBA,....
I’m a 58 year old retired US Army Paratrooper, and I just listened to your song, ”I still have faith in you”. I’m crying like a small child, but I have a huge smile on my face, and warmth in my Heart. I have the feeling of happiness once again thanks to you.
I was married to my beautiful wife Lisa for 34 WONDERFUL years....she was my everything. She played your music at our wedding, and on our anniversaries, and when I returned home from deployments away from her while I was in the military....she adored you, and your music! YOU made her so happy with your music.
I took her to see the Broadway show “Mama Mia” in New York for our last wedding anniversary and she was so happy,... YOU ...made her happy, both on the inside and on the outside. Because of YOU, I have this vision, this mental picture of her in my mind from that night with her huge smile and big brown eyes bright and happy...thank you for that gift!! She passed away very suddenly not too long after taking her to see that show, and every time since then, when I would hear your songs on the radio, I can picture her smile, but your music has been fading from the radio as the years have gone by. But Tonight, hearing you sing once again!!...you have brought my Lisa back to me... I can see her clearly in my mind once again, ..your music has brought her back to life, and back to me In ways I just I can not explain....I just wish she could have been hear to witness this event, she would have gone crazy!! LOL...Thank you!! You have brought peace back to my soul again, and I can feel the love in my heart once more where it has been a cold and lonely place since she left to be my angel in heaven.
Thank you, thank you, my dear dear friends, ABBA....and one more thing my old friends....
YES,..yes, .....
I DO hear the drums now, .........Fernando.😇

Reading your open letter got me grabbing some more kleenex, like many ABBA fans, watching their music video took me to roller coaster of emotions,back when i was a teen,the laidback carefree times,that was 40 yrs ago.ABBA's music gave us joy and hope for challenging period many of us are facing now.
She listens from heaven ❤ hugs from a Swede!
My father was in a coma for years. He came out of his coma 5 weeks ago. His voice was gone, but he could move. My mother put the Abba CD on and this song was playing. Since then he has been listening to this CD and others by Abba on repeat. He is smiling again and he feels something like joy. He died three weeks later... but the 2 weeks with Abba and us gave him a lot of joy. He was happy. He lost 10 years of his life but died happy with his favorite music. Abba is more than just music.

I was driving along earlier today when this emotional song was broadcast on the radio....I could've sworn it was ABBA..deeper female voices, but familiar....it was! I thought to myself, "I know all the Abba songs, for what reason had I missed listening to this one all those years ago? Why hadn't I heard it even once over the years? Was this some obscure B-side extra that had been strangely uncovered?" When I heard that it had only just come out, the enormity of the reunion and collaboration dawned on me....one of the greatest pop groups of all time made a comeback after almost four decades, against all odds! All still alive and kicking...fantastic! 🇸🇪❤️

And as a professional music producer I can tell you there's not a moment of autotune on the vocals - compared to 90+% of today's music artists. What beauty and cosmic control of their vocals these girls still have! Songwriting is perfect and elaborate as always and their production today is top notch and timeless, none the less! Amazing come back of the True Legends.
Even back in the day I don't think they ever relied on trendy gimmicks. Listening to most of the old stuff, it's simply well-recorded and well-produced normal vocals, drums, guitars, bass, piano etc, and some effect on choruses. All the magic was in the songwriting and their performance.

"We want Abba!" That's when I was a kid and became a fan. My children were born and Abba was part of it. Now I am a grandfather several times over and my grandchildren sing along to Abba songs by heart. My grandchildren love Abba, just like my children. They are not only icons of music history, they are also part of the family. It is a dream that they make music again. We can only thank them from the bottom of our hearts.
There is nothing to say. Not only you made our youth brighter and better, we grew old with you. Thank you, ABBA!!!
Beautiful!! Loving song
Какое состарились?! Абба показали миру, что старости НЕТ! Есть только ЖИЗНЬ! И она РАЗНАЯ!
Ich bin 58 Jahre alt und höre Abba seit über 45 Jahren. Ihre Musik hört sich auch nach so langer Zeit immer noch zeitlos wundervoll an und als die neuen Songs rauskamen, war das genau das was ich mir von Abba gewünscht habe. Songs, die auch in 50 Jahren noch gehört werden. I love Abba
I cried. I couldn't stop. It is majestic and very nordic. It has dignity. It is like a view back to your own life. A life I shared with their music.
Well said!👌

They say ABBA is nominated for a Grammy... Funny... ABBA has gone beyond any nominations, they are over time and in our hearts, they are a miracle

My dad died this year, he was a huge fan of Abba and he was waiting for this song with a smile on. Now it's been five months since he lost the battle against COVID-19, but I know he is singing this song in heaven.
My heart goes out to you.

That is so true ... they were a certain kind of beautiful we've never seen since.
When my friend told me yesterday they were "coming back", it was every single "One of Us is Crying" heard over 100 times - only, with joy (that has got to be one of the greatest tracks of all time 🥳)
... SO excited!
True words.
Und jetzt sind sie unsterblich
I think that, after these 39 years, Benny, Björn, Agnetha and Frida have finally understood that they are an immense part of the history of music. I want to believe that, by accepting that responsibility and acting with their well known humility, they know deep down that they owe humanity one more gift. It is not a matter of money. I'm 56. Since 1974 I have experienced the release of all their singles and albums with great excitement, and I could never imagine ABBA releasing another after 'The Visitors', which marked the end of an era. Having listened to two new songs, it wouldn't be fair to have an opinion of the new album, though it already sounds wonderful. It may not be an ABBA reunion the way people wish, but the only idea of enjoying a new album is a blessing. I don't think there is a single week in my life that I have not listened to their music, which has proven to be timeless and beyond all trends. Thanks once again for the music, ABBA!
Very true!
@@diananew2 Thank you Diana 🙏
Absolutely 💯
They owe humanity nothing.
I completely agree with you
This song is a perfect re-introduction of ABBA to the world. It sounds new and old all at once and epitomizes what has always made them brilliant. The moment I heard Frida hit that lower register it brought tears to my eyes! You can hear the life and experience in her voice and it adds another layer to their sound that just wouldn't have been possible in the 1970s or 1980s. I'm so excited to hear the rest of the album!

C'mon folks, let's make this the biggest selling album of all time
I've preordered my CD as soon sales opened. 😃😃😃
Why? Firstly, aren't they rich enough? Secondly, massive album sales certainly don't indicate if the music is any good. Isn't that the main factor? We already know they are popular.

@@peteryoung4016 Don’t be a pill. I’m in a community with exploding COVID-19 Delta cases all around us. I’m vaccinated. But we still have so much death and despair. I’m a retired RN. My FRIENDS are taking their lives into their hands ever single damn day. EVERY. SINGLE. DAMN. DAY. They come home spent and oh so depressed and discouraged. If a group like ABBA can come back and infuse some hope and joy amidst death and sorrow-please don’t ruin it for others. This has been the hardest period of time i can remember, and I’m (nearly) 62. Please don’t judge. Allow us to excited about good news for a change!!
@@drieuxkoeppel8152 Drieux, I actually fully agree with you in the context of what you said regarding covid! Absolutely if Abba's comeback infuses hope and joy to people at this time, that really is great. It has been a terrible time for many I personally know too, and anything that makes people happier is of course welcome. In the context of that, the debate whether the music is 'great' or not becomes very irrelevant. A parallel possibly is popular music of WW2 where some of it wasn't always 'great' music but it gave pleasure to many people, and that in itself is admirable. I certainly don't want to judge in the context of what you said and wish you all the best.
Just think, that beautiful, low, loving voice is coming from a 75 year old woman who has been an incredible performer for more than 60 years, and still is loved by the world! Love Frida!
ABBA, you have done something that no one has been able to accomplish in the past 2 years, you've managed to take people's minds off COVID 19 and put a huge smile on the worlds face again and it's so good to see the world smile again. Thank you.

I'm happy they sound like they made you think of something other than COVID but I'm sure you're speaking for a very limited amount of people there, this didn't even take my mind off what was for tea that night, in fact it sounds awful but I'm happy they have the ability to make others like yourself happy which is all that counts
@@sezza8516 Delusional much? You're the one "speaking for a limited amount of people" lol
I love how vintage and mature this sounds. They could have tried to suck up to the trends in a desperate attempt to sound "contemporary" (whatever that means...), but instead they delivered something that continues their beautiful legacy. I see this as a sign of integrity, not to mention a deep respect to their loyal fans. I still would have prefered to see them in their current selves, instead of younger versions of the band members, but I understand that this serves as a way to promote their avatar concerts. The interview clips where you see the four of them recording these songs and/or discussing them are extremely moving.
th-cam.com/video/eYKWpXdiAUw/w-d-xo.html.... .
I disagree. They did sound very fresh and modern then. But this really sounds tired, dated and actually mediocre. It is a shame. I had hoped they could have made themselves sound still relevant instead of just a inferior carbon copy of 1977.
@@nathanharris-composer7362 they are all in their 70s. Trying to sound like their younger selves would have been ridiculous. This is mature, reflective and appropriate. It's just what their fans need, and a wonderful way to celebrate their legacy.
@@mrsalmostpersuaded With respect I disagree. I am a fan too and this just sounds dull and uninspired. I had really hoped for more inspired songs. I think their age is not relevant. But I respect your opinion.

My mum and I always sang & danced to their songs throughout my childhood, they are some of my most precious memories. I can’t wait to listen to this with my mum, we’ll both probably get really emotional. I remember saying on my 17th birthday while singing and dancing to Dancing Queen with my mum that I hoped ABBA would make a return and now it’s happening. I’m so happy, they’re still so magical after all this time. So grateful that my mum introduced me to them growing up so I never missed out on the true magic that is ABBA🥰♥️

My mom who was 80 years old passed away in December 27, 2023. She loved ABBA and She was lucky to be still alive when this album got released back in 2021 and got to listen to it. I'm just glad she managed to enjoy ABBA's Vogage album still alive and in great health.
She wasn't sick when she passed away. Just that night of December 27, 2023 she closed her eyes and that was all. Her time in this world was up and God called her to his presence.
Fly high mom, may you rest in peace, I'll love you forever. Please keep watching over us from heaven.
Sinto muito 😢
My sincere condolences to you, thank you for sharing this experience.
I am so glad for you and your mom to have the opportunity to share common interest/passion for ABBA.
Her time, as you said, was maybe up and God called her, but she lives on in your memories and is still with you in your heart.
May she rests in peace.

Bless you, and my Mum was a huge Abba fan as well, just like her girls, would have loved her to have heard the new songs, but she sadly passed a few years before, but that's wonderful your Mum was able to enjoy them. xxx
Thank you for your beautiful memory of your late mom,she got to hear her idols one last time .
To be honest, no matter, how old you are... you could be 10 years old or you could be 100 years old. Every human being knows who ABBA is and can name at least one song. ABBA are legends! I am 22 years old and I'm a huge ABBA fan. They inspired so many musicians with their music and now they're back and the world is a better place for now
I am 22 as well and I totally agree with you, ABBA is the group who saved this year and gave some Hope to a lot of people

Frida continues to stun us all with her faultless classical mezzo-soprano voice after so many years. I get severe goosebumps listening to this enchanting song.
One of Abba's secrets is that when Agneta or Frida were not in the foreground in a given song they did their best to make the "first" one even better. Their "competition" has always been about better sharing and helping rather than shining separately.

What can I say... I moved to Sweden because of ABBA, I lived there for ten years and learned Swedish. I am now a professional translator from Swedish to Spanish, so I owe them not only the happy times I have spent listening to their music, but also ten wonderful years in Sweden and now, back in Spain, my profession.
Such a wonderful present to all your fans! ABBA, thank you for your music!

God bless these 4 people, the happiness they have brought to this world is immeasurable - ABBA forever
Amen!
I was a kid in the 1970's and in the 1970's there was no way you weren't exposed to ABBA. I was always a rocker so I looked down my nose at ABBA. As I've grown older, and became a musician myself, I have developed an appreciation for what ABBA did. They were 4 talented musicians that created a unique sound. No one ever sounded like them before or since. Since so much of what is put out in the music industry is cookie cutter crap having a sound all your own is a huge accomplishment.
I thought the same about Abba in my teens... changed my mind about this Swedish legend, but I’m still a rocker! 😺
I susbscribe entirely to what you say. They’ll retain forever their own unique place in the musical landscape.
ABBA was an easy target for a mass of "serious rock critics" decades back.They were slagging them off and got rejected because"pap"music wasnt supposed to be serious stuff.But believe it or not it wasnt only the popmusic fans and closet rockers abba fans who disagreed.A lot of rock musicians acknowledged their geniuses and openly expressed their positive opinion about them back then. Such as Richie Blackmoore,Ian gillan,Bruce Springsteen, the guys from The Clash who also attended their 1979 Wembley gigs to name but a few.
@@christianoazzuro6711 Right on, so true! 👏🏻
I was the same as you then in the 70,s.i loved my soul music, funky stuff and disco. I kind of closed my mind to other types of music.the exception to my own rule was steely dan, doobie brothers and the eagles.i would see abba as been a pop band and I would not take much notice of them.how wrong was i.over the past 20 years I have gone back and listened to their music, and how beautiful and clever they are.i find myself actually crying at this track.wonderful......

After all these years and all the changes in music and many artists changing their music to keep up with the times and yet ABBA still manage to keep their sound intact and it still fits in with today's music. Any aspiring artist needs to look no further than ABBBA for inspiration, they are truly the original band of all time.

Crazy that Agnetha and Anni-Frid are in their 70's, yet barely lost a step vocally with these two new songs. And what's more mind blowing is that these songs have such a classic Abba "sound" to them.

Listen to a hundred times today!
ABBA has singlehandedly united the world, with just two songs. No one else could have done that.
They have not united the world,with just two songs. Please, back up your statement. I would like to hear why you believe your statement? Those two songs are uncharted, the album will not come out until November of this year and a virtual concert not until 2022! So how did they change the world 🌎?
@@mattr.1310 They made me feel united ,so youre wrong. Take a seat Mr Negative!
@@mattr.1310 oh come on don't be a sourpuss let's just enjoy the music and rejoice at the fact they are still going strong, thank you :)
@@markspell I'm with you all the way. Never expected that and untapping so many many memories it's uncanny
To all of you who commented my statement. Those two new songs don't come anywhere near the classic ABBA songs that I love! One song is just music and there is no ABBA members in it. I still have faith in you just shows a collage of ABBA. It was addressed to Aurora Hoya: who said they meaning ABBA single handedly united the world and no one else could have done that! What does that mean, Aurora, doesn't explain why the songs changed the world ,she just assumes they do? ABBA, when they broke up was not that popular in the United States. ABBA became more popular after their songs were featured in movies ,a greatest hits album in the 90s and a wonderful musical,then the movies called Momma Mia 1 & 2. Which between those 2 movies grossed over 1 billion dollars. These things I mentioned made them extremely popular. Their classic ABBA songs are still very popular for the reasons I just related to you. Aurora,gives a statement with no facts! Which you see often on TH-cam comments on all types of music. I don't think these songs are great, they are good but they will not change the world. There is a lot of promo going on for these songs, future album and virtual concert( s). ABBA, hired the best people in the business for the virtual concerts. Bjorn & Benny are great songwriters and have done work on music projects after the group disbanded. However, if you notice there are a lot of subscriber groups & people with TH-cam channels writing the reviews. That alone sends up red flags for me! Like I said, I like the songs but they are not great. When you compare them to the original ABBA songs, they don't stand a chance. These are promo videos, there are not real videos. They were put out there to test the waters. ABBA should rest on the succuss they have created from their catalogue of songs. ABBA ,is being very cautious in releasing only two songs and not the album. You have to wait until November for the album and then digital concerts or virtual concerts. I like Paul McCartney's style. He was with the Beatles first, then Wings and then a solo act. He has been playing for many decades and has not lost a beat. When my wife and I saw him at a live not virtual sold out concert at our local major league Baseball Park we were very happy. If you can't play live, your music won't be any good. ABBA to me does not like the fact, that others took hold of their music and made it so famous. Now they want a chance to do something worthwhile. This is all promotion, they won't be performing live and that means they can't do it. What has ABBA been doing for 40 years? Not playing music! I hope it works out for them. However, I think it is a public relations game. I heard Bela Fleck & his wife this morning on the radio. Bela is 63 and has been playing for decades. He was poignant when talking to the host and played live and the sound was excellent. I am not buying into this program that ABBA is trying to do! I am a guy who enjoys music especially on vinyl because it replicates the natural sound of music. I will not take the bait like a fish would before it takes a bite. What will ABBA do after the one album and digital/virtual concerts? It is not a reunion. Why are there no ABBA members singing in the videos? So , I will pass on the whole thing. I will look at it from the outside. I just don't understand why no one can see through this thing as not 100% real! I am not being negative, I am being realistic. ABBA has been planning this for years as one of the male members said. I recently saw another Scandinavian group do a live version of a famous hit from the 1985 called " Take on me" by A-ha. The lead singers name is Morten Harket. He did an acoustic live version of that song. His voice was strong and to me it was an improvement on the original.A-ha had been playing and making albums most of the time since their 1985 hit. I just don't buy or like what ABBA is doing. BTW, don't assume my political party affiliation. Please, stick to the music. Don't stray into another field, this happens often on TH-cam.
The first album I owned was Abba Arrival... a Christmas present -- with a mono cassette player! -- from Mum in 1976. We weren't well off, and she had 4 of us to buy for, so this was a big deal for her. But it was a huge disappointment for me, because I wanted Tubular Bells! Abba? ABBA? Not Led Zeppelin? Not Pink Floyd? Not Yes? Thanks Mum, it's... er, just what I wanted.
45 years later I still listen to Tubular Bells and the rest sometimes, but this new music has made me cry. Abba might not have been what I wanted back then, but their music has been a constant in my life -- our lives -- all this time, and now I get great pleasure from belting out some of their greatest hits on guitar. What used to be 'just pop music' have become timeless classics as relevant today as they were at the time... if I'd bothered to listen.
What can I say? I was young!
Neither I nor Abba are young any more, and you can hear that in the new work. But it's not old as in rusty Saab, it's old as in fine wine; old as in wisdom; old as in experienced. Old as in precious, because the older you get, the less time's left and the less chance there is you'll hear more from them.
I'll be buying the new album and playing it to my Mum. Mum may tap her foot, she may not; time will tell. Dementia has stolen almost all of her, so I can't thank her for that long lost Abba Arrival cassette. But I can keep trying to make her as happy as possible as she fades, so cruelly, away. I owe her that.
Abba owe us nothing, but this new music is a real, unexpected delight. May they continue to fade away gracefully... wonderfully... joyously. Thank you for the music!
Beautiful words. ABBA on cassette brings back memories. My parents bought "ABBA the Singles" on double vinyl, and my father recorded it to cassette for me and my sister to play on our Walkmans (actually a cheaper equivalent). One of my first purchases was "The Visitors" on cassette, still one of my all-time favorite albums. ABBA and Mike Oldfield have the same musical purity, if you will (note-perfect, melodic brilliance). Hence Mike did a cover version of "Arrival". Even though he made many albums in between, Oldfield's "Return to Ommadawn" brought me close to tears, because it was a return to the pristine beauty of the early albums such as "Ommadawn". Likewise, ABBA's new songs (new for us but actually recorded and originally announced in 2018) is also a return to the pristine beauty of, say, "Like an angel..." on The Visitors. The new songs sound familiar yet fresh at the same time. An absolutely brilliant comeback.
What a wonderful tribute to your mother. Keep talking to mum, she may seem like she is unaware of what is happening but I know she still hears and understands every word. Take care mate.
So sorry to hear about your mum. My mum has the same illness too but when she saw the new song on tv today she remembered how much she liked Abba. I remember listening to the Arrival album growing up as my Auntie had the album. Looking forward to the new album, best wishes.
Beautiful sentiments. ..
@@joannegeoghegan3006 Best of wishes to you and your mother too. It's a very tough disease to experience and witness, but that doesn't stop us savoring the good times... well, moments when they happen.
SOS has lyrics which are all too appropriate to our circumstances. I find singing it cathartic! :-)
40 years later and a band of 4 people still have the power to make generations of people fall to their knees with just the words of a song it’s amazing how people all over the world and people of all different ages all still know how amazing this band truly is
Thankyou for the music

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that doesn’t like ABBA. Listening to this feels like the return of a long lost friend.

That absolute truth, I grew up with them, their voices bring tears to my eyes, I remember how I danced "The winner takes it all" with my first love, and so on , and so on...All the best to the Legends!
I think we all need new memories that are at the A letter so let all of them have fun making new memories with music!
I’m 74 and have all their songs. Beautiful. 🇦🇺👍😁
I wonder how many grown ass people are literally in tears, happy to the point of literally shaking, that ABBA is back... They _are_ back... This is the ABBA I remember and _never stopped loving._ I have faith in you!

Yes me too.
@@Честнаяпопрошайка Какая мерзость ваша песня.
Undeniable. Unmistakeable. Pure ABBA from beginning to end. I wasn't sure how I would feel hearing new stuff. What would 40 Years Later ABBA music sound like. I never dreamed they would stick so closely to the original sound. This really is as if the last 40 years never happened and the next ABBA album dropped as it would have 4 decades ago.
Yes, it's amazing. Undeniably amazing.
this sounds so much like a continuation of where they left off. as if they never skipped a beat. amazing. bjorn and benny are song writing geniuses
I went to ABBA Voyage on October 3th, it was magic, I got so emotional, it brought me to tears, a piece or art!!!
I went to their very wet Sydney show with my dad in 1977, I was only 11. Today I cried as I listened to these new songs. I don't know why I cried, the emotion just welled up from inside. In this dark time there was something released, and the tears brought healing in a way that I cannot understand. Thank you!
I, like many Abba fans cried with joy and a feeling of eurphoria. Like everything is alright again. Don’t worry . We got Abba. Crazy eh, but that’s how it feels
David, I was at that concert too. Everyone was soaked to the bone but nobody was going home till they'd heard every song! Such a vivid and glorious memory! And today I wept as well. People we loved so much and thought we'd lost forever are back! And so are the fans. Yay!!!! What a great day!
@@marksharmanmusic1 Abbasolutely! It's all gonna be OK... coz Abba is BACK! So happy! Can't stop getting teary!
I had tears in my eyes too. They created the soundtrack of my youth. Witnessing that what they are most present to now is the love for each others touched me deeply and even seems to put my own life in perspective. Incredible really
You're not alone in shedding a tear, Dave. Brings back so many happy memories.
really didn’t expect a comeback LIKE THIS, i’m so in shock for the iconicity of it all
So historic!!
Same, it’s so classy and beautiful. Perfect timing, perfect songs, perfect people. I can see why they waited now 💕
Are these still the original members?

@@vortexsupernovapersonal7801 Yes!
You hear the age in their voices, yet it is still undeniably ABBA. Top tier production, clear winks to their past, a bit of ambiguity if they sing about their friendship or the fans...They will never lose their magic (touch).
You do hear the age, but it's absolutely none the worse for it either. I actually find it really touching and endearing. Such a wonderfully wistful, slightly vulnerable sounding opener after 40 long years.
I'm glad they aren't masking that.and they still sound so powerfull.
Even the Swedish accents are still there. Authentic ABBA :)
Hey, I'm not complaining either. The very fact that you hear the age is a compliment, proving they don't need trickery to sound 'perfect'. 40 years passed but they still sound like that? 🙌
“Slightly worn, but dignified”
This masterpiece is a dedication to all the brokenhearted and lonely people in this world
В небеса!!!! От земли!!! Браво!!!!
