They brought their signature abba sound and I love it. I also really like how they stayed with their sound and didn't try and sound like every other song out there right now
Had me in tears, this has transported me back to my late 70s early 80s childhood, many happy memories of ABBA . So much respect to them for coming back, well they never really left !
I wish I was alive during the 1970s and 1980s to witness their music live. I love that they are back so new generations can feel the same way and experience new abba music
@@davidpastuck7245 seeing them live as a kid is one memory I'll treasure, who would have thought after still playing their vinyl after this time ill have a new one to add to the collection 😍
I actually wept whilst listening to this, its stunningly beautiful and my mum would have loved listening to this song had she been around to hear it as she loved ABBA. RIP mum.
I was born 2002 and yet i still grew up with Abba music since i'm a Swede. This is my first time experiencing an Abba comeback and it's unreal. The hype they had built up around the world makes me proud to be a Swede. Abba is amazing. They're the pride and joy of Sweden.
I actually learnt Swedish because of Abba, it would be a proud moment to be a Swede right now, Abba are legends. I'm so happy new generations are abba to hear new music from Abba.
So you should be. The greatest act in popular music history. I saw them live in Dublin on November 15th 1979. We sang happy birthday to Anni-frid. They were and are glorious and incomparable.
That's amazing to hear! I really wish here in Canada they did the same thing. Let me know how they chart in Germany, I would love to see them have a huge comeback throughout the world.
ABSOLUTE A NEW MASTERPIECE. PLAYING ON REPEAT, DANCING AROUND WITH A BIG SMILE ON MY FACE, WHILE CRYING HAPPY TEARS. IT'S GOING TO MASSIVE. NO ONE CAN SHUT ABBA DOWN, THEIR BACK, RESPECT🥳🥳🥳🥳
Yes Yes Yes! OMG.. That sound! There is nothing that can compare. I remember when I first heard 'A' back in 2013. Such as amazing album. Agnetha just has the most incredible voice. BUT this.. Agnetha and Frida together. Just amazing. Has bought a tear to my eye. I have been playing both songs all day. In this crazy world today this is just what I needed. Thank you ABBA.
The "3rd voice" by Agnetha and Frida is amazing and they still can do it together. "A" was such an incredible able, I hope some of the new songs sound similar and really push their vocal abilities.
I’ve been a fan since “Waterloo” and my heart broke in 1982 when they split. My friends have loved them faithfully since day one. Many of those friends have passed on since 1982. We all desperately wanted them to reunite (there was a rumor in the ‘90’s that maybe). I wish those friends were here to hear. This is very emotional.
Abba has brought so many people together with their music. So many generations have grown up with their music. I wish I was around during their active years, I was born when Agnethas "I stand Alone" album was released so I waited until 2004 when her "my coloring book" was released. I didn't have to wait as long as others but I love how their music goes on and on and new generations get to hear it. Never thought they would come back together
This is joy and happiness pure! 🙂 So glad they are back. Never understood that they had once quit and never really got over it. I'm also happy that you are so enthusiastic about them. 🙂
Imagine having the talent to return, after 40 years of silence, with a song as catching, moving and brilliant as this. And then imagine being able to do all that, while including statements like: "and now you see another me, I've been reloaded...". Far out.
Their talent is still there and strong after so many years. Their vocals haven't changed and the lyrics are just amazing. I love that they are back and so strong with the new songs.
40 yaers ago i couldn't hold my tears during their divorces and now not at their comeback.😭 My opinion, best groep ever. 👌💕 The day before you came en the winner takes it all are etched in my memory.😍 This new song is beautiful.
I'm listening to "The Day Before You Came" right now. It has always been my all time favourite abba song. It's so haunting the vocals done by Frida in the chorus. Agnetha's talking vocals are sooo good as well and the story of the lyrics are one of their best.
Yes! This song is quintessential ABBA, using the same basic instruments but polished with modern technology. I like it more than 'I Still Have Faith In You' mainly because it's an upbeat song, and I love dance pop.
Yeah ... I agree aswell. The only minor critic I have is the keyboard bass, would rather hear an actual bass like "Two Of Us". Also I recognize the feel of the songs they recorded as the original follow-up to "The Visitors". Songs like "Just Like That" and "Under Attack".
@@mauricedorreboom5388 looks like keyboard bass will be on the new album entirely. That's my guessing and that can be the only minor complain. Apart from that, the songs and performances will be top class - I have no doubt about that now.
Digital recording and modern instruments may give it the extra edge of technical perfectness, which the original batch of ABBA songs did not have. Like CDs versus LPs.
@Eurovision GOLD. By Genlab. Well yes, in 1982 the CD player had been invented. And digital recording techniques. But to me, Arrival from 1976 (?) with the helicover is what defines ABBA the most. Dancing Queen, When I kissed the Teacher, Money money money. But I agree, the new tracks are very "The Day before you came"-alike.
i was and still am crying... this music is so amazing, everything i could wish for. a fan for years but finally able to experience new abba songs like my mum did.
Abba really never have gone away. The 1990s they were big again because of the gay community. The 2000s mamma Mia. 2010 mamma Mia 2 and cher and now new abba album. I'm so happy they are back
They built a 3,000 arena in London for the motion capture show. Good news the arena can be broken down and transported to another city. Las Vegas is in the tour. The girls voices still sound amazing even at 70 years of age.
was fortunate to see ABBA live in Melbourne Australia Sidney Myer Music Bowl March 1977 ABBA = ABBASOLUTELY SWEDETASTIC still ABBA crazy all these years later & great to have ABBA back
The truly unique ABBA sound comes on at 1:25. ABBA has always been remarkable in that way; their stamp of originality that marks them distinctly apart from other bands.
Absolutely agree. They have a way to show people their sound. They have a very distinct Abba sound. If you watch Eurovision or Melodifestivalin (Sweden's national contest for Eurovision) you can hear many songs with the abba feel. It's kind of crazy since their last release was 40 years ago but everyone knows that signature abba sound.
@@davidpastuck7245 listen to their undeleted medley that they released last year if you haven't! A heap of excerpts of other unfinished songs too plus studio messing around like singing summer night city as badly as possible. It has a few sounds like this other than just like that.
Agnetha was always my favourite member of the group, her vocals are so angelic and pure. I was so happy we got to hear two songs with both of the girls singing the lead of their own single. The singles are simply amazing.
I am so happy about your response..I am now 60 years old and ABBA has given me a lot of pleasure in my youth...nice to see that the generation of today can enjoy it so much..thank you for this Video .
Thank you for the comment :) I love how Abba pleases every generation. My grandma, mother, myself and my brothers kids all love abba. They are timeless.
I have played it 100 times today,,,and it gets better..and better,..and BETTER!! We are so blessed to have their comeback!! This is like a kiss from God...
It is nice that they still have this ABBA sound, i mean you hear this song and it could easily be published directly after their last album if you don't know it is new you could think it is one of their old songs. I mean you hear that the voices are a little bit older but it is 100% ABBA. This is the thing i often times hate if musician from that time make new songs that they are extremly different and not really the style that you want, but this is great.
Exactly, some people have made fun of me for saying the songs have that "abba" sound, but abba really do have a signature sound. You automatically can tell it's abba no mater what decade. They do such a great song sticking to their trademark.
Comment after comment, ''I cried'', ''I wept'', ''I was so emotional'' etc. These songs have arrived at just the right time, and yes, I shed the odd tear too. Voyage is a true gift.
ABBA is ABBA... old or new it´s always immediately recognizable as ABBA... so happy they are back, tears came into my eyes when I heard it the first time because they were my late mother´s favourite group and she passed to me her love for ABBA... if she was still alive she would love to hear their comeback and new music.
David, I am still in shock! When the beat dropped I got so excited cause' I love their up tempo songs. What a time to be alive! Edit: It kinda bringed me back to "If it Wasn't for the Nights".
I was so hoping one of their songs would be like the songs from voulez- vous. They did not disappoint. I agree the song does have the feel of "if it wasn't for the night"
All 8 of their albums are amazing. The first two are fun listens, with some great songs, but it's really their last 5 or 6 that show what masters and geniuses they are and became. Just great song after great song. Ring Ring is the first album, then Waterloo the second. Then ABBA, Arrival, The Album, Voulez Vous, Super Trouper, The Visitors. They also released "I am the City" as a song after they disbanded, along with You owe me one (which they said was more of a jingle and unfinished). Last year they released a 23 minute video called Undeleted Medley which contained many excerpts from unfinished songs strung together in the studio, along with them being mischievous and joking about, including singing Summer Night City (usually a great song) as terribly as they could. it's also worth a listen to - full of good sounds and music, even if unfinished.
I agree, their first two albums are okay. "People Need Love" single was pretty good, they showed off their early vocals and lyric writing. I've always loved their dance songs but my very favourite are "When all is said and done" and "The day before you came" which are their later singles. Both are amazing and the lyrics from Bjorn and Benny get better and better throughout the years.
@@davidpastuck7245 For me fun is different from okay, but without being great. There was a lot of interesting diversity in their too even if not all songs had depth. Songs like watch out, or my mama said are so very different, but engaging to listen to. Others like he is your brother is a groove even if simple. Something I like about the evolution of ABBA: He is your brother live in Australia is a fantastic one to watch live - so they managed to turn some simple yet fun grooves into great live performances still as well which is interesting. Then there are the really quirky ones, that sound fun, have less depth of lyrics, or are a bit too silly for many tastes. But you're still tapping along. Different from okay -> fun. But I also think it's fair to call the albums as a whole okay. Just my thoughts, and defs some great songs in there still too.
What is really amazing to me is that the vocals are so much like the ABBA-back then. Instruments and sound can easilier be emulated. In a few decades time, who knows, we might be able to make new hits from even long-dead artists ?!?
The big global news of this 21st century for the music world is the return of the legendary Swedish pop group ABBA to the recording studios after more than 35 years (the last was "The day before you came") and the edition of his new songs after 39 years (the last was "Under attack") and a new album after almost 40 years (the last was "The Visitors") Beyond that these three data are for the Guines Book of records (I believe that No Group or Singer or Artist can come close to these incredible brands), the most remarkable thing is How they returned, with what level of quality And I must say that ABBA overcame all fears, doubts and expectations Their return is shocking and his quality is still valid "Don't shut me down" it's another surprise from ABBA A pop song was expected, but there were reservations and fears for what it could be (and here I include doubts to the voices of the girls due to their age) And we find a magnificent work The beginning is with Agnetha's voice attacking with the pleasant company of the piano. What Agnetha does in that introduction is anthology, exquisite modulating and using different nuances with her mature voice. Until Benny's signature piano glint (nod to the mega hit "Dancing Queen") and ABBA's typical pop song is with us, with the fans, because the lyrics speak to us. and Agnetha assumes that decoding of almost four decades and gives us her beautiful voice as the strings grow and lead to a memorable chorus with Frida reliving the historic third voice of ABBA But it doesn't end there, the second part adds hooks and a xylophone is added to the bells (a nod to the marimba in "Mamma Mía"), and the pre-chorus has more force with Agnetha and Frida and the violins anticipate the elevation to a chorus triumphant final anthology reminiscent of his greatest hits And it ends with a soft and sweet Agnetha voice and piano melody (nod to "Thank you for the music") Thank for your great reaction and for Your respect to ABBA music now wey waiting for the new album and see in next ABBA vídeo GOD bless You
I saw them in concert in 1979 in their only North American tour in Omaha Nebraska...I know ABBA like no other ... this brought back so much memories to me like meeting up with an old friend again! Thank you for the music once again ABBA!
@@davidpastuck7245 our last summer is my favorite song because the video talks about Paris and reminds me of my honeymoon with my husband in Paris. Walks along the seine ...laughing in the rain ...the Paris lights ...great song. And you? Oh also One of Us is second fave...
My birthday was September 2nd, the day these songs became public. Thank you ABBA for such a fantastic birthday gift! I have been a fan since, dare I say it, 1976! This song is pure ABBA magic!
Oh yeah it's already a Hugh hit with ABBA fans I really love the beat so catchy I've been singing all day Decorating my hallway of all things that's in the song 😆
@@davidpastuck7245 same I find my self humming it when I'm cooking washing up think I'm sending my son crazy playing the same song Don't shut me down 😆 it just a great song and don't get me started on the beat I've heard it so many time I know when the beats coming 😂
This song is so amazing. It's easily as good as their best work from the 70s and it sounds like it. Like any ABBA song there is quite a bit of hidden complexity. Did you notice that the 2nd verse is a whole note higher than the 1st verse. And the same is true for the choruses? It's so subtle and effortless. I am stunned.
Have always been a Beatles fan (old enough to witnessed their beginnings). After they split I always hoped for a re-union. After Lennon's death that dream of course was over. Then I hoped for a re-union of the "Beatles of the 70s" ABBA. But all the years they always said no, thanks. They even declined that insane offer of 1 billion dollars for a world tour a few years ago. Never thought I would witness their come back. And happy they maintained their unique sound. Not bad at all for four 70+ Swedes :-)
Since 1976 I have believed Dancing Queen is the best pop song ever written. Now I think that position may be taken by Don't Shut Me Down. You can hear all the ABBA trade marks in there. Dancing Queen piano glissando, the plodding almost reggae beat of The Day Before You Came, Benny's hard piano chords, when she sings "I have to say I'm glad" there is a riff from "If it wasn't for the nights". Every time I listen to it I hear another nod to their previous work. It was almost worth the 40 year wait. Can't wait to see them in May.
ABBA fans will love it. I love it. The rest will go, "Meh"...but it doesn't matter. It's ABBA and we love them. So it's great. I'm just feeling grateful that finally ONE band that hasn't worked together in forever decided to step up and do something. And the fact that it's ABBA,,,well,,,,that makes it the best really. Now,,,,someone talk to the Gallagher brothers.
I've seen tons of positive responses and not too many negative. I think the song will chart well since it's the talk around the world. The two singles are great so I hope they do good.
of the 3 singles so far released this is my favorite. its a classic masterpiece that only ABBA can create.when i forst heard the first 2 songs i cried like a baby as if i had not seen a friend or relative in 40 yrs. it was that emotional for me. there are great remixes posted by dj STORM so check them out.. nice that you know about agnetha's solo albums. it was curious when benny had asked the girls to reunite if they could still sing. had he not known they had released albums since they split up?? benny slays on the keys as usual and bjorn lyrics are unparalleled. they truly are the best pop band ever and no one comes close to them.
Agnetha is by far my favourite member, I have all her albums and records and even an autograph. I still remember when I got her "my coloring book" cd. I was so happy when it came out because her previous album came out the year I was born (I Stand Alone) I still remember thinking I would never hear any new material from any of the members and then Agnetha brought out 2 amazing albums and now all 4 of them brought out this incredible album. I was so happy when they came back with the two new singles, they were my favourite band growing up even though it was decades after they split.
As fans we have been waiting so long and didn't think we would ever see them back together again. I love the new singles and am so excited to hear their new album as well.
Welcome back ABBA...The two ladies still pitch perfect...it is Magic when the two ladies voices blend ..glad that you are finally back...💙💛💖🤩🤩🤩☺️☺️☺️🤗🤗🤗🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎈🎈🎈
When the new charts come out in a few days, this song will be Nº 7 in the U.K. The last time ABBA was in the U.K. Top 10, was in December 1981, with "One Of Us", which reached Nº 3. "I Still Have Faith In You" will be placed at Nº 6.
i know very little about music but i really like this song.. if i rmb there is minor and major chord and each type of chord stands for sad tune(minor?) vs a happy tune(major?).. i think the front part of the song is like very happy tune to it very light and positive and orange color, then it transition to chorus where there is some transition through minor..? which is abit sad tune.. and blueish in color So it has abit of bittersweet vibe to this song. Love it.
Abba have always had a way to bring out a happy sounding song with sad lyrics. Agnetha can really sing with emotion which she does a great job with this song.
The harmony when the girls sing together is as sparkling as ever
Isn't it though? They sound so good together. Their 3rd voice is iconic.
@Harry Callahan 😁 I like when Frida and Agnetha's voices join in harmony in the second half of "Put On Your White Sombrero" 🎤♫♫♫♫♪♪♪♥
I can’t stop crying every time it kicks into that first chorus and I hear the ABBA sound. It’s insanely amazing!!
They brought their signature abba sound and I love it. I also really like how they stayed with their sound and didn't try and sound like every other song out there right now
The Power of Music - the Love for ABBA,
I was surprised to be so touched when I heard the new Songs. It is wonderful that there will be a new Album.
ABBA all over the World
Jennifer from Germany i
Yes I can totally relate to be this!
@@davidpastuck7245 you are right!
It's been a joyful day in a dark world. Thank you Abba!
I'm so glad they came back when the world needs their happy music. They bring such positive vibes in their songs.
They couldn't have come back at a better time, with everything we've been through across the planet. I love these four.
Exactly my thoughts, they brought out something good in such dark times. We needed this.

I had the same reaction in 1982. Depression, Frustration...
I can't wait to say on the dancefloor: "Hey, Abba is playing now.... let's dance"
I would love to hear their new songs at the disco. I hope more of the new album has a 1970s/1980s dance feel
This is joy and happiness pure! 🙂 So glad they are back. Never understood that they had once quit and never really got over it. I'm also happy that you are so enthusiastic about them. 🙂
I'm so happy they are back as well. Abba brings out pure joy in their music. Thanks for the comment. 😊
Hi from México ! Im getting ready for everything that Is coming !

They built a 3,000 arena in London for the motion capture show. Good news the arena can be broken down and transported to another city. Las Vegas is in the tour. The girls voices still sound amazing even at 70 years of age.
It would be amazing to see them in Las Vegas, it's closer to me (Canada) I would love to see the show. Thanks for the comment
A Gold standard has returned to the throne of Pop
The new songs are so amazing, pure pop and they went back to what they are known for. Their Abba sound.
Magic , Magic Absolute Yes Yes Yes Yes
The singles are pure magic.
This definitely has an 80s ABBA vibe to it - I really like it!
They picked up where they left off and brought back the Abba sound, these singles are so magical.
I saw ABBA live back in the day... still make me feel happy
Lucky you, which year did you see them live? 1977 or 1979? I would have loved to be born in those days to feel the hype.

Yes, very much "just like that" I was thinking it sounded like a few abba songs but I couldn't pin point exactly which ones.
@@davidpastuck7245 Glad I could be of assistance, lol, Such an amazing song. ABBA have belted it out of the park

There are allusions both lyrically and musically to many of their past songs. I love it.
This is an interesting companion to “The Winner Takes it All.”
Oh I agree, I kept trying to pin point which songs they sound like but there were many more than just one.
That intro by Agnetha is pure gold - so pure and soulful - and then the refrain - Abba in every way!
Agnetha was always my favourite member of the group, her vocals are so angelic and pure. I was so happy we got to hear two songs with both of the girls singing the lead of their own single. The singles are simply amazing.
Is not Agnetha,is Frida
@@sebastianmontesbesada5175 If in doubt - please check Wikipedia!!!
Beautiful harmonious tones...just magic voices.
We miss you ABBA....love you!!🥰💖💕💕
They sound amazing together, they still have the spark that never left them all those years ago.
@@davidpastuck7245 Absolutely, its breathtaking nothing like the music of today!!🤭
Genius composers..angelic voices
They are simply the best. So happy they are back making music.
I am so happy about your response..I am now 60 years old and ABBA has given me a lot of pleasure in my youth...nice to see that the generation of today can enjoy it so much..thank you for this Video .
Thank you for the comment :) I love how Abba pleases every generation. My grandma, mother, myself and my brothers kids all love abba. They are timeless.
It’s amazing. It is exactly what ABBA represents. It makes me happy. It I could make it in the charts and should.
It looks like it's doing pretty good in the charts world wide. So happy they are back
I have played it 100 times today,,,and it gets better..and better,..and BETTER!! We are so blessed to have their comeback!! This is like a kiss from God...
It's such a great song I love it, and love how many others do as well.
It is nice that they still have this ABBA sound, i mean you hear this song and it could easily be published directly after their last album if you don't know it is new you could think it is one of their old songs. I mean you hear that the voices are a little bit older but it is 100% ABBA. This is the thing i often times hate if musician from that time make new songs that they are extremly different and not really the style that you want, but this is great.
Exactly, some people have made fun of me for saying the songs have that "abba" sound, but abba really do have a signature sound. You automatically can tell it's abba no mater what decade. They do such a great song sticking to their trademark.
Comment after comment, ''I cried'', ''I wept'', ''I was so emotional'' etc. These songs have arrived at just the right time, and yes, I shed the odd tear too. Voyage is a true gift.
Beautuful song after 40 years!!
Already one of my favourites by them, love the new songs.
I cry like a baby!!!! Adela from Romania loves you!!! Thanks a lot for this amazing surprise!!!❤️❤️❤️
The new songs are so good, I am so happy they are back. I love seeing so many people around the world loving the new Abba music.
@@davidpastuck7245 ❤️
The magic is still there...
Absolutely, they sound amazing
Absolute abba magic again
They did such a great job and kept their signature Abba sound.
ABBA is ABBA... old or new it´s always immediately recognizable as ABBA... so happy they are back, tears came into my eyes when I heard it the first time because they were my late mother´s favourite group and she passed to me her love for ABBA... if she was still alive she would love to hear their comeback and new music.
They never lost that abba sound which I love and many others do too. They did such a great job with these new singles.
Beautiful. Magnificent. Upbeat. So happy!
It's such a good song. I love it.
David, I am still in shock! When the beat dropped I got so excited cause' I love their up tempo songs. What a time to be alive!
Edit: It kinda bringed me back to "If it Wasn't for the Nights".
I was so hoping one of their songs would be like the songs from voulez- vous. They did not disappoint. I agree the song does have the feel of "if it wasn't for the night"
Definitely, this song feels like it pays homage to the Voulez-Vous album. The sax part reminiscent of the sax on Voulez-Vous for example.
@@marvelboy74 voulez-vous was always my favorite abba album. Their dance songs were always gold to me.
Preordered it after hearing this song for the first time. Time to track down all of their earlier material as well.
All 8 of their albums are amazing. The first two are fun listens, with some great songs, but it's really their last 5 or 6 that show what masters and geniuses they are and became. Just great song after great song. Ring Ring is the first album, then Waterloo the second. Then ABBA, Arrival, The Album, Voulez Vous, Super Trouper, The Visitors. They also released "I am the City" as a song after they disbanded, along with You owe me one (which they said was more of a jingle and unfinished).
Last year they released a 23 minute video called Undeleted Medley which contained many excerpts from unfinished songs strung together in the studio, along with them being mischievous and joking about, including singing Summer Night City (usually a great song) as terribly as they could. it's also worth a listen to - full of good sounds and music, even if unfinished.
My favourite album is Voulez-vous by them, they do have so many great songs and records.
I agree, their first two albums are okay. "People Need Love" single was pretty good, they showed off their early vocals and lyric writing. I've always loved their dance songs but my very favourite are "When all is said and done" and "The day before you came" which are their later singles. Both are amazing and the lyrics from Bjorn and Benny get better and better throughout the years.
@@davidpastuck7245 For me fun is different from okay, but without being great. There was a lot of interesting diversity in their too even if not all songs had depth. Songs like watch out, or my mama said are so very different, but engaging to listen to. Others like he is your brother is a groove even if simple. Something I like about the evolution of ABBA: He is your brother live in Australia is a fantastic one to watch live - so they managed to turn some simple yet fun grooves into great live performances still as well which is interesting.
Then there are the really quirky ones, that sound fun, have less depth of lyrics, or are a bit too silly for many tastes. But you're still tapping along. Different from okay -> fun.
But I also think it's fair to call the albums as a whole okay. Just my thoughts, and defs some great songs in there still too.
What is really amazing to me is that the vocals are so much like the ABBA-back then. Instruments and sound can easilier be emulated. In a few decades time, who knows, we might be able to make new hits from even long-dead artists ?!?
I could see that happening, maybe we will see a new Abba single in 2050.
@@davidpastuck7245 Let's hope it won't take that long before new ABBA material sees the light of day.
Fantastic news, they're back!
And they sound amazing, almost as if they never stopped.
Booking tickets next week!
The big global news of this 21st century for the music world is the return of the legendary Swedish pop group ABBA to the recording studios after more than 35 years (the last was "The day before you came") and the edition of his new songs after 39 years (the last was "Under attack") and a new album after almost 40 years (the last was "The Visitors")
Beyond that these three data are for the Guines Book of records (I believe that No Group or Singer or Artist can come close to these incredible brands), the most remarkable thing is How they returned, with what level of quality And I must say that ABBA overcame all fears, doubts and expectations Their return is shocking and his quality is still valid
"Don't shut me down"
it's another surprise from ABBA
A pop song was expected, but there were reservations and fears for what it could be (and here I include doubts to the voices of the girls due to their age) And we find a magnificent work
The beginning is with Agnetha's voice attacking with the pleasant company of the piano. What Agnetha does in that introduction is anthology, exquisite modulating and using different nuances with her mature voice.
Until Benny's signature piano glint (nod to the mega hit "Dancing Queen") and ABBA's typical pop song is with us, with the fans, because the lyrics speak to us.
and Agnetha assumes that decoding of almost four decades and gives us her beautiful voice as the strings grow and lead to a memorable chorus with Frida reliving the historic third voice of ABBA
But it doesn't end there, the second part adds hooks and a xylophone is added to the bells (a nod to the marimba in "Mamma Mía"), and the pre-chorus has more force with Agnetha and Frida and the violins anticipate the elevation to a chorus triumphant final anthology reminiscent of his greatest hits
And it ends with a soft and sweet Agnetha voice and piano melody (nod to "Thank you for the music")
Thank for your great reaction
and for Your respect to ABBA music
now wey waiting for the new album
and see in next ABBA vídeo
GOD bless You
Great ABBA sound !!!!!!we miss you so much 🙏🙏🙏,those voices ,that piano ,i am tears ,WELCOME BACK!!!!THANK YOU ABBA !!!WE NEED YOU SO MUCH
Their voices, lyrics and talent are all still there. It's almost as if they never left, they did such a great job.
I saw them in concert in 1979 in their only North American tour in Omaha Nebraska...I know ABBA like no other ... this brought back so much memories to me like meeting up with an old friend again! Thank you for the music once again ABBA!
You are so lucky to have been able to see them live back in 1979. What is your favourite Abba song?
@@davidpastuck7245 our last summer is my favorite song because the video talks about Paris and reminds me of my honeymoon with my husband in Paris. Walks along the seine ...laughing in the rain ...the Paris lights ...great song. And you? Oh also One of Us is second fave...
ABBA MAGIC ❤️
Pure Abba magic, you can hear the Abba sound throughout the entire song, love it.
I'm so moved by this return, I'm so glad and happy for be alive right now
Same here, I didn't think we would ever see them back together, I'm so happy they are.
It'll go to number one EVERYWHERE!!!
I would love to see that. It would make them want to do more music in the future.
My birthday was September 2nd, the day these songs became public. Thank you ABBA for such a fantastic birthday gift! I have been a fan since, dare I say it, 1976! This song is pure ABBA magic!
Oh yeah it's already a Hugh hit with ABBA fans I really love the beat so catchy I've been singing all day Decorating my hallway of all things that's in the song 😆
The song has been stuck in my head for the last two days. Love it.
@@davidpastuck7245 same I find my self humming it when I'm cooking washing up think I'm sending my son crazy playing the same song Don't shut me down 😆 it just a great song and don't get me started on the beat I've heard it so many time I know when the beats coming 😂
Impecables las voces de Agnetha y Frida, como en los mejores tiempos SUBLIMEEE!! despues de 40 años esto es realmente emocionante!
Suenan un poco maduras sus voces, pero no dejan de ser dos de las cantantes más talentosas y hermosas qué han existido en la música. 💖
Si se siente como ayer
This song is so amazing. It's easily as good as their best work from the 70s and it sounds like it.
Like any ABBA song there is quite a bit of hidden complexity. Did you notice that the 2nd verse is a whole note higher than the 1st verse. And the same is true for the choruses? It's so subtle and effortless. I am stunned.
They are unique, outstanding and brilliant. This comeback is epic ! Love them.
It's the comeback nobody expected. They outdid themselves, great comeback.
Already a classic
Absolutely. I can't wait to hear the rest of the new songs.
Have always been a Beatles fan (old enough to witnessed their beginnings). After they split I always hoped for a re-union. After Lennon's death that dream of course was over. Then I hoped for a re-union of the "Beatles of the 70s" ABBA. But all the years they always said no, thanks. They even declined that insane offer of 1 billion dollars for a world tour a few years ago. Never thought I would witness their come back. And happy they maintained their unique sound. Not bad at all for four 70+ Swedes :-)
Soldier!! That was the one I was trying to remember- thanks a lot =) so happy and grateful for this song...
Thanks for watching my reaction! :) this song is soooo good, I've had it on repeat all morning.
Amasing ABBA is back
So happy they are back.
Since 1976 I have believed Dancing Queen is the best pop song ever written. Now I think that position may be taken by Don't Shut Me Down. You can hear all the ABBA trade marks in there. Dancing Queen piano glissando, the plodding almost reggae beat of The Day Before You Came, Benny's hard piano chords, when she sings "I have to say I'm glad" there is a riff from "If it wasn't for the nights". Every time I listen to it I hear another nod to their previous work. It was almost worth the 40 year wait. Can't wait to see them in May.
IT'S SO GOOOOOOOOD 🙏🙏🙏
I can't stop listening to it, sooo good.
ABBA fans will love it. I love it. The rest will go, "Meh"...but it doesn't matter. It's ABBA and we love them. So it's great. I'm just feeling grateful that finally ONE band that hasn't worked together in forever decided to step up and do something. And the fact that it's ABBA,,,well,,,,that makes it the best really. Now,,,,someone talk to the Gallagher brothers.
I've seen tons of positive responses and not too many negative. I think the song will chart well since it's the talk around the world. The two singles are great so I hope they do good.
So happy to see the love from all ages.
Same here, my grandma, mother, myself and my brothers kids all love abba music. This group captures every generation, not many acts can do that.
of the 3 singles so far released this is my favorite. its a classic masterpiece that only ABBA can create.when i forst heard the first 2 songs i cried like a baby as if i had not seen a friend or relative in 40 yrs. it was that emotional for me. there are great remixes posted by dj STORM so check them out.. nice that you know about agnetha's solo albums. it was curious when benny had asked the girls to reunite if they could still sing. had he not known they had released albums since they split up?? benny slays on the keys as usual and bjorn lyrics are unparalleled. they truly are the best pop band ever and no one comes close to them.
Agnetha is by far my favourite member, I have all her albums and records and even an autograph. I still remember when I got her "my coloring book" cd. I was so happy when it came out because her previous album came out the year I was born (I Stand Alone) I still remember thinking I would never hear any new material from any of the members and then Agnetha brought out 2 amazing albums and now all 4 of them brought out this incredible album. I was so happy when they came back with the two new singles, they were my favourite band growing up even though it was decades after they split.
I'm chocking hearing the choruses - the trademark AꓭBA sound...
They did such a great job getting the trademark abba sound and put them on the new singles.
Oh man i keep on crying eveytime i play these new songs, what is happening? So happy, straight into my heart. Pfffffff.
As fans we have been waiting so long and didn't think we would ever see them back together again. I love the new singles and am so excited to hear their new album as well.
The lyrics are soooo good!!! 😭❤
They have always had the great ability to tell stories in their songs. They do it so well.
Forever ABBA. From Brazil
I love seeing people from around the world loving the new abba tracks.
Welcome back ABBA...The two ladies still pitch perfect...it is Magic when the two ladies voices blend ..glad that you are finally back...💙💛💖🤩🤩🤩☺️☺️☺️🤗🤗🤗🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎈🎈🎈
I'm so happy they are back as well, I can't wait to hear what else they have to bring us on their new album.
I'd say ABBA is coming back strong, and they've never lost their touch. It's too bad they didn't do this very thing years ago.
When the new charts come out in a few days, this song will be Nº 7 in the U.K.
The last time ABBA was in the U.K. Top 10, was in December 1981,
with "One Of Us", which reached Nº 3.
"I Still Have Faith In You" will be placed at Nº 6.
Shades of Day Before You Came and Chiqatita . Classic Abba 😊
Yes, Agnetha's vocals were a lot like "The Day Before You Came" such great classic Abba tunes.
Wow I completely agree with ALL you said. I so got the 'My colouring book' & 'A' sound, and then yes so much early 80's Abba 🤩
They picked up where they left off. It's great to see so many Abba fans I've talked to in the past and how happy everyone is with the new singles.
Switzerland is driving crazy! Thank you ABBA!!!
I really wish I was in Europe during this time. Here in Canada they haven't talked about it very much.
It is 100% ABBA! Yeah! For me the best ABBA song ever
Love the song been playing it on a loop
Same here, been listening to it non stop.
This song is incredible. Thanks for doing the reaction.
Thanks for watching my reaction videos, I had so much fun doing them
Glory allelujah, ABBA IS BACK !!!
I'm so happy they are back with new music and such great music too.
The song is so good when I shut my eyes I'm back in the 80s. Waited so many many years for this! Thank you. Abba is still the best
The two girls singing = goosebumps!!
Love your reaction
Thank you :)
I love your reaction!

This song makes me very happy and moves me to tears at the same time. I❤️🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Woohoo. Exactly what I’ve been thinking that it reminds me of soldier. It’s a perfect move on from the visitors album. Just brilliant. ❤️❤️
It's almost as if they never left and just carried on after the visitors album.
Number one worldwide,number two i still have faith in you,all Abba records are in the charts again
I'm so happy with these results. :)
ABBA = MUSIC!!!
Brilliant, meaningful lyrics, catchy tune, layered backing, pure magic! They’re BAAAACK, baby! ☝🏻
I'm so happy they are back. The lyrics are amazing :)
i know very little about music but i really like this song.. if i rmb there is minor and major chord and each type of chord stands for sad tune(minor?) vs a happy tune(major?).. i think the front part of the song is like very happy tune to it very light and positive and orange color, then it transition to chorus where there is some transition through minor..? which is abit sad tune.. and blueish in color So it has abit of bittersweet vibe to this song. Love it.
Abba have always had a way to bring out a happy sounding song with sad lyrics. Agnetha can really sing with emotion which she does a great job with this song.
I like that you say that about 'My colouring book'. I thought I was the only one. It's the accent. Fantastic.
Amazing song, WOW. This has 1982 vibes with a fresh 2021 coating. Please never split up again, we need you to carry on making magic together. 😍
