    this is one of their masterpieces. this song is one of those songs that while it lasts, when you are listening to it, you think "this song is perfect, this is the best song in the world, ever".
    sure, when it ends you can think "nah, it's good but it's not the best song ever", and then you play it again and you think "YES, IT IS THE BEST SONG EVER!".

  • @williamoverly1617

    The key to this song is "honesty," and, yes, Agnetha is,"very pretty," as most obvious Latinos such as Dereck comment about blondes, but MANY have commented in other sites that it was really Frida who was at the height of her beauty.

    • @boosuedon
      @boosuedon 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Frida is a natural beauty. She is class, grace and more of a reserved presence. Strangely though she is the one that is the most playful of the two. Agnetha is more of the sex kitten.

    • @rubicon-oh9km

    The secret of the voices of Agnetha and Frida was that they fit together, how rarely do two voices fit together. They always stood face to face during the recordings so that they could see when they were singing and when they started. Often times it sounds like it is a single voice. That's just awesome.

    Lasse Hallström, the director of the video was a genius already when he did the ABBA-videos. These videos were not as expensive as Music videos became later in the 80's, but the different tricks Lasse created back in the 70's still work very well.

  • @Isleofskye

    Good analysis, as usual, Dereck.
    You are an intelligent analyst but one word of advice is rather than pausing the video 7/8 times which does break the continuity of the song, then try to pause, say 3/4 times and combine your astute observations then.
    Good Luck :)

      Singles and EPs were dad's american tradjazz from the 1950s, often in green or red colored vinyl, or my mum's parents boring schlager music :D

    Other ABBA songs you would probably enjoy listening and talking about (if not already the case) : slipping through my fingers, one of us, our last summer, and of course the winner takes it all. With Chiquitita and knowing me, knowing you, they are probably those where emotional power emerges at its best.

    The music video for "Knowing Me, Knowing You" depicts the band against various colored backdrops singing while facing each other, turning away as a new line is sung. At the end of the video, the band's female members are seen walking away through thick snow. The video was directed by future Academy Award nominee Lasse Hallström and is a landmark in his career alongside most other videos of the band which were directed by him.[

    What was great about Abba was that they were older than their contemporaries, they all had children and divorces behind them which expressed itself in their music.

    It's some kind of maturity and sadness behind their songs.

    Good analysis. I was 14 years old when I bought 1976 the LP Arrival with Knowing Me Knowing You beeing the last on side A. Immediatelly I recogognized the sadness of the song that became the DNA of ABBA since the mid 70s. In the early 70s (Ring Ring, Waterloo, Honey Honey) the character of the songs was more optimistic, more rocking (So Long). Knowing Me Knowing You was the TURNING POINT to the long phase of top sadness songs like One of US, The Winner takes it all and (the climax of sadness...) The Day before you came. Probably parallel to the divorce of the two couples....

    • @tim_davidson6344

      I agree, this song foreshadows the break-up of Bjorn and Agnetha; and Benny and Anni-Frid. Another "sadness" song is "When All Is Said and Done" that was in their last studio album, "The Visitors". Another theme that I noted in their first album, "Ring Ring", is a folk music style found in several of their songs ("People Need Love", "He Is Your Brother") that parallels American "flower power" folk music popular from 1970-73.

    One of my faves! glad you noticed the pauses of the song and just appreciated the emotion that was also there, in the melody, very smart. Younger generations tend to overlook those details and layers in music for some reason, the music industry picked up on that and i think it's the reason the quality lowered quite a bit and mainstream music didn't just become simpler, but simplistic. I like that you pick up on things so fast and accurately, maybe pause a little bit less, not to please anyone in particular, i think it will allow you to pick up on even more details, then you can react and then give us your insight, i think it will make for an even better reaction because you do make great observations, and you're cute, so don't take it as a harsh criticism lol, keep up the good work ;)

    Hi Dereck, just want to take a moment and just talk a little about Lasse Hallstrom, who directed most of their videos. Lasse later went on to Hollywood doing movies like the Cider House rules, Chocolate, Gilbert Grape, Casanova etc.. he is responsible for the classic ABBA-look where you see the girls- one front on and the other in profile. The reason why they started making these videos was because they got so popular that they just didn't have the time to travel everywhere so they sent their "minimovies" instead. LAsse is well known to be a great diretor and you see it already here in his early work.
    I also want to take a moment to talk about the lyrics.. as a swede you almost take ABBA for granted.. but I had a new revelation when the guys work on the musical Kristina fran Duvemala (please react to th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=du+m%C3%A5ste+finnas). Bjorns way to handle a text and a story grows on me for every time I listen to their music.. people always talk about the music, which is great, but pay attention to the lyrics, masterpieces!

    Dude back then music was just way better then nowerdays. I just don't like most of the modern music. There are good songs and i like things like hardstyle but most of the time i hear music from the 70s or 80s and i just want that music return to this.

    if you did not know years ago maybe still even now heavy metal rock singers used to say they did not like abba but they secretly used to love them they were embarrised about likeing abba and used to play there music away from ther partners. and a lot of them singers have been inspired by the today led zepplin dissy rascal madonna etc

    at the time not too many people took much notice of their lyrics and the depth, only much later, especially after lyricists Björn and Agnetha's marriage broke we could read about all the difficulties even during that period, it seems much more personal and biographical in retrospective... same goes for One Man One Woman of the next album...
