Don't get me wrong. I love Steps and the way they covered the song. But when I heard this original version... I was blown away. The way she expresses every line. Thank you for singing this song with all of your heart Helen. And yes... ABBA will rule forever. :)
Hope you've found the studio version by now. Superior to this live recording. It's on TH-cam [th-cam.com/video/NkokZH00lfs/w-d-xo.html] but sounds so much better on Spotify or iTunes. Check it out!
Not ABBA.....Benny did find a singer who could stand alone voicing his music....Helen S has a robust voice, not needing a mic to fully express the song.....Bravo!!
Helens a really well known and well respected Theatre performer as well as an amazing singer in Swedan and amongst musical theatre fans, I think thats why it gives her the edge over the steps version, she acts through song as a singer and you feel she's really telling you a story just like the Agnetha and Frida were able to do so. I hope eventually ABBA will record this for the album that was supposed to be released last year. fingers crossed it will be. Its what all us fans want really dont we? :-)
Powerful and great!! It should be far longer as to help us feel the deepest emotions it contains. I hope one day Agnetha & Frida would perform this marvel together!!
No question it could quite easily have made it onto one of their classic albums. Singer is perfect for the song and as always Benny knew what he was looking for when he put his band together.
Even Tommy Körberg is playing the Guitar Thanks for posting Sean. I was there as well but just uploading a few of my soundboard recordings. They are live ones.
this is the only post-abba B&B composition that could have been easily an ABBA hit.... of course some songs from Chess as well, but they breathe a little air of ABBA anyway, written only months after the start of the ABBA "pause"..... and yes Helen is one kind of a singer.... it really shows that part of the ABBA success is a sincere and emotional way of singing the songs... like A&A could and did....
Yes! :D I absolutely love it! :) I really think it suits Faye's voice especially so well! I've always thought that ABBA and Steps go so well together though! :)
No actually. In all the interviews for their album and the single, they have clearly said that it was not written for them and talk about the origins of the track.
Benny Andersson is a fabulous melodists. Such gorgeous tunes
What a vocal, great singing👍❤

I agree, I love Helen's expressions!

Hopefully they will next year
The greatest song ABBA never got to sing 😢😢😢😢😢

Helen has a glorious voice!
First time I have seen/heard the singer but she does a damn good performance!
The rare time that you see Benny Andersson do more than just play the piano. He's actually singing!
A little bit of this song lives in the new ABBA songs ❤️
Yes it would of been excellent to hear what the girls of ABBA would of done with this but what a singer this woman is
Wow, I hate that I missed this video, it's incredible.
Benny -You the best!!!
Imagine Frida singing this…. She would have been perfection.
This is simply the best song since ABBA split. Also, nice to see the guy out of '2 point 4 children' on acoustic guitar.
I would love to see Frida and Agnetha doing this as one of the songs for a ablum
Frida would have nailed this; her rebuttle to Winner Takes It All.
There is no doubt about it but Benny Andersson is the greatest tune smith of all time .
BEAUTIFUL Song! :) BEAUTIFUL! :)
Als würde ABBA noch leben und live auftreten.
Wenn man die Frau nicht sieht, könnte man auch meinen Agnetha steht auf der Bühne.
Danke Benny
What a bloody singer
Agnetha's voice! Sweet song! Benny ❤
Even Tommy Körberg is playing the Guitar Thanks for posting Sean. I was there as well but just uploading a few of my soundboard recordings. They are live ones.
❤
Your right,heard it years ago.
EXCELLENT !
Lovely song. I would LOVE to hear Elaine Paige singing it .
Indeed! Well Said,"John"! :)
4:13 is pure gold 🤩
yep-- great close ups--- Helen is fantastic--did u film this in 16:9 -- and can u re-adjust? The picture is very good indeed
This song has Agnetha's name all over.. She should be singing it..
Helen is a better singer than Agnetha
Helen is great but cant touch Agnetha or Frida. Just my opinion.@lounolastname4477

Нет и еще раз нет,никто не может спеть так как Агнета!
steps have covered it
I like it bu........t Yes I agree with others I think Agnetha's plaintive voice would have served better on this song
Now covered by Steps
I think this song will actually suit their voices amazingly! :D
have uou hard Steps version ? it really does suit them :D
Yes! :D I absolutely love it! :) I really think it suits Faye's voice especially so well! I've always thought that ABBA and Steps go so well together though! :)

Soo sorry a no from me
