WELCOME TO THE “TROUBLE SECTION" A friendly place for subscribers to chat. Everyone’s welcome, just say hi 👋

@@ItsmeBarry Let's push this baby. I LOVED this reaction, B. It hit me hard, too. There will never be another Abba. One day you'll release all those Abba songs you reacted to. Loved them, too. (Crazy Barry) Hey, I happen to like that dude. Let the comments begin. Ladies, was just saying on the last section that last year I didn't see the world, finish my novel or kiss a sexy man, but that it is all good... We have this year to make all our dreams come true. Qui, Pat, Terri, Eveline, Anne, Ana... What is new? (Or old? Old is good) 😁

@@ItsmeBarry Hello anyone, I'm finally recovered from the holidays. It will be a busy year for me in 2023, but will find the time to get here.

@@ItsmeBarry Such a beautiful song! And Barry, your reaction left tears in my eyes.💕 Thank you B☘ for making this the new Trouble Section and for bringing my attention to this wonderful song again!!

@@StorytimeWithLana OK Lana, I did kiss a sexy man. and brought me 3 round cake pans. Don't know which was more important. You keep this up and I will have a whole kitchen set up.

“Grumpy guy" that’s priceless! I hope you’ll pop up on my other reactions.

Well said Gilbert, I'm 64 this year. Love all ABBA and their songs. What an honour to here them again after 40 years. 💗

Such a wonderful, heartfelt comment. Thank you so much. I hope you’ll subscribe and enjoy other great music with me.

@@ItsmeBarry Of course I subscribed!! You reacted with your heart. Loved it and will listen and watch your other clips!

Had the same emotions, had a crush on Frida in my teenager years, and now, 60plus still ABBA fan and tears in my eyes hearing the new songs.

Fabulous, I couldn't have said it better myself. It's great to hear them together after all this time. The song and words are very poignant. What a an honour in our lifetime! 🙏🫶🏻

thanks Barry. It's been an honour to receive a like fron such a dedicated fan.

Thank you for the lovely comments Miguel. I agree with you about ABBA & Agnetha. I hope you’ll subscribe and enjoy some of the other music on my channels. The friendliest of greetings from Ireland ☘️

I love the entire album and of course I became tears eyes on this album. I grew up on ABBA music and have always loved them and this new album is no disappointment at all. I listen to it everyday in my car and at home. ABBA forever 😍

Me too, well, tried my hardest not to but teary eyed the whole song through. I could've gone to see what was on live stream here in Stockholm at the Gröna Lund amusement park but I'm glad I didn't in a way, otherwise I might've ended up on camera crying or something. It took many listens before I could listen to the song without breaking down. But at the end of the song when Frida sings the title in her higher voice, that still gets to me. But all Abba songs more or less gets me emotional. I remember listening to the album Arrival in 1976 after I'd gotten it on my mono record player (the kind with the speaker in the top of the case and closed looked like an attaché case) at 11 years old. Teary eyed through all the songs. That's how much Abba meant and still means to me. It took several weeks before I had the nerve to listen to Voyage, maybe because I was afraid of being disappointed after so many years without new Abba songs. I took a few times listening to it until I got used to their sound today. Such a joy having new music after sooooo many years. A very good swan song. The only thing I miss is Michael B Tretows studio wizardry. It doesn't sound as crisp as their previous albums, but still, loving it!

I really like that. Thanks Michael

Yes absolutely, every word you wrote here 100% also cried like a baby, goosebumps, the lot. What an outstanding encore from ABBA, for their fans!

Hi Anne, they have so much amazing music, other than their greatest hits. I’m so happy that you will get to experience it for the first time. Thanks for the hug, sending one right back at ya.

@@ItsmeBarry Thank you Barry!

I’ll pop my question down here rather than in your new comment above. how are you keeping after your appointment?

@@ItsmeBarry Oh Barry, I had a message typed and ready to send, but did something stupid and lost it 😡. I did read your response to my comment. I don't know why I didn't like it when I read it. Don't even think about removing that video!!!!! It's such a beautiful song and I understand the emotions you felt when you listened to it for the first time. Thanks for all the hearts on my comments (and for encouraging me to continue commenting). I'm feeling a lot better, thanks for asking. The pulmonologist increased the dosage on one prescription and added another medication for my breathing treatments. This is the fourth doc I'm seeing at this practice. The first I had for several years and he was great. The second I saw 2 or 3 times. The third I saw once. They all left for assorted reasons. I'm not sure about this new guy, but he seems to know his stuff. Enough about me. How are you feeling? I see you've been busy, busy! I've been enjoying the Countdown to Christmas. I like the questions.... makes it interactive and I like reading the other responses. I've been meaning to ask, have there been any more claims or have they given up on that? Hoping it's the latter. The comment I lost was much funnier and more interesting, but this will have to do for now 🤣. I hope you are doing well. Thanks for keeping me company with your videos when I was so sick! Didn't know you did that, did you (that's a lot of dids 😁).

@@AnneMajdosz that’s very frustrating when that happens. I’ve had several masterpieces vanish and it’s always impossible to try recreate the magic. I don’t know why the tube likes to do that to us but it’s one of a few irritating things on here. I’m glad that you’ve got to see a new doctor and I’m very confident the new meds will help. I had to giggle when you listed all the doctors that have left, if that was me I’d be thinking they moved or retired because I’d driven them to distraction 😂 I’m sure that’s not the case with you but I had to share my unusual thoughts 🤪 Thanks for spotting my little artistic choice of adding Scott as a portrait in my thumbnail. I’m sure little things like that go unnoticed by most but it’s fun to play around with the thumbnails, it’s one of the things I can be creative with. Unfortunately, as we’ve discussed before, several of my thumbnails have been taken and used by other channels. The one I mentioned most recently to you still has my thumbnail as part of their thumbnail. My manager wanted to claim the video but insisted they didn’t. They have sent them several emails asking them to remove it the last one I let them word a little stronger by mentioning a possible claim (I’d never actually do that) but the emails have gone unanswered 🙄 As for the claim thing that tormented the first few months of 2023, thankfully they have stopped. I think the two new reactions I had last December may have triggered the system and then they went through my channel with a fine tooth comb. We’ll see if it all starts again when I post a new reaction. People are unsubscribing because I’m not reacting to PTX’s new songs but I normally like to let the act get all the views they can before reacting to a song plus I haven’t been doing new ones for a while. I’ll try do some before Christmas but I doubt they’ll get cleared before the big day. I’m glad my vids could keep you company, that’s a lovely thing to hear. Hopefully I can continue to keep you company over the coming weeks, I have a few vids ready to go and can make a few shorts too.

Their return meant so much to so many people. I appreciate your kind comment. Thank you for watching.

Thanks Tim, you’re the first person to mention that. But maybe my singing didn’t help. Here’s a video of me singing The Winner Takes It All, LIVE to give you an idea of my “professional" voice kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLlyfMSczL27h4k.html

Thank you Alex for your kind words. Yes that’s a great lyric by Björn and has so many different meanings for so many people, of all ages, all around the world. I hope you’ll consider subscribing so I can get another nice comment from you in the future. Thanks for sharing the return of ABBA with me.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I have recorded reactions to the Voyage album and I’m currently working on getting copyright clearance. I just watched a few of your beautiful videos on your channel and it makes my heart melt as I love America too much and I’m currently looking at homes there to live six months of the year. I’d move there permanently if it wasn’t for the Irish visa but I’ll take what I can get. Until recently I always visited Manhattan every year for the 4th of July fireworks, so your videos made me feel very sentimental. Thank you again for your kind words, I really appreciate it. The Happiest of Holidays to you and everyone you love, Barry.

Thank you for sharing their music with me.

❤️

Yes I had to do a bit of creative editing. The strange thing is my original post has the song muted in some countries and not in others but this one will play everywhere. Yes I love voyage but I must admit it took a few listens. Needless to say I recorded my reactions but they are mostly just me with a confused look on my face. The lyrics (like myself) are “a little unusual” at times but overall I love it! How about you, what did you think of it?

@@ItsmeBarry similar. I love it now. But it took a few listens. Apart from Keep An Eye On Dan. Instant favourite. Traumatic, urgent synth banger! I imagine them in leather and jumpers.

@@discogareth the abbbasolute cheek of me not giving your comment a heart. I should be in prison for such a crime. And it was a comment with a leather and jumpers reference and they are the best kind of comments. Yes, Keep an eye on Dan was an instant one for me too. I’ve listened to the album too many times and it still feels surreal, that, that’s my ABBA singing just for me…well you can listen too if you like 😉
