Same

For some reason, I always have the same. You just get into the vibe.... and before you know it, hoursss

Same. Except that I've been doing that two nights running now, and staying up half the night. Arrgh.

I don’t blame you mate!

Yup...waking up the house with my singing.

Me. It’s a work of art. And that’s from an old punk. That walking baseline, and that chorus. Superb.

Me, I am, ABBA are the best ever band ❤ I will be listening for ever more😊

Me, I love abba ❤

I am, and will be for many, many more years to come. 👍

me and in 77

Agnetha>>>>

Yes stunning and full of life and love

All four of them are very attractive! I especially thought Björn was dreamy when I was a teen.

Frida was stunning!

Congrats...Comment writing genius.

Had John Lennon not said it was the best pop song, Or was that SOS, anyways he was a avud fan of their music.

Agree with whole heart 💜

Agreed! Andersson/Anderson/Ulvaeus concocted so many great tunes.

Thank you for your professional music comment.

What a great comment. Their blended vocals are among the best ever.

Their voices were different from others that are ABBA franchise now. You named it... crystal voices

I have listened to Abba since 1974 and no one ever described the magic of the blend of their voices as perfect as you do👍

I love the similes you chose!

Agree! Definite wood.

Totally

No, but there is wall-of-sound, track layering technique. And lots of auto harmonies to create those haunting choruses

@@BroccoliBeefed Sure...but those layers were added on WITHOUT Autotune. As in....multple passes and hitting the right note each time.

ABBA never used autotune. Each vocal harmonie were sung by themselves originally.

Faultless. Heavenly.

Everyone seems sweet after they’ve had a line of coke the size of their leg

Composition, performance, production and arrangement all perfect. A masterpiece indeed.

I think its fair to say they are the most harmonious female duo ever - by a very long shot. Its like angels singing.@@inglepropnoosegarm7801

Masterpiece

When I first heard them, I assumed they were sisters (like Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart) because sibling harmonies are often so amazing. My mom was born in 1920, grew up very poor. Her dad died when she was five, her mom died when she was eleven in 1931, and she and 3 of her siblings went to an orphanage. The oldest was 14 and considered too old to go to the orphanage, so she went to work as a nanny for a widower with 2 small children. He married her when she turned 15. Their mom had no money for gifts for her five kids, so she gave them the only thing she could. She loved music and taught those kids to sing in harmony. She taught them every song she knew, from Gospel to 19th century bluegrass murder ballads, to funny novelty songs from the 1920s. When I was a kid, we had family reunions every year, and after supper everyone sat outside under the oak trees as cousin Dale brought out his guitar and those siblings would sing the songs their Momma taught them long ago. I loved hearing them sing!☺

FACT CHECKED: yes

I am also a great metal fan but the voices of this women is unparalled.

Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple's favorite band? ABBA!

You go girl!

❤️

I've already lost at least 30 minutes. :p

doesn't matter dear .... you'll wake even more fresh

haha so true, because it's the soundtrack to our lives.

I consider it time well spent.

YES!!!!!!!

💯 👏🏻 😍

I absolutely love their "imperfect" teeth! ❤

Me to,very much so. So sad the way people are today! Horrible

@Michael H. Hey I'm a Beatles fan to !

ABBA

@Michael H. Yesss Beatles ❤️

Shawaddywaddy?

As I grew up I was constantly amazed that yet another classic had appeared . After a few years you knew it was just a dead cert

I fell in love with ABBA the very first time hearing them in the 70's! They are truly a miracle from God!

I think who do not love ABBA have a problem of being GOOD.

@@hajnalkakun7665 but those freaks do exist... 🥸🥸

@@hajnalkakun7665 period

And the compositions as a whole. There's great reason why ABBA songs get interpreted into great instrumentals.

I believe that may be a synthesizer with a trumpet setting. :)

+Celtic Lady. Sadly, I'm old enough to remember when this first came out. It was an OK, average sort of song to me then. I never noticed all the subtleties in the arrangement that I can hear now. Now I realise just what a fantastic song this is (along with all of the others!) I've heard a lot of ABBA fans say that they didn't really appreciate how good they were at the time. It's only in recent years that they've experienced an epiphany.

who does not like it because they never heard or do not like what is good

Ben, a lot of their songs have great basslines (especially songs like One Of Us) that I never really noticed at the time. It was partially due to the fact that 40 years ago our TV's and radios had tiny little tinny speakers.

Lew Minati Wasn't they awful :) Great to hear the quality with today's stereo's,But' At least we still had music.

Sometimes the songs and tunes that stays with you forever are those that grows into you slowly not the HITs.

Same happens with ELO lol

Lovejazz01, I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Lovejazz01 Good call. that's what I'm doing right now lol

Lovejazz01 me too!!

I just started my marathon now!😁

True haa haaa.

After you have been welcomed by the last movement of Sibelius 5th symphony.

Frida

She's gorgeous

and, people today think only old crones get eyes bags and wrinkles! they're wrong!! Abba were youngsters here and they still had ''imperfections'' which I actually like and think they look great!!!

hejiranyc yes, it's nice to see some non perfect teeth!

And it is all the better for that - they all look fantastic

Natural beauty. No other way, be happy on how you look. I know I am

As an optimist I'm pretty sure things will come around eventually. What's true is true, and people will recognize that and move away from the million dollar productions surrounding beauty without talent.

Shane Luscombe Be proud brother, im a heavy metal fan too.. but nothing still compares to ABBA ever 👍

ABBA is not just about a particular. They glorify music in general.

*about a particular genre of music... (correction, above)

Abba brought me to King Crimson.

Agree!!

The ONLY way to play ABBA is very, very loud! You're doing the right thing (and thanks for the post!).

Backatcha! ❤️

To be Honest, "I" Can't pick a "Favorite" ABBA song. There are So Many that are LITERALLY Great. I can't pick just 1.

Great music,... and human beauty... 🌞

Greatest ABBA song.

How well you said it ! So true !

Stunning arrangement

Indeed, I've never seen them (or Agnetha & Bjorn) be so affectionate toward each other in any ABBA video.

I don't blame him. I try to look at my wife the same way.

It’s how I look at her too. 😆

The name of the game von ABBA gehört zu meinen Lieblingssongs

yes we also love abba

It makes you wonder why they all have runny noses though, doesn't it? 04:21

Supermodels? These women from back than were more sexy and attractive as any supermodel from today!!!

It looks to me like the name of the game is let's get another gram of coke.

I say this all the time lol

Robert Philip No, you're right, we won't.

Happy friendship day

So true..... amazing

We’re all already in the waiting room, so you’re right 😁

I love this!

Come on man, they’re not dead yet!

« Abba has never been a fave of mine, but… »😂😂😂😂

You ve perfectly expressed the pure explosion of joy when I listen to this part of this amazing song❤ It is baroque indeed, in a Scandinavian way: genius.

I always wondered where this was filmed. I love the red checked curtains!

Wow

Spot on! It’s spontaneous and genuine. She bursts out laughing with such abandon... and looks all the more beautiful !

Lovely, genuine, playful. Who could ask for more? Good eye, friend.

such a beautiful moment

I agree 100 percent it's so beautiful

@Abi_Lou I think it was true love ❤

To be fair, when Frida sings in a higher register I have mistaken her voice for Agnetha´s. For years I thought Departure was sung by Agnetha.

I love 'Departure'. Massive effect on me when I was 18 and about to go off to university.

@@seamuslittle Me too! :-)

You described it perfectly!

Just Love them , I can't imagine that there is someone who can hate those talented and beautiful people

They were sheer genius composers the guys😍😍😍

That's one of my favorite parts of the song. Even that short figure has some intricate 3-part in there.

Great to see that I’m not the only one who is enjoying this. Absolutely stunning composing.

The version on ABBA Gold does just that, skips the second verse and goes straight to another round of chorus to the end. I hate that version because I love the second verse, and it makes no sense when they sing “your smile and the sound of your voice” in the ending chorus, because that line is introduced in the second verse.

100% it's wonderful but drives me crazy at the same time!

It is. With its intricate verses and bridges, it's not like a hit song at all. Still, it comes out as a masterpiece.

I love love love ABBA. This song, and SOS are my absolute favourites; they have the most wonderful layers, depth, melody, and lyrics in my opinion.

Is a great song, and one that I didnt knew before, until i hear it in Mamma Mia...

I think you just described every abba song!

💯

I consider this one of their 'hidden gems' in the sense that it isn't one of their most popular songs.

I love this song , take a chance and Waterloo

Their production , sound engineering 👌 off the charts, maybevtheir best and most unique recording so far ❤

same here :) I heard them for the first time as a baby exactly 30 years ago, on my Mom's birthday :)

Frida is was and still is stunning!!!!!

Yes she is!!! Always loved her!!!

@@steverowlands338 You have taste sir - like me. All the best 🙂

@@hellbent7976 She was a beauty then and is now. All the best to you 🙂

Oe.

Agree, but only underrated commercially I believe. Like SOS (and others of course), a masterful composition rightfully recognised by peers...

True! It’s one of my favorites! Very underrated 🥰

So True, Koot 1968. Very underrated but timing is everything in the music business; perhaps this is why this tune was as big as it should have been.

Exactly! That's what I feel, a special atmosphere in this song. I used to sing it going to school, during the classes, returning home. Magic part of my life.

Very true, my favourite Abba song.

Indeed, but my "number four" in my ABBA-Singlehit-topten.

Yes. It's now my new favorite ABBA song. Always liked them, but after watching a documentary on them last night I have "rediscovered" my love of their music - and this song in particular.

Nirvana Fan Of course,cause they has had many more better.Good,lovely,but Money(3),Gimme(2),Dancing Queen overshadows it.

This, Waterloo and SOS were the Apex of their talent.

Well, it was released as a single, and there's no such thing as an unsuccessful ABBA single, so better quit parroting cliché typical KZfaq "underrating" comments where it does not belong or apply, if you kindly will.

🌹

They never seem to get old. I just discovered ABBA last April, 2022 so they are all new to me.

@@jamesswain2465 They began 50 years ago.

@@jamesswain2465 Their most beautiful song is Abba - Chiquitita (Official Music Video)

@@jamesswain2465 Another beauty is Abba - I Have A Dream - High Quality

@@ratter531 😀I appreciate that, but it is impossible to say which one is the most beautiful song. There are SO many. To me it changes all the time right now it is "I am not that woman" from the new album. Greetings from Finland!

It was a good manufactured song band. No one can beat the Beatles.

Beatles was rock n roll for me

Do you think the Song All you need is Love, is Rock? Blackbird?YEsterday? HEy JUde?

yes, I agree. Abba is the best.

garddisc

and I suppose Bob Dylan for what he did for stoners. The Bee Gees for boosting my brothers ego and making his head even bigger than it was back then. He did the whole John Travolta thing and all. On top of that, he looked just like the Beib!. Me? I looked like Screech from saved by the bell, so no luck with the ladies for me. lol

***** You're a moron.

***** On what credible grounds do you make such an unsubstantiated claim like that? Indulge me. I'm all ears.

***** please leave

+J. P. Perfectly put.

I ' believe one of the critics was Rolling Stone magazine ' ABBA were too pleasant and pure for their liking ' they prefer to idolize people that plant bombs that cripple and maim other people.

NME was one. There's a youtube of Benny getting stuck into an NME reporter at the Voyage thing last May. He has a long memory.

I couldn't have said it better!!

I honestly dont think there has ever been a greater pairing of voices, these 2 girls set the benchmark & it has never been beaten.

FACT CHECKED: yes

its fabulous !

It was a number one in UK and many other euro countries. It’s their only 5 part song, complex one.

She knew her power, too, sat among those trees.

I'm with you on this.

ABBA - The Name Of The Game 0842am 3.8.23 the working title of this song was: what's the name of the fart? and a starter for ten: which recording studio engineer pulled off the massive feat of not only collecting the whole liquor store stash for a heavy abba recording session but broke wind as he entered the recording room door as beni was bouncing down the original 8 track. his mighty guff being heard from quite some distance and can still be discerned much to beni's consternation.. during the opening of said song?

Sure

+snoopylovesme100 They both had / have literally perfect amazing voices. I think in 300 years music teachers will be playing songs of theirs for schoolchildren to learn from like they do with classical music today. Super Trouper has the most perfect middle eight section I've ever heard in my life, it is absolutely pop perfection.

ABSOLUTELY

yes it's really true!!!!!

John lennon and paul McCartney COUGH. Jeff lynne and Kelly groucutt COUGH.

Exactly the same feeling. Greetings from Malta.

Instant obsession at 11 years old with Waterloo. Never looked back.

A time of innocence and true love

I'm addicted to meth

The world wasn't any better. You were just younger.

Ah, but their voices... Their voices.

Agnetha and Frida are both very nice and talented, voices are unlike others.

@@MonRojasOfficial That's what I wanted to say...

@@user-gx9sf9iu6o I'm only saying this once. Agnetha and Frida are both pretty and have nice singing voices but I think agnetha is the prettiest. P.S. she reminds me of Gustavo's mom a little bit.

I think Bjorn had the only straight teeth in the group.

***** no that's not the 70s that's just Sweden

Yes, natural beauty :)

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw this music video The real people.

***** At least it's better than today's beauty that involves Plastic Surgery and Botox...

Agnetha is.

They both look stunning, natural beauty.

Agnetha was and still is gorgeous in her own way. They're just unique individuals!

Quite right Mario we will never see the likes of them again beautiful women stunning voices who complimented each other

@@patrickmccarthy3123 They more often complemented than complimented each other... :) (Compliment - politely congratulate or praise (someone) for something) Complement - Contribute extra features to (someone or something) in such a way as to improve or emphasize their qualities;

The game's not over , whatever the name of it . Keep playing ABBA .

Forever young at Abba Voyage... Not that I have been. So 🫰 expensive

I agree I love this song. So underrated.

Agree!!!

yyy

Only music snobs would disagree I think. This music will always be listened to and loved.

No doubt of it.

Brilliantly said !!!!😇🥰🥰🥰❤

Hey You gotta check out a band called The Doublejumps if you like ABBA. Beautiful singing and songwriting

ABBA'S best in my opinion.

Oh yes, the first cd of ABBA I bought was ABBA gold and I remember that I liked the part of this song when Frida starts to sing in solo but later didn't know which song was and I couldn't relate it with the start which sounded somehow darker than the rest of the song.

Thats the formula for a real pop tune, a melody and a clever countermelody. Not many musicians can do that anymore.. its more like the same theme repeated all over. Many of todays pop tunes would due for a bridge only in the 70ies..

It's genius

And one of the songs is even a capella.

It’s a stunning song. And that’s from a lifelong punk!

very subtle. very sexy.

You got me. Good spot :)

That's correct. I have the discography and I believe as you stated that there is not one bad song at all.

I agree

Absolutely

Please. Today’s world sucks

Casey Greyson it happens. I was a school boy when abba were making most of their hits. And since Denmark is so close to Sweden it makes me proud to be a Scandinavian. But even Denmark had its musical place in the sun with AQUA, another great ban.
