Growing up as a teen in Europe Abba was like lifeline oxygene for us.They were EVERYWHER and longlasting.As some other fellas once stated 'Back then We didn't need Prozac we had ABBA",/'ABBA were our fairytale" and the perfumed soundscape of our childhood.

Growing up this was the band of all bands for their song style. I had a lot of ABBA songs on tape. yes I said tape. Nice reaction my friend and hope to see more from you. Peace and caring to you from further east.

Best band ever

Bjorn said it was mostly fiction but far later on he kinda stated it was also somewhere between fiction and reality cause it was kinda subconsciously influenced by their breakup.When the finalised result of the song was presented and Agnetha first sang the backing track he thought 'God there's so much emotion in it",as he said 'there was not a dry eye in the house"-Bjorn Ulveaus on a Swedish interview about this song in 2021.

ABBA is acronim with initials of Their first names, two swedish couples: Agnetha (blonde singer) & Björn (guitarist songwriter) Benny (pianist songwriter) & Anni Frid 'Frida' (brunette singer) both couples separated before the break up of the group "The winner takes it all" (1980) is one of the Best Songs by ABBA and the Most sad and emotional too The best lyrics and the greatest performing with the amazing Interpretation of the lead singer in this TV show express at Germany 1980 you could see the same blonde Agnetha free and natural in the next song "Super Trouper" and very energetic in the last song "On and on and on" (and with her ex husband) but the people who see it only here (and not the whole mini show) are left with the incomplete morbidity of the guitarist who wrote the song for their recently divorced ex-wife But it's a performance of ABBA, with magnificent interpretation of Agnetha, that She knows how to transmit with Her gestures and body and facial expression the spirit and feeling of the songs (I remember Her in others songs before like "S.O.S." or "I've been waiting for You" from 1975, when She was happily married) The lyrics is a fiction, it is not about Their real life, although it is obviously influenced by Their own experiences and the realization of the legal divorce in the middle of 1980, even though They were no longer a couple or lived together more than a year and half ago, at the end of 1978 I suggest to see the next songs in these TV show: "Super Trouper" with the brunette singer Frida in lead voice (same TV studio, staff and outfits) ABBA have more than 20 worldwide hits between 1972/1982, included: Waterloo, Fernando, Dancing Queen, Take a chance on me, Chiquitita All these songs are in your album recopilation GOLD (1992) that have much more than 1.000 weeks at Top 100 in UK Official Charts (first group singer or artist to do it)

A masterpiece of 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️. This performance took place in 1980. In that year, the divorce of Agnetha (the blonde singer) and Björn (at her side with the acoustic guitar) was resolved (although they had already been separated for almost two years). The following year, Frida (the other singer) and Benny, the man at the piano, divorced... The four continued as a band until 1982 (at least in their first stage). Great react, by the way👌. Please more 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️ 🙏... Greetings ❤ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍

ABBA was my youth, I grew up with them. If you haven't done it yet, I highly suggest that you listen to Swedish metal singer Tommy Johansson's performance of this song. He has also covered (ABBA's) Money Money Money. Greetings from Germany!

Never knew that was the story behind the song 😮 and that was one of their biggest hits

Always loved the song despite the message.
