I love when ABBA is covered acoustically. It shows the versatility of the music and the lyrics that they produced.

The way the artist did not change the sex of the subject takes this rendition to a whole new heartbreaking perspective. Brilliant

Dude its 2022 and still hearing this masterpiece

Abba fan here but absolutely love this version. You can really feel the pain

Clever and gorgeous version of Angeleyes, John Grant's voice is wonderful, he can bring so much emotion in his singing.

One of the best ABBA covers ever. Great vocals.

Wow. Makes this song's innate sadness come to the forefront. Like to hear them do more ABBA covers in this vein.

Love the vocal harmonization, and the fact that it's just acoustic guitars adds to the strength of this song.

Brilliant version of a brilliant song !

This song takes on a life of its own. Beautiful cover version .

have enjoyed listening to this for years! so beautiful! all heart! you can hear the passion in his voice, John Grant = Legend

such an amazing song. love this equally as much as the original

What a fabulous cover!!

Not only is it a male version it's a gay male version. Awesome. The harmonies in the chorus are wonderful.

Im sorry I couldn't love you A. I really wanted to, I still do and I miss you. I just know you were not the one. Every bit of this cover reminded me of you

Never thought of this ABBA song as something sad - but the lyrics are quite touching..!

Wahnsinn.... best abba cover ever

Amazing band, amazing cover version.

Awesome cover. Waterloo Radio plays this a lot. EXCELLENT!!!

Masterpiece.

his voice gives me peace I want to cry❤

This is an awesome cover!

Astonishing cover

The album (Sorry I Made You Cry) is entirely covers and I recommend it. I especially like the cover of the classic "Where the Boys Are." It gives the song a whole new dimension.

this song is amazing! i had been trying to find it for years after one of my friends let me listen to it at her house---thanks for posting it on youtube :)

Preciosa versión para una brillante canción de ABBA!!

JOhn Grant (AKA The Czars) is a brilliant artist.

I knew I recognised this song when I first heard it in HMV but it took me at least an hour to realise that it was an Abba song I haven't heard forever

keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes Keep thinking, ah-ah Last night, I was taking a walk along the river And I saw him together with a young girl And the look that he gave her made me shiver 'Cause he always used to look at me that way Then I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say "Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play" Look into his angel eyes One look and you're hypnotized He'll take your heart and you must pay the price Look into his angel eyes You'll think you're in paradise And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into those angel eyes Oh no, no, no, no (Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) (Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) (Ah-ha-ha) I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes I keep thinking, ah-ah Sometimes when I'm lonely, I sit and think about him And it hurts to remember all the good times When I thought I could never live without him And I wonder, does it have to be the same Every time? When I see him, will it bring back all the pain? Ah-ha-ha, how can I forget that name? Look into his angel eyes One look and you're hypnotized He'll take your heart and you must pay the price Look into his angel eyes You'll think you're in paradise Then one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into those angel eyes Crazy 'bout his angel eyes Angel eyes He took my heart and now I pay the price Look into his angel eyes You'll think you're in paradise Then one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into those angel eyes Oh no, no, no, no (Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) (Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) (Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) keep thinking Keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes (ah-ha-ha) Keep thinking (ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) Keep thinking, had to pay the price (ah-ah, ah-ah-ah) Keep thinking (ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) Keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes (ah-ah-ah) Keep thinking (ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) Keep thinking, had to pay the price (ah-ah, ah-ah-ah) Keep thinking (ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

Very nice! Good job.

This is wonderfull thank you so very much!

I love this version.

Best ABBA cover ever!

Love this!

Excellent call.

oo massive John Grant fan just discovering the Czars stuff. Beautiful

I just ordered it on Amazon.... yeah!!!!! hope it arrives before my summer holidays.

this is great,makes me want to cover this

love it!

i love how they changed the sex of the narrator but not of the subject....

Great cover versions.....

Brilliant

Sublime!

This is from a really great Czars album called Sorry I Made You Cry, full of great covers like this....

Congrats. Pretty decent and sensitive version

great!

Very good!!!!!!!! It's difficult to cover Abba and most of them are... But this is great :-)

Nice cover :-)

Vraiment bien

Super video like my new friend

very true

FAN DE........

Really a bittersweet cover for a song with a great touch of which I'm proud: it's a shame that the song wasn't in Mamma Mia, along with "Genetic Test", the song that ABBA rejected from me in 1973 back when I was still writing songs for them; yet, they used the song as most of the plot for Mamma Mia. At least you can check out the song on my KZfaq page.

The best Abba cover versions are sung by Men rather than women. I think it is because most women cannot match Agnetha and fridas vocal ability. Check out Tommy Korberg singing 'The winner takes it all' or John Barrowman and Daniel Boys singing the chess song ' I know him so well'

@discogareth The Czars also cover Connie's multi-million seller Where The Boys Are. Agnetha modeled herself after Connie.

Is this a re-upload, as it sounds different to what I remember?!

Well, I'm not gay, but I have to say that this is the most effective and original cover of this song I've ever heard.

This is better than the original which I always skip when playin VV !!!

@dopplesoldners Actually if you listen closely, the word "girl" in the line "...where I saw him together with a young girl" is changed to "boy" in this cover. So, the song is sung in a gay context. This cover is still amazing though!

Excellent but I do prefer the John Grant version.

Hello, If interested; The first version of our Abba Tribute song "Hey You Ring Me Tonight" - made up by around 15 Abba song titles is Free to download (together with artwork made by Abba cartoonist Hans Arnold R.I.P) at riverside-records.se/artistsida/airwaves.htm If you have listen; hope you enjoy it. A video of the latest version is uploaded on KZfaq Best Regards

Playing at 1.25x speed!

This is awesome but John Grant (from the czars) does a solo electric piano based cover of this on a Radio 2 Dermot O'Leary Saturday Sessions cd which is even better than this.

This is an up tempo classic song from the 70's, I don't think turning it into a "I slowly wanna drain all the blood off my body and die in agony" tempo version is such a good idea.

Gay!! Love it! X

Abba considerare rubbish by most of music magazines and by the supreme judges of good and evil working as musical critics.. This new stesso Taylor made for of theiir Song displays that they were. Excellent melodies makers and that Czars are of the most underrated banda ever.

Last night I was taking a walk along the river And I saw her together with a young boy And the look that she gave made me shiver 'Cause she always used to look at me that way

Not a gay version just becoz he changed the young girl to young boy coz the original was sung in context of a girls sadnesd sung by a girl

The singer is gay. Listen to the words - he changes the gender from the original.

Hah -so ABBA rejected songs from you? 1973? Witty :) -the swedish band who wrote all their songs themselves, rejected a song by you some 35 years ago? Do you get any attention with these pranks? "..still writing songs for them"?? 1973??? hmmm -knowing all their recording sessions from back then, I am amused -have you listened to their 1973 stuff? Neil Sedaka wrote lyrics for "Ring Ring" -and your songs were...? Bahh -humbug!!

I dont like this version. I think angeleyes should be upbeat and something to dance. keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes, keep thinkin aaaaaaarahahahahaa....

keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes Keep thinking, ah-ah Last night, I was taking a walk along the river And I saw him together with a young girl And the look that he gave her made me shiver 'Cause he always used to look at me that way Then I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say "Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play" Look into his angel eyes One look and you're hypnotized He'll take your heart and you must pay the price Look into his angel eyes You'll think you're in paradise And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into those angel eyes Oh no, no, no, no (Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) (Ah-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) (Ah-ha-ha) I keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes I keep thinking, ah-ah Sometimes when I'm lonely, I sit and think about him And it hurts to remember all the good times When I thought I could never live without him And I wonder, does it have to be the same Every time?
