Now I want an entire album of my favourite 70’s songs - acoustic folky jazz - to reimagine my memories

never thought dancing queen could make me wanna sleep next to a fireplace in the middle of the woods

Oscar Isaac, "If it was never new and it never gets old, then it's a folk song."

This video was given to me by KZfaq algorithm. I did not expect much until I listened to this song. What a great interpretation of this song. Very very very well done!

It's hurtful when you see something that would relate to someone but the person isn't there with you anymore. Wish I could show my mom this beautiful song

totally unexpected but would totally work as part of an OST. the dancing queen in her later years wistfully reflecting upon her heyday, or the seventeen year old girl staring at herself in the mirror and singing in the dressing room after a particularly emotionally demanding scene

This version is a total vibe. The immediate narrative that came to mind was someone coming to accept the good times they had but needing to move on to new and better things. Bittersweet moment. Loved it.

That was absolutely FANTASTIC! So amazing how a different arrangement can totally change the whole way you “look” at a song. Your voice is beautiful and your playing is too! Thank you for that!!

Oh no I love it more than I've ever loved anything.

My Grandma died a year ago and this was one of her favourite songs. I’ve been trying to find a way to cover it for her memorial we are having in August, and you are absolutely my inspiration. Thank you so much for making this.

I've honestly never liked this song; but, I could listen to this on repeat. Your voice is absolutely beautiful.

This is song became so popular back in the day that is easy to forget that underneath the disco hype there’s a melodic jewel. And you girl rediscover that jewel with this version. So, so beautiful.

she says sorry for badlighting but damn that audio is crisp af. Old songs reinvented as folk sounds like a new genre I like

This is how it would sound if Mamma Mia was a John Green novel turned movie. Also I need this on Spotify, it's so good

the fingerpicking is a great ghostly reminder of the original's string flourishes. Sounds killer

Having heard this song for years and getting tired of it to the point I’d skip it or leave the room, I’m shocked in hearing it this way, I fell in love with it all over again!

I was having a truly awful day, now I'm happy crying. Whatever ever happens in your life, whenever you feel down or guilty or whatever, remember that you did this for a stranger so many thousand miles away. Thanks.

Please put this on Spotify I will never stop listening to it I’m crying wow

This is wonderful, I had no idea the lyrics were so sweet, and that the song held a story of such youthful power.

Fun fact about this particular stranger on the internet: I can no longer listen to Dancing Queen because it was played at the end of the first ever funeral I went to. Sweet Nelly Furtado this version hits like a runaway train.

KZfaq recommendations DID NOT disappoint me

This is watering my plants, healing my acne, organizing my world at a level you cannot even imagine. You're the best singer out there! Because singers are measured by their EAR, and not only how they Sing (or the produced Sound). Hadn't found someone with that much EAR out there. Ever. To have transformed this masterpiece into another masterpiece, that now soothes my heart to levels and places you cannot imagine and fathom oh yes.

Frozen in my tracks, as my jaw dropped to the floor!! Glory to creating such Profound 😮 Expression in a more poetic leaning, and mesmerizing flow!!!

I like covers that go in a different direction so this is right up my alley. Kudos to the first class production... good lighting, good recording, vocals are excellent... everything came together nicely. Well done and keep up the great work!

I'm going to have a mamma mia themed wedding someday you are all invited and this will be the version of the song playing as i walk down the aisle 😘

I feel like this song would play over a happy slo-mo montage of a group of friends having a blast at a fun party. Shots of them dancing and smiling and laughing with each other. Nostalgic, happy, and bittersweet at the same time. :)

That's how things should be done. Round of applause for Stacey! ❤

What a wonderful take on a classic. Hope your music reaches as many people as you want it to.

That, Young Lady, is a Home Run! You made a 63 year old grizzled man shed a tear.

This is how one covers a classic. True to the original, and also truly original. Your unique vocal intonations on these classic melody lines are absolutely sublime. Bravo!

You said sorry for the lighting, but it looks very cosy and warm, which in my opinion suited the atmosphere so well. Lovely cover, which adds just the right amount of freshness to this song. I also loved the accompaniment and the subtle piano in the background. Just overall beautiful and dreamy, I loved it

im speechless, this is amazing. your voice gave me chills. i could listen to this for hours ❤

Never thought I'd cry over Dancing Queen.

You don't understand, I'm OBSESSED

This is so good! The presence in her voice is absolute! ♥️

I've been a fan of folk since I was in the 8th grade. You did this song serious justice while making it entirely new. Great work!

I figured out the guitar for anyone who’s interested in covering this version! It’s just by ear so it may not be 100% but it’s pretty close. Picking: Travis picking (P ‘ I M P A I M); Capo 6 Intro: C Fmaj7 Chorus: C, Fmaj7 // G, E7, Am, Am/G, Fmaj7/C // Dm, G, C, // C, Fmaj7 Verses: C, Fmaj7, C // G, E7, Am // Fmaj7 G

This is my favourite version ever! You're so amazing.

Oh, I love this! Excellent composition, Stacey. What a beautiful and unexpected rendition. I love your voice.

I listened to this after learning about the World Central Kitchen works deaths in Gaza and bawled like a baby... Thank you. There is still beauty it this world.

i almost never comment on people's yt videos, but this is just pure gold

I can't even express how your style is so much pleasure to listen to.

2 years ago. TWO YEARS KZfaq! And this is first I’m hearing of this? Thousands of hours of how to make a dove tail join with nothing but a butter knife and a dream! But you couldn’t show me this? Bad algorithm! Bad bad algorithm! (This was beautiful BTW - thank you Stacey).

Thanks for this. My friends made me sing that song when doing karaoke last weekend & I only wish I had known this version existed. Its something we do to pick at each other. We will select the songs someone else will sing, usually something which isn't their style just to make them uncomfortable. It may sound terrible, but we're guys. We keep each other humble.

this version is unreal.

It's as though I've never heard this song properly until now.

This is magic. A magic causing goosebumps all over human body.

I have always gravitated toward heavier rock and metal but I freaking LOVE ABBA. My son, now 30, still defends me to our friends! LOL This is just amazing.

The "bad lighting" brings a great touch to the mood 👍

This is not a cover, this is a version. Gorgeous.

Crazy that only now I discovered this video but it's so freaking good!!! I love it, you're very talented!

I learnt this song only because of your amazing version. You bring life to old/great songs

Beautiful

Lyrics ❤️ Ooh You can dance You can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl Watch that scene Digging the dancing queen Friday night and the lights are low Looking out for a place to go Where they play the right music Getting in the swing You come to look for a king Anybody could be that guy Night is young and the music's high With a bit of rock music Everything is fine You're in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance You are the dancing queen Young and sweet Only seventeen Dancing queen Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah You can dance You can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl Watch that scene Digging the dancing queen You're a teaser, you turn 'em on Leave 'em burning and then you're gone Looking out for another Anyone will do You're in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance You are the dancing queen Young and sweet Only seventeen Dancing queen Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah You can dance You can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl Watch that scene Digging the dancing queen Digging the dancing queen

Wow what a voice ! You are incredible. You need to be on stage. The Folk version idea is excellent = sort of Joni Mitchell folk. I want to hear more!

Oh my god I happened to see this video and chose to grant myself an intermezzo in between this compilation of a British panel show (which I do love a lot, it's QI in case anyone was wondering) and to be completely frank with you I am not that much into ABBA but I do love listening to and making folk music (in fairness this is me unnecessary speculatingly trying to explain why I did not hesitate for one second and immediately clicked to have a listen and view obviously) - I was crying 30 seconds into the song and I would like to add that it's not like I don't mind ABBA, but rather detest them. So well done you for having me burst out in tears late at night/early morning although very much much more importantly for the first time appreciating a song originally by ABBA. Phenomenal... wow! Still shook up...

"So I was thinking: what if Dancing Queen by ABBA was a folk song?" [ *immediately breaks into a heart-wrenching vocalization* ] Fantastic adaptation. Incredible performance.

yo! this hits HAHA, this is awesome this should be a duet with Don Mclean

Eyes all teary.. hits the feels this. Magnificent.. i miss my voice. Ive been really struggling with repetitive infections and not singing along is tough but luckily my heart sang every note

Angel's voice, girl! Loved your performance!

Ok... I'm living for this.... who are you and where have you been all my life?

OK, in LOVE. Awesome cover woman!

your voice is so peaceful, like literally calming and so relaxing, thank you for blessing us with it

This is really good. I never thought about this song in a "not dancing way", but you nailed it.

listening to this with headphones is like traveling to a brand new universe, thank you

Your vocal control is incredible, your sound is so gentle and sweet, your arrangement so smart. Just lovely, lovely music.

Your voice just makes me go "wow" everytime I hear it. You're just so talented it's insane😭❤️

Technically this is wonderful, great choice of notes, wonderful phrasing and interpretation. A gifted talent. I have always had great taste in music and vocalists. This one is really a pleasure start to finish. Driving gentle wonderful.

Currently struggling with heart palpitations, nausea, and so many worries but this genuinely quieted everything for a while.

I am a HUGE Abba fan and this is simply stunning. Those opening “aha” notes honestly made me tear up. How beautiful.

This is absolutly beautiful and so magical. Honestly, what a gift you have.

This is not a cover this is pure musical genius, thank you girl, your voice makes me happy & sad at the same time and that's marvelous

I can see this cover/rendition on a trailer for a movie.

I didn’t know I needed to hear Dancing Queen folk version until I heard Dancing Queen folk version

Literally crying. Amazing arrangement and beautiful voice. So clear and gorgeous! Ur brilliant!!!

What a beautiful voice. And your interpretation is just brilliant. Thank you for this.

I'm drinking my freshly brewed tea, enjoying my lit candle, and this song pops on my suggested feed... Needless to say, I'm at peace.

girl, u have to know that i listen to this every-single-night. bye love ur voice

OMGGGG this is one of the best covers I've ever heard, your voice is so pretty

This is so soothing and masterful. Great fingerstyle, nice touch on the guitar. Love your voice and incredible talent. Especially like the last chord.

Wow that's actually an astonishing way to sing that song. I was pretty dazed, nice one!

i felt this on a deep level that I don't think I've ever felt music before ngl

she’s really good, i love this song, it was the first abba song i listened to

this reminds me of the tender lightness that gripped my chest when I first heard James VIncent's cover of higher love. I just bathed in the sound like a cool breeze on a cloudy that takes the unease and pent up everything. this added five years to my life span.

loved this cover!!

Wow! I have always loved this song and most of ABBA’s songs as well, but this version is hauntingly beautiful. I love how you made it your own, but kept the spirit of this song. You’re beautiful voice and playing style are also quite awesome. You just made a new fan with that one song.

I need this on Spotify so I can listen to this where ever I go on repeat forever

This is like when a-ha played their old songs in a very folk setting in their 2017 MTV Unplugged set. Very heartfelt

Your covers of songs from my youth bring a tear to this old man's eye. Thank you.

If this was heard in the 70's/80's/90's it would be a sensational hit. These days, people are realizing that many more than just a select few have extraordinary talent. KZfaq is many things, but for vids like this, it's awesome. This, is top class. I only really tune in to cover versions if they are unique and if possible, improve on the original. This is both. It's great.

the finger pattern has a similar vibe to grow as we go

I need this on Spotify ASAP bc I am LIVING FOR THIS SONG OH MY GOD

I think the lighting fits wonderfully with the song, creates a different ambience in that room. Thanks for the beautiful cover!

Wow.....I am impressed.....how beautiful.....The voice, the guitar AND the lights....;-)

This is pure and authentic, right from the soul; exactly how music is supposed to be made. Congrats girl, you made me cry in a sunday afternoon

Lyrics Ooh You can dance You can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl Watch that scene Digging the dancing queen Friday night and the lights are low Looking out for a place to go Where they play the right music Getting in the swing You come to look for a king Anybody could be that guy Night is young and the music's high With a bit of rock music Everything is fine You're in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance You are the dancing queen Young and sweet Only seventeen Dancing queen Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah You can dance You can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl Watch that scene Digging the dancing queen You're a teaser, you turn 'em on Leave 'em burning and then you're gone Looking out for another Anyone will do You're in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance You are the dancing queen Young and sweet Only seventeen Dancing queen Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah You can dance You can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl Watch that scene Digging the dancing queen Digging the dancing queen

Very few things in life exceed my expectations to this extent. The world around me stopped for a few minutes.

What microphone do you use for recording? Your audio is so clean and we're really able to hear the full depth of your voice :)

Got this on my front page, the algorythym is about to bless you

I could totally picture a young Dolly Parton writing and performing this version. Incredible performance 👍
