ABBA's most relatable song ever.

Yes, it is pronounced Be' orn in English. (It's Be' ern in Swedish)

The contrast it produces is incredible. In its time it was almost ignored by critics and commercially. So much so that it was ABBA's biggest chart flop since "So Long" in 1974. But it was vindicated many years later in that UK TV special that chose the best ABBA song among all their singles. and "The day before you came" closed the podium, behind "Dancing Queen" in second place and the first place to "The winner takes it all" The official video also features Agnetha alone, with a co-star, for the entire first half of the song. And just after the instrumental bridge, the three remaining members of ABBA appear, completely separated, disconnected from each other, on the stage of a theater or cinema, with Agnetha singing and the rest 'in a passive pose'. That video is a reflection of what ABBA was at that time before their breakup and at the same time their 10-year anniversary. "The day before you came" is the second longest of ABBA (only surpassed by "Eagle", by a couple of seconds) But I think that the final minute is left over For many it is a Masterpiece, for many it is the best ABBA song And surely you will have many comments and views here And it's perfect But for me it is one more song, routine like its rhythm and lyrics, it doesn't even enter my Top50 of the fantastic ABBA catalog with "The day before you came" For me the same applies as for the previous one "Like an angel passing through my room" I see them as if they were songs by solo singers, not by a group like ABBA as Björn and Benny have said, 90% of the ABBA sound is the combined voices of Agnetha and Frida, they together make the Magic of ABBA and in these songs for me that magic is missing But that's what it's all about, the variety of opinions and tastes, and sharing with respect in their diversity. best regards to all

After listening to some of ABBA songs, especially their later ones, you have go for a walk because they are too relatable to your own life and you find tears in your eyes. I feel sorry for the people that have not experienced ABBA and their greatness. What a magnificent, magical band. ❤

Haaaaa Gayyyyyyyyy

The girls sing way better than the guys.

Bjorn Ulvaeus wrote Slipping through my Fingers about his and Agnetha's Daughter Linda Elin Ulvaeus on how fast she was growing up right tbefore their very eyes.

I love your reaction 😍♥️ amazing song, interpretation and supreme Frida and 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️

Prefer this song than One of us. Frida at her best...

Such underrated masterpiece...

Jesus, a real masterpiece, both vocals so marvelous, the piano so delicate... Frida beautiful in her furcoat. No doubt Abba is genius.

Perfect description. This song is life affirming, it celebrates life in all its emotional scale and grandeur. You feel sad but at the same time you want to live and you feel happiness when hearing this pop masterpiece. You feel beauty in this song and you feel happy for experiencing such beauty. It’s true ABBA classic and pop music masterpiece.

I think they had one more album in them back then - and I reckon it could have been one of the defining synth albums of the 80s...

ABBA is always emotional, that´s why they`re unique!!! Every song goes straight to your heart. Even when is a happy song.

Have you done don't shut me down?

Bellísimos,un exitaso, felicitaciones, Agnetha lo haces para los dioses

Zeddy, your close shaved hair really suits you, not sure about the other vids where you have actual hair. Short hair suits you a lot. Yet again, ABBA grant us an amazing "break-up" song. They never stopped being brilliant. Right to the end of their work back in '81.

THE greatest pop song ever made. I know it's massively overplayed in various territories, but it really is an incredible piece of work - step back from all that baggage and just LISTEN. It's astonishingly well arranged and produced, which is why it sounds just as fresh today as it did back in 1976.

Having commanded the pop world for at least 7 years at this point in 1981, in their dying embers as a group they still managed to produce what I think it their best album "The Visitors". And had time to pop this out, a gloomy Scandinavian melancholic masterpiece, as their final recording. It's a stunning track, and has all kinds of hidden meanings if one wants to delve into that. I don't trust anyone who has any interest in music who says they don't at least appreciate ABBA. They consistently poured out banger, after banger, after banger - there's never been, and never will be any band like that again. They returned to us recently in a glorious moment, but that original run of theirs is a legacy that resonates to this day. ABBA will never get old, thanks to the likes of you who discover the magnificence, and pass it on to new generations who should never be without it.

The "I died and went to heaven" edit was glorious. We all did. We all still do. You will always do so too now. That's the majesty of ABBA.

One of the best songs of all time, from one of the (top 5?) Groups of all time.

They really are intoxicating aren't they.

Love youu

Funny how the first thing he says is how different the video is for ABBA, but not the song. But at the same time, while it's doing many brave things, considering where they went musically from 1980 to 1981, is this really such a huge leap in alienation as too many idiots felt it was on release?

Can't believe this was a flop back in the day. F***ing masterpiece.

My favourite ABBA song too! Love Agnetha's voice. You could feel her emotions.

This is one of my favorite ABBA songs! Love the music and Agnetha's storytelling vocals! Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song.

This is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece ❤

The science of ABBA's music has been found to stimulate Beta waves in the human mind. Cool. Hope this helps to understand.

The Spanish versión of tris song is great

And just like that, you get hit by the ABBA train of emotions.. Amazing how their lyrics and performances evoke so much emotion ❤

Frida ❤

Frida and Benny's divorce song ❤

I think my favorite part of this reaction video comes at the 7:48 mark 😊. Nice reaction Zeddy and contrary to your comment that no one wants to hear you sing, I thought it was super sweet seeing you moved by this song and hearing you sing along with it.

Анкета ты была счастлива в тот момент до предела

Really like your reactions! I would recommend my favorite song “Eagle” 😊

This one together with "When all is said and done" are my top 2 ABBA songs.

You have great emotions. 😢

AGNETHA THE BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN GIRL!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

abba if it wasnt for the night ;) another one you might like ;)

love you ;)

Als der Song 1982 veröffentlicht wurde und ich das erste mal die Single auflegte kamen mir voll die Tränen. Schon nach dem ersten Anhören war mir klar, dass es für den Rest meines Lebens für immer mein Lieblingssong sein würde. Umd das hat sich auch bis heute nicht geändert.

Agnitha's beautiful soprano voice was probably the best soprano voice ever in popular music 🎶

You're right. Soprano and mezzo-soprano. A beautiful combination.

Amazing song, almost melancholic, and these guys weren't writing in their native language. Fantastic.

ABBA trademarked the Sound of The 70s.

For some reason that line "breaking uo is never easy I know" is one of the things I really remember from when I was 16.

My fav Abba song. It’s a masterpiece. Have you reacted to The Visitors yet? Very different, but equally good.

Loving your Abba reactions
