I'd never really realised what a personal song this is. To be able to stand there and sing to the world, about how lucky you are, to be able to stand there, and sing to the world. It's really beautiful in fact.
I totally agree. And you can hear it in the joy when she says 'What a joy, what a life, what a chance'. Not gonna lie, sometimes brings a tear to the eye....Beautiful.
true that, these day artist think they deserve everything. Glad my mother helped me hearing this songs. i was born a little late for the concerts haha 1990
No it isn't. My mother tongue is Swedish. We had the 4 th strongest airforce in the world during the 60s to the 80s. 1000 planes in sevice. Operating from many roadbases.
@@MegaGronis Swedes are generally very good English speakers, especially while singing. But back in ABBA's day was very impressive what they did. Dunno why you brought up the airforce, but yeah.. it was a gargantuan project for a small population. Sweden had the benefit of being mostly untouched by WW2 and was one of the biggest economies in the world after the war. To this day the swedish military industrial complex is the most important export sector in Sweden. It's always in the top 3 yearly income of all exports to this day. #1 several times in the past 24 years.
@@beaulieuc8910 only really nasty people who love to argu and stir things up make comments like this that are no need for. its respectles and rude. and it shows who YOU are. pathatic to say that. sad too. poor you that you need to be rude and try to make others feel bad. your mum must be so proud. if you cant say anything nice then dont say anything at all.
Hm.. 🤔 I think, Agnetha was pregnant here in 1977(full of fire of life and enthusiasm) and it is no wonder that her face, her eyes, her smile shine so magnificently here! - a little white lamb with blue, large, sparkling eyes and an innocent, angelic smile.. God, how can I describe those eyes of hers - of an intelligent, deeply thoughtful gaze(a wistful and mystically) that speaks louder than words, but keep silent about much more .. A misunderstood artistic soul, "the girl with golden hair" and a divine voice - she touched the hearts of all of us - with her looks, her priceless talent, her overall kind demeanor and her extraordinary kindness and humanity😟💋 God bless you Abba!
This song shall be played at my mum's funeral on Monday 29.04.19. It breaks my heart completely but you loved it. In memory of you my beautiful mum Valerìe Green 21.04.46 - 02.04.19
It was a traditional funeral with many old friends. My mum was a teacher who set up the music department at her school. This song seems so appropriate.
The music of ABBA is forever, there ist something in it which gets in connection with our deepest soul, mind, or what else is there, there isn't any other music with such positive empowerment. Unbeleavable!
This might be one of the sweetest, most heartfelt most catchy anthems ever created. This may be a perfect song in so many ways, and I wish everyone could hear it as many times as I have. An absolute masterpiece. Thanks ABBA for the music, now and always.
What's amazing about ABBA is that every single song that they ever recorded was either written or co-written by Andersson and Ulvaeus. That makes Benny and Bjorn one of the greatest ever songwriting teams in the history of music. And they weren't just composers; they also produced many of their recordings. And they wrote most of their lyrics in English, which is a foreign language to them. And the ladies helped with arrangments too on top of being incredible singers and performers. Such an incredible collection of talent in four people. ABBA forever.
@@beagle7622 That's true for all bands that ever existed, universal. ABBA has varied and interesting melodic pop hook songwriting talent that wasunmatched in it's constency in that era. They had fanbases in countries where the Beatles was unknown to the majority of people. Without a doubt an contender of best writers in their era, in my opinion many many times superior songwriting to than anything Beatles, Beach Boys, released. Both of these bands were influences to B&B in Abba, but Björn & Benny wrote superior songs, and It's so obvious today 40ish years later, when we have bands complete discographies availble to us at any time. Obvious when you take the time to marathon listen and compare:) t. Björn & Bennyhad the advantage of time and having these influences from USA & UK to draw influence/ideas from, and improve upon. Conjuring Swedish pop hook sorcery.
Im leaving this comment here so after a day, a week, a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this song ❤, so i can play it again and again. thank you for the music
@@delshoemaker7616 They have the songs. They have the melodies. They have the arrangemants. They have the lyrics. They have the voices. They have Frida and Agnetha, who both have "it". They have the sheer WILL to touch emotions. They have something special scandinavian. They can be both happy and sad in the same moment, which makes us want to cry. All together it´s called genius.
This is my Grandmother's favorite ABBA song. My family just had a celebration of her life and sang this song, as she recently passed away. Thank you for the music, Grandma.

My mom loved Abba...she died a day ago. Rest in peace mom❤️ Edit: Its been a year now... Thanks to all of you for your love and support ❤️ Yes i am doing mostly fine now a days and i have gotten over my moms death to some degree. I do however suffer from bi polar depression like my mom did and my mental health varies alot :( I just pray that it doesnt get a hold of me like it did with my mom... Again thanks to you all i will try to stay strong!
ABBA kinda made a sequel to this song. It's called I Let the Music Speak. It's in opera style so it's a bit more mature and the lead is Frida. They really did love music.
I'm 17, I recently discovered ABBA around a year ago and I can say, truly, this song is one of the most beautiful songs that I've heard and this band will forever be, my favourite artist
You have good taste, ABBA is one of the best bands ever. Absolutely the band with the most hit songs songs that have this timeless songwriting and production so many decades later. Unique. I'm a metalhead but i also listen to a lot of ABBA and Roxette. Quality music written by masters of the trade.
I 100%, the songwriting is definitely legendary. I love how they have a song for each significant moment of life. it's truly something beautiful.@@LyricalSteeler
Abba ist so großartig, das die Menschen sich die Lieder in 50 Jahren immer noch anhören.Sie sind für mich genauso unsterblich Wie Bach,Wagner, Beethoven!👍👍👍
Because in those days there was somthing called tallent and Bjørn and Benny had lots of it.The girls,Agnetha and Anni-Frid performed the songs with their magical voyces.
I remember my girlfriend and I were driving, and she played this song, and as the chorus played I just started sobbing. I just got this overwhelming emotion of euphoria, and the realization that we take things like music for granted, it’s such a crucial part of lives, it’s what’s brings people together, and creates so many memories. This beautiful song just got that realization right out of me, in the best way.
Yeah, definately my favorite ABBA song. So many top 10 songs of theirs though, it's hard to choose the top 3:) // Cheers from n heavy metal / hard rock fanatic.
ABBA是西方樂團最棒的團體........前無古人, 後無來者.........可惜這樣的曲風, 現今已少見 !!! I am from Asia. I think ABBA is the best music group ever. Nobody in the world can take their place.
CH David I think this is Chinese traditional? Anyways I am from HK and like this was supposed to be sung by my school at the HK school’s music festival. But it got cancelled ; - ;
ABBA has been, is and will be one of the best music bands in the world. Their music will never die. They have one of the most beautiful melodic lines in the world ..... ABBA will always remain in our souls. God bless you for your music ....
@@daveschultz66 ABBA is definately a band where it's hard to stop listening to the next masterpiece hit of theirs one after one until it turns into a marathon.
This line is one of the best lines ever written: "And I've often wondered, how did it all start? Who found out that nothing can capture a heart like a melody can? Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan."
Wow. What a great song, Agnetha deserves credit for this one. All her performances of this song are just magnificient. I mean: how easily could this sound cheesy? She makes it sound pure and honest.
They hit cheesy head on. Lyricist Björn said in a recent interview in Sweden that he didn't have any lyrics the night before A was scheduled to sing it. The idea came to him in the night and he showed her the lyrics at the breakfast table - and she really liked them.
@@amycrunch3812 Great Russian academic Dmitry Mendeleyev was see the Chemical Periodic System in dreams, when was sleep. Bjorn Ulweus was see the text of the song for all times and all peoples in the dreams too.
This song is a love letter to music. They're grateful that they get to bring so much joy to other people with their music, and we're grateful for them and all the wonderful artists that blesses us with beautiful music. I couldn't imagine life without music, I don't think I would be able to cope without it.
Now that ABBA has returned, we all have a chance to thank them for the music. The world should stop everything for a moment and sing this in gratitude to ABBA
Please note that ABBA disbanded in 1982. Since then, they never returned to the stage. There was only one take that used ABBA as a kind of AVATARS, called the "ABBAtars." 🙂
Thank You For The Music by ABBA LYRICS I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before But I have a talent, a wonderful thing 'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing I'm so grateful and proud All I want is to sing it out loud So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk She says I began to sing long before I could talk And I've often wondered, how did it all start? Who found out that nothing can capture a heart Like a melody can? Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair I wanna sing it out to everybody What a joy, what a life, what a chance Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me So I say Thank you for the music, for giving it to me
I'm 57 years old, and when I hear all the Abba's songs, I remember my best days of my life. They have make my days full of fun and happyness. I love Abba and I thank for the wonderful music.
Abba is a group of a planetary scale. There was no one else and never will be. What can I compare the sip of fresh air, sunlight, spring? We wish them health and long-life life. We remember you and love you. ABBA... greatest gift to humanity.
Thank you so much, Agnetha, Ann-Fryd, Benny and Björn, for your amazing music, resisting gloriously to the test of time, and giving us such great songs that will surely linger on as one of the best mankind has ever produced! Thank you!
I was 6 years old when I heard the song the first time. I am from Germany, so I didn’t understand anything. But I fell in love with this song when the chorus at 0:48 came on. Now I am 14 years old and every time I’m listening to this song, I’m having flashbacks to that moment, sitting in the car with my dad, being completely happy.
Спасибо, Великая АББА, за Музыку! Слушая Вас более 40 лет, плачу от счастья и восхищения! В голосе Агнеты звучать хрустальные колокольчики, а голос Фриды обволакивает и ласкает душу, как прекрасный выдержанный коньяк! Для меня Вы всегда прекрасные юные девушки, которые показали высший пилотаж вокального искусства и своей красотой покорили весь мир! Мы навсегда у ваших ног!
@@zakk44wqqf it is polyphonic music, we had a band similar to Abba in Croatia.... ruclips.net/video/_H9jjGCWe-E/видео.html ruclips.net/video/bDwqcWD3BOQ/видео.html
I moved to Norway two months ago, its becoming difficult about the language, but this gem shines on the radio often. Listening this in snowy roads make everything bit easier.
Good luck with learning the language! I'm in Montana, not Norway, but listening to ABBA, and especially this song, while driving in the snow is tough to beat.
This song makes me cry... I guess it triggers memories of those golden years when ABBA ruled and I was young and I had not yet understood that the only thing that truly matters is passionately love those whom you love and care for.... Time flies... Today, like Agnetha here, I feel gratitude. Thanks to ABBA for these gifted songs they gave us, enlightening our nights and lives.
Absolutely true, am reminded too of those days when i was a kid, i used to listen to ABBA songs though not sure what were the lyrics but i was fascinated by their golden voices!
Tomorrow I’m singing this in front of my theatre troupe as a Senior Spotlight performance, a way to thank everyone there for the love they gave me. Thank you for the music, guys!!!
@@hasanelrabih283 you talk about the 3 first movie made in the 80's? You know, you watch with your eyes of today. Normal you find it bad. But in this period, it was different and I think more magical. You live in a technologie period and you will never feel that me and à lot had felt in watching the first star wars movie in theather...
@@HarryGhall The sequel trilogy isn't the original narrative, it's the three movies that play out chronologically later. If he meant the original 3 first movies he would have said so, the Sequels are something else entirely.
I genuinely get chills when I hear this song, it’s such a beautifully composed piece. I envy being able to hear this on the radio at the height of ABBA’s fame, yet I’m thankful I can listen to it over and over without owning a vinyl. A beautiful song
@Misty Uren Sooner or later your envy will kill you... Just accept that there are people out there more beautiful, more talented and certainly more important than you....
Have you noticed how each of the four emits a high quality of "character" in their every video? No matter the song, the venue, the costumes, or anything else, each of the four performs happily and unselfishly to enhance the performance of the other three. ABBA defines not only an unequaled musical talent, ABBA has four individuals, each with a top-notch measure of character. Thank you, A.B.B.A.. and thank you for the music.
❤eyes as blue as the sea; they, just a little more - and I think: then they will almost and speak! while looking at them - I disappear in them too.. Agnetha - The girl with a golden hair: a feast for the eyes - for the soul it is paradise Those long-ago December cold nights in 1982 on the BBC, they said goodbye to us singing live for the last time - and exactly this song!
Their music is out of this world, timeless, and their voices, omg how beautiful they sound - together and as solo! 😍❤️ I've been their fan since the '70s and they're still going strong and fulfilling my heart with their healing power - the power of music. Long live ABBA! HURRA HURRA HURRA! Ett stort tack för er alla - jag älskar och saknar er alla! 💕💕💕 Skulle vara sååååå härligt om ni kom till Finland för att uppträda här, en gång till! För jag aldrig hade chansen att få se ABBA live! Det är min största dröm 🥰
Especially in this poem, "What would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music" touched my heart. Thank You For The Music of ABBA.
"THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, THE SONGS I'M SINGING, THANKS FOR ALL THE JOY THEY'RE BRINGING. WHO CAN LIVE WITHOUT IT, I ASK IN ALL HONESTY, WHAT WOULD LIFE BE WITHOUT A SONG OR A DANCE, WHAT ARE WE? SO I SAY THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC FOR GIVING IT TO ME" - music can touch your soul
This song is so fresh that it’s hard to believe that it was created about 40 years ago, and the vocals in particular are beautiful and still touch my heart. I think it’s warm music no matter what time you listen to it.
This song is formative for me…part of the soundtrack of my life as a musician…an awkward pre-teen in the 70s…I became so much more…Thank you Frida, Agnetha, Bjorn, and Benny. You are magical!
Agnetha has that rare talent of being able to look into the camera and make me feel like she`s in the room with me looking straight into my eyes personally....A rare gift indeed.
Their compositions are really something else. Such original, beautiful and absolutely addictive melodies that is like an itch you can't scratch until you hear it again.
What a beautiful music and it brought so much happiness to my life. I used to listen to this song with my grandma while she was cooking me food after school. She said the best way to learn English is by listening to ABBA. I listened to ABBA with my grandmother and we used to sing together all the time. Now every time when i think of my Grandma I listen to ABBA music and especially to this song. My god what a beautiful memories.

Hope you're doing alright. Better days to come
So sorry for your loss....
Im Trippin. So sorry. I hope ABBA songs help you as they are so timeless and ageless.
I am so sorry that you lost your mom
It's hard not to want to cry tears of joy when you hear it because it's one of the ultimate examples of gratitude, and humility put to music.
Exactly! It's so pure 🥺💖
Well said.
I agree as well. 👍
This song is my guilty pleasure
I totally agree with you!
ABBA kinda made a sequel to this song. It's called I Let the Music Speak. It's in opera style so it's a bit more mature and the lead is Frida. They really did love music.
I'm 17, I recently discovered ABBA around a year ago and I can say, truly, this song is one of the most beautiful songs that I've heard and this band will forever be, my favourite artist
You're young and there is much valuable music from past decades, that you can discover.
@@MusicJayPe oh im sure there is. but nothing sounds as unique and beautifully composed as ABBA songs... specifically this one.
You have good taste, ABBA is one of the best bands ever. Absolutely the band with the most hit songs songs that have this timeless songwriting and production so many decades later. Unique.
I'm a metalhead but i also listen to a lot of ABBA and Roxette. Quality music written by masters of the trade.
I 100%, the songwriting is definitely legendary. I love how they have a song for each significant moment of life. it's truly something beautiful.@@LyricalSteeler
@@kencrystal6763I’m mostly a classic rock fan but I discovered them about a month ago and they’re so great
Abba ist so großartig, das die Menschen sich die Lieder in 50 Jahren immer noch anhören.Sie sind für mich genauso unsterblich Wie Bach,Wagner, Beethoven!👍👍👍
Ladys and gentleman THIS IS MUSIC
Kev, you are so RIGHT on! Digging it forever!
Today's music is mostly p*** and all about money.....it really sucks bruh
OK
Here here I definitely agree the youth today have no clue when it comes to music head banging rubbish with no meaning
u r actually right btw ;)
How can one band make so many beautiful, timeless, magical songs♥️🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️♥️
Because in those days there was somthing called tallent and Bjørn and Benny had lots of it.The girls,Agnetha and Anni-Frid performed the songs with their magical voyces.
@@Proculled voices
Its just Swedish nice stufff
oh la la~
I don´t know. I just don´t know. Maybe they are not from this planet...
I remember my girlfriend and I were driving, and she played this song, and as the chorus played I just started sobbing. I just got this overwhelming emotion of euphoria, and the realization that we take things like music for granted, it’s such a crucial part of lives, it’s what’s brings people together, and creates so many memories. This beautiful song just got that realization right out of me, in the best way.
Who's the Big Man On Campus NOW?
Music is so important! I agree 100% with you
Hey,that story took a lot of nerve 👍👍👍
Thank goodness it’s not just me. There’s just something about the joy in this song that chokes me up every time I listen to it.
Poôôôooôôôoooôoôôô0o
For me, personally, this will always be Abba's finest song.
Yeah, definately my favorite ABBA song. So many top 10 songs of theirs though, it's hard to choose the top 3:) // Cheers from n heavy metal / hard rock fanatic.
ABBA是西方樂團最棒的團體........前無古人, 後無來者.........可惜這樣的曲風, 現今已少見 !!!
I am from Asia. I think ABBA is the best music group ever. Nobody in the world can take their place.
CH David
I think this is Chinese traditional? Anyways I am from HK and like this was supposed to be sung by my school at the
HK school’s music festival. But it got cancelled ; - ;
ABBA has been, is and will be one of the best music bands in the world. Their music will never die. They have one of the most beautiful melodic lines in the world ..... ABBA will always remain in our souls. God bless you for your music ....
I'm not a 24 hour a day music person, But when it comes to ABBA I could listen & watch you each and every day, You are the BEST, God Bless and Thanks
Smartly and beautifully put...5* out of 5* answer :)
@@daveschultz66 ABBA is definately a band where it's hard to stop listening to the next masterpiece hit of theirs one after one until it turns into a marathon.
Thank You God for the Music. 💙✨
This line is one of the best lines ever written:
"And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan."
Me too! I thought was just me!!!!
Agree

Wow. What a great song, Agnetha deserves credit for this one. All her performances of this song are just magnificient. I mean: how easily could this sound cheesy? She makes it sound pure and honest.
Every part on this sounds masterful from bass line up wow
@@dallasstiles118 She and Benny Andersson worked well together.
They hit cheesy head on. Lyricist Björn said in a recent interview in Sweden that he didn't have any lyrics the night before A was scheduled to sing it. The idea came to him in the night and he showed her the lyrics at the breakfast table - and she really liked them.
@@amycrunch3812 Great Russian academic Dmitry Mendeleyev was see the Chemical Periodic System in dreams, when was sleep.
Bjorn Ulweus was see the text of the song for all times and all peoples in the dreams too.
Plus she recorded this laying in a recliner cause she was pregnant with her son Peter
This song is a love letter to music. They're grateful that they get to bring so much joy to other people with their music, and we're grateful for them and all the wonderful artists that blesses us with beautiful music. I couldn't imagine life without music, I don't think I would be able to cope without it.
A graceful love letter
I thought your comment was spot on...very insightful!
@@glennandric6846 thank you
Who can live without it
so, in the quantum physics world, at the 24th dimension everythings is strings that vibrates like music... music is what everything is build of
🎵 Thank you for the music 🎶 ABBA 👏
Now that ABBA has returned, we all have a chance to thank them for the music. The world should stop everything for a moment and sing this in gratitude to ABBA

Please note that ABBA disbanded in 1982. Since then, they never returned to the stage. There was only one take that used ABBA as a kind of AVATARS, called the "ABBAtars." 🙂

LYRICS
I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
So I say
Thank you for the music, for giving it to me
Danke!!! So wunderschöner Text
Bitte schön👋🏻
Thank you for putting the lyrics here!!
@@MultiMarvelGeek you're welcome, just thought some of you might wanna sing along💙
Thank you for the music. It's everlasting!
I'm 57 years old, and when I hear all the Abba's songs, I remember my best days of my life. They have make my days full of fun and happyness. I love Abba and I thank for the wonderful music.
I have to watch this for school
Absolutely, me too.
Abba is a group of a planetary scale. There was no one else and never will be. What can I compare the sip of fresh air, sunlight, spring? We wish them health and long-life life. We remember you and love you. ABBA... greatest gift to humanity.
Thank you so much, Agnetha, Ann-Fryd, Benny and Björn, for your amazing music, resisting gloriously to the test of time, and giving us such great songs that will surely linger on as one of the best mankind has ever produced! Thank you!
You said it all and so Right ON! Simply the best Exuberant Melancholy music ever produced! And Evan, may you have a great Day!
YES, Abba thank you for the Music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was 6 years old when I heard the song the first time. I am from Germany, so I didn’t understand anything. But I fell in love with this song when the chorus at 0:48 came on. Now I am 14 years old and every time I’m listening to this song, I’m having flashbacks to that moment, sitting in the car with my dad, being completely happy.
❤️ ruclips.net/video/OPmsGk7jlVw/видео.html 🥭 ❤️ ruclips.net/video/OPmsGk7jlVw/видео.html 🥭
heartwarming
I’m guessing the song’s lyrics was the first/only english you know
Have you seen the movie ABBA made? I don't mean Mammamia but the one with a lot of their concert footage, it's great
Спасибо, Великая АББА, за Музыку! Слушая Вас более 40 лет, плачу от счастья и восхищения! В голосе Агнеты звучать хрустальные колокольчики, а голос Фриды обволакивает и ласкает душу, как прекрасный выдержанный коньяк! Для меня Вы всегда прекрасные юные девушки, которые показали высший пилотаж вокального искусства и своей красотой покорили весь мир! Мы навсегда у ваших ног!
Тоже выражаю
Ю.
Ююю,юю
ABBA несравненная
С юных лет..
С 70-х....
Я с вами навек ,, АББА,,

some times I feel like ABBA is from another planet
Are they human?!
@@Anna-yp3bb HAHAHA, FOR SURE THEY ARE HUMAN. BUT WHEN YOU ADMIRE SOMEONE YOU FEEL LIKE HE OR SHE IS FROM HEAVEN
Zakariya Ezeldeen true...... their songs are really pure magic. I also love queen but for me abba is. Just something else. Pure magic
watch Daft Punk videos to see
@@zakk44wqqf it is polyphonic music, we had a band similar to Abba in Croatia....

Abba reminds me of my dear late dad . Thankyou
I moved to Norway two months ago, its becoming difficult about the language, but this gem shines on the radio often. Listening this in snowy roads make everything bit easier.
Good luck with learning the language! I'm in Montana, not Norway, but listening to ABBA, and especially this song, while driving in the snow is tough to beat.
Lucky
New Norwegian learner here (Native English, Intermediate+ Dutch) and it's hard. Best of luck for you.
Meu sonho é morar em um país escandinavo, sou pobre e moro no Brasil, sem espectativa nenhuma, mas essa música do ABBA me faz viajar no pensamento...
The scene of ABBA playing in Norway snowy roads just feels so right...:)
This song makes me cry... I guess it triggers memories of those golden years when ABBA ruled and I was young and I had not yet understood that the only thing that truly matters is passionately love those whom you love and care for.... Time flies... Today, like Agnetha here, I feel gratitude. Thanks to ABBA for these gifted songs they gave us, enlightening our nights and lives.
Absolutely true, am reminded too of those days when i was a kid, i used to listen to ABBA songs though not sure what were the lyrics but i was fascinated by their golden voices!
Same here, sweet memories of my youth
Great composers....great singers....ABBA...
Tomorrow I’m singing this in front of my theatre troupe as a Senior Spotlight performance, a way to thank everyone there for the love they gave me. Thank you for the music, guys!!!
How did it go
Как прошло выступление?
One of Abba's most endearing songs. Agnetha's lead vocal is terrific!
WE Should Be Thanking YOU ABBA.
We are tho 💙

Cgamer2014 so true
1977 : 11 years old, star wars, ABBA.
2021 : 54 years old, star wars, ABBA.
Same !! 👌💕
Sounds good to me!
2021: 15 years old, Star Wars (not the sequel trilogy, god no), ABBA.
@@hasanelrabih283 you talk about the 3 first movie made in the 80's? You know, you watch with your eyes of today. Normal you find it bad. But in this period, it was different and I think more magical. You live in a technologie period and you will never feel that me and à lot had felt in watching the first star wars movie in theather...
@@HarryGhall The sequel trilogy isn't the original narrative, it's the three movies that play out chronologically later. If he meant the original 3 first movies he would have said so, the Sequels are something else entirely.
Agnetha is the queen of pop. Eternal talent and class. Thank you for the music. Hugs from Malmö 😊🇸🇪❤️
Hugs from méxico 🇲🇽 agnetha 💕
Greetings from Holland. ABBA is eternal
I genuinely get chills when I hear this song, it’s such a beautifully composed piece. I envy being able to hear this on the radio at the height of ABBA’s fame, yet I’m thankful I can listen to it over and over without owning a vinyl. A beautiful song
Эта группа ,до настоящего времени делает меня счастливой, мне 56. Дай бог им здоровья.
ABBA makes the whole world a better place to live. ❤️❤️❤️
Still listening. 👍
@@henryhunter1773 so am I and will continue
AMEN!!!
You are sooooo right.......
This song is probably my favorite ABBA song of all time. Very sentimental and grateful. Not many songs like this anymore...
AGNETHA WHAT A MAGNIFICENT VOICE HER BEAUTIFUL FACE MIRRORS HER SENSITIVE SOULSHE FEELS EVERY WORD OF THE SONG!!!!
"What a joy" "What a life" "What a chance" WHAT A VOICE

@Misty Uren Sooner or later your envy will kill you... Just accept that there are people out there more beautiful, more talented and certainly more important than you....
@@Blueridge1961 four letters for you: what. what are u even talking about-
@@fartnugget9664 Sorry Affixio, not interested in conversation with children. Drop me a note when you've grown up....
@@Blueridge1961 They weren't even talking about what you replied them with but okay I guess..?
Thank you ABBA for the joy you gave us all !
Have you noticed how each of the four emits a high quality of "character" in their every video? No matter the song, the venue, the costumes, or anything else, each of the four performs happily and unselfishly to enhance the performance of the other three. ABBA defines not only an unequaled musical talent, ABBA has four individuals, each with a top-notch measure of character. Thank you, A.B.B.A.. and thank you for the music.
Janett,,Thank you for your 'Right On' Comment! You are extremely Correct! The Best Exuberant Melancholy music ever produced!
ABBA FOREVER!🌞
To all you ABBA fans out there,

You can do it
Hey Janett.I start the fight for the best music group in 20 th century.i count on you.
❤eyes as blue as the sea;
they, just a little more - and I think: then they will almost and speak!
while looking at them - I disappear in them too..
Agnetha - The girl with a golden hair:
a feast for the eyes - for the soul it is paradise
Those long-ago December cold nights in 1982 on the BBC, they said goodbye to us singing live for the last time - and exactly this song!
Their music is out of this world, timeless, and their voices, omg how beautiful they sound - together and as solo! 😍❤️ I've been their fan since the '70s and they're still going strong and fulfilling my heart with their healing power - the power of music. Long live ABBA! HURRA HURRA HURRA! Ett stort tack för er alla - jag älskar och saknar er alla! 💕💕💕 Skulle vara sååååå härligt om ni kom till Finland för att uppträda här, en gång till! För jag aldrig hade chansen att få se ABBA live! Det är min största dröm 🥰
Especially in this poem, "What would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music" touched my heart. Thank You For The Music of ABBA.

Her voice is so sweet!!! What a dream!!!
voice? hmm.. what about looks?
She looks great. But why should looks matter?
Dhanhyaa Mahen this the way the world is, looks do matter
It doesn't but in this instance we have a beautiful song a beautiful voice and a beautiful lady.
:'(
This song is so fresh that it’s hard to believe that it was created about 40 years ago, and the vocals in particular are beautiful and still touch my heart. I think it’s warm music no matter what time you listen to it.
We thank you for your music. Even after 40 years ABBA songs are making us happy.
One word, beautiful.
Thank you, Abba, for your wonderful, uplifting music.
Agnetha has a golden voice which never fade for ever
Nobody can dislike Abba, as it's an exceptionnal band !!! it's difficult to choose the song to play, because they have a lot great songs !
This song is formative for me…part of the soundtrack of my life as a musician…an awkward pre-teen in the 70s…I became so much more…Thank you Frida, Agnetha, Bjorn, and Benny. You are magical!
Who can live without ABBA? They are just part of us.
one of my favorites. Im 19 and I will continue to share this music with generations to come. Thank you ABBA.
Agnetha has that rare talent of being able to look into the camera and make me feel like she`s in the room with me looking straight into my eyes personally....A rare gift indeed.
Thank you for the music ABBA! You have made the greatest contribution to music. Thank you
I had Swedish neighbors who played death metal loud every time they stopped I would blast this out
I would like to live in your building, because I like both
Agreed your building seems to be the one to be in.
Metal bands in general have a great fondness for ABBA, there are plenty of great covers.
“ALL I WANT IS TO SING IT OUT LOUD”
LoL,!!!!!!! OMGosh, too funny!!
Yes ABBA thank you for the music, will be played for a long time to come. Agnetha was the girl with golden hair and what a voice.

Their compositions are really something else. Such original, beautiful and absolutely addictive melodies that is like an itch you can't scratch until you hear it again.
😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏
Tears in my eyes! What was the music! What music! What voices!
What a beautiful music and it brought so much happiness to my life. I used to listen to this song with my grandma while she was cooking me food after school. She said the best way to learn English is by listening to ABBA. I listened to ABBA with my grandmother and we used to sing together all the time. Now every time when i think of my Grandma I listen to ABBA music and especially to this song. My god what a beautiful memories.
+Mr.Logic23 wow what a wonderful memory. this music makes me happy too.
great comment!
thank you
😢👍
Wonderful..
“Whoever it was” that gave her that beautiful voice was God.
The young blonde girl sitting in the front row singing along and smiling at 2:17 has since become a member of a Swedish ABBA tribute band called Waterloo.
She has such a wonderful smile
Woow, thats wonderful
she forgot the lyrics
She looks just like agnetha
