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

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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.

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!
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
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 grandad 80th was a few days ago and on Sunday my mother and sister sang it for a crowd of 40 during a long celebration of his life through music poetry etc. Kinda cool others thought of this
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.
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.
Hm.. 🤔 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!
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 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."
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.
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
I love this song. Agnatha is so pretty and what a singing voice. No falsetto. Just pure clear voice. The little girl sitting in the audience is so happy to be there singing along it brings a tear to my eye.
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.
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 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.
@@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
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 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.
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." 🙂
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
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.
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!
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.
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!👍👍👍
@@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.
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.
Close. ABBA is certainly one of the best of Humanity's contributions to the world, much like ET regarded the M&M as Humanity's greatest contribution to the Universe :)
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!
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!
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.
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.
I cannot describe how beautiful this song is. Since the times of my childhood, ABBA have always comforted me and made me smile... thank you so much for this brilliant music!
My grandmother was a huge fan and that has been passed down to my dad and then to me. I honestly tear up when i hear this song because i feel like i actually knew her. (she lived across the USA from me so i never got to know her before she passed due partially to my mother not wanting my father to take me out of state, let alone the east coast.)
I loved ABBA from the first time I heard them. My one regret is that when they came to USA that l didn't go to the concert. Noone knew that they would never come back.
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.
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 ; - ;
@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....
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!!!
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.
Praise God above the heavens for the existence of Abba! this is yet another amongst thousands of Abba's magical songs! ❤️🌹👏🏻✊🏻😇❤️💜💙💚 God bless the four Legends of Abba forever!❤️💜👏🏻 I love the band so much!❤️💜👏🏻
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.
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.
"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
I listen to ABBA's music when I need to be reminded of my childhood. Their music nearly brings tears to my eyes each time I listen because there's a sentimental value to their music that even THEY can't understand. Thank you for the music ABBA!
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 🥰
ABBA's music is true music! Their genre is the combination of pop, rock and classical music! The instrumentation is the best that I have ever heard. Their voices are like that of angels! They have class and yet they appeal even to the young generation. The decade of the 1970's really brought out the best musicians from around the world. ABBA's music is the best. 💖

God bless you Abba!
I'm 18 years old and ABBA's songs helped me overcome depression. I am so grateful for that! thanks for the music
Bless you
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!
I live with depression and PTSD, and can relate to what good music can do for you. Please stay strong and know you are loved and cared for.
@@deweysmith4486 really appreciate the comment! I wish you the same thing! peace love and good music
@@christopherreichelt3303 I feel that way! it's a steady feeling of hope and love! I love to love ABBA
No ABBA! Thank YOU for the music! All of your songs are so timeless, and magical!
Thanks to you Agnetha and thanks the Group ABBA 🤩
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

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
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
I love this song. Agnatha is so pretty and what a singing voice. No falsetto. Just pure clear voice.
The little girl sitting in the audience is so happy to be there singing along it brings a tear to my eye.
That little girl with the blond hair is now the lead singer with ABBA tribute band.
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.
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
Danke!!! So wunderschöner Text
Bitte schön👋🏻
Thank you for putting the lyrics here!!

Abba forever
Thank you for the music ABBA! You have made the greatest contribution to music. Thank you
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
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 ;)
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....

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 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.
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
flower lili Anni and blondie Ane flowers in the garden !
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." 🙂
This song is probably my favorite ABBA song of all time. Very sentimental and grateful. Not many songs like this anymore...
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
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
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...
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.
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!👍👍👍
We thank you for your music. Even after 40 years ABBA songs are making us happy.
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.
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
ABBA is the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to humanity
Close. ABBA is certainly one of the best of Humanity's contributions to the world, much like ET regarded the M&M as Humanity's greatest contribution to the Universe :)
yes,you are right there, it is etheral
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!
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

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
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.
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.
😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏
I cannot describe how beautiful this song is. Since the times of my childhood, ABBA have always comforted me and made me smile... thank you so much for this brilliant music!
Likewise...their music is timeless and I am glad I can hear them Live in Avatars whatever :)
My grandmother was a huge fan and that has been passed down to my dad and then to me. I honestly tear up when i hear this song because i feel like i actually knew her. (she lived across the USA from me so i never got to know her before she passed due partially to my mother not wanting my father to take me out of state, let alone the east coast.)
ABBAabba
I loved ABBA from the first time I heard them. My one regret is that when they came to USA that l didn't go to the concert. Noone knew that they would never come back.
I Love ABBA So Much and The Song I can sing it just like Agnetha, I am lucky I can sing have sung since I was 4 😍❤️
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...:)
🎵 Thank you for the music 🎶 ABBA 👏
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.

I think this is Chinese traditional? Anyways I am from HK and like this was supposed to be sung by my school at the

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!!
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.

Isnt this really a big Thank You for/to Life for all It's music, joys, challenges, etc.? Thank You, ABBA for this Big Thanks for and to Life!
Her voice is amazing, she is a very talented artist and this song is more complicated to sing than what we are suppose to expect from a pop song.
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.

Cgamer2014 so true
Back when pop songs make sense and inspire people. Such a classic ❤ I'm 26 and old soul proud of it.
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.

I am teaching middle school and high school music students in north central Alabama who are asking for more ABBA … fascinating!! 🎶☀️
I listen to ABBA's music when I need to be reminded of my childhood. Their music nearly brings tears to my eyes each time I listen because there's a sentimental value to their music that even THEY can't understand. Thank you for the music ABBA!
У меня точно такие же ощущения!
I have exactly the same feeling!
Me too. Back to the 70er.
ralf karius Well I was born in the mid 90s, but still nostalgic nonetheless, for different reasons.
I have exactly the same feeling! :)
im like u theo, its very touching music that brings me to my childhood
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 🥰
Life without music is life without love.
Music, the language of the world!
true
Agree. Music is the most tressure of humankind.
the sword into heart
La Musique Est la Vie
This song is music to my ears
ABBA's music is true music! Their genre is the combination of pop, rock and classical music! The instrumentation is the best that I have ever heard. Their voices are like that of angels! They have class and yet they appeal even to the young generation. The decade of the 1970's really brought out the best musicians from around the world. ABBA's music is the best. 💖
