When I was 15 years old I typed out the lyrics for my father. He loved this song so much he rewrote it for the Highland Bagpipes. When he passed in 2013 my mother had his wallet and pulled out the piece of paper with the lyrics that I had typed out for him. For 20+years he keeped that in his wallet. So when I hear this song I sit and cry for my dad...
This was a song played at my Mums funeral last month. She sadly passed away from Covid. There wasn't a dry eye in the place when they played this & showed lovely photos of Mum. xxx
How nostalgic it is to see these 2 girls Anna Frida and Agnetha more than 40 years ago. Knowing that those times will never return and what remains are memories of those good times when they were part of Abba
@@brianvaughan2312 No Brian they were so good that they could never make a bad song,I'm still listening on 3rd December 2024 and I'm now 79 same as the fabulous Frida, she was georgeous.
Their music is eternal and both girls voices are angelic in their own individual ways - together they are the very best female duo bar none! Perfection!
🤗 love from Nigeria. I love all of Abba's songs. Can't stop listening to them. My Aunt made me love the group cause she always played it back when I was a little girl. I'm in my 30s
@@idarauffort Congratulations, you are so young and love Abba this is a proof that they have been able to gather fans through many generations and also many countries, they make world to be better
Absolutely!!!! When the ABBA avatar tour finally begins, this sing must be the encore, the final word, with it a message of hope for world peace. I could be dreaming but I think this song and ABBA can actually bring about world peace. They can do what no world leader can do..Bring people of all colour, class and religion together.

How stunning, just magnificent, just beautiful, oh god these beautiful people were so special your voices were beyond special for us British, we love you dearly, god bless you all, 💞💞❤️
I love the way this song just builds and builds. I can imagine sitting in the concert hall and being in raptures. Two angels singing in harmony. Just great!
You're right about the build. That coming-in on "Times of Joy" is just wonderful; it has the same feel as the four notes in "I could have danced all night" from My Fair Lady: one just wants to punch the air.
Why? more than in the past? People these days have Face-book friends and they can be unfriended with no explanation given . Easy? undemanding? no effort or discomfort in the making and no effort or discomfort in the un-making? That is modern society.
Not everyone is filled with anger and I personally know no-one I want to kill. This song is about friendship on a personal level. I am guessing "words of violence" could be translated as "angry words). It is a horrid world, no question but it would be nice to think you could keep friends till old age and you might bring one another comfort.
The leaders of nations and people in authority should hear this song and consider that God almighty will one day judge all people. Those who loved there neighbor as they love themselves will receive favor in His sight. Nobody is exempt from this truth. This song is beautiful and ABBA's talent so amazing and pure.
We played this song at our wedding reception in June 1985. We gathered all of our friends and family in a circle around us as we prepared to leave on our honeymoon. Still married in 2019 and this song has such a special meaning for us, as do many of the ABBA songs. Still surrounded by many good friends. We can face life together, the way old friends do!
A sad update. My wife passed away this year from esophageal cancer, one day short of our 37th anniversary. In my grief, I am surrounded by many good friends who have been there with us through the times of joy and times of sorrow. This song now takes on new meaning for me.
Another brilliant ABBA track that rarely gets heard. Loved it from the first time I heard it. One of my top 3 along with SOS and The day before you came.
Wunderbar !!! Lang lebe ABBA musik in der welt !!! Ich liebe ABBA von herz für alle ewigkeit !!! El único grupo pop más angelical de nivel mundial que realizo la múica pop más sublime , divina y de belleza suprema y celestial de todos los tiempos .
Why Jack? Do you still have those friends? I so don't. Most of my old friends are dead but one or two previous ones have proved so false. Have you ever experienced listening to a friend you loved, seriously loved for 16 years, slagging you off on a left-on phone? I have tried, tried to get over it. I am still trying.
...It's the only band I have never heard of being involved with drugs... I have always been fascinated by its members GENUINENESS and MODESTY - especially the girls...
They were two old married couples when they started (not exactly but they were mature with children), I saw something recently: Carole King and James Taylor talking about the pitfalls of fame and life on the road. The difference between them was Carole had children at 18; James struggled with drugs and loneliness. Being a parent means getting up at 6am at the latest. That kind of precludes a druggy life-style. Agnetha was a hands-on parent. Frida, I am not so sure but she was sensible. You are right though, they were genuine and modest. Anyone who worked with them would vouch for that. They were also kind and low key.
+Spider21056 One of the reasons why they've always refused to do comeback tours and biographical movies etc. I assumed that it was because they wanted their music to remain pure and it will This is timeless music No need for reboots Thanks abba and thanks yutube
I also think they are old and knackered. They will all have dodgy knees and backs by now so leaping about on stage will not be a serious proposition. Seriously, they have held out for a long, long time. They all moved on from the original two couple friendships. All four are seriously pragmatic individuals who could not possibly envisage themselves in an O2 stadium.
I love this song so so much! And it was so near the end for Abba as a group in a way this song is tinged with sadness and emotion. Even my father, who wasn't really an Abba fan, could appreciate the beauty of the words and music in this song...D.B.Jones R.I.P.......buttons....
ABBA are adored so much now, it's a shame they were not appreciated so much in their own time! Abba's tour of Australia in the late 70s was the most epic pop tour that will ever exist in history.
A.B.B.A., four magnificent people. Performing world wide as ABBA, including tours behind the Iron Curtain, these four people did more for world peace than any idiot politician ever did. As ABBA, they were and are so much more than the greatest band in history, each of these four showed the world what Happy and Love was all about...via their music and presence.
I actually teared up while listening to this. Such a wonderful song I justa cant believe its almost like 5 decades since abba was created wish i was born in those abba year I miss abba
This song brings back a memory both happy and sad.....happy with the long Summer I spent with Wendy which seemed to last forever and sad when it ended so suddenly.....all those years ago and I still think of her.... but what a memory.
Agnetha's voice just soars... gives me chills... this song is so uplifting. II cannot believe this song is so unknown. It could be the new national anthem in theUS

International anthem

Perfect- agree!
Not one negative comment about this song or Abba for that matter. One of the best groups hands down. Ever.

This song is not only extraordinary it’s the biggest tearjerker ever.
Brings me to tears, this one..I don't know why.....Thank you ABBA ❤❤❤
Feel the same way❤️😭
Even me too, that is the power in Abba's songs, always captivating.
I don't know why ...
Same

The power and majesty of Abba's catalogue of songs never ceases to amaze. Genius song writing allied to the girls golden voices will live forever

It reminds me of " we can work it out" by the beatles. It is a band singing about reconciliation, before both bands disbanded forever

What a brillant song love all of abbas music best group of all times have listened to their music for so many years
If I had to listen to one song just before I pass away, it should definately be this one. No doubt about that.
How about "Like an angel passing through my room"?
Taht brought a tear to my eye !!!

Just imagine if a tune of this quality had been in Eurovision last weekend!
Such a powerful song especially now❤
She has just taken that song up a notch wonderful

They outsaled Volvo in some years, don't think they were not appreciated
The Seekers, a decade or two earlier, had a similar tour (and several others since, until 2014!). Very different groups, but similarly loved.
ABBA are only behind The Beatles in terms of record sales,but well ahead of all other groups.
