Love to see how the way he speaks, very optimistic. It's rarely for us to see someone his age in good shape, may he be in good health and prosperous always.
Stumbled across this. I am just so impressed with the standard of interviewing -both interviewer and interviewee. Real intelligence, emotional and intellectual, so evident to the viewer. There is no equivalent in UK media, tv etc. Such a refreshing change and humbling to see such honesty without ego. Actually inspires me to learn Swedish language to understand without sub-titles.

I wrote lyrics for an ABBA song. I have the melodies they can use, or they can create their own. This song can close all of their shows and give a sendoff to all of their fans. I'd love a chance to share it with ABBA.
Great to hear that Bjoern is an atheist. So refreshing. If only everyone took responsibility for their own lives, we'd be in a better place. Personally, I'm an agnostic.
Im 20 plus 7🤮 im happy they're still alive. I'm happy that they were part of my childhood. My mom's husband forced us to watch anything he likes but liking ABBA was the only good thing he did.
You are right in many ways, the world is changing faster and faster, we moved so quickly from one thing to the next, sure can't even remember what they are for breakfast. Then we will all be is some graveyard with people sitting on gravestones drinking their lunchtime coffee, perhaps a glimpse at a headstone or two that's it. However, we have a life, we can decide to enjoy it or not, we don't have to be famous to do that. To be honest it's a way of thinking, I, however, don't like him very much, I grew up with them, "Fernando", was something I loved to listen to is was and is so true of our time. I feel he is self opinionated, I watched three interviews with different band members, I didn't feel for them today as I felt in the past. They are extremely arrogant, the interviews made me uncomfortable because I realise we have changed, we are enlightened.
I see your point, but I also understand that creating music in a band is a creative process that requires a certain state of mind, dynamic and cooperation. If that is no longer there, the band as such serves no purpose. Sure they leave fans behind, but putting out music for the sake of it doesn’t do the fans justice as well. My impression is that the group reached the end of their combined creativity in 1981 and therefore the end of ABBA. The guys were already working on Chess, Agnetha suffered from touring and needed time off. They had ten years in making great music, more than many other band did. Their songs sound simple and catchy, but were also complex and melancholic. I think that is the attractive recipe for ABBA songs.
You’re on to something but ABBA can’t be a band that let you down? They are surely savy making money but it always is out of their catalogue. Never any promos!
@@jeanpierreviergever1417 Hear, hear! You cannot force people to create! It is a process and, although most of us have it in one form or the other, we do not have it in a form that turns 10,000,000 people to madness by signing. Personally, I publish scientific papers, as many as ABBA published songs, but the aftermath is for myself, that a few of my papers will live on after I am personally gone, but I would NOT like to be interview in television like this.
You say (English subtitles) where are they??? It would be great to understand this, and unfortunately I don't understand Swedish. Didn't understand anything except for "he suffers from a serious memory loss" and Mick Jagger
I don't speak Swedish either. I think the only thing he is saying, basically, is that no matter how happy he was, that people liked his music, and loved his work with ABBA that none of it really matters because he didn't like it. And that he could care less about getting back together, because at the end of the day, they got their fame and fortune. Why should we do something the fans want? We don't need their money anymore. We're set for life.
Knäppt... Har heller ingen väckarklocka tack vare att jag skriver och spelar musik (och utan att vara med/varit med i abba).... Jag har nog passerat "min kreativa höjdpunkt" men tycker själv att jag är mer kreativ än nånsin.... dvs. Ingenting vad denna underbara människa säger stämmer för mig. Så stor kram, han är bland de klokaste jag hört... men han har också fel... och de klokaste människor är även de som är öppna för att ha fel =).
Så är det. Vi är alla individer. Han jobbade stenhårt mellan 25 och 35 och kanske kramade ur det bäst då men lyssna till texten i "Sommaren du fick" med BAO och du hör en livsvisdom från en 65-årig man, lika fantastisk som i den unge mannens "One man, one woman" från 1976.
The Host is speaking in Norwegian and Björn is speaking Swedish. I'm Swedish, and without the subs I wouldn't understand everything the host is saying xD
9/11 had nothing to do with Islamists. Look at Dr. Judy Wood's fantastic research on the topic as well as sites such as "Rich Planet", Check The Evidence" and "Red Pill 78" and learn about fabricated terror and the truth about Covid 19 and many other inter-related subjects. Dr. Sam Bailey is superb on the latter point. Regarding Atheism Bjoern makes some welcome comments on this subject and Richard Dawkins is someone I admire immensely. Very good to hear.
I would say that getting married in a church is more tradition than religious nowadays. I myself know a couple of people who werent religious but still had their wedding in a church.

ABBA is a gift from the God. Thank you for the Music and Memories you gave us.
Björn is quite sure that there is no god.

I’m also based in the UK and have to agree. I’ve just signed up to this channel.
Ulvaeus, yes. Skavlan, no.
@@amycrunch3812 Why so regarding Skavlan? I think he is very good with an easy rapport with his interviewees.
ABBA is back and better than ever. “Thank you for the music”🙏
Björn, also Benny, have values I totally agree with.
Love how they express their views.
Yeah :) Filthy rich leftist people, just like the ruling political class in Sweden.
(I agree with him on his atheism though.)
Enlightening interview. Reflects more of the man than ‘Bjorn of ABBA’ so refreshing and honest😎👌
Молодцы, сами сочиняли, сами пели.Добились такого успеха во всем мире. Группа номер 1 в мире.Очень люблю группу АВВА.
Bjorn is the oldest member of ABBA, yet he’s aged well and can pass for a 55 year-old man.
he is only 7 months older than frida
@@TheConorsmithusa He’s aged well, better than the rest.

Ni hade lite kreativitet kvar i er må jag säga.
'Herregud, religion är på väg in igen!' Tack för det, Björn! 😎

Did he invite you to live with him then?
And you dont mind the idea of ending up in hell DO YOU ?
Thanks for sharing.
Det är Gud som har lagt ner denna längtan i oss människor, Björn!
Gå lägg dig.

Bands come and go. The epic ones will be the ones remembered for thousands of years. A majority of us will be forgotten soon after were gone. People who make their mark, good or bad, live on. Unfortunately, in groups, like the Beatles, Led Zepplin, ABBA etc, it takes the entire group to make the success work. The Bands I mentioned above, as great as they were, take one ingredient out, then the recipe falls apart. Can't substitute a new ingredient for a missing one. To me, it seems selfish to turn the world on to something, then, because of personal rift and arguments or what ever break bands apart....take the entire thing and throw it in the trash. John Lennon, Paul McCartney and many others go on to do great solo things but none ever matches what got them there in the first place. "The band". And no matter how many people loved and addord them. Bought the records that made them rich, or payed to see them live....are the victims. With ABBA....what possibly in the world, could have happend to make them say..."Fμ©K what the fans want. We don't want to do this anymore. None of us really like each other anyway, so we're just gonna quit. Fans will get over it, eventually. And they did. How ever history sees it. Ultimately, Nobody likes a quitter. Especially when they are quitting on tens of thousands of fans. If that's their leagacy, so be it. Works out better for me. AC/DC and Judas Priest were my bands growing up and I can't even begin to tell you the looks I got, as we discussed bands, when I woumd say.."what about ABBA"? They rock! Total silence, just staring at me, can hear crickets chirping....then sombody would say, how about Van Halen or Alice Cooper!! Hell yeah!! Motor Head!!!
Never gave up on them as they did me but I still cant figure out why I liked them so much in the first place. Why did any of us? Why do we still? In a thousand years, will people cook with thr same recipe?
