      I'd consider myself an ABBA fan, but I don't think I'm familiar with this one either😶 I kept seeing comments about this one, but I'll admit, for me I like to watch songs I'm more familiar with in general, so I didn't think I cared. I'm glad I watched/listened to it. Thank you for expanding my ABBA horizons.

      It's wonderful song, especially "live at Wembley 1979" version. But it's not a pop song, its progressive rock/art rock.

    There's no shame to listen ABBA. In the eighties, they disappears because New Wave and a Impressive Pop Culture was stronger but in the 90's, they become legend with all seventies famous group and all CD compilation like "ABBA gold"
    This music is the best for the dark side

    Hey man- you say you didn't want this to end. Well, you really should have watched the full-length version which is truly even more powerful than this severely edited one and has some soaring, stunning, instrumentation to die for. In fact, it was the longest song that ABBA ever recorded. I promise you- you won't be disappointed! Here's a link to it: ruclips.net/video/ikUAAI9QIg8/видео.html

    Hi I grew up with Abba. In my teens my room was completly decorated with Abba Posters. And even when my taste changed 1000 times, Abba is my all time favourite. Today I prefer, Irish folk punk, blues, symphonic metal, Celtic folk, rock and Hardrock of the 60-80.
    But Abba is always on my mind as one of the greatest band ever.
    But I have 2 suggestions for you:
    Cranberrys: Zombie
    Larkin Poe: Preaching Blues.
    You will love it. Keep going, I like your passion for music.

    Good on you! 😃☮👍
    I've been an ABBA fan since 1976, and there's a lot of therapeutic quality that can be got from an ABBA song, when you're an ABBA fan: various harmonies to hear and sing along to, rich melodies, genuine joy and other emotions to experience had hear.
    You're on to a good thing having discovered ABBA 😃👍...from my experience, they've helped me get through bad times (including bouts of reactive-depression) and celebrate and enjoy good times 🌼🙏😊
    Something else I'd recommend that could help alleviate your depression (as it does for me) is look out for a good and friendly community choir. I've been a member of one since 1992, and while there were times when I wasn't able to be a part of the choir, the strength of the friendships have always been there, plus the holistic qualities of singing are great for everyones' health.
    Best wishes from Australia 😊

    Great reaction James as per usual😊 I think you would dearly love Agnetha Faltskog singing 'When you really love someone'. Her voice has become even better over the years I think. In this song it is just so smooth and almost gravelly at times in lower notes. Cool video to song too. Not sure if it is insight into what went wrong between her in Bjorn. Cheers James.

There are also longer versions of Summer Night City (4m18s), Gimme Gimme Gimme (4m49s), and Voulez-Vous (5m11s). Pick those instead of the abridged music videos.

    Or James Taylor "Fire and Rain" or "You've got a Friend". Or Carole King has a version or "You've got a Friend" (she wrote it). Or Carole King's "It's too late". All of these songs were big hits in the late 1960s and early 1970s. James Taylor and Carole King were GIANTS in the music world for those of us who were teenagers in the late 60s and early 70s.

    same here. Probably my number 2, The Beatles, (just about), number 1. I find it so hard to chose a favourite, this would be a contender but you need to listen to the long version. The base solo at the end is INCREDIBLE. You have amazing taste Sir.

    The first Abba single i bought as a kid was Waterloo . You're right, they are a great group. Have you heard the song that Frida released as a solo? It's called, " I know there's something going on."

    I always check your channel for new videos, and it makes my day, I feel like I'm there listening to these songs I love for the first time, and that we're sharing in something that lifts us up together.
    I have a few requests, since the 80's were so incredible. Just the start.
    Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over
    The Smiths - How Soon is Now?
    XO you are amazing.

    For a person who is so keen on catching up on the great bands of the 80's...l find it bewildering why you haven't got around to "who rolling stone magazine, dubbed da greatest band of 80's" which is hard to refute n that band of course is U2, with songs like "Bloody Sunday, New Years day, Bad, Still haven't found what lm looking for...Where the Streets have no name, Pride ( in the name of love )" and so many more that it wud take me ages to write this txt...thanx bud, keep the videos rollin, big fan!

    My favourite ABBA song!
    If you’re wanting more info about the band, check out the books “Bright Lights, Dark Shadows” and “The Complete Recording Sessions”. The latter is currently only available as an e-book but both are essential reading for ABBA fans.
    Keep a look out for the new songs due later this year
