Unless they’re ABBA fans. I clearly remember getting ABBA the Album in 78 and pretty much the whole class (except some boys) knew it off by heart within a week. We loved Eagle. I sang it 30 years later to my babies “flying” them up on top of my feet (lying on bed of course) so they knew it off by heart too lol
This is one of my favorite songs…part of the soundtrack of my life…exquisitely beautiful…I’m a musician and singer…will be 59 next month…thank you ABBA for the beauty and joy you have brought to me
@@geoffsaunders8215 underrated adjective "not rated or valued highly enough." That's what it said when I looked it up, and thats exactly what I mean......your point????
Ещё заканчивал школу, в 79 году брат из Швеции привёз виниловую пластинку. С тех пор, с огромным удовольствием до сих пор слушаю их песни! Политики воюют, а простые люди все равно любят и ценят друг друга.
Nothing to be ashamed of. This song's arrangement is heavily influenced by Pink Floyd and Simon&Garfunkel. Also it easily can be re-arranged as a heavy metal song
0% foul words 0% cursing 0% calls to kill somebody 0% nudity 0% bragging 100% beautiful music, awesome singing, and pure talent. Love you ABBA! 🔥🔥🔥❤️️❤️️❤️️
I picked this song for my dear mums funeral as this is how I feel my mum now flys over my family looking out for us. God bless you mum , love and miss you 🌹🌹🌹🌹😘😘😘😘
I love everything about this song. the music, the melodies, the lyrics and the voices. the small details like the sounds that actually capture the meaning of flying. I feel like it's one of their underrated songs. Eagle is truly art and one of my fave abba songs ❤️ AND THEY'RE FINALLY BACK !!
They have that typical 70's pitch some singers used at that time that produces the sensation that it feels like to be high in the sky. A totally different group used that pitch they have in a total different genre and all of music BUT with that distinction of pitch.(I think it was Kool and the gang in one of their 70s songs.Nice music and I've memories of my toddler years of the 70s I'm a 70s born man.
Incredible how they were able to musically illustrate that feeling of flying. Vocals, exact synth riff, economic guitar, multiple sonic overlays - all convey feeling of soaring high up in the sky, of dizzy heights and sublime majesty quite brilliantly. That ABBA album was surely their pinnacle.
I agree with the sentiment, but realistically the album can only have so many singles. This would have had to compete with Take a Chance on Me and The Name of the Game which were both great radio fodder.
@@Battlady57 Thanks Sue, she listens out on radio foe ABBA and plays them on Alexa , this new concert looks tempting , but no doubt expensive, although on the other hand an experience she will always remember and a one -off opportunity
Thats great martin.i hope you go.i have listened many times lately to 'the day before you came'.ruby wont understand the sentiments in it of course but it is a piece of musical genius.
This is just one of many great songs from ABBA, the list is endless, their music lives so brightly to this very day and for generations to come. Thak you ABBA. Oct 2021 🙏❤🔥🔥🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@brucekilby9957 Not like the BEATLES. ABBA is another group, another style. But same and maybe more populare in the World. I am like listening Beatles and ABBA now..
I feel like all the negative energy in my body and mind dissapear everytime I listen to ABBA music . This is incredible , absolute magic . ABBA's a incredible , extraordinary , fabulous and very special pop group in the world forever .
THE ALBUM (in my opinion) was one of ABBAs best ones. This album was a gift to me by my older sister Petra (1959- 2001)in february '78, the month my beloved father took me to the movies to watch ABBA -THE MOVIE...and all the records, MCs, CDs, DVDs my late mother gave to me. I'm crying when I'm listening to ABBA' s music and videos. EAGLE was a top ten hit in Germany. Goodnight everybody.
Поражаюсь игре Бога...эти две девушки соединили в себе идеал женщины - девственность и женственность, нежность и страсть , невинность и тайну возможной порочности. Не могу их разделить , они обе высший пилотаж и неповторимы, кто бы их не пытался заменить с повторением репертуара группы. Незабываемы! Любимы! Восхищаюсь и не могу остановиться в желании видеть и слышать без конца!
28 сентября 2022 года, два часа ночи. Я смотрю клип Аббы на свою любимую песню и вспоминаю, как мама показывала мне его на кассете, тогда я, завороженная, пересматривала его снова и снова. Спасибо за чудесное детство, мама. Невероятная группа, невероятная музыка, в которой я всякий раз слышу частичку души человека, которого уже давно нет со мной...
This song isn't listened to as oft probably because it isn't a "dance" song, which ABBA is more known for, but my goodness is this such a fantastic song. I absolutely loved this as a kid, the whole album it comes from. This song touched my heart now for 40 years.
The informed know about their ENTIRE catalogue. ABBA is known by the informed as a multiple genre group with a high level of musicality musicianship and professionalism. Also, the American music industry people on balance shit on ABBA, while the rest of the world did not. The Americans, not individual Americans, but the American music establishment did thier best to misrepresent ABBA. But the world outside of the American music industry establishment were sharp -- they knew ABBA were incredibly talented. In the 90's the American music establishment started to come out of the woodwork with praise for ABBA. They were basically shamed by the rest of the world for their unfair treatment of ABBA. ABBA were a self contained indie band that did everything themselves. They had no corporate music industry puppeteers or overlords. This fact bothered many who worked in the music industry. ABBA had their close nit team, full of talent and intelligence just kept on making music. In the end, quality will always be rewarded. ABBA were and are giants.
These dudes are totally tapped into the Cosmic wellspring of music. Had this (or any one of their numerous masterpieces) been a one-hit-wonder, we'd be awestruck. But their works keep coming at you from all directions, as if they can't help belting out keepers. How rare is such euphonic prolificity.
В молодості ці шведи були найрідніші і найбажаніші у моєму житті. Брехня Совєтського строю ... Пісні АВВи були як свіже повітря.... Коли вдавалось "зловити " по радіолі пісні АВВи ,особливо " Орел" ------ щастю не було меж..... Вкладала в цю пісню свій зміст ---- душа злітала до небес ,тепер я розумію --- до Бога , до АВВА ОТЧе.... як написано в Біблії . Молюсь , за спасіння моїх дорогих Агнети,Анні-Фріди, Бенні,Бьорна..... Всіх,хто прочитає мій коментар ,благаю---- прийдіть до ніг Ісуса Христа,хай Він стане вашим особистим Спасителем ..... Що може бути краще за Любов Божу ? Ніщо. Співайте во славу Божу нові пісні , про істину і відродження грішного серця нашого. З любов'ю з України написала Людмила ,тепер християнка .
for me, this is Abba's pinnacle. The harmonies take me so much higher than an eagle...... they take me to the transcendent state.... my (our) true nature.
Autobahns, lakes and rivers. motorways span canyons and valleys. into Austria through the mountains. This played in the car. I had to pull away from the window. I was dizzy. I wasn't on drugs. I was a kid. And never recovered. It's this track. Hits me in the throat every time.
when I played this song in my car in Portland, Oregon.................multiple people stepped up to my car when I was stopped at a couple traffic lights..............and they asked who sings this............it is fantastic. It is awesome when you hear it with pounding cymbals & thundering bass...............and the girls voices go thru you to your core.
Thats really cool! Did they get very suprised when you said that they were ABBA? I can truly understand them..this is like listening to some classic like Mozart combined with modern instruments and angelics voices to it....
The voices of this girls outstanding... to many songs that they sing...of course dancing queen or knowing me knownig you, the tender of going up and down the same time of her vioces is outstanding in this time of music
неповторимая группа! я счастлив! что являюсь современником, что молодость моя прошла в пору величайшего рассвета АВВА! НЕПРЕВЗОЙДЁННАЯ МЕЛОДИЧНОСТЬ ПЕСЕН ЭТОЙ СУПЕРГРУППЫ не оставляет никаких шансов современным примитивам!
They came flying from far away Now I'm under their spell I love hearing the stories that they tell They've seen places beyond my land And they've found new horizons They speak strangely but I understand And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can spread my wings Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please As all good friends we talk all night And we fly wing to wing I have questions and they know everything There's no limit to what I feel We climb higher and higher Am I dreaming or is it all real? Is it true I'm an eagle? Is it true I can spread my wings? Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (What a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can spread my wings Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (What a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas High, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (What a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please
Despite the disco trappings, this song is powerfully animistic, totemic, full of the mystery and magic of the natural world. ABBA had SO much more range in their musical styles, artistic influences and dramatic flourishes than they tend to get credit for. This is a good example. Same band that made "Waterloo" and "Honey, Honey" but this sounds completely different.
Perfect. Maybe their best song. Instruments, vocals, melody, worlds, rythm. How many deep down period helped me through this masterpiece from the 70’s. Timeless cure... God bless you for it.
The ABBA members to created only timeless classics masterpieces in the world pop music . A very best gift for my ears , mind and spirit . ABBA is only timeless classics masterpieces and pure gold pop music in the world .
How's loving this in 2024 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

Me! One of the best abba's
There is no limt to what I feel when I hear them
Absolutely, I am a beginner singer and I am trying to learn to sing it with my baratone voice. Ha
On our Sony music centre HMK 33B ........ the production overpowered the circuits and "blasted through" in 1979 ................
The most beautiful group my all time favorite since 1978.God Bless them.
mine too, but since 1994 :) I was five weeks old when I heard them for the first time :) on April 29 my love of ABBA turns 30 :)
Sorry guys (but not really sorry) since Brighton 1974. 👍
Released in 1978 (recorded 1977), still a beautiful song to listen to in 2023. Mama mia!!!
I was a big fan from ABBA in my younger day's , you won't get tired of the songs even today
Fernando etc
I'm from British Columbia Canada, and we have lots of eagles. I love this song in 2025!
Abba are a universal language, for happiness .
Well put
My favourite Abba song that most people don't seem to have heard of. 🦅
Yes! This is the best Abba-song!
yes!!! Absolutely!
Unless they’re ABBA fans. I clearly remember getting ABBA the Album in 78 and pretty much the whole class (except some boys) knew it off by heart within a week. We loved Eagle. I sang it 30 years later to my babies “flying” them up on top of my feet (lying on bed of course) so they knew it off by heart too lol
I agree. Their best song. Different from their usual stuff, just haunting.
@@billjones4159 Definitely x

Me too honey!
Whenever I feel sad or depressed, all I have to do is listen to Abba. Just by listening to them, helped me through some difficult times, in my life.
Just few true words...👍

This is without a doubt the most under rated ABBA song ever.
NO NO NO never underrated. Look that word up. It doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.
@@geoffsaunders8215 underrated
adjective
"not rated or valued highly enough."
That's what it said when I looked it up, and thats exactly what I mean......your point????
Dude, none of their songs are underrated. It's just that this generation of kids is more interested in different genres and rap crap.
One of my favourite abba songs my partner has never heard this til I played it tonight to him
its a great song and arrangement.... as are all abba songs
There simply never was, is not now, nor will there ever be, another ABBA. A genre all on their own. A masterpiece of music to the ears.
Ещё заканчивал школу, в 79 году брат из Швеции привёз виниловую пластинку. С тех пор, с огромным удовольствием до сих пор слушаю их песни! Политики воюют, а простые люди все равно любят и ценят друг друга.
ты молча поддерживаешь путинских фашистов...скоро они и до тебя доберутся....продолжай молчать...
Лучше не скажешь.
Политики не воюют-они бадло делят от кредитов МВФ и Дегнег из США. кто пропагандиркт войну тот не сидит в окопах
Как раз простыми людьми и воюют, часто за чужие интересы тех, кто в прямых контактах военных конфликтов не участвует.
Да! Я ❤ ABBA!
This is not music...this is MAGIC !
A masterpiece. Stunningly beautiful song.They will be playing this on the radio in the next hundred years and beyond.Mark my words : ) 26th April 2023

for me, this is Abba's pinnacle. The harmonies take me so much higher than an eagle...... they take me to the transcendent state.... my (our) true nature.
it's criminal that they stopped making classic music
An incredible group with another masterpiece of a song.
Thanks
Just fantastic the best.
When I first listened to this song I hated it. But now I really like it. I really like how agnetha and Frida have creatures on their outfits.
Браво
Why was this song never released as a single in the uk.....would have been number 1
Wie kraftvoll - voller positiver Energie der Freude - Erhebend!
Their songs are still alive. This one has magic.
Не кому не повторить!!! СУПЕР!!!!!!
This song was used in "ABBA: The Movie" (1977) and Paul Verhoeven's "Spetters" (1980).
Долгих лет Вам жизни моя любимая АВВА❤❤❤❤❤
Неповторимая музыка
Sometimes it takes only one song to bring back a thousand memories 🌹
True! This song stirs ancient memories for sure! 🦅🔥
a thousand and one 😘
Autobahns, lakes and rivers. motorways span canyons and valleys. into Austria through the mountains. This played in the car. I had to pull away from the window. I was dizzy. I wasn't on drugs. I was a kid. And never recovered. It's this track. Hits me in the throat every time.
I went to ABBA Voyage in London and they played this song I didn't know, so I search it and finally found. Now one of my favorites
when I played this song in my car in Portland, Oregon.................multiple people stepped up to my car when I was stopped at a couple traffic lights..............and they asked who sings this............it is fantastic. It is awesome when you hear it with pounding cymbals & thundering bass...............and the girls voices go thru you to your core.
Thats really cool! Did they get very suprised when you said that they were ABBA? I can truly understand them..this is like listening to some classic like Mozart combined with modern instruments and angelics voices to it....
The voices of this girls outstanding... to many songs that they sing...of course dancing queen or knowing me knownig you, the tender of going up and down the same time of her vioces is outstanding in this time of music
Wow, *that* is *really* remarkable...
They💖💖💖 motivated me to study English to the University Degree.
same in england put it on the juke box and every one is wow abba no way
every song is better than the other. Only ABBA can do this!!!
dimah khan January 1, 2019 and listening to these beautiful songs...maybe they will lift my heavy sad heart...
@@dmariecherry4637 For sure. Best drug.
I love you, 👏
100 % de acuerdo !!! ( nadie los pudo igualar ).
неповторимая группа! я счастлив! что являюсь современником, что молодость моя прошла в пору величайшего рассвета АВВА! НЕПРЕВЗОЙДЁННАЯ МЕЛОДИЧНОСТЬ ПЕСЕН ЭТОЙ СУПЕРГРУППЫ не оставляет никаких шансов современным примитивам!
70е лучшее время
Born in 1966, I grew up a rocker. But later in life really fell in love with ABBA. Always liked their hits, but every song is a keeper
I feel sorry for the people who dislike this, they obviously don't appreciate great music, their loss.
MrGooner61 But we are lucky to identify and appreciate great music like these.Im glad I wont hate this song.
I am grown with the music of abba in my youth..mama was used to listen to abba in comunism in albania..feeel bad for those who dislike..i swear!!
agreed
I seriously doubt ANYONE dislikes this though.
I don’t waste my time even thinking of them. It’s their loss, right x
They came flying from far away
Now I'm under their spell
I love hearing the stories that they tell
They've seen places beyond my land
And they've found new horizons
They speak strangely but I understand
And I dream I'm an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings
Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please
As all good friends we talk all night
And we fly wing to wing
I have questions and they know everything
There's no limit to what I feel
We climb higher and higher
Am I dreaming or is it all real?
Is it true I'm an eagle?
Is it true I can spread my wings?
Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky
(I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
(What a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please
And I dream I'm an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings
Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky
(I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
(What a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
High, high, I'm a bird in the sky
(I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
(What a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please
Than you!😊😊😊
So amazing lyrics! I feel how I've flown…and I have cried…
My favourite ABBA song ever, always.
Me too
Mine too. Such a great chord sequence. What a classic.
Me too.
Despite the disco trappings, this song is powerfully animistic, totemic, full of the mystery and magic of the natural world. ABBA had SO much more range in their musical styles, artistic influences and dramatic flourishes than they tend to get credit for. This is a good example. Same band that made "Waterloo" and "Honey, Honey" but this sounds completely different.
This song is magic. Just breathtaking. Abba truly is legendary. My God it's crazy how every damn song of theirs is a masterpiece.
My favourite ABBA song
And mine too, also very rarely heard.
Perfect. Maybe their best song. Instruments, vocals, melody, worlds, rythm. How many deep down period helped me through this masterpiece from the 70’s. Timeless cure... God bless you for it.
The ABBA members to created only timeless classics masterpieces in the world pop music .
A very best gift for my ears , mind and spirit .
ABBA is only timeless classics masterpieces and pure gold pop music in the world .
