Sometimes when you hear something so beautiful, it overwhelms you with emotions and you can't explain. Especially when we've missed these beautiful voices for so long. Tears are expected.
I understand your tears. It’s those unmistakable voices and harmonies, and ABBA giving us these songs after all these years. Unbelievable. And to think, more to come in just two weeks… ♥️
It's a truly wonderful song which gets you emotional and happy and speechless at the same time... Abba couldn't have done this better... I am also sooo happy they're back!
I DO understand your emotional reaction. It's a fantastic song. Sounds glad and danceable but it has a nostalgic atmosphere too. ABBA fans are receiviing unforgettable gifts these days!
And that is even more remarcable when we know he hasn´t had any musical schooling through his childhood or teen years. He is a completely self-made genious. He taught himself how to play. Most swedes know that but I don´t know if the world knows. Do you? He was and is the musical brain in ABBA. They are all very gifted and good musicians but Benny is something extraordinnary!
The final vocal bridge is the most tear-breaking moment for me, and, speaking honestly, I didn't even resist this feeling. I just let this flow through me. These tears were enjoyable.
I am 60 years old and I feel blessed to experience their come back. I AM FIRED UP. I cried and allowed myself to feel all the emotions of a 40 year hiatus. As a fan, I can only say: This is ABBA at its best.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
It kind of reminds me "Why did it have to be me" or "Happy hawai" to. Great song. Again, no matter when it has been sung, when Agnetha and Frida sing together it's diamond
It's strange that such an upbeat song should cause an emotional response, but I felt the same as you listening to it for the first time. I think it's a mixture of the perfectly matched voices and the joyful arrangement and as though we're being reunited with these long lost friends. It's the magic of ABBA.
ABBA fans all around the world are feeling "a landslide of emotion", with their new releases......... (and that is also a verse from their song "Kisses Of Fire") 🌟✨ ♫♫♫♪♪♪♪♪♥
This is unmistakably ABBA. I am delighted after thirty nine years ABBA is everything they were and even more! Those are tears of nostalgia! ABBA IS BACK!!!!!
The only things I've done this morning are listen to Just A Notion at midnight for about 20 times in a row...and then wait for your reaction video (I've been waiting for you...). As always thank you for your ABBA reactions. You're expressing what all of us out here are feeling. It's been a long 30 years to hear more than the Undeleted snippet!
Same here. You were the 1st one RUclips showed me - and I recognized you with warmth. (I discovered ABBA about a year ago, and today, in this song, I also found that "Third Voice." Eureka! )
Я из России и испытываю те-же чувства,что и вы!!! Я с первого включения прослушал её примерно 30 раз! От этой песни исходит счастье!!! Gloria Goad Abba!!! Gloria ABBA!!!
What with this, the two other new songs and the imminent album, I think it would be safe to say Abba are the most genuinely loved music group ever. I say this because of the love, fondness and joy they bring to the world just by being Abba. I don’t diss the likes of The Rolling Stones, Queen or the Beatles. But, worldwide Abba=Love xxxx
This tune feels like a real blast from the past - in a good way! Can't wait for the album to arrive. It's infectious seeing the utter joy and happiness on your face when you first started listening!
@@GivenToe Great song, in any aspect... I think that emotional "booom" is in angel voices and the way they fantastic-galacitic duo sing! Arrow -straight in the heart&soul. Clear, softly... full of emotions their voices are.
On the basis that every ABBA album has at least 3 "great" ABBA songs, this new album is already going to be AMAZING because that 3 out of 3 right there. Stunning.
I bought and downloaded this shortly after midnight. I liked it better with each playing. Unmistakably ABBA. I don't care when it was recorded - it is NEW to me. November 5th will be memorable for more than one reason!
It's brilliant. Three and a half minutes of pure happiness. It's just 💯 ABBA, which for me is perfect. Unique and priceless. BTW, love your reactions. Great vid. You know that Agnetha's watching, right? She may even be a subscriber by now. 🇺🇲🇸🇪
Wow the harmony of their voices. Pure. Combined with the Piano - beautiful song. Loving the first 3 songs sooooo much. Bring on the Voyage Abba. You bring me Joy xxxx
Wow! I close my eyes and this takes be back to the mid to late '70s when the music was so good that you would leave the radio/boom box on all night and hear an Abba song just like this! Abba Forever!
@@GivenToe I thought that as well. Their older voices have a very different sound - like reed instruments rather than brass instruments, to use an analogy. They have lost belting strength but have gained poignancy. And, as "Don't Shut Me Down" said, I think the now-and-then-combined is special.
I love this song. 45 years ago I discovered "What about Livingstone" visiting my sister's family and I couldn't take it out of my mind anymore for years. Other ABBA songs (such as "That's me") got interesting for me only decades later. The universe of ABBA music has so many layers and facets that it may be possible to judge it only over a lifetime.
Great reaction. All I can say is, ABBA - Thank you for the music ! I heard this on the ABBA Undeleted (Medley) - loved it ! Great ABBA sound ! Love the piano work in this one ! Cheers
That actually is the first and only place this was heard, Benny and Bjorn kept it under wraps until then and at that only a short clip of it. Which Michael Tretow engineered up for the box set, it was done during the "Voulez Vous" recording sessions, and was slated to be on that album but chosen not to be on it in favor of the final track listing for it.
What a great reaction video this is of another fantastic ABBA song grom the New album. I love your reaction because you really understand what good music is all about! Thank you so much for sharing this whit us. Already looking forward to the next reaction video! Be safe and have a great day!
One of those rare songs where all four ABBA members sing together in “gorgeous harmonies” (as stated in Carl Magnus Palm’s book). Love it! Looks like the Nov 5 album will be full of variety! ♥️
Your emotions are very real and touching , I am also excited that we are witnessing the new ABBA songs released. Unbelievable that people at that age are so young in their soul and almost timeless. It give hope that we also can do this with the things we do.
I love this song! Now we have three FANTASTIC new songs from ABBA and I've preordered the CD and I think the rest of the album must be really great too! How lucky are we to hear ABBA again fresh and new after so many years. I understand your happy tears me too!
Yet another great reaction Giventoe. Their voices haven't changed at all so I think it is almost impossible to hear whether it is 1970s or 2021. ABBA is a sensation. After 40 years. UNBELIEVABLE 😭😭😭
After the past 20 months of this pandemic and the misery associated with it, the timiming of relesing this joyful song is just on cue! What a lift this album is giving us all…truly worth the wait, cant wait for the other 7 songs
My name is Albino Costa. I'm Brazilian and I live in Porto Alegre. I'm 53 years old and ABBA's music has moved me since the 70s. I watched the reaction videos of the three new ABBA songs you produced... and I was moved by your emotion, I cried and smiled along with you, having the same reactions... there's only one detail: I don't speak English... I just felt your emotion. I would like to ask a favor: if you can, transcribe for me the words you spoke so that I can translate them into Portuguese through the Google translator. If you can do this, it will make me very happy... congratulations... beautiful video. ABBA forever.
Very emotional in an uplifting way. Brings back memories of Eurovision/Waterloo, listening to the early albums as a child, dancing at New Year with my parents - love it! Thank you ABBA! X
Let the tears flow my friend. Love your reaction videos. You are not alone in your emotional reaction to ABBA's new releases. They have the magical ability to make you feel sad and cry your eyes out while making you feel overwhelmed with pure joy and happiness at the same time. Your reaction is a very normal response which I for one share with you as well as many ABBA fans around the world. Much love from Melbourne Australia 😃
AbbA above all eminate class and perfection of harmony, the music is first class and the lyrics match that distinction. And all of this without profanity and "samples," kudos to these classic Swedes who never fail to impress!
My first reaction to this release when I heard about it was: I wish they had reworked "Just like that" instead.The original demo recording wasn't my favourite but this new version grows on you I think and is a fine compliment to the first two songs.Hell,anything they give me after all these years is a blessing..Keep up the great work,David 👍
This song makes me so happy inside, few groups can do this! I've always enjoyed this song and always wanted more, and now its complete! I love have it maintains the same energy level through out the song! Great reaction and feedback. You emotional response is completely relatable! No ABBA fan should complain, we never thought we'd see the day when they would release new music, let alone an entire album! Keep up the great work!
I agree the album is going to be amazing. Everything they create turns to gold. As a 27 year old I can see why they are legends and glad to be apart of this historic event.
Had exactly the same reaction. And that unexpected chord change at the end which makes you think for a split second that the song has changed key, is absolutely electrifying.
Have watched and rewatched this so many times just to see the beautiful orb that comes down on your right hand at side at 3.37 just as Agnetha sings " Hello" . Beautiful
Greetings from India. I watched today your reaction to few songs!! I am 58, and it had been a long wait for me a die hard ABBA Fan from school days. This album is just a Oasis in music desert. My reaction to Bumble Bees was tears just poured in while the other songs was just too much emotions..!!! Yes, Just a notion too top class performance...!! I wonder How would I even rank the songs in order!! Almost impossible! Thanks for your efforts. I feel good, somebody out there reacts in almost same way as I do and puts it in public domain to share it!! Regards Karthik, Bangalore. India.
Words not needed. You know that tummy full of happy gas feeling when you book a day off work, but you forget until the night before, then you remember. I have that when I listen to ABBA.
Just a notion giving you shivers with anticipation and hope, put together in a song with a lot of swing and perfectly harmonizing voices. Perfect!
3 года назад+2
Pure, unadulterated ABBA joy! A blast from the past made beautifully contemporary - "Now and then combined". Benny's piano riffs! - just WOW. The dynamics and energy in the song very reminiscent of their greatest hits, ABBA stays ABBA even after 40 years and this is wonderful! Ladies and gentlemen ...ABBA ARE BACK!
I feel like it goes together with”don’t shut me down” maybe from the perspective of the person agnetha is going to see? Love the fade out too.pure joy! Love your soul!
@@GivenToe Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction , along with another Great from ABBA the both lit up the screen and Brightened my night , Thank you much Love from Scotland 💙🏴💙
Another cracking track from the forthcoming Voyage album so far & I’m squealing with delight that I feel this album may be the fastest seller for them and perhaps ever !!! AWESOME !!!!!!
There is nothing wrong with you. Any true ABBA devotee understands. Happy, sad, or in between, ALL the new tracks on Voyage bring me to tears for many different reasons. Just like the Mamma Mia movies tend to do to me as well. This album TRULY is a gift from ABBA to their fans, young and old. Any who might be confused by any of its content need only review their catalog and history (together, as well as separately) to understand, and "get it," as well as appreciate its brilliance! Cheers to ABBA, and cheers to you for your heartfelt emotions, which seem to be so inline with many of us ABBA fanatics! Thanks for your wonderful videos.
ABBA strikes again!!! I love it. I subscribe to XM radio for three years now. They rarely played ABBA. Now that they're back they play ABBA. What were they waiting for? I LOVE LOVE LOVE ABBA.Always did, always will. Oh by the way, I teared up too so you're not alone there. I CAN NOT WAIT for the new album.
I love this one too, GT - they make it seem like a simple tune but the masterful balance of all the instruments OMG - it literally takes your breath away. Genius.
I love it all! And Björn’s harmonies and Ah - ha-ha is just adorable! They are just able to turn my memories and feelings upside down and inside out - and I am really happy to have them do that to me! 😄👍🏻🌹 It sounds like what Björn described in an interview about 6 years ago about the night he and Agnetha fell in love. They went out for dinner and soon they knew that was it! Great sincere reaction! Thank you too!
hey david. i think why you and the rest of ABBA's fans get so emotional is that these songs hark back to their unique style we have known for so long and its amazing to hear new songs and the thoughts and memories come rushing back to our minds. making us feel emotional and with happy tears of joy!
In my opinion, the song has a mix of fresh and nostalgic sound probably inspired by the Motown sound which clearly shows the capacity of Benny and Bjorn to develop good music and of course the talents of two of the most incredible singers ever: Frida and Agnetha !!!!!!
Love love loving what has been released so far ! Abba will never be outdone by anyone else .So very happy they are back even if it is only for one album it’s awesome can’t wait until I receive my copy !
I knew ABBA was big in the world with its sound, but seeing so many people get touched by their music really does me a stir in my soul! When they made their breakthrough in the 1970s, the media did not exist in this way as it does today. When I look at different reactions, I get warm in my heart and have little hope for humanity. That when the music can unite is incredibly wonderful. If any group can do this, it's ABBA with its catchy music. Greetings from Sweden!
Thanks for such a touching reaction! This song, although somehow captured from the past, is the perfect counterpoint to the two previously released Voyage tracks. A happy, danceable melody that takes us back to the ABBA of the beginning, to albums like Ring Ring, Waterloo, ABBA, Arrival... And why do we get so emotional when we listen to it? I am convinced that it is because of Agnetha and Frida’s endearing voices, which comfort us, and to some of us, already mature, they take us back to our childhood ... and it feels like our mother’s embrace, a mother who is no longer there, who will not return ... whereas ABBA has done it!
I just compared the original version and the new version. The vocals are so close and really hard to tell the difference, but if listen really carefully, there are some parts where Agnetha's voice are sharper in the original version, and also some words she sang sound different in the new version. I would believe ABBA kept the original essence but rerecorded everything. btw Agnetha's voice is still stunning!
@@khonsanug we have no way of knowing how many demos of this song they have in the vault, I can guarantee there will be way more than the 1 snippet that was released on ABBA Undeleted, and it is more likely than not that this is one of the alternate versions. The vocals do not sound new, both Frida and Agnetha are singing this song, if it was just Agnetha then the vocal would sound thinner and the metallic element of their combined harmony would not be present.
@@lounolastname4477 When I say different, it’s not just the vocals, but as a whole, even the instruments are slightly different. Yes you’re right, we never know if the vocals are new, that’s merely my analysis. As I said, I would believe in ABBA, that they will not just remaster a song that has been recorded decades ago and used it as it is just because it sounded great, they are now and then combined after all, and I still have faith in them haha.
What I’ve heard is that this was an alternate take of the vocals from the 1978 recordings. The vocals are not newly recorded, they just used a different version and blended it differently from the unreleased snippet from before. Personally, I’m not 100% feeling this one. I feel like this is not a good blend of their voices. They are both singing, but Agnetha’s voice is too prominent and it loses that ABBA magic when they both sing both the harmony and the melody lines together.
It took me a while to "love" this song. I can see why it wasn't released at the time of Voulez Vous, as it feels like something from a much earlier ABBA. But after hearing it quite a few times, I really think it's so catchy... those Ahh... hah... hah s... 😆 Thanks again for your honest and heartfelt reaction to this new music. From one huge ABBA fan to another, it means a lot.
I've listened a few times now and love it. Trust me. Enjoy it on its own terms. How on earth could it ever have had the emotional impact and poignancy of ISHFIY and DSMD? It sounds like very old school Abba - their beginnings, the very happy years. We need happy. 3 for 3.
I've been watching your ABBA reaction videos all day today, and I think you're a blast! I love how emotional you get, how much you love this AWESOME group! You're not the only one who sheds tears every time they listen to this album!!! Spread that ABBA love!
Jolly good fun, with fantastic instrumental. The music track was laid down in 2021 and the vocals were recorded in 1978, according to The Independent (online UK newspaper). It reminds me of Why did it have to be me.
Sometimes when you hear something so beautiful, it overwhelms you with emotions and you can't explain. Especially when we've missed these beautiful voices for so long. Tears are expected.
😭❤️
Totally agree
Exactly ♥️
so true!
The voice of Agnetha and Frida in union with this melody make anyone cry !! This is something we didn't know we needed so much
I understand your tears. It’s those unmistakable voices and harmonies, and ABBA giving us these songs after all these years. Unbelievable. And to think, more to come in just two weeks… ♥️
Amazing 🙏🏻❤️
@@ingekjetilbratset8839 🙄😂😂
The emotional reaction can also be the release from he past 18 months, it strikes a nerve. We want to see the smiles from our friends.
It's a truly wonderful song which gets you emotional and happy and speechless at the same time... Abba couldn't have done this better... I am also sooo happy they're back!
😁🙏🏻
I DO understand your emotional reaction. It's a fantastic song. Sounds glad and danceable but it has a nostalgic atmosphere too. ABBA fans are receiviing unforgettable gifts these days!
A timeless masterpiece in any musical era. Benny's piano playing is extraordinary.
And that is even more remarcable when we know he hasn´t had any musical schooling through his childhood or teen years. He is a completely self-made genious. He taught himself how to play. Most swedes know that but I don´t know if the world knows. Do you? He was and is the musical brain in ABBA. They are all very gifted and good musicians but Benny is something extraordinnary!
Don’t Shut Me Down’s lyric “I’m NOW and THEN combined “ best describes this song ❤️
VERY true!
The final vocal bridge is the most tear-breaking moment for me, and, speaking honestly, I didn't even resist this feeling. I just let this flow through me. These tears were enjoyable.
Enjoy it! It is pure ;)
I am 60 years old and I feel blessed to experience their come back. I AM FIRED UP. I cried and allowed myself to feel all the emotions of a 40 year hiatus. As a fan, I can only say: This is ABBA at its best.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
❤❤❤❤
It kind of reminds me "Why did it have to be me" or "Happy hawai" to. Great song. Again, no matter when it has been sung, when Agnetha and Frida sing together it's diamond
Happy Hawaii is the early version of Why Did it Have to Be Me so yea that makes sense haha
It was the same! I just heard this song this morning and I started singing Why did it have to be me over this song lol
My thoughts exactly. Love this.
@@kyrette1666 Yes, I had this exact thought.
Love Happy Hawaii! One of my favorites to listen to. Just puts you in a good mood every time you hear it.
It's strange that such an upbeat song should cause an emotional response, but I felt the same as you listening to it for the first time. I think it's a mixture of the perfectly matched voices and the joyful arrangement and as though we're being reunited with these long lost friends. It's the magic of ABBA.
"As though we're being reunited with these long lost friends" - you just summed up my feelings right there!!!🤩
ABBA fans all around the world are feeling "a landslide of emotion", with their new releases.........
(and that is also a verse from their song "Kisses Of Fire") 🌟✨ ♫♫♫♪♪♪♪♪♥
😁🙏🏻 Amazing!
True....
I love the piano, harmonies and the aha’s, all trademark ABBA all rolled into one song👍
This is unmistakably ABBA. I am delighted after thirty nine years ABBA is everything they were and even more! Those are tears of nostalgia! ABBA IS BACK!!!!!

Music to put a smile on your face and take you to that happy place . They never fail
Well spoken! 🙏🏻😁
Totally agree and don’t understand where the wave of emotion comes from…but it’s there and it’s real. Just so special.
This tune feels like a real blast from the past - in a good way! Can't wait for the album to arrive. It's infectious seeing the utter joy and happiness on your face when you first started listening!
ABBA's "Just A Notion" knocked Adele's "Easy On Me" out of Nº 1 in Sweden 😁🤜💥♫♫♫♪♪♪♪♥
Thats pretty epic 🤣😁
Adele, who? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@GivenToe Great song, in any aspect... I think that emotional "booom" is in angel voices and the way they fantastic-galacitic duo sing! Arrow -straight in the heart&soul. Clear, softly... full of emotions their voices are.
Total deserved, Abba is always another Level....What a great Song it is...wow. Kind regards from Berlin / Germany
Utter joy! I have cried every time I have heard it . My daughter keeps asking if I am alright.
Alright, I am in Abba heaven !
Me too!!!
Just love ABBA been fan from beginning. Have just come a subscriber to you cause a true emotional reaction. Love the song its beautiful. X
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
On the basis that every ABBA album has at least 3 "great" ABBA songs, this new album is already going to be AMAZING because that 3 out of 3 right there. Stunning.

It’s a solid song, shades of Ring Ring at its core. Your reactions are great truly honest.

I thought so too! Especially the last phrase before the fading ah-ha’s “I think it’s more than a notion…”
Well spotted! The A-Ahuhs also re-recorded as well as some of the lines have been retouched with new vocals.
I love this song. 45 years ago I discovered "What about Livingstone" visiting my sister's family and I couldn't take it out of my mind anymore for years.

Im cryin of joy and I cant stop listning to the song.
Its what 2021 needed so desperately. :-) Reminds me why I adored ABBA as a teenager.
I think it’s about resonance. After 2 years of sadness I think just hearing happy music makes me tearfully joyful and happy ❤️
Your emotions are very real and touching , I am also excited that we are witnessing the new ABBA songs released. Unbelievable that people at that age are so young in their soul and almost timeless. It give hope that we also can do this with the things we do.
It just immediately takes you back to 1975/6. Like time travelling back to happy innocent times.
Makes me shivers, goosebumps and tears !
This is a masterpiece.
I can't stop to listen and sing it.
Love it!
It's now and then combined!
Yes!

No ABBA fan should complain, we never thought we'd see the day when they would release new music, let alone an entire album! Keep up the great work!
Thanks a LOT! :D
Ahhh such a happy song! And one saturated with hooks. So many earworms wriggling in my head 😱🥳🤣.
This should B on radio Now! 🥳
I agree the album is going to be amazing. Everything they create turns to gold. As a 27 year old I can see why they are legends and glad to be apart of this historic event.
❤❤❤❤
Had exactly the same reaction. And that unexpected chord change at the end which makes you think for a split second that the song has changed key, is absolutely electrifying.
Have watched and rewatched this so many times just to see the beautiful orb that comes down on your right hand at side at 3.37 just as Agnetha sings " Hello" . Beautiful
Indeed you are correct! I saw that too now! =)
Someone special listening with you x
Greetings from India. I watched today your reaction to few songs!! I am 58, and it had been a long wait for me a die hard ABBA Fan from school days. This album is just a Oasis in music desert. My reaction to Bumble Bees was tears just poured in while the other songs was just too much emotions..!!! Yes, Just a notion too top class performance...!! I wonder How would I even rank the songs in order!! Almost impossible! Thanks for your efforts. I feel good, somebody out there reacts in almost same way as I do and puts it in public domain to share it!! Regards Karthik, Bangalore. India.
Thank you! And welcome here 😁
...another big wave of joy! Thank you for your video and ABBA for the music.
Words not needed. You know that tummy full of happy gas feeling when you book a day off work, but you forget until the night before, then you remember. I have that when I listen to ABBA.
Just a notion giving you shivers with anticipation and hope, put together in a song with a lot of swing and perfectly harmonizing voices. Perfect!
Pure, unadulterated ABBA joy! A blast from the past made beautifully contemporary - "Now and then combined". Benny's piano riffs! - just WOW. The dynamics and energy in the song very reminiscent of their greatest hits, ABBA stays ABBA even after 40 years and this is wonderful! Ladies and gentlemen ...ABBA ARE BACK!
I feel like it goes together with”don’t shut me down” maybe from the perspective of the person agnetha is going to see? Love the fade out too.pure joy! Love your soul!
14 minutes of Pure Happiness , Thank you 💙🏴💙
❤️❤️❤️
@@GivenToe Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction , along with another Great from ABBA the both lit up the screen and Brightened my night , Thank you much Love from Scotland 💙🏴💙
Thank YOU! 😁🙏🏻
Another cracking track from the forthcoming Voyage album so far & I’m squealing with delight that I feel this album may be the fastest seller for them and perhaps ever !!! AWESOME !!!!!!
There is nothing wrong with you. Any true ABBA devotee understands. Happy, sad, or in between, ALL the new tracks on Voyage bring me to tears for many different reasons. Just like the Mamma Mia movies tend to do to me as well. This album TRULY is a gift from ABBA to their fans, young and old. Any who might be confused by any of its content need only review their catalog and history (together, as well as separately) to understand, and "get it," as well as appreciate its brilliance! Cheers to ABBA, and cheers to you for your heartfelt emotions, which seem to be so inline with many of us ABBA fanatics! Thanks for your wonderful videos.
❤️🙏🏻
ABBA strikes again!!! I love it. I subscribe to XM radio for three years now. They rarely played ABBA. Now that they're back they play ABBA. What were they waiting for? I LOVE LOVE LOVE ABBA.Always did, always will. Oh by the way, I teared up too so you're not alone there. I CAN NOT WAIT for the new album.
Its brilliant everything they do is brilliant😁😁
Tears mean this song reached inside and touched you in ways that you cannot explain. I feel the same about SOS....
🙏🏻😭
ABBA always♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love this one too, GT - they make it seem like a simple tune but the masterful balance of all the instruments OMG - it literally takes your breath away. Genius.
It truly is great! 😁
its like 25th movie frame effect..something involved..i cried too.. that so perfect catch my soul. Can' run...
I love it all! And Björn’s harmonies and Ah - ha-ha is just adorable! They are just able to turn my memories and feelings upside down and inside out - and I am really happy to have them do that to me! 😄👍🏻🌹
It sounds like what Björn described in an interview about 6 years ago about the night he and Agnetha fell in love. They went out for dinner and soon they knew that was it!
Great sincere reaction! Thank you too!
Thank YOU! :D
Wow! That's what we call music!
I'm speechless well done ABBA
hey david. i think why you and the rest of ABBA's fans get so emotional is that these songs hark back to their unique style we have known for so long and its amazing to hear new songs and the thoughts and memories come rushing back to our minds. making us feel emotional and with happy tears of joy!
Very true Gene! 🙏🏻😊
In my opinion, the song has a mix of fresh and nostalgic sound probably inspired by the Motown sound which clearly shows the capacity of Benny and Bjorn to develop good music and of course the talents of two of the most incredible singers ever: Frida and Agnetha !!!!!!
Love love loving what has been released so far ! Abba will never be outdone by anyone else .So very happy they are back even if it is only for one album it’s awesome can’t wait until I receive my copy !
Haha that was me immediately smiling ear to ear! It's s one of those songs ❤😁 heaven. Ty I've loved ABBA my entire life!
I knew ABBA was big in the world with its sound, but seeing so many people get touched by their music really does me a stir in my soul! When they made their breakthrough in the 1970s, the media did not exist in this way as it does today. When I look at different reactions, I get warm in my heart and have little hope for humanity. That when the music can unite is incredibly wonderful. If any group can do this, it's ABBA with its catchy music. Greetings from Sweden!
😁🙏🏻
there comes a fairy with the song, that brings tears of joy
Thanks for such a touching reaction! This song, although somehow captured from the past, is the perfect counterpoint to the two previously released Voyage tracks. A happy, danceable melody that takes us back to the ABBA of the beginning, to albums like Ring Ring, Waterloo, ABBA, Arrival... And why do we get so emotional when we listen to it? I am convinced that it is because of Agnetha and Frida’s endearing voices, which comfort us, and to some of us, already mature, they take us back to our childhood ... and it feels like our mother’s embrace, a mother who is no longer there, who will not return ... whereas ABBA has done it!
I just compared the original version and the new version. The vocals are so close and really hard to tell the difference, but if listen really carefully, there are some parts where Agnetha's voice are sharper in the original version, and also some words she sang sound different in the new version. I would believe ABBA kept the original essence but rerecorded everything. btw Agnetha's voice is still stunning!
It's not rerecorded, it's remastered from the ground up with the 78 session tapes.
@@Patrick_AUBRY they may have used some of the old recordings, but if you listen carefully, you’ll know it’s not a remaster.
@@khonsanug we have no way of knowing how many demos of this song they have in the vault, I can guarantee there will be way more than the 1 snippet that was released on ABBA Undeleted, and it is more likely than not that this is one of the alternate versions. The vocals do not sound new, both Frida and Agnetha are singing this song, if it was just Agnetha then the vocal would sound thinner and the metallic element of their combined harmony would not be present.
@@lounolastname4477 When I say different, it’s not just the vocals, but as a whole, even the instruments are slightly different. Yes you’re right, we never know if the vocals are new, that’s merely my analysis. As I said, I would believe in ABBA, that they will not just remaster a song that has been recorded decades ago and used it as it is just because it sounded great, they are now and then combined after all, and I still have faith in them haha.
What I’ve heard is that this was an alternate take of the vocals from the 1978 recordings. The vocals are not newly recorded, they just used a different version and blended it differently from the unreleased snippet from before.
Personally, I’m not 100% feeling this one. I feel like this is not a good blend of their voices. They are both singing, but Agnetha’s voice is too prominent and it loses that ABBA magic when they both sing both the harmony and the melody lines together.
It took me a while to "love" this song. I can see why it wasn't released at the time of Voulez Vous, as it feels like something from a much earlier ABBA. But after hearing it quite a few times, I really think it's so catchy... those Ahh... hah... hah s... 😆 Thanks again for your honest and heartfelt reaction to this new music. From one huge ABBA fan to another, it means a lot.
It really is catchy!
I've listened a few times now and love it. Trust me. Enjoy it on its own terms. How on earth could it ever have had the emotional impact and poignancy of ISHFIY and DSMD? It sounds like very old school Abba - their beginnings, the very happy years. We need happy. 3 for 3.
I absolutely LOVE this song! This is my 2nd favorite song on the album, behind Don't Shut Me Down!
Its so good! 😍
I've been watching your ABBA reaction videos all day today, and I think you're a blast! I love how emotional you get, how much you love this AWESOME group! You're not the only one who sheds tears every time they listen to this album!!! Spread that ABBA love!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊
Jolly good fun, with fantastic instrumental. The music track was laid down in 2021 and the vocals were recorded in 1978, according to The Independent (online UK newspaper). It reminds me of Why did it have to be me.
ABBA always make us happy!
