And when the world needed them most, they returned
ABSOLUTELY ....... Thank you so much A B B A!!!!!
I'd have said a year ago when we were all miserable in lockdown would've been better :)
YES 😍
So true
I agree, we need some happiness...
I’m a 60 year old man……crying tears of joy to hear them once again.
same here
Foda demais. Entendo o teu sentimento amigo
Anche io 76 anni..! ❤
Yes, me too.
60 year 'old' man?? We are "best ager"!!!!❤💪🏼Ganz liebe Grüße von einer 60-jährigen jungen Frau!! 👍🏼🙋🏼♀️❤
I played this to my Mum 2 years ago as she lay in hospital. Life long fan as I am. My aim was to bring a little joy into her Covid restricted stay.
The first part of the song made her cry.
The lyrics more poignant than either of us realised. Several weeks later she passed but l'm so glad I got to share this moment with her. We held one another and I won't ever forget that moment. Melancholic but joyous ABBA. Lyrically nothing comes close.
Still brings tears to my eyes. ABBA
Voyage on Saturday with my Dad and niece. Wish she was there to share the moment
This for me is Abba at their finest. 50 years on. Incredible they can still put out an instant classic. For you Mum 🪽😘
Enjoy the gig and let us know how did you feel about it.
Your mum will be with you at this spectacular show....
Прими соболезнования.
I'm glad that she was still there to share this very special moment with you
Wow, it's like we have a very similar story. My grandma unfortunately was diagnosed with cancer.
Unfortunately i can't really listen to this song without sheding some tears
UPDATE: I’ve been blown away by the response to my post below. Thank you to everyone for their comments and the time taken to describe the new music. Having read the responses it’s really helped me and painted a picture of the new music 😊. The dream would be future Lyric videos with highlighted lyrics that vibrate in time with the music, as well as the written music underneath. Just like that school tv programme Music Time when I was little 😂 Enjoy the music and thank you again ❤️ x
I’m now deaf and can no longer listen to music. It’s been the hardest part of coming to terms with my deafness over the last twenty years. I always comforted myself by saying said at least I’d heard all of ABBAs music. My heart sank when I saw the news yesterday but am so happy for those who can hear it too. This video has helped give a lyrical flavour, thank you. If any ABBA fans out there can describe their new songs in comparison to their previous music I’d appreciate it.
Thank you.
Enjoy the music everyone x
During the verse I'm hearing a lot of 80's synth sounds kind of like "One of Us". But then leading up to the chorus there's a lot of orchestral parts and disco vibe, I especially recognize some piano jingle from Dancing Queen. Their vocals are a bit aged at certain points but holds up really well when sung by both together, instantly recognizable as the Abba sound.
@@raarnt I couldn't have said it any better! That's my thoughts exactly!
@@raarnt thank you so very much for your words , they’ve painted a picture for me 😊
They sound older, so the vocals sounds diffrent but still good. I would say this perticular song is not as good as the old stuff, but still not bad. I enjoyed it. What stood out a bit in this song is a little darker synth bass sound in the background that I liked. Sorry about your ears...its one of my greatest fears to lose my hearing.
Love to you, hopefully you can immerse yourself with the intensity of your many happy ABBA memories from the past and enjoy knowing new generations can share your experiences of discovering ABBA❤️
The way "I Still Have Faith In You" is a song about their personal journey to deciding to reunite as a group and "Don't Shut Me Down" is a message to the audience to have an open mind and remember that they're not the same people they were 40 years ago... this is a BRILLIANT comeback. It's emotional and fun and says loudly *yeah we've still got it*. I'm so excited to hear more of what they have in store
I hope my comment doesn't offend anyone but. When I listened to the song it seems to me long gaps where words should be I can't give you an example would take too long. That's just my opinion if my comments do offend I will delete it.
@@denplummer7191 Why delete?
You have the right to have your own opinion.
@@ricky3180 yes I have every right to have an opinion but some people take offence at anything thank you for your reply.
@@denplummer7191 I think it is just a byproduct of music writing of their era. Modern music tends to cram a lot of lyrics in 3min. They are from a time when the instrumental is doing most of the work and songs reach 4-5min.
@@ricky3180 It's a weak song from old people for old people.
After all these years, no two voices have ever sounded so good. It’s as if the Universe conspired to bless us with their beautiful voices.
I love how they didn't change the formula when creating new songs much if at all, they know exactly what makes a song...an Abba song.
It has their original soul and feel and that's why it's loved so much.
Точно, душа присутствует!
Дуже зворушливі і сердечні пісні. Це явище
ABBA writing music history again. I expected it to be good, but this is truly unbelievable. Sounds exactly like at the peak of their success. What a comeback!!! 😱❤️🎉
Totally agree. I'm stunned just how much they still sound like the Abba we all loved back in the 70's/80's. Fantastic, and thoroughly made up to hear them back
agree, unbelievable, its kind of blessing
Back to the 70s baby!

Lol the song sucks.
God I missed you ABBA
Didn’t expect to see Schafrillas here, what an Easter egg
Unexpected. Cool!
ME TOO
Hey, hey, did you like the song?
I wish I had 800 subs :(
Now officiallly the most Grammy-nominated ABBA song of all time! Well-deserved. A pop masterpiece. 👏
I hope so.
We can win
@@jesusgonzalez3709 sadly they didn't win
@@thomasstout25 I know :( I’m sad, but anyway, I love them :)
grammy sucks!
I don’t know where their magic comes from but it’s so emotional and energizing at the same time. Saw the London concert. The crowd is mesmerized, dancing, singing, crying. ABBA are genius in pop music.
The concert is absolutely mind blowing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am in ABBA's age bracket and live in NYC . My niece lives in London and for her birthday I wanted to get tickets for her and a friend to go to the show. She had a few friends who have seen it and loved it. She was really excited about it , and then said, "But I would really rather go with you." Talk about melt my heart! Unfortunately, my health is not great and although 10 years ago I would have been having drinks at the Cavern in Liverpool, home of the Beatles (who I saw live in NYC!), now it's not possible. She insisted that we wait a few months and see how I feel. (I know that I won't be able to go -it's ok. I just REALLY want her to go. It's music history!! And it's ABBA!!) I am a classic rock fan, but NOBODY cannot enjoy ABBA! I'm buying her an ABBA Jacket, also.
Both of your comments are so touching. I feel that Agnetha and Frida expressed raw emotions in front of the world...live! They were born to sing together, just as Benny and Bjorn were born to write the music for them! They (and many of us) have traveled many paths over the years. It's a gift to have them return to tell us, and teach us (of many different ages), what they have learned on the "Journey" called "Life" .
Total class, talent, dignity, resilience and humility.
I went to the London concert as well, and i can confidently say the same about the crowd. Something about ending with The Winner Takes It All was just extremely emotional; I was sad to leave.
Maybe because they're essence of Aryan creativity. Before you call me stupid, look up for the world you are facing for...
This is pure ABBA, now I am teenager again, not terminally ill old man, I feel good, tears in my eyes. My perhaps last summer when I can still enjoy life had a perfect ending with this. Thank you ABBA for the music.
Just wait until November, when they release the full album
Thank you for the kind words and loving heart! Life is eternal!
@@algerdlitvin2097 love it so glad you can enjoy it all again Loved them as a boy too
thanks for sharing your emotions and your love for ABBA . enjoy their music we all do i think after such a long period .. Can’t wait listen to the other 8 new songs …
Timo ❤️ Onnellista, että sait jakaa tämän kokemuksen.
Wow this sounds like it could have been on any of their other albums. Have not lost that magic.
Absolutely Awesome

Thanks for 295 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ab jaldi se 300 krwa do guy's please 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love you all❤❤
Incredible! Pure ABBA!
I love how they stayed authentic and didn’t let modern trash music influence them!
It's like going back 40 years, it's like being a teenager again......those magical days of the mid-late 70s when ABBA's music was everywhere you went. Voyage was just an amazing experience, truly. I knew it might be emotional, well it sure was!!
I only heard this song for the first time at Abba Voyage concert and it really hit a inner part of me and I just kept crying. I don't know what it is about this song but it really moves me. My only criticism is that I wish it was longer. I want to thank Abba for 40 years of incredible awesome music. Your songs are timeless and will live on forever. X
Happened to me too!
I think it's because, like I Still Have Faith In You, this song was recorded around the time of planning of the Voyage concert, so this is literally an expression of how the members feel about the whole ordeal, but in musical form. Thus, it just hits too close to home, almost like this is the one real moment in the concert and this is actually ABBA in front of us (and strangely, it looked the most real out of all the songs for me).
And the fact that Agnetha, arguably the face of ABBA, did her monologue (which was the last one out of the four) before this song was pretty special too.
This is probably best comeback ever, sensible, and fully continuing on where the group left it. Timing and involving technology...super smart. Reminder that art, skill and quality is timeless. Love it.
Spot on review!
Nailed it!
Just listened to a Swedish music critic commenting on the live press event from Sep 2nd. She has a hard time now, struggling with her ego. She said: It's the fan's job to love this, and mine not to. Poor soul!
@@paullehmor982 There is your problem for the start; Like the Beatles, Abba had to produce something impossible to be appreciated by all the critics - it was, and is, forever impossible to do anything musically for such an iconic band that will be seen as ABBA best post 1983. Nostalgia is too great!
Well said !
Oh my God, what have you done, Abba? This is not just a new song, this is an attack on my soul. It touches me, makes me cry and laugh at the same time, because you are back. Abba, you are unique, incomparable! "Don't shut me down" is an anthem! The song goes better and better and better every time I hear it ...
Completely agree. I hear something new every time I listen to it. So happy 😊
It's almost as if they narrated their life story through that song.
It made me cry as well!!! It is just wonderful to have them back!!!
I know what you mean. The lyrics and music are so clever x
Shameful that this didn’t garner a Grammy award this year. It’s a glorious song; a message to “keep an open mind; and a master class in the craft of pop music. This is one of ABBA’s greatest songs, yet still no recognition for ABBA from the Grammys.
Warning... middle aged man crying here at the sheer joy of ABBA giving us yet another brilliant song. They sound as good as ever.
And me mate
So sweet.... 🥰😍😋
One of my former students, around 45 now and a very successful high school teacher with 2 daughters, has a dad who bullies him because he likes Abba, I shared that clip with him! I saw it too
Same here mate , same here - Just gave it a test drive on my new NAD C399 driving Klipsch RP8000F speakers - blooody hellfire
Joy is the word. Their sound is timeless, and I'm young again 😢
ABBA IS BACK!!!!! No one compares to the harmonies of Agnetha and Frida. PERFECTION!
Amen!
Ikr and after 40 years they didn't even lose their touch! Stunning!🤩
They'll never be surpassed.
Hello! Huge ABBA fan here! I covered this song! It would mean so much if you watch and leave your opinion! ruclips.net/video/AzcasH0OQ1s/видео.html ♡♡♡
Definitly YESSS 😉
I can't stop crying. What a gift the return of Abba is.

@@ellennur2397 Im in love
Me too! My childhood memories with ABBA soundtrack all came back
Me too! So emotional
Keine Band hat jemals diesen harmonischen stimmlichen Sound erreicht. Phantastisch ❤
This song is for me the ultimate goodbye. A brilliant song with pieces of old riffs wrapped in both the good old sound, as well as today's sound.
Thank you for the music
How many artists can say they took a 40 year break and come back and the world is talking about it? Damn. Go ABBA!
I think they got so worried about tarnishing their legacy then realised that what’s important is they are creating and enjoying what they do.
Legends for their success and return 🤩
Yessssss!!!!
They were joking that there's an old saying in the music industry that you can't leave more than 40 years between Albums, so they had to make one or else!
All band members have to be alive for a start.
I'm sitting in front of my computer crying, I never thought that this day would come. ABBA's music has been a part of my life since 1976. I still remember sitting in the rain watching them live in Sydney in 1977 - I even got half a day off school so I could get there on time. Their music has always been with me. Songs like slipping through my fingers when my kids (and now grandkids) started school, Dancing queen that my mother played for me every time she saw me dance (and she wanted it played at her funeral), Agnetha's "I stand alone" when my marriage broke down .... so much love for them. And so today, I proudly sit here and cry as an ABBA fan to hear this amazing new music. I cannot wait for the rest of the album
Im 19 again
Ya i cried too been waiting for this since kids...been hearing this song almost 30 times within this hours
I’m blubbering
@@roslis6200 I keep playing it over and over too.
Bjorn and Benny mentioned the Sydney concert as their moat memorable concert today.
Dieser Song ist wieder so großartig und herzerwärmend das man es kaum beschreiben kann. So tolles Songwriting wie es nur die ABBA-Jungs können. Viel zu lange haben sie die Welt auf ihre Musik warten lassen. Zu traurig das es wahrscheinlich das letzte Album von ihnen sein wird . Ich liebe sie für immer. Wünsche Ihnen vor allem Gesundheit.
Today is September 2, 2023
Exactly two years ago,
ABBA announced in an unforgettable worldwide live broadcast on RUclips
its return after almost 40 years and the premiere of its two comeback songs.
"I still have faith in you"
has all the passion and courage, the joys and sorrows, of ABBA's career.
a wonder that is in my Top 10 of the best songs in the history of ABBA
"Don't shut me down"
is the ABBA Masterpiece of the New Millennium
it has the piano glissados of "Dancing Queen",
the rhythm of "One of us",
the introduction and end of "Thank you for the music"
and the angel of "Waterloo"
I enter my Top 5 of all ABBA songs
Two years later,
we fans are forever grateful
to Sweden's Fabulous Four.
GOD bless forever
Agnetha, Benny, Björn, Anni Frid
my best regards and love from
Buenos Aires, Argentina
South America
Я фанатка Аввы к Вам присоединяюсь❤
ABBA have written a love letter to the fans after 40 years in this song. Everything comes flooding back. I am in tears with the beaury of the lyrics and sentiments of this song.
Me too. Get tears of joy every time I listen to these new songs. Like they have some healing properties to the soul.
Amen Crawford! Same here...i get Pure JOY when watching this...over...and over again.
The letters that I think they written are espiritual help
They are angels
Likewise here
Have you noticed this song has just two choruses? Two choruses in almost 4 minutes. That's it. ABBA's proving that you don't need to pound a musical motif 55 times per minute to make a song catchy and downright EPIC. 40 years after their prime, ABBA is still taking us to school.
ABBA are legends. I'm a metal head and I'm excited to hear the album. ABBA are some of my earliest memories. Just hearing them again is magic. And Thier songs are always well thought out. Little touches here and there.
@@Gavin-Leo--uk amazing! :)
And, the 2nd chorus is one tone higher, so the 2nd verse!
Dancing Queen - one of the most popular songs of all time - has 1 1/2 verses.
EPIC FAIL u mean they didn’t make it. I’m fan from yrs ago but this song and the other are poorly written songs they sound exactly the same yes and that’s good maybe the next songs released will be better than these two offerings 🇨🇦👏🏻
The Best ABBA song ever. The harmony, lyric, melody and Agnetha Voice is so amazing and beautiful.
ABBA's songwriting genius... This song can be interpreted in a hundred thousand ways.
in what ways do u interpret it
@@kyleday5026 I am not going to list 100,000 ways here, not for free anyway.
@@nirmalsuki can u name a few
@@kyleday5026 It can be around someone trying to rekindle an old relationship. It ca be about Abba making new music after so long and asking fans to give it a try. It can be about the new avatar technology they created for the virtual tour, where they mixed the old and new (old footage and new motion capture combined). It can be about old people in the labor force....
@@kyleday5026 Originally I interpreted it just as them singing about being back after all these years, being the same and yet different - a perfect combination of past and present mingled with decades of experiences.
I’ve recently found that it also can be interpreted as new life arising from old. I recently lost a friend to suicide and while it was devastating, I listen to this and can see that if we serve and find purpose in the loss of a friend, new life can arise.
I can only imagine that thousands of people will interpret it differently based on their personal life experiences reconciling the past and experiences with the current and new. A truly beautiful masterpiece.
I'm 73, an ABBA fan since my 20's, the world is a mess, but with this one song ABBA has given me something I can literally dance to till the end of my days.
That’s really sweet
Mendengarkan kembali betapa berjaya nya ABBA dahulu dan ABBA sekarang
💖💝💐
Wonderful!!
How is the world a mess??? We are all just part of nature, and nature has never been just daffodils and butterflies.
How does this band maintain such a distinctive.....them-ness? This song is so ABBA and already timeless it's like they float above time and space and are just....them. just ABBA.
No need for me to write a new comment. This captures my sentiments succinctly
Great songwriters/singers do not need to change their style in order to be good and stay trendy. That's what apparently every musician has forgotten nowadays.
Yep. The song may only be a few days old, but to me it’s as timeless as Waterloo.
Yep, it's like they never went away :'-)
@Dmitry Pepper Like who?
This song gives you a big smile, happy tears and tingles. I'm glad they returned with this album because it's better than the majority of the songs on the radio today.
👍👍👍👍
Agnethas voice is still amazing
The greatest comeback ever. No group has ever returned with such outstanding material; and to do that so calmly with the back-catalogue Abba have takes true belief and timeless talent. Yes, thank God, you still have it in you.....thank you for the music, Abba.
I don't think any big group has reunited and released a new album after 40 years either. There's no band like ABBA. Can't wait for the new album
It’s like they never left the studio. Perfection.
Agreed😎👍
i think much of this experience is thanks to Benny, who has worked with live music the whole time (after Chess and those musicals) in his own band (BAO) during the years, so he totally got the music and rythm there.. ;)
Hello! Huge ABBA fan here! I covered this song! It would mean so much if you watch and leave your opinion! ruclips.net/video/AzcasH0OQ1s/видео.html ♡♡♡
This song really sounds like a hit parade of all the ingredients of their pop songs from 1972-1982; a continuation of where they paused and 39 years later un-paused and fast-forwarded to 2021… So; yeah - I still have faith in you! Thank you for the music!
Thank God it does!
@@cosmicdrifter287 yeah I was panicking about that
True

One more classic in Abba's discography this time released in the 21st century.Divine sound.
Une merveille 💚🎶🎧🌍
Agnetha, Benny, Björn & Annifried where so hesitant all these decades about a return. This song just blends in within all the other great ABBA Hits and you can't get enough of it. Prooves their worries were totally unfounded.
Love ABBA and their greatest gift they've given all their fans - a looong hoped reunion. Hope they'll bless us with more songs❤❤❤
I am looking forward for next year. On 50th anniversary of their performance of Waterloo, Eurovision will be aired from Stockholm. Perhaps we can await some nod to them or even perhaps (i hope) some of them will appear on stage personally.
Never expected to be standing in my kitchen in the 21st Century singing along to the latest ABBA songs. I feel like a teenager again and I’m in my 60s. Thankyou for the Music again! This is a masterpiece ABBA

Thank you Abba
We love you forever
I wanted to jump up and down with glee when I first heard it. Agnetha still rocks at 70. I sent song to my family after I heard it. I'm still blown away. Thank you for the gift of Abba.
What’s wrong with me? I can’t stop listening to this song, and when I’m not listening to it, I’m singing it, even while working. Didn’t think ABBA would affect me like this as an adult. They’re just too damn good.
Hello!............
Just like it used to be songs going round in your head.
I'm doing the same. This song is playing with my DNA? It think it's the golden globe graphics or something. It's like, important and and don't get why yet, but, I love it.
Я тоже слушаю ее весь день!❤
leute wtf ganz ehrlich AbbaVEVO ist so schlecht geworden, das hier ist tausend mal besser ruclips.net/video/kuighwB2b_I/видео.html
Actually. Now I understand this song is growing and growing when you listen to it. At first it was "great" but now I think it has become - an Abba classic. Magical. It REALLY needs talent to make a song that has the groove, the joy and still also such a (beautiful) sadness that is an important part of life inside it. All the emotions. I think I am not the only one with these feelings.
dont think anyone can touch the human condition like abba can lyrically musically and vocally
There’s something so unique to ABBA I can’t describe, it is just like when you listen to classical music and feel the love then all of a sudden comes Chopin with his piano and treats your soul in a beautiful way you can’t understand! That’s the unique effect of ABBA songs!
@@L4AH4N1889 someone said the other day abbas music was like other 70s music and i highly disagree they have a sound that is one of a kind and is unique and as bjorn said when agnetha and frida start singing its abba they have distinct unique voices that sound great and joyous but also sad at the same time. and i believe that the reason the visitors album was not a big success when first released is because people were not ready for it as pete waterman said its a great album but its not a abba album. dont think any other musician has touched the human condition like them.
@@kyleday5026 absolutely
I'm 35. I know Abba since I was 13 and that was the love at first sight, as they say;)
So glad that They decided to come back with some new, fresh "meat"
Their Voices are so hmm sharp, so bright, it feels like this song was made in '70s , when They were at the top of Their fame.
Just wonderful.
Thank You, Abba.
The greatest comeback from any band and after 40 years, it will never be repeated.
They missed the lyrics: ….. singing together…. For you.🎹🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂😂😂🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳
no but they are an amazing band / amazing talents # no new ground broke here
Its like they never left....took a long ass vacation and came back to show EVERYONE how its supposed to be done! 👍
Just a notion has just been released too! The ABBA official channel needs to stop limiting comments on non music videos as this limits views/people finding the music!
" never say never ! " famous proverb - love from Switzerland
so glad ABBA returned with ABBA sound so that their fans can hear ABBA not some "make it modern" crap as so many tried and failed. This is AMAZING!
FAIL🇨🇦✌🏻🇨🇦 this is crap the song writing is not what it used to be and it surprises me that after 40 yrs this is the best they could do I like some of their old stuff but these two offerings are bland at best🇨🇦✌🏻🇨🇦
Derek, honestly.. you're surprisingly wrong in this... and i couldn't agrwee more lukas :D
as a sound engineer, and kinda composer too.. i can and wilöl say that, it's not the easiest thing to make something sound both "modern" in a sense that, the sound is absolutely clear and crisp, and also "vintage" , like it actually is original tune from the late 70's... i personally tip my hat for this band, for the bravery and hard work of.. still being brave enough to just be themselves... no second guessing, no "we need to ultra modernize our music" etc... it's just... ABBA, in all the wonderfull ways they were back in the day, and i frigging LOVE IT ! .. i mean... would DEREK here liked if it was something like... breakbeat, metalcore, or dubstep ABBA instead of them just sounding themselves ? there honestly is no one , especially in the modern music scene, which sound like ABBA... there have been some cheap imitations over the years... but.. this... this is just golden, and unique.

CONGLATULATIONS ABBA FOR THE NEW 4 GRAMMY NOMINATIONS!Wether you win or not you will never cease to be the winners of our hearts.WE LOVE YOU.
No ABBA have never been recognised by the Grammy’s. and what an injustice to ABBA and their genius to music .Their songs will live for ever but decision making by their peers leaves a lot to be questioned. ABBA the greatest and thank you to be many of the lucky people to see you rise again like the Phoenix with the Voyage Album, you are Simply the Best
So many musicians in their 70’s make weak parodies of their earlier hits. This is almost unique. A mature sound, a gift for melody, intelligent and mature lyrics, it’s a blueprint for how musicians in their twilight years can still create relevant music.
Completely agree, most mesmerizing 👍😘
Björn and Benny are geniuses!
Their musicals are fantastic as well and I love Benny's band BAO (Benny Andersson Orchestra)!
Like who for example?
🦋 The Who Toyah & Morrissey are to name a few all still making great music till this day 🎸

Even when it was totally unfashionable to love ABBA, I wouldn’t give a damn to those who were laughing at me for really loving their music. As a musician myself I was amazed by their incredible talent in songwriting and singing. Time going by prove that their sounds and melodies were timeless and masterpieces. And now that… what a come back ! Incredible. Respect to ABBA for providing the soundtrack of tens of millions people’s life.
I had a coat with ABBA on my back and everybody at school was making fun of me......I didn't care because you see. Quality music will live for everrrrr

Their talent is and was always one of a kind. As a sort of musician myself too, I am sure their music is unparalleled.
4 Grammy noms!! They deserve it so much! 🥺
@eternal footman They we’re nominated again!
@Alexander_Kobzar no, neither
Who cares about Grammy noms? The U.S. has always been lukewarm about ABBA. We feel what we feel; that's what matters.
They deserved so much more.. they were always great but just hated and ignored by the so called music media who know nothing
The most timeless band
What do I think of beatles
My father is hard like stone, but when he did hear the new ABBA songs he started to cry in the car. He got so nostalgic and emotional...
I rest my case, its a great song
Makes me cry also.
Great post!
Teared up reading this comment. I'm gonna have to listen to all their classic albums.
Same here 😂
Who loves ABBA is a GOOD man, in my opinion.And i am sure i am right
I’m sorry…but this is magic. When i was a 6 year old child, i reacted this way, but now i’m 53 , and now i am a songwriter myself, and i have learned about certain ”techniques” of how to write a memorable song, but…there’s one thing you can’t learn : how to make magic, the extra sprinkles, the cohesion of asong…
It is magic.🙏❤️
Hello! Huge ABBA fan here! I covered this song! It would mean so much if you watch and leave your opinion! ruclips.net/video/AzcasH0OQ1s/видео.html ♡♡♡
Bjorn and Benny said something akin to this in the ABBA Voyage livestream - they're never quite sure whether one of their songs will be a hit, as no formula can guarantee popularity. ABBA is truly an icon for the ages!
Don't be sorry.
I LOVE ABBA SO MUCH😭😭
You're right. It's magical.
It's a dream to have more ever lasting, magical ABBA songs!
Ich habe es immer gewünscht das Abba noch was rausbringt. Die Band hat mich in meiner Kindheit und Jugendzeit begleitet. War also der Justin Bieber der 70er. Heute hört meine Tochter fast 16 den Justin Bieber. Vor kurzem sagte sie zu mir. Papa hast du chiquitita von Abba am autoradio. Mir sind fast die Tränen gekommen. Meine Tochter hört Abba. Und das nach über 40 Jahren. Also eine besseres Lob könnt ihr nicht bekommen. Agnetha, Benny, Björn, und Anni. Eure Musik ist unsterblich. ☺️☺️☺️
Tears of joy. These are not just songs. They are the rebirth of hopefulness, the immersion into a past thought long lost, and for the younger generations, the inclusion into an experience shared only virtually. Nostalgia, hope, but for once not in vain. Time regained.
I think these songs should be put straight on More Gold. As great as anything they have done.
Welcome back Abba.... We have missed you very much......
P.S. You still have the magic.... 😁
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE
You’ve summed it up in such a lovely way.
Mary Anne: You are a great writer
How to make an older man cry? Play him a new ABBA song like this. Unbeliavable... I didn't think that this thing, ABBA comeback, can ever happen. But the miracles sometimes happen... Thank you ABBA for making my life better... That's not only perfect music, it is just an essence of life, emotions and truth... Can hear that music hundreds of times a day... Can't even stop commenting...
Me too

Yep - i cried too
Me too. So awesome to have the magnificent ABBA back with so much joy for us. Making us so happy.
I totally agree.. tears are in my eyes
My late mom who loved you'll so much will be smiling down so happy to hear this. This song has healed me. I love you guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Brilliant Abba, brilliant the voice of Agnetha! Abba❣❣ ❤💙💙❤
I strongly believe the rainbow-striped bifrost returned the Nordic gods to us. This music makes me so happy. It’s angelic, heavenly, rapturous. It’s a softer ABBA, ripened to perfection with tones and lyrics that offer us hope and healing in these dark times. I am extremely grateful. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊😊
Oh wow, beautiful comment! 😍
I agree with each of your words 🥰🌈💖💫
Well said indeed! The ray of light we all needed!
Yes, beside all the other levels the song carries the theme of being reborn or resurrected. Like a hymn. Amazing!
Heimdal has been looking kindly upon us
@@chrisspoohbear8903 Oh gosh, i love Norse mythology so much!!! 😍
This song is absolutely beautiful. Even after 40 years you can tell it’s ABBA. They kept the same style and that’s amazing! As a 35 year old woman I grew up with Abba due to having older parents so for my generation to see them it’s absolutely wonderful 💜
As a 35 year old you weren't even born when they first stopped ;)
@@DannX68 Yes I am fully aware of this. And?
It was just that "my generation"-thing. Made you sound like you were there during their heyday.
Genau so ist das ich libe ABAB
leute wtf ganz ehrlich AbbaVEVO ist so schlecht geworden, das hier ist tausend mal besser ruclips.net/video/kuighwB2b_I/видео.html
Their voices have aged gracefully.
My word.... I must have already commented on this.....how can you come back after nearly 40 years with such a glorious song? There are no words to express my awe or gratitiude......thank you Abba!
Only ABBA is in state to do that.
when i first heard the new songs i was like how can they make them on that level i was amazed
Pure genius. God bless them 😊
I'm literally crying. They've created a song which sounds exactly as if someone has taken it out of 80s! It's amazing, they still have that sparkle!
Crying here too. For days now.
Goose bumps...
70’s
It would have been more amazing if they had updated their sound a bit instead of imitating a 1980 record. They used to update their sound often in their career. Why not now? I find it difficult to understand why they wanted such a dated sound. I am not a Madonna fan, but she at least updates her sound often rather than just being an 80s nostalgia singer.
Bawling is more accurate atm
This a wonderful time, ABBA is back. The world has color again.
Abba makes this 70s brat proud and happy ABBAS BACK ,, Great stuff
I like the older, mature, experienced voices on this single. While the virtual "Abba-tars" will keep them forever young, there's a warmth to these older voices that I'm grateful ABBA chose not to digitally de-age.
It's incredible she's in her 70s and still sings this good❤
Listened to it about 30 times in a row now. Can’t stop. This the definition of a worldwide mega-hit! 😍🎉 Unbelievable, how they can sound exactly like they did decades ago and nevertheless absolutely fresh at the same time. What a composition and production. A league of its own. 😱❤️🎉
Same here. Right-click, activate repeat... 36 times now. It's great!!
Me too...🥰💖
Me too..i can't stop it..
I am right behind you in the times I have listened to this mega hit. I can't wait to see where it debuts in the charts
The same here😍
What ABBA did was to show absolute respect and loyalty toward their fans: Offering new songs that sounded fresh and yet, they retained their vintage trademarks. We are grateful that ABBA didn't try to measure up to younger acts, but just being themselves offering what they do best.
Yes! I love them!
This. If my all time favourite band did a comeback in 10 or 20 years, knowing that they're not as iconic as ABBA, I dream that they would come back with something to please their fans and give them the sound that made them unique. ABBA has done that. I'm not a super fan, but my first thought when I heard the new songs was that they could have been included in any of their albums of the 70s. That takes a lot of love for their music/sound, for their fans, and a whole lot of talent.

"Don't shut me down" is the last masterpiece of ABBA
now in my Top5 of all ABBA songs
fantastic song with all ABBA memories:
* glisado piano reminds "Dancing Queen"
* xilofon reminds "Mamma Mía" (marimba)
* solo intro and end with Benny piano and Agnetha voice, reminds "Thank you for the music"
the introduction with Agnetha is antologic
and what a power chorus!
and much power in second chorus, fantastic!
and the last minute... is absolutly extraoridinary!
Congratulations to
Agnetha Benny Björn Frida
the Fabs Four from Sweden
When abba was young they were terrific and wonderfull....after nearly 40 years later they have no difference in how great they still are! A step on another multiverse dimension!
The real ABBA sound!!! As if not a bit of time has passed. It sounds 100% exactly like it used to be, absolutely ABBA!!!
Hey. How do you like this version? ruclips.net/video/SA2KJzc5s2Q/видео.html
A 58 year old bloke here and these song have brought tears to my eyes. It's like meeting up with a long lost friend and discovering that age has not diminished them but they have flourished. The two songs are wonderful and especially "Don't shut me down". Can't wait to hear the rest of the album, if these tracks are anything to go by there are going to lots of very happy people out there.
❤️❤️❤️ i am such a happy 48 years old little boy right now. It's ABBA magic.
My feelings are exactly the same, tears in my eyes, i listened Abba very much as a younger, now 55 year old man,
The same happened to happen to me.
I am a 46 year old man, frowning like all Russians 😁, and I have exactly the same feelings from this song as you do. It’s like I’m back in my childhood, where my parents are young, I’m 5 years old and I’m dancing to Abba’s record. I'm crying
And here's a bloke who's just turned 60 last week. And yes, I could not have said it better than Mark Lewis. Goose bumps, tears, remembering Agnetha shaking my hand after a concert at the tender age of 12. Didn't want to wash it for weeks ❤️❤️❤️! So great to have them back and so great they evolved and dare to do something new yet still being ABBA. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm 22 and I love ABBA
after 50 years they still got it
Is it wrong for a grown man to be crying listening to ABBA. Pure magic. Welcome back ABBA this brings me such joy.
Depends on how young you are but even we the mid aged Abba generation kids are crying of pure joy, as if the lost link of past is finally been made with future
46 years old and i got tears...
Sentimental is the word..
@@juli8vdberg562 49. ABBA were my everything growing up. It’s like time has stood still. This is sooooo good.
@@sveneriksson7319 I’m 49. This is so ABBA. It’s like they never went away.
Of course it's not wrong! This is such a wonderful thing, tears of joy are definitely in order imho.
No offence but I’m 57 and crying. This took me back to a happier and more decent world. Thank you
I am the same, what a void they left when they split up all those years ago, it is like being reunited with old friends. This song is fabulous.
@@dragonfly6908 yea but few people realise they were not popular when they broke up in 82. They were a 70s has been disco band in the eyes of the early 80s youth when ABBA's heyday was a recent memory. They had a resurgence in the 90s and beyond but not the 80s especially in America. Also Agnetha went through a bitter breakup with her band mate so it all makes perfect sense why they did what they did.
@@jonathanclarke281 I think that when ABBA decided to split up it was because it was absolutely the right time for them to do so, i think they were heading for "burn out" and had touring fatigue. One unlikely fan of ABBA is the singer BONO from the group U2, he confessed that he absolutely loves them.
You and many others including me. Marvellous :)
56 and tears of joy rolling down my cheeks.
My favorite song from the Voyage album ❤
Listening to this song again, it makes me cry a lot. This song was released during a hard time in my family. My grandmother was diagnosed with cancer, I was lucky to travel back to Venezuela and see her and spend time with her one more time before she passed away. I love this song, but I can't help to feel emotional listening to it because of what was happening in our lives during that time. My grandmother loved ABBA as well, and sometimes to remember her I listen to these songs, because she used to play them from time to time. May you rest in peace, abuelita, y te amo mucho.
😢😢😢❤
Bless your heart ❤
My mother died 2 years ago and she was such a big Abba fan. She went to her grave with Abba. And I think she would be the happiest person in the world right now! I am the happiest person in the world for her!
Let's all be happy for her!
My mother loved Abba too, I played I have a dream at her funeral and it came true, love you mam and Abba 😘
My mother passed also 2 years ago.
I feel she's happily watching me listening to them.
Your mother would be listening to these new ABBA tracks on Heaven Radio,
She had a great child in you...and great taste in music...love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Arguably the most meaningful comeback in the history of music.
They never really went away... ABBA's greatest hits collection Gold is the longest-running Top 100 album ever - 900 weeks in the charts by 2019!
@@annietiquity2197 it's above 1000 now and the first one to do so
Most meaningful in the history of mankind of course 😉
@@annietiquity2197 Now in 2021 It has already exceeded 1,000 weeks!
poor conception of " the history of music"- PITY
After half a century the enchantment revives!❤
This is not just a song, This is a story
This song is fantastic!!! There’s no other band like ABBA 🤩

Daaaaa
I have listened to this song over and over for weeks before commenting. I was listening somewhat in disbelief, I guess. I think it is important to note that I am just a casual ABBA fan, not a devotee who knows every song, just the hits. Not only does this song rank among the greats, it does something those songs couldn’t. You can feel the love, hope, forgiveness, understanding. The grace, warmth and vulnerability. It is all in there. This is not a song that could have been conceived or effectively performed by a younger ABBA. It took time, it took maturity, wisdom, and ultimately love to make it happen. ABBA has once again shown us they are really about love in the most moving and powerful way. This song is a masterpiece. If they never sing another song, this is enough. This song brings it all full circle. Thank you ABBA; for everything.
Man, I couldn't have said it better ! All these emotions are in there, and they can only come from the wisdom that hindsight provides. And it's still as fun as what you hope to get from an upbeat ABBA song. They really hit the nail on the head, and I simply can't wait for the album, even though the only stuff I have from them are the greatest hits.
@@Cicilo1983 I've got Voyage on preorder. I never do that. I didn't realize it but all of their albums are on their RUclips channel. Every single song! Their new music has me digging into their old stuff and I like it! It has what a lot of music from today is completely missing. Fun.
@@gregbruns8442 I have a feeling that I'll be exploring their back catalogue in 2022. But not on RUclips - I like my music the good old fashioned way. ;) And yes, music is missing the "fun" element today - as well as melody, emotion, musical/vocal talent, creativity, originality and authenticity. There's still good music out there, but man, has it become difficult to get your hands on it !!!!!!!
I want to give you a big HUG & HEART emogi !! Very well said......I think accolades such as yours that come from casual fans have much weight to them. Thanks for what you wrote!
Your comment made me cry.
Ich hab geweint als ich die Lieder gehört habe, so brillant und ich hab im Leben nicht mehr damit gerechnet.
The chord progressions in this song ... seemingly simple, but so ingenious! Pop music as it should be. Thank you ABBA for all your music
Words can't describe how much joy this has given me.
Heiiiii :) How do you like my version? ruclips.net/video/SA2KJzc5s2Q/видео.html
@@gritbui9817 nerv
bonjour
What can I say... I moved to Sweden because of ABBA, I lived there for ten years and learned Swedish. I am now a professional translator from Swedish to Spanish, so I owe them not only the happy times I have spent listening to their music, but also ten wonderful years in Sweden and now, back in Spain, my profession.
Such a wonderful present to all your fans!
ABBA, thank you for your music!
Väldigt fin historia och väldigt fint skrivet!! ABBA is back!!!
GENIAAAAAAAA
@@henrichallman4828 Tack! Tänk att äntligen har det hänt! Den som väntar på något gott...
@ Wow... coolt att du bott i Sverige på grund av ABBA. Hade gjort samma sak 😅

And when the world needed them most, they returned🎉
The Legends forever🎉
a HIGHLIGHT to hear Agnetha Again one of the all GREAT singers just incredible
ABBA has OFFICIALLY come back to reclaim their throne as the BEST POP GROUP EVER. Once again, THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, ABBA!
Love, the WORLD...and specifically the USA here...and YES, we STILL LOVE YOU HERE TOO!
Pop stars in shambles
It's so heartwarming to see ABBA bring together so many people around the world. This song is also a new favourite!
So agree with you, their magic is really unbelievable
It really is quite a lovely display of humanity and shared love of music.
Totalmente agradecido, thanks ABBA for the Journey
An ABBA led Global recovery!!!
Just as good as their former works. Love Abba forever!
ABBA TAKE US HOME.........AND, NOW YOU SEE ANOTHER ME....I'VE BEEN RELOADED....can't wait.......JESUS....CAN'T WAIT.
And just like that - REAL music comes rushing back into the world. I feel sorry for any recording artist who dares to put out an album the same day that ABBA does on November 5th. The world will be busy enjoying their "Voyage". Welcome back, ABBA.
From what I know, being in the music business, many artists are scrambling to move their release dates as we speak. Even pressing plants are scrambling to press ABBA's vinyl records, since vinyl is not as prevalent. Many are taken by surprise as this has been one of the best kept secrets of 2021. But labels late their albums, so not as secret as one would think. It will definitely be fun to watch.
On another topic.....I would not say the words 'Just Like That' around ABBA or ABBA fans. That is a can of worms best left unopen. LOL. 😂
No swearing, no violence, no aggression. A masterclass for today's "singers".
Adele.....
I dont buy many albums but i will be buying the new abba album
@@rw8733 you are absolutely right. A wake up call for the 🌎 and today's pop music industry. We the audience deserve so much better 💗 ABBA 💗
