    It’s absolute insane how good this is as a piece of music. Vocalization, harmonies, contrapuntal secondary vocals, instrumentation, arrangement, overdubbing and sound engineering - it’s all off the freaking charts. There’s no pop act or production team that could come close to producing a track this good nowadays.

      @smakfu1375 Месяц назад +15

      @@amac203 Because I don’t agree with you and I meant exactly what I said. Let’s be clear, I didn’t grow up with ABBA, and I’m not boomer. Most of today’s popular music is objectively corporatized, subjectively simplistic, crap. That doesn’t mean there aren’t talented musicians out there, but the major labels and production teams are exceedingly risk averse, which leads to everything sounding the same.
      You can pinpoint exactly when this became a problem: The 1996 telecommunications act, which deregulated broadcast markets in the US, allowing a small handful of large corporations to own multiple stations in the same market, across the US (previously, number of total stations owned and number of stations in a market were tightly regulated). In just 2 years, 6 decades of intense competition for market share was ended, as independent stations were bought up by large companies and the markets were segmented by demographic and music type.
      This led to market conditions where independent artists, smaller labels, independent stations, etc., simply ceased to exist. Those were the mechanisms that allowed “breakthroughs” and really interesting changes in the pop landscape. Since the late 90’s, the industry has become increasingly ossified, with the same dynamics extended into the online music arena: just a few collusory monoliths controlling the vast quantity of promotional effort and top-tier access to distribution.
      The entire major media complex is dealing with variations of the same theme: risk aversion, repetition, spectacle over substance and an objectively, and subjectively, measurable drop in quality. Much of this stems from too much control in the hands of a small number of giant (increasingly dysfunctional) corporations whose current business model is predicated on dictating what’s popular, versus innovation and discovery.

      @@smakfu1375 You are saying that of all the people in the entire world who create and make pop music, none of them are any good. This is a completely ridiculous concept. And saying any kind of music is "objectively" crap is idiotic. The reason that corporates make music in a certain way is because that is what sells, i.e. millions of people out there LIKE it. That's why pop music changes and it does continuously change, it's because taste changes. It's been happening since the dawn of time and it will continue to happen. In 50 years people will be doing the same song and dance you are now, but about today's music.
      But also, mainstream pop music is not the only music that is being made and to discount the talent of music producers who may not be part of a major label or continue to make music for the love of it is just laughable.

    I'm 61 in 2024, still love ABBA, and I always will as one of my all time favorite groups. My mom died on Thanksgiving Day last year from brain cancer, she was 80. ABBA was her favorite group, she was a huge fan of music like this. Now my Mom dances in Heaven as a Dancing Queen. So when I get to thinking about my Mom, missing her, I can go back in time and remember her by listening to ABBA. Thank you ABBA for being part of my childhood growing up with your great music, and helping me get through my Mom's passing. You are family to me. This coming May 12th is Mother's Day, my family's first without Mom. But ABBA will be there to help me remember Mom.

    The sadness at fade is almost unbearable. Have to play it again and again. How few artists there are that one can say that about. This is true of songs written decades ago. You'll never hear this on the airwaves again. Something very much missing from songs and lyrics today.

    • @Dustshoe
      @Dustshoe 8 лет назад +21

      You might have also said 'accessibility' for 'simplicity' because what I think you mean is that you IDENTIFY with the emotions, the looks, the sounds in this pop video. They are clearly true to life. The ladies' expressions are not forced or exaggerated. Abba represented sincerity in the music industry, in their actual art - and, that, paradoxically takes a lot of courage. That's as true then as it is now. Thankfully the Internet age came after Abba.
      However, a lot of hard work has gone into making this pop video and getting its look right. In the 70s, with only a few TV channels and terrestrial television only, no video tape recorders yet, limited broadcasting on only one or two weekly programmes, along with much smaller budgets, the desire to make something nice was paramount: but how genuinely connected young people were then because they had all watched the same channel, the same band or pop video the night before!

      And I agree too. This is my favourite ABBA song. Beautiful vocals, musical arrangement, bass melody and mixing is top notch. I just never tire of this masterpiece. ❤️👍🏻

    My divorce was finalized 20 years ago, and I was SO glad about it, but every time I hear this song it makes me cry. No one intends to end up divorced, and Agnetha did an interview where she mentioned that both couples tried to make their divorces as painless as possible, but it just isn’t possible. Benny and Bjorn truly are two of the best writers this world has ever known.

    I am listening for the umpteenth time to these ABBA songs from Nigeria. I will never get tired listening to them. I am in Nigeria relaxing,at almost 76years of age, looking back those good old days. Today is 18th Sept 2023. ABBA made our days as young students. ABBA still makes my day any day.

      They are Beatles-quality-esque. But Beatles had a more levelled tracks IMO. Their numbers on their later albums all had a similar quality. Not one or two hits and the rest lesser quality. The only band that has managed that album after album.
