My Pepa passed away today and returned to the Lord, without really thinking I began listening to this album for the first time a few hours later. This song really moved me and gave me a sense of beautiful peace. I felt like this song was him telling me he’s alright and he’s finally found the peace that his failing body couldn’t allow for him. Needless to say for the first time today, knowing that he was truly gone, I actually cried quite a bit. Ani-Frid, Benny, Björn, Agnetha, your music has helped me since I was 5 years old and even younger. When I had no friends, I had you four, when I was bullied for much of elementary school your music helped me through it all, when I was diagnosed with mild-moderate Aspergers after having felt so different from the rest of the kids at school and the world your music brought me peace, when I lost my companion my dog Sunny who I had since I was about 4 your music helped me snap out of it and prevented me from descending into pure depression, when I got older and was in high school your music once again lit the way (along with the music of Frank Sinatra), when I graduated having made so many friends (rather I found a close knit family away from home) your music softened any sadness I had about leaving high school behind. So thank you ABBA once again for the music and for helping me through all the tough times, the critics and those people with their glass half empty can say all they want to say about you and this new album, but they will never take away what you did for my life, those around me, and everyone else in this world, your music is what drove me to fall in love with music and learn instruments/composition, so for that I thank you dearly. May God bless you ABBA, may God bless the ABBA fans new and old, and may God bless those going through the rough times in their life when they feel all alone, lost, and inconsolable ❤️🙏🏼🎶
i tell ya. when i hear my 87 year old mother in law, who is riddled with too much, sing along each time to 'of bumblebees' with joy and a smile so bright you could lighten the world i know there is still hope. thank you abba. what a gift. what a time to be living in the age of new abba music. whoever never stopped dreaming, like me, well done. our dreams came true.
I didn't think that at 66 years old, I'd be crying at such a delightful and simple song about one of our most important insects, but I am! Her voice is stunning, as are the musical chords and orchestrations. Beautifully performed!!
66 too, and ditto. Back in their day I used to say that Frida and Agnetha were two of the best female singers on the planet. I've no reason to change that now either. What a magnificent song about a very important creature in our world.
Be quiet. Each singer is wonderfully talented in their own way. Enough with the one is better than the other rubbish. And who's 'the blonde'? Her name is Agnetha. You can remember Frida, show some respect. @@wotangrafvonhohenfels4964
Abba, you are comfort music to my soul. Here I am, like I was at 14, listening to the latest Abba songs. All the years I've lived, some happy, some sad yet I hear those voices and it all disappears and I'm young again.
Dear Abba. With so much grattitude and with a humble heart. I am asking for you to stay and make more music than this Voyage album. Because we all think that you have so much to say and to give to the world! We all truly need you!
I'm 57 years old and have loved Abba all my life. But with this song they have truly reached new heights of greatness. It brings me to tears every time I hear it - which is often. Simply a musical masterpiece of the highest order. Wonderful. Abba - thank you thank you thank you.
I’m 59, Alan, and I think I know just what you mean. This is my favorite song on the album, and I don’t say that lightly because I love so many songs on Voyage. There are parts of this song, vocal passages, certain lyrics, that just give me chills. Thanks for sharing.
I agree with you 100% then I listen to another from Voyage... I really struggle to pick one from the set. They are all so well written, so well performed and so everything. Sorry to be a simp. But Abba really are that good.
@@silverascal and i'm also 60 guys and have felt the same way about this group ever since they burst onto the world stage in 1974 abbasolutely love them what a great time to be alive and cherish new music from this first class band. so grateful they came back and honoured their fans with new stuff. it's a great time to be alive.
Dear Frida, if by any chance you are reading this comment, know that you are very special to people of all ages, nationalities, genders. You are our comfort person. Thank you for having your voice again. Thank you for the music!
ABBA, yours was the first record I ever purchased. Decades later, you still find a way to touch my heart. Thank you for your music. This old gardener loves bumble bees. Stop with the pesticides, and plant native plants, y’all.
I mean, Friday's voice actually has evolved. It has become lower in register and a little bit more fragile than it was before. But we still get the same warmth and comfort from her, the way she conveys calm and warm emotions. It is even more remarkable to think that Abba had the courage to confront themselves in their 70s to the modern music industry and market, they could have been out of place and yet they sound so endearing and good!
Find a soon to be 76/year old that sound this way. Her voice is still noting less than amazing. It’s really insane to still sound so strong. Maybe the song is not for everyone, but you can’t deny the greatness of Frida
David...Same can be said of the other three, Hon. Bjorn and Agnetha, same-same, singers. Benny, same-same on the piano. Yes, Frida is great and so are the other three!!!
I can't get enough of Frida and her adorable accent. Her voice to me has always been like a friend coming to say hello. I hear is voice and I just smile inside and out. Frida makes my life feel so buch better when I am having a hard day.
The bumblebees is a favorite. Frida, is basically telling us to stop, breathe, open your eyes and see what in front of your eyes. There is a beautiful world and we are not taking the time to see the little things in life. Frida, voice was very emotional and really you could feel your heart wrenching. Thank you for reminding us to stop and seeing the light.
My child was born on the same day that ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo. You have brought joy to my life very much. Thank you, I love you.
Just listened to Fridas interview on radio 2.. she's amazing..love her...and she gives us hope by saying never say never to new Abba music...we can hope...
Sí! Es un himno épico! Los humanos hoy día somos esos abejorros🦟 intentando adaptarse, sobrevivir en este loco 🌎 mundo cambiante que pretende arrebatarnos nuestra LIBERTAD. Despertad humanos!
I fell in love with Abba in Jr High after hearing Eagle…what a delight is this song, allowing me to soar on the melodies again. “Thank you for the music, the songs” you’ve sung. “Who can live without it?” I could’ve, but why would I have wanted to?
One of my favorites on the album. I think most people are missing the elephant in the room. She's sitting in her garden, quietly observing the miracle of nature. Ever hear of this in this age? We needed this.. thank you Abba!
I totally agree, a lot of people haven’t quite realised yet that this is the true masterpiece of the Voyage album. It is truly remarkable and possibly the most beautifully sad song ever written.
i dont think its that easy since most songs of the album have clearly a personal meaning in terms of relationship and the bumblebee called "he" on default. i think it's again a metaphora. which I wouldnt like...wish it would be really just simply about a bumblebee
crying my eyes out. I've been a fan for 42 years and I'd never thought I'd listened to new ABBA songs again ! This one is a gem. Perhaps one of their best. Frida's voice is just amazing ! Thank you so much Agnetha, Björn; Benny and Anni-Frid for making our lives so much more beautiful.
Frida's voice is as healing as dozens of years ago. I can imagine the smile on her face singing this song. It reminds me of Fernando and Saltwater(1992).
Hi. I think that Anni-Frid, Frida Lyngstad is a person that as all people, has her own carisma and she is the other half of ABBA's voices. Each girl, despite the age has the gift of a voice that can be used on apprpriate melody. Can other singer do the chorus and Agnetha's background like her (Frida)?: Impossible! FRIDA HAS NO SUBSTITUTE! And of course, Agnetha is the best too; each in her voice type and range (Agnetha soprano, Frida, mezzosoprano). I can not imagine Agnetha being the leadvocal on "I let the music speak", "Andante Andante" and Frida being the leadvocal on "The Winner takes it all and" Slipping thru my fingers. Each has her charming and warming in her voice and projectiob of feelings.
@@markhare7574 Awesome Cavalier Spaniel! ♥️🐕 There's a story on The Dodo channel about a "woman who rescued a bee", they're such amazing little creatures 🐝
Been listening to ABBA since '73 when they were still "Benny, Bjorn, Anna and Frida" and their music has been the soundtrack to my life. From Voyage this track is my favorite! This track is so elegant in its simplicity and I love this (their) take on the global warming subject. Frida has always been an amazing vocalist and is sooooooo technically proficient as a vocalist that it boggles my mind. She is magnificent here and this song's simple lyrics paint such a picture. I can so see Frida sitting in a garden, sipping on a cup of tea and enjoying a beautiful day as she watches and listens to bumbles doing their thing. Those who hate this song can do so....but those of us who "see it" know this is nothing short of magnificent.
We have just returned from a 4800km road trip through Sweden (01 May to 16 May 2023). 5 days in Stockholm with the first visit to the Abba museum in Djurgarden. All the trip we only listened to Abba. Since our return I often have tears in my eyes listening to "Bumblebee". This song is a pure masterpiece. Thank you very much Björn, Benny, Agnetha and Frida.
"He is just a tiny fuzzy ball" - I am so grateful to Benny and Bjorn and to Frida and Agnetha for doing this special song! It should be official hymn for keeping all bees and bumblebees safe. To draw our attention to indispensable tiny things on our planet. A bee dies after producing as much as a teaspoon of honey, for us it is a teaspoon, for bees it is a whole life. I love ABBA!
Climate change has been effecting hives around the world for sometime now., With some bee species becoming critically endangered. Let's hope we can all play our part to ensure we never see the day we live without the hum of bumblebees.
@@gramophoneshane Climate change is natural. It's absurd to think that humans have had an overwhelming effect on it. Let's put it into perspective: one volcanic eruption can spew out more "greenhouse" gases into the atmosphere than the U.S. has produced in its entire history. Volcanoes have been erupting since the beginning of time, and the planet remains resilient and self-healing. After the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, the so-called experts claimed that Prince William Sound would never recover, and that the ecology of the region was destroyed forever. However, a little over five years after the spill, scientists reported that the ecosystem was back to normal. I'm not saying humans should be irresponsible. However, I AM saying that so-called environmentalists shouldn't try to force ridiculous restrictions on others based on junk science.
You know for the last 2 years, since learning they would have new music, I was afraid I would not live to hear them again! Thank you Im here and to last. (No Im not terminaly ill, as far as i know)
Something about her voice just makes my eyes well up.. with happy tears. And like many others, I never thought I'd hear new Abba music again and her voice on a new song and when the second verse kicked in, I couldn't help but get a little emotional realising how blessed I was to be listening to this song.
i've been a devoted abba fan ever since as a young boy i saw them first walk on stage in brighton in 1974 for their contribution to the eurovision song contest with their unforgettable winner 'waterloo'. who could forget their outstanding joy as they performed? who could forget their costumes? who could forget their conductor? abbasolutely {oh, oh here i start} love them and almost every song of theirs is near perfection. their musicality. their vocals. their harmonies. their lyrics {ok, sometimes there was a bit of doubt there, but hey i can hardly rhyme in my own language, never mind somebody elses}. i had all their albums, all their singles and therefore knew all of those obscure b sides that weren't on any of their albums and nobody else ever seemed to know. what a crazy world. i loved them even when it wasn't cool to like them, during that {now} brief decade or so when it wasn't cool at all. thank god that changed and people realised the quality of their music. thank god for karaoke where 'i have a dream' in honour of my beloved mum would be/still is my go to song to start off with. couldn't believe my ears when i heard the news back in spring of 2018 that two new songs were to be released. could this possibly be true or was my brother teasing me? couldn't contain my joy and excitement that the {almost given up on} dream was about to come true. and then after all of these years of hoping, and never expecting, the even more wonderful news that an album was forthcoming. the three years of delicious anticipation was worth doing over and over. reading on and on and on the comments {and in all of those delightfully different languages too, thank god for google translate} about all the songs and what it has meant to so many others has brought out so many emotions. i've cried tears of joy and cried tears of sadness too. how lucky are we to be alive today and listening {simultaneously} to new music from this incredible band? how unfortunate are those who are no longer here with us to not have the honour of being able to listen to them and read the joy that this music has brought to so many of us. this album is abba now and abba always. it's now and then combined. it's is a voyage beyond comparison. i'm so grateful for its arrival. their musicality. their vocals. their harmonies. their lyrics ... well ok a tiny weeny bit of doubt there still, {but hey my rhyming hasn't improved any in the last three minutes either, much less my basic and obvious attempts to incorporate a few of their treasured masterpieces}. i'm so moved that so many of us the world over has rejoiced in this true miracle. i didn't think i was the only abba fan left in the world by a long shot, but it sure is nice to get the feeling of such unity. they didn't need to do it, i'm just sooooooooooooo grateful they did. their fans around the globe rejoice. listening to these brand new abba songs around the world has united us like i never knew could be possible. what a glorious union, the likes of which are rare and oh so hard to find. reading the comments from around the world has been uplifting. i feel in touch with strangers. how great a legacy is that? to a wonderful group, to four wonderful people who are amazing apart but who have proven to be beyond spectacular as the foursome that they created all those years ago. you've helped make me the man that i am today. i don't even want to think of a life without my abba music. it's been a part of my whole life. what a group. what a moment in time to be alive. thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you {one for each of them, not my original thought but copied from another fan's comment} for the music. the world is a better place because of you. wow. you have a story, and it most certainly has survived. it transcends so much. it's almost beyond words. and i know they say that they never split before and i know that they say that this time is the last time. perhaps there is no doubt about it, yes this may well be the end. but i have a dream and it is quite simple ... i dream that they change their minds. from an ever loving fan who hopes that somehow these four incredible souls know of all the joy that this brings to all of us.
Literally one of the greatest songs ever created, the instrumental, the color palette, the melody, the beats..... Every single thing about this release was perfection in one of the best group releases I’ve ever experienced!!!!!!!
I have always loved the sound of both Frida and Agnetha's voices. Their soothing,melodic voices bring a flood of nostalgia for the 70's and early 80's. Where people found an escape in thier music.
We’re so privileged to live in a time where ABBA exist. Imagine never having heard Gods music. She’s perfect. I’ve loved her since being a child and I still do 💕
ABBA’s achieved the unthinkable in popular music: creating timeless pop gems while touching upon the most personal and public issues. This song is a great example of that.
I am from The Czech Republic and before we defected from there in 1980 to America,, my parents( still alive and kicking) played ABBAS first albums back in the Late 70s when I was still crawling around on my fours. Abba was always on in the house and during each sunny day I would always catch my amazing mother dancing to it in the living room while my father was at work and in between her preparing dinner for the family. And as I out grew my childhood and into my adult life 20s, 30s, and now Late 40s,, I learn about the history of the band to see what they're all about personally and professionally regarding the 4 members. And of course I listen to old Albums(CDs) and hear them on the radio here in USA through the years and nightclubs in Dallas,Texas. One club in particular was called DETOUR on Greenville Ave. TRASH DISCO SUNDAYS..... "Dancing Queen," "The Visitors," "Voulez Vous," were amongst the songs they played. So I am a huge fan of ABBA. This song, "bumblebee" is a beeautiful song indeed but for the kids, not for adults. It belongs in kids learning show like sesame street or something. It's just too childish for me. It's the lyrics! For me it is a big X for "bumblebee."
Woooowsie . Blew my mind with your voice as usual Frida . Agnetha too is so awesome. Loved and will always love ABBA ...been my fav group since a kid. Thank you so much for this new and fabulous new album ....at 76 ...please make plenty more albums for us die hard fans ABBA
No musical group has ever come back in such brilliance and genius. An amazing album. If only the Beatles had had a chance to come back for one more masterpiece.
There will never be another team like ABBA..They are truly unique & that's why they will go down in music history as the greatest song writers & the ladies as singers..simply the BEST!
O ja, wie war. So viel Poesie und doch so hinreißend schlicht und berührend , wie nur die beiden Abba-Mädels es singen können. Ganz grosses Songwriting.
This song is full of love. Love that this world 🌎 needs. Please, love each other and love all forms of life. This world is our ONLY home. We must protect it. 🙏
Adorabile Frida , sembra che tutti questi lunghi anni non siano mai passati ..!! La tua ancora splendida voce mi riporta agli anni della nostra gioventu....! Grazie
ABBA music, lyrics, and voices are medicine to heal the soul. The more I listen to this album the more I fall in love with it. Thanks ABBA for giving us this gift.
I'm a retired wildlife biologist. I worked for 35 years trying to mitigate the damage our civilization is doing to the natural world, and trying to conserve just a little bit of that natural world for future generations to enjoy. This wonderful little song so perfectly expresses the very simple enjoyment and appreciation of the natural world that I wish all people would experience. Maybe then they would care a little bit more about what is so quickly disappearing.
Commento stupendo... purtroppo al mondo ancora adesso ce gente malata di mente che gli piace fare la guerra . Sarebbe stato così bello vivere nella natura in santa Pace, come dice la canzone...! Ciao
@Messenger Charles I have, but few voices have little power. Who needs to tell the government the right thing to do are voters, in great numbers, to counter the money Ag and development interests use to get what they want from government.
I just want to express what ABBA is to me. When I was a kid I had an ABBA CD, I didn't know what they looked like, I didn't know where they were from, I didn't understand the language in which the songs were sung, but when I played the CD it became magic in my poor childhood. I'm 30 years old now and ABBA hasn't released a new album in my entire life. They have always been a gift from the past to me. ABBA are not a band they are a part of our lives.
What a beautiful message you expressed....they wete a part of pur lives then....just as they are now...lets enjoy them...because they say this is the last
This Bumblebee song is absolutely brilliant, beautiful music, and combined with the lyrics, surely melts the coldest heart. I love this video, love it, love it, love it.
I have never seen the flutes, pipes and some other instruments for mouth in ABBA songs. I am very a super fan of ABBA. When I was 9, I started listening to your songs
THE WORLD NEEDS MUSIC WITH HEART; SOUL AND INTELLIGENCE...ABBA gIve it to the world.....NUMBER ONE ALL OVER THE WORLD.....tears of joy.....may the bumblebee fly for a long time and many the ODE TO FREEDOM reach the world as IMAGINE does.....the world is sick....and ABBA gIve us love and inspiration with music.....THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC
this is beautiful song with deep meaning. Its not just about bumblebee, its about us, as part of nature and as we should take care of each other. We are all Earth children and our own survival depends upon protecting our environment.
I heared that song round about 1.000 times and every time my tears are flowing......Thank you very very much, dear ABBA, for all the wonderfull feelings all over the years.......
![Digital Circus Episode 4 [TRAILER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/abZtsmMUbJo/mqdefault.jpg)
Frida´s warm voice is perfect for this beautiful lyrics.. Sounds like classic ABBA
I believe that if God sent down 2 angels to sing for us they would sound just like Frida and Agnetha. Simply amazing!!!!
I really don’t know what to say. Abba just gets better and better. Age seems to be no barrier. They are just fantastic.
Oh God... I Heard angels singing a kind of sweet hymn. It was perfect. It fullfiled My heart and soul. ABBA is the Best group ever

Of all the songs on 'Voyage', I find myself listening to this one the most. So pretty, and Frida's voice so comforting.
ditto
I don't think I will ever again watch a bee in a garden, and not think of this beautifully written and sung ballad. Just another ABBA masterpiece.
Reminds me of need for conservation
I didn't think that at 66 years old, I'd be crying at such a delightful and simple song about one of our most important insects, but I am! Her voice is stunning, as are the musical chords and orchestrations. Beautifully performed!!
I'm 63. I cried my eyes out...
In this song Frida gave us an example of tender and passion for an insect that is part of our dairy life. Bravo, Frida!
66 too, and ditto. Back in their day I used to say that Frida and Agnetha were two of the best female singers on the planet. I've no reason to change that now either. What a magnificent song about a very important creature in our world.
I am 23 and me too. 💚
I cried too at this wonderful song,with a strong and sad message!
Frida's voice is like liquid gold..at 75?? just amazing. love them
Ja Frida ist die Schönste und die mit der besten Stimme. Als Kind dachte ich noch, die Blonde sei die beste. Weit gefehlt.

A beautiful graceful insect deserves a beautiful song and here it is. The pipes so remind me of Fernando. Absolute classic 🐝
I can't get enough of Frida and her adorable accent. Her voice to me has always been like a friend coming to say hello. I hear is voice and I just smile inside and out. Frida makes my life feel so buch better when I am having a hard day.
The same for me! It’s been so great to see her in the recent news, too. She sang 5-seconds of “Mamma Mia” in a news clip, just so cool!
The bumblebees is a favorite. Frida, is basically telling us to stop, breathe, open your eyes and see what in front of your eyes. There is a beautiful world and we are not taking the time to see the little things in life.

I was born in 1966, and if I hear this song ~ so I mean I am back in the 70s....😀👍😀
@Darragh O'Shea I'd say Waterloo is overrated. There are so many better songs from Abba...
Born in 77. My early childhood was full of ABBA because my dad was a hugh fan und so I became one too. Thank you for all the music.
My mom was born that same year 😀
Frida's lead vocals are still flawless. Thank you all so much.

A deep social message for nature in this ABBA song .
God bless to all the ABBA members forever .
So smart of ABBA to produce the album in the way they did. Different tastes in people but everyone finds their golden grain on the album.
A seemingly simple song (innocently child like wonder) with deep meaning wrapped up in beautiful classical music...the magic of ABBA!!!
@@SkylerBorg-bw4lx Beautiful comment! My feelings too.
ABBA can write a song about an insect and make it feel like an epic anthem.
Sí! Es un himno épico! Los humanos hoy día somos esos abejorros🦟 intentando adaptarse, sobrevivir en este loco 🌎 mundo cambiante que pretende arrebatarnos nuestra LIBERTAD. Despertad humanos!
Exactly - it does feel epic.
Only them
It's so good
A important insect
Voyage is destined to remain in the soul. A masterpiece with divine music, defining the highest level of music of our time.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful melodies they have ever written. And Frida's delivery is beyond majestic.
I fell in love with Abba in Jr High after hearing Eagle…what a delight is this song, allowing me to soar on the melodies again. “Thank you for the music, the songs” you’ve sung. “Who can live without it?” I could’ve, but why would I have wanted to?
Must be my favorite from the album.. just in love with Frida’s voice 😍
Moving tribute to nature sung to perfection by Frida. In 200 years' time people will still be listening to ABBA
One of my favorites on the album. I think most people are missing the elephant in the room. She's sitting in her garden, quietly observing the miracle of nature. Ever hear of this in this age? We needed this.. thank you Abba!
Aye
I totally agree, a lot of people haven’t quite realised yet that this is the true masterpiece of the Voyage album. It is truly remarkable and possibly the most beautifully sad song ever written.
i dont think its that easy since most songs of the album have clearly a personal meaning in terms of relationship and the bumblebee called "he" on default. i think it's again a metaphora. which I wouldnt like...wish it would be really just simply about a bumblebee
remembering Fernando and the Piper....medicine for the souls....speechless :)
Thank you ABBA !
I'm blown away by this beautiful album. The maturity of their beautiful voices after 40 years
crying my eyes out. I've been a fan for 42 years and I'd never thought I'd listened to new ABBA songs again ! This one is a gem. Perhaps one of their best. Frida's voice is just amazing ! Thank you so much Agnetha, Björn; Benny and Anni-Frid for making our lives so much more beautiful.
As though he only stayed awhile for a chat, my secrets he learned, leaving no stone unturned
Here one more.
Nice name........I shed a lot of tears too...............yess ABBA was for a lot of us a big lifeline
Me too...58 here.
@@awm8221 just like that
Fridas voice is just stunning,ABBA is a gift to the world and to the world of music
Frida's voice is as healing as dozens of years ago. I can imagine the smile on her face singing this song. It reminds me of Fernando and Saltwater(1992).
Это потрясающе
Id like to think this was one of her favourite recordings . I think she was an active environmentalist.
This album just proves how good ABBA were and still are and always will be
Frida is a beautiful gift to music like a gentle breeze just like the humble bumblebee is to nature. amazing.
Hi. I think that Anni-Frid, Frida Lyngstad is a person that as all people, has her own carisma and she is the other half of ABBA's voices. Each girl, despite the age has the gift of a voice that can be used on apprpriate melody. Can other singer do the chorus and Agnetha's background like her (Frida)?: Impossible! FRIDA HAS NO SUBSTITUTE! And of course, Agnetha is the best too; each in her voice type and range (Agnetha soprano, Frida, mezzosoprano). I can not imagine Agnetha being the leadvocal on "I let the music speak", "Andante Andante" and Frida being the leadvocal on "The Winner takes it all and" Slipping thru my fingers. Each has her charming and warming in her voice and projectiob of feelings.
@@marcossosa1030 so true.
@@markhare7574 Awesome Cavalier Spaniel! ♥️🐕
There's a story on The Dodo channel about a "woman who rescued a bee", they're such amazing little creatures 🐝
@@marcossosa1030 well said! Don´t compare them. They are each in her own way the best.And together the magic two!
Hearing Frida sing this song, it is hard to believe she is not far younger, but she turns 76 today. Happy Birthday, Frida. :)
Her birthday was on November 15th, not on December 15th. 🙂
@@Lisa-M Ah yes, my mistake. I think I saw the date as the 15th but failed to notice the month. 🙂
Only ABBA could compose and sing a song like this. Wonderful words and lyrics sung by the best group ever.
Been listening to ABBA since '73 when they were still "Benny, Bjorn, Anna and Frida" and their music has been the soundtrack to my life. From Voyage this track is my favorite! This track is so elegant in its simplicity and I love this (their) take on the global warming subject.
Frida has always been an amazing vocalist and is sooooooo technically proficient as a vocalist that it boggles my mind. She is magnificent here and this song's simple lyrics paint such a picture. I can so see Frida sitting in a garden, sipping on a cup of tea and enjoying a beautiful day as she watches and listens to bumbles doing their thing.
Those who hate this song can do so....but those of us who "see it" know this is nothing short of magnificent.
Well said. Thank you.
I hope the bees go on forever and ever,I wouldn’t like to imagine a world without them,busy 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝
We have just returned from a 4800km road trip through Sweden (01 May to 16 May 2023). 5 days in Stockholm with the first visit to the Abba museum in Djurgarden. All the trip we only listened to Abba. Since our return I often have tears in my eyes listening to "Bumblebee". This song is a pure masterpiece. Thank you very much Björn, Benny, Agnetha and Frida.
"He is just a tiny fuzzy ball" - I am so grateful to Benny and Bjorn and to Frida and Agnetha for doing this special song! It should be official hymn for keeping all bees and bumblebees safe. To draw our attention to indispensable tiny things on our planet.
A bee dies after producing as much as a teaspoon of honey, for us it is a teaspoon, for bees it is a whole life. I love ABBA!
Climate change has been effecting hives around the world for sometime now., With some bee species becoming critically endangered. Let's hope we can all play our part to ensure we never see the day we live without the hum of bumblebees.
thats why I dont eat honey, we even take their hard earned work away... I hope more ethical bee keepers take only a fraction,
Absolutely agree with you thank you ABBA for sending a vital message through a magnificent song.👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Как здорово знать о чем песня. Я к сожалению знаю английский на уровне начальной школы.
@@gramophoneshane Climate change is natural. It's absurd to think that humans have had an overwhelming effect on it. Let's put it into perspective: one volcanic eruption can spew out more "greenhouse" gases into the atmosphere than the U.S. has produced in its entire history. Volcanoes have been erupting since the beginning of time, and the planet remains resilient and self-healing. After the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, the so-called experts claimed that Prince William Sound would never recover, and that the ecology of the region was destroyed forever. However, a little over five years after the spill, scientists reported that the ecosystem was back to normal.
I'm not saying humans should be irresponsible. However, I AM saying that so-called environmentalists shouldn't try to force ridiculous restrictions on others based on junk science.
I can’t believe I’m living this moment, ABBA just post a new song and I’m listening to it 🥺🥺🥺
feels so unreal but also so good, doesn't it?
This feels so magical, i feel like i travelled back in time
I know right? Feels like a dream, after all... what a good moment to be alive
There are a few more. It feels so unreal but it is real
You know for the last 2 years, since learning they would have new music, I was afraid I would not live to hear them again! Thank you Im here and to last. (No Im not terminaly ill, as far as i know)
Something about her voice just makes my eyes well up.. with happy tears. And like many others, I never thought I'd hear new Abba music again and her voice on a new song and when the second verse kicked in, I couldn't help but get a little emotional realising how blessed I was to be listening to this song.
i've been a devoted abba fan ever since as a young boy i saw them first walk on stage in brighton in 1974 for their contribution to the eurovision song contest with their unforgettable winner 'waterloo'.
who could forget their outstanding joy as they performed?
who could forget their costumes? who could forget their conductor?
abbasolutely {oh, oh here i start} love them and almost every song of theirs is near perfection.
their musicality. their vocals. their harmonies. their lyrics {ok, sometimes there was a bit of doubt there, but hey i can hardly rhyme in my own language, never mind somebody elses}.
i had all their albums, all their singles and therefore knew all of those obscure b sides that weren't on any of their albums and nobody else ever seemed to know. what a crazy world.
i loved them even when it wasn't cool to like them, during that {now} brief decade or so when it wasn't cool at all.
thank god that changed and people realised the quality of their music.
thank god for karaoke where 'i have a dream' in honour of my beloved mum would be/still is my go to song to start off with.
couldn't believe my ears when i heard the news back in spring of 2018 that two new songs were to be released.
could this possibly be true or was my brother teasing me?
couldn't contain my joy and excitement that the {almost given up on} dream was about to come true.
and then after all of these years of hoping, and never expecting, the even more wonderful news that an album was forthcoming.
the three years of delicious anticipation was worth doing over and over.
reading on and on and on the comments {and in all of those delightfully different languages too, thank god for google translate} about all the songs and what it has meant to so many others has brought out so many emotions. i've cried tears of joy and cried tears of sadness too.
how lucky are we to be alive today and listening {simultaneously} to new music from this incredible band?
how unfortunate are those who are no longer here with us to not have the honour of being able to listen to them and read the joy that this music has brought to so many of us.
this album is abba now and abba always. it's now and then combined. it's is a voyage beyond comparison. i'm so grateful for its arrival.
their musicality. their vocals. their harmonies. their lyrics ... well ok a tiny weeny bit of doubt there still, {but hey my rhyming hasn't improved any in the last three minutes either, much less my basic and obvious attempts to incorporate a few of their treasured masterpieces}.
i'm so moved that so many of us the world over has rejoiced in this true miracle. i didn't think i was the only abba fan left in the world by a long shot, but it sure is nice to get the feeling of such unity.
they didn't need to do it, i'm just sooooooooooooo grateful they did. their fans around the globe rejoice.
listening to these brand new abba songs around the world has united us like i never knew could be possible.
what a glorious union, the likes of which are rare and oh so hard to find.
reading the comments from around the world has been uplifting.
i feel in touch with strangers. how great a legacy is that?
to a wonderful group, to four wonderful people who are amazing apart but who have proven to be beyond spectacular as the foursome that they created all those years ago.
you've helped make me the man that i am today. i don't even want to think of a life without my abba music. it's been a part of my whole life.
what a group. what a moment in time to be alive.
thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you {one for each of them, not my original thought but copied from another fan's comment} for the music.
the world is a better place because of you. wow.
you have a story, and it most certainly has survived. it transcends so much. it's almost beyond words.
and i know they say that they never split before and i know that they say that this time is the last time.
perhaps there is no doubt about it, yes this may well be the end.
but i have a dream and it is quite simple ... i dream that they change their minds.
from an ever loving fan who hopes that somehow these four incredible souls know of all the joy that this brings to all of us.
What a Miracle. Abba, I never stoped loving you!
I love ABBA and have for 45 years!!
True angels 😇 😇😇😇!!
Love you ABBA forever!!
Literally one of the greatest songs ever created, the instrumental, the color palette, the melody, the beats..... Every single thing about this release was perfection in one of the best group releases I’ve ever experienced!!!!!!!
I have always loved the sound of both Frida and Agnetha's voices. Their soothing,melodic voices bring a flood of nostalgia for the 70's and early 80's. Where people found an escape in thier music.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written!!
I am thinking is this the most beautiful song ever recorded in the whole history of recorded music
A masterpiece! Frida certainly does this beautiful song justice. Amazing vocal.
Amazing album from start to finish. Welcome back ABBA, we missed you.
This is not just a song. This is magic and poetry sung by an angel
Like an angel passing through my room!
Amen!
Come on!! Such a silly comment
We’re so privileged to live in a time where ABBA exist. Imagine never having heard Gods music. She’s perfect. I’ve loved her since being a child and I still do 💕
Well said !!! :-)
ABBA’s achieved the unthinkable in popular music: creating timeless pop gems while touching upon the most personal and public issues.
This song is a great example of that.
Thank god for ABBA in these dark times.
The greatest historical comeback ever in musical world
yep/ indeed.
Of course ....fantastic
The Beatles never got this chance but ABBA has and that’s worth everything
Pfffff ahahahahhaahah
I am from The Czech Republic and before we defected from there in 1980 to America,, my parents( still alive and kicking) played ABBAS first albums back in the Late 70s when I was still crawling around on my fours. Abba was always on in the house and during each sunny day I would always catch my amazing mother dancing to it in the living room while my father was at work and in between her preparing dinner for the family. And as I out grew my childhood and into my adult life 20s, 30s, and now Late 40s,, I learn about the history of the band to see what they're all about personally and professionally regarding the 4 members. And of course I listen to old Albums(CDs) and hear them on the radio here in USA through the years and nightclubs in Dallas,Texas. One club in particular was called DETOUR on Greenville Ave. TRASH DISCO SUNDAYS..... "Dancing Queen," "The Visitors," "Voulez Vous," were amongst the songs they played. So I am a huge fan of ABBA. This song, "bumblebee" is a beeautiful song indeed but for the kids, not for adults. It belongs in kids learning show like sesame street or something. It's just too childish for me. It's the lyrics! For me it is a big X for "bumblebee."
LONG LIVE ABBA! Pure music geniuses...we need their heavenly world to escape from our mediocre one !!!
This is perhaps the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. Thank you Abba
It’s just wonderful that ABBA’s doing something for this planet before they pass
Woooowsie . Blew my mind with your voice as usual Frida . Agnetha too is so awesome. Loved and will always love ABBA ...been my fav group since a kid. Thank you so much for this new and fabulous new album ....at 76 ...please make plenty more albums for us die hard fans ABBA
Fridas melodic tone and pipe style voice with agnethas light and bright touch...perfect 👌
Feeling sad for my friends who never got to listen to these magical voices again.
A moving velvet performance filled up with beauty and flavoured with disarming tenderness.Hats off.VOYAGE is such a special album.Thank you.
As carefree as a bumblebee, beautiful sentiment. Wish the world was pure as honey.
No musical group has ever come back in such brilliance and genius. An amazing album. If only the Beatles had had a chance to come back for one more masterpiece.
God bless you Frida...wonderful song about such graceful creatures ❤️
There will never be another team like ABBA..They are truly unique & that's why they will go down in music history as the greatest song writers & the ladies as singers..simply the BEST!
i agree. Some will say the beatles are the greatest band of all time but i disagree.
O ja, wie war. So viel Poesie und doch so hinreißend schlicht und berührend , wie nur die beiden Abba-Mädels es singen können. Ganz grosses Songwriting.
This song is full of love. Love that this world 🌎 needs.
Please, love each other and love all forms of life. This world is our ONLY home. We must protect it. 🙏
Adorabile Frida , sembra che tutti questi lunghi anni non siano mai passati ..!! La tua ancora splendida voce mi riporta agli anni della nostra gioventu....! Grazie
This song makes me miss people I don't even know. So stunning. The intro has a hint of Fernando. What a voice Frida!
ABBA music, lyrics, and voices are medicine to heal the soul. The more I listen to this album the more I fall in love with it. Thanks ABBA for giving us this gift.
So true
I'm a retired wildlife biologist. I worked for 35 years trying to mitigate the damage our civilization is doing to the natural world, and trying to conserve just a little bit of that natural world for future generations to enjoy. This wonderful little song so perfectly expresses the very simple enjoyment and appreciation of the natural world that I wish all people would experience. Maybe then they would care a little bit more about what is so quickly disappearing.
Commento stupendo... purtroppo al mondo ancora adesso ce gente malata di mente che gli piace fare la guerra . Sarebbe stato così bello vivere nella natura in santa Pace, come dice la canzone...! Ciao
So true, and thankyou for your work sir ! .🌈💚. + May ABBA just bring us smiles 😉💕💕.
@Messenger Charles I have, but few voices have little power. Who needs to tell the government the right thing to do are voters, in great numbers, to counter the money Ag and development interests use to get what they want from government.
@@Mrjohnboy1965 Maybe it was a kind of meditation you did. It seems you value nature. You are able to return to innocence as the song goes.
Without the bee we are...dead! I love Nature and ....Abba ..since '74 ,they are ...my dream!
Damn! I ain't sposed to cry when a long awaited album comes out! 😫
Only Abba could write a song as beautiful and appropriate as this and sing it as gracefully as this Thank you for the music Abba!.
Benny, a true genius on the keyboards...
I just want to express what ABBA is to me. When I was a kid I had an ABBA CD, I didn't know what they looked like, I didn't know where they were from, I didn't understand the language in which the songs were sung, but when I played the CD it became magic in my poor childhood. I'm 30 years old now and ABBA hasn't released a new album in my entire life. They have always been a gift from the past to me. ABBA are not a band they are a part of our lives.
I identify myself with your experience, I actually learnt English because of them ☺️
That's a lovely memory! What cd did you have?
Beautifully expressed.
Que coisa linda!
What a beautiful message you expressed....they wete a part of pur lives then....just as they are now...lets enjoy them...because they say this is the last
This Bumblebee song is absolutely brilliant, beautiful music, and combined with the lyrics, surely melts the coldest heart. I love this video, love it, love it, love it.
I have never seen the flutes, pipes and some other instruments for mouth in ABBA songs. I am very a super fan of ABBA. When I was 9, I started listening to your songs
.. and I wonder I we should have survived in our inner without your wonderfull voice❤️
The more you listen to the album, the more beautiful the songs get. Bumblebee has a marching song feels.
THE WORLD NEEDS MUSIC WITH HEART; SOUL AND INTELLIGENCE...ABBA gIve it to the world.....NUMBER ONE ALL OVER THE WORLD.....tears of joy.....may the bumblebee fly for a long time and many the ODE TO FREEDOM reach the world as IMAGINE does.....the world is sick....and ABBA gIve us love and inspiration with music.....THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC
this is beautiful song with deep meaning. Its not just about bumblebee, its about us, as part of nature and as we should take care of each other. We are all Earth children and our own survival depends upon protecting our environment.
I Just Love The Sound of These two Singing. Perfect harmony every time whatever they sing!
Where such talents come from??? Wowwww!!! simply beatiful!
What a stunningly beautiful song...and Fridas vocals are amazing.
Her voice in this song is unbelievably stunning.........at the age of 76!
I heared that song round about 1.000 times and every time my tears are flowing......Thank you very very much, dear ABBA, for all the wonderfull feelings all over the years.......
Pure classic you can hear a distinct signature of abba when both girls sings. What a blend. An epic anthem for the bumble bee
I set this song as my morning alarm : can you imagine any other awakening sweeter than this?
