We all cried a little bit mate. ABBA - TIMELESS, AGELESS & PERFECT. There has never been or will ever be a sound like ABBA. Pure JOY. Cheers from Sydney, Australia ✌😎
Sorry, it is not. Fans of ABBA seem to want to make more out of their meaning than what it is. Dancing Queen has been Hijacked and perverted the same way. A simple lyric about a 17 year old girl they want to turn into something else that it was not meant to be.
@@scottfarley3644 If you had heard any of the recent interviews with Björn, you would probably disagree. But your view is of course perfectly fine. It's just not mine. Oops a rhyme ... 😀
Such a beautiful song.. I cried like a little girl when I first heard it. Something so special about Abba's music. Thank you for sharing your reaction. ❤
Dude, I have been crying for days, every time I watch both videos. I believe that the song is about the band, but I feel it's a message to the human race. Music is a universal language, and they couldn't have come back at a better time! ABBA could have the power to unite the world, in a way no one else could.
I'm not trying to promote my page, but I made my first real talking video last night . If you are interested in watching (no problem either way, I'm not getting paid!), ruclips.net/video/KCLAubS5mJI/видео.html
Man I’m with you! I’ve never seen a band write a song that shows such gratitude to each other and to their fans. This is my new number one song of all time. Beautifully written and performed.
@@GivenToe How true! This is the (at least) the fifth time I listen to ABBA here at _GivenToe!_ I've listen to many a reaction now, but few are so endearing like his, giving almost more life/energy to them songs; Yes, I love this guy as I love the ABBA music. (I became an ABBA fan in December, so this is to me like it never was a long time in between. All of them are in a way new to me. Oh, how I love this. (Exscuse my bad English...) With gratings from Sweden. sᴇ
When the songs debuted, I was on a FaceTime call with a very dear, old friend of mine who has been a fellow ABBA-obsessive since our school days. Both of us just crumpled up and ugly-cried during this song. You would have been so welcome on that FaceTime, ABBA-brother. 💖
I'm 43 years old. ABBA has been in my life for as long as I can remember. Every time I had bad feelings, ABBA was there to make me happy. And now, 40 years after the last album, we have this song. I completely understand you cause I was in tears while watching your video. ABBA is unique and magical! Thanks for your reaction! Hugs from Brazil.
I have loved ABBA from their first song ever. This tribute to their life together causes us to reflect on our own lives and all that we love and cherish. It was a very touching and palpable. We need this kind of beautiful emotion expressed in this topsy-turvy world. God Bless ABBA always. ❣
I saw ABBA in 1979. I was 15. I loved them from then til now. I'm 57 now. They are extraordinary. I feel like the little child getting a new album. I ordered it in vinyl. This cracked open a very weepy side to me. I love these two songs.
I saw them in 1979 too! October 3, 1979 to be exact 😊 in Boston. I haven’’t been able to listen to either song without tearing up either. I was very excited like all ABBA fans were during the days just prior to the livestream last week, but, I never imagined a scenario in which I would be so emotionally affected and actually brought to tears by both songs and the fact that this seems to by the situation with practically every serious ABBA fan. It’s a testament to just how much of a force music (quality music) can have over people. ❤️ ABBA ❤️
I first listened to this song and I immediately fell for it. It's one of the best songs they've ever made. I am now 60 years old and have been with ABBA all the way. I still have their LP and cassettes standing in front of my old turntable. A lot has happened in 40 years for me and this song came at exactly the right time. ABBA shows again what legends they are, not only here in Sweden but all over the world. I'm moved and proud of them. Greetings from Sweden.
Nicht ungerecht werden 💔, ob nun Frida's Stimme hier besser zur Geltung kommt ( wie sie es sehen) WIR sollten uns immer vor 👁👁 halten 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️, besteht aus VIER Mitgliedern, BENNY UND BJÖRN waren und sind außergewöhnliche Musiker und Songwhiter, haben aus " ihren " Frauen das bestmögliche heraus geholt !!! 👍👍 Ob nun ANNA FRID LYNGSTAD ( FRIDA ) oder AGNETHA FÄLTSGOG ( ANNA ) ,jede der zwei Damen hat unglaubliches Geleistet 👌👌,da sollte man Nie behaupten, eine Stimme ist besser als die andere !!! 👎👎 Jeder darf seinen Favoriten haben, aber NIEMALS sollte ein wirklicher 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️ Fan behaupten, dass Frida diesen Song zum Tragen gebracht hat, auch ANNA hat mit ihrer Sopran Stimme ihr bestes gegeben !!! 👌👌 Für mich selbst ist die ODE TO FREEOM der beste Song aus dem Album 💔, als hätten die VIER SCHWEDEN schon damals bei den Aufnahmen gewusst, dass ein Krieg ( mitten in Europa ) bevor steht !!! 😭 Keine Frage, 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️ geben die Antwort !!! ❤️ 🥰 🫶
I have thoght as well that some of the emotions we feel when listening to these are because we are getting some kind of deep memories from the past and the feelings kind of wake up again. But that is just good and wonderful. It is just fantastic to feel very good or sob for joy in these cynical times :-)
I am a lifelong ABBA fan from Sydney. I will never forget freezing when I heard SOS on the radio in my Grandmother's room. It changed my life. Being from Australia, I lived through ABBA MANIA. It was So Special. 40 years on, I have never had SUCH a reaction to any song (save for SOS), but this time with "I still have faith in you" it's way bigger. I am weepy, always crying with joy, not believing it's even real. The images of the Australian Tour, the ABBA Plane, all the outpouring of love, and everything about this song is SUCH a trigger. It is a masterpiece and has come at a time when the world SO needs it. I really love your raw reactions to these clips, as well as your technical inputs. We are witnessing a life-changing moment in history & it is really demonstrating the power of REAL music and of this special group in particular. ABBA were technological leaders doing video's back in the 70's, as they are now with the ABBAtars, WOW
ABBA brings SO much joy and happiness to people. Even though some of their songs emote sad emotions, the songs at the same time seem to bring up so much happiness. Great reaction! Bjorn and Benny are geniuses. I´m glad I came across your channel. Love your style.
I have often told people-long before these new songs-that ABBA is the only group I can think of that can sing the very saddest of songs and still make me smile and feel happy while doing it. Now that’s what I call magic!
Being of Swedish heritage (parents both born in Sweden), it’s that accent that has always made ABBA just SO special to me! And hearing it now with their older voices, it’s even more so! 🥰🇸🇪
This American always appreciates their accents so much. One word in the lyrics where I notice it particularly is “bittersweet,” a word which captures so perfectly how this song and the reunion in general makes me feel.
Absolutely love this song Fridas voice is just so perfect for this song love ABBA always there songs are amazing loved them in the 70s n stil love their music today this song is awesome
Ann frid vocals are so on point and the Harmonies are so amazing and i think truly that Abba Comeback came on so right Time we needed Abba to get trough this Pandemic And i can not wait for the Album to come out and see them back on stage as Abba avatars and hear them sing again you Reactions are so heartwarming and we are all feeling it I hope The abba fans Come together and stream and download and get them in the top spots on the Charts that will be so Awesome for them and Us
Unfortunately the fans don’t stream that much. I bought the vinyl 7”, both CD singles but that is not enough for the charts nowadays unfortunately so I have both songs on repeat all day in Spotify. We should ALL do that and give them new number ones but in the second week they unfortunately are dropping down in the charts because we don’t stream enough. Drake now unfortunately rules the charts with his shitty music yakki!!! So I beg all of you who have Spotify premium: stream Abba’s new songs all day on repeat even with the volume turned down for instance. ABBA best group ever! ❤️ from the Netherlands.
Five days later and this is still a grower. The more one listens to it, the more the brilliant little touches and nods to past ABBA songs are in there. And OMG, Anni-Frid's voice. Fragile tenderness to amazing power whilst still retaining those velvety tones. It's a brilliant return and these two songs have actually entered the UK singles chart in high positions. For a group that has been basically inactive for forty years and generally has an older fan-base who are less likely to stream their music, that's an amazing achievement. They are much more likely to top the album charts and I'm sure they will.
Truth. The thing that is so fascinating about ABBA is that they produced brilliant songs, but they also captured our hearts-people of alll ages are just moved. Timeless brilliance.
I have been listening to both for a week several times a day....I just can't get enough of that or crying every time thing. I know we are sad because this the goodbye album and feel cheated because 40 years of no ABBA is more pionant and sad...n that's why we are all a sobbing fanbase.❤️
@@annemow hey. Take it easy! Just give thanks. All artists have their own lives to live, and their own lessons to learn. That ABBA returned at all is a priceless gift. They owed us nothing. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn that it had taken them 40 years to make sense of their extraordinary lives together (and then together-apart) back then, and come to terms with everything they’d experienced since.
Give yourself a pat on the back for bringing such a raw and unfiltered perspective to the emotions that we fans are all feeling. I do not have anyone in my circle that feels this way, so watching and listening to all the announcements was overwhelming because I had no one to share this with. My friends and family like ABBA, but I’m the one that had that raw reaction. It’s been so surreal and I’m finally at that point where it’s all real and exciting. ABBA truly is a bright light through all the shit going on in the world right now. So thank you for letting us join you and share this with you. I look forward to sharing this voyage GivenToe! New album and probably other surprises on the horizon. Let’s stock up on Kleenex! Cheers!
I'm 29 years old. Being Brazilian, i primarily speak Brazilian Portuguese. I grew up surrounded by LPs. Classics were the soundtrack of my almost 3 decades of life, and ABBA accompanied me in every step of the way. English, lyrics were not the main meaning of a song, but the emotions that transpired in each key, each intonation of each word. ABBA was there to embrace me when I laughed in happiness and cradled me and my tears in those endless nights, until i could fall asleep. Later in life i learned English. And those songs... they just got such a deeper meaning, the multitude of complexity of the human emotions declared in those words I now learned to understand. My first travel outside my home country? Will be next year. I'll see them in England. Because they had faith in us for 40 years. And I have faith in them, even when new spirit has arrive to keep them going, when they are no physically with us anymore. I'll carry their new spirit within me. I forever will.
Since these new songs were released RUclips has been flooded with reaction videos. I find yours to be one of the more honest, heartfelt, emotional reaction videos. The pride you feel in your homeland comes through. You are charming, straight forward and really have something to say, and you say it very well. Thank you for these 2 videos (plus the announcement reaction video which was outstanding and fun to watch).
If your looking for the Old ABBA sound, look to Don't Shut me Down. it's a fun song! But if your looking for background, feelings that have lasted and evolved over 5 decades between 4 people then this is the song! It's an Anthem of themselves and it's a question to themselves asking if they can still do this. Is it still inside them to project out and be done in a quality manner, or has time erased all that. For me? I am like thousands of others Yelling Yes! You can do it and you do have it in you! ABBA, Thank you for MORE Music.
At first listen I thought, hmmm...I get it, it’s their musical theatre side but not everyone will get it (they don’t) But when the chorus hit....wow! It is a message to humanity - We do have it in us. It’s a real grower, totemic. Everything everyone says is true. don’t shut me down though? That’s beyond stratospheric.
Right now they are on the german Amazon bestseller list at rank #1 Ltd. CD box, #2 CD, #4 Vinyl LP, #5 "I still have faith in you" CD, #7 "Don't shut me down" CD, #29 "Abba Gold" CD, and #38 with the "Voyage" MC. Yes, the music cassette made it into the Top 40. :-D
@@AnSe902 and I have many of my orginal cassettes bought when I were 20 - but I miss my Nachamichi 480 cassette recorder it didnt have any problem with the tape being sucked into the machine as with all other .They had some straitening the tape mechanism and Dolby C which took away the hiss - mostly
Mostly Agnetha has the leadvoice. This time its Anni Frids voice. Beautifully done and the color of her voice goes right trough me. She is amazing too !!!
Annifrid sang lead on dozens of amazing songs, but for some reason few of those were released as singles between 1977 and 1980. As a huge fan then and now, I never understand why and felt that she was short-changed! Hopefully ISHFIY will encourage everyone to explore their back catalogue (and then to agree with me! 😉)
@Herman Smeets - both Frida and Agnetha had a similar amount of leadvocals on each album. Benny & Bjorn made sure of that and many others were joint vocals. Agnetha’s voice was possibly more suited to the “poppy” numbers and Frida’s voice was adaptable so often used on their more complex creations that weren’t necessarily mainstream pop of that time. That said: ABBA had 9 Number 1 hits in the UK - Frida was lead vocalist on 3 of those and 5 were joint leads.
Agnetha is NOT 'the' lead singer. I get so tired of this myth. True ABBA fans know that they were BOTH lead singers, and equally shared doing lead vocals. Frida's lead songs actually had bigger chart success, so to diminish her impact in the group is just disrespectful
Abba music is timeless and unique. It’s impossible listen to this song and don’t feel it in your heart. We are all like you. It goes directly to your soul. It’s a gift in 2021 we can enjoy new ABBA music. Thank you for your beautiful reaction. ❤️
That one is a tear-jerker, isn't it? I saw their show in London in October 2021 (which the end of this video is from). It was one of the most awesome things I've ever seen!!
I've watched so many reaction videos to the new ABBA song releases - because this is maybe the most impactful music release of my adult life - and only your videos so far resonate with the emotional impact of how the songs hit me too. Thank you for sharing your genuine emotions about the return of ABBA - during this era of lockdown, I really appreciate getting to share in that sort of moment here.
I just needed one day to calm down and react on your emotional video. First of all thank you very much for showing us your emotions. I'm nearly 57 years old and ABBA were the heroes and the comrades of my youth, their music gave me strength and comfort when things didn't go easy. The highlight was seeing them live here in Germany in 1979. When they left the scene I was very sad, but growing older and turnig to other music. But I never forgot them and was very pleased by the revival of their music and also the appreciation they lately became concerning the high quality of their music. So I went very well and happy seeing Mamma Mia The Musical coming and later the movies. Then they announced their return in 2018 with two new songs and I rather went mad. The delays made me feel sad and in the end I doubted if they really will come back, but I never really lost faith in them. Watching the stream last weeks and hearing I still have faith in you made me cry so much immediately. I couldn't stop crying that evening and was very very touched. Watching young people like you in their interest and love for ABBA makes me very happy. Watching your videos about the new songs not just made me happy, again I cried a lot with watching you and I felt and still feel very touched. Thanks again and a lots of love for you from Germany♥️🙏🍀
Wanted to see how you would react to this one. The power of the emotions in the music and the lyrics is something else and your reaction says it all. Unfiltered delight. This is where your success comes from. Don’t change.
Hej I still have faith in you Is one of the most beautiful touching/heartwarming and sophisticated ballads I’ve ever heard David 💕 It’s got so much heartfelt sentiments within the lyrics the production the four vocals the whole heart and soul of ABBA is within this beautiful recording ❤️ Frida has got a voice that instantly warms your heart it goes deep into your soul and mind it’s can give you so many emotions joy sadness and happiness and all at the same time 🥰 Unbelievable but like many ABBA songs it’s a true emotional rollercoaster of a banger that keeps your heart pumping and for me the tears flowing 😉 Agnetha and both BBs just add that magical complicated unison and unique ABBA sound ❤️ Without a doubt it’s an absolutely stunning recording the long and emotional awaited song wee have been yearning for and Wow I’ll say that again Wow 🤩 did they deliver 🤩 A wee story 😉 I have been an ABBA fan since 1981 or 82 It’s so long ago now Haha 😛 So I’ve listened to ABBA for over 40 years but sadly in 2016 I lost my mum to cancer it’s was a shocker 😿 but not wanting to damper my comments I’ll be quick 😉 I stopped listening to ABBA as these songs gave me so many reminders and memories involving my mum it’s was her who gave me my first ABBA single who introduced me to ABBA so one way or another I just couldn’t bring my self to listen to ABBA because it became to hard and emotionally wrenching 🖤 But gradually i learned to cope ect 👍 So in 2018 when ABBA announced the new songs I knew I had to listen and would 😉 that September night 2021 was so so emotional like so many who listened to ABBA the first time in so many years it was so special and I had tears or joy but also of happiness I I have to say this is now my fave ABBA somg for many reasons if you get me 👍it instantly makes such an impact on your heart and soul you can feel the rawness and emotions in it’s entirety and for what it stands for Ps I’m back to being my ABBA old self specially since the new songs arrived it’s brought me so much joy happiness in more ways than one ☝️
Yeah this specific song truly is an emotional rollercoaster. It is very good, beautiful, and the lyrics really hit you. Im sorry to hear about your mom, that is heartbreaking. Now, you can at least listen tho their new songs, remembering her, honouring her memory 🙏🏻 Have a nice day Scots! 😊
"I'm fine." 😂 Watching your reactions gives me so much joy, you can't imagine. It makes listening to this music even better. You have a rare gift for communicating to others, and deserve every success in the world. Thank you for sharing with us.
I'm glad to see you truly love their talents and music. I'm so happy they have reunited while they have the chance. To those of us that have so many memories of growing up with their music, this is short of a miracle. We had been given no hope of seeing this. I'm grateful maybe they understood the meaning their music had on so many people around the world. Hang in there, I have shed my fair share of tears listening to these first two songs. And we have more to look forward to!!! ☺️
To hear those voices back together and the artistry in the music is just what we needed. They're back better than ever. Your reaction was exactly the same as mine. I grew up to Abba and to see your reaction just shows what they mean to so many. Thanks for sharing
Don't try to hide your emotions, or feel embarrassed if you cry. If a song moves you, let it. That's what it's supposed to do. Especially when you are a big time fan. I loved seeing how these songs touched you. ABBA getting back together and putting out high quality music after 40 years apart, is a definite occasion to get emotional. I know I have been weeping tears of joy and nostalgia. Thanks for sharing your fandom this way.
And they say people in the Nordic countries are cold... Kudos to you for showing so much emotion! My eyes well up every time I hear these 2 new songs. I was 14 when they split up. Considering that I grew up in the communist Romania, and access to foreign music back then was a luxury, I'm grateful I had the chance to grow up with their music. And now witnessing their historic comeback! It's such a treat. I cannot wait for the album to come out and maybe be in London next year to finally see them in concert (ABBAtars or not). Thank you for sharing your reaction with the ABBA community.
They have faith in us! I am overjoyed. I have held my faith in them since I was 12. Now 59, and having seen ABBA Voyage in London... how blessed am I?! Thank you for your public reaction. Yours is mine. Sending love from Melbourne Australia.
I‘m f…ing 58 years old and I had tears in my eyes, when I listened to that song first time. In our youth, we listened to Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin etc. But AbbA had a special place as well. In those difficult times it was what we needed. The comback of the century. I agree 100% The voices of the ladies brilliant. Of course you might hear the age, but it made it even more brilliant. About the music arrangement and the lyrics, there is no comment needed. For me it is perfect music.👍
This song brings tears to my eyes each time I hear it. I purchased The Visitors when in Trieste, Italy in December 1981 and, as usual, began my anticipation of their next album. I didn't know at the time it would be a 40 wait. But this song made it worth the wait. Welcome back ABBA! Huge hug from southern Alberta!
I bought The Visitors as well back then in December 1981. After that next year I bought double album The Singles-First ten years and much later, don´t remember what year, maybe in early 2000´s I bought 4-cd box Thank you for the music. But yes, 40 years of wait for completely new music, I did not think this would happen but was wrong :-)
@@anterooinas4334 Ya, a year later in Dec. 1982 I was in Huntingdon, UK when a radio announcer in London said there was a contest and he had 50 autographed ABBA The First Ten Years sets to give away. So I wrote down the answers to his 5 questions and sent in the postcard. Three weeks later my autographed 'First Ten Years' albums arrived. I still have them with the commemorative picture disks set of The First Ten Years I bought at the same time. I still have my two ABBA belt buckles. ABBA FOREVER!!!! Oh, and I too have the 4 disk Thank You For The Music set. Seems like we must be like twins or something. LOL!
You made me cry all the video. I feel the same the first time I listening to this masterpiece. ABBA are back, is the best news in the century....! Blessings from Buenos Aires!!!🤩👍👏🙏💫🎶🎵😘😍🇦🇷
Abba just has this way of firing up the full range of emotions in you - all at the same time. There aren't many bands that know how to do this, and Abba do this with unmatched precision. The Day Before You Came and Eagle are perfect examples for this and the new songs simply pick up where they left off.
I just watched your reaction again, after discovering you just after ABBA’s relaunch last week. (I must have listened to each new song about 100 times since then, and I have frequently found myself weeping!). Your reaction video made me weep all over again! Annifrid has been my “spirit animal” since I was 12, in 1975. Watching you cry upon hearing just the first few seconds of Annifrid’s voice on ISHFIY just validated not just my last week, but my last 46 years! Like many other people commenting on here, our enduring devotion to these amazing people who are ABBA is not typically understood by others. For me it’s a very deep personal identification with their inherent humble honesty and deep moral integrity as much as their phenomenal, stunning talent; and the way that their songs offer emotional transcendence. Just hearing A&A’s combined voices again in these stunning new songs hits me straight in the solar plexus. You described ABBA’s return as if guardian angels had come back down to give us all a gift of love and compassion and hope. You nailed it! There’s a deep spiritual significance to their reunion- for millions of us, as much as them. Well done!! 💐🙌🥰
It's wonderful to see, how much feelings a man can show "just" because of music. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Okay, this isn't just music. Its a very special atmosphere, which is transported by the song. It induces so much feelings and happiness. 😍🤗
Stay TRUE to YOU.... don't think too much about what to do- just be YOU. I came in on the "ABBA train"- because I cant stop playing Dont Shut Me Down which I first heard around my 60th birthday 9th September- what a birthday gift! I have embraced it immediately as my 60's theme- BRILLIANT just WONDERFUL- "The Spirit has arrived"- thanks ABBA for everything 🌍🌈🌠
I became a fan after Eurovision 1974 When I was 8 years old. I am so so happy that this comeback has happened . I’m still crying when I hear their voices after all this time . Great reaction x
I love you!!!! I love your reaction !!!! it's the first time I see you but I love you right away and of course I love ABBA forever .... love from CHILE
You're fast becoming one of my favourite RUclips reactors, my friend. Your really do wear your heart on your sleeve, and that's very endearing. You've become a big hit on ABBAtalk, the main ABBA forum on Facebook, so no doubt that will bring you many new followers. It's so nice to see that this 'second coming' of ABBA has moved you in the way it has moved so many of their fans around the world. Kudos to you from Scotland.
Their comeback has been hailed a triumph already! I love how you said this is real music! This is why ABBA will never have failed! And the avatars… OMG! They are fantastic and beautiful.. I cannot wait till November 5th!
Easily the best reaction I've seen to this song. Especially at the beautiful climax at the end when Frida goes solo...I could tell you were overwelmed with emotion. It's such a great song, but seeing you react to it made it even better in my book. Thank you.
Yet another 50 something guy, and I still can't stop crying every time I heart this and your reaction was so genuine it's great. Having been an adult for what feels like a long time, listening to Frida begin to sing, her voice was like being given a hug by my mum and told everything will be ok, it really is that big a deal. You do what pleases you on your RUclips channel, there's a reason people poured into your channel, believe me a million people did abba reactions, but yours was just a bit special,. If you find things that connect with your soul, then show us. You don't have to please everyone all the time, just be great at what you do and that will keep people coming back.
Abba is so deeply rooted in Swedish culture, history and the sounds and colours of Sweden. It's our nature turned into music. The melancholy is so Swedish, but with a hint of hope and joy. Like the white nights and the northern lights...
You are exactly right - this is the comeback song of the century. Unbelievable and incredibly emotional. You articulate perfectly how I feel. I’ve listened to it about 50 times and still get a lump in my throat.
In the darkest days when the world needed them the most…they came back to us
So true, I love them ❤
And we are all having a breakdown
Agree, They did this for us, the fans… Not for the money, not for the fame….
Agree completely. This is what we needed right now.
We needed them missed tgem so much
We all cried a little bit mate. ABBA - TIMELESS, AGELESS & PERFECT. There has never been or will ever be a sound like ABBA. Pure JOY. Cheers from Sydney, Australia ✌😎
Tears are flowing.
What a lovely song they are differently back their voices still the same❤❤
It is a hymn to humanity. Not only a reminiscence to the band.
We needed this desperately.
Well said! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Sorry, it is not. Fans of ABBA seem to want to make more out of their meaning than what it is. Dancing Queen has been Hijacked and perverted the same way. A simple lyric about a 17 year old girl they want to turn into something else that it was not meant to be.
@@scottfarley3644
If you had heard any of the recent interviews with Björn, you would probably disagree.
But your view is of course perfectly fine. It's just not mine. Oops a rhyme ... 😀
@@sulamithmaharaj5298 No, Your wrong. The song,,or any of ABBA's songs were not written for perverts.
I still weep with joy every time I hear this song. Frida’s gorgeous velvety beautiful voice is still so powerful. ❤️
Just the best and always has been!
How is it possible to create sound and music like this? This song is like made in heaven and sung by angels. Oh no, it is just an ABBA-song.
Exactly. Same thing ❤️
Greetings from Sweden, ABBA-land!!!
No one can do that quite like ABBA, and they still have that magic!
Really, It's like they never left
Such a beautiful song.. I cried like a little girl when I first heard it. Something so special about Abba's music. Thank you for sharing your reaction. ❤
same here i cried the first time i heard this song, abba fan here, i am so. happy they returned after 40 yrs, amazing
Dude, I have been crying for days, every time I watch both videos. I believe that the song is about the band, but I feel it's a message to the human race. Music is a universal language, and they couldn't have come back at a better time!
ABBA could have the power to unite the world, in a way no one else could.
I'm not trying to promote my page, but I made my first real talking video last night .
If you are interested in watching (no problem either way, I'm not getting paid!),

Ill take a look 👍🏻🙏🏻
Man I’m with you! I’ve never seen a band write a song that shows such gratitude to each other and to their fans. This is my new number one song of all time. Beautifully written and performed.
Its SO amazing!
Her voice is so soothing.
You are so endearing to watch…and now you know the tight bond of love among ABBA fans! You represent us well.
Thank you! You are the best.
SO TRUE
🙏🏻❤️
@@GivenToe How true! This is the (at least) the fifth time I listen to ABBA here at _GivenToe!_ I've listen to many a reaction now, but few are so endearing like his, giving almost more life/energy to them songs; Yes, I love this guy as I love the ABBA music. (I became an ABBA fan in December, so this is to me like it never was a long time in between. All of them are in a way new to me.
Oh, how I love this.
(Exscuse my bad English...)
With gratings from Sweden. sᴇ
❤️❤️❤️
When the songs debuted, I was on a FaceTime call with a very dear, old friend of mine who has been a fellow ABBA-obsessive since our school days. Both of us just crumpled up and ugly-cried during this song. You would have been so welcome on that FaceTime, ABBA-brother. 💖
Don't worry dude ,this song had us all crying, it's so emotional, they are telling us their story.
Right?
Their story involves
falling in and out of love and are still able to work together…Inspiring message for our planet ❤️
🙏🏻😍
😭🙏🏻
Yes, me too!
And we, their fans, are part of their story!
I'm 43 years old. ABBA has been in my life for as long as I can remember. Every time I had bad feelings, ABBA was there to make me happy. And now, 40 years after the last album, we have this song. I completely understand you cause I was in tears while watching your video. ABBA is unique and magical! Thanks for your reaction! Hugs from Brazil.
Thank you too 🙏🏻😊
I have loved ABBA from their first song ever. This tribute to their life together causes us to reflect on our own lives and all that we love and cherish. It was a very touching and palpable. We need this kind of beautiful emotion expressed in this topsy-turvy world. God Bless ABBA always. ❣
I saw ABBA in 1979. I was 15. I loved them from then til now. I'm 57 now. They are extraordinary. I feel like the little child getting a new album. I ordered it in vinyl. This cracked open a very weepy side to me. I love these two songs.
YES 👍🏼
I saw them in 1979 too! October 3, 1979 to be exact 😊 in Boston. I haven’’t been able to listen to either song without tearing up either. I was very excited like all ABBA fans were during the days just prior to the livestream last week, but, I never imagined a scenario in which I would be so emotionally affected and actually brought to tears by both songs and the fact that this seems to by the situation with practically every serious ABBA fan. It’s a testament to just how much of a force music (quality music) can have over people. ❤️ ABBA ❤️
Lucky you William!!!!!!
@@jerrycote659 I was there too 5th row. We drove from southern CT through a tornado to get there. Nearly 2 hours late, but they were 2 hours late too.
I first listened to this song and I immediately fell for it. It's one of the best songs they've ever made. I am now 60 years old and have been with ABBA all the way. I still have their LP and cassettes standing in front of my old turntable. A lot has happened in 40 years for me and this song came at exactly the right time. ABBA shows again what legends they are, not only here in Sweden but all over the world. I'm moved and proud of them. Greetings from Sweden.
Beautiful comments! 🥰
Well expressed. Thank you
Thank you Sweden for giving the world these artistic geniuses.
I'm 60 also, and the same as you-I've been with them all along. Legends!
Yes, it's truely fantastic.
Frida blew this out of the water! I always preferred her smooth rich voice to Agnethas high head tunes. Great song great reaction
Thank you 🙏🏻
Nicht ungerecht werden 💔, ob nun Frida's Stimme hier besser zur Geltung kommt ( wie sie es sehen)
WIR sollten uns immer vor 👁👁 halten 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️, besteht aus VIER Mitgliedern,
BENNY UND BJÖRN waren und sind außergewöhnliche Musiker und Songwhiter, haben aus
" ihren " Frauen das bestmögliche heraus geholt !!! 👍👍
Ob nun ANNA FRID LYNGSTAD
( FRIDA ) oder AGNETHA FÄLTSGOG ( ANNA ) ,jede der zwei Damen hat unglaubliches
Geleistet 👌👌,da sollte man Nie behaupten, eine Stimme ist besser als die andere !!! 👎👎
Jeder darf seinen Favoriten haben, aber NIEMALS sollte ein wirklicher
🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️ Fan behaupten, dass Frida diesen Song zum Tragen gebracht hat, auch ANNA hat mit ihrer Sopran Stimme ihr bestes gegeben !!! 👌👌
Für mich selbst ist die
ODE TO FREEOM der beste Song aus dem Album 💔, als hätten die VIER SCHWEDEN schon damals bei den Aufnahmen gewusst, dass ein Krieg ( mitten in Europa ) bevor steht !!! 😭
Keine Frage, 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️ geben die Antwort !!! ❤️ 🥰 🫶
When Frida holds that final "have" for half a second more it absolutely kills me. I'm like that 12 year old kid all over again in 1978.
Yeah its so beautiful!
I have thoght as well that some of the emotions we feel when listening to these are because we are getting some kind of deep memories from the past and the feelings kind of wake up again. But that is just good and wonderful. It is just fantastic to feel very good or sob for joy in these cynical times :-)
I am a lifelong ABBA fan from Sydney. I will never forget freezing when I heard SOS on the radio in my Grandmother's room. It changed my life. Being from Australia, I lived through ABBA MANIA. It was So Special. 40 years on, I have never had SUCH a reaction to any song (save for SOS), but this time with "I still have faith in you" it's way bigger. I am weepy, always crying with joy, not believing it's even real. The images of the Australian Tour, the ABBA Plane, all the outpouring of love, and everything about this song is SUCH a trigger. It is a masterpiece and has come at a time when the world SO needs it.
I really love your raw reactions to these clips, as well as your technical inputs. We are witnessing a life-changing moment in history & it is really demonstrating the power of REAL music and of this special group in particular. ABBA were technological leaders doing video's back in the 70's, as they are now with the ABBAtars, WOW
Awesome comments! Hi from a fellow 'veteran' in Victoria ;-)
Very well said!
ABBA brings SO much joy and happiness to people. Even though some of their songs emote sad emotions, the songs at the same time seem to bring up so much happiness. Great reaction! Bjorn and Benny are geniuses. I´m glad I came across your channel. Love your style.
Thank u 🙏🏻❤️
I have often told people-long before these new songs-that ABBA is the only group I can think of that can sing the very saddest of songs and still make me smile and feel happy while doing it. Now that’s what I call magic!
„The comeback of the Century!“ YES!!!!
Being of Swedish heritage (parents both born in Sweden), it’s that accent that has always made ABBA just SO special to me! And hearing it now with their older voices, it’s even more so! 🥰🇸🇪
Haha yes Frida’s and Agnetha’s accent when they sing ‘inconceivabUL’ instead of inconceivable is a brilliant example of her Swedish accent! Love it.
@@ruudjanssen3485 there’s a couple other places where the accents are more obvious (to me as American) but can’t give exact words now.
This American always appreciates their accents so much. One word in the lyrics where I notice it particularly is “bittersweet,” a word which captures so perfectly how this song and the reunion in general makes me feel.
Cheers from The Kingdom of Sweden🇸🇪
Absolutely love this song Fridas voice is just so perfect for this song love ABBA always there songs are amazing loved them in the 70s n stil love their music today this song is awesome
Ann frid vocals are so on point and the Harmonies are so amazing and i think truly that Abba Comeback came on so right Time we needed Abba to get trough this Pandemic And i can not wait for the Album to come out and see them back on stage as Abba avatars and hear them sing again you Reactions are so heartwarming and we are all feeling it I hope The abba fans Come together and stream and download and get them in the top spots on the Charts that will be so Awesome for them and Us
Anni-frid is the perfect singer, crisp, clear and jus little bit foreboding. Loved her since I was ten, I'm 50.
Unfortunately the fans don’t stream that much. I bought the vinyl 7”, both CD singles but that is not enough for the charts nowadays unfortunately so I have both songs on repeat all day in Spotify. We should ALL do that and give them new number ones but in the second week they unfortunately are dropping down in the charts because we don’t stream enough. Drake now unfortunately rules the charts with his shitty music yakki!!! So I beg all of you who have Spotify premium: stream Abba’s new songs all day on repeat even with the volume turned down for instance. ABBA best group ever! ❤️ from the Netherlands.
It’s the most beautiful comeback song - so emotional. Cannot cope - lovely to share my emotions with you ❤️
🙏🏻❤️
It’s the comeback of the millennium. Love your reactions. I went to Stockholm in 2015 just to go to the ABBA museum. It didn’t disappoint.
It is the comeback of two millenniums 😉
Thank u 🙏🏻😃🥰
A voz de frida linda como sempre! ❤
Five days later and this is still a grower. The more one listens to it, the more the brilliant little touches and nods to past ABBA songs are in there. And OMG, Anni-Frid's voice. Fragile tenderness to amazing power whilst still retaining those velvety tones. It's a brilliant return and these two songs have actually entered the UK singles chart in high positions. For a group that has been basically inactive for forty years and generally has an older fan-base who are less likely to stream their music, that's an amazing achievement. They are much more likely to top the album charts and I'm sure they will.
Awesome comments! You’ve perfectly captured Annifrid’s stunning, comforting, powerful and transcendent voice.
The more you listen to it, the more it grows on you, the sweeter it sounds.
Truth. The thing that is so fascinating about ABBA is that they produced brilliant songs, but they also captured our hearts-people of alll ages are just moved. Timeless brilliance.
I have been listening to both for a week several times a day....I just can't get enough of that or crying every time thing. I know we are sad because this the goodbye album and feel cheated because 40 years of no ABBA is more pionant and sad...n that's why we are all a sobbing fanbase.❤️
@@annemow hey. Take it easy! Just give thanks. All artists have their own lives to live, and their own lessons to learn. That ABBA returned at all is a priceless gift. They owed us nothing. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn that it had taken them 40 years to make sense of their extraordinary lives together (and then together-apart) back then, and come to terms with everything they’d experienced since.
ABBA is and remains an exceptional band! There's nothing more to say about that.
Give yourself a pat on the back for bringing such a raw and unfiltered perspective to the emotions that we fans are all feeling. I do not have anyone in my circle that feels this way, so watching and listening to all the announcements was overwhelming because I had no one to share this with. My friends and family like ABBA, but I’m the one that had that raw reaction. It’s been so surreal and I’m finally at that point where it’s all real and exciting. ABBA truly is a bright light through all the shit going on in the world right now. So thank you for letting us join you and share this with you. I look forward to sharing this voyage GivenToe! New album and probably other surprises on the horizon. Let’s stock up on Kleenex! Cheers!
Well said! I'm alone among my friends, too, so these reaction videos (especially this one) are my outlet.
Beautifully put!
I couldn't have said it better!
Perfect comments. Thank you! 🙌
Cheers and thank you 🥰🔥🙏🏻
Abba saving the world
What's happening? Just like ABBA, you bring joy to the world through your videos.
Everytime i see you in this Abba video you make me cry!!! You are so fantastic and give me emoticons,i love Abba music,and i love you thanks.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️
Magnificent ABBA. Unbelievable comeback after almost 40 years. They haven't lost their unique touch!
I'm 29 years old. Being Brazilian, i primarily speak Brazilian Portuguese.
I grew up surrounded by LPs. Classics were the soundtrack of my almost 3 decades of life, and ABBA accompanied me in every step of the way. English, lyrics were not the main meaning of a song, but the emotions that transpired in each key, each intonation of each word.
ABBA was there to embrace me when I laughed in happiness and cradled me and my tears in those endless nights, until i could fall asleep.
Later in life i learned English. And those songs... they just got such a deeper meaning, the multitude of complexity of the human emotions declared in those words I now learned to understand.
My first travel outside my home country? Will be next year.
I'll see them in England. Because they had faith in us for 40 years. And I have faith in them, even when new spirit has arrive to keep them going, when they are no physically with us anymore.
I'll carry their new spirit within me. I forever will.
This is how music sounds like when you put your heart and soul in it.
Since these new songs were released RUclips has been flooded with reaction videos. I find yours to be one of the more honest, heartfelt, emotional reaction videos. The pride you feel in your homeland comes through. You are charming, straight forward and really have something to say, and you say it very well. Thank you for these 2 videos (plus the announcement reaction video which was outstanding and fun to watch).
That means everything to me. Thank you dearly ❤️🙏🏻
Wo bleibt die Übersetzung? Vom Englisch ins Deutsche, es kann nicht jeder die englische Sprache.!

Hear! Hear!
If your looking for the Old ABBA sound, look to Don't Shut me Down. it's a fun song! But if your looking for background, feelings that have lasted and evolved over 5 decades between 4 people then this is the song! It's an Anthem of themselves and it's a question to themselves asking if they can still do this. Is it still inside them to project out and be done in a quality manner, or has time erased all that. For me? I am like thousands of others Yelling Yes! You can do it and you do have it in you! ABBA, Thank you for MORE Music.
He's done that one and loved it so! I just watched him react to it :)) SO good!!
Yesss...they do have it them!!
Thank you for the Music. ABBA is gift from the God.
I cry too. Just bought tickets for the concert. So nostalgic and happy right now. 😢
At first listen I thought, hmmm...I get it, it’s their musical theatre side but not everyone will get it (they don’t)
But when the chorus hit....wow!
It is a message to humanity - We do have it in us.
It’s a real grower, totemic.
Everything everyone says is true.
don’t shut me down though? That’s beyond stratospheric.
Nicely put. Each song is incredible and important for unique reasons.
Given Toe, this song can be compared with ABBA'S "I Let The Music Speak" in which the leadvocal is Anni-Frid (Frida) too.
80000 preorders in the UK alone in THREE DAYS 😮
😱😱😱😱😍🔥
Right now they are on the german Amazon bestseller list at rank #1 Ltd. CD box, #2 CD, #4 Vinyl LP, #5 "I still have faith in you" CD, #7 "Don't shut me down" CD, #29 "Abba Gold" CD, and #38 with the "Voyage" MC. Yes, the music cassette made it into the Top 40. :-D
@@AnSe902 The MC is a must buy then.
@@jari2018 Well, I still have my walkman. 😄
@@AnSe902 and I have many of my orginal cassettes bought when I were 20 - but I miss my Nachamichi 480 cassette recorder it didnt have any problem with the tape being sucked into the machine as with all other .They had some straitening the tape mechanism and Dolby C which took away the hiss - mostly
Mostly Agnetha has the leadvoice. This time its Anni Frids voice. Beautifully done and the color of her voice goes right trough me. She is amazing too !!!
Annifrid sang lead on dozens of amazing songs, but for some reason few of those were released as singles between 1977 and 1980. As a huge fan then and now, I never understand why and felt that she was short-changed! Hopefully ISHFIY will encourage everyone to explore their back catalogue (and then to agree with me! 😉)
@Herman Smeets - both Frida and Agnetha had a similar amount of leadvocals on each album. Benny & Bjorn made sure of that and many others were joint vocals. Agnetha’s voice was possibly more suited to the “poppy” numbers and Frida’s voice was adaptable so often used on their more complex creations that weren’t necessarily mainstream pop of that time. That said: ABBA had 9 Number 1 hits in the UK - Frida was lead vocalist on 3 of those and 5 were joint leads.
@@lounolastname4477 kudos: well-researched!
Depends on the song. Frida is a leader in many songs as well.
Agnetha is NOT 'the' lead singer. I get so tired of this myth. True ABBA fans know that they were BOTH lead singers, and equally shared doing lead vocals. Frida's lead songs actually had bigger chart success, so to diminish her impact in the group is just disrespectful
ABBA 4ever
Your reaction to both songs is a total joy - the strange confusion of realising that these new songs are Gold standard👏
50 years ago… ABBA changed the world.
Now they’re BACK to change the world….AGAIN!!
These songs ARE proof!!
It could only be topped, if Mozart came back, or Beethoven.
Yeah pretty much 😅
Only if Mozart, Beethoven and Bach came back at the same time!
What Freddie Mercury did to introduce rock to opera, ABBA has done with pop and classical👍
or queen or The Bee Gees or The Carpenters !
And until last week I thought ABBA’s return was about as likely to happen as one of those.
I agree. The absolute come back of the century. Of all time. 🙌
Truly beautiful. I cry every time I hear it. Frida’s voice is gorgeous. Anthemic.
This is really music..as you said. A new spirit has arrived...it all comes down to love. A hug for you man
Abba music is timeless and unique. It’s impossible listen to this song and don’t feel it in your heart. We are all like you. It goes directly to your soul. It’s a gift in 2021 we can enjoy new ABBA music. Thank you for your beautiful reaction. ❤️
That one is a tear-jerker, isn't it? I saw their show in London in October 2021 (which the end of this video is from). It was one of the most awesome things I've ever seen!!
Sure is!
I've watched so many reaction videos to the new ABBA song releases - because this is maybe the most impactful music release of my adult life - and only your videos so far resonate with the emotional impact of how the songs hit me too. Thank you for sharing your genuine emotions about the return of ABBA - during this era of lockdown, I really appreciate getting to share in that sort of moment here.
🥺🙏🏻❤️
Hear hear! 👍🏼
It's so pleasing to see a young man feel about ABBA the way we oldies do. I'm so happy to welcome them back into my heart.
I just needed one day to calm down and react on your emotional video. First of all thank you very much for showing us your emotions. I'm nearly 57 years old and ABBA were the heroes and the comrades of my youth, their music gave me strength and comfort when things didn't go easy. The highlight was seeing them live here in Germany in 1979. When they left the scene I was very sad, but growing older and turnig to other music. But I never forgot them and was very pleased by the revival of their music and also the appreciation they lately became concerning the high quality of their music. So I went very well and happy seeing Mamma Mia The Musical coming and later the movies. Then they announced their return in 2018 with two new songs and I rather went mad. The delays made me feel sad and in the end I doubted if they really will come back, but I never really lost faith in them. Watching the stream last weeks and hearing I still have faith in you made me cry so much immediately. I couldn't stop crying that evening and was very very touched. Watching young people like you in their interest and love for ABBA makes me very happy. Watching your videos about the new songs not just made me happy, again I cried a lot with watching you and I felt and still feel very touched. Thanks again and a lots of love for you from Germany♥️🙏🍀
Such a huge meaningful song ! They are the #1 band of all time from their music to their marketing plan. Cheers to Abba !
I was the same as you I was crying hearing Frida,s beautiful voice glad someone else felt the same keep up the good work
Me too. The moment I heard Frida sing, I began to weep. She is still amazing!
Wanted to see how you would react to this one. The power of the emotions in the music and the lyrics is something else and your reaction says it all. Unfiltered delight. This is where your success comes from. Don’t change.
Hej
I still have faith in you Is one of the most beautiful touching/heartwarming and sophisticated ballads I’ve ever heard David 💕 It’s got so much heartfelt sentiments within the lyrics the production the four
vocals the whole heart and soul of ABBA is within this beautiful recording ❤️ Frida has got a voice that instantly warms your heart it goes deep into your soul and mind it’s can give you so many emotions joy sadness and happiness and all at the same time 🥰 Unbelievable but like many ABBA songs it’s a true emotional rollercoaster of a banger that keeps your heart pumping and for me the tears flowing 😉 Agnetha and both BBs just add that magical complicated unison and unique ABBA sound ❤️ Without a doubt it’s an absolutely stunning recording the long and emotional awaited song wee have been yearning for and Wow I’ll say that again Wow 🤩 did they deliver 🤩
A wee story 😉 I have been an ABBA fan since 1981 or
82 It’s so long ago now Haha 😛 So I’ve listened to ABBA for over 40 years but sadly in 2016 I lost my mum to cancer it’s was a shocker 😿 but not wanting to damper my comments I’ll be quick 😉 I stopped listening to ABBA as these songs gave me so many reminders and memories involving my mum it’s was her who gave me my first ABBA single who introduced me to ABBA so one way or another I just couldn’t bring my self to listen to ABBA because it became to hard and emotionally wrenching 🖤 But gradually i learned to
cope ect 👍 So in 2018 when ABBA announced the new songs I knew I had to listen and would 😉 that September night 2021 was so so
emotional like so many who listened to ABBA
the first time in so many years it was so special and I had tears or joy but also of happiness I I have to say this is now my fave ABBA somg for many reasons if you get me 👍it instantly makes such an impact on your heart and soul you can feel the rawness and emotions in it’s entirety and for what it stands for
Ps I’m back to being my ABBA old self specially since the new songs arrived it’s brought me so much joy happiness in more ways than one ☝️
Yeah this specific song truly is an emotional rollercoaster. It is very good, beautiful, and the lyrics really hit you. Im sorry to hear about your mom, that is heartbreaking. Now, you can at least listen tho their new songs, remembering her, honouring her memory 🙏🏻 Have a nice day Scots! 😊
Cheers David I do 😉🙌
WOW! what a comeback! They came back with the best song they have ever written ::::faints😵::::
"I'm fine." 😂 Watching your reactions gives me so much joy, you can't imagine. It makes listening to this music even better. You have a rare gift for communicating to others, and deserve every success in the world. Thank you for sharing with us.
Haha 😅😂 Yeah that second was a heartbroken man 😅 Thank you though, that means so much to me ❤️❤️🥺
It was beautiful it was sad and happy at the same time.Only Abba can do this to people.Bravo Abba!and this channel!
Music is supposed to move you emotionally, and this hits the mark. One ballad and one dance... welcome back ABBA!
ABBA makes life appears a little brighter. Love watching this wonderful group.
I'm glad to see you truly love their talents and music. I'm so happy they have reunited while they have the chance.
To those of us that have so many memories of growing up with their music, this is short of a miracle. We had been given no hope of seeing this.
I'm grateful maybe they understood the meaning their music had on so many people around the world.
Hang in there, I have shed my fair share of tears listening to these first two songs. And we have more to look forward to!!! ☺️
Thank you ABBA, you saved 2021! 💗🤩
To hear those voices back together and the artistry in the music is just what we needed. They're back better than ever. Your reaction was exactly the same as mine. I grew up to Abba and to see your reaction just shows what they mean to so many. Thanks for sharing
The song is beautiful, you are beautiful. sweet memories
Love your reactions, and love ABBA's new songs. I share your feelings, this is pure gold and pure ABBA sound.
Nearly a year on and this song still makes me cry with joy.
Yep
Don't try to hide your emotions, or feel embarrassed if you cry. If a song moves you, let it. That's what it's supposed to do. Especially when you are a big time fan.
I loved seeing how these songs touched you. ABBA getting back together and putting out high quality music after 40 years apart, is a definite occasion to get emotional. I know I have been weeping tears of joy and nostalgia.
Thanks for sharing your fandom this way.
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!!! And YES ABBA…you DO still have it in you!
I LOVE YOU ABBA!!! ❤️
And they say people in the Nordic countries are cold... Kudos to you for showing so much emotion! My eyes well up every time I hear these 2 new songs. I was 14 when they split up. Considering that I grew up in the communist Romania, and access to foreign music back then was a luxury, I'm grateful I had the chance to grow up with their music. And now witnessing their historic comeback! It's such a treat. I cannot wait for the album to come out and maybe be in London next year to finally see them in concert (ABBAtars or not). Thank you for sharing your reaction with the ABBA community.
They have faith in us! I am overjoyed. I have held my faith in them since I was 12. Now 59, and having seen ABBA Voyage in London... how blessed am I?! Thank you for your public reaction. Yours is mine. Sending love from Melbourne Australia.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
"I'm fine" is becoming your catch phrase. 😁
😂😂😂😅
@@GivenToe I think you were just handed your T-shirt slogan right there. Your face trying not to cry with that slogan. Time to get your merch on!
I‘m f…ing 58 years old and I had tears in my eyes, when I listened to that song first time.
In our youth, we listened to Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin etc.
But AbbA had a special place as well.
In those difficult times it was what we needed.
The comback of the century. I agree 100%
The voices of the ladies brilliant. Of course you might hear the age, but it made it even more brilliant.
About the music arrangement and the lyrics, there is no comment needed. For me it is perfect music.👍
😁😁😁
This song brings tears to my eyes each time I hear it. I purchased The Visitors when in Trieste, Italy in December 1981 and, as usual, began my anticipation of their next album. I didn't know at the time it would be a 40 wait. But this song made it worth the wait. Welcome back ABBA! Huge hug from southern Alberta!
Thanks for the comment! Nobody thought it was gonna be 40 years, yet here they are! Hug back from Sweden! 🇸🇪🙏🏻🤗
Huge hug from Italië , punte ala
I bought The Visitors as well back then in December 1981. After that next year I bought double album The Singles-First ten years and much later, don´t remember what year, maybe in early 2000´s I bought 4-cd box Thank you for the music. But yes, 40 years of wait for completely new music, I did not think this would happen but was wrong :-)
@@anterooinas4334 Ya, a year later in Dec. 1982 I was in Huntingdon, UK when a radio announcer in London said there was a contest and he had 50 autographed ABBA The First Ten Years sets to give away. So I wrote down the answers to his 5 questions and sent in the postcard. Three weeks later my autographed 'First Ten Years' albums arrived. I still have them with the commemorative picture disks set of The First Ten Years I bought at the same time. I still have my two ABBA belt buckles. ABBA FOREVER!!!! Oh, and I too have the 4 disk Thank You For The Music set. Seems like we must be like twins or something. LOL!
@@DC-vv5ii Oh great! Yes, clearly we are twins. Soul mates anyway. It´s so great to find them now because back then I didn´t have any :-)
You made me cry all the video. I feel the same the first time I listening to this masterpiece. ABBA are back, is the best news in the century....! Blessings from Buenos Aires!!!🤩👍👏🙏💫🎶🎵😘😍🇦🇷
Abba just has this way of firing up the full range of emotions in you - all at the same time. There aren't many bands that know how to do this, and Abba do this with unmatched precision. The Day Before You Came and Eagle are perfect examples for this and the new songs simply pick up where they left off.
Their music was immortal, now they are as well :) abba-tars forever!
I just watched your reaction again, after discovering you just after ABBA’s relaunch last week. (I must have listened to each new song about 100 times since then, and I have frequently found myself weeping!). Your reaction video made me weep all over again! Annifrid has been my “spirit animal” since I was 12, in 1975. Watching you cry upon hearing just the first few seconds of Annifrid’s voice on ISHFIY just validated not just my last week, but my last 46 years! Like many other people commenting on here, our enduring devotion to these amazing people who are ABBA is not typically understood by others. For me it’s a very deep personal identification with their inherent humble honesty and deep moral integrity as much as their phenomenal, stunning talent; and the way that their songs offer emotional transcendence. Just hearing A&A’s combined voices again in these stunning new songs hits me straight in the solar plexus. You described ABBA’s return as if guardian angels had come back down to give us all a gift of love and compassion and hope. You nailed it! There’s a deep spiritual significance to their reunion- for millions of us, as much as them. Well done!! 💐🙌🥰
Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️🙏🏻
I could not agree more. Well said.
Thank you for the music ABBA ❤️❤️❤️ and thank you Given Toe.
Love from Sweden ❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪❤️
Thank you ❤️❤️🙏🏻😊
It's wonderful to see, how much feelings a man can show "just" because of music. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Okay, this isn't just music. Its a very special atmosphere, which is transported by the song. It induces so much feelings and happiness. 😍🤗
Stay TRUE to YOU.... don't think too much about what to do- just be YOU.
I came in on the "ABBA train"- because I cant stop playing Dont Shut Me Down which I first heard around my 60th birthday 9th September- what a birthday gift! I have embraced it immediately as my 60's theme- BRILLIANT just WONDERFUL- "The Spirit has arrived"- thanks ABBA for everything 🌍🌈🌠
Had the same reaction myself SOO glad to have them back
I am 72 and lived ABBA. These new ones are unbelievable! ❤️❤️Thank you for doing this reaction video.❤️
Anytime 😁🙏🏻
I became a fan after Eurovision 1974 When I was 8 years old. I am so so happy that this comeback has happened . I’m still crying when I hear their voices after all this time . Great reaction x
Its amazing 🙏🏻 And thank you! 😊
I love you!!!! I love your reaction !!!! it's the first time I see you but I love you right away and of course I love ABBA forever .... love from CHILE
I love you for watching and commenting! Thank you for your kindness!
You're fast becoming one of my favourite RUclips reactors, my friend. Your really do wear your heart on your sleeve, and that's very endearing. You've become a big hit on ABBAtalk, the main ABBA forum on Facebook, so no doubt that will bring you many new followers. It's so nice to see that this 'second coming' of ABBA has moved you in the way it has moved so many of their fans around the world. Kudos to you from Scotland.
Came here via ABBAtalk haha
Thank you a thousand times! I had no idea!? That makes me so happy 🥺😭❤️
Wow thanks for letting me know! 🙏🏻🔥
You should join ABBAtalk, it is fun :p
🙏🏻🙏🏻
The only thing you have to know is, even in todays messed up society, good people will get good rewards for their hard work.
Great harmony NEVER goes out of style, and they have it!!
Their comeback has been hailed a triumph already! I love how you said this is real music! This is why ABBA will never have failed! And the avatars… OMG! They are fantastic and beautiful.. I cannot wait till November 5th!
Easily the best reaction I've seen to this song. Especially at the beautiful climax at the end when Frida goes solo...I could tell you were overwelmed with emotion. It's such a great song, but seeing you react to it made it even better in my book. Thank you.
Yet another 50 something guy, and I still can't stop crying every time I heart this and your reaction was so genuine it's great. Having been an adult for what feels like a long time, listening to Frida begin to sing, her voice was like being given a hug by my mum and told everything will be ok, it really is that big a deal. You do what pleases you on your RUclips channel, there's a reason people poured into your channel, believe me a million people did abba reactions, but yours was just a bit special,. If you find things that connect with your soul, then show us. You don't have to please everyone all the time, just be great at what you do and that will keep people coming back.
Thank you for those hearwarming words 🙏🏻❤️
Sweden is in a bad place, so we needed to be reminded of who we were and what we can become. Abba is the best of the best.
Abba is so deeply rooted in Swedish culture, history and the sounds and colours of Sweden. It's our nature turned into music. The melancholy is so Swedish, but with a hint of hope and joy. Like the white nights and the northern lights...
Who else is watching reaction videos to feel comforted about crying like a small child at the joy of hearing their new music?
It's not the comeback of the century. It's one of the most exciting comebacks in pop history!
You are exactly right - this is the comeback song of the century. Unbelievable and incredibly emotional. You articulate perfectly how I feel. I’ve listened to it about 50 times and still get a lump in my throat.
