      Alica Horňáková To correct your English, you must say, 'Why do I feel nostalgic FOR a time before I was born', or '... for a time when I had yet to be born.'
      You are the one who HAS nostalgia. Therefore you are nostalgic for, never from. And you cannot feel nostalgia, you feel nostalgic. Moreover, how can a song have nostalgia? How can a song, in and of itself without feeling, feel nostalgia? A song cannot give you nostalgia.
      It's like 'happiness'. You don't say 'I have happiness for the easing of restrictions'. You say 'I feel happy for the easing of restrictions'. And you certainly don't say 'I have happiness from the easy of restrictions.'
      Ha! These days you might also say, 'I feel nostalgic for the times before I was Björn.'

    My brother is 32 and has special needs. He absolutely adores Abba and has done ever since he was 10 years old.
    He has an Abba themed item of everything you can think of. Tshirts, plates, bath towels, bedding, calendars, even a chopping board!
    When he was 20, our mum took him to Stockholm to go to the Abba museum.
    When he was 21, we threw a surprise birthday party for him and invited everyone that's ever been apart of his life, and even had an Abba tribute act play.
    He's been to the Abba Voyage hologram show in London multiple times, he's seen Mamma Mia live in theatre more than I can count. When we go on holiday to Spain, we always make sure he visits an Abba tribute band.
    He is an absolute super fan, through and through. To this day, he loves Abba with just as much passion as he did when he was 10.
    This was (And still is) his favourite song out of the lot. He loves all their songs, I just remember he used to play this song the most growing up and when I lived with him.
    I've since moved out of the family home, and I listen to Abba every now and then to remind me of him as I don't see him much anymore.
    Actually, knowing him, he's probably here watching the music video right now!

      All prayers from Righteous SOULS aka Born again Christians, have power. Sinners prayers GOD hears not. Unless we REPENT and born again and LIVE HOLY, GOD hears none of our prayers. Prayers have power, but these must come from Changed hearts.
      Proverbs 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

    "Mamma mia" is an italian expression that literally means "my mother, my mom" but is used by italian people to externalize a lot of different emotions. It can extern surprise, sadness, happiness, joy, sick, disbelief, enthusiasm, anger, distress, satisfaction and much more again. It's surely the linguistic expression more pronounced by any italian in his/her life and some statistics about that, assert that an italian person pronounces the expression "mamma mia" from 10 to 30 times any day in his/her life. In the years 70 Abba recorded many of their songs in the italian music studios and they got the chance to know a lot of italian people. They were so impressed and amused by the expression "Mamma mia" and they decide to dedicate it one of their song

    • @Dustshoe
      @Dustshoe 8 лет назад +1

      Yes! If you listen to something, it's the something that is making the sound (or noise).
      What you seemed to be trying to say is that Abba listened to your mom, as if your mom was a singer and the members of Abba her fan club.
      You could have said instead: "Abba's music was listened to by my mother". But in that sense, what that construction implies is that it was illegal or forbidden to listen to a broadcast from, say, behind the Iron Curtain. Just as it was forbidden for Germans during WW2 to listen to the BBC on the radio.
      "He listened to ..." is much more direct and natural - and as such the subject who is listening should come before the object (in most cases).
      Also, you used the imperfect tense (was listening), which is incorrect with your construction.
      Abba were committed to using natural yet grammatically correct English that was clear in its meaning: in spite of a few howlers. But don't learn from me! Learn English by listening to Abba!

    I love the counterpoint between Bennie's classically oriented piano theme and Bjorn's pop guitar riff. Who knew something like that would work so well? That is the magic of ABBA in my opinion.

      Exactly Alwa. People would be surprised how much Benny took from the classical era into Abbas pop music. But again, it would be hard to understand for the casual listener never aquinted to our grand classical period. I know exactly what you mean. Counterpoint = Bach . Abba = High Baroque best of arias. Few know that Benny is an avid classical listerner. Abba is classical composition with a fixed timescale 4/4,. And the Girls got all this, Frida with her background as a Jazz singer and Agneta with a swedish folk/pop singer from the early teens. ALL the members of Abba have had a long apprentice before they became Abba. And this synergy is on legendary level. There is nothing comparable

    LYRICS:-
    I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
    So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
    Look at me now, will I ever learn
    I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control
    There's a fire within my soul
    and I can hear a bell ring
    (One more look) and I forget everything, whoa
    Mamma mia, here I go again
    My, my, how can I resist you?
    Mamma mia, does it show again
    My, my, just how much I've missed you?
    Yes, I've been brokenhearted
    Blue since the day we parted
    Why, why did I ever let you go?
    Mamma mia, now I really know
    My, my, I could never let you go
    I've been angry and sad about things that you do
    I can't count all the times that I've told you we're through
    And when you go, when you slam the door
    I think you know that you won't be away too long
    You know that I'm not that strong
    and I can hear a bell ring
    (One more look) and I forget everything, whoa
    Mamma mia, here I go again
    My, my, how can I resist you?
    Mamma mia, does it show again
    My, my, just how much I've missed you?
    Yes, I've been brokenhearted
    Blue since the day we parted
    Why, why did I ever let you go?
    Mamma mia, even if I say
    Bye-bye, leave me now or never
    Mamma mia, it's a game we play
    Bye-bye doesn't mean forever
    Mamma mia, here I go again
    My, my, how can I resist you?
    Mamma mia, does it show again
    My, my, just how much I've missed you?
    Yes, I've been brokenhearted
    Blue since the day we parted
    Why, why did I ever let you go?

    Fun fact: This song ended Bohemian Rhapsody's 9 week long reign as UK nr1, and stayed there for 2 weeks. It means "mamma mia" was the most popular phrase in songs in the UK for about 2.5 months, from 29/Nov/1975 until 14/Feb/1976.

      One of their best. And one of their worst. The parasitical, deceptively cheesy, stage musical industry, like some sort of sinister giant old computer programme, has stripped ABBA’s legacy to the bone. The Mamma Mia phenomenon has, increasingly with time, even come to replace the idea of Abba ever having anything to do with their own songs. No doubt the age of folk who blurt out “Oh, it’s Mamma Mia!” when by chance they come across the genuine article on the car radio, has since the turn of the millennium been creeping ever upwards. Abba had matured as a band by 1977, and kept on maturing (until 1982). Certainly by 1977, with The Album, the band had become an “album band”. Abba could embarrass its snooty critics who had unfairly and stingily labelled the Swedish foursome (a slightly disparaging term) “bubblegum pop”. Indeed the supercilious rock critics in the late Seventies seemed to enjoy referring to ABBA’s songs as “catchy”: a safe piece of snooty criticism that betrayed ultimately a touch of envy among them. But, today, in the comet trail of the Mamma Mia phenomenon, it’s the rock critics who will have the last laugh. Could you imagine The Carpenters sullying their legacy so? By having gangs of wealthy New Yorkers and what have you rampaging through some Caribbean pristine paradise socking it to the tropical birds with tunes so dreadfully delivered that they’d probably be all extinct now? Why, Abba, oh why?
      Those barren Greek isles shouldn’t be able to support anything. But the Mamma Mia phenomenon took root there and has flourished. Like knotweed. It’s Mamma Mia on the sides of bus hoardings; Abba invisible. The talk on radio is of good old Pierce and Meryl, never, seemingly, the introduction of a record onto the turnstile of that old genuine article. The fattening of culture has been all around us since the 1950s, I guess. But it has been an activity that has wildly increased in scale and momentum since the dawn of the internet age. Yes, those old rock critics will have the last laugh. Because the Mamma Mia phenomenon has led Abba to being once again associated with bubblegum pop and catchy songs. And by everybody! Not just a clique of critics!!! What a disaster! Nobody can complain now (except me).
      The healthy point about ABBA’s songs back in the day, when pop music was also still known as popular music, was that they had universal appeal. Across all ages and the class hierarchy. Yes, that was yesteryear.
      Mamma Mia appeals today, the Mamma Mia phenomenon that is, to a smug, conceited upper middle class mentality. To give you an example of what I mean, you only have to watch the well-made, mid-Nineties Australian movie Muriel’s Wedding to see how much more meaningful ABBA’s bitter-sweet songs could have been in a dramatic setting. The band’s songs deserved a serious vehicle, if anything. In fact, it’s no exaggeration to say that Abba, in a sense, saved the Seventies. This was a time when in the UK, many people persisted with black-and-white television because it was cheaper, colour television sets hired much of the time. People were poor. But it meant something to have the first chords of, say, Chiquitita come out of the radio on the counter in the kitchen that the miner’s wife hears on a winter’s day heavy with coal smoke.
      II recall watching about ten years ago the introduction of Mamma Mia into China. The makers of the documentary did not anticipate at the opening show in Shanghai the huge non-reaction of the great and the good of that city. Many were young trendy types, too, don’t get me wrong. But the cold reaction indicated that the narrative did not chime with traditional Chinese family values (as one would have expected). It also led to the producers going back to the drawing board. Of course, not to be deterred! Soon enough, even in China, they all soon “got it” as soon as the fattened-up entertainment industry’s gleeful attitude and ever sunny dispositions had built up enough momentum such that the cultural gatekeepers in China could only blurt out: “My, my! I tried to hold you back but you were stronger!” I suppose the mantra “it’s the economy, stupid!” was reworked into “it’s the songs, stupid!”.
      And that is the problem with the modern world. It wants to grasp ownership at all costs. To mould anything good and worthwhile into something less than the sum of its parts. And how many parts there are in the Manma Mia phenomenon!
      As you know, the football team that wins the World Cup is the one that amounts to being much more than the sum of its parts. And where that happens, there you find class. And the world-class performance. The world-class team.
      But what does the world know about class today? Must everything be dialled down to the lowest common denominator? As Dickens wrote, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. In terms of the world of the arts and entertainments, that’s the order it follows, seemingly, regrettably. The world can’t help it.
      Yes, the late, great James Last. Will the obituaries for Abba be that? Would its members be so honoured (as they deserve to be)? Or will they be remembered chiefly as the person(s) behind the songs of Mamma Mia!?
      Perhaps ABBA’s comeback of earlier this year was motivated in part to reclaim its legacy. To breathe air again after being so long stuffed under the subsidiary that had swallowed up the original old firm.
