You’re spot on with your analysis IMO. On its surface, the song is a standard “I want to get back in your life” love song. But the song has a deeper meaning for ABBA and it’s fans. From the moment the band broke up in 1982 the world has been begging for a reunion, but they always resisted. Now 40 years have passed and they’re mentally and spiritually ready to go through it again. This song is their way of saying “Ok, you asked for it and we’re back. But please understand time has passed, we’ve grown and please accept that growth and change.”
I agree, the deeper meaning is a message to the fans. But I also think these two new songs are designed to fit into the avatar show next year - maybe opening the show. (I think Bjorn's wife would protest if this was actually a love song for Agnetha).
"the apartment hasn't changed at all..." Pienso que se refiere a que a pesar del tiempo sin ellos, los fans seguimos con sus pósters, cassettes, cd's, objetos, etc
I am a 67 London Guy who has mixed with the good and certainly some villians and bad guys and I cried to and still after 32 different reactions, have a lump in my throat when I think of the significance of this and you have my favourite female name of all. 1/ Yvonne 2/Michelle 3/Francesca 4 Nicole 5 Dominique :)
@@Isleofskye I'm going to be in London in June for all the festivities...I was wondering if it will be possible to get tickets for their virtual show. I can imagine it becoming a long run much like "Mama Mia". I hope so anyway.
I'd like them to share these songs with their friends, close ones. Otoh, honestly that man should shave, it maybe hipster shite, however, it took you so long to know about ABBA ?
Yes! I’ve heard many say that there is Agnetha = one special voice, Annifrid = one special voice and the two of them together = one extra special voice! And I agree. 😍
@@MollySato Then there is the combination of the guys, Benny is one of the worlds best Piano players, he writes Norwegian Poetic Mythology and wins awards for it and Bjorn is a greta guitar player. I love all there Spanish songs as well.
Exactly! Not even the Beatles could accomplish that. Fleetwood Mac, Blondie, and the Eagles also all reunited, anywhere from 12 to 17 years later, but ABBA takes the cake at 40 years! Let's hope there's more loaded in the cannon!
As a kid, back in the day, I recall a sign stating: "Thank You, England, For Giving Us The Beatles." Well, one might add: "THANK YOU, SWEDEN, for giving us ABBA!" Their signature song "Dancing Queen" is eternal.
@@My2Cents1well then Germany too😂Do not forget for what reason Frida's grandmother took her to Sweden . Frida grеw and developed in Sweden, so thank you SWEDEN! (Shame on you, Norway😢)
I dunno if my eyes can take this. Every time I hear their new songs, I cry like a baby. I've been a fan since 1974, but never saw them in concert. I got tickets for next year's show. I cannot wait. Thanks guys.
@@jasonmoss7990 That's your opinion, don't say it's bad just because of that. I wouldn't say it's bad. It has become one of my favourites by them already.
I like the change in pace in this song and the very familiar harmonies. The lyrics resonates with me. I was around back in the beginning and it brings back memories for me.
Im 64, male from England...grew up with ABBA as a guilty secret...but this...like they have never been away.Makes me sorry for all the stuff we could have had between the years. Better than ever. They know how to write pop tunes with fantastic lyrics. LOVE this. As someone coming back from 30 odd years of alcoholism, this song has a very personal resonance. Genius stuff. Using words like "You look bewildered" and "and so you should, I would" ... bloody hell. Can't praise this highly enough.
The Abba members are now all in their seventies. Agnetha is 71, Björn is the oldest member at 76, Benny is 74 and Anni-Frid is 75. The band was formed in 1972 - with the name ‘Abba’ coming from their four first initials.
Sure, but Björn and Benny had worked together since 1966, writng songs for other artists and produced (as it is called today). Agnetha already had a long career as a schlager style "singer songwriter" behind her, and Frida was oriented to the jazzy latin bossa style. Both girls worked with Björn and Benny and did backup vocals on their recordings some years before they became Abba.
Their new songs are melancholy, sensational, magical and completely unreal wonderful. I myself am 60 years old and have been there from the beginning. They were unique when they made an impact and that keeps them. I still have all their LP and cassettes at my old turntable from that time. Legends never stop singing. ABBA has conquered the world again!! Imagine if everyone could preserve this warm feeling we feel at this moment and take it with us in our harsh world. Greetings from Sweden!
I know it's hard to pronounce, but the song is actually Chiquitita, and it's my favorite song of all their songs. ABBA trivia time: Fernando is their all time best selling single song; around 70 million copies have been sold to date.
Ask any fan and they will give you 5 different songs :) Here's mine. 1/ Don't Shut Me Down (after watching 32 Reactions and admittedly a sentimental one ) 2 I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do 3/ The Winner Takes It All 4/ Chiquitita 5/ Knowing Me, Knowing You...:)
There are two equal lead singers: Agnetha (who sings this song) and Ana-Frid (or Frida). Frida sings the other new Abba song, I Still Have Faith in You, which is great. You should to this one. Beyond that, I hope you do some of the faster stuff from their history. I recommend my favorite, Mamma Mia, as well as Waterloo, Knowing Me Knowing You, and SOS.
Abba is my favorite and greatest band of all time! The have sold 400 million records! Agnetha, the blonde and Anni-Frid or Frida as she is called both equally shared leads on the songs and also sang in unison which was known as the third voice of Abba as there voices together created as amazing sound. To come back together after 40 years and still sound this incredible is a testament to their talent. A whole album is being released in November. If you need any Abba suggestions for songs, I know all of them.
Their my favourite band too, I keep suggesting songs with Frida as the lead vocalist because I think they're missing out on hearing her voice and also Bjorn sang lead vocals too
"I have learned to cope and love and hope, is why I am here now!" Great lyric and inspiring for anyone to hear from another human being, especially a group like ABBA!
I had some tears when Abba broke back in the day, was usual play at my parents house, so it's a warm childhood memory, this track is in repeat in my car
Isn't it great that all members of ABBA are in their 70s now? Agnetha is now 71, Anni-Frid is 75, Benny's 76 and Bjorn is 75. And after a 40 year hiatus, for ABBA to have come up with these 2 georgous newly released songs are unbelievable, right? Plus a whole 10 song new album is coming out this 5th November 2021😍 Don't Shut Me Down has Agnetha on lead vocals while I Still Have Faith in You has Anni-Frid on lead vocals.. Agnetha is a soprano and Anni-Frid is a mezzo-soprano, both voices have their own strengths and class, and when these 2 harmonises, its pure bliss and joy as these harmonies ARE the sound of ABBA! Not to forget the other 2, Benny and Bjorn who have always been great composers, truly sublime in their lyrical and music compositions, music arrangements and production. Do react to their 2nd new song, I Still Have Faith in You ❤️
Björn is the eldest (born on April 25th 1945 then Anni-Frid born on November 15th 1945 then Benny born on December 16th 1946 and finally Agnetha born on April 5th 1950.
There's another new ABBA song called 'I Still Have Faith In You'. It might make you cry - both positively and maybe sadly. The band have said that the new album 'Voyage' is really all about coming back and their feelings about it. They really didn't know how they would be received again and the girls in particular were worried about it. A new show touring next year will be avatars (they call them Abbatars) of all the band and should be something special to see. Best wishes to your friends. Losing someone is hard at the best of times but over the last couple of years it's been even worse.
If you ever get to see Abba Voyage it is absolutely amazing such a fantastic show, I would go again in a heart beat, you will not be disappointed it's like they have never been away.
What was said was impossible has happened. The reunion of ABBA is mega huge. They have been offered huge money to tour again and refused. So glad to hear them again.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee She was the main one that refused but others did at different times. I had read many years ago they were offered 100 mil for a short your and a couple of them denied so I don't know. Just glad they took this project on.
You're interpretation of this song is spot on. Many fans have the same interpretation. Please help spread the music of ABBA in America as wide as possible. It's just what the world needs right now. Much love from Melbourne Australia ❤️
ABBA IS MUSICAL ROYALTY. MY FAVE BAND SINCE 1974. WHEN AGNETHA AND ANNI-FRID JOIN FORCES VOCALLY, A THIRD POWERFUL VOICE JUST EXPLODES THROUG YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS. BUY ALL 8 ABBA STUDIO ALBUMS, SOON ALL 9, YOU WON'T REGRET IT 🤩🤩🤩🤩
The 2 new song's are great, my Dad loved this group sadly lost him in 2000, he also loved the Beatles. He made his granddaughter fans, we rocked out to ABBA songs good memories.
To a long time Abba fan, it's totally amazing that they have made music together again after 40 years. I'm still shocked!! And it's like they've never been away. Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn, Ana-Frid. Legends!! Try "Name of the Game" "Knowing Me, Knowing You" "Chiquita" "Fernando" "Thank you for the Music" the list is endless. Much love from England 🏴
There are two new songs. The other one, I Still Have Faith in You, features Anni-Frid (Frida) on lead vocals. Her voice is equally magnificent and the two of them, Frida and Agnetha, together complement each other as beautifully as any two voices have ever done. I'd love for you to be more familiar with Frida's voice. Some wonderful songs she sings lead on are Andante Andante, Like An Angel Passing Through My Room, I let the Music Speak, The Visitors, and the classic Fernando. Just to get you started.
Apart from the exceptional music,the lyrics to this one have already become a new code of communication to Abba fans. ABBA"s "friendly ability" is disarmingly adorable.Welcome back we definetely wont shut them down!
Lead singer in this song is Agnetha (the blonde). She was married to Bjorn (lyricist,usually played the guitar). They had two children. She wanted to be there for her kids. Her main reason for leaving. Anni-Frid (the redhead) was married to Benny the pianist. They were only married three years and also divorced, no children. They’re responding to their fans plea to return and are ready to do so. Nice reaction
ABBA. their music is timeless. Anyone criticizing Abba, can rest in the sure knowledge, they are part of the minority. Every song is exquisite and embraces all generations. The music, the voices, the harmonies, the lyrics are next level. Of all their songs, it's difficult to select a favourite but I'll have a stab at it. 'The day before you came'. From an aging OZ devotee.
I love your reaction on this song. As a fan, Abba invokes many memories from the 70's and now 40 years later they do it again so this was kind of emotional and means much and now that Abbatars were created they are forever immortalized. Even though they are in their 70's they still have that 70's sound. They created so many hook songs. I'm 71 yrs and overjoyed that the younger gen can enjoy Abba. I per-ordered their Voyage album coming Nov 4. Thank you both Peace..
Bjorn likes lyrics that can be interpreted in different ways, so it can be both about them or a relationship in general. After 40 years, it just takes you back. They sound the same, and the Abbatars on stage are their movements combined with technology to make them look like they did back then. I'm so thankful that they got back together. I've been praying for them for decades after their painful parting so what an answer!
ABBA "winner takes it all" is about Agnetha and Björn's divorce prior the bands break up. It's another good but sad song. They have soo many good song to choose from!
Song of hope. Lotsa ABBA songs of course from the 70s still to explore. Thanks again for being so open to new music and ur take on this song. Praying the God of comfort so invade the hearts of ur friends and shed His Peace throughout their lives letting them know how big is His LOVE for them and their daughter at this time and always. CHIQUITITA TAKE A CHANCE ON ME KNOWING ME KNOWING YOU FERNANDO
Growing up ABBAs music was a very big part of life. When I heard they had released new music I was so excited. I can't wait till the new album is available. Thank you for your reaction! That's how music survives. Sharing.
You don't know the feelings ABBA's return has evoked in this old timer who grooved on ABBA in the 70's. I can't wait until I get hold of ABBA's VOYAGE CD. My old boom box is going to be playing sweet ABBA music through the house again!
I was 20 in 1975 when Abba was a worldwide phenomenon. Waterloo is very iconic. Mamamia and Fernando... probably their most well known . They were massive!...... Sympathies for your loss :(
The girls have still got it. I can hear bits of previous ABBA songs weaved into this. ABBA Voyage will be a digital concert experience like no other, from one of the world's biggest pop acts in a custom-built arena at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London.
Thank you for talking about ABBA in this sweet way,. I am a die hard fan from the start and I cried hearing this song. They tough your soul with there music and got me trough difficult times.
This was indeed uplifting. Just plain awesome and gorgeous. Welcome back Abba, and much appreciation for sharing the good vibes. We appreciate y'alls, too!
These lyrics are so brilliant. They have so many layers one can find, like of course the personal level, now and then and personal transformation, but also them being reloaded and decoded as Abbatars, don`t shut me down. How amazing is that? This song got immediately stuck in my head, I absolutely love it. And hearing those voices again after 39 years still sounding as amazing as ever, is like a miracle. I really love watching your reaction. Thank you.
You're both so perceptive in your reactions. You're the first I've seen who understood the message behind the song. They released a 2nd song the same day that Frieda sings called I still have faith in you which is beautiful, well worth a listen 🙂
There isn't really a lead singer. It depends on the song and how the voices suit it. Like with the Beatles. Sometime Paul will lead or it could be John or George - even occasionally Ringo.
Hey great song great reaction. Love this song and the fact they are are doing concerts with super real looking avatars or abbatars as their fans are calling them. They built a special stadium for it. The band members spent months wearing some ial suits with 160 special cameras that captured every move so it's actually them. A must see. Can you PLEASE DO THE OTHER HIT SONG FROM THEIR NEW ALBUM 'I still have faith in you" Frida ( the brunette) does lead vocals and it is amazing. The band broke up because they were 2 married couples that got divorced.
Really Great Reaction.....however NEARLY ROB NEARLY MY FRIEND.....You were with a Whisker of pausing 5 seconds from the end and I was watching that dreaded right hand of yours like a HAWK and when I saw it move to pause I thought NOOOO but at the last moment, you realized and let the last few seconds play. You can always glance over to see how much time is left, my friends. As it was it was a GREAT REACTION as you paused (if you must ) at the right times and you both got the message immediately which some of the other 32 Reactors I have seen , so far, never realised so, ultimately, well done. LET THE MUSIC FLOW,My Friends :)
You both need to hear " I still have faith in you" .. its definitely a must..both females are lead sings .. Agnetha is blond ..Anni-Frid is brunette..Benny is on piano or synthesizer keyboard and Bjorn on guitar..Merry Christmas and God bless you and your family always..
If ever there was a time for some happy joyous uplifting music it must be now. Thank you Abba, and thank you Rob Squad Reactions for giving the review and publicity to this song.
After 40 years the genius songwriting of Benny and Bjorn is a good as ever. The lyrics and the dual meaning behind them of someone wanting to come back into a former loved ones life but also the metaphor for the bands comeback are incredibly clever and the musical arrangement is just exceptional and has that clever ABBA “hook” that you just can’t help but keep on singing. The vocals of the girls are as sensational as they’ve always been, especially Agnetha,s lead vocals and I for one am over the moon that they have released this new material and can’t wait for the new album to be released in November. For me ABBA are completely unrivalled in the pop music world, there will never be anyone again who can produce brilliant pop songs like they do. So Sorry to hear your sad news, sending love and prayers to you all 🙏🙏 💜
Technically, this was the second song. The first one, after almost 40 years, was I Still Have Faith In You, led by Frida. It also has a touching video.
You are correct “Don’t shy me down” ,Deals with agnetha’s relationship with bjorn long after their divorce ,Hence being in the park outside their old apartment and her surprise decision to reform the band.The other song “I still have faith in you” deals with Anifrida and Bennie’s relationship and how she still has faith in him ,when he suggested the reunion of the group.
I really like this song. I love Abba and I am just glad to hear new stuff and although you can hear the age in Agnetha and Frida's voices, they are like fine-aged wines, wonderful. Yes, you're right Amber, it's about them coming back into our lives as a band, which they had resisted doing for years until it was right for them.
You’re spot on with your analysis IMO. On its surface, the song is a standard “I want to get back in your life” love song. But the song has a deeper meaning for ABBA and it’s fans. From the moment the band broke up in 1982 the world has been begging for a reunion, but they always resisted. Now 40 years have passed and they’re mentally and spiritually ready to go through it again. This song is their way of saying “Ok, you asked for it and we’re back. But please understand time has passed, we’ve grown and please accept that growth and change.”
Perfectly put. This is a moment us ABBA fans have been waiting 40yrs for. Their sound will always give me goosebumps. So happy right now.
I agree, the deeper meaning is a message to the fans. But I also think these two new songs are designed to fit into the avatar show next year - maybe opening the show. (I think Bjorn's wife would protest if this was actually a love song for Agnetha).
Millenials should learn about the marriage life of ABBA to feel the full meaning of the lyrics.
Nicely put
"the apartment hasn't changed at all..."
Pienso que se refiere a que a pesar del tiempo sin ellos, los fans seguimos con sus pósters, cassettes, cd's, objetos, etc
I literally cried when I heard their new music. In their 70's they sound as good as ever

I think you both smiling throughout the song sums ABBA and the effect their music has on everyone perfectly
I'd like them to share these songs with their friends, close ones. Otoh, honestly that man should shave, it maybe hipster shite, however, it took you so long to know about ABBA ?
Greetings from Sweden, thank you for loving our fantastic ABBA
You really should react to Adele, think she have the best voice of all female singers, set fire to the rain is my favourite
It is not hard Anders they are always welcome in their second home in Australia
The chorus is both Frida and Agnetha. The harmony of their voices is what made Abba so special. Incredible we are getting new music after 40 years.
Yes! I’ve heard many say that there is Agnetha = one special voice, Annifrid = one special voice and the two of them together = one extra special voice! And I agree. 😍
The "Ooohhhs", "Aaaaahhhs" and the "Don't shut me down" in the background are courtesy of the boys. 😊

ABBA's reunion is like finally coming home to a cozy fireplace after years of being away in the cold
It has been almost 40 years for this ABBA reunion. Their fans are thrilled!!!
Doesn’t make this one of their better songs, it’s meh for them be honest
The world is thrilled

The 2 new song's are great, my Dad loved this group sadly lost him in 2000, he also loved the Beatles. He made his granddaughter fans, we rocked out to ABBA songs good memories.
Love your comments on another great song from my favourite musical act ever.
So glad ABBA is back. I highly recommend Fernando from their heyday.
I've been with this Band since the Second Grade, there's a HUGE SMILE ON MY FACE😃🤍🙏 AMAZING!🔥
40 years on...I bawled my frigging eyes out first time hearing this
To a long time Abba fan, it's totally amazing that they have made music together again after 40 years. I'm still shocked!! And it's like they've never been away. Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn, Ana-Frid. Legends!!
Try "Name of the Game" "Knowing Me, Knowing You" "Chiquita" "Fernando" "Thank you for the Music" the list is endless. Much love from England 🏴
There are two new songs. The other one, I Still Have Faith in You, features Anni-Frid (Frida) on lead vocals. Her voice is equally magnificent and the two of them, Frida and Agnetha, together complement each other as beautifully as any two voices have ever done. I'd love for you to be more familiar with Frida's voice. Some wonderful songs she sings lead on are Andante Andante, Like An Angel Passing Through My Room, I let the Music Speak, The Visitors, and the classic Fernando. Just to get you started.
MORE ARE COMING AS WELL !!! 💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻
So happy !!!
@@nebelungpixie9373 So am I! I have already preordered the album. I've been a huge fan for over 40 years. These are exciting times!
super trouper as well ❤️🩹😍
I still love their voices and dancing queen was everything to me.
You lovelies got it 100%, well reviewed and that amazing smiles on your faces, you both look adorable!!
Shiny! My dad and I just enjoying the music! =)
Chiquita or Fernando are fun ABBA songs.
How is it possible that I'm smiling and crying at the same time?
Love this song and their other new one. I think both songs are about them coming back and they hope we will accept them.
I am so excited that ABBA has comeback with amazing tech visuals and their amazing sound...Thank you guys, Blessings
They're in their 70s and they're still rockin!😊
Apart from the exceptional music,the lyrics to this one have already become a new code of communication to Abba fans. ABBA"s "friendly ability" is disarmingly adorable.Welcome back we definetely wont shut them down!
Lead singer in this song is Agnetha (the blonde). She was married to Bjorn (lyricist,usually played the guitar). They had two children. She wanted to be there for her kids. Her main reason for leaving. Anni-Frid (the redhead) was married to Benny the pianist. They were only married three years and also divorced, no children. They’re responding to their fans plea to return and are ready to do so. Nice reaction
ABBA. their music is timeless. Anyone criticizing Abba, can rest in the sure knowledge, they are part of the minority. Every song is exquisite and embraces all generations. The music, the voices, the harmonies, the lyrics are next level. Of all their songs, it's difficult to select a favourite but I'll have a stab at it. 'The day before you came'. From an aging OZ devotee.
I love your reaction on this song. As a fan, Abba invokes many memories from the 70's and now 40 years later they do it again so this was kind of emotional and means much and now that Abbatars were created they are forever immortalized. Even though they are in their 70's they still have that 70's sound. They created so many hook songs. I'm 71 yrs and overjoyed that the younger gen can enjoy Abba. I per-ordered their Voyage album coming Nov 4. Thank you both Peace..
Bjorn likes lyrics that can be interpreted in different ways, so it can be both about them or a relationship in general.
After 40 years, it just takes you back. They sound the same, and the Abbatars on stage are their movements combined with technology to make them look like they did back then. I'm so thankful that they got back together. I've been praying for them for decades after their painful parting so what an answer!
ABBA "winner takes it all" is about Agnetha and Björn's divorce prior the bands break up. It's another good but sad song. They have soo many good song to choose from!
I am so glad you took my and our request......I have seen it!!!! Really....really.....great song!!!!! ABBA's BACK!!!!!
Song of hope. Lotsa ABBA songs of course from the 70s still to explore. Thanks again for being so open to new music and ur take on this song. Praying the God of comfort so invade the hearts of ur friends and shed His Peace throughout their lives letting them know how big is His LOVE for them and their daughter at this time and always.
CHIQUITITA
TAKE A CHANCE ON ME
KNOWING ME KNOWING YOU
FERNANDO
Deep lyrics for ABBA. The harmonies are still great and that's what always made ABBA great.
Growing up ABBAs music was a very big part of life. When I heard they had released new music I was so excited. I can't wait till the new album is available. Thank you for your reaction! That's how music survives. Sharing.
This has never been done before, just think about it, new music after 40 years, with this quality, unbelievable.
Love their song Happy New Year too!
You don't know the feelings ABBA's return has evoked in this old timer who grooved on ABBA in the 70's. I can't wait until I get hold of ABBA's VOYAGE CD. My old boom box is going to be playing sweet ABBA music through the house again!
I was 20 in 1975 when Abba was a worldwide phenomenon. Waterloo is very iconic. Mamamia and Fernando... probably their most well known . They were massive!......
Sympathies for your loss :(
ABBA is one of those bands that will get your foot tapping, no matter song your listening to!!
Fernnando is a masterpiece! I love all ABBA music, but Fernando is my single most favorite of all their music.
It’s like no time has passed at all.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee it’s good - they’re doing their thing. :)
Such a great back catalogue from this group. Try Our Last Sunmer
The girls have still got it. I can hear bits of previous ABBA songs weaved into this. ABBA Voyage will be a digital concert experience like no other, from one of the world's biggest pop acts in a custom-built arena at Queen Elizabeth
Olympic Park, London.
So glad to have them back. Thank you ABBA!
Thank you for talking about ABBA in this sweet way,. I am a die hard fan from the start and I cried hearing this song. They tough your soul with there music and got me trough difficult times.
This was indeed uplifting. Just plain awesome and gorgeous. Welcome back Abba, and much appreciation for sharing the good vibes. We appreciate y'alls, too!
The two girls are the lead singers. They still have the magic ♥
Both Agneta and Annefrid are in their mid seventies now. Their voices have matured but they are still there...
These lyrics are so brilliant. They have so many layers one can find, like of course the personal level, now and then and personal transformation, but also them being reloaded and decoded as Abbatars, don`t shut me down. How amazing is that? This song got immediately stuck in my head, I absolutely love it. And hearing those voices again after 39 years still sounding as amazing as ever, is like a miracle.
I really love watching your reaction. Thank you.
You're both so perceptive in your reactions. You're the first I've seen who understood the message behind the song.
They released a 2nd song the same day that Frieda sings called I still have faith in you which is beautiful, well worth a listen 🙂
There isn't really a lead singer. It depends on the song and how the voices suit it.
Like with the Beatles. Sometime Paul will lead or it could be John or George - even occasionally Ringo.
Hey great song great reaction. Love this song and the fact they are are doing concerts with super real looking avatars or abbatars as their fans are calling them. They built a special stadium for it. The band members spent months wearing some ial suits with 160 special cameras that captured every move so it's actually them. A must see. Can you PLEASE DO THE OTHER HIT SONG FROM THEIR NEW ALBUM 'I still have faith in you" Frida ( the brunette) does lead vocals and it is amazing. The band broke up because they were 2 married couples that got divorced.
Really Great Reaction.....however NEARLY ROB NEARLY MY FRIEND.....You were with a Whisker of pausing 5 seconds from the end and I was watching that dreaded right hand of yours like a HAWK and when I saw it move to pause I thought NOOOO but at the last moment, you realized and let the last few seconds play. You can always glance over to see how much time is left, my friends. As it was it was a GREAT REACTION as you paused (if you must ) at the right times and you both got the message immediately which some of the other 32 Reactors I have seen , so far, never realised so, ultimately, well done. LET THE MUSIC FLOW,My Friends :)
I feel like crying when I listen to this song. It feels like I found my long lost friend and we are back together again.
You both need to hear " I still have faith in you" .. its definitely a must..both females are lead sings .. Agnetha is blond ..Anni-Frid is brunette..Benny is on piano or synthesizer keyboard and Bjorn on guitar..Merry Christmas and God bless you and your family always..
I love ABBA. They show you ...it matters not. People in their 70s can still sing...with love and freedom.
Makes me cry!
If ever there was a time for some happy joyous uplifting music it must be now. Thank you Abba, and thank you Rob Squad Reactions for giving the review and publicity to this song.
After 40 years the genius songwriting of Benny and Bjorn is a good as ever. The lyrics and the dual meaning behind them of someone wanting to come back into a former loved ones life but also the metaphor for the bands comeback are incredibly clever and the musical arrangement is just exceptional and has that clever ABBA “hook” that you just can’t help but keep on singing.
The vocals of the girls are as sensational as they’ve always been, especially Agnetha,s lead vocals and I for one am over the moon that they have released this new material and can’t wait for the new album to be released in November. For me ABBA are completely unrivalled in the pop music world, there will never be anyone again who can produce brilliant pop songs like they do.
So Sorry to hear your sad news, sending love and prayers to you all 🙏🙏 💜
deep guys. you know it. I agree they are reaching out to the fans...not in a bad greedy way.
Almost 40 years of silence and they still sounds good.
Sounds like most long term Husbands and Male Partners :)
THEY ARE BACK JUST IN TIME. THE WORLD NEEDS ABBA.
They came back together just when the world started to fall apart. That tells me there's still hope.
ABBA reunited after 40 years after breaking up, and 50 years after they formed.
It's now 51 years, and they still rock!
You should watch the “Mama Mia” movies. They are all ABBA.
Technically, this was the second song. The first one, after almost 40 years, was I Still Have Faith In You, led by Frida. It also has a touching video.
You are correct “Don’t shy me down” ,Deals with agnetha’s relationship with bjorn long after their divorce ,Hence being in the park outside their old apartment and her surprise decision to reform the band.The other song “I still have faith in you” deals with Anifrida and Bennie’s relationship and how she still has faith in him ,when he suggested the reunion of the group.
A-bstolutely B-rilliant, B-eautiful A-wesome
If you loved this you should try Slipping True My Fingers and The Day Before You Came!
I went a whole week without singing this in my head, so thanks.
Agnetha is 71 - still the same gorgeous lead voice!
I really like this song. I love Abba and I am just glad to hear new stuff and although you can hear the age in Agnetha and Frida's voices, they are like fine-aged wines, wonderful. Yes, you're right Amber, it's about them coming back into our lives as a band, which they had resisted doing for years until it was right for them.
This is a great song! It's so ABBA!! Please also check the other new song 'I Still Have Faith in You'. Such a beautiful song!
