    The harmonizing by Frida and Agnetha is like a third voice that is fleeing and magical - when those notes hit together. Plus all sub texts and breaks, tempo changes, et all - perfect.

    Thanks for the ABBA. I'd say one of my favorites, but there all my favorites. The ABBA-tar's should be a pretty big deal. I saw an interview with Bjorn in April and he said they want to do the dry runs in London this summer with full on stage band. Sounds pretty theatrical which would make sense. They've allways been a little ahead of the curve on everything.

    The story of the name of the game is: she's with her schrink and there's a connection where as we know there can't be a love/friendship connection with your schrink. "And you make me feel, and you make me show what I'm trying to conceal because I'm a bashfull child beginning to grow"

In there hay day no self expecting music fan would not have thought of not having ABBA’s Catalogue in their possession and I was one of them, we were always having impromptu party’s at home and ABBA was always on the turntable. We had some great times back then and here they come again.🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧🕺🏻💃🎸☘️

  • @jerrycote659
    @jerrycote659 3 роки тому +4

    This is my #3 favorite ABBA song just behind #1 Knowing Me, Knowing You and #2 Dancing Queen. The song is a timeless masterpiece of pop perfection. You made nice points as far as the mood and feeling of the song giving you a similar kind of vibe as Knowing Me, Knowing You, but, that would be only as far as the sonic mood because the message is the polar opposite whereas Knowing Me Knowing You tells a very sad and empty scenario, “Name Of The Game” paints a picture of someone in the initial phase of falling for someone. Quite the opposite of the gloom and finality conveyed with Knowing Me Knowing You which in spite of that is still my absolute all time favorite ABBA song, for now at least. Who knows what might happen when we get to hear the 5 new ABBA songs later this year. Maybe I’ll have a new all time favorite ABBA song once we get to hear the new songs.

    It was only #1 in one country: England (four weeks!)
    and is a fantastic song, so different to the others before,
    great melody and rythm, and the Girls singing leads together and with a lead solo each other
    The next single was they worldwide hit "Take a chance on me"
    and a lot of masterpiece in "The Album"

    We knew ABBA had recorded 2 new tracks back in 2017 but the ABBATAR project has had difficulties and it appears the new music is tied to the new tour concept...then the pandemic came. Maybe there are more new songs maybe not. Whichever way as an old fan who heard this when it was first released on single way back in 1977, I never expected anything and whatever happens, with all four ABBA members having turned 70 (Agnetha is the youngest now 71), I'm not expecting many appearances in person if any. The Name Of The Game is a wonderful song (filmed at Agnetha and Bjorns kitchen as she was heavily pregnant with their second child at the time - hence she wasnt going on that roundable!) and thankfully the UK gave it Number 1 status. When you listen to the complexity of this arrangement compared with earlier songs, ABBA had taken a huge creative leap at that time. Anyway, while we wait for new ABBA music, Hapz has time to catch up on their past glories.

  • @tanguerogo
    @tanguerogo 2 роки тому +1

    Noone knows the name of the game in the beginning of a relationship between two people who have started a week ago, so dont care about that! Just try to understand the music. You have minimum 4-5 different melodies, it is a highly emotional mindset...Agnetha was a showqueen, but nevertheless more of an introvert person, plus highly romantic. So, this is what you hear in the song: a bashful child, hoping that her interest and love will be reflected.
    A masterpiece, and with "My Love, my life" (most touching vocals ever) my favourite from ABBA.
