You got so emotional because Abba is the best band that ever existed. I sobbed hysterically when I found out that they were reforming because it was one of the biggest wishes I’ve ever made.
In this song Agnetha (Ang-neta)the blond, is the lead singer with Anni-Frid (Frida)darkhaired, coming in now and then. The boys Björn (Bjoern) guitar and Benny piano and keyboards joins in also. Björn writes most of the lyrics and Benny most of the music , but the girls contribute in the studio with ideas about songparts and arrangements. Björn is oldest born 1945 and Frida later same year. Benny was born 1946 and in my age. Agneta was born 1950. Björn was born in Gothenburg but grew up in Västervik. Frida was born in northern Norway but grew up in Sweden. Benny was born in Stockholm. Agnetha was born in Jönköping. As I'm Swedish born and raised I've seen and listened to these guys since the 1960-ies. Björn was then in THe Hootenanny Singers and Benny in The Hep Stars. Frida started as a 14-year old girl singing in a band mostly jazz in the beginning. Agnetha was in a danceband before her solo productions in which she wrote both music and lyrics.As Björn told when they produced this latest album 'VOYAGE' it was like they just had left the studio in 1982. The girls had it and sounded as before. Their eyes met in the studio and they felt that it was as 40 years ago. Fantastic!!
Distinctive, unique, brilliant harmonies of Agnetha and Frida come in at 1:55. ABBA still have their mojo and after 40 years, they're back to show today's so-called musicians how it is really done. Love your reaction, truly emotional.
I totally understand you getting emotional, but don't worry, everybody in the world has that. It is the magic of ABBA that touches your heart and soul.
When they released the first two songs in 40 years, ”I Still Have Faith in You” took a few listens for me to really appreciate but this one I loved immediately. The music , the lyrics, the production… It could be the perfect pop song. 10/10.
Abba were the soundtrack to my childhood. When I heard this, it staggered me to think they took a 40 year break. This could have easily been recorded in the 70's, classic Abba.
Ces quatre suédois sont des dieux ! Les deux premiers titres sont parfaits, vivement le 5 novembre, pour découvrir le reste de l'album... Que d'émotions en perspective ! Vive ABBA et Thank you for the new music !!!
What is this kind of magic? (in a positive way :D) I have listened to this song now, for a month or so, and I am still crying, why? :) Abba, has something we all need, what it is, I do not know, but it touches me every time... :D
Hey, there was in interview with Agnetha Fältskog on radio today, where she said she had been watching reaction videos of their new songs. She said she found it difficult to grasp how people from all around the world was so moved by their new music. So perhaps she has watch your video!
All the world have been talking about for 2 years is COVID, well now VOYAGE has taken over as the main topic of conversation. This album will undoubtedly sell millions of copies & we are all commenting on it trying to think of something more brighter to think about & ABBA have done just that, made us all happy with their beautiful sound. They have been away too long & we needed a lift.
It's little about the ABBAtars as well. That before you saw real us live, but this time you will see our digital us on tour and not old us. So have an open mind.
I didn't realise it till you said it, but it's almost like ABBA are knocking on our door, and asking if we will let them back in. As if there is any doubt!!
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!
Empress Joy-Jean you have been touched by ABBA angels ,they entered your ears commanded your mind and danced in your heart ,they have been doing this to me for 47 years (I am 61) and your tears for this song prove you will never be the same again ,in a wonderful fantastic way .they didn't have to modernise the songs because they are TIMELESS THEY ARE ABBA.40 years are but 40 heart beats to them ,and we get to live twice.I still have tears in my eyes after 2 weeks of listening to these 2 new songs.
OK two weeks here too of letting my tears fall, being an old Swedish Abba fan.That's the wonderment of Abba songs. What a gift to a sad world cheering it up into the heaven of the heart.
oh my gosh ! i am 61 too , Now I am sure that my emotion during the listening session is not unique. we live in different parts of the world and our favorite band squeezes out the same emotions from memories and (I'm not afraid to say that) - tears ... saying it's perfect - it's like saying nothing.......because it is more
Your reaction is so sweet. The fact you recognize the group we learned to love and the fact they have not given up their signature sound is like the reserection of wonderful. A lot of people in these times need to feel what music felt like when times were better. I hope Abba doesn't stop creating again. Many are ready for music to become talent again rather gimicky showman ship.
You expressed your feelings about ABBA perfectly! I feel exactly the same about this song. Their coming back now in 2021 is exactly what the world needs so so much!!
IMAGINE working very closely from childhood with a group of friends and saying goodbye to them now and meeting up again to work with them again in the year....... 2060 when you are all in your 70's and that is what has happened here, my friend. The year 2060 would be a parallel experience which is why Abba's millions of Worldwide fans, like me, have lumps in their throats now :)
There must be mixed emotions between not believing that they DO come back and this masterpiece. What a double "blows".... Lol. They come just when we need them.
I'm a hardened man, and unabashedly an ABBA "baby" ... Life's pains and hardships has made me a man of steel who tried to hide and hold back my emotions. But in this ABBA's comeback song where they played with words, meanings and poetry in this song - ah, I was broken... Those beautiful, meaningful lyrics has hit me like a soft, but warm kiss and a very tight embrace which I never want to go away... And those tears of yours... ah, they touched me, too...
WOW, I discovered you through UA-cam suggestions... and I really love your reaction to the very touching Don't Shut Me Down. I cannot agree more wih your interpretation of the message of the song... yes!! ABBA is addresssing to us... yes... I got it as you got it.. they have changed, they are not the same (of course... they are more than 70 years old now.... my goodness!)... and they are asking us to accept them... and how could we not accept them? they are as wonderful as they were, they are the same magical souls... and as many are saying all over the internet... they have come back to make the world a better place. We needed them!!! Thanks ABBA, from the very bottom of our hearts. And love to you for sharing your emotions in such a sincere and honest way. A warm hug fom Spain.
I remember being stationed in Germany in the military during the 1970s and this is when I first heard ABBA dancing Queen. also every pub in town were playing ABBA. Liked them then and I still do.
I can't stop crying Abba you have brought back so many memories when i was young and i would dance to your music with my 2 sisters who both died young. Omg i'm in a mess love you Abba welcome back xxx
Empress, this is the best reaction to this song that I've seen (and I've seen them all). I'm 56 and grew up with ABBA in their prime and this song also made ME burst into tears. I loved your reaction!
At age 73 my first reaction was tears and I thought something was wrong with me! But now a lot of more talented people have done similar things. Thanks Joy-Jean.
The best reaction video out there. Unfortunately, just this very day, Abba declared the Voyage album will be the last of Abba's recordings. Better enjoy these new songs then it seems.
I was thrilled that you understood the meaning of this song so early in the lyrics: it's a love song to their fans, and hoping they will still accept them even though they (and we) are not the same. I wonder if the line about them being "decoded" refers to their comeback "live" performance where they'll appear as digital avatars of their younger selves? ABBA has proven with their new music 40 years later that they are and always will be timeless!
Love your reaction! I've been a fan since a small kid in the 70s. I love this song and it was very emotional to hear them again, especially the part where the dual vocals start. I'm a guy and this floored me too !!
Dont worry, you're not the only one that gets emotional when watching this. Abba was just a bit before my time, but naturally because of this my mom was a gigantic Abba fan. When I was young she would constantly have Abba playing in the house. I also remember she had lots of memorabilia as well. While I enjoyed the songs very much, I always looked forward listening to my own music at night with my ear phones because she didnt care for metal too much. Unfortunately she passed away about 6 years ago. When I heard this song for the first time, the only thing I could think of is her. I love this song and she would have loved it too. Especially since the lyrics obviously are a heartwarming and deeply emotional message directly from them to their fans. I can see her now balling her eyes out listening to it and thus it gets my eyes flowing too. It just goes to show you how perfect Abba is and how meaningful and timeless their music really is. Its absolutely amazing, Bravo Abba!
Yes it's the Feeling that you don't know, exited, happy and sad mix emotion, because they are back again after 40 yrs of silent, as a fan I'm also extreme happy to see them again, way to go abba
You had the same reaction I did. This song was written to be sung directly at their fans, saying "We're back, we love you, we know it's been a long time and we're not completely the same, we're better, so give us a chance!" ABBA is back, baby!
its wonderful to see such a genuine and emotional reaction to this song. i have been a fan since the beginning and never thought this reunion would ever happen. when i heard both these new songs i cried like a baby. it was like seeing and old friend or relative i had not seen in 40 yrs. i still cry at this song. its an instant ABBA classic masterpiece. ABBA came along just at the right time after what the world has gone thru the last 18 months. it gives me hope and optimism of a brighter tomorrow. thank god for ABBA and their unique talents of songwriting. producing and singing. there will never be another group like this in the history of music this has been the comeback of the century and the best songs released this year by far. viva ABBA forever!!!
ABBA Forever!!!!
Abba, makes you dance with tears in your eyes.
Its ABBA no need to say any more🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏
THEY ARE BACK JUST IN TIME. THE WORLD NEEDS ABBA.
Esta canción puede salvar al mundo
You got so emotional because Abba is the best band that ever existed. I sobbed hysterically when I found out that they were reforming because it was one of the biggest wishes I’ve ever made.
ABBA has a talent for touching us, don't they. That's why they are so loved.

These cats were the real deal in the ‘70s and 80s
Still giving me goosebumps!! 💙🥲
IMAGINE working very closely from childhood with a group of friends and saying goodbye to them now and meeting up again to work with them again in the year.......
2060 when you are all in your 70's and that is what has happened here, my friend.
The year 2060 would be a parallel experience which is why Abba's millions of Worldwide fans, like me, have lumps in their throats now :)
The perfection of the two songs they released - one about themselves, one towards their audience :)
When music can make you cry you know it's magical! And yes i cried too. :) Greetings from Sweden.
I am a sixty years old man from Uruguay and I think everyone cry when listen this song, and everyone cry when listen ABBA again, even me!
There must be mixed emotions between not believing that they DO come back and this masterpiece. What a double "blows".... Lol. They come just when we need them.

At age 73 my first reaction was tears and I thought something was wrong with me! But now a lot of more talented people have done similar things. Thanks Joy-Jean.
This could have been a song on their final album, The Visitors. Sounds like 40 years ago. And I mean that in a good way.
I love how the song starts so simply and just keeps building and building.
Such a beautiful thank you.. Stunning. Abba have this power of make you cry and dance at the same time.. Unique.
Perfect
Very true :)
Perfectly put! Let’s cry let’s dance!!!
The best reaction video out there. Unfortunately, just this very day, Abba declared the Voyage album will be the last of Abba's recordings. Better enjoy these new songs then it seems.
This song does something to you. I have listened to it 20 times or so and start crying each time.
second reaction video of a new ABBA song Im watching. Second crying person lol
Dear Empress, Thank YOU for your open mind, beauty, and smile. We ❤ you too!
I was thrilled that you understood the meaning of this song so early in the lyrics: it's a love song to their fans, and hoping they will still accept them even though they (and we) are not the same.

The lyrics will take on another level of meaning when sung by their ‘Abbatars’. It’s soooo clever. I can’t wait to see their London show!!
Gorgeous isn't it yes it brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it personally I think it's a masterpiece you go ABBA
