I wonder if the 10 people who don't like this realize that he plays EVERYTHING by himself, while there was normally 6 or 7 musicians plus the two singers in original song! This man does marvels with his two hands and his two feet!
Willie Finn Thanks - I saw a programme on ABBA which featured a wooden cabin in the countryside with a grand piano where the songs I guess were conceived at the keyboard?
Hi, like Willie wrote this song is perfect for a church organ. Great cover. About the cabin, its on Viggsö one of the 24.000 islands of the Stockholm archipelago. They wrote most of there beggining songs until "The Album" during the summer. After that, they went on Barbados and the Bahamas ;o)
I love Benny Andersson and he is an awesome tunesmith. But no century (except the 18th) has had a Bach. He was the greatest single musical genius and artist in history and no one else even comes close. There is Bach and then there is everyone else.
I don't know why the Lord recommended this to me, but CLEARLY he wasn't jealous before we met, now every woman he sees is a potential threat, and he's posSESSIVE IT ISN'T NICE
I’m about to go to church and play the organ and just scrolling for motivation for what to play as an outro (entirely my choice as long as the grandpas and grandmas don’t identify it as something immoral) and the first thing I came across is this, so... guess what the religious people are gonna be hearing after mass today
A good friend was the organist at my wedding. He slipped "Whiter shade of Pale" into the Bach chorale while people were being seated. Only one person noticed.
I didn't know that but I was going to comment before I read this that this song is well suited to a church organ because the chorus is rather hymn-like.
ok i've decided that i'm not dying until i've played a church organ and blasted some of my favourite heart-pulling tunes, letting it echo throughout the bulding and vibrate against the stain glass, at least once. so badass
As didactic polymath pointed out, it is based on an old Lutheran hymn-when the song came out, the chorus sounded very familiar! I grew up going to a Swedish Lutheran church in Minnesota.
Benny and Bjorn's masterpiece, theatrical operatic musical 'Kristina fran Duvemala', music: Benny Andersson lyricist/playwright: Bjorn Ulvaes was stages all over Europe. The concert version was performed in Minnesota due to the Swedish emigrations. They actually performed the concert in Lindstrom, MN in a high school gym. Full orchestra and along with the four principle characters. Benny & Bjorn were in attendance. The concert was also performed at Minneapolis.
I've seen most of your fantastic ABBA covers. I've never seen someone playing ABBA as you...You feel every note, every bar, every chord...Very passional...I imagine the emotion you feel when the powerful organ sound invades the atmosphere because you give us this emotion in return...I've never seen anything like this.
You ever have music move you to tears? This did it for me. Its so well played. I'm impressed. Plus I love Abba so there is that. Please sir I want to hear some more.
the chorus sounds INCREDIBLE... especially the parts that literally involve the "lay your love on me" lyrics part. plug in some nice headphones, or a nice set of speakers with a good subwoofer... it genuinely doesn't get better than this. why bother for looking for joy in all these hard to reach places when you can just listen to this? and no one is having more fun than him.
"Large crowds gathered around, stunned by the beauty of the bride, as she walked to the altar to meet the groom, the tribulations have passed, and the great snake was sent to the lake of fire, for all eternity. The church of Christ walked to meet the groom, and joined the groom, in his kingdom, for all eternity"
i heard the son and immediately thought "this sounds like it could be played at a church". So thank you very much for actually doing it! :D It's very beautiful.
I don’t know how you do it Sweden. Such a small country but you turn out a head spinning amount of really good music. I started listening to ABBA as a teenager and continue to be amazed by more and more artists I continue to find. Listening to a lot of Petra Marklund and Garmarna lately. Love Jadudah, Nina Kinert, and Thastrom as well. Keep it coming Sweden, keep it coming!
Woke up craving for some church organ music, then I found your ABBA videos and I've been stuck here for I don't know how long, but really enjoying it. Thanks for posting and congrats on the great sound!
Lyrics I wasn't jealous before we met Now every woman I see is a potential threat And I'm possessive, it isn't nice You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice But now it isn't true Now everything is new And all I've learned has overturned I beg of you... Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me (Don't go sharing your devotion) It was like shooting a sitting duck A little smalltalk, a smile and baby I was stuck I still don't know what you've done with me A grown-up woman should never fall so easily I feel a kind of fear When I don't have you near Unsatisfied, I skip my pride I beg you dear... Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me I've had a few little love affairs They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce I used to think I was sensible It makes the truth even more incomprehensible 'Cause everything is new And everything is you And all I've learned has overturned What can I do... Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me
the fact that this was posted 6 years ago and doesn't have over 300,000 views already it bewildering. see you all in like 5 years when this gets recommended again!
I am not surprised I studied J.S. Bach with Professor Nanney at Stanford's Department of Music and favor JSB's secular organ music along with ABBA's music. By FAR my two favorite composers. When I am listening to them, I feel I am reaching higher levels of consciousness, intellectual, religious, or otherwise!!!!
Excellent playing and good use of the organ's tone.Organs are very versatile instruments and this organ is suitable for the ABBA music and much more.Perhaps you might like to play some Secret Garden,Beatles,Mary Hopkins,Enrico Morricone,John Barry,Elton John,Simon and Garfunkel etc or folk music,too.Thank you.
Yes yes! I was wanting hearing this amazing song in Church Organ omg yes! Wish this song could become a psalm coz I would play this everytime I visit church.

I remember when ABBA released this someone commenting that it sounded like a Churh of England hymn.
LOL
😂
Absolutely outstanding. Well played sir. This is some skill right here. 😊
liturgical abuse
The chorus of this song sounds really good on organ. I can almost imagine a darker cover of this song with the organ and a full choir at the opening.
😍
That's it! That's exactly what I've always thought about this song, but couldn't find the words
GOOD ONE 👍
The darker cover would be insane in a dramatic moment of a movie...
A russian choir. The red army choir to be exact.
I want this very much now.
This man is vibin the entire time thats epic

It's really hard work on an organ like this ;-)

i would actually enjoy going to church if this is what they played
always knew this tune would suit a church organ. very hymn like. well played.

Willie Finn Don't forget the song's chorus. It's like you're in a church for it was sung by a chorale. So the chorus fits in tune of Church organ

Benny Andersson was the Bach of the 20th century, so this makes sense!
Why was? He still is! And may God give him 50 more years at least !
"My love of Bach is deep, strong and everlasting."
Benny Andersson - 2017 (Piano)
Or, Bach was the Andersson, Wilson, Gershwin, Bernstein, McCartney of the 18th century.
@Ernest Vardanean
That's what I thought as well.
I love Benny Andersson and he is an awesome tunesmith. But no century (except the 18th) has had a Bach. He was the greatest single musical genius and artist in history and no one else even comes close. There is Bach and then there is everyone else.

The Chorus IS based on a Lutheran hymn so this is not a huge strech..... Well done!!!
And making a rhythm with the verse..... great polyphony!
didactic polymath could you specify which hymn?
I didn't know that but I was going to comment before I read this that this song is well suited to a church organ because the chorus is rather hymn-like.
which one?
That adds up about the Lutheran hymn didactic polymath.. What is the name of the hymn?
I can't remember the name of the hymn but I remember sing lay all your love on me instead of the hymn in church last year.
This version would be perfectly at home in a Castlevania game.
ObsoleteGamer.com Exactly my thought. If you take the vocals away, it just sounds like it belongs to a CV game.
OMG I can just imagine Alucard playing this when he feels lonely 🤣🤣
Sounds like Count Dracula's castle after watching the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, and I love it!

Yes sure
Which basically scandinavia 2
The reverence to Something sacred to draw attention to it ..
What is the name of the hymn on which this song is based? I can't find any more information concerning this on the internet.
Benny and Bjorn's masterpiece, theatrical operatic musical 'Kristina fran Duvemala',
music: Benny Andersson
lyricist/playwright: Bjorn Ulvaes
was stages all over Europe.
The concert version was performed in Minnesota due to the Swedish emigrations.
They actually performed the concert in Lindstrom, MN in a high school gym. Full orchestra and along with the four principle characters.
Benny & Bjorn were in attendance.
The concert was also performed at Minneapolis.
That smug smile at the end: he knows darn well he just ROCKED!
Finally
A worthy song to play at my funeral
When he pulls out the stop at 4:00 I was living. What a sound 😎
"You are the coolest person on the Internet" - totally seconded! ☺
I've seen most of your fantastic ABBA covers. I've never seen someone playing ABBA as you...You feel every note, every bar, every chord...Very passional...I imagine the emotion you feel when the powerful organ sound invades the atmosphere because you give us this emotion in return...I've never seen anything like this.
If someone said that the intro (the same lines as the chorus) had been written by a great classical composer, I would believe.
It sort of was. It's slightly based on the Swedish hymn “Jesus från Nasaret går här fram” composed by Gustaf Nordqvist
But it WAS written by Great Classical Composers!
If anyone needs an excuse to splash out on a new Hi-Fi with 500w sub bass, these ABBA organ renditions are it.
One day Benny Andersson will get the vast credit he deserves as a composer.
I love his proud smile at the end, it was truly beautiful
One of the most intruiging instruments ever! Church organs give me chills all over the place!
We now turn to Hymn 453: Don’t Go Wasting All the Church Wine, Save All the Bread for Me
Now thats what should be played at Sunday mass. Beautiful.
my mom is an organist and an abba fan too! She can't believe what a master piece u did to her youth! We love it man!!
I hope they play this song at heaven
The chordal progression in the chorus (especially the final phrase) is so like a Bach chorale, this works perfectly!
He's feeling the vibes while enjoying playing it..so awesome!! I'm a choir vocalist and how i wish i could harmonize while he playing this😍🙏🏾✝️
I don't know how I got here, but I'm sure glad I did.
Fun fact: no one searched this video up. Thanks UA-cam
Nah i definitly did
Funny that I didn’t but I don’t regret it either!
I did
Actually, I searched once Abba on organ...
I did
aaaaaaaaaaaand he did it in ONE TAKE! #BRAVO!
can’t wait to get chased through a castle while this plays 😳
You ever have music move you to tears? This did it for me. Its so well played. I'm impressed. Plus I love Abba so there is that. Please sir I want to hear some more.

If this isn't played at my funeral then I'm not going
No one out there is doing it like Principal45
Lay all your trust in God

Now THAT is how to fill the churches again, Justin Welby....
Déjà les harmonies de lay all your love on me sont magnifiques....alors sur un orgue: waw!
4:01 literally gave me chills
I have to admit I was skeptical when I saw the UA-cam recommendation. My God, I stand corrected. Well played sr., well played!
i heard the son and immediately thought "this sounds like it could be played at a church". So thank you very much for actually doing it! :D It's very beautiful.
You’d certainly get more people in church like this!
And now please rise for our opening hymn....
Wait a minutes, this sounds like Rock and/or Roll.
Your expression is just magnificent. You are a master. I love your playing. Brilliant. Very gifted. Thankyou.
Love what you do with ABBA music on the pipe organ.👍👍🇨🇦
Ok I definitely want this played at my funeral
Just wow! Can you come do this at my wedding? :D
THIS MAN AND HIS ORGAN DESERVES MORE SUBSCRIBERS. I CANT WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THE FACT THAT HE HAS ONLY 9K

Lyrics
I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you...
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
(Don't go sharing your devotion)
It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little smalltalk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear...
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
I used to think I was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do...
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
That was bloody awesome
the fact that this was posted 6 years ago and doesn't have over 300,000 views already it bewildering. see you all in like 5 years when this gets recommended again!

This is delightful and daft. Listening all the way from exotic Withington.

Would anyone else want this song at their wedding or funeral
that wholesome smile of accomplishment at the end purified my soul
this has to be the best cover
I don’t know how I got here, but I’m living for it.
As a vicar I approve of that very much. Well done!
Honestly I’d die for this as wedding/ walking down the aisle music
