  • Acoustic cover of the Abba song The Winner Takes It All. This wasn't originally meant for UA-cam, I done it for a girl in work (Viv), who's learning to play guitar. But decided to put it on anyway. I'm sporting a fetching pair of new grey pyjamas for this one. I'm sure Kurt Cobain owned a set.... ps had to delete the original version of this because it was grainy for some reason.

    In it's simplicity, this is quite beautiful. You remind us that this song is not about a heroic triumph, but rather an unavoideble defeat. It sounds very genuine!

    Look Andy, I have add this video on my favorites for long years ago... For the first time I feel confortable to say... You are not the best player, you don't have the most perfect voice, but... This version of this music... Is the must perfect that someone could record in a video. I know that it is from 8 years ago or more, you probable improved on the guiter and everything more, but, this moment... this moment... you shined my friend. God bless you by share this emotion with the world. Big hug from Brazil.

    This songs is sang in a story telling fashion with lots of emotional nuances/melancholies; you have captured them all. VERY good job and thank you for posting it.

    Just seen this for the first time. And I tell you what......some people can do Abba covers, and some can't........you are undoubtedly in the 'can' category. Fabulous cover, mate.

    Hey Andy, I'm a beginner as well. I wanted to learn this song straight away and when I looked up the chords and tried to play it, it sounded something shocking. I couldn't get it sounding right!

    So I apologize ( no pun intended) if i've missed another version but I have spent the last 20 mins looking for a cover that I feel does justice to the song. There are some people out there who are excellent musicians / vocalists. Every single one of them (for me) missed completely. This is an astonishing song and I always felt ABBA overplayed it with the production. This should never have been big and histrionic. Its not Adele. It is one of the saddest songs I have ever heard and it touches me deeply. But there are so many overblown versions of this. I will say this as no word of a lie. I consider this to be the best version of this song I have heard to date. Simple, plaintive, emotional. You have truly recorded a great version here. I congratulate you.

    Just watched a bunch of ‘winner takes it all’ covers and they’re all like good quality but nothing amazing, yet here u are mate with shit quality yet u have that distinctive but yet great voice and rhythm with the guitar, best by far.
