Until that day My life had been a river Following the same, pre-destinated course, Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly With uncompromising force. My strongholds broke down all too easily; I remember well, How it did embarrass me; I hung on to his every smile Marveled at his style Just like that... He walked into my house As smug as a cat He was handsome and smart Walked away with my heart Just like that... He found a temporary home in my flat Telling innocent lies Throwing dust in my eyes But I led him on, Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone Just like that... As though he only stopped awhile for a chat; But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned And once again, the river's flowing slowly, Following its safe and uneventful course. Now the tears have dried, it's become a pleasant break, I recall without remorse. But now and then I wonder where he is And I will admit, he had something that I miss. I guess he was a rolling stone; The only one I've known. Just like that... He walked into my house As smug as a cat He was handsome and smart Walked away with my heart Just like that... He found a temporary home in my flat Telling innocent lies Throwing dust in my eyes But I led him on, Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone Just like that... As though he only stopped awhile for a chat; But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned Just like that... He walked into my house As smug as a cat He was handsome and smart Walked away with my heart Just like that... As though he only stopped awhile for a chat; But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned
What a moving and brilliant song. This is the Great ABBA at its best. Those Viking Beauties just sing with the most Beautiful harmonies.This melody just floats through space with ease. Thanks for the Lyrics. 🌹💕🧚♀️
I love the sax version. The only version that was finished to their satisfaction and was supposed to be included on the TYFTM boxset in 1994 but B&B changed their mind at the last minute. I hope the 3 versions get released one day in high quality
Come on, guys - please, just BELIEVE US ALL when we tell you that this is utterly WONDERFUL and deserves a proper release! It's 'Perfect Abba'. Give us one last treat - the love for you will go off the Richter scale. Please?
The song is beautiful and melodic, amazingly mixed with crystal harmonies. But it feels so haunting, with the distinct ABBA sound yet eerily foreign. The final records of ABBA in their post-the Visitors era (namely "the Day before you came", "Under Attack", "I am the City" and "You owe me one") are an amazing evolution of the visitors album and a completely new era for ABBA. I sometimes wonder what we would have seen from a 1982-3 'final' album. Maybe more of the outtakes if they had managed to finish them (the Hamlets for example, or burning my bridges, or even Under my sun and just a notion from earlier sessions. Dream world may have even worked for that album).
THANK YOU for snagging this gem. I know Benny's got his reasons, but it's a crime not to publish this song. It's one of the most ABBA-like songs I've heard: catchy, fun, clever (omigosh, the lyrics "throwing dust in my eyes" is verbal brilliance). How can we send a mass petition / request to Benny to release it as a gift to adoring fans if nothing else?
Come on ,2023 and agnetha still looks and sounds amazing so does anifrida. If the music was crap we wouldn't be listening to it. ABBA are by far the best pop band of all time. Benny and Bjorn are geniuses when it comes to writing songs. Would love to meet them but sadly that won't happen so sending love from London xxxx
I don’t understand why they finished the song to their satisfaction and were going to release it on the TYFTM boxset but changed their minds at the last minute. The sax version we heard a part of on Undeleted is beautiful. I hope the boys change their mind one day and allow an official release
Waiting patiently for the day Benny and Bjorn release this song. I have read that Benny never liked the song. It was thrown together with parts from other songs that were never completed. Bjorn agrees. It was recorded several ways but they never thought it was good enough to be released. As talented as Benny and Bjorn are I disagree. I think its a much better song then 'Just A Notion' which was reworked and released on Voyage. I think it would be a huge hit if 'Just Like That' was released. Especially the saxophone version. The song has so many strong points. Amazing vocals and a brilliant chorus. Definitely has that distinctive Abba sound. Fingers crossed they release it someday.
It was never thrown together from parts of other songs. In fact, it was the reverse. "Under Attack" borrowed heavily from "Rubber Ball Man" and the guitar riff from "Just Like That".
This song is amazing with Beautiful melody and lyrics. The harmonizing of Agnetha and Anni-Frid are awesome and like the voices of Angels. I can't believe this gem was never finished and released as a single. Agnetha likes the song and said she would like to finish and release it.❤
They did complete a version of it, and it was to be included in its entirety on TYFTM box set in 1994. However they changed their minds and only put an excerpt of it.
one of five of my all time favourites from my all time favourite group. we live in hope that they will one day relook at this song and release it. maybe their next album? {fingers crossed, lol}. thank you for posting this, for me, most unusual version. I LOVE IT. love and peace to you and all, xxxxxxx
Amazing song, never heard before. A more laid-back sound and singing. Less ABBA-ish. Suits them better. I also heard the sax version, but this is way better. Thx for uploading!! 🙏
I love you all very much deeply I am I from the USA of North Carolina I'd love to hear from you all you are a wonderful group thank you for your immunity I have less to your music the other day I turn it up loud on my stereo couldn't hear myself talk it was so good love to hear from you guys❤❤❤❤❤😊
Love abba adore abba always have always will agnetha has a truly amazing voice so has frida agnethas solo albums are amazing my all time favourite is wrap your arms around me ❤❤❤❤❤
I think it kinda has been released , in the sense that ‘Under Attack’ uses the guitar motif /riff u hear in this song (near the start) plus the chorus of this song has similar chords to Under Attack and you can hear how they also sang something similar with the different lyrics of that song ?
While I acknowledge that this is a fine pop song which would probably do well if released, I would be more interested in Benny doing a studio quality piano instrumental of When The Waves Roll Out To Sea - on which the verse of JLT is based. The demo version of that is very rough, but the melody is one of the most beautiful that he has ever written imho.
at the beginning, the backgroup piano sounds like "Don't know how to take it, don't know where to go My resistance's running low" from their song "under attack"
"Just Like That" was recorded in May 1982 and "Under Attack" in August 1982. "Under Attack" was cobbled together from "Rubber Ball Man" and the two early versions of "Just Like That".
I have accepted that this will not be reworked as i believe the final ultimate version of the song is by Gemini. End of ..but you never know, it doesnt mean I wouldnt love to hear the ladies' voices doing it.😂❤
Too bad the percussion is muted in this one, and that thunkity punchy bass in the final version is absent. I like the NA NA NAs from this version though, and I think the saxophone in the final version sounds kinda messy. I also like how audible that tropicalesque guitar that appears throughout this version. Oh to be a producer with all the mixes and masters and separate tracks for this song... I'd make my own version. Without the muddled audio quality. ABBA's biggest mistake was leaving this unreleased. Sure, there's the 1994 boxset that contains snippets of the song's chorus, but the gorgeous verses would've gone forever unheard if someone hadn't stole tapes from Bjorn or Benny's car and distributed them underground.
Varför tog de bort denna?! Den är jättebra. Jag tror de har musik till ett nytt album. Låtar som ligger gömda. 😊❤ Why did they reject this song?! It's gorgeous. I think they have music to a new album. Songs hidden somewhere....
It's released by another swedish group called Gemini. Well known as the siblings Karin and Anders Glenmark. Absolutely worth listen to. And the composers are still Bjoern and Benny.
The most fantasyic combinstion of ladies' voices.. that,'s why we continue listening these amazing zongs.. however, guys thank you too for your talent of writing songs..bottom line you are a great 4
Until that day
My life had been a river
Following the same, pre-destinated course,
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
With uncompromising force.
My strongholds broke down all too easily;
I remember well,
How it did embarrass me;
I hung on to his every smile
Marveled at his style
Just like that...
He walked into my house
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that...
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I led him on,
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just like that...
As though he only stopped awhile for a chat;
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
And once again, the river's flowing slowly,
Following its safe and uneventful course.
Now the tears have dried,
it's become a pleasant break,
I recall without remorse.
But now and then
I wonder where he is
And I will admit,
he had something that I miss.
I guess he was a rolling stone;
The only one I've known.
Just like that...
He walked into my house
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that...
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I led him on,
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just like that...
As though he only stopped awhile for a chat;
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
Just like that...
He walked into my house
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that...
As though he only stopped awhile for a chat;
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned

Thank you........ Have a good day.......^^
Thank you
Ahh!Agnetha's 'perfumed' 'na,na,na,na" is heavenly and really piercing.Hits you right in the heart.
@@christianoazzuro6711 Brother, Amen to that true Statement! 👍❤️
Love this song. Wish they would release it.
The best ABBA song that never was.
Let's pray it's gonna be one of the two New songs for the 2024 compilation to celebrate Waterloo's 50 th anniversary triumph
well said.its a gem
They're going to release two new songs!!??@@gregorymata9154
I love the sax version. The only version that was finished to their satisfaction and was supposed to be included on the TYFTM boxset in 1994 but B&B changed their mind at the last minute. I hope the 3 versions get released one day in high quality
Mainly because they were so exhausted creatively by then.
Come on, guys - please, just BELIEVE US ALL when we tell you that this is utterly WONDERFUL and deserves a proper release! It's 'Perfect Abba'. Give us one last treat - the love for you will go off the Richter scale. Please?
Justice for Just like that 😢

Se la cedió a Geminii...
ABBA, meine Lieblingsgruppe!
Super schöne Musik. Ich liebe sie!

Should be remastered and released as would be an international hit.
the chords were used in under attack
Jaka piękna jest ta piosenka.
If it was released in Australia, it would be gold.
Ĺove this song it should have released long ago it is beautiful
I Love The Song..What A Masterpiece ..This Is Pure Art
ABBA OUR SWEDISH QUEENS AND KINGS FOREVER
Heavenly delivery and so nostalgic.A burried diamond.
🙂
Diamond found in Sweden 🙂
Abba are just the best❤
The combination of the ladies' voices is absolutely incredible, so this should have updated to what every ABBA's fan waits for...
В этой песне только голос Агнеты наложен на несколько тонов.
Those two voices...
Truly out of this world 🌎
In this it's just one voice actually...
Perfection!
My favourite ABBA JUST LIKE THAT
Third version for me though. This is a demo
Жалко, что у них не было официального релиза этой песни. Она классная.
подождите. пройдет еще пара лет, им снова захочется напомнить о себе, и вот тогда чудо случится - они вытащат эту песню, как шулер из рукава ;-)

It would be fitting to end with this song released ! It stands the test of pop music !!! 💙

Gemini sang it. So must the voices of our queens give life to it and the world deserves it. ❤ PLEASE BENNY c'mon !!!
This Abba version is so much better
There was nothing in common with JLT in Gemini's version except for the refrain
Great tune x weren't this suppose to be on More ABBA Gold but they chose I am the city instead, still a good tune though ❤❤❤
ABBA one of the most talented groups ever.. in my opinion of the best groups in the world....Beatles no 1 - ABBA no 2 😊
ABBA 1 BEATLES 2
Ahhh... along came ABBA - Just like that..!

I wish ABBA left these in the original recordings. These omissions are beautiful
Phenomenal melody and orquestration. Great performance. Thanks for sharing✌️🫶🌞
De mis canciones favoritas de ABBA, gracias por mejorar la calidad ❤
Finally a new Abba song that's worth listening to, and a plus, I hear that bouncy beat.
New? The song is more than forty years old that most fans have heard before.
It’s from 1982. The only song of the 6 they recorded from then to remain in the vault
first time hearing this i dig it really good sound.
Still sounds good tho just love abba blimming good musicians 😊
Excellent song, this is the second demo. The third and final version is IMO the best. Uptempo and a saxophone from Baker Street!
Ridiculous that they wont release this gem, but thought "dream world" and "just a notion" we're good choices.
Benny openly despises "Dream World", but had no problem whatsoever releasing it.
MY DEAR VOCALIST AGNETНА FALTSKOG, TНANKS A LOT FOR a SONG!!!
This song is amazing with Beautiful melody and lyrics. The harmonizing of Agnetha and Anni-Frid are awesome and like the voices of Angels. I can't believe this gem was never finished and released as a single. Agnetha likes the song and said she would like to finish and release it.❤
Frida doesn't sing in this song, not even in the chorus. It is Agnetha doing the harmonies with herself.
They did complete a version of it, and it was to be included in its entirety on TYFTM box set in 1994. However they changed their minds and only put an excerpt of it.
@@cserranoweb Thankyou, great info!
One Beautiful gem of a song!!!❤️🎶
Это просто необьяснимое счастье.
Это необьяснимое счастье . Это магия таланта композитора и исполнителя . Со мной тоже так происходит . Не устаю их слушать.
one of five of my all time favourites from my all time favourite group.
we live in hope that they will one day relook at this song and release it.
maybe their next album? {fingers crossed, lol}.
thank you for posting this, for me, most unusual version.

Abba from Sweden
And??
Frida= Norwegian/German
Finland
Outer hebrides
Oh, how nice it is❤
They continue to please us.
I wonder why they did not release this song? Just a little effort, and it would a great hit!
It took 40 years to really come out.
Not really. It was included in several bootleg CDs in the 90s already. With even poorer sound quality.
ABBA JUST LIKE THAT Release as New single and New extended version good news for funs around the world.
Love abba adore abba always have always will agnetha has a truly amazing voice so has frida agnethas solo albums are amazing my all time favourite is wrap your arms around me ❤❤❤❤❤
Аngels sing on tНе еаrtН alive.

Wonderful song ❤❤❤❤

Lindísimos,esa voz la reconozco un montón,es una delicia a mis oídos y mi alma, Viva Abba, saludos
ТАСK ABBA ♥️💞💕😍
I love this song ❤ Thank you!
at the beginning, the backgroup piano sounds like "Don't know how to take it, don't know where to go
My resistance's running low" from their song "under attack"
I was thinking the exact same thing!
ABBA were very good at reusing parts of other songs
"Just Like That" was recorded in May 1982 and "Under Attack" in August 1982. "Under Attack" was cobbled together from "Rubber Ball Man" and the two early versions of "Just Like That".
@@ImpossibleCaseEdits thank you for the info
This song is much better than a lot of songs on VOYAGE!
Don’t b silly
Just like that baby I love you baby and your singing love songs anetha I love you baby with all my heart baby ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Should have put it on the new album as a bonus track.
Or in place of little things
Sounds legit 👍
What could've been. But of course constantly singing for ten years is enough to burn anyone out.
Bella canzone interpretata divinamente come sempre...Due voci favolose insieme dimostrano la loro capacità........😊
My favourite JLT version
❤❤❤
❤ 감사합니다
Just entertaing enough to listen to it.
I have accepted that this will not be reworked as i believe the final ultimate version of the song is by Gemini. End of ..but you never know, it doesnt mean I wouldnt love to hear the ladies' voices doing it.😂❤
Benny has expressed not being totally satisfied with the Gemini version either.
♥♥
👍👍👍👍👍
They use the Under Attack motif
This song is so clever where it changes tempo fir dramatic effect between chorus and regular lines.
De sange river mit hjerte ud af mit bryst,thank you for the music,Abba,AbHa.😂.
🙌💫🎶💫🙌🌻🌟✌️

Как печально.все было .любовь.популярность.и в миг ушло.как быстротечна жизнь.

Why did they reject this song?! It's gorgeous. I think they have music to a new album. Songs hidden somewhere....
It's released by another swedish group called Gemini.
Well known as the siblings Karin and Anders Glenmark.
Absolutely worth listen to.
And the composers are still Bjoern and Benny.
Плохая версия у близнецов.
Very recently Benny made it clear that Just Like That will never be released. He said it has a good chorus, but the rest is not up to standard.
And that's why I'd look at him and say: "You're so stupid!" 😂
Abba konnte auch nur lala oder nana singen und waren trotzdem erfolgreich.
Think they should have the sax in..
😂
Hahahahaha........
The most fantasyic combinstion of ladies' voices.. that,'s why we continue listening these amazing zongs.. however, guys thank you too for your talent of writing songs..bottom line you are a great 4
