    The members of ABBA have no idea how meaningful their music is to everyone's lives. There is an ABBA song for every emotion.

      That's beautifully put! There's literally an ABBA song for each mood, stage of life and situation!

    ❤ABBA 50 years greetings from coastal Mississippi. I have listened to ABBA for 50 years. They are the greatest group ever. Every song reflects a part of the celebration of life. My favourite songs are Thank you for the Music , Angel Eyes and Man after Midnight 😂🎉

    well good day to you. i'm not sure who you are who posted this, but i must say that i was just thrilled to hear bjorn speaking.
    what a gracious man.
    to have been in the best pop band ever {i knew there might, just might, be a couple of thousand people around the world who might disagree with this true statement, lol} and to speak to so humbly confirms my realisation of what a wonderful man he must be.
    like so many of us appreciative fans: abba have been with me my whole life too. from the moment they walked onto the stage in 1974 and every day since to this day i have loved them. almost all of their songs are very good. their collection of masterpieces is staggering.
    they have been a huuuuuuuuge part of my musical life. when i'm happy i listen to abba. when i'm unhappy i listen to happy. and all of the emotions between. they lift me up.
    abba were/is/are and always will be relevant. the four of them as individuals are incredibly talented, but combined they reach perfection time and time and time again. or should i have written on and on and on ...
    my proclamation is simple: my life has been better because of these four earth angels.
    and to read all of the worldwide comments in all of these delightful languages {thank god for google translate}, clearly so many of us feel blessed to have had them play such a major part of their lives too. no surprise. just joy.
    i will love abba for the rest of this lifetime, and who knows maybe even beyond?
    i am so eternally grateful to them for the contribution to the improvement of this world.
    what more of a legacy could one leave?
    love and peace to you and all,
    xxxxxxx

      @frankpaul3479 : Yes, ditto. 🤗
      And as you mention beyond this lifetime, the word that Jesus called God was "ABBA"!
      It means "father" or "Daddy". This was mentioned in ABBA # The Movie in 1977.

    I was blessed to see ABBA at Birmingham Odeon on Feb 10 1977 for the 1st concert of their 1st ever English tour and again at Wembley in 1979, not realising it would be their last concert. In all honesty, 1st show was best, Arrival and Dancing Queen were at No 1 and vibe was brilliant. Although both shows were superb (my God those girls could sing!) the Wembley show made me sad and I didnt know why. Now I do. It was ending and when Bjorn introduced Agnetha for her solo song with the words "my old friend" it sounded totally bizarre. I'll always love these guys. They wrote the most Glorious pop music ever and the live shows were unforgettable. ❤
