I knew Madonna is a great singer. And she perfectly performed her Hung Up over a sequence of "Gimme!Gimme! Gimme!" by Abba. But this version of my very beloved song absolute crushed me. Wonderful job, Madonna. Different from Frida, but absolutely genious! Congratulations. She really must be a fan of ABBA, with so much depth in her interpetation of this heavenly mindtaking song.
Not to mention that she tackled what is certainly one of their deepest, least-known songs. She's obviously paid attention to their repertoire - not just the hits.
@@Cicilo1983 Great observation Cicilo!Abba's version has an impactful sad painful sense.Madonna's version sounds more tender to me.Both moving cause of both being sincerely emotional and heartfelt..
I have to admit I havealways had a certain degree of admiration for Madonna. This beautiful version of the ABBA classic only consolidates that admirationt. She treats the song with a great deal of respect and I am sure ABBA would agree that it is a very dignified interpretation of their work. Very pleasant to listen to. Thank you, Her Madgesty!
Again, Lady Madonna makes me want to cry. Cover or original, this brillant Detroit Rocker has a beautiful voice. Thank you Madonna for Inspiring Me! You Are Love!
Madonna! OMG! I never dreamed that her covered ABBA. Yet, so beautifully. This is a testament to the quality and beauty of Benny's compositions. ABBA, you are humanity's joy and comfort.
@@anderlundberg9297 where are Björns Solo Albums ? Where is his Studio with Glas Front to the sea ? Never built. Benny is the genius behind all the Songs.Björn is ,,only,, the lyricist and at the Abba times to order something with his analytic sensor and some guitar riffs.
I grew up with Abba songs in 70's,then i found Madonna in 80's.and felt in love with her too. We are now in 2018 and i have just one big dream..I wish to see Abba & Madonna together on stage performing their new tracks from their new Albums..singing "Gimme, gimme /Hung up" somewhere between..
ABBA and Madonna through their beautiful ballads are metaphorically shining light and giving hope in the dark world of pain, loss, and despair. This 1981 ABBA song and Rose Royce’s 1978 Love Don’t Live Here Anymore, were said to be pre-fame personal favorites of Madonna.
In a sad future time when madonna is no longer with us, this and many more unreleased gems will become available. Shame she wont release them now and enjoy the pleasure it brings.
Please do not mention Madonna s death. Nomi s, Mercury s, Bowie s, Whinehouse s, Cohen s....not this icone. The planet is failing...we are all dying, hanging on music to keep us warm...
Gosh!😲 I'm more than a little tetchy about ANYone doing Abba covers - like How Very Dare You!!! but this is truly wonderful , I love it. And Awh😥 back when Madonna had a human voice that wasn't 50% autotune, and she sounds stunning and beautiful💖😪💘
Beautiful version. She should have included it on an album! Plus it would have followed on her theme of "like a...." Like a virgin Like a prayer Like a flower .........
Heavenly interpretation. The other half was heartbreaking. Great combinations with contemporary sound effects. Indeed, whoever realized it has great taste.
I am shocked to be honest....I thought she would WRECK this GREAT song, but she stood true to the original....SUCH a beautiful song......respect to Madonna for her respectful treatment....One of the most UNDER-RATED songs EVER....
It's true never the original version could be replaced but man! madonna ruled this song, I dont have a favorite (Im ABBA fan) two both got their own magic, that part when Madonna sings "I closed my eyes....goooone to sooon" really thrill my senses.
This was a great revelation to me, unreleased yet so worthwhile. I always loved this ABBA song but Madonna makes a greatly refreshing, sensual and remarkable version of it.
I love the original Abba version and purity and emotion in Frida's voice. But this is lovely too and I thought Madonna sounded absolutely lovely. Benny and Bjorn crafted beautiful music and I am sure Madonna was well aware of that. I appreciate her recording this and would have loved to have seen it released.
Madonna baby you should make an album of all your awesome and beautiful unreleased songs. I love this!!! It's like an angel singing in my ear calming my weary heart. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love you in all infinity multiplied by forever. You are one of my best songbirds. Bless you for always being there ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Hearts is not enough. For you a thousand neverending hearts. Love you always...
A very sad song i feel. By mistake I gave a copy of this song to my sister -in -law to be.I had not realized just how depressed she had become. After being together with my brother for 12 years they were to be married. Two months before the set date he died of a sudden heart attack. 18 months later she committed suicide. So now it's sad for me also. Very haunting .She had changed her name by depol to my brother's surname, And she was buried next to him in her wedding gown. At his funeral She had him dressed in a wedding suit and we all wore corsages that she wanted us to wear and also had white Limousines for the coffin and families as if we were going to a wedding So for me the song is very haunting .
Madonna should have included this song and the original Erotica she performed at the confession tour on GHV2! Stupid Decision just like they didn't want Impressive Instant released. Such an amazing cover song. She always records the best ballads.
Fantastic vocals, peaceful, dramatic, a masterpiece, I agree the best Abba cover! Such a waste! Thank god for youtube! I love the uploader! Thanks! I'd kill to have this on a proper future Madonna CD! Itunes could make a furtune! It could have been a No. 1 Hit with a great video! Why oh why....what happend?
Long awaited darkness falls Casting shadows on the walls In the twilight hour, I am alone Sitting near the fireplace Dying embers warm my face In this peaceful solitude All the outside world subdued Everything comes back to me again In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room Half awake and half in dreams Seeing long forgotten scenes So the present runs into the past Now and then become entwined Playing games within my mind Like the embers, as they die Love was one prolonged goodbye And it all comes back to me tonight In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room I close my eyes And my twilight images go by All too soon Like an angel passing through my room Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Benny Goran Bror Andersson / Bjoern K.

William Orbit and Madonna always created such amazing music together. Most of the unreleased music I find that I like, I find out it's produced by Orbit and I'm like ahh that explains it!
LIKE AN ANGEL PASSING THROUGH MY ROOM...TRANSLATE TO SPANISH...´´COMO UN ANGEL QUE PASA POR MI CUARTO´´......ABBA AND MADONNA.....NICE COVER...GREETINGS FOR ARGENTINA
NObody has sung this lovely song as beautifully or with as much emotion as Sissel Kyrkjebø, especially last July at the Mormon Tabernacle, with piano accompaniment only, during the "Pioneer Days" celebration. 💖
I’m usually very critical when it comes to Abba covers as most of the time the song ends up butchered. Abba is a hard act to follow, but Madonna really nailed this one. She captured the essence of the song.
Im a Great Fan of ABBa and Madonna and Im pretty sure Madonna did not cover this song to say shes Better than Frida so stop to compare which version is better, Madonna has always showed respect to ABBA and she has always spread her love for ABBA, this is a tribute, a beautiful version and sweet voice.
I don't care what anyone says, no matter if it's ABBA or ths one, I have to say this song is awesome. no disrespect to ABBA, I love this one. I'm really greatly dissappointed it's not released at all. and it's very hard to get this music. this is a very beautilful, angelic version. i really wish she could find a way to release it.
i must admist that this cover kills it!!! But Frida is so much into the emotional - and sings it so better!!! Nobody sings better than FRIDA; so, there's no hate here!!! And I absolutely LOVE MADONNA ;)
Now THAT is what you call a decent cover of an ABBA track . Why in the world this wasn’t realeased is anyone’s guess
I knew Madonna is a great singer. And she perfectly performed her Hung Up over a sequence of "Gimme!Gimme! Gimme!" by Abba. But this version of my very beloved song absolute crushed me.

Perfectly said. I couldn't agree more. You're absolutely right!

I'm big fan but never hear so beautiful
By the queen
one of my favourite songs of all time, covered by my favourite artist of all time. Simply stunning. This definitely needs to be released
Madonna still an under rated singer! Respect the queen

ABBA and Madonna sounds like angels passing through my room. I like them both. Great cover.
😍😍😍😍
May their spirits be in your room in reality.
Yes is good, but too much fast... Beutiful in any way. I am crying. Xxxxxxxxxx
Criminal this has more views than the original ABBA song which is hauntingly beautiful.
@@CarlosSanchez-no4lj Thought the same when it started.
Again, Lady Madonna makes me want to cry. Cover or original, this brillant Detroit Rocker has a beautiful voice. Thank you Madonna for Inspiring Me! You Are Love!
Madonna! OMG! I never dreamed that her covered ABBA. Yet, so beautifully. This is a testament to the quality and beauty of Benny's compositions. ABBA, you are humanity's joy and comfort.
The Compositions are done by Bjorn and benny - If You Think Benny did all the Music you´re werry wrong
@@anderlundberg9297 where are Björns Solo Albums ? Where is his Studio with Glas Front to the sea ? Never built.
Benny is the genius behind all the Songs.Björn is ,,only,, the lyricist and at the Abba times to order something with his analytic sensor and some guitar riffs.
@@Urfinchannel oh dear you are even wronger!
@@anderlundberg9297 you are werry werry right about that!
wow... big mistake not to release this. wonderful.
Wow seriously wow...the voice is angelic and immaculate! Madonna did an amazing cover version of this song!

Hey, my friend, this is my history too! 😁😁😁
Brilliant, wouldn't that be sweet. X
There is a strage link between ABBA and Madonna. Maybe the melancholy of their music
Oh boy do I have good news for you. 😀😀😀
@@chrisjaytabarejo1180 YES
Madonna must record a new ballads album before she gets too old. Her voice is soothing and full of emotion
God this is great. Madonna covering a song from my favorite ABBA album, what's not to love.
Hey did you ever live in Newburgh NY?
This is on ABBA’s final album The Visitors-which is a dark pop affair worth listening to. Probably my favorite album of theirs.
not their final album anymore)))
The Visitors album is an absolute masterpiece, musical royalty of the highest order.
Agree

In a sad future time when madonna is no longer with us, this and many more unreleased gems will become available. Shame she wont release them now and enjoy the pleasure it brings.
she didn’t release this because it’s a cover
thinking of the future that way is depressing!!! :(
Please do not mention Madonna s death. Nomi s, Mercury s, Bowie s, Whinehouse s, Cohen s....not this icone. The planet is failing...we are all dying, hanging on music to keep us warm...
It's a very nice cover. Nothing compares with the haunting vocals of the original, but I enjoyed this version. She needs to release it.

Gorgeous. Just different enough from the ABBA version, but not different enough to ruin it.
An effortless , perfect vocals from Madonna. Quite hypnotic.
Such an underated artist! Scary how underrated!
Madonna? Underrated???
It's a cover of an ABBA classic of course.
Beautiful version. She should have included it on an album! Plus it would have followed on her theme of "like a...."
Like a virgin
Like a prayer
Like a flower
.........
WOW! First time hearing this. Excellent cover version! ❤️
OMG! This song sings my soul! 🙏 Madonna is an amazing artist! Good luck to her! She is an amazing person! Angelic tones! 😇💖
What i also love about Madonna is that one can clearly hear every word she sings, unlike so many others!
That’s beautiful Madonna!! Love your voice , is so unique!!
Heavenly interpretation. The other half was heartbreaking. Great combinations with contemporary sound effects. Indeed, whoever realized it has great taste.
I am shocked to be honest....I thought she would WRECK this GREAT song, but she stood true to the original....SUCH a beautiful song......respect to Madonna for her respectful treatment....One of the most UNDER-RATED songs EVER....
It's about coming to the end of life . Only ABBA can write ✍️ a song so beautiful
Her voice sounded so beautiful here.Love this song so much
Wonderful magical rendition! 💯👏🏼👑💐🕊
This song was actually recorded during "Music" sessions. I read from an article that Madonna and William Orbit recorded this 1999. :)
It's true never the original version could be replaced but man! madonna ruled this song, I dont have a favorite (Im ABBA fan) two both got their own magic, that part when Madonna sings "I closed my eyes....goooone to sooon" really thrill my senses.
This is an amazing version of this song!!! OMG, Madonna put her theatric pop spin on it. It really moved me....
She sounds melodically angelic! 🕊️🌹
Madonna has one of the most romantic voices in the world. So beautiful.
The production is amazing. Haunting but beautiful
I was sceptical, but great job!
Great version, Madonna has made it her own with this very respectable cover of an abba classic!
Should have been released. Thought it was an album track till I saw this. Amazing!
Probably one of her greatest songs. It's stunning and a beautiful cover.
I'm aware of that. Bjorn and Benny heard it and were blown away. No idea what Agnetha or Anna-Frid has ever heard it, I'm sure they have.
This was a great revelation to me, unreleased yet so worthwhile. I always loved this ABBA song but Madonna makes a greatly refreshing, sensual and remarkable version of it.
I listen to this non stop every year around the holiday season
I've heard a lot of ABBA influence in Madonna's later work. Had not heard this piece before and I find it quite lovely.
What a beautiful cover of one of my favourite ABBA tunes. I love ABBA.
I love the original Abba version and purity and emotion in Frida's voice. But this is lovely too and I thought Madonna sounded absolutely lovely. Benny and Bjorn crafted beautiful music and I am sure Madonna was well aware of that. I appreciate her recording this and would have loved to have seen it released.
Madonna te amoooooooooooo por hacer este hermoso cover de ABBA
Good job Madonna. Lovely rendition of a beautiful song.
Wonderful Music. I love Music from Abba and Madonna.
Beautiful Abba cover-Madonna's sad and brilliant!
Why oh why didn't she release this...just magical
Original version with Frida's amazing vocal...stunning

i love this only just found it
Madonna should have included this song and the original Erotica she performed at the confession tour on GHV2! Stupid Decision just like they didn't want Impressive Instant released. Such an amazing cover song. She always records the best ballads.
Angelic song 🎵 sweetly perfect performance Madonna ❤❤❤❤
Wat a beautiful song well done Madonna for taking it on annafrida song it so beautifully too ❤
it's so sweet. Magic, her way to sing same melodies is wonderful. Beautiful song.
A lovely cover version of a lovely song.
Very impressed with this version.
emotional , unique , special , great madonna
AND MADONNA IS ALWAYS YOUNG BECAUSE SHE IS THIN AND HAS A BABY FACE ..HA HA HA ....GREETINGS FOR ARGENTINA
Not big on ABBA covers but Madonna nailed this song, one of my faves from the Visitors.
🤩Wow, thank you Madonna, but Frida did it bettet,Abba girls are unbeatebal vocaly because the songs was written for them to sing
Fantastic vocals, peaceful, dramatic, a masterpiece, I agree the best Abba cover!
Such a waste! Thank god for youtube! I love the uploader! Thanks! I'd kill to have this on a proper future Madonna CD! Itunes could make a furtune! It could have been a No. 1 Hit with a great video! Why oh why....what happend?
Madonna does a great job on this Abba cover! When will Warner or Universal release her unreleased work! I want it now!
Abba and Madonna rock. 😇😇🤙🤙🤙🤙
Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls
In the twilight hour, I am alone
Sitting near the fireplace
Dying embers warm my face
In this peaceful solitude
All the outside world subdued
Everything comes back to me again
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room
Half awake and half in dreams
Seeing long forgotten scenes
So the present runs into the past
Now and then become entwined
Playing games within my mind
Like the embers, as they die
Love was one prolonged goodbye
And it all comes back to me tonight
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room
I close my eyes
And my twilight images go by
All too soon
Like an angel passing through my room

I like it. i'm still waiting for the Unreleased/B-Side tracks CD.
I love how this suits her voice perfectly. I would do without so much reverb on her voice though.
Beautiful both versions are beautiful
AWESOME
This is actually a very good version! Kudos To Mr Orbit!!! (Not Better Than Abba's Though!, That phrase doesn't exist...
agreed....
One of ABBA weakest songs
Two different versions. None is better than the other.
William Orbit and Madonna always created such amazing music together. Most of the unreleased music I find that I like, I find out it's produced by Orbit and I'm like ahh that explains it!
Typical 90 sound by William Orbit,not giving me goosebumps like the Abba original.
So beautiful.

What a voice. Its sound like an original
What a beautiful version love ABBA and Madonna
ABBA is the very best. Only Madonna is the worthy represantative, to sing THIS so emotional song
You need to listen to Sissel from Norway. She absolutely slays this song
NObody has sung this lovely song as beautifully or with as much emotion as Sissel Kyrkjebø, especially last July at the Mormon Tabernacle, with piano accompaniment only, during the "Pioneer Days" celebration. 💖
Interprétée par Frida, du groupe ABBA, c'est sublime.
Ici, revisitée par Madonna, c'est magnifique.
Toutes les deux ont leur charme et leur magie.
Such a sweet song
hope Madonna can sing like this again! Hauntingly beautiful!
I’m usually very critical when it comes to Abba covers as most of the time the song ends up butchered. Abba is a hard act to follow, but Madonna really nailed this one. She captured the essence of the song.
grande cover e …..grande madonna!
Beautifully sung.
@@chevylover203 Certainly is. I can't understand why she didn't release it.
Maybe one day she will, until then at least we have her on UA-cam.
Conheço a versão da Nina Hagen a décadas, e hoje conheci a da Madonna. As duas são igualmente emocionantes!!! Obrigado por ter postado esse video.

Como se ve que no sabes nada de musica Frida es messoprano ella es clasica no hay comparacion
@eklund86 so right, the emotion Frida showed, during that performance, all ABBA fans will remember forever.
I don't care what anyone says, no matter if it's ABBA or ths one, I have to say this song is awesome. no disrespect to ABBA, I love this one. I'm really greatly dissappointed it's not released at all. and it's very hard to get this music. this is a very beautilful, angelic version. i really wish she could find a way to release it.
beautiful voice....great madonna
Beautiful song by both Frida and Madonna ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great cover of this wonderful ABBA song.
sweet lullaby...
Agree that it’s a respectful cover ...like to see more artists doing covers ,favorite songs , great singers ....great!!!!
i must admist that this cover kills it!!! But Frida is so much into the emotional - and sings it so better!!!
Nobody sings better than FRIDA; so, there's no hate here!!!
And I absolutely LOVE MADONNA ;)
Agree with you, this time an un released song for good purpose, thumb up to Frida, bye from France with my basic English...
i love it...
... like the embers as they die,
love was one prolonged goodbye ...
bellisima voz MADONNA es una diosa bella cancion
this is the best cover of any abba song
rather like it,though Frida is the queen of this song
agreed...
I´m too
I love this version.
