- Stephen Mann plays ABBA from English Martyrs Church, Whalley Range, Manchester.
The Bass line on the original song is quite funky on bass guitar - Here, I try to play that bass line on the Organ Pedals.
i was not expecting all these abba covers on the organ, god bless the internet
there is a moment where a minor scale chord turns into a major scale chord
it's pure masterpiece
What moment is that?

Let's not forget that the music by ABBA is very well engineered and composed instead of some easy poppy production. Hearing this on the organ prooves it.
For that matter: I'd love to hear the ABBA repertoire on a Hammond B3 :)
Listening with headphones....3:45 Shivers from my spine
If the lyrics weren't so inappropriate, I'd love this played at my wedding - it sounds so beautiful played on the organ.
Well, not so long ago I made arrangements for a surprise 44th wedding anniversary for my wife and I. Started about 18 months before the anniversary date booking the reception hall and then the church. The church didn't normally permit popular music to be played, but the Priest said that since it wasn't an actual wedding, I could go ahead. So I booked the church pianist/organist as well and had her find some paper music for several of my favorite Abba songs. After selling my wife on the scam that this evening was actually an awards celebration for me (in order to get her into a new gown and all the other frills) I managed to sidetrack her with an early dinner with some special friends and, to kill some time before the 7:30 awards, got her then to visit her family home (now owned by someone else) for some outside photos, then a shot or two at her old high school, and then on the way to the reception hall a further shot or two outside her family church in which we were originally supposed to be married (a fire had caused the venue to be moved). Of course, once there, I took her inside as well. Several Abba tunes had been playing on the organ for 20 minutes before entering, and I had keyed up the organist to play one more for the walk down the aisle. My wife thought we were interrupting a church function and tried to get me to exit with her. But then the grandkids ran out of hiding and caught her in complete surprise near the rear pew. She was in genuine shock asking 'what are you guys doing here' and receiving the reply that they were 'supposed to walk her down the aisle'. The tears then flowed as she was handed her flowers and then took the walk while the organ played 'One Of Us' my favorite Abba tune, this time sans lyrics. The song is so special to me, and contributed to the wonderful evening.
@@boblist88 This is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.
@@boblist88 wow, such a beautiful story😭 so romantic... God Bless you good man I hope you and you're wonderful wife are healthy and safe ❤️
True abosolutely correct
This was on top of my ABBA list at the end of a 5 year relationship.
Jide Charles Bless you! I truly hope everything is going well now. You deserve all the happiness you can get! 💕
@@alanaadornato5523 Thank you for the kind wishes. That happened several years ago. I am happily married now, with a son. Bless your heart.
I am completely ironed. ABBA-Fan since Brighton 1974 until their death and beyond. I got a new sight on their songs because I also love organ. And this bright sympathic smile for the audience at the end... 😘😍
This man is somehow of its own and that's simply genius
Wow, simply put. Organ sounds amazing for this wonderful piece of Abba's
3:50 gave me some tears.
Me too
I cant stop listening to this version!!!!
Спасибо! От этой музыки в исполнении на органе , мурашки по коже пробежались!!!
I have listened to almost all of this gentleman's renditions of ABBA's music on the church organ. It wasn't until this one that I realized that all of them were written for, and intended to be performed on, an organ. Brilliant!
A little tear just fell off my cheek and made a ripple into my soup
Reminiscent of a Bach cantata at the start. Divine! Thank you.
thank you for this masterpiece, i cry every time i listen that, i wish i could hear that on my wedding day, dont care about lyrics, that just sounds beautiful
ABBA's musical influence has no boundaries.
Superb. 👍
Of all the abbasongs on organ I heard ( all loveley) but this one beats it all. Beautifull for my funerall
They passed me by, all of those great romances
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it's different, I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That's how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
Never left at all
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
You did a wonderful job, Mr Mann. 😊 Thank you.
You've made a masterpiece!
Thank you Oli.
Tack så mycket!!
The ending really brought it home! This song is well-suited for the church organ.
When they should play this music in the Church, more people should come with pleasure and enjuy every minute of it.
Well done Stephen !
Apart from the beautiful playing, the excellent state of the Organ needs to be complimented.
One of the most magnificent moments on u tube. Thank you.
Bravo Stephen ... your work deserves much wider appreciation.
