Been hunting for covers of this song. This is the best one I've heard. Effective and understated. Melancholic, regretful, yearning. wonderful. thanks for posting.
having known this song for over 45 years now, yep Im a very old ABBA fan, I think your version and voice take it to a different place. ABBA's songs were often deep lyrically but cloked in a happy-clappy pop style. Here you take it back to the depths of Scandanavian melancholy. Loved it.
A darker version of one of my ABBA favorites. It sounds less hopeful than the original. Like it's past the point of no return for too long a time. But then, you finally sound like your reaching out to your failing lover starting at 2:35. The original song reaches out every time with that powerful, hopeful chorus - and one believes that there's still a chance for love. To shake and wake up the love that still might be inside of them. There is more of a balance of hope and despair throughout the original song. But you still did a good cover. And it's your interpretation. Audio sounds great too. Well done.
Hey Derrida, cheers for this nice comment all those years ago! .. Good news is I have finally released this 🆘 cover TODAY! Have a listen 👉🏻 ffm.to/marthasos/
Hey Carl, thank YOU! Sorry I never responded sooner but I'm pretty crap at youtube! Thought you might like to know I have finally released this 🆘 cover TODAY! Have a listen 👉🏻 ffm.to/marthasos/
I think a lot of artists cave to producers who are only concerned about the current trends and what sells. It's sad that the artist can't express their emotions in songs anymore. Raw acoustic is the best.
Excelente trabajo Martha, muy buena versión, principalmente por tu manera tan sentida de interpretar el tema... tocaste mi corazón... felicitaciones desde Caracas, Venezuela.!!!
Stumbled across this whilst looking for the polar opposite, a rock cover.... this though... the melancholy weight of the tune. Such a different dynamic. Simply awesome !
It can be a rendition and added to musical as Donna dies not physically but her character and her presence in short being in comma and forgets everything. Wow nice rendition of the song. Your parents must be proud of you.😊
Hey Marcos! Thanks so much for your lovely comment (album is finished and on the way!) .. Good news I have finally released this 🆘 cover TODAY! Have a listen 👉🏻 ffm.to/marthasos/

Beautiful low melancholic singing and tasteful sensitive guitarplaying. And nice changes in the singing. Personally i would leave out the high leadvocal near the end.

lyric
Where are those happy days
They seem so hard to find
I try to reach for you
But you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice
It used to be so good
So when you're near me
Darling, can't you hear me, S.O.S.
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try, how can I carry on?
You seemed so far away
Though you were standing near
You made me feel alive
But something died, I fear
I really tried to make it up
I wish I understood
What happened to our love?
It used to be so good
So when you're near me
Darling, can't you hear me, S.O.S.
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try, how can I carry on?
So when you're near me
Darling, can't you hear me, S.O.S.
And the love you gave me
Nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try, how can I carry on?
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try, how can I carry on?
So good!!
Okay this is brilliant
