Bjorn was right when he said on a UK interview that he was surprised Under Attack didn't become a big hit at the time. This song is awesome! Pure ABBA!!!🎊
I wouldn't be suprised if this song was one of the chosen for the ABBAtar concert in London in 2022.
Agree the vocals are just awesome.
Under Attack was a very good song but I think the fans were used to more melodic songs from Abba. The expectation of ABBA songs was very high then and still is today. With any other band, Under Attack would probably have been a big hit.
I really agree with you. The arrangements (instrumental and vocal) are colder than what people were used to from the band, and the song is probably too midtempo for its own good. They were trying to adapt to the times, however, you have to give them that, even though the effort was half-convincing (in my opinion, at least).
The song is too laid back and generic to have been a hit. No offense but the women are dressed like wealthy 40 year olds in the video. This did not sell well in the new MTV era that was just beginning. ABBA's low budget film based music videos in the mid 1970's were ahead of their time and novel, but this video appears to be a low budget obligation compared to the newer music video themes coming out at the time.
Here because of BDG. I regret not knowing of this sooner.
I see you're also a person of exquisite tastes lol
Who would win in a three way fight between David, Brian, and Gilbert? P.s. im here because my roomate didn't know abba

Herzlich Willkommen es ist nie zu spät. 😍
Idk, maybe we shouldn't be on the robot's side on this one…
One of ABBA's best songs, yet barely made the charts. But as history now shows it's a very popular song
True there
It’s BRILLIANT song! Always in my ABBA top 5.
Abba forever in my heart ❤
Yeah it only reached in the top 5 charts of the nederlands & belgium at average😁🤣
Never heard this song but I love the BDG cover that came out earlier today, probably yesterday at this point but maybe I’ll like this one too
Это была последняя песня группы перед распадом.

And when they said "goodbye" and walked away they actually meant "see you later, in 40 years", and now they're back: soft, shiny, smiley and optimistic, adequate and classy.
Welcome back to our lives, ABBA! ❤️️❤️️❤️️🎹🎵🎸
Here,here ..
VOYAGE!!!
Cuando escucho esta canción siento como una despedida
@@teoactor92yo también siento eso como una despedida de abba pero no imaginé que regresarían después de mucho tiempo
i have been guided here from the unequivocally best cover of this song of all time by a murder robot
BDG is a source of good in the world, and it's awesome when he points us to other sources of good, like this ABBA song right here
And three cool quadruplets
Some ABBA fans bitch about their final music and The Visitors album because the songs aren't as happy and cheerful as older material. But, it's actually the best, most mature and thoughtful music they did.
Real fans never bitch about any ABBA song or album!!!
I won't say it is more mature just because it is darker and some lyrics are political or clearly personal. Surely, they sound like that bc it reflects their state at that time. But, I think, musically it is not more mature. Previous albums, I'd say, are more mature in that sense. Lyrically, yes, Vistiors are more personal. But many ABBA songs (at least since album ABBA) have sad or reflective lyrics beneath seemingly upbeat music (Voulez-Vous, for example, quite moody and unsettling - in music and lyrics are quite ambiguous).
@ To each his own. I love all the songs on this album but one. Their happy stuff is with a tinge of sadness and melancholy too.
I so agree! "The Visitors" is by far the best album they ever did. The music is truly beautiful, and quite different from anything they did before. They'd always veered towards melancholy underneath their cheery Europop, but this album was quite special. "I Let the Music Speak" is my favourite, it is like poetry set to music, but "The Visitors" and "The Piper" are close seconds. I got the album when it came out, so a LP, without the bonus tracks (including this one). Any REAL fan, not Johnny-Come-Latelys, would recognise this. I've followed them since 1976 when I was a tiny kid, and I think this album was the culmination of their brilliant work.
@@helenhunt5414 Not too surprising since especially Benny are influenced by Swedish folk music that most times has a string of melancholy 😉
Criminally underrated song..should have been a no1.....
In the UK ABBA seemed to decline in popularity after the Super Trouper album even though The Visitors album was number 1 in the charts at the time the singles didn't do too well.
Agnetha and Frida’s voices always harmonized together so perfectly! Both then and now. Thank you for the music ABBA!
True !. But actually, it´s not a coincident. Not solely at least. "B & B" and their manager Stikkan Andersson (no, they´re not relatives) made a huge investmest in building up a music studio from the ground, called "Polar studios", in Stockholm. One of the most high end, technologically advanced recording facilities in the world at the time, it offered complete new realms for SOUNDS. Not just MUSIC ! (like "video game space war effects", simply from the plain fact that they had pea soup for lunch !. No, just kidding). Partly under the influence of the mastermind on the area, Michael B. Tretow, completely new ideas found its forms in there. And "fine tuned mixing ("layer on layer") of vocal´s", was ONE part of that. -Back up vocal´s/chorus harmonies to begin with (i would guess). But they must have realised the true prospect of mix together the well trained and experienced vocal voices from Frida and Agnetha, into one single "Super Abba voice", and then there were no way back apparently !. "Voulez-Vous" was their first album to be recorded in "Polar studios" back in 1979, AND YOU CAN TELL IT !. "Angeleyes" isn´t among my Abba favorites, but DAMN, "the unified vocal voice" sounds ABSOLUTE MAGNIFICENT IN IT !. And so does the title song "Voulez vous". "Il grande momentum" in this regard came with [what then seemed to be] their final album "The visitors", and "ONE OF US" !. But don´t get me wrong, of course Abba did smart and advanced sound effects/mixes, long before the "Polar studios" era. But if you go back to the earliest albums in 1973/74, you can hear a distinct lesser amount and level of such methodologies (yeeh, all four of ém sings there, just like a song quartet !!. Who did they think they were ?. "The Manhattan transfer" ?!..)
Hearing how their voices harmonized is still magical.
Райское наслаждение их слушать !
That's the best part of the entire song and the reason I liked this
I have been binge watching n listening to ABBA since voyage came out I can't get enough
@@jonathanfurzeland4740 huh
@@jonathanfurzeland4740 I like you owe me one
In 1982, they walked out.
In 2021, they came back. ABBA Voyage
In 2022: ABBAtar
ABBA plays EVERY tune like a #1 song. The world is graced by their professionalism and passion.
The nuclear result when the four gems united!
man, i hope the robots don't get them
I never heard this before BDGs AAAAAAH!BBA rendition and I see how it can be a robot uprising song
It is so different from the rest of their catalog, it makes me wonder if this was patient zero for the whole AAAH!BBA experience.
everytime i listen a song from ABBA i say " its my favorite song"
Here in Austria, no ones really Knows ABBA (some do.) Everytime a Song comes on, on the Radio. I max the Volume and sing along. The Shame is worth it. ABBA brightens my day!
+Bill Jenson What the? They never were Boring.
He meant the songs of today.
Maybe the younger generation these days don't know them much, but the older generation def know Abba, they were talk no. 1 in the 70's to early 80's, but were ousted in the early 80's by the New Wave & New Romantics movement/scene.
Absolutely correct.... But today they sold more than 400 million albums... not to mention Bennys musical successes... Try to get to Stockholm and go the Mama Mia the Party... Currently the Greatest show in Europe....
Imagine you're driving down a street in some industrial district, you pass a warehouse with garage doors slowly opening. Nothing unusual about that, you think, but out comes ABBA. Pretty epic.
Yeas please🙏 make it happen now please😘
Stuart McConaghy Lol
Me when I see them: OMG ITS ABBA!can I take photo with u guys?
Rather like the fifth Beatle, the man in the background of their Abbey Road album. All he did was step outside at just the right moment to become a part of music legend!
And then you see this video 40 years later
And you never hear another abba song again
Finally, after 40 years, ABBA is back... #abba_voyage. Couldn't be more happier in 2021. Take me back ABBA
Thankfully, they are all still alive and well. It will be great to see Abba reunited even if just once.
It was all about making peace after the divorces
This is the perfect way to end a group/band. It's just really upsetting that they had to break up, but I love how they didn't really kept it silent, and recorded and filmed their final song which is one of the best, yet underrated song they have done. The ending really killed me as all 4 of them left the place. I am a 2000s kid, but thanks to my mom, ABBA has been part of my childhood. Thank you for the music, it will still be enjoyed by thousands even millions of people.
I like "When All Is Said and Done" better than this one...That one was also on the final album.
They are all still living be thank ful
Sheila Thompson I know, thank goodness for that! I’m have been waiting for their comeback songs for the past few years and it was announced that they will release it later this year. Can’t wait!
Same!!!
@@terryc.3390 I prefer “The Day Before You Came” as their “goodbye” song and actually that was the last song they recorded (until we don’t hear their “new” songs.
One of the few bands I actually cried for when they stopped recording. They brought so much joy to my life for so many years.
yes I agree I was at the laundromat helping out my mother..and there was a rolling stone magazine there and I read that ABBA had disbanded and I was shocked and depressed then.
Well you've only got until December to wait now!
They knew the right time to quit. It is better to retire than do like the Rolling Stones who are not a shade of what they were
Scott so did I ABBA are were and always will be my Number 1 fave band ever
Your not alone Scott, I cried too when ABBA Called it a day in 1982, But their is some good news according to some media resources that ABBA New music is being release this Autumn 2020.
shoutouts to 2winz^2... showed me the way to this awesome tune
Perfect song to jam out to during the robot apocalypse!
Oh my god this has been conquered by BDG fans and I love it

This video is like a prophecy. When they walked out of the warehouse at the end; they walked out of our lives. They walked out of ABBA. They walked out of world superstardom. They walked out of their marriages. They walked out of the business. They walked out of the public eye. It is sad. All we have left is their music, their videos, their youthfulness, their being happy couples........the good old days......when ABBA ruled the world. All we can do now is trade stories and reminisce. If you were fortunate enough to see them perform live it is something that is sure to remain one of the highlights of your life. Agnetha & Frida were the 2 most recognizable people on earth. When ABBA ruled the world.
And they walk into a bright light, like four angels who have blessed us for a time but now must return to heaven (or whatever you call the other side).
Their music, thank God, will always be with us. I've loved them for nearly four decades and their music never gets old; all it takes to put a smile on my face is to hear that beautiful sound.
isn't that the truth. You hear the voices of ABBA & you cannot help but smile.
My sentiments exactly - one of my fave songs because of this.
so true,that was the end of them,so sad,this video and single was the last of them,release in 1983....they feel the times were about to change.
MrLeonard750 I think I read somewhere that their last single was actually "The Day Before You Came" but it was some time ago; I could be wrong and at any rate the two songs came out around the same time.
Probably one of their best songs ever. It's nearly perfect in every aspect of vocals, production & style.
youre absolutely right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here before the 2winz^2 stans flood in.
I doubt that will happen. ABBA is probably more popular than Brian David Gilbert. Also his version is way better than this, so nobody will come to this version.

Fortunately yes!!! Couldn't be more happier. Glad to see ABBA is back after 40 years and releasing an entire album
Well....
Do I have some good news.
There will never be another ABBA. That kind of music writing talent or genius just doesn’t come along everyday. I loved them as a child and at 50, I’m still listening to them.❤️
Geniuses that's the word ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really do agree with you.
And that makes two of us. I am 54 and have listen to them since the were called "Festfolket". And I was 6 y.o when they won the E.S.C 1974.
And at the same time, I agree with everone else that it's so incredible difficult to choose one favorite song. In my point of view it depends on in which mood you are.
They were certainly tired of working at this point. Frida was still that little bit heartbroken over Benny but was recovering. Agnetha was moving on with her own solo career and Bjorn and Benny were writing music for other projects. The writing was on the wall in 1981 when Benny and Frida split up more of less. It's a great shame that such an amazing worldwide band ended this way but some of the songs that were made in the final years are truly fantastic and are certainly unique in a terrific way. This being one of them. :-)
And Benny even cheated on Frida 😤 And Björn also cheated on Agnetha
@@sann1spann1s is that true ? What a mad man can do this to these two angels?I'll kill to have a wife like them! (especially Agnetha)
@@MrRobbyvent Yeah:( but actually idk if Björn actually cheated on Agnetha, but it’s true that Benny cheated on Frida
And this is how ABBA told us GOODBYE..
MarHewBaggins did she die??
thesilverspider my favorite song is Elaine
but
listen to that song at a lower pitch while the song is played at a lower speed
it sounds superior that way
fargeeks no, this was their last single
But wait. They have new singles coming out this 2019 and 2020 and a possible album. After 36 years, ABBA is back.
So sad
Their voices are like two precious metals joined together. Pure alchemy!
ABBA has left the building....
Hasta Manana, ABBA. I absolutely love Agenetha's last album, however.
ABBA's adios.
Deejay...Not that anyone gives a shit, but you mentioned Hasta Manana, one of the greatest love songs ever written and performed by ABBA. Oh, and I love every single song by Agnetha, every recording, every album, and everything else about her. Don't respond, Have a good day. Cheers!!!
The ABBA legacy lives on…
But thier great songs remains...
…and just when the world needed them most, they walked right back in.
The interesting thing about Under Attack is that the verses and the chorus are from two different songs that were merged together. To me, it's a great song and a great video.
This song sounds so futuristic and I love it. They look like strangers in the video, you can tell it's not the same anymore and it's a bit awkward...it's sad but also interesting to see. Them walking out like that at the end is kind of fitting since this was the last single they ever released...until this year.
As experimental and different it felt, this still remains a great ABBA song.
Dann sind Abba noch einmal in das "Licht" gegangen.😊
this is possibly one of the most, if not the most underated song of all time
At the end of the video, they come into the light... and almost 40 years later, they come out of it to release new songs!
*What a great song to go out on, it’s a masterpiece, such a shame it wasn’t/isn’t as popular as it deserves to be*
Look at the "Chart history" (in wiki) one could not help wondering what's going on with all the "major market" countries -- UK, France, Aus all gave this song ("the best thing they've done in three years" according to Rolling Stone) extreamly low rankings while in smaller countries such as Holand, Belgem the ranking looks more normal --5th and 2nd place repectively. The name of the song shouldn't be suggesting anything right?
It wasn't as popular, cos this song was "under attack"
Actually, yes. It sounds like a hit. Thanks for the recommendation Björn! To think that they finally got together. After 50 years of waiting. Wonderful!
It's good right?
They need to return to that warehouse and walk back in that door singing Don’t Shut Me Down! YEAHH!!
Their marriages may have ended but their marvelous music survives forever.
I've listened to a lot of ABBA songs. I'd never heard this one, and again it goes right near the top of my favourite songs. Seriously, Benny and Bjorn are the best songwriters in history. Sure, lots of great songwriters exist. But how many have this level of consistency with every single song?
I agree they were and are NUMBER ONE ❤️❤️❤️
The BEST music writers EVER ❤️❤️
Best music writers EVER 👍
Them with the beatles
This song deserves to be a big hit, I have it on repeat!!
Maybe they should feature the song in Stranger Things…it did wonders for Kate Bush.
The end looked like the ABBA went to music heaven
+TheAustinmetro
That's cause they did :'(
Seeing as this was their last single, I think that was intentional.
:'(
@@brackenalexander1163
According to Benny it was not intentional. They never really stopped. Abba just peated out.
Ronald de Rooij yeah I’ve heard that too. But I’ve also heard that they all “felt” that it was time to quit. I can’t wait to hear their new music later this year!! I look forward to being the only 20 year old in my college town driving around blasting ABBA! (Not just the Mamma Mia covers)
When we went to school they told us about Mozart. In 100 years the teachers will tell the kids about Abba.
We were taught both in the 2000s. I love ABBA more even though Mozart was a local.
ABBA-deus ABBA-deus 🤣
And not about The Beatles.
@@hajnalkakun7665 the Beatles sucks
Idk but they never told me about Mozart
And I say a tearful goodbye to the group that saw me through some of the most difficult times of my life. I love you ABBA.
Lovely band spreading love
This song is massively underrated , ABBA will live on forever. ❤️
Gone but never forgotten?......Thank you for the music ABBA.
According to Agnetha, they ended it because it was no longer fun, like it was in their earlier days. Pure and simple, they got sick of it. And one can't fault them for that. Also, just for your information, The Beatles didn't break up because John Lennon died, they broke up because John Lennon left the group. That, and they were sick to death of each other. It happens.
Where are you getting this shit from? There was a Gay man who managed the group for a time: his name was Brian Epstein and he died in 1967 at the age of thirty-two.
McCartney was married to women at least three times and had relationships with a couple others:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_relationships_of_Paul_McCartney
Oh spare me PLEASE. Lennon and McCartney both said that the breakup was coming on as far back as ABBEY ROAD. As for blaming Yoko Ono, You might just as well blame Linda McCartney.
The Beatles broke up because their egos got too big. John was full on “I’m God’s gift” and started thinking he was bigger than the Beatles. Paul was like a nazi over musical control, it couldn’t go on and it didn’t.
Who's gone? 😏
The last music video from ABBA... until today!
Who's watching in 2021?
The Visitors is probably their best album. Magnificent!
The only marriage that lasted was Benny and Bjorn!
Bromance...BB-romance...
Yes, best buds, best friends, good pals, idek anymore, THEY SHOULD GET MARRIED
No way
They r friends

One of the most underrated ABBA’s song: a hidden gem.
Probably one of the most underrated ABBA songs there is, absolutely loved it then still love it.
And the four Swedish angels walk off into the light.
OMG the chorus on this track is magic, i cannot get it out of my head!!
That's ABBA in a nutshell.
Their first video clip from the comeback should be in front of this warehouse, the door opening and they coming out from the opposite perspective. 😅
Cool !
Frida was always the edgy one.. Here, she really looked cool, stylish and sophisticated. 😍😍😍
Me too
And now she's Her Serene Highness Princess Anni-Frid of Reuss, Countess of Plauen. Not a bad gig. :-)
Even earlier on, I always thought that she looked like she could seduce a man, break him in two, and pick her teeth with his bones while still looking amazing, relaxed, and flirty.

Me too.
I was 9 when ABBA split and my (musical fantasy) world fell apart! On the positive side, they walked into the sunshine, which is very symbolic as well. It's all good. (But I must admit I would have loved to know how their sound would have further developed, had they continued to record together.)

Thomas Farmer, if ABBA Had continue after 1982, I reckon there sound would have been new wave sound as Benny were already using Sythesizers Sounds.
That's where I just came from lol
Frida is last to look at the camera. Agnetha is the first to look away, then Bjorn followed by Benny. So much emotion in this video. The expressions and body language show a bittersweet end to a beautiful story.
My takeaway regarding the ending is both Benny and Frida and Bjorn and Agnetha stayed next to each other until the end, when they walked out of superstardom, with the ladies in the middle as they always were for so many years.
Sweden gave the world the most beautiful gift: Abba.
Absolutely best band EVER ❤️❤️❤️
So true 🎶 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Это то, что нельзя «отжать». Талант всегда останется при человеке. Легендарная группа!!!!
from ring ring to under attack....the circle goes back around !!!! love abba
You mean People Need Love.
Yes, People Need Love was their very first single.
Is it just me or does this song during the chorus sound like its about 3 different awesome songs some how magically melded into one harmonious beautiful song.. It just amazing...
Yeah, the harmonies are amazing. You can really pick them out here: ABBA Under Attack - Rare demo mix (filtered vocals)

this is very good !
***** im nt sure what my fave abba song is, theyre all AMAZING... this and i am the city , i think maybe close... the whole visitors album is just incredible, oh what was , was, but wat could of been, could have been ? oh wow..im taking cover, hes on my track, my chasing lover.. best line ever...
Yep, the arrangement, like many an ABBA song makes excellent use of counterpoint (two or more different lines or melodies being played at the same time, dovetailing perfectly. Benny's layered synth/piano textures plus vocal harmonies and guitar here are also fantastc.
The song was actually made up of other Abba songs which were written earlier but never released.
And 40 years later, they have moved past this sad part of their lives. The magic is back.
And now ABBA is back 40 years later! Yes 😉
In the end we had a band of immense talent. Two sublime songwriters and two exceptionally beautiful singers bringing us the sheer genius of this band. They were a one off. A one of a kind. They gave the world marvelous unsurpassed music. This was their goodbye to the world they brought so much joy to.....we still miss them...
Released on the day of my birth, December 3, 1982! 🙂
Hope the killer robot didn’t get them
love this song and the last song of their repertoir . Every singer is unique fue to their vocals but with ABBA there is something that is different, they are more than unique. I don't know how to define but they are eternal. Their vocals go beyond any concept of beauty. I started listening to them when I was 12 and now in my fifties I have the same sensations . Thanks ABBA for making me special because of your music
As a marching band member, all I can think as they're walking out is "get in step, bjorn!!"
His sense of step in this video is dreadful. I see you noticed.
The fact this was the last song they produced and released (prior to their reunion) makes this song all the more emotional.

@@Lord_HawHaw "Under Attack" was released later, yes. But the last recording before the reunion was "The Day Before You Came", as it was recorded in late August 1982, while " Under Attack" and "Cassandra" were recorded in early August.
One of the best band of all time.
Hearing this song takes my breath away that it's one of the last ones, especially since it's a band after unnecessary weddings and divorces. this song is about ABBA, the band and marriages that didn't need to happen. I'm so sorry it didn't work out.
the song is one of those eternal ones. I love ABBA.
Under Attack shows once again they were always in touch with, and ahead of, future sounds.
if you ask me ..they look tired and defeated in this video and ready to go their separate ways
Yes, I agree. It wasn't how it was for them.
Did you ever listen to the stupid questions they were being asked in interviews? Every where they went, somebody wanted to interview them. One of the latest I saw on UA-cam, the host asked her two questions that were sure to embarrass her. 1. What do you think about the Aussie claim that you have the greatest bottom in Rock and Roll. That went over real big. Even the co-host was a little embarrassed. 2. Do you know that your one of the richest women in the world? When you go to fill up your car with gas, you can afford to buy the whole tanker. First he puts his left foot right in his mouth and then without hesitation he puts his right foot in with it. I would be surprised if he was not fired right after she left the studio. If I would have been there for that interview, I would have asked him how big his joy stick is and then knocked him out. There is no shortage of wankers in the world.
Sorry. That's called "acting." That's the vibe of the song -- so they played it that way
@@curtlewis2795 But not much acting required here--considering the state they were in back in '82, I'd say they were (for the most part) being genuine.
the final scene of this video is such a hard one to watch without not break in tears :'( i'm the only one that feels that way about it?
Man, I wonder what ABBA would think about BDG covers, they're great!
Their last album (back then) was unironically pop perfection.
The melodies, the writing, the production and everything else just clicked. One of the best albums of the 80s, yet rarely mentioned.
I think it is broblably the most 80's song from Abba, and it is so interesting!
Abba videos have always been so simple, and yet so fun to watch! This is a guilty pleasure for me. Agnetha's facial expressions, Frida breaking into the 80's looking like a character from Dynasty... 😜
Yes Agnetha's facial expression at 1:33 is like a young child saying a defiant "NO". Brilliant!
G0GLU love this comment made me chuckle lol 😃
I love them. I think they often look like they are explaining something to us as they sing, with engaging facial expression and eye contact. Like when someone talks to a child. I think this appeals to us.
I also like Frida’s 80s look. Some people dis it, but I think is she is marvellous and stylish. Great, weird look and she can pull it off!
I saw some women in Germany in 2000s who still wore this look with leather, teased hair and blush on their cheeks! It’s not a bad look. Different and cool if you can pull it off.
This was Frida's best look for me! Fabulous
The divorce period of ABBA produced the best damned tracks.
They are the only group who could fill a stadium of a million seats ❤️
I always felt that They Eurythmics final album in thier youth (1989?) was maybe their best record ever (song for song, that is.). The "Savage" album.
I love Frida Lyngstad.Frida is beautiful,cool,lovely,sunny,pure,real,strong and kind.I like Agnetha.I like ABBA.
if they recorded today it would be the BEST new music on markets worldwide. That's a guarantee! They would top charts around the globe.
Tomislav renfrew - your prophecy came true. Who knew? New music and a tour of sorts in 2019!!!
Actually it didn't. Their two songs from 2018 failed to chart anywhere. That's not a slight at ABBA. It's just an acknowledgement that everyone has their time and ABBA's was 1972-82. The people of the 21st century love ABBA as the band of that time but they have heroes of their own to fill the 2018 pop charts. And rightly so. Today's pop stars are the nostalgia of forty years time.
Actually their song is still going to come it hasn't been released yet the name is but the song isn't you'll see that it will be a huge thing when they do release the song
@@TheGiantKillers Hi, I think their 2 new songs will be out in the middle of this year unless they delay it again. It was suppose to be out in Dec last year.
@@TheGiantKillers Incorrect. They had hits with their 2 last songs in several countries like mine: Holland
And with this last single and video ABBA took a break which ended up being a permanent one. There was no announcement of them disbanding. ABBA intended on coming back after a year or two but it was never to be. A lot of fans long for a reunion but I admire ABBA for calling it quits when they were on top. There are so many bands and artists that stay on too long and their music suffers and they end up tarnishing their legacy because their music becomes tired and uninspired. ABBA never had to suffer that fate and they have left us so many amazing songs!!! ABBA lives on forever!
Yep. Bjorn and Benny were doing music for musicals after this. The girls kept saying they were on a break, but over the years, Benny has said they would never perform together again. :(
It was never a permanent break they reformed in 2017 and recorded two new songs and have since recorded 3 more.
@andy morris The songs are being released in 2021
It was temporary
@andy morris guess what
no Agnetha didn't want to tour, she wanted to take care of her kids , thats why, a real MOTHER
when they walked away through the gate, so heart crushing. Their music legacy will be enjoyed, loved, and respected for centuries to come. Thanks ABBA!
They walked out,not as ABBA the group but four lonely singers........
This has got to be abbas most underated song ...its great :)
***** its absolutely fluffing incredible, crank it in the car and tell me its not an absolutely brilliant song.. the music and lyrics are just amazing....Just incredible...
Although I do like I Am The City, Under Attack is better. A really great song. But wasn't all of Abba's songs???
It IS! & It's essentially the end of the line for them, right?
Jake Roberts nope I don’t agree I liked it , it’s almost not known and to say it was the end it’s really sad
No dancing queen was lol. Very few people will understand the joke
I wish they'd stayed together to make more music further into the eighties because I love the synth on this.
Their harmonization in the chorus is soothing to hear
that very last scene as they walk through the brightly lit door looks so poignant now they're back....it looks like.... goodbye...we'll see you in 40 years.....
... and when Björn walks down the stairs at 1:20 he looks like an abbatar ...
The ending of the video should have shown each of them taking separate paths apart while going outside with no look to one another
nothing compares to ABBA. hoping they're all well always...
ABBA Forever. Love this song and basically everything they ever did. So glad they are back!
My Favourite ABBA song is Under Attack
