Difficult not to tear up on this song, isn't it? I'm a 75 year old male (same age as ABBA) and I was teary eyed. This song is as good as anything they've done.
I turned 75 year old 2 days ago. I was a massive ABBA fan 40 years ago and now they are back. I also have tears with this song.
Absolutely Brian
Great comment Brian. I am 50 and remember ABBA mania here in Australia when they toured here in 77 when I was 6. Australia was their first big international break. Proud to say that.
It goes straight to the heart
8 more songs to go will we all cry in this hard time
Agnetha herself gave an interview,yesterday in Sweden.
One sentence I won't forget and can't be more true,was:
"Frida's and my cooperation in harmonies, were like a beautiful marriage of voices."
Nothing more to say.
Was für schöne Worte ❤sie gehören einfach zusammen 😊ABBA für immer ❤.
Remember folks ... Anni Frid Lyngstad is 75 and Agnetha Fältskog is 71. Can you imagine singing so sweetly at this incredible age? I hope I can be even one tenth as good when I reach their age. These two wonderful ladies have absolutely gorgeous voices - the liquid smooth alto voice of my favourite, Frida, is beautifully counterpointed by the lovely crisp voice of Agnetha. And together the boys lyrics and music make ABBA an incredible super group. I remain proud to say I started following this amazing quartet in 1974, and I still have their vinyl albums. And like many others, I am so exited they are back!
ABBA, Thank You For The Music.
The songs you're singing.
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing.
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty.
What would life be?
Without your songs and dance, we'd make a fuss!
So I say thank you for the music.
For giving it to us.
Great comment, I agree with you!
Recorded 3 years ago or so, though...
❤❤
Sencillamente maravillosas voces.....!!!!...nada mejor en estos tiempos....una caricia al alma...ABBA...GRACIAS!!!!
Как Вы все верно сказали!!! москва
My father and I heard the song together when it was released. Dad started to cry and said he felt like 18 again. Abba don't follow any trends or give in to any media "Zeitgeist" ... they are their own level and they manage to be icons in every era.
I'm 23 years old and I'm an Abba fan ... like my dad.
I really enjoyed your comment
@@lydiabentley3413 Same!
I have to ask, did your Dad name you after Benny Andersson or is it just a coincidence? It is so pleasing to see a new generation embracing the magic and wonder of ABBA and their music. Sadly, my eldest two children (26 & 24) never shared my love for ABBA but my youngest (11) has become an ABBA fan and is starting to rediscover the magic of ABBA that I experienced in my youth.
@@Locutus.Borg. That is so beautiful what you are telling about your youngest child. At the time when they won the ESC I hadn't really grasped what ABBA was about - I was still totally hooked on The Carpenters, but within a year I really loved them.
Then your father must be approximately my age. I felt the same way. It reminds me of one of the few things that were not painful at the time.
The deep, rich, beautiful voice is the magnificient Frida
After 39 years, they still have the magic. They sound amazing, the lyrics are so heart warming. This is what the world needed. The timing could not be more perfect. And with Abba, you know it`s gonna be high quality, always. As an Abba-fan since the 70`s, I can hardly believe this is happening. This song is so beautiful with Frida singing the lead vocals, and the other song, Don`t shut me down with Agnetha singing the lead, is amazing, too.
I really like your comment
They should have done this 10 years ago.
Pop music has been rubbish this last decade.
@@markrymanowski719 _Now_ was the right time. A whole world needs this happening. So do I - an ABBA fan since December 2020 ;)
@@dlind1985
Better late than never.
I was around in their hayday.
I had more teeth then.
Yes
The song is about them but also about all of us, that's why we cry hearing this song... this touches our souls!!!
You are so right!
Yes!
Agnethas and Fridas blending of voices breath out such a unique vocal chemistry is out of this wolrd.Combined to their natural, beautiful faces you got such a seductive drug, you just cant escape.
Yes, I have been addicted to them for all those years, since 1974.
It's the most powerful drug in my life!
@@Mario-xr3jo that's so sweet! I get it.... Anni-Frid has been my Icon since 1975. In the last week, I have been humming non-stop. Such a tonic.
@@imbutterworth
Great to know that, Iain.
Christiano. I totally agree with your comment
@@lydiabentley3413 Thanks Lydia
Thank you for your tears and for your comments. Lots of emotions, and FRIDA with her age(75), sings wonderfully well (in my opinion)!
Yepp.. and Agneta is 71.. you can hear n their voicet that they've aged but they still have their unforgettable voices. You can't miss who's singing :)
@@Tweetyfreaky I agree wholeheartedly with Valerie: These two incredible artists remind us that the human voice is a musical instrument - and a gift - throughout our whole life
I think, as a mezzo, her voice matured beautifully specially in her lower register.
I cried the 1st time I heard Frida's voice in this song. It brought me back to her I Let The Music Speak and I Wonder renditions. So powerful yet so good to listen to.
For women to maintain their voices into their 70's is bloody extraordinary. Menopause often wreaks havoc on the quality of the female vocal cords. It's the same in a slightly different way - I had to listen a few times to digest it - but it's changed in a beautifully matured way...like a pristine champagne. Love it!!
To consider : this is after a 40 year break & they are now all in their 70s .. !!!
The lyrics, the music, the voices...we will never see this in our lifetime again. ABBA is pure GOLD 💕
Frida has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard.
Oh wow...I love you for saying that!! I don't think there is anyone with her range of tone, character, warmth and pitch. She is my idol. Agnetha conveys so much emotion and passion too...and yet Frida's voice is a beautiful instrument. xxx
Frida & Karen Carpenter for me
@@grahamwatt6290 Back of the net !!!
And one of the most beautiful smiles too
@@grahamwatt6290 Frida and Agnetha, surely?
Anni-Frid (Frida) is the lead singer and Agnetha provides the wonderful higher harmony. Magnificent song about their personal journey back to each other and thus the new album as well as a shout out to the fans who adore them. This song had me in tears only I did not realize I was crying right away. Magnificent song.
Hi,Anni-frid leads,on this,with Agnethas soprano joining in sync.together they are pure joy to hear 🥰 Benny and Bjorn are geniuses in their songwriting.enjoyed your reaction to the best band that ever lived!
@@lisacrane3143 yes she is...
Pure Awesomeness! Touches my heart so. Luv it!
Totally agree with your comment debs
I loved ABBA long before it was cool to say it. They are a Phenomenon which can't be surpassed.
Being norwegian, living in Sweden, I grew up with ABBA, but I was more into rock than pop, so ABBAS music was never a favorite of mine, although I appreciated their musical talent. Now, listening to their comeback, I find, strangely enough, that I have missed their music...so I will just say...thank you for the music, and thank you Valerie for the reaction. I could hear that they voices have aged beautifully, but the music is still all ABBA....what a great comeback! Love from Sweden :)
Being Swedish with a Norwegian grandmother, and Frida being born in Norway. There's something about Norway ? :D
@@Tyrfingr Many people today don't remember or don't know that ABBA produced an album for Norwegian folk singer Finn Kalvik. Listen to Agnetha and Frida backing him on "Here In My Heart" and "On the Run".... ua-cam.com/video/yac7g4sZq6Q/v-deo.html
@@Tyrfingr It sure is❣😄
@@tube1062 I love Finn Kalvik! But I didn't know ABBA backed him in these versions...thanks for telling 😄🥀.
No shit I can relate😉 Growing up in Sweden in the 70's but being more in to metal and hard rock I kinda rediscovered them about a year ago. Oh my god I feel deep in the Abba rabbithole 😁 And now this
AGNETHA AND ANNI-FRID, THE QUEENS OF SINGING. THE WAY THEY HARMONIZE, A THIRD POWERFUL VOICE, JUST EXPLODES THROUGH YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS, THAT'S MAGICAL😘😘😘😘
I am not ashamed to admit I cried when I first heard this. I have been a fan since 1975, so have a lot of history with their music. Great reaction to a great song.
Don't worry, I cried too! Quality music is back, 2021 now has a purpose, the 2 new songs are instant classics. Thanks for another true and honest reaction!
I totally agree
I totally agree too!
FINALLY.....I cannot listen to these "singers" today with the autotune and awful songwriting
@@jnewmark41 then I would suggest you listen to something else
Annifrid (Frida) is a mezzo and Agnetha is a true Soprano. I love how Frida can go from her low chest to her belt / powerful mix effortlessly. It is in the range around C5 to G5 where the magic happens. This range is the mezzo's highest this is where the steel comes in the mezzo mixed with the headvoice of the soprano.
I'm 67 y/o so I was an ABBA fan back when they started out. Not a lot of teens, in the 70's, thought ABBA was "cool", so I was mostly, in my small rural town, alone in loving their songs and harmonies. BUT OH HOW WRONG MY PEERS WERE!! No one really knew they would eventually take the WHOLE WORLD by storm!!!!! It's literally their sound, their combination of voices that made and makes ABBA loved so dearly even today!!! It's out of this world wonderful that they've let us love them even more now by coming back to us!!!
Anna's vocal fragility just makes this song even more emotional.
Yes, it's a smooth and powerful voice at the same time.
Abba is totally AWESOME! I been a serious fan since the first time I heard them back in 1975. I immediately fell in love with ABBA .
50 years ago… ABBA changed the world.
Now they’re BACK to change the world….AGAIN!!
This song IS proof!!
The deepest and most sensitive reaction to ABBA's 'I still have faith in you.' Thank you!
I haven't met a ABBA fan yet that hasn't cried hearing these new songs :( truly a beautiful timeless band :) thanks for your honesty and emotional review :)
I was never an ABBA fan in the 70’s, but growing old made me change my mind, I am so proud of them ( I am Swedish 😉)
Holy cow! I just found out that Frida is an honest to God Princess! Princess of Paulen (where ever that is!) She will be 76 years old this November, Agnetha is 71 right now. Impressive! They sound better now than most young kids! Very rich and full voices.
Being of Swedish heritage (parents both born in Sweden), it’s that accent that has always made ABBA just SO special to me! And hearing it now with their older voices, it’s even more so! 🥰🇸🇪 From a ‘senior citizen’ viewpoint.
They still have the magic ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
They have put the smile back on faces around the world.
I have rarely been so moved by a song. The ladies have such pure voices and the guys are master writers. What a blessing we have this new orchestral classic.
One of the things which made ABBA unique is the way Agnetha and Frida's voices complement each other. I still have a hard time guessing which is which from audio only.
40 years later and after just a couple of seconds u can just tell its ABBA that to me is astonishing, i mean 40 years and they still sound more or less the same. Thats true talent. Looking forward to you reacting to the other one aswell
I totally agree with your comment
Thank you so much for your beautiful reaction and commentary. I've been a huge ABBA fan for 46 years... you did ABBA proud! I am particularly grateful for your insightful comments about the dearth of older voices in pop culture. Anni-Frid Lyngstadt (the lead singer on this song) and Agnetha Fältskog have returned majestically to show the world how it's done.
Well said! 💜
Unbelievably emotional song, that unmistakable Scandinavian style and voice. Wow, wasn’t expect to shed a tear but it was almost like a flashback of my whole life. Well done ABBA. The message of reconciliation is what the World needs right now. x
Their new songs are melancholy, sensational, magical and completely unreal wonderful. I myself am 60 years old and have been there from the beginning. They were unique when they made an impact and that keeps them. I still have all their LP and cassettes at my old turntable from that time. Legends never stop singing. ABBA has conquered the world again!! Imagine if everyone could preserve this warm feeling we feel at this moment and take it with us in our harsh world. Greetings from Sweden!
this song is perfection. each time i listen it "goes" deep into the soul
Benny, Bjorn, Anni Frid, Agnetha
@@michaelsveneriksson4813 AnniFrid, Benny, Bjorn, Agnetha?
Für mich die bisher ehrlichste Reaktion auf diesen wundervollen Song. Dankeschön
Hi, it's great to see such appreciation of ABBA from you. Being a vocal teacher, you truly connect and value the beautiful voices of Anni-Frid or Frida (whose voice is of mezzo soprano) and Agnetha (whose voice is of a soprano). And let's not forget the exquisite vocal sound when the 2 overlap to create beautiful harmonies and the two geniuses, Benny and Bjorn who beautifully compose and provide lyrics for all of their songs.
Frida lends her voice as the lead vocal in I Still Have Faith in You while Agnetha leads in the other song Don't Shut Me Down.
Couldn't wait to hear you reacting to the other song Don't Shut Me Down for it's definitely a more dancy and up tempo tune.
Take care :)
A truly great comment
Thanks for your great comment.
Yes
It’s so hard to express my feelings towards this beautiful song it’s poignant but sad because it brings back memories of my childhood,my mom and dad,grans and grandads aunts and uncles were still apart of my life.They not here anymore so this song really pulls on my heartstrings.Thank you ABBA for giving me a glimpse of what I had.👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧r
Goosebumps and tears coming up. Fantastic. Even more fantastic to witness this powerful return of ABBA. Welcome back, we were waiting for so long. We love you.
Excellent analysis and appreciation. Abba has always been class “A” songwriting.
The lyrics in Don't shut me down are progressive from where they were then to where they are now kind of transformed thinking.
🧡 ABBA !
WELCOME BACK ! WELCOME HOME !
ABBA has relit the magic ! The dream is still alive ! ABBA's new anthem !
You seem to only be listening to the music, and there is only a still shot on screen. If you want to pull tears, do watch the official video production of this song. I cry every time. As a member of the original generation that helped propel ABBA to global stardom, this is pure PLATINUM, and I am thrilled this day finally arrived.
Thank you for this great reaction. Oh, and do yourself a BIG favor and listen to, and react if you will, to their "DON'T SHUT ME DOWN." It's classic, iconic ABBA.
For the love of music, and ABBA - Peace.
Anne Frid Mezzo-soprano 76 years old lead on this. Agneta 71 years now is soprano... All in ABBA is between 70-76 years of age now. And they still got the same magic as when I grow up with them... Emotional for me, this is my youth and my upgrowth music in Sweden.. Coming back...
My interpretation is this song is about them as a band. What they been through. And that they as all humans sometimes do, question themself.. Do I still got it in me?...
But as in almost all of their songs they leave room for the listener to put in what they feel and their life in the song and their lyrics. Witch other band could come back after 39 years and still touch hearts... Can't think of any..... Except ABBA And they are all such genuine and down to earth easy to love person's...
Thanks for the ABBA. Not all their songs were "masterpieces" but they certainly created their share. This falls under that heading in every way. Anni-Frids lead vocals, Agnetha's backing vocals, the harmonies, the lyrics and the music. It's just amazing what these four came do when they work together. Thank You Agnetha, Thank You Bjorn, Thank You Benny, and Thank You Frida. Your music makes the world a better place.
I think everyone who loves music especially abba, gets emotional to hear and feel such brilliance and beauty thank you abba for being a big part of our lives how blessed we are.
Swedish poeple have a quality tradition, ABBA is a live example, they always produced quality songs and music, then and now Agnetha and Frida voices aged wonderfully.
Wunderbar.Danke.ABBA ist zurück.Gruss aus Germany-)❤👍😁
Their names lays in the abbrivation ABBA, A Agnetha, B Björn, B Benny, A Anni-Frid (Frida for short), Frida is the dark haired that have the deep voice in this song.
I loved ABBA long before it was cool to say it. They are a musical Phenomenon that will never be surpassed.
One of my favorite reactions to the new ABBA songs, and I've seen a lot. I just love the emotional ones, because that is how I react to ABBA's new songs. 39 years they hadn't recorded together, and you're right, this comeback is huge, and powerful. Never seen anything like this in my live, actually, and I'm 59. 🎼🎶
Angels singing.....ABBA for ever!!
Great! Personally i find the other song: dont shut me down, the real ABBA sound! Love that one! And the lyrics are so great!
Both are true ABBA, this one is more along the lines of "The way old friends do", a ballad and "Don't shut me down" has the qualities of the big hit masterpiece, like "The winner takes it all".
Amazing reaction!! I love ABBA. Regards frm the Philippines
I loved ABBA when I was a kid and now I'm a blubbing 56year old!!! They sound so good after such a long time and these two songs gave me instant goose bumps and made my hairs stand on end OMG . Fantastic and just so emotional WOW
Your emotional reaction was priceless, very sweet. When I first heard this song, I too teared up. I never thought the day would come that we’d have new music from them. You’re right, they’re magic.
I did not expect to tear up but it was such an emotional experience. I'm glad I wasn't the only one.
Valerie, I matched you tear for tear. Thank you for sharing this very intimate moment with this song. Your reaction was the best. 🥰
No autotune, real singers and real musicians. @Benny Shawny: greetings to your dad, I almost cried so too.
@Voice teacher: beautifull painting in the background!!!! Greets from germany
Good God. I'm stunned. They're voices and harmonies are as great as they were in the 70s! I knew they'd sound great but I thought after this many decades you would hear at least a slight change if not in quality. then in tone due simply to age. This is incredible. Not even the slightest detectable difference. Great lyrics and song also.
I really love that they made no attempt to adapt the ABBA sound to 2021. The other single "Don't Shut Me Down' is even more classic ABBA! Great stuff. I never was even that huge an ABBA fan, but the nostalgia factor of the new stuff really gets me.
No auto tune here at all. No computor help like what's used today Great again ABBA
I think it hit all of us who grew up with their music. And it feels gpod to feel the old vibe again while the world has changed more and more in a depressive way.
A truly brilliant performance by ABBA and they can still produce the magic. Those voices are just outstanding and jell so well together and they definitely still have the magic. I also thought this song was beautiful well composed and the words so meaningful. Thank you for your reaction and I thought it was absolutely great
Music with quality, no sex, no drugs, no poor lyrics!
Brazil is here! Great job!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What a glorious reaction. I teared up when I first heard this, then again as I watched your reaction. Aside from their vocal prowess, I've always loved their diction, so clear, so precise. I know emotion and tidyness don't always ride together, but hey, that's how I like it.
I was looking forward to your reactions on this. I had to cry when i heard this the first time. And i’m not even an Abba fan! But they’ve reminded me of my youth. And it’s amazing they’re back! The lyrics are layered too, especially in these challenging times. Thank you for your reaction!👍🌷🌷🌷❤️
I really enjoyed your commentary
I thought I was hanging in there listening and under control. But when you dabbed your eyes with your tissue, that was it. I choked up.
You can definitely imagine this song sung in a Broadway show.
Yes, it is about forgiving, about putting conflict behind and concentrating on the greatness of the other person. It fits in perfectly with several of ABBA's earliest hits like He Is Your Brother, Bang-A-Boomerang, and People Need Love.
It's so beautiful to see how this music touches you. Thanks for sharing.
What can I say? In just a few words ... we live a dream!
Wonderful to see your joyful and emotional response to this epic song. My heart was partly uplifted by the joy of the build in this song, partly broken by the beauty of it and the older sounding vocals here and there that add a wonderfully fragile layer that wasn't there back in the day. Hearing THOSE voices and that hallmark sound again just catapults you back to days gone by when the world was a simpler place. A wonderful, comforting blanket of a song. Thank you for your reaction.
As a 63yr old, these people were the background noise of my teenage years, parties, disco's and girlfriends. I always liked them - but was never a "fan". But... this whisked me straight back in time to all those memories and emotions. Beautiful lyrics that tell the story so meaningfully. Emotional and beautiful.
There is nothing more magical in music than Agnetha and Frida's beautiful harmonies.
I cried my eyes out when I heard them too. They are in their 70's & are still wonderful, such emotion shows with each of them. These were two young married couples splitting & they had hit after hit. We all loved them then, we love them now. Love to see the look on your face when listening, beautiful. 🌺
Hello Jacqueline
Please do their other song: Don't shut me down,
ABBA thank you for the music ❤️ Love from Sweden ❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪❤️
This somg is so beautyful. On the night of the livestream I wrote that this was about ABBA and how they have managed to get by. And as you I had emotions slowly leaving my eyes and making their way down my cheeks. Thank you ABBA.
Beautiful. Anyone who grew up with ABBA and has empathy cried to this.
You didn’t expect that emotion did you?! I was the same. Magic indeed.
I did not expect it at all. But I had no idea it would hit me that hard!
Ahhhh ABBA I’ve loved them since the 1970 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I hope so much I’ll get a change to see the one of their concerts in London 2022 ❤️❤️❤️
We needed them!❤
Yup, pretty similar to my reaction when I heard the song at the launch, something I simply did not expect, but it seems many have had such a similar profound emotional reaction to this, especially those who grew up with ABBA like you and I.
Loved the reaction, all on point.
Everybody in this world becomes emotional from ABBA and this song. I myself also became emotional. I guess that is the power of ABBA. Great song, and we've waited so long. I never expected to see it happen, but here we are. ABBA is timeless. What a joy!
Abba is Abback! 😅
I am very grateful to been born in the late 60's, to have heard the Beatles, Elvis Presley in my childhood... to have spent my youth in the 80's and now reached 53 years old, to see my generation mature but still charmingly beautiful ! Thank you
They have released 2 songs, one with each of the girls singing the lead, Frida on this song & Agnetha on the other song ‘don’t shut me down’, which you must react to, it’s classic ABBA.
I cried with you, dear Valerie, and it's not the first time. I get tears everytime I hear this. There's so much deepness in Frida's Voice and then Agnetha's angelic tones mixing and giving a new whole. Only wise people like the four of them can find together like soul brothers and sisters
Give me goosebumps! ❤
Thank you for your Professional Input, of course ABBA songs speak to the Soul and gives goose bumps to anyone with an ear for music but feels so good to have a Professional explaining it all. Thank you
I'm from Sweden and I love this song, crying every time I hear it. I'm a huge fan of ABBA. Have seen them live in 1975.
Valerie you seem to make a brave effort not to leave your tears roll out.You are adorable.
Me too, I Was too emotional, love the lyrics
Subscribed! I think Agnetha and Frida have fantastic voices but the thing i have always loved is how they pronounce the words when they're singing, they pronounce the words so beautifully
Thank you for your emotions and reflections - so real! This song resonates to so many due to the things that you mention: the theme, the memories, and that they still got it, not in spite of, but because of their ages. This song has a really wonderful official video that you should take a look at.
To ABBA you smashed it
40 yrs it was worth every year to wait for this album there is nothing like it
You can’t describe perfection voices of angels
Nice genuine reaction! You mentioned Bjorn and Benny doing musicals after ABBA. For a voice teacher it might be fun to react to 1 or 2 songs from Chess and Kristina, because they worked with some fantastic singers in those musicals. Tommy Korberg in Chess and Helen Sjoholm in Kristina. Helen has an iconic performance from Minnesota of the song "Du måste finnas" (the Swedish version of "you have to be there") and Tommy´s version of Anthem is fantastic.
Hi Valerie. Now you have to listen to the other one. Both songs are amazing. FYI Ann Wilson of Heart is on a solo tour. Her voice is still awesome but it's gotten lower. She sings Dream On it's great.She is 71.I really love her singing I Put A Spell on You from 2018.
Hello Christina
