A masterpiece. Musically, lyrically, and vocally. Goosebump inducing to say the least.
Only ABBA can use the word “bewildered” in a song and make it sound absolutely amazing.
I can visualize this entire song. ABBA is back!
And sing “And so you should I would”. 🎵
So funny! I was thinking the same thing: Who on earth would/could use the word "bewildered" in the first line of a song's lyrics except for ABBA?!!
As I’m not a native English speaker I wonder why you find it weird that the word “bewildered” is used in the lyrics... is it perhaps an inusual, out-of-date or old-fashion expression?
@@jorgec7087 Yes, on all those thoughts. Bewildered hasn't been used in normal every day language probably for over 80 years. I'm guessing Björn probably chose it because he needed a three syllable word to go with the melody and there aren't many words that would be suitable. It fits just right in that spot... be-wil-dered.
Lots and lots of Easter eggs in both songs… WONDERFUL!!! Amazing to listen to such a masterpiece after 40 years… who else could have done it??? They still got it!!! Thumbs up… claps… ovations…
100% Bruno!!! I probably missed about 10 Easter eggs but I'm hapoy with the ones I found.😂👍
I only found two big christmas gifts!
@@TalkToRoss the xylofoon is back too ;-)
@@masculineguy37 Haha yes!!! So many things!!!
What I love about ABBA’s songs is that they’re always melodic. Appealingly melodic. No other band “consistently” does that.
Agreed!
I'm so happy they are back ,been a fan since 1974 , one of the most amazing pop bands ever ,sprinkling their happy magic music on the World.
Exactly, Denis! It feels like that!
Even if Agnetha is singing it is Björn who wrote the lyrics.
I would say it is a lyric on at least 3 levels.
A woman coming surprisingly back to her her old partner after long time is the foundation.
But it also works as a comment on Abba themselves coming back with new material after 40 years.
And there are lots of references sneaked in about them becoming "Abbatars". Decoded, another me, reloaded, transformation and so on.
Great observation! 👍
And it's also about me and my renovation. Who would've known they knew about me!
Kinda like Stevie and Lindsey
It's also about each and every single human being because we are all transforming from over moment to the next, literally, and we are all now and then combined, with the parts from then we have brought with us into the now (which we have a lot more power over than most understand). Amazing lyrics as always from Björn!
Exactly!
Unbelievable. I have been transported back to my carefree teenage years with this one, reminiscent of Dancing Queen I think. Classic ABBA, brilliant musicians in Bjorn and Benny. And the girls or ladies I should say, oh my God those voices especially when they sing together. Wow nobody else like them. The other song is just so full of memories with those clips and photos, I love Fridas voice in the other single, deeper than in the past but with such a warm and almost melancholy tone, wow. I love ABBA I can't not get emotional they are truly a part of the soundtrack of my own life. I am just so happy. The world needs this at the moment to give us all some hope. Thankyou ABBA 💜💙💙💜
Is it just me or did Abba save 2021 ? They did for me at least.. Thanks for reacting! Quality music is back!
Welcome!!
🧡 ABBA !
EVERYONE TO THE DANCE FLOOR !
The MAGIC is fired up again. Even after 40 long years, it's as if time never passed. This is iconic, classic ABBA. A PLATINUM creation. As with both releases the lyrics have layered meaning on multiple levels.
"Don't Shut Me Down" opened on U.S. charts at #11. And deejays are already remixing it into long-play singles. They know it's worth the effort. What must the rest of the album be like?
Thanks again, Ross, for the reaction.
For the love of music, and ABBA - Peace.
why am i crying but smiling every time i listen to this , im a dj and cant wait to play this for first time in pub,specially after all we have come through ,best reaction video ross
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!
Gorgeous gorgeous record ♥
Isn't it?? 😍🙌
how can u NOT move and dance when u hear this wonderful song. thank you ABBA for bringing joy into a world under pressure.
Truth!!
When most look at someone they know or knew, especially after not seeing them for awhile, what they see is how they last saw them, not taking into account that we all transform all through life.
Fantastic songs! Thank you! 🥰
I still cry when hear the songs!
Welcome, Carina!!!
This song is pure ABBA goodness! I can't get enough of it and with all the misery we have lived through since March of last year, it's like a gift to get such a beautiful song! I can't wait for the album to be released!!!
I completely agree!
I think the lyrics are about ABBA and that they have been gone for 40 years and are now coming back , reloaded as avatars, combined with now(Avatars) and then(young ABBA) and that we should have an open mind to the avatars and not to shut the avatars down.
Yes!
El segundo estribillo es fabuloso! Cuántos arreglos! Al más auténtico estilo Abba. Abrazo desde Buenos Aires 🇦🇷🇦🇷
Abrazo amigo!! 🇦🇷🇮🇪
The big global news of this 21st century for the music world is the return of the legendary Swedish pop group ABBA to the recording studios after more than 35 years (the last was "The day before you came") and the edition of his new songs after 39 years (the last was "Under attack") and a new album after almost 40 years (the last was "The Visitors")
Beyond that these three data are for the Guines Book of records (I believe that No Group or Singer or Artist can come close to these incredible brands), the most remarkable thing is How they returned, with what level of quality And I must say that ABBA overcame all fears, doubts and expectations Their return is shocking and his quality is still valid
"Don't shut me down"
it's another surprise from ABBA
A pop song was expected, but there were reservations and fears for what it could be (and here I include doubts to the voices of the girls due to their age) And we find a magnificent work
The beginning is with Agnetha's voice attacking with the pleasant company of the piano. What Agnetha does in that introduction is anthology, exquisite modulating and using different nuances with her mature voice.
Until Benny's signature piano glint (nod to the mega hit "Dancing Queen") and ABBA's typical pop song is with us, with the fans, because the lyrics speak to us.
and Agnetha assumes that decoding of almost four decades and gives us her beautiful voice as the strings grow and lead to a memorable chorus with Frida reliving the historic third voice of ABBA
But it doesn't end there, the second part adds hooks and a xylophone is added to the bells (a nod to the marimba in "Mamma Mía"), and the pre-chorus has more force with Agnetha and Frida and the violins anticipate the elevation to a chorus triumphant final anthology reminiscent of his greatest hits
And it ends with a soft and sweet Agnetha voice and piano melody (nod to "Thank you for the music")
Thank for your great reaction
and for Your respect to ABBA music
now we have the new album "Voyage" that is a worldwide succes
see in next ABBA vídeo
GOD bless You
Thank you so much!!! All the best for you!
Thanks for the ABBA. Pretty much a perfect uptempo ABBA song written just for Agnetha. Benny/Bjorn have always been best at that. Was good to hear Benny say he wasn't competing with the artist of today and that he doesn't know how. So the reunion will be a fun outlet for all of them. And they'll do what they all do best, make ABBA music. Hopefully we'll get an Agnetha balled too "Love her sad voice". I think what really makes me happiest about this is -- both girls really deserve songwriting and production of this calibre devoted just to them.
I completely agree! Benny is right too, let the modern day do their thing! ABBA do theirs, very well. 😊🙌
Benny has said, as you point out, that he doesn't know how to compete with the artists of today. I presume it's the same for Björn. The rest of us are truly blessed that they don't know how to do it! I have a feeling that there are plenty of artists, producers, and music fans out there that will be learning a lot from two guys who can't (or won't) compete with artists of today. As someone who has been involved in music for years, I'm hoping the hullabaloo around ABBA's return will breathe some life into what I see as the pretty stagnant musical era we find ourselves in. We're relying on sounds that haven't moved on for more than a decade.
Hej ! I was 16 year at 1974! I saw them on TV when they took it WATERLOO ! Today I am a little older and I listen and the songs give me so much happines ! It feels like I am wathing a ART . You know give me My feeling and you and everybody else something else ! To me GOOD! 🙋❤️🇸🇪
Great to hear, Christine! 😊💚
Eternal ABBA. Greets from Argentina! (love your reaction)
Thank you!!
Hope you enjoyed my reaction guys! Apologies for my stops, but I was being mindful of copyright strikes, thank you for your patience.
Please tell me what you'd like me to react to next! 💚
I absolutely love songs from the 70's and 80's. Even though I'm 18 those songs are so much better than most of the stuff produced today. Now ABBA is back and I'm just so excited about that.
ABBA the best music group
It's certainly NOT Disco, It's pure ABBA. Just that sound that only they had.
Nothing wrong with disco. 😁
@@TalkToRoss Nobody loves Disco more than me, they were my teenage years but this song isn't Disco. I'd say its a typical middle of the road song that ABBA do the best :-)
@@danfrost3043 Let's agree it's an amazing track! 💚😁
Hey there, Ross! Very beautiful reaction video, and I thank you for it! Now, you actually bring me to thinking about that little specification that it's a "lyric video". Maybe there would be, in fact, an "(official video)" coming to us in the near future! This one is fuuull of easter eggs, including the notion of "GOLD" and it also serves the purpose of really connecting people to the lyrics. Great one, can't wait! 🎊 As for the cover of the album that you mention, they did announce its name with a picture of that sphere with the gold-yellow writing, but we might as well be further surprised when time comes, who knows. :)
It's amazing really. I wasn't born by then either... still, ABBA is one of my favorite musical groups of all time. To have them come back in my lifetime (who'd have thought!) having just the same sound, allowing us to feel like we are actually at the end of the 70s... it's truly special.
Great reaction. Fantastic song lots of memories since I was 6 years old . So glad there back
Thank you so much Christine!! 💚
Just amazing!
Nice reaction! But, I would say this song is more of a sequel to 'One Of Us' than 'The Winner Takes It All'. The girl who walked out of her boring relationship is now tired of crying alone in her lonely bed, and is ready to take the bull by the horns and march back into the guy's life and ask him to give her a second chance!
Solamente ABBA podía regresar después de 40 años.
Felicidades
Hey Ross!! Loved your reaction!! Like many others here, I can't keep smiling and crying when I hear the new stuff! Smiling because they're still as brilliant as ever, and crying because I never thought I'd be privileged to hear new material from four of the best vocalists, lyricists and musicians to ever have graced the stage!! The strings sections of this song reminds me of "If It Wasn't For The Nights!" If you haven't heard it, give it a listen!! Grá mor!! 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Grande ABBA. Engraçado essa música não é a mais conhecida.
Essa é nova. Tem uma semana que foi lançada
@@MrDecarvalhoTube pois é minha desatenção!
i still have faith in you na voz de frida e o bom gosto em forma de hino
This is an ABBA digital abbatar asking their fans to accept them in their new form
I can't help it! I just wanna dance and dance when I'm listening to...even in my office! OH MY...
Go for it!!!
I love the new songs, soooo good!!! Next up will be the new arena for me. Thanks for your video!
Very welcome, Martin!

@@tombouu No it’s not ..😡
Im soo glad they didnt use auto-tune on their voices. Thats genuine and bold after 40 years ✌🏼
Yes! Sounds so clean!
Why would they? Their voices are outstanding... they don't need it. That's what these old school musicians have that is missing nowadays.
I think it is a sequel to "Knowing me knowing you"

ABBA are pop music at its finest not disco(although I love that aswell)💛💛💯🥳🥳🥳
Love from Sweden , good reaction to the song:)
Thank you so much!!
Great review. Love it!
Thank you so much!!
the ABBA cover band will be at the County Arms Hotel in Birr on March 18th
In the U.K. charts today I Have Faith In You in at number 14, Don’t shut Me Down in at number 9! It’s now their 20th top 10 single!
Huge dissapointment. ☹️
UK needs to wake up!
In Germany, they are 1 and 2 today hihi.
@@ralfmeyer9086 yeah, in Germany wits are still very much alive!
@@beorlingo U.K. music stations like radio 1 are very ageist these days unfortunately. But they can not not play the songs if they have been bought and enter the top 40!
@@beorlingo I meant they can not NOT play
TalkToRoss Good morning from the East Coast of County Antrim, love your reaction to Don't Shut Me Down. Love ABBA there songs will never go old
Moro em UK e vejo o quanto os jovens curtem ABBA😊. Sensacional ❤
My take on the theme of this gorgeous song, written by Bjorn, but from Agneta's perspective too, about their previous conversations of making music again... going over to see him and listening to his reasoning to work together again. Her visiting their old apartment where they used to live as a family - and he spelling out the plan of how and why they should collaborate. Bittersweet but beautiful.
Everyone says they feel like they have been sent back in time to the 70’s!! And me too!!👍
Yes!!!
The album name is Voyage. Get tickets for one of the concerts to be held in London at a facility that is being built just for those concerts starting May of 2022 and have the time of your life. You think those avatars are animation? No it's not, it's what's next, thanks to ABBA and Industrial Light and Magic.
ABBA is pure joy . loved them since 1974
Amazing!! 😍🙌🙌
Your reaction is fantastic
Thank you so much Paulo!!
You're the first reaction I've listened to that understood that this was about the breakup of Bjorn and Agnetha!!
Thanks a lot Ray!!!
Nice reaction! They still can affect us all even after 40 years! Amazing! BTW, the album and the show is called “Voyage” not “Voyager” 😂
Excellent video Ross, GRMA ❤️❤️
Fadhb ar bith!! 💚
This song is fantastic!!
I can be that woman is like the winner takes it all, i think
I liked agnethas ass ovn the Abba movie vhs I bought on vacation in London in 93. Enjoyed that tape many times. Still have it somewhere.
U r so funny! Love u!
Thank you so much!!
@@TalkToRoss u r sooooo wellcome! Regards from mallorca, spain
I agree with you, Ross. I really hope they make at least 2 or 3 new albums.
Brilliant ABBA
Hello Ross. One of my two red haired cats is also named Ross. Hope you don't find it offensive.
I Like your reaction to this song and as you say...the songs are so fabulous that I think one album is not enough. Specially because they're so good at it. The voices, the music, the production... I need more than ten songs.
Wow! You are a very handsome guy. I like 😍 You are wonderful and I like ABBA too 🌝
Haha, thanks! 💚😊
I hope and think they will follow up voyage with another album. To all you wonderful fuckers out there. Buy a physical copy of the album. The best way to really support the band and heighten the chance of another album. Buy it. Won`t effect your wallet Much, but it will indeed effect them and the thought of doing it one more time in two years time. Just buy a cassette, a cd or an LP. Will make all the difference to them. They are old school. Physical sales is the thing. Get yourself a copy of voyage.
Everyone keeps comparing that slide of the keys and the piano to Dancing Queen, I wish they would stop because it's in a completely different key than Dancing Queen starts off as
Нихера не понял. Но человек вижу хороший . мир тебе брат! АББА -лучше всех!
I think it could be the first song when the avatars of the group members will enter on stage and begin the concert . In this case, the lyrics are less mysterious....
Братан, я никогда не узнаю, кто ты. И ты не узнаешь кто я. Но мы любим АББА!
I prefer this video now. I hope they don’t release another one for this now.

Agnetha is singing about us accepting the new ABBAtars. Duh.

React to an ABBA song with a LED ZEP t-shirt....i like that !! 2 legends....😍👍👍👍👍
Music is music!
It's funny. I've watched several reactions to this song. Some say it sounds very 70s. Some say it sounds very 80s. Some say it's disco. I don't consider it disco. I do consider it uptempo. Both the new songs are designed to give the avatars something new to sing and address why the comeback, maybe also expressing sentiments of the group. Personally, this song feels almost like a sequel to One Of Us--what happened a few years later.
Yeah, I don't think younger people exactly understand what makes disco disco. So if it sound nostalgic and uptempo, and/or you could dance to it, they just group it in with disco.
@@erickyoung8331 Exactly, because I've heard similar rhythms kn Donna Summer records, and I play drums too for 25 years so I'm not completely wrong. 😁👍
Yes! Agree, it's definitely not disco. It's just upbeat pop. Disco has a more consistent, faster rhythm with lots more emphasis on the percussion.
@@Venusbabe66 specifically hi-hats
It's got nothing to do with disco!! It's pop. You must know the difference between pop and disco. Donna Summer was disco
Agneta sings about the avatars they will perform with
🤣👍🥳🍾
😁🤘🤘
Sequel to "one Of Us" i think
Perhaps, you stopped it too often.
The Lyrics are pertaining to an Avatar, as in the new stage show...... " I'm Fired up. I'm hot. Don't shut me down, I am not the same this time around etc etc..... Lyrics by Bjorn, as usual. he is genius.
I was fearful of copyright, thanks for understanding. 🙌

Yes, ABBA playing a disco beat. 😁 Great track.
Suggestion: Watch "ABBA Voyage: The Journey Is About To Begin" (ua-cam.com/video/OE8aSnhzTfQ/v-deo.html) if you haven't already done so. Björn and Benny talks about the album and the music, we get to see the process behind creating the binary twins of the ABBA members using motions capture of the current 70+ members performing the entire concert and using the bleeding edge tech and up to 500 of the best digital artists to turn the motion capture and filmed performance into the way they look in their prime in 1979 in order to create the "tour" in London next year which use an amazing light show and the ABBAtars together with live musicians in the new purpose built ABBA arena which is currently being built. It's just 4:22 long but very fun and fascinating.
It's actually refreshing to not hear the same style as every current pop song which almost sounds the same no matter which artist it is. In comparison with current pop, ABBA brings a "new" sound. I read that a majority of listeners to the new songs are actually between 18-25 which is amazing and shows just how ABBA is one of the few bands that was never forgotten and buried in the past. It doesn't matter if you're into pop or not (I'm not into pop but I really appreciate ABBA for the sheer quality of the song writing and the girls vocals, esp. the harmonies which is a trademark for the band and totally unique.
ps. I just noticed the Rory Gallagher book on your shelf and I'm a huge fan of his. He was definitely one of the best and most passionate guitarist of his time. He didn't care about fame and money (hence the breakup of Taste after the Isle of Wight performance just as they were offered a major contract that would've made them the biggest power trio around with Cream breaking up, The Who's waning following and Jimi Hendrix unfortunate and untimely death). As a solo artist for the rest of his career he didn't budge on the demands to write hit singles etc., he just wanted to write and play his music with whatever stringed instrument he had mastered. I still get goose bumps when I watch the Irish Tour '74 film.
(pps. obviously you know all that Ross, I'm mainly promoting him and his music to anyone else who doesn't know about him and his music).
Rory was one of the Irish greats! Always will be! Thank you so much! 💚
oh no.
Nope not wrong ABBA are the Fleetwood Mac of the Sweden an actual quote I heard

How dare you talk of ABBA's death.... That's forbidden We don't do that lol they are immortal!!! And I wouldn't say really The Winner Takes It All, But it feels like more of a response to One of Us If anything
Why do You think she sings "don't shut me down?
No, no this song isn'r about themselves. Even the winner takes it all was fictional
