    This is a breakup anthem,and quite real.Actually half fiction half personal life experience.Bjorn the band's guitarist,finally admitted some years ago that he subconsciously wrote this gem mainly concerning his divorce to the blonde blue eye shadowed angel,co-lead singer of the band and ex-wife Agnetha.When she was presented the song,she read these words he had written and went tearful.She was asked if it's ok to do this and she decided to go on performing this holy masterpiece.A huge classic.But C'mon you really don't know ABBA?!This phenomenal band?"The epitome of pure pop music"(as another fellow fan said)!You've surely listened to the melody of let's say "Dancing Queen".Not knowing ABBA is like not knowing the existence of the sun or smth if you are a music fan.Neverthless welcome to their rabbit hole!

      Alexio Verdo……you gotta relax. ABBA has been broken up for 40 years. Mike wasn’t even born be4 they broke up. Why are u you so surprised he hasn’t heard about them? He’s from a different generation. What’s important is that he has just discovered this great pop band, and now he is enjoying their music and sharing it to others.

    ABBA = Agnetha, Benny, Björn, Anni-Frid
    They were 2 couples that both divorced and then stopped working together, too. No more ABBA from 1982 until 2021 when they decided to release a new album. I remember that I was deeply shocked when they announced that they will never be on stage together again. Anni-Frid tried a solo carreer, but it wasn't as successful as ABBA. Björn and Benny continued working together, writing musicals ("Chess", "Mamma Mia"). ABBA was one of the most successfull pop bands ever in music history. They were in every TV show I know, radio stations played them all day long. And we never got tired of listening to their songs.

    Besides top hit melody makers ABBA were innovators in the music industry making quality music videos years ahead of the '80's MTV and VH1 era....thanks to director Lasse Halstrom whom is now a world famous movie director. At one time ABBA had the worlds most sophisticated, technologically advanced music recording studio (for which other top recording artists eagerly recorded their own music there...such as Led Zeppelin's album 'In Through The Outdoor'). And now on May 27, 2022 in London ABBA Voyage concert debuts, brought together by a brand new form of digital entertainment consisting of the ABBAtars, a believable digitized version of themselves as they were in their heyday blended with a live ten piece band and incredible star wars lightshow all inside the group's very own purposefully built arena. The spirit and magic of ABBA lives on !

    This was 1980 so that explains the eye shadow. She divorced Bjørn the guitar player and he and Benny (the guys wrote all their songs) wrote this for her to sing. They stayed together as a group till 1982. The guys said their songs are all fiction, but you can tell this was based in reality. As were their new songs I Still Have a faith in You and Don’t Shut Me Down.

    Really liked your reaction to The Winner Takes It All. This video shows the lovely Agnetha Faltzskog baring her soul around the time of the break-up of her marriage to Bjiorn Ulvaeus,, the group's guitarist and cowriter of ABBA's songs with pianist Benny Anderson. Agnetha had just given birth I think to her second child when she was confronted by Bjiorn's infidelity, and all the hurt that she felt was expressed in this beautiful video, not only in the lyrics but also in the visuals. This I think was ABBA's final hit record as the group broke up very soon afterwards.
    The band's name ABBA was derived from the firsrt letters of each of the four members first names: Agnetha, Benny, Bjiorn and Anna-Frid!

    These is ABBA, the iconic Swedish pop group, the best, most versatile and most important group of the 70s decade, in the post BEATLES decade (the revolutionary group of the 60s)
    ABBA in the 70s decade, as in its time THE BEATLES in the 60s decade, was a musical and cultural phenomenon, and its legacy lives on
    ABBA is an acronim with initials of their first names
    They was two couples:
    Agnetha (blonde lead vocal) &
    Björn (guitarist and songwriter)
    Benny (pianist and songwriter) &
    Anni Frid (brunette lead vocal)
    (both couples separated before the end of the group in 1982)
    ABBA recording between 1972/1982,
    have 9 singles #1 in UK:
    Waterloo
    Mamma Mia
    Fernando
    Dancing Queen
    Knowing me knowing you
    The name of the game
    Take a chance on me
    The winner takes it all
    Super trouper
    and a lot of singles Top 10 like
    S.O.S.
    Money money money
    Summer Night City
    Chiquitita
    Does your mother know
    Voulez Vous
    Gimme gimme gimme
    Lay all your love on me
    One of us
    And after more than 35 years ABBA return to studio in 2017 and recording a full new album "Voyage" between 2017/2021 released in last November 2021 and is a worldwide succes Now
    ABBA begin to be famous in 1974, when They won the Eurovision Song Contest in UK with their iconic song "Waterloo"
    these is the link of the live perfomance, that I suggest you to next reaction

    I hope to more reactions of ABBA
    GOD bless you

    about ABBA couples
    have romantic relationships immediately they meet in 1969
    the blonde Agnetha and the guitarist Björn were married in 1971, had two children and separated as a couple at the end of 1978
    the brunette Frida and the bearded pianist Benny were just married in 1978, they had no children between them (if they had each in their respective previous marriages) and they separated at the beginning of 1981
    on "The winner takes it all"
    this interpretation in Germany is from 1980
    on a Benny tune,
    the lyrics were written by Björn a few days after his official divorce from Agnetha
    It's not about his own life, but it was obviously inspired by what the four of them were going through in their relationships.
    In fact, this song is closer in dates to the separation of Frida & Benny (it will be a few months later) than to that of Agnetha & Björn (it was mad a year and a half ago)
    either way
    "The winner takes it all"
    it's a masterpiece among all breakup songs
    and Agnetha's interpretation as a lead singer is from another galaxy

Plus, you lost your rights to criticize when you decided to place mayo on your couch above your right shoulder 😁 and wear airpods instead of quality over ear headphones when listening to one of Swedens greatest voices of all time. You're really missing out on a lot, those frequencies Agnetha hits are absolutely chilling and their harmonies and musical composition are beautiful. Go ahead, relisten to this song with a good pair of headphones and tell me I'm wrong. You're missing out my friend! If you comply, I wont tell the Swedes that you insulted their national treasure😁 BTW, check out another one of their treasures, Tommy Johansson as he covers some of Abba's songs, namely this very song ( ua-cam.com/video/0Uz3VcwWQkE/v-deo.html) He is a mindblowing multi-talented musician with a phenomenal vocal range and incredible guitar skills.

    Sorry. . .you don't seem to be a baby. . or at the other end of the spectrum, dead. . .how did you get to be a grown up and not hear this? Have you never been to a party? Please stop dancing and nodding and clicking your fingers and grinning. This music needs to have been listened to after your first break up, not in public.

    I've never seen a non teen who has bad acne.. Do I give them money? It's like when you see a 30 year old with braces on their teeth. What do you do? Do I give them money?
