I think you can get this video with subtitles. It´s from a musical that Benny and Björn from the group, ABBA did a while ago. She sings to god. She has starting to question god´s existens. The musical, Christina from Duvemåla, is a story about the Swedish people who went to America during the very port time here in Sweden. to try to survive and start over.
A bit of a shame that you didn't watch the video with english subs but to give some context: This is from the musical "Kristina från Duvemåla", a musical written by Björn and Benny from ABBA. This play is based on the quadrant of books "Utvandrarna" (The emigrants) by Vilhelm Moberg. In this song, Kristina (Helen Sjöholm) is questioning if God exist questioning what she would be if he does not. While you're watching songs from Kristina från Duvemåla, I would recommend two other songs that I've seen other reactions from others on (and yes, both have subbed videos). The first one being "Guldet blev till sand" (The gold turned to sand) by Peter Jöback and the other one being "Hemma" (Home) by Helen Sjöholm again. If you want more Helen Sjöholm, I would also recommend listening to "Gabriellas Sång" (Gabriella's Song) from the movie "Så som i himmelen" (As it is in Heaven). A real classic that I know will bring us Swedes to insta-watching it ;)
She is speaking to God. The first line "Du fördrev mig, Gud" means "You cast me out, God" It is from the musical Kristina från Duvemåla. About Swedish immigrants in the US in the 1800s. There is another very good song from this musical, Guldet blev till sand, sung by Peter Jöback. Check that out, and make sure to watch it with English subtitles.
In the musical, the story this far. She along with her husband and children emigrated to America to avoid starvation. She's extremely religious and she never feels at home in Minnesota. The only thing she has that's driving her is the love of her husband and the love of God. Before this song, her latest pregnancy ended up killing her baby and almost killing her. The doctor has just told her that she will die if she gets pregnant again. So she sings about the desperation of feeling like God doesn't exist because she's lost her homeland, lost her child and now she's loosing intimacy with her husband. She doubts that God exists but feels like he has to exist because she doen't have anything else left.
The man in the beginning is Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA who wrote this with Benny Andersson, also of ABBA. They moved over to musicals after ABBA, Chess, this musical and Mamma Mia (later made as a movie). I think this is filmed in the "Swedish parts" of the US, don't remember where exactly. Some celebration maybe. It's from around the late 90s.

There is a version with subtitles somewhere out there, which will give you the whole story. As some people say, she sings to “God” and questioning his existence since she lost some of her children. She feels helpless and desperate and wonder what her meaning is if god doesn’t exist. This version is from a live performance in the US which they actually performed in Swedish and is from the musical “Kristina från Duvemåla” (Christina from Duvemåla). She was playing the role in the original setup and the song more or less is written for her.
"Kristina från Duvemåla" is a musical from the 90s written by Björn and Benny from Abba. Helen was in the original cast from 1995 - 1999. Yes she's still active. Here as a guest at Solala: ua-cam.com/video/N-YQyUgvz5c/v-deo.html
I saw her christmas concert 2022, probably the most emotional concert I've been to. If you have a few hours of spare time you could listen to the whole Kristina från Duvemåla on Spotify Or UA-cam Music or whatever. It's funny that you think it was from 70-80's.. it's actually from the 90's.
Please react to "Hemma" (Home) from the same musical Kristina Från Duvemåla. Also with the same amazing singer Helen Sjöholm. That song hits very hard for us Swedes who has been living abroad for many years
Another Swedish musician who I think is absolutely amazing is Chris Kläfford. I recommend you to check out his kitchen seasons here on UA-cam. I think all songs on that list is in English so you don't have to translate the lyrics' either.
It's an amazing performance. The subtle emotions in the face and voice, and the story... showing what religion can do to people. But noooo, no subs! orz
This is the version with lyrics: ua-cam.com/video/vAOA_KWwFxY/v-deo.html If you react to any more swedish songs, please check if there is a version with lyrics, or you will miss out :) It is much stronger when you know what it is about.
Here is a link to the same part of the musical but with English subtitles. ua-cam.com/video/vk76_iqw-Pc/v-deo.html I also recommend "Guldet blev till sand" from the same musical "Kristina från Duvemåla". The subtitles start when the song begins. ua-cam.com/video/jzsUxUhBCtE/v-deo.html
Is Benny Andersson from ABBA famous? well, it depends on your perspecive. You obviously didnt regognize him 50 years after his international breakthrough.
you should check out the acapella group Solala Sessions here on youtube, they've done some really nice covers together with Helen Sjöholm and other famous artists.
You should've read the back story and you should've watched the subtitled version. You also need to stop pausing the music for stupid comments and remarks. Take a leaf from Wolff and the melody's book.

Yes! Gabriellas Sång is amazing!
I had the lyrics on the second screen and read them before, as I said before the reaction 😊

What god?
@@andersg6025 the Christian god
@@mikaelhultberg9543 Are you really sure about this? Humanity has invented so many religions and "gods" that don't actually exist.

The two men in the audince with beard in the beggining of the song are the composers. They are the composers of ABBA.
The two gentlemen showe in profile are Björn and Benny from ABBA!
