My ALL TIME FAVOURITE Abba song...sung with such emotion.....just ready to cry now. (Always do, to this song)
You're correct, the song is about a woman going through a divorce. The reason the song works so well is that we all knew that Agnetha (the singer) and Bjorn (the guy without the beard) were indeed going through a divorce at the time. (the other couple, Frida and Benny) were also married briefly at the time but divorced soon after. Bjorn, her husband, wrote the lyrics for his soon to be ex-wife to sing, quite something when you think about it. The lyrics are quite cold and unemotional, but Agnetha manages to supply all the emotion the song needs, especially her final wailing "The Winner takes it aaaalll....." It's a beautiful song, was a huge No 1 over here in the UK, and re-established Abba at the top after a year or two when they had been *slightly* less successful (though still managed a string of Top Ten hits, just didn't hit No 1). This song, followed by Super Trouper (single) were Abba's last big hits before they took a break for 40 years, and then returned with Voyage, no band that I can think of has done that before, 40 years is a very long time...
They were separating at the time Björn wrote it (with Benny), but he's denied it's about the divorce, saying "it's fiction," and "the words in the song should not be taken literally."
@@rollomaughfling380 Of course, I've seen Bjorn say that, and there may be some truth in it, but it can't be denied that the lyrics are very relateable to most people, because it's a very common and human situation. It would be difficult not to put some of your own perceptions and emotions into writing a song like that. Even if there was no 'handshake', even if there was no "I don't wanna talk" I still think some of the emotion in the song works because it is genuine and honest. I think Bjorn would have to say it's not literal, to protect their own psyches and privacy.
Whether it's fiction or not, I'm glad he wrote it anyway.
@@sophiapangloss2149 "Some truth?" So . . . you know, better than him, I guess? 👀
@@rollomaughfling380 No of course not... but he couldn't really say anything else. Of course the words, the lines sung, are not their own words, I''m sure all relationships are much more complicated than lyrics in a song can ever communicate, but there's an authenticity about the emotions involved in a break-up that I have rarely ever 'felt' from a song in the same way, I think that's what I mean.
@@sophiapangloss2149 He said what he needed to say, because of people in the press and public picking it apart based on news reports, and that should be enough. And those *were* his own words, which he literally called "fiction".
Doesn't help anyone for people to keep trying to pick their situation apart decades later.
This is the rub: great songcraft attempts to make lyrics universal, so everyone can project their own experiences onto them.
Yet, the listener translating their own experiences onto what one might imagine the artist was going through, especially based on media reports is fraught.
Lyrics that are too-specific to the songwriter's own experience are most often lost to time, and end up in the bargain bin, at best. This is why most great songwriters will tell you (and honestly and accurately so) that the lyrics are an amalgamation of different experiences. Anyone with a hit song saying otherwise either has a sharp agenda, or is playing up the press accounts with cynicism, which is not at all like Björn.
It's a great song, it resonates universally, and I take the man at his word.
She has a most beautiful voice.
The guy on the right has never had his heart broken.
As a divorced woman I can tell you that this is the MOST accurate songs about this I've ever heard, it's strange thing in my case that my Mum who divorced my father in 1971 related to this just as much as I do (divorced in 2010) the "Gods" in this case being Judges in divorce & custody battles.
It's heartbreakingly relatable no matter what year you listen to it.
Although I do not regret mine, there's just something about this particular song that brings all that pain back to the surface....😪
I can relate too. My parents divorced in 1981 and I did in 2018. This song could make me cry any time. 😢
I can relate TOO with my own divorce from the love of my life, that I never saw coming after 24 years of marriage and 6 years before that, plus we had 3 children together. I cry every time I hear ABBA sing this, or when I watch the movie for "MAMA MIA" when Meryl Streep sings it, she does such a heartbreaking version of it. I could have written the lyrics to this, because it explains exactly how I feel. After more than 25 years after, I am still having trouble "getting over " it, and now he is deceased, 4 years ago. I don't think I will ever heal from it.
As a 65 yr old male...totally agree. Beautiful song and emotions.
You boys didn't mention her phenomenal voice!!
this song brings tears to my eyes.
These ABBA songs never get old . Even today u guys reacting to them that's the beauty of music right there . Hearing this makes me want to listen to more ABBA lol 😆 .
Deep when you consider they were both performing it about each other, it’s the ultimate love split
Exactly...this song is up there with Fleetwood Macs 'Chain' Just amazing. From adversity, comes beauty.
ABBA was amazing. Legendary band and songs. The winner does take it all, it's what makes heart breaks so painful.
Devastating song about divorce but it is done so beautifully
My dad used to play Abba on long trips, mostly the upbeat one but I also recall him playing this and cried when the line "The God's may throw a dice, their mind's as cold as ice, and someone way down here, loses someone dear." Looking back I was one big emotional kid for that line to hit me so deep. Abba are in my list of faves. I'm a new fan to your channel and love how eclectic your choices are. Good choice bro.
My all time fave Abba song. ❤️💔
Always makes it sadder to me knowing this was the first song she sang after their divorce. Such a professional to be able to do that.
this song must easily be in the top 20 of greatest pop songs ever written..
What a voice!
This is one of my favourite tunes of all time, its perfect..!!!
I loved Abba so much. Many radio DJs at the time were very critical of their music because it wasn't what they were used to but in fact they are brilliantly written, much more complicated than some people realised. I was also impressed by the fact that at that time they didn't actually speak English naturaly, it was their second language, being Swedish.
New Zealand n Australia loved n appreciated them always.❤❤
Noticed that the piano riff is just one loop, it's astonishing how they made this masterpiece with that one piano riff
one of the BEST groups ever!
Hey JV, still so many great ABBA songs you never got around to, especially some of their disco hits.
Gimmee, gimee, gimmee, Voulez Vous, Summer night city, Lay all your love on me, If it wasn't for the night plus loads of other hits
Most young people and many of you Americans doing"reacting"-vids think the Judges in the lyrics are the juridic/legal ones .. As a Swede growing up at the time this song was released I`m pretty sure this is not what the lyrics are really about..(we rarely use/used Courts for fixing/making up after a divorce or a break-up).. "The Judges" who will "decide" in this song are most likely referring to people close to the divorcing couple.. and this tells us a lot about how we humans often take one part in such situations.. And if you think of it this way , these lyrics becomes even more deep, sensetive and great... I really believe that is why ABBAs got so huge ..and still remains so popular and appreciated!! Björn and Benny are legends in songwriting , that`s the true + big explanation !! :D :D
Great song as always. Pure sublime and beautiful
One of the best songs ever with one of the best videos ever .. This is an absolute classic ! .. I almost always feel on the verge of tears whenever I see it .. Agnetha is just wonderful here.
@norman smithers I don't know if I'd go as far as saying that ABBA "dominated" the 70s in quite the same way the Beatles did in the 60s .. But they were certainly in the very top handful of artists based on record sales of that era, and their popularity and legacy are still extremely strong today . I love their music so much !
@norman smithers We clearly have different ideas about what it means to "dominate" .. The musical and cultural influence and record selling numbers of The Beatles throughout the 60's was worldwide and dwarfed almost every other artist of that era .. ABBA were very big indeed in the 70s, but worldwide they couldn't compare with The Beatles .. In America ( the biggest and most important music market ) ABBA only had 1 song that was a chart topper ( Dancing Queen ) .. And regardless of whether you believe The Beatles or ABBA are the most popular today, that is a different question than how much each band dominated their eras at the time .. Like you, I am a huge fan of both bands,, so we can definitely agree about that .. But we'll just have to agree to disagree on our interpretations of their dominance.
@norman smithers Well maybe you should have made yourself clear the first time .. There was nothing in your remarks to indicate that was your thinking .. Just a little tip for next time.😉
@norman smithersThanks for the tip .. I'll make sure to do a course in mind-reading in preparation for next time.😅
Her vocals are so pretty...yet what she is going through is sad. She really reels you in.
Thank you for the reaction. Björn used to say the lyrics are fiction, but in the end he told, that he wrote the lyrics after their divorce, drinking whiskey, within an hour. He then asked Agnetha if it would be too painful for her to sing it, but she said she would. As the professional she is.
Please react to The Day Before You Came. That song is brilliant in all it`s simplicity. Absolutely brilliant.
Another great break up song by Abba: When All Is Said And Done, lead vocals sung by Frida.
Amazing vocals and great lyrics 👌
You should check out ABBA's classic Voulez-Vous. It's got a great beat and vibe that you will really enjoy.
Best Band Ever
"The winner takes it all"
is one of the best songs of the iconic Swedish group ABBA
is the best example of how They can perfectly combine sad and melancholic lyrics with more upbeat melodies or rhythms and catchy choruses.
And in this exceptional case with a luxury vocal performance by the blonde singer Agnetha as lead voice.
If you're going to show him more ABBA songs, with the example of their universal classic Dancing Queen,
my suggestion is that you add to the list
"Waterloo" at Eurovision in UK 1974,
for him to see how ABBA was born to world fame
I hope to see you in more ABBA videos
My best regards to both from
Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
South America
ABBA new how to construct the perfect pop tune and this is no exception. Words and music in perfect sync with each other. A fab song by the Swedish fab 4. Great choice of songs today Jay.😀🎶📀❤️
In 1980 it was a big hit in the Netherlands, nr.1 in the charts for 5 weeks! Dancing Queen for sure!
What I like about this song is it doesn't always have to be about divorce, it might help someone give through other lost. Like the getting fired or recovering from a serious illness. I like waterloo, Fernando (in English & in Spanish) Mama Mia.
This song has always reminded me of that old adage “All’s Fair in Love and War”. Agnetha is singing about the winners and losers in the game of love.
Hey Jayvee! I always think Abba are the only band who can sing upbeat songs that have dark lyrics beside them. They give you that lifting feel but when you listen to the lyrics you realise what they are singing. Brilliant song nevertheless. Sweden has brought us some amazing bands over the years. The best being Abba in my eyes
The Bee Gees are also great at combining upbeat music and sad lyrics...like in the song "Tragedy."
A-ha also does this perfectly. But they are from the neighboring country of Sweden (Norway indeed).
Big Bang kpop group does this quite often. Lies, Haru Haru, Loser, Sober, etc....
Great video I always loved abba and still do. You should make more ABBA reactions and also Laura Branigan she has some more great songs too.
ABBA rule. Well done Trev. ✌️
He might also enjoy The Crabberries / Zombie (live in Paris)
Funny, one of the selling points of ABBA for a lot of older fans in the 70s was that they look clean. It's amazing how many people said that. 😂😂🤣
Yes, so "Squeaky-White" clean. Uggggh!
As if they were fem-bots from an "Austen Powers" comedy. Don't stand too close to them, if they touch you, you turn into a "Stepford Wife" zombie.
I bet that if you stand really close to one, they smell like sour snatch, and vinegar. Uummm, anti- bacterial fresh!
Love this song. It is soooo dramatic. I’ve seen theatrical versions done super well too (from Mamma Mia)
ABBA might be the greatest songwriters of all time. Up there with the Bee Gees, Stevie Wonder, Queen, The Beatles and Crowded House
This song is possibly their greatest... That intro ..the lyrics...
LOVE that JZ tells his mate what to look for....what the songg is about.
This is a great idea bringing Trevor in as a “newbie”. Love it! Jayvee you are such an awesome reactor and really connect with your audience!
ABBA are one of a very few groups or artists that changed music.
A masterpiece
#VERY CLEAR THE WAY SHE DELIVERED THE WORDS & LETTERS.
The piano riff on this song is absolutely insane . Beautiful
Great to see you again Trevor. I think it's interesting, the counterpoint between the meaning of the song and how it goes uptempo is like a metaphor for the story of the band, going through extreme emotional situations while still having to function to put on shows and make recordings. Also let me just say, that voice...those voices...have an almost supernatural impact. They really take me someplace.
ABBA has always been one of my favorite groups. They had lots of hits & I owned many of their albums. I can't think of a bad song by them. Some of their best are "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme", "Thank You For The Music", "Does Your Mother Know?", "Waterloo", "Money, Money, Money", "The Name Of The Game", "Super Trouper", "I Have A Dream", "Voulez-Vous", "Fernando", "Chiquitita", "Take A Chance On Me", "Mamma Mia", "SOS", "Knowing Me, Knowing You", "Dancing Queen" etc. Nice to see that they are back together again recording after all these years.
And more and more...
Slipping throuth my fingers, If it wasn't for the night, Hasta mañana, My mama said, Happy new year , Bang a boomerang, etc... etc...
I love Eagle and Summer Night City
Bang-A-Boomerang! 😂
One of my favs!
Sorry sweetheart, I divorced my ex in 1987 and have still not managed to listen to this wonderful song, it brings back so many memories that I thought that time would have erased by now. I have been married for 29 years to a wonderful and gentle man and I have a happy life so those black days are best left behind me. God bless you all love hugs and peace Mary-Ellen UK
What a Banger Song! Great Lhuuuuurrrd!
It was also the breaking up song for the band ABBA. It came out as their last single, just after (!) the two couples had broken up both. And by the time the song came out, the whole situation, with the plans to divorce both couples, was already clear, even to the general public. Sad story though.
Its great to see you young ones enjoying this music xxx thank you 👍😎 i know its not modern, but share, dance, sing, enjoy 💙
I agree completely, I'm 52 I'm from Wyoming I'm dancing and singing as we speak
@@leahdoerr731 i never stop singing or dancing, im 62 and still boppin around, i sing loud and terribly 👍 always appreciate younger ones taking the time to listen, and you know they are listening, their comments match ours from that era, the music never dies.
If you want a really beautiful voice, incredibly not considered normal for a 9 year old, youtube amira willighagan on hollands got talent with sub titles, then amira with andre reiu. Then amira, nella fantasia. She is 13 when singing this one. The andre reiu on leaves me in tears every single time. Im blown away, her voice at 9 yrs old is compared to maria callais. Not 1 singing lesson, self taught by watching youtube. There were 15,000 ppl in reiu audience. Amira won HGT xxx enjoy, headphones, maybe a joint👍 youre set xxx💋💋💋keep dancing always and its compulsory to grow old but not compulsory to grow up, enjoy, even on bad days. I admire those who take time to listen, especially our young generations. 😘💙
41 old but still relevant and fresh
Years
Wow lots of awesome songs. I like ‘kisses of fire’ , if it wasn’t for the nights’
You are so pleasent 😊❤
YES 😃 ABBA
That woman is perfect in every way!
More ABBA!! Lay all your love on me! 😃
Check out 'The Day Before You Came'. Another great melancholic ABBA song.
Great singing great song
Most abbas songs are sad songs ...I prefer to listen n cry than even smile...their songs when u are down...
Good song one of those my mom grew up with i enjoy listening to
She sings , last verse, seeing me so tense , no self confidence-" cause the Winner takes it all" so the winner took her self confidence as many unfortunately find themselves after a break up especially when the other cheated or has a new love.
Enjoyed you introducing ABBA to your friend- I am from Sweden and grew up on this music- You asked for suggestions for him to react next :
1 Dancing Queen. 2. Move On
3. Name of the Game! 4. Chiquitita
5. Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (a man after midnite) 6. Knowing me Knowing you.
7. Does your mother know 8. I do, I do, I do, I do! 9. Fernando 10. Super Trooper .....and there's like 20 more but I'll stop there🤣
Name of the Game
Yes, it's a happy celebratory song 😁
ABBA song, "I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO!" Shows their great harmony and instrumentals.
Love ABBA and what a beautiful voice .Can you play ABBA the name of the game :)
Hi Jay and Trevor. My favourite ABBA song 👊👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Have loved ABBA for decades. Thank you for this 👍
Gli Abba sono stupendi. E voi ragazzi siete molto simpatici. Vi abbraccio forte dall'Italia 🇮🇹👍❤️
Hi Trevor!Welcome to Jv's!
👋 I grew up to that song! 🌈
Ha.. i always really liked yhese duo reactions lol partly cause was fun seeing jayvee try keep a lid on his excitement and partly cause his buddy sorta slowly got schooled 😭❤️
It gets a whooole lot more impressive when you know the one she was divorcing is the piano player in the same band.
Shes standing there singing this very intimite and personal song and its about the guy sitting on the piano behind her as they preform...
Thats taking professionalism to a whole new level.
She was teasing him, listen closer.....she was rubbing it in! "but you see"..........she was teaching him a lesson and being coy. A tease. She was the winner!
❤️❤️❤️
Don't wanna be a mood hoover but I've just decided that's what I'm gonna have played at my funeral 😃
I've been struggling with that for years.. thanks bro..
Hello to Trevor from Cody wyoming! Nice to see you both... you're my hands down favorite reactor! You keep reacting I'll keep watching! I love your energy and your reactions are so genuine it's a breath of fresh air...believe me😀👋
Song is so sad . I’ve been through divorce this is so accurate
❤️🙏😇
Gotta love Trevor's chill vibe!
I still can not believe you have not yet heard anything from MARILLION one of the best rock/pop groups of the 80's here in the u.k. with the best electric guitar player STEVE ROTHERY this group had huge album sales into the millions with MISPLACED CHILDHOOD & A SCRIPT FOR A JESTERS TEAR....Yet no one has yet featured them in a reaction video..
Darondo's "Didn't I", is another amazing song.
Polka with a beat, they were amazing and the lyrics are quite sharp deep and meaningful. Like Fleetwood Mac, ABBA had internal struggles and actually wrote songs about it and put it out there for all to see and those voices....OK let's make this easy, listen to ABBA Gold and take it from there.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It was voted as the best pop song at one stage.
Sos is my fave
❤️
I think it’s just as well the tempo picks up, it’s otherwise a pretty emotional song lyric wise.
Jayvee .... Very surprised you haven't reviewed The Bee Gees "One" yet .... Their last No. 1 in the U.S. I see quite a few already have .... Well worth it, you'll love it .... 😉👍
Good to see, Jayvee 😄You've already got the next ABBA song for Trevor "Dancing Queen". Do it 👍👍
3 doors down…love me when I’m gone and here without you also Jerry rafferty …right down the line and bakers street….these are all amazing songs. Would love to see your reaction to them…especially 3 doors down
So fun to see your friend react to your excellent choices, you should react to his!😉
Thank you for another great reaction video🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
The sidekick reaction really takes this reaction down (sorry Jayvee, I've always loved your reactions!).
The winner is her and the hubbie the one that wrote the song.
My recommendation to check out Dancing Queen Take A Chance On Me, Mamma Mia Super Trouper, SOS, You Owe Me One Why Does it Have To Be Me and I Have A Dream
A great song Javon. Your buddy couldn't be more wrong !
Hey Jay & Trevor, as you continue to listen to older music you will begin to notice the names of the songs can be confusing or taken in many different ways. Sometimes that is done by design. I wonder if Trevor would be interested in listening to some sultry blues rock, by one of the best blues-rock jam bands ever "The Allman Brothers Band -Whipping Post (9/23/1970)" two brothers Duane Allman and Gregg Allman from Jacksonville Florida formed this band in 1969. The founding members were Duane Allman (lead guitar), Gregg Allman (lead vocals, keyboardist), Dickey Betts (lead guitarist), Berry Oakley (bassist), Butch Trucks (drums) and Jaimoe Johanson. ABBA was one of the best legendary female rock bands of the 1970's and 80's. Nice reaction👍
FIRRRST! Hanging out with Trevor so much by now, I'm calling him Trev in my mind. Hey Trev and Jovaughn!
I dont know if Trevor can handle a deep dive into 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, music Lol, so he better buckle up and come prepared.
