#ABBA - Hudba
My favourite ABBA song, but unfortunately rarely played.
Well why don’t you play it more often? That seems the logical remedy to that problem. CZcams is open 24 hours a day and it’s free. Go on. Treat yourself.

@@unclenelvisI think when they said rarely played they meant that they haven’t heard this song from anywhere else, not that they rarely play this song
The mark of good music is in its durability. Over 40 years on this song and many others by ABBA remain hugely popular and hugely impressive. Thank you for the music. Part of the soundtrack of our lives.
Beutifully haunting music, one on it's own..!
This song described my life 32 years ago, working two jobs as an immigrant who came to the US with nothing, I was working routinely without aim, lived the single life yet still without aim, 5 years later I saw her smiley eyes in a night that changed my life. The very next morning I stood at the window and listened to this beautiful song for the thousand times yet I finally felt what it meant, I listened to my life in a song and I discovered that I am in love with that beautiful girl I saw the night before, fast forward almost 28 years that girl still my wife and I still feel the same feeling that I felt the morning after I saw her the first time. ABBA has impacted my life in the most beautiful way.
Today July 2nd, 2023 we celebrate our 29 anniversary and the day after you came continue to be written, love is a gift that I cherish and never take for granted.....
Fantastic
this is amazing
Bravo Sam!
Oh. Yes Yes Yes 👍😁👍 감사🇰🇷🌈🇰🇷
Счастливые вы!!
it's 2024 and i still love abba. 🚆
So do I ❤️
Ich auch 🔥👌🎶🎶🎶🫠🙏❤️
Me too😮
ABBA forever!!! :)
Навсе времена!!!!❤
I think its what you would call "hauntingly beautiful".
As indeed she is.
Бессмертная музыка. Браво👍🤚👌
Being a 66 year-old Brit and quite familiar with the Abba years, I always thought their greatness was best demonstrated in their poignant songs rather than the party songs (shall we say)
People don't realise it but this is truly one of the greatest masterpieces in modern pop music. No chorus, a double-beat that comes at intervals that feel right but you cannot put your finger on, an extremely mundane story that actually is so powerful from what it doesn't say. The feeling of sadness in the song, a contradiction given the implication it is about finding a new lover. There is so much it leaves you thinking about - just wonderful!
so true.....
merci merci
Yes, this song is so meaningful. I discovered it right before starting a new romance and felt it was saying exactly what I was feeling. Then when that romance failed, it still said exactly what I was feeling on the other side.
genial description..!!
yes!
The best song ever from Abba.
100% indeed
Je ne la connaissais pas, elle est vraiment très belle effectivement.
Flop leider.
🤩🤩🥰🥰❤❤👍👍👍👍
Абба моя любовь
a masterpiece........................
A timeless masterpiece.
One of ABBA's greatest and most underrated singles. Agnetha's vocal is simply stunning and the video is just brilliant.
I want this song to be played on my funeral

At her most beautiful too
So clever to describe a love affair from the emptiness of life before. I've never heard any song do that before or since. Heart-rending and genius.
It is not 'one of the best', it's their very best
Checking in from 2024. Still one of the greatest songs ever made!
One of the best songs ever written...
A great ending to a great band ❤
This is May 2024 and this song of ABBA continues to be exceedingly electrifying, exceptionally elegant, exquisitely expressive, enormously exciting and excellently emotional even today. The singing is singularly soulful, sincere, sentimental, superb, sad yet sweet. ❤❤❤
Masterpiece stay forever
@@Remy_Gration Absolutely right. Thanks. 👌👌👍👍🙏🙏
Never be a better group❤❤ brilliant 🎉
@@philipalmond4768 Thanks. ABBA'S songs are timeless, iconic and classic. 🙏🙏
Another wonderful ABBA song brilliantly performed
This song is a hidden gem. Only people who actually take the time to deep dive into ABBAs discography will find it. Nonetheless it’s one of their absolute best and it makes you wonder what would have happened if they had decided to stick together for a couple more records. Sadly it was emotionally draining for them to continue, you can feel Agnetha’s pain half across The Visitors 😢
🙏❤🙏😍💖💥🔥💫🔥👏👏👏👏👏
Es una de las más bellas canciones del S XX
Para disfrutar escuchándola toda la vida.....
Their final song and also their finest song.
Отличная песня. Эта одна из лучших
@@user-gs8ny4yb4r 👏👏👏👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🖐🖐🖐
ABBA are timeless, this particular song is a absolute gem ❤
Never got the recognition it deserved.
Agnethas voice is hauntingly beautiful
This is an absolute masterpiece.
110% agree
C'est même le CHEF D'ŒUVRE des CHEFS DŒUVRES
The Dutch version of André Hazes Sr is also beautiful. "Met kerst ben ik alleen "
@@carolaburghout7209 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂nou....geef mij deze versie maar!!!!!!!
This song is timeless
A total iconic masterpiece in music history. This song best describes what ABBA was going through as a group at this time and tells the whole story with just the beat. So sad considering this was their last song ever recorded together. It gives me chills knowing that Agnetha refused to sing this song unless the lights were dimmed in the studio and the air was just right. She even had a certain distance from the microphone during the recording. The fact she left the studio right after her last vocal in this song, not saying a word to anybody, and valuing to never go on stage again is haunting. Just makes this song ever so much more meaningful, beautiful, and powerful with how much heartbreak and talent that was involved in its creation. You can hear her heart through her voice. There is no music that comes close to ABBA. They are one of a kind, never to be duplicated again. Everything they did together was a success. And it still holds true today. I hope they never forget what they did for our industry and how much we love them. We miss you ABBA!
You’ve opened my eyes to another possible background to this wow!!!
But it wasn’t their last song ever recorded together. There are at least 5 new songs, and Bjorn is not featured in the recording. Only Agnetha, Frida and Benny are featured.
@@Clavinovaman this is really theirs last song ever
@@Lyngstad72 I understand the point that is trying to be made. In 2017, I agree, this would be a reasonable conclusion. Not the case anymore. No doubt one of the new songs will be, however.
@@Clavinovaman yeah I hope so soon
It's a shame this song didn't get more recognition because it's clearly one of their best.
Ok but how many 'best' do they have?.
@@a.berurier639 A lot
for me it is the sadest
back when it came out i think the feeling of the uk public was it seemed like a very tired abba song, people didn't get it. its only years later they saw it as the masterpiece it really is
Their unrecognised masterpiece.
Zeitlos schön! ❤
Zeitlos schön das ist wirklich war
Undoubtedly one of the finest songs ever written in the history of songwriting. It totally encapsulates the human condition. Sheer brilliance.
The Day Before You Came" is a song that has always resonated with me, for a long time, as it beautifully captures the monotony of daily life and the profound impact a significant person can have on our lives. The lyrics, written from the perspective of the protagonist, meticulously recount the mundane details of their day-to-day existence, or at least, how it once was, and indeed returned to. This highlights the lack of passion and direction in their life, before the arrival of a special someone.
The protagonist explaining their morning routine, such as leaving their house at eight and catching the train. This meticulous description of their daily life emphasizes the sense of obligation and the lack of excitement or spontaneity before the arrival of their lover. As the song progresses, the protagonist describes their workday, lunch break, and the commute back home, illustrating a rigid and predictable routine. The lyrics "I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day, without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away" suggest a disconnection from their emotions and a sense of being only partially present in their own life, just going by, and by.
The music video is also a departure from ABBA's previous work, which often featured the band members dressed in glamorous outfits and upbeat, energetic visuals. In contrast, the video for "The Day Before You Came" features Agnetha Fältskog as the protagonist, dressed in somber attire, riding the train, interacting with her lover, and driving home in the rain. To somber tunes. The individual shots of the band members sitting alone in an empty, theatre-like setting which indeed could before have been used to play a concert in, full of people, and now, empty, further contribute to the overall melancholic atmosphere of the video. As well as the shots of the train going by, and a sense of separation at it's core.
In my opinion, "The Day Before You Came" is possibly the greatest love song ever made, or at least one of them. The song's emotional depth & versatility, coupled with its introspective lyrics and poignant tone, showcased ABBA's ability to craft songs that resonated with listeners on multiple levels. The song serves as a powerful reminder of how the arrival of someone special can bring newfound meaning and purpose to one's existence.
Moreover, the song is particularly significant as it was the last one recorded by ABBA together before they split. The themes of longing, introspection, and the eventual realization of the impact this person has had on their life could be interpreted as a metaphor for the band's journey, with the members moving on from their time together and returning to their individual lives. When you also realize that they all were couples, it adds a deeper meaning to it as well. This added layer of meaning makes the song even more poignant and powerful, reflecting on both personal relationships and the group's journey as a whole. These different approaches help make it a lot more profound.
This is a song that has deeply touched me, and i can listen to it again and again, as it captures the essence of love, longing, and the transformative power of human connection. It stands out not only as one of ABBA's most moving songs but also as one of the greatest love songs ever made. The song's themes and the music video's visual representation of the protagonist's life create a powerful and poignant experience that remains unforgettable. At it's core, the lyrics just describe a normal day most of us can recognize, but when you add the melody to it, it tells you that something more is going on here. This song remains one of ABBA's more less known songs compared to dancing queen, or the winner takes it all, but whereas those were part of their journey, i think the day before you came can be seen as the end.
Солидарна с вами ! Спасибо за анализ , сказано точно !👌
So close to connect the philosophical text with the style of disco music was not possible before the group ABBA no one.
your comment really touched me,i didnt know this song was there last,till yesterday when i read your comment,thank you for explaining what happened when abba broke up,ive never known till now,ive loved abba since i was 5 or 6 years old,im 53 now
Wonderful interpretation, it would deserve more attention
Your comments added even more meaning to this amazing song. I've listened to this song so many times. It makes me wonder why it affects me so much.
If it’s possible to make you feel happy and sad at he same time, this song does it perfectly. A timeless classic
ABBA songs are very emotional... "Inside Out" taught us we can feel more than one emotion together sometimes.
In my opinion, best song they made
The best ABBA song ever
One of the most intelligent pop songs ever written and an incredible performance by Agnetha. Abba's true masterpiece.
Amazing song!💖
Ididnt know this song, must be one of eldest they made before end.
@@albertok5715 Yes. It's their second last single and the last song they ever made together. It received little airplay and only reached no.32 when it was released in '82 so unfortunately many people won't know it.
My favo ♥️
This song always gives me goosebumps.Makes my hair stands up.Amazing song and performance.All Hail Abba
absolutely one of the best ABBA songs ever....and a lot of people don't know it, but its truly a masterpiece!
zanetierney for me this is the greatest abba song
most people dont know it because it was released not on album but as a single
A love you
zanetierney best ABBA song, for me
zanetierney Couldn´t agree more.....
zanetierney You ain't wrong pal. I grew up with Abba and this song always meant the most. I just love the way it documents!
Beauty 💯❤❤❤❤
Brilliant. Must admit this never happened to me on the Marske to Middlesbrough train. 😢
And now, we have a new ABBA songs, so this beautiful song is not the last one, which was recorded!😜
Sure thing....😊👍
Wasn't it "Under Attack"?
Pedro Bonucci under attack was the last single, but the last song recorded (until 2018) was the day before you came
This was the last one to be recorded? :))) One of their best songs, in my opinion.
The best ever👍
Best ABBA song ever.... Its classical....stunningly beautiful....
Как будто снова вернулся в свою юность
I listen to this song very often. I just love it!!!!
Yes me too ❤❤❤
By God, what beauty Agnetha is, unmatched. ❤❤❤❤❤
The real miracle of the song, is that the man who wrote the lyrics didn't speak English as his first language, and neither did the man who put the words to music. Fantastic song, as is Andante Andante, their other gem.
Winner Takes it All. Another stunning work of art.
@@davidelliott5843Chiquitita too!❤
This is the best song Abba ever made. Truly amazing. Makes you wonder if they’d carried on a little longer. This song is a masterpiece.
They precisely did not carry on a little longer because of this song not topping the chart (Benny said that if THIS song had been a success, they would have continued a couple of years more).
Yes.... it is the very best song of abba ❤❤❤
@@leilashampoo1408 Sadly as the 80s came, both couples divorced and the ABBA craze of the 70s had started to fade.
Had they continued they would’ve came up with more masterpieces. “I Am The City” was a testament to that, on what was supposed to be their album after “The Visitors”, “Opus”. But “Opus” never happened. “Just Like That” was a masterpiece in the works but never fully completed.
@@leilashampoo1408 but they were also also going in different directions and the public did not appreshiate the album at the time
I love it, there is so many feelings ❤
Masterpiece ❤
I’m 60 now. My favourite Abba song. Masterpiece.
Always been mine too. Masterpiece
Me too! Only discovered this classic Euro beat a couple of years ago. Great to dance to on your own.
I’m 63 now and it’s m’y favourite ABBA song too
It really is a wonderful track.
I love this song but ABBA really Never made a bad record.
This song has everything:; hope, loss, desire, futility. I remember the day I met the love of my life, but I do not remember the day before. This is Abba as a mature musical entity. This song is amazing. Truly, truly remarkable.
Masterpiece!!!!!!!
Its haunting you and you cant escape it

It's true. 23 june 2023 was an ordinary day.. ❤.24 th june 2023 my life change ❤❤❤
The BEST ABBA VIDEO AND A POP MASTERPIECE❤️
Pete Waterman said if I had only written one song in his life, it would have been this one. He absolutely loves it, as I do
A musical masterpiece. Doesn't matter if you're into heavy metal to Mozart and everything in-between. This is just brilliant. The vocals and the story of a mundane day brought to life in this recording. And the background music. I'm no expert so probably a technical name for it but it's so understated but so brilliant at the same time. Just my opinion but i think this is the best Abba song by a country mile and possibly one of the all time greats. Love to hear your thoughts and if you agree or disagree.
Benny is closest to the classic composers that we had in our lifetime. This song is brilliant due to the mixture of synths, drops and the haunting backvocals of Frida, who sound like a grieving mythological creature. Masterpiece to say at least.
I agree I know all genres of music this stands out from most
Да
"it's funny but I had no sense of living without aim. The day before you came."
All the song is made for that, and that two simple sentences tell so much. Great lyrics.
I was captivated by those lines too. They say so much, yet the song remains ambiguous. Great tune.
It's about hope somehow - love comes one day -, but also about the sadness of the emptiness until then... an emptiness we fill with busy-ness and TV and reading and normal everyday things... Yet there's something missing... and she didn't know until it entered her life... So the Aim should be Love. :-)
Agnetha is just divine she is so gorgeous and her voice is just amazing ❤️
Miranda Lockhart
so true
I love Aghetha. And this is just a new love for me. Strange life.
I agree Miranda In this vid Agnetha looks sensationally lovely.
how old agnetha now is she still alive pls,answer my question?
One of my all time Favourite songs
It just says everything.. the song and the performance that you are so.. that it is hard for the listener to remain indifferent.. the pain is also so beautiful,, that you can connect with it with all the veins of the soul.. you are simply a musical legend.. and we the listeners thank you for all the beautiful music that you gave We have your extraordinary voice.. I just love you.. I have no other words...
OMG this song, the words, the haunting melody, the look's they give each other, the train on the bridge , it's just a masterpiece. Nothing more to say.
@@aMusingAngel1 ... I won't, hence "Nothing more to say"
It is also classy. No need for being almost naked, shaking your bits and swearing. Truly beautiful music video and song.
a confession to yet uknown lover... very honest... we all expierence it every our days... and then... a silence...
Gibts nix mehr zu sagen,in der Nacht....genial
No more ace to play.
possibly the most under rated song by abba, fantastic song
4 me it´s a good ending of the great abba story.
Really good song!
Sad, but good….

Beats a lot of records in these times. Look sales counts and love from the fans.

One of the best songs ever written. Simply stunning. Nothing to better it. My absolute favourite song of all time.
Still outstanding after 40 years.
I had such a crush on this beautiful singer when I was a lad
Their best song. A masterpiece. It’s eternal and here I am at 57 listening to it. Over and over. So happy they are back. I have been transferred with the 2 new songs to my college days.

The greatest pop group ever
This is truly the best Abba song ever wow! what a masterpiece! the mood of the song is so powerfull, and with it being the last recording before they split in 1982 it explains why, for a song to make you cry and hit you so hard is not an easy thing to do! well done guys i only wish this song got the praise and recognition it deserves, the video is also perfect for the song even down the the lighting.
Слышится полный трагизм в отношениях, терзания и страдания души, невозможно передать это чувство, когда слова так гармонично ложатся на мелодию.
ABBA didn't split they took a break in January 1983 it was a hiatus they never officially split
ABBA the Best yes VOL.....

Video rất hoàn hảo.❤❤❤❤
ABBA were musical masters. Their songs are as fresh today as they were when they were released. Such a great musical legacy.
Yes indeed, and this is why I am sure that 100-500 years from now, ABBA will be regarded in a similar way to how we enjoy the composers of hundreds of years ago. They are truly unique, with an amazing portfolio of songs, never to be repeated again, and to be preserved for ever.
It must never be forgotten, that like many great and successful recording / performing musical artists, they had a great team of producer's and Musician's supporting them, a wonderful organisation altogether.
Sencillamente hermosa el sonido enigmatico y encantador le da un aire magico y envolvente que invita a viajar en un viaje imagínario en el tiempo y el espacio casi un sueño sicodelico me costo pero lo encontré gracias ABBA po r tantas obras musicales como esta una verdadera joya que acaricia mis oidos siempre sere su agradecido

Here's a thought or two for anybody who has trouble believing in either love or fate.
I was at a disco in about 1983/84. Right in front of me was a face which totally captivated me. Like a trance, i was dazed completely. Again and again, week after week i saw this young lady as we went to the same weekly discos. There i would sit just in awe of how pretty she was to me. Friends were talking to me(i barely heard them). Then one night i plucked up the courage to ask the girl to dance with me(i couldn't dance..yet it didn't seem to matter)..i walked across the dance hall floor and went for it. She turned and looked at me....and just at that moment when i felt she was going to say "NO, sorry...i'm ok thanks" or "i'd rather not".....she said..."I'D LOVE TO DANCE WITH YOU".
This caught me out completely and as we started to dance together, she realised i didn't have a clue....unbelievably she took hold of me and said.."just follow my lead..you'll be alright".......i did.....we ended up dating for about three months...then for no real reason we drifted apart. I never forgot her though..or her generous nature, kindness and beautiful character. Years went by, broken relationships, gaps of hurt and pain, lost years drifting through life and doomed relationships just scraping through day by day.
Twelve years later i meet the girl again outside of a video rental shop. She was in a relationship. I was alone...still drifting. I handed her my address in case she was ever alone, thinking she looks happy, she won't bother. But she had, unbeknown to me. Two years later, i was in a garage waiting for a parts delivery driver to turn up with some parts for my van. Eventually the parts girl arrived and kept staring at me. Finally she came across and asked my name. I told her and asked "WHY?". She said she had a friend who had been looking for me, somebody i had once dated. I asked her "who?..what's her name?"...she said both her first name and her second. I recognised the first name but not the second...and i walked away with "sorry..i don't know her"...she was stunned and said "are you sure?"...i said "yes...i only ever went out with one girl with THAT first name..but not the second name". She seemed to accept it.
Suddenly, as i was driving away, the parts-delivery girl banged on my window and shouted....."SHE CHANGED HER NAME, I REMEMBER....SHE CHANGED HER NAME"...in that split second, my life changed forever.
It was HER...the young lady i'd danced with. We got together with the shortest ever phone call and later on she confessed that she'd searched for me but i'd moved. The gap had been 14 years but like two magnets JUST missing each other through a variety of circumstances...we had finally found each other again....did it work out????.....
Well, nearly 20 years later, we are still married and have a 15 year old daughter....so, if there is a moral to this story, it's this...
NEVER GIVE UP ON LOVE...because LOVE is more than capable of FINDING YOU.
What's this to do with Abba's song?...it was the song i always remembered back at the time of those discos....and a song, which i still play today to remind me of just how close we fly to love sometimes...STAY STRONG and BELIEVE.
Beautiful. Thank you sir
Oh man, w h a t a wonderful story! O:-) thanx for it. :-)
Says it all .such wisdom an simplicity in how to be .
