    It's amazing how the vocals can make you cry but feel good at the same time, that goes for 99% of ABBA songs.

    Agnetha's and Frida's vocal blending is still untouchable and put in shame lots of todays female autotuned harmonizers.It's just so unique and gorgeous that is out of this world.An absolute Utopia,made in heaven.

    The reason why ABBA is so hard to cover because of the layers of sounds and the intricate voices of Frida and Agnetha. Singers even the best ones are really nervous to sing an ABBA song because Björn and Benny made it so difficult by being so genius plus Frida and Agnetha's voices are really really top notch.

    • @christianoazzuro6711
      @christianoazzuro6711 Před rokem +4

      "Singers even the best ones are really nervous to sing an ABBA song..."lol SO TRUE!And it took talent and exceptional charisma to do these songs.They had to really sing not to be 'autotune projects'.Not to mention that some of todays overestimated divas sometimes have to connect their mouth straight to 'machinery' to even strike a note.

    • @GivenToe

    This was a typical Swedish flat 😂it belonged to Lasse Hallstrom it was his personal apartment in stockholm he directed this video amongst most of ABBAs 😉 This song is so poignant in it’s entirety it has the more mature lyrics that filtered thru The Visitors album 💜 Both couples are now divorced and you can feel and hear the raw emotions and energy within this song I feel personally 🙌 This was ABBAs last big hit well until ISHFIY and DSMD was released 😁 I love the clarity and raw emotions that Agnetha portrayed in her lead vocals and Frida within the Ahh’s and chorus when the two ladies are combined so emotional and eloquent ❤ This was also my first ever vinyl single I received it for Xmas 1982 😂

    • @GivenToe
      @GivenToe  Před rokem +1

      Typical Swedish flat indeed XD Really? That, I did not know! Yeah I could see the sadness in their eyes on the video. ISHFIY and DSMD are epic songs! We are blessed with their return! Wow, sounds like a good christmas!

    I feel the impact you got by hearing this.A fab song with nostalgic sense.Benny wasn't even keen on releasing it as a single but this went to be their last big hit before their 'silent' disbanding one year after.And then,almost 4 decades of drought until the VOYAGE era.Unbelievable.But people didn't wash away Abba.They were too great to be forgotten.

      This was just after her divorce with Benny, who cheated on her. She was pretty devastated. I think her breakup was harder on her than Agnetha, who was still able to work with Björn for years after their divorce. Such a sad story for both the women.

    Once I cleaned up my morning coffee from laughter. Where do I park the Delorean? Your reactions are wonderful. I know that it's been ages since I have written anything, ill health has left me struggling.
    This is one of my all time favorites. The Visitors album is a masterpiece and a tour de force of song writing, like all ABBA albums. The mandolin adds a beauty to this beautiful song. Both ladies voices are gifts. The harmony between these two beautiful and extremely talented women still surprises me after all these years. Music made in heaven. 🙏
    Hmmmm David sending you my cleaning bill. 😂
    Good luck to you and your family with the move.

    @123billydog Před 5 měsíci

    I adore this song, and its one of Lasse Hallstroms best ABBA videos. If you listen to One Of us' lyrics you can understand the woman left the man for someone else and is clearly full of regret and realising she's made a huge mistake feeling she was a concealed attraction being robbed of her chances. Interestingly if you flip forward and listen to 'Don't Shut Me Down', apart from its obvious referances to their ABBAtars (Now and then combined), this could be the same woman waiting for her chance to try and get past what she's done and reclaim her original relationship. It feels very similar to the lyrical situations and story of 1977's 'One Man One Woman' which fits very nicely 40 years later to 'I Can Be That Woman'. In that scenario the woman stays in the not complelety satisfying relationship which 40 years later has almost distroyed them both. Too much lyrical in depth musings lol.

    They where a combination created somewhere ffom another galaxy.

    Как интересно вы рассказали про цветы на подоконниках) А для нас, где все было другое в бывшем Советском союзе, удивительно было смотреть, что Агнета, суперзвезда из всемирно известной группы, красит стены и клеит обои, как делали все мы постоянно, о строителях по ремонту квартир никто не слышал) Потому божественная красота звучания ложилась на эту земную жизнь из клипа и создавала какое-то особенное острое чувство, которое невозможно описать, но оно абсолютно уникально

    Love your intro. ABBA had such a full sound very seldom matched with their layering of audio. It just gave their music such depth. They just kept getting better and better at it with every album, and as Benny said there is no need to have a song with pauses in it (roughly). I really enjoy this song,it is a sad song especially when you think of where their personal lives were at this point as couples and a group. You don’t get to see videos where Benny isn’t smiling. I know this was all for the video but sad to see. Thanks again for the double header, was hoping to see you react to Tommy but this made my day. 😊😊😊

    A beautiful song. It reflects the melancholy of The Visitors album I believe. I know what you mean about the sound being so different from the album you are reviewing now until this. It shows how Benny and Bjorn matured as songwriters over the years and just got better and better.I love this album but it always makes me a little sad as we realised Abba were coming to a natural end - until the masterpiece that is Voyage of course 😁

    hello again GivenToe, what a surprise!
    but so nice to see you again in another ABBA Journey
    And so funny the introduction hahaha
    there is much to say about
    "One of us" (1981)
    1) It is a beautiful song, it has a soft melody and melancholic lyrics that allow Agnetha to shine with a very sweet voice, and a catchy and harmonic chorus
    2) was ABBA's last big hit, #1 in several European countries and #3 in the UK (last Top 10 of their 18 singles consecutives between 1975/1982, since "S.O.S.")
    3) recorded at the end of 1981, the two couples were already separated (Agnetha & Björn almost 3 years ago, Benny & Frida a few months ago)
    4) the official video is very good, it shows Agnetha (with a more mature beauty) acting sober and convincing rebuilding a love life from a move
    5) In my opinion it is together with "Slipping through my fingers" the best song from the album "The Visitors" , where the melancholy and rawness of their lyrics is most pronounced in the context of a complex album of musical exploration away from ABBA's signature pop, and an image of the four singles over the two couples
    6) the official video was filmed in Lasser Hällstrom apartament, the film director of almost all official ABBA videos and "ABBA The Movíe" (1977)
    some fans said, with ABBA comeback in 2021, that the new song "Don't shut me down" is a sequence of "One of us" after 40 years
    "Don't shut me down" (2021) is a fantastic song, a new ABBA masterpiece, and last Top10 in UK to ABBA an other countries, included #1 in Sweden and Switzerland
    (and I remember your amazing reaction, in the Top of the Most Views in your channel)
    I hope to see you soon return to ABBA chronological order (I believe that the next song and video is S.O.S.)
    My greetings to you from
    Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷
    South America

(Att de skulle återförenas var en utopi och fanns inte på kartan.... ) De har en oerhörd musikskatt och deras musik åldras aldrig. Tack för underhållningen! 🤘

    Minns inte om jag tipsade men har du inte sett när Benny Anderssons Orkester är med i På Spåret och Laleh sjunger Phil Collins ljuvliga låt Against all odds i en svensk cover med bredvid Benny på piano så måste du kika på det. Magi!

      @@Lisa-M Frida changed her hairstyle multiple times during her ABBA career, but from the "Super Trouper" hairstyle to that radical change, it was so unexpected and shocking. But I loved it, especially the purple style. In my opinion, it rejuvenated her. On the other hand, I never quite got used to her blonde era, though.
