The last single was actually The Day Before You Came released in 1981 so FORTY years ago. They are not doing a tour as the set up they are using is so complex. They have purpose built The ABBA Arena at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London U.K. It’s a 3000 seat venue and the 4 year residency starts in late May 2022 & I have my ticket for the 28th August which is a Saturday and I’m Making it a blowout weekend !!! It’s a 10 piece live band too and the lights and lasers for the show look stunning !!!! Watch the full Livecast announcement on ABBA VOYAGE channel and you can see a preview of the show there !!!!
"I am not the one you knew, I am now and then combined, And I am asking you to have an open mind." Brilliant lyrics. And lyrics one won't fully appreciate until one has lived a bit and attained a certain age.
THIS IS BIG, AND SO EMOTIONAL. ABBA IS BACK STRONGER THAN EVER. NO ONE CAN SHUT ABBA DOWN. NEW ABBA ALBUM OUT ON NOVEMBER 5 2021, ABBALICIOUS TREAT 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Never another band in the in the world of music,who made such great sing along and happy songs,when you listen too ABBA,no matter where you are in the world,it is like instantly being on holiday ,you just forget all your problems and worries,and just enjoy the happiness of the moment.love them.great reaction as usuall guys,well done.
Global sensations! I grew up with it and I lived in the middle east back then. Lulu grew up with it in the Philippines. It's truly remarkable how their music has spread around the world.
I grew up in eighties, in former Czechoslovakia, in times ABBA was on the "break". When I was like 9 years old, my mother brought from Poland two audiocassettes (Greatest Hits 1 and 2). She borrowed them to me and i was trapped in ABBA´s magic ever since. So you can imagine how hard was for me to listen to new songs without being moved to tears. Tears of joy and pure excitement. Never in my life would i ever think about the possibility to wittness ABBA reunited and making such a great music. The magic is still there and never left us.
What ABBA has created is something completely unique and it has never happened before in music history. Not only has it been almost 40 years, but their music is a masterpiece well and you can recognize them instantly. I am now 60 years old and still have their first LP and old cassettes that I play on my old turntable here at home. I am extremely grateful that I experienced this moment. You get emotional easily and rightly so.
ABBA was part of my childhood in the 1970s and I grew up with ABBA music. Now, almost 40 years later, I am delighted to experience the return of ABBA with new songs. The magic of ABBA is still there.
Agnetha runs a horse ranch with her family, Bjorn is president of CISAC and a leading humanist, Frida is a princess and environmentalist and Benny is very active with his studios and writing still with Bjorn
🧡 ABBA ! EVERYONE BACK TO THE DANCE FLOOR ! PLATINUM. Nothing less. Landing on the U.S. charts at #11 and deejays are already remixing this song into long-play singles. The magic is back. The dream is alive. Doing for us what no other superstars have ever attempted.
such a loss to humanity that they haven't made music for such a long time. What they do is priceless, nobody comes close, they make real music, everyone can relate to it and it makes you so happy!!
Björn and Benny has Done plenty of music during the years but not with ABBA. Like chess and Kristina from Duvemåla. Benny has an orchestra named just that: Benny Andersson’s orchestra. Listen to them they are great.
@@ing-marie2089 Yes! I get so tired of people acting like the ABBA members have done nothing in the past 39 years. Benny must have released twenty albums or so, including the film music and musicals.
I feel you! I'm a Swedish 55 y.o ABBA fan. Good old ABBA lifting us up from covid hardship as they deliver Love Hope & Friendship , again. I literally cry floods of tears, of joy.
Abba's music gives many people, especially now in these times, the feeling of warmth, of being emotionally "depressed" and the hope that maybe everything will be fine in the end. Why do even younger people have tears in their eyes with emotion when they hear the new songs for the first time? There is something about this music that cannot be analyzed or calculated. I call out to the cold critics: "Let's do this magic"
Thank You For The Music was released by ABBA in 1977, which was 44 years ago. The last time ABBA released an album was 40 years ago with The Visitors - Nov. 30, 1981 (which I still have along with I Love ABBA, Voules-Vous, ABBA The Spanish Album, and ABBA Gold). So happy to see they still have it.
U R right, people ARE crazy about ABBA's new Don't Shut Me Down & I Still Have Faith In You. They entered music charts at #1 AND #3 simultaneously... after a short, 38-year hiatus. As Grandma Cher would say "Follow this, bitches!!" (grin)
Benny was surprised when the girls said yes when he asked if they wanted to record 2 new songs, and then they still felt the chemistry when recording so 2 songs became 10. Alot of ABBAs original sound came from their sound technician Michael B. Tretow, as far as i know he's not working with this, but i guess they have numerous stuff in the archives for inspiration.
With Stig Anderson as lyricist and Michael Tretow on sound engineering , the band fired on all cylinders with the incredible voices of the girls. It is so crazy to me how nothing seemed to click for them in Europe with so many great songs early on . Then they went to Australia and the rest is history
Yeah your right. Im a swede and actually didnt like ABBA that much as a child cause they played them on radio all the time. But interesting is that its very sentimental now when im older. ABBA represent good genuine melancholic music with deep lyrics that i now understand as an adult but not as a child. Their music treasure is timeless and with feelings we all have and unite people all around the world. ABBA forever!
According to Benny the two movies that really kicked Abba back into the limelight were the Australian movies 'Muriel's Wedding' and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Pure joy. Thank you for sharing this joy with us. Our older people have another greatest adventure (death) in life. We know everything. But the joy of loving everything remains with us. My dear ones. Greetings from Estonia!
I've been reading thru the comments. Most are positive and spot on. To the negative Nancy's out there? My mama always told me," if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing". Great reaction guys. ABBA still rocks!
What have they been doing? Only solo albums and singles, three musicals, two movies, Benny has his own orchestra, the ABBA Museum, and Bjorn is president of the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers ... amongst so much else going on in their lives ( and so much hardship too). That's all 🙄. Why do Americans always have to like ABBA from behind a veil of mockery?
Yes, and don't forget about all the months and endless hours of physical and emotional work on the avatars for their "live" performance. I was watching some docu-videos about that and the process and results are amazing. I was a bit skeptical at first but was sold after seeing video snippets of the results. Would love to see it live.
Buffets in Vegas? Go to LA? News for you: they live in the other end of the world. They didn´t even go to the States when they where on their height; they went to Australia and Japan though. I think that´s a good thing with ABBA too, that they never tried to live up to the US ´s expectations. Not meaning that in a critical way, other than USA is a super power that easily swallows things that gets into it´s mouth. Have you been listening to Dirty Loops later btw? Speaking about Swedish-American music relations... Their brand new cover on MJ´s thriller is extremely recommendable.
Oh, what a force and power of love. Once again - we show we show young people the way.How to create something beautiful and heartfelt and loving.Our love will always remain with you.My dear, my dear.Greetings from Estonia! Love always stays with me!
BINGO? They’re and have been much active , Frida organizes rock festival in Zermatt Switzerland every year and works for environmental organizations while Bjorn is the head of a movement of composers worldwide and writes the lyrics for Bennys folk band that tours every year in Sweden . They’re much into producing films beside the Mamma Mia Ones and the next ABBAtars concerts they’ve in involved for 5 years now . Agnetha recorded an album in 2013 , they have also restaurants named Mamma Mia the Party with live music and they appear now and then . NOPE NO TIME FOR BINGO
Hey, there was in interview with Agnetha Fältskog on radio today, where she said she had been watching reaction videos of their new songs. She said she found it difficult to grasp how people from all around the world was so moved by their new music. So perhaps she has watch your video!
There is no special video for the song yet, but the video from the release event is quite fun. Remarkable how they managed to synch all this so well. Images from the light show on Sydney Harbour Bridge was even posted on NSW Government on Facebook. czcams.com/video/pJBGk9Hed8o/video.html
Get tickets for one of the concerts to be held in London at a facility that is being built just for those concerts starting May of 2022 and have the time of your life. You think those avatars are animation? No it's not, it's what's next, thanks to ABBA and Industrial Light and Magic.
I'm a Finn living in Sweden and I can tell you people are not going crazy. They should, I know, but they don't. They are quick to condemn but not praise their celebrities. Maybe a good way to keep your feet on the ground?
I really don't appreciate Ashley the whole bingo comments, cuz Benny and Bjorn have been working their asses off Non-Stop since ABBA ended in 1982 and the girls haven't been too shabby either they've been dipping their toes in the musical Waters here and there so it's not like they just died they have been busy just not hugely busy like this is
so great music. It is a shame that they wasted their talent for nearly 40 years. a 10 year break is acceptable. what all could they have produced in 1995 2000, 2008, 20012, 20115 . ?

The last single was actually The Day Before

Abba have not lost it after 40 years away as this song can go side by side with there greatest hits its that good
Life has been lonely without ABBA. So glad they’re back.
Love em
Love em
"I am not the one you knew, I am now and then combined,
And I am asking you to have an open mind."
Brilliant lyrics. And lyrics one won't fully appreciate until one has lived a bit and attained a certain age.
Absolutly exploded here in Sweden when comeback came.. Wow finaly some more ABBA 😍🇸🇪 Songs are so much ABBA and amazing.. They still got it😍
I think the whole world is shocked by the comeback!
Not even in Sweden. It's massive world wide. Pure magic ❤️
That's fantastic because pre 1974 (Eurovision) they weren't that popular in Sweden. That often happens.
Particularly with music.

When I heard this song, memories just poured out and so did emotions. They dominated the 70ies and created a signature sound that still gets to you!

Beautiful! So ABBA! I love them and always will. This takes me back to 1974 when we first heard them with Waterloo.
I'm so emotional. I've always been an Abba Fan. SO HAPPY THEY'RE BACK! ❤😭
ABBa I am glad they returned. It is a gift, like you´d said
ABBA was part of my childhood in the 1970s and I grew up with ABBA music. Now, almost 40 years later, I am delighted to experience the return of ABBA with new songs. The magic of ABBA is still there.

Who!??
Agnetha runs a horse ranch with her family, Bjorn is president of CISAC and a leading humanist, Frida is a princess and environmentalist and Benny is very active with his studios and writing still with Bjorn
🧡 ABBA !
EVERYONE BACK TO THE DANCE FLOOR !
PLATINUM. Nothing less. Landing on the U.S. charts at #11 and deejays are already remixing this song into long-play singles.
The magic is back. The dream is alive. Doing for us what no other superstars have ever attempted.
You know it's a hit when the DJs are remixing it already!
such a loss to humanity that they haven't made music for such a long time. What they do is priceless, nobody comes close, they make real music, everyone can relate to it and it makes you so happy!!
Absolutely. We were a victim of their success because they got so rich so quickly!
Björn and Benny has Done plenty of music during the years but not with ABBA. Like chess and Kristina from Duvemåla. Benny has an orchestra named just that: Benny Andersson’s orchestra. Listen to them they are great.
Well, They had to be Ready To return, so couldn't do it until now. They have taken everyone by surprise
They have come back naturally when they felt like it which is good,it isn't a forced comeback.
@@ing-marie2089 Yes! I get so tired of people acting like the ABBA members have done nothing in the past 39 years. Benny must have released twenty albums or so, including the film music and musicals.
Pre-orders for ABBA‘s new album ‘Voyage’ have broken records in the UK after over 80,000 copies were purchased in just three days.
I truly pray they have laid their inner demons to rest. This may be the way to do that. They are amazing that they can do this in their 70s.
I feel you! I'm a Swedish 55 y.o ABBA fan. Good old ABBA lifting us up from covid hardship as they deliver Love Hope & Friendship , again. I literally cry floods of tears, of joy.
It's like a big healing listening to this songs today. I can't hide my tears!

As Grandma Cher would say "Follow this, bitches!!" (grin)
ABBA made the world happy and ABBA is a gift from the God.
today I am a proud Swede again .. 🇸🇪
You should be. ABBA is stil te best. Even after 40 years. ❤️
That piano sweep is called a "glissando"
Ah I knew there was a name for that. Thx!
Often shortened to “gliss” in English.
Yeaaaah!!!!!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏....I was thinking to get the sweep name

@@ReactToTheWorld Michael Tretow was heavily inspired by Phil Spector and the "Wall of sound" but did it his way with layers upon layers.

It's ABBA magic ❤️ I can't believe it how good it is. This is huge
I have to thank the Mamma Mia movies and Cher for bringing back Abba songs . They nailed the songs and did Abba justice. Including Cher.
According to Benny the two movies that really kicked Abba back into the limelight were the Australian movies 'Muriel's Wedding' and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
THEY ARE BACK JUST IN TIME. THE WORLD NEEDS ABBA.
Omg Abba what a comeback beautiful is'nt it love them forever
It's what this world has been waiting for.
ABBA are always activ, not just now❤
Just stunningly beautiful, amazing ♥
Pure joy. Thank you for sharing this joy with us. Our older people have another greatest adventure (death) in life. We know everything. But the joy of loving everything remains with us. My dear ones. Greetings from Estonia!
Preorders for the album, “Voyage”, are smashing all existing sales records! CD at Target is $12.99!
Benny is pretty busy with his orchestra these days but I don’t know about the others.
One is a real life princess now
Agnetha has been doing a lot with her solo career. Good stuff too.
I've been reading thru the comments. Most are positive and spot on. To the negative Nancy's out there? My mama always told me," if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing". Great reaction guys. ABBA still rocks!
like you , very happy they come back .since long time waiting .is a gift
What have they been doing? Only solo albums and singles, three musicals, two movies, Benny has his own orchestra, the ABBA Museum, and Bjorn is president of the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers ... amongst so much else going on in their lives ( and so much hardship too).

Агнета как всегда поет душой, а душа у не нежная....
it`s good that they decided to make music again, may be stay around for voyage part 2 as well.
It's been 40 years...
I love that!! "This is all we know!" 🤣🎶 Thank God! Hahaha! xxx
Ein Geschenk.Ich bin so glücklich.
The whole world is excited!
I just subscribed. You two are a complete breath of fresh air.
I can't wait till Nov 05 - then you have plenty things (8 more songs) to react to .....and I will be here to enjoy it.
I believe the song is about the ABBAtars
BINGO? They’re and have been much active , Frida organizes rock festival in Zermatt Switzerland every year and works for environmental organizations while Bjorn is the head of a movement of composers worldwide and writes the lyrics for Bennys folk band that tours every year in Sweden . They’re much into producing films beside the Mamma Mia Ones and the next ABBAtars concerts they’ve in involved for 5 years now .

FYI on the Voyage album there will be a Christmass song "Little Things"
I love the both of you ❤️. I love your reaction . So fresh
3:25. Benny was asked in a recent interview if he still has the Mini Moog for all the old sounds. He confirmed, he does!
Hey, there was in interview with Agnetha Fältskog on radio today, where she said she had been watching reaction videos of their new songs. She said she found it difficult to grasp how people from all around the world was so moved by their new music. So perhaps she has watch your video!
You are the best! Love from Sweden!!
ABBA❤️❤️❤️🇸🇪 Eternal
I'am from Sweden this makes me proud you know 🙏
Check out ¨I Can Be That Woman Now ¨ on Abba´s VOYAGE cd.

More mature. Like old red wine. Deep red and shiny same time. Priceless
Get tickets for one of the concerts to be held in London at a facility that is being built just for those concerts starting May of 2022 and have the time of your life. You think those avatars are animation? No it's not, it's what's next, thanks to ABBA and Industrial Light and Magic.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT ,
1:53 yeah...
Yeeah that's ABBA !!
Love the ABBA-tars.
This song has huge elements of that song IF IT WASNT FOR THE NIGHTS..
I'm a Finn living in Sweden and I can tell you people are not going crazy. They should, I know, but they don't. They are quick to condemn but not praise their celebrities. Maybe a good way to keep your feet on the ground?
Thank you for the music is from 1977. Nothing to do with their split up in 1982/83
I preorderd the CD box special edition
This song gives me serious felicata vibes…lol i can’t be the only one! Someone back me up on this or i swear i’ll lose it! Haha
The French pronounce the letters A and B as AH and BER, so to them it is like us calling the group AY BEE as in A and B.
God is talking through this song -listen carefully -
Search on "cover don't shut me down" - which of those do you like best?
ABBA and Queen are prolly the best bands ever...
The show ABBA VOYAGE in London si wwwooooowwwww
How can S.O.S not be on this list??
❤❤😊👍Großartig.
Its like getting a letter from the past…
I really don't appreciate Ashley the whole bingo comments, cuz Benny and Bjorn have been working their asses off Non-Stop since ABBA ended in 1982 and the girls haven't been too shabby either they've been dipping their toes in the musical Waters here and there so it's not like they just died they have been busy just not hugely busy like this is
40 year, not 20.😊
"Thank You For More Music" 🅰🅱🅱🅰
A REAL CULTURAL RESET 💕
😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️
Another good swedish band: Weeping Willow - Stairs.
so great music. It is a shame that they wasted their talent for nearly 40 years. a 10 year break is acceptable. what all could they have produced in 1995 2000, 2008, 20012, 20115 . ?
they have made music during those 40 years, just not all of them together as ABBA. individually they never stopped making music or singing.
It just wasn't meant to be...till now! 👏
this kind of an ignorant statement, their chemistry came from being 2 married couples being friends and have busload of fun doing it...when this fell apart they obviously could not keep up the vibe and ABBA would fall apart naturally...the fact that especially Agnetha said yes for doing 2 new songs is astonishing to say at least...my guess is that now cause of their age they all have a sense of mortality which often is accompanied by emotions like forgiveness and making peace with oneself and the world so I can imagne they did the 2 songs to close a circle but during the session the old bonds magically filled with new life and we now get the see (hear) the results of it.
Stockholm
Úgy látszik, hogy nemcsak engem fogott meg ez a szám, fuvolán megtanultam eljátszani.
They left 40 years ago
Not a patch on the stuff 45/46 years ago .ha ha obviously
