- ABBA - Don't shut me down | REACTION (First time hearing) is my very first reaction to the new song from 2021.
Im gonna be honest and say, it was hard to keep the tears back. This was an emotional ride. I am SO impressed by ABBA and this was a fantastic piece of music, that I could never expect.
ABBA is reunited, and this is their thank you card to the fans, and a heads up of what the future will bring.
I have NEVER been sad and happy at the same time listening to a song. Its an incredible feeling that no other band has achieved.
Strap yourself into the DeLorean time machine, because you are about to be thrown back straight to the 1970s!
This is a historical moment in the history of music. A moment, many thought would NEVER come, but it did!
ABBA is one of the most famous bands in history, and here they are again. They will perform a pre recorded LIVE show in London, in an arena, built only for that purpose, where all ABBA members have done the motion capture for the performance, for 5 weeks, and then been de-aged to look like its 1979 again!
THANK YOU for watching my videos! It makes me so happy!

This song in particular is everything you could ever want in an Abba comeback. It's just perfect! What a gift.
I agree 100% :D:D:D
Yes agree total gift.
💯 it’s unbelievable
Yes, what a gift. Incredible!!!
They are back!!!!!!!
Oh for God's sake! I'm a 58 year old man and this made me cry. I freaking love ABBA!!!!
Its hard not to show emotion when it comes to this! I feel you 🙏🏻❤️
58 years is not old. You can do wonderful things
at over 70 🎤
I am 59,and feel the same...
Yes I am 57 and the raw emotions are unbelievable.
I'm 58 and know the feeling
My first EVER concert was ABBA. October 3, 1979, Boston Music Hall...I hear NO DIFFERENCE between then and now. ABBA RULES!
Abba is the greatest ever.
It’s an instant ABBA classic… it wouldn’t be out of place if it suddenly played in the middle of ABBA Gold. 🙌🏼
VERY true! 😃
Been humming this song since I heard it!
✌️👌🏻
Agreed - I've listened repeatedly and it's as if they picked up right where they left off. Amazing.
So so true. But Abbas album tracks were as good as their singles ..some better
I’m a 59 year old type A male that looks like a biker and this song and their reunion had me balling like a baby. It takes me back to the 70s with my beloved parents. Miss you mom and dad. Thank you ABBA for the music over these many years. The world truly does need you now more than ever!
Aww, that is understandable! Memories takes us far, both back and what to come. Thank you for sharing that 🙏🏻
Dear Rocker Downs, where do I begin, my Italian dad was a jazz snob, especially latin jazz. Then the 70's
brought us ABBA. My dad instantly fell in love with ABBA and the gorgeous Swedish Agnetha and Frida.
When driving in the family car if an ABBA song came on the radio up went the volume so loud that my
mom would just roll her eyes. Oh the memories, miss you dad. I wish you were here to see this. Yeah ABBA!
Top man.
[59 also - going on 17... again! I never thought I'd heard them again and still cant quite get over it... wonderful]
I am 58 and I just CANNOT believe what ABBA has done here. As I get older this type of music makes me emotional but this album I have to listen privately. Most music I constantly play it I get sort of bored with it but NOT this. ABBA is so incredible they should be in the hall of fame if not already there. LOVE YOU ABBA. In my mind you have done your best song EVER on this album. Tickets booked two months ago. Really looking forward to it.
So many times when bands get back together, they're a shadow of who they were at their peak and it's really more about nostalgia than whether or not they still have it. ABBA is *NOT* one of those bands. This album is ABBA, 100% as good as they were 40 years ago. It's bittersweet because it's great to have new music but it also means we've lost 40 years of music that could have been.
ABBA is the single greatest band of all time.
Yup. It got to this 61 year old the same way. And, damn it, it's got tears going again.
I’m 60 years old, and ABBA were my group when I was at school. I had exactly the same reaction, tears of joy to hear them sing again. Two days on I still tear up when I play this song. It’s unmistakably ABBA, and who would have thought they would give us new songs after all these years. It’s fine to cry, music creates such strong emotions - thank you for sharing on camera exactly what so many of us are feeling right now ❤️
So much has been runnning through my mind these last few days... I can't even manage to know what I want to say or express. I've been listening to this one specially continuously... even on my mind (when I can't play it). I didn't know what to expect. I was a youngster when they split and it's been almost forty years, but suddenly when the song started playing, it was like those forty years disappeared. I felt so at home and at the right time... I felt like "One of Us" was just a week ago... I was shocked and pleased and happy and sad and everything at the same time. Abba was back Really? Had they been away?
So it's been a rollercoaster of feeling... and so much crying. Memories of loved ones and sheer enjoyment. My brother who was also a fan died early this year (COVID related) and I know he would have loved this so much... I'm crying now again. So sad he didn't manage to see this... So It's been really, really, really hard for me this "voyage" back and forth in time.
They're absolutely awesome... And this song is what I was exactly hoping for... The voice of Agnetta is just incredible, Frida is also incredible... I don't know. My mind is just overwhelmed with thoughts and feelings and happiness.
Thank YOU! ❤️
I am very very sorry for your loss 🥺 I understand its an emotional rollercoaster. Sherish his memory while listening to this song, and he will hear you. Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏🏻
@@GivenToe I'm really thankful to you. I loved you're reaction. I have truly understood how it felt for you. You are too young to have been waiting for so long for them to come back (I must confess I thought it would never happen...) so it's really nice to see that new generations share our love for them.
Thought it's been sad, it's also brought back so many good memories of my brother and I knew we could have been talking for hours about this. Laughing, crying and all at the same time, just as you said.
Yep a m a z I n g , had to pinch myself what talent.
Agnetha's voice is like a kind grandmother telling you an old beautiful story while stroking your head while you lay down.
I cried when I heard it........40 years waiting.....all emotions are coming out.
ABBA THE LEGEND!!!!!Welcome back ABBA....Welcome back Sweden!!!Greece loves you!!!!
I'm especially thrilled, with that magical 3rd voice, that only exists when Agneta and Frida sings together!
They still have the magic!
❤👍
YES! I have spent almost my entire life fascinated by that "third voice" effect that only happens when Agnetha and Frida harmonize... there's basically nothing else like that sound in the world. It's this amazingly fortuitous combination of two voices that are the perfect compliment to one another, somehow, with both singers having flawless solo voices with seemingly limitless ranges meeting in the middle to conjure something perfect together.
Yes, that is truly special 😍🥺
AMEN to that!
@@houseofsledge6891 the Third Voice -- yes. And it knocks me for six on the second chorus of Don't Shut Me Down. My god... I never realised until this week how I have missed that!
I never thought of it that way, but that describes it perfectly!!!
I'm old enough to have owned original ABBA on VINYL and honestly the reactions of YOUNG people, people too young to have any memory of the original ABBA, are making me laugh and cry with joy. I can't believe they're back but dear GOD, I am grateful.
Eternal and all-embracing perfection. Youthful and mature at the same time -- and unmistakable.
happy or sad - ABBA's songs are always beautiful.
Your reaction was just like millions of others, I think. It was a pleasure to watch. We all cried, and for so many reasons.
That means a LOT to me! Thank you ❤️🥺
@@GivenToe i feel with you
Yes, this is so emotional, it make us cry!!!
Yes crying too.
@@GivenToe i am crying too😭
We're living a nightmare here in Brazil, this song came like a blessing from heaven for me. I cry every time I listen to this. It's like a travel to a paralel universe where love still exists
I agree with you. In this difficult time, Music in the stream now a days are crappy and trash but now, abba made a big comeback and it will change our lonely heart into a fascinated one. Viva Abba!!! welcome back to your magical voice and wonderful music!!
Thats so sad to hear 🥺 Ive read the news about Brazip and its sad to hear. But I am happy that this could brighten your day ❤️🙏🏻
I hear you 🙏🏻
All the best to Brazil and you Gustavo. Love exists.
In so many people.But she is often hidden.
And music brings them to light. Especially the
music of ABBA. Thats way i‘m grateful for
the reunion of ABBA. They making the world
a little better. Greatings from Vienna.
Thank you, guys, for your kind words
Welcome Back ABBA...Definitely you are back..the voice of the 2 ladies are still superb...pitch perfect..when the two voice blends...It is MAGIC...☺️🤗😁🤩💛💙💖 MY Favorite ecer since Dancing Queen and Abba Arrival Album..then the rest is history...I like and love and follwed them till today...Wonderful...You made us your Fans Worldwide very very Happy...God Bless you More ABBA...💛💙💖#ABBAforevermoreEternity
#WelcomeBackABBA
#ABBAisBack
Pure joy, I love it 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
there will never ever be another band like ABBA... so enjoy the journey... due to age there will be silence on day
They are uniqe. Yeah, enjoy it for as long as possible 🙏🏻
The lead ,Agnetha Falskog ,is 71 years old but still with her amazing Pitch Perfect perfect Pitch along with an astounding range of B2 - F7.and NO auto tuning.
After months I'm still speechless. I keep on listening and crying every time again and again. I play piano together with them and I can't stop doing this again and again. This is not music, it's drug. God bless them all.
We all got to relive our youth when ABBA put out the new tunes!
I am crying every time i hear this song
I screamed and cried. I’m 56 years old and I feel like I did when I played the ABBA records when I was a teenager . So so happy x
Such an amazing feeling. Thank you for commenting! 🙏🏻❤️
My reaction was very much the same! I grew up on their music!
..and you make me happy! I feel the same.
56 here too, and feel the same. I can't listen without blubbing like a baby. It's like old friends have come back.
56 here too. Growing up in Europe, Abba was the Hymn of an entire generation. If not 2.
It's not easy to make me cry, but when I heard this for the first time last Thursday I welled up. I didn't really expect to hear the girls sing as though it's 1980 again. Frida's voice harmonising with Agnetha's is just trademark AꓭBA...
I hear you! Its magical!
Todo el mundo, hombres y mujeres, han llorado escuchando esta canción
I am 67 today and looking back (40 years ago) it blows me away again to hear this a typical ABBA sound. A sound that has shaped my / our youth. Yes ! Even over 70zig years can make music that captivates you.
The sight of them in the studio, OMG. Why am I crying?
I have a theory. We are now living in sensory overload brought about by the internet and digital tech. Everything is complicated and intense. ABBA’s music let’s the brain decompress and return to simple ideas and notions that are linear and digestible without choking. It lets us go on a journey without the drama and multiplicity. For anyone who is battered by short attention spans and 1 minute immediacies, this is a vacation.
Very interesting theory! Thanks for sharing that!
ABBA is & will Alwayz B perfection!
Im 58 and feel 18 again!!!!it is real music..havent been this in love since the80s..nothing in the ladt 35 years gets near this feeling so good but so sad at the same time..god bless you..and abba
God bless you too! =)
Abba Universal music ...
In Germany, ABBA sold in only one week over 200.000 times the album Voyage" - that was more than the rest of the 99 other albums of the German Top 100 together (!)
I'm 23 years old and grew up with music that is far from what the 70s had. However, no musical groups or acts have given me the kind of magic ABBA did. Four decades after their prime, I still consider myself so lucky to exist at the same time as these legendary artists!
Well, this reaction represents me 100% the first time I heard it. I cried all over again
I remember as a kid back in 1974 Abba won the Eurovision Song Contest for Sweden I saw them walking around my hometown. I love this music
Amazing memory 🙏🏻😁
This made me ultra-weepy and ebullient at the same time. A perfect song. ABBA meant so much to me during my teen years - this felt like reuniting with a long-lost friend. What a lovely gift.
Even if you're not an ABBA fan, subscribe to this man... He is an old soul; A kind genuine man who will warm your heart and put a smile on your face. X
This is the best pop song I ve listened in the last 20 years.
Agree
There is NO substitute for good song writing. And their voices have withstood the test of time. Thank God!!
Just when the world needed them the most, ABBA reunited and brought joy to so many people's lives. I listen to this album every day and never get tired of their music. All I can say is thank you ABBA for the music
🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🌹
@@GivenToe I was in tears when I first heard this song during their live broadcast to the world that they were officially back together and realising a brand new album. I never ever thought I would get to see them back together. I am so grateful to have witnessed this amazing comeback. I also can't get over the fact that Agnetha still sounds the same. Truly blessed
Best ABBA song ever ! What a gift !
Love it!
Its a fantastic instant classic. Like they never left!!
ABBA, we will never ever shut you down. Lots of love from Mike. Fan since 1972.
Impossible not to cry, every time.
Yeah kind of, totally understandable. Thanks for that comment!
I was stunned when I heard their voices. They sound exactly like they did 40 years ago. And their sound is still there. It's classic ABBA. The never disappoint!
I'm 30. Of course I knew their most popular songs, but never really followed ABBA... until now. Today ABBA have one more fan. It's incredible what they just did. I cried with this song and I don't even know why. It's unreal. I wish I had lived in the 70s. BRAVO.
Its an amazing feeling isnt it? 😍🙏🏻
a young man cries after listening to this song, what about us who have been waiting for this for forty years
I feel you
That is Abba, so genius and brilliant music
There has to be something VERY special about this group when they can bring so many people to tears through the pure joy of their music.
Yeah its one of a kind 😱😍
easily the best song of the year. nothing can beat it
ABBA are the only group from my childhood who can come back with new songs and still be as good as they used to be.Its wonderful
I cried when they broke up, and now at 58 years young I am crying with JOY every time I listen to these 2 new songs. I can't wait until the album. I just hope that they know there are Dedicated ABBA fans in America. I know that we havent gave them a chance here. I LOVE THEM
Im sure ABBA knows that the USA loves them dearly, and I think ”they still have faith in you” 😉 🙏🏻
@@GivenToe Jag alskar dig GivenToe
Doesn’t it make you feel young again? I know I do. It’s just amazing.
Sure takes me back in time 🥺🙏🏻
America was never really big fans of ABBA .. Australia and Britain were where the albums and hits were popular. .. suppose there were a small pocket of fans , shame they didn’t show them the love then really. 🤷♀️🏴🇬🇧
A fantastic song! Knowing about ABBA, makes me appreciate that it's ABBA's magic visiting this era. And they really sing about themselves!
ABBA creates magic and they can only do it when they are together! Together they are gifted in a big way! Wow ABBA!
I was at work when I saw two new ABBA songs in the recommended videos... and when I listened to them I had to move my mask up a bit so that others wouldn't see me cry.
I am not ashamed to admit that even though I am already an old man, I could not help but cry when I heard this song. This is the best thing that has happened in a long time.
Get you every time dosent it ❤ Best band in the world ❤
The bass too; OMG, ABBA is back!
😀🎵🖐🎹🎹🎤❤🇨🇷😀😀
ABBA-Gods of music....
The World needs this real ABBA sound. Pure and full of emotions. What a great song ! Sorry I cried, but it is from happyness.
The women still sound incredible
I'm all in tears.
I really know what You're feeling 🎉
There are very few things worth waiting 40 years for......... This absolutely was. Filled with every classic Abba melody and hook. Could have been recorded in their heyday. Can you believe those voices are in their 70's...... stunning and beautiful. Im swimming on a nostalgia high now. I was 7 when they broke up, but I loved their music all my life. From when I was a teenager and they were very uncool they taught me all the emotions from love and regret, sadness to pure joy. Many people have commented the lyrics are about how they feel about each other, which is probably true, but in classic Abba style I believe they are also a direct message to their loyal fans, and I just want to say to you 4 beautiful humans.... Thank you for the music.
How can I love you so much when we have never met, The songs you sang me taught me how, and that I won't forget
Amazingly written! Thank you for sharing that! 🥺🙏🏻
I love both songs! They are all between 71 and 76 years old. Proud to be a Swede! It's a privilege listening to them and I am getting so emotional! Looking forward to November, 5th, when the album will be released! ❤🇸🇪🎶
Agnetha is only 71. Frida is 76 in November and also has a great sounding voice for her age. The video with Frida's avitar in made me cry (I'm 51 and remember them the first time)
Wow! 71 and 76. I am SO impressed! Flawless song and singing! Great memories, cherish them 🙏🏻
Just so you know, they are now called ”Abbatars”😆
Who sings the first and who sings the second verses?
These 2 songs were recorded in 2018 so they are a bit younger.
@@mgbchoralmusic6443 Ok, 68 and 73.
The "YOOUUUU...ask me not to leave" is sooooo ABBA! Not that everything that leads to THAT is not!
The loss of Abba for so long has been very difficult to have when your a huge fan then suddenly like a huge shock they come back an so much all at once it’s an emotional earthquake you can’t comprehend there sound it’s really them and they sound as they did 40 years ago it’s to much your emotions just brake down what other band or music has such power there is no words but only incredible inconceivable how they came back like a meteor bang it’s stunning we really needed this ABBA forever
The really emotional bit is where Frida joins Agnetha on the chorus and we get that true ABBA sound
When I heard this sing for the first time, it also gave me goose flesh. I got tears in my eyes. It made me happy to hear the typical ABBA sound. A bit of Dancing Queen (piano start); sound of The day before you came. A song you just can't sitt still and listen to. It makes me want to dance.
It's obvious the song is about their ABBAtar show. And the question, if they will be accepted by their fans.
Well, I accept them for sure and a big welcome to this winderful catchy song.
This ABBA song is masterpiece!!! 👍👌😀😱
The song a gift from ABBA to the entire wolrd after + 40 years. 12 points go to Sweden !. La Suède! Douze points!"
Grammy nominees for this song! Well deserved!
I had no idea, until last week, that voyage the latest cd by ABBA existed. As I listened to the songs for the first time, indeed, I was brought back to the 70s. My best friend and I absolutely adored Abba‘s music. I cried, because my friend died in 2006. The music, for me, still has the same appeal as it did back then.
Wow, what a lovely surprise then! Glad you enjoyed it! I understand, it raises a lot of feelings 🙏🏻Sorry for your loss!
Ain't it unbelievable?! There are 2 women over 70 and they show the world and all those young 'singers', how to lay emotions in songs that it goes right straight to the heart. Fantastic!
It's that magical 3rd voice that only exists when Agneta and Frida sings together !!
Flawless and timeless!!
Pure magic!!
💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙
I so agree there is nothing else to say, I cried when I heard this, God bless ABBA🇬🇧👏👏👏👏👏♥️♥️👏👏👏👏👏
❤️🔥🙏🏻
"I'm not the one you knew, I'm now and then combined.. and I'm asking you to have an open mind..." is actually them talking to us to accept the fact that this new ABBA has their mature voices of now combined with their young figures digitalized..... and I LOVE that!!! But what I love the most is that my absolute favorite band is back!!! And, yes, I'm 30 years old and never thought this would actually be possible and I cried like a baby listening to these two songs and I can't wait for the whole album.. I listen to them and love them since I was a kid because my parents are huge ABBA fans.. plus: they didn't change their sound.. they still sound like the ABBA we all love.. they're true to themselves and I'm really, really proud!!!!
Amazing story. Thank you for sharing that. Our parents influence us in different ways, that is one way =) Thankful is what I am. I cant wait either! Thanks for the comment! =)
ABBA are back, after listening to dont shut me down I can now die feeling happy, I grew up on abba music, doesnt matter what age you are or where your from you will never hear a group like abba, the music industry now days is total rubbish now watch them gaup in awe to the greatest pop group ever to grace our world, the old song I thank you for the music well there words are all for them to see
Thanks for sharing that 🔥🙏🏻🤗
Since 2ndSeptember I got struck by an emotional thunder! i feel the same way like you.And I am thinking ,dreaming of them almost 24hours a day.What a drug.8 days later and i still wipe tears each now and then. I dived into my past and remembered as a little child my heart beating faster whenever a new abba record was anounced to be realeased.Seems all us big fans were finally given this unimaginable, unbelievable gift.we all feel the same electric way.
I am soo happy they have released a new album! As a swede I am so proud! They are back, with a Big BANG!!!!
Don't worry my friend, tears came to my eyes when I heard this for the first time as well! ABBA is back to show the world how real music is made not like the absolute garbage that is produced today.
THEY'RE BACK!
I’m 52, and I cried when I heard this song the first time. For me it’s the best intro ever. This is what the world need right now.
I’ve seen the show…and what a show it is! 90 minutes of jaw dropping visuals, lighting and iconic music. I was not prepared for how good this show was and spent the first two numbers crying like a baby! It is incredible, it is emotional and it is extremely seamless. In my opinion it was well worth the high ticket price and I don’t think there is anything else that rivals this masterpiece. The sadness came when those 90, precious moments passed and you realised you weren’t in 1976 anymore. Thank you for the music, thank you for the memories and thank you for being ABBA
Amazing! 🙏🙏🙏
I’ve seen it, too! It’s wonderful!
This song goes directly from the ears into my heart
I’ve watched this video dozens of times, and i sob every single time.
The 4 fantastic. Abba is just organic, not à band, just something alive, à cell... I just understand it.
Agnetha is the youngest one of them and she's 71. Well, everyone who bought her last album "A" like 6 years ago knew, she still had a wonderful voice. It surely has aged, but we all have. It still has the power it used to have and that's all that counts.
This is my favourite song from voyage I loved this song as soon as I heard it. I can hear the emotion in Agnetha voice and when they sing together is incredible
I really don't know what else you could ask for in an ABBA comeback song !!!! As You say, it is REAL MUSIC from real people & instruments!!! You can understand the music,and the words !! Without 1 hint of racism or leftist sentiments!!! Just pure music that produces PURE JOY !!! If you liked ABBA before,this new music will make You fall in love with them all over again !! And Again !! And Again !!! As always, the production is just outstanding; how they join the voices & instruments in a symphony of sound & beat !!!! WONDERFUL !! I absolutely love this & "I still Have faith in you" is also just as remarkable !!! This comeback is like a Godsend to many of us who have benn waiting, & longing deep within our souls for the return of ABBA !!!!! It does create joy,happiness, at the same time is a sad memory of so many things left unfulfilled for many of us . It's so inspiring & uplifting! The music is to die for !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING chord progressions,bass strings ,playing as one with one intent & feeling. I can't think of enough terrific adjectives !! Can't wait for the whole album !!!
and LOOK at them! as a 65 year old, I'm EMPOWERED!
This track is devastatingly good. On every level, classic ABBA; the melodies, the lyric and, of course, those harmonies. This track will be regarded as one of their all time best. The emotion conveyed by that voice just bares the soul and leaves it at the mercy of the pathos. And it simply pierces the heart. Bravo. Bravo indeed. Brilliant.
Великая группа, на века!
Return to the ABBA seventies. Still great voice, sound, lyrics, music. Thanks Abba for this new music!
My friend i love your reation,i grow up to listening ABBA ,my late father was a huge fan of ABBA, and when i listen the new musics i cryed, and thinking how much my father will loved the new musics from ABBA, greetings from Portugal, sorry from my English my friend.
Your english is great! Thank you very much! Then honor his memory by listening more to it 🙏🏻 Thanks for the comment friend! 🔥😊
I'm 39. I didn't grow up with ABBA music per se, but I always liked it when I heard it. This song is remarkable. Lyrics and vocals are fantastic, but the composition is extraordinary to me. Timeless.
It really is remarkable! :D
This is REAL music.
I had this feeling TWENTY YEARS AGO!! when I heard last for me unknown thing - Dream World from ABBA. Never ever then.
Yeah it sure is! Melodic, and fantastic. Thanks for commenting! =)
Brilliant ABBA Thank you
"It would be fair to say, you look bewildered"
*looks bewildered*
I still have goosebumps every time I hear the second chorus ! I loved the comment of the Swedish journalist during the live stream : "When you hear ABBA's melodies you want to laugh, dance and cry at the same time" : that sums up their music and how I feel every time I listen to them so well ! So thrilled about this comeback ! ❤️
Yeah I got chills listening to it, its almost magical what their songs do. Strange and wonderful at the same time 😅😍
@@GivenToe Yeah ! It's ABBA's magic ! ✨ Greetings from France ! 👋🏼🇫🇷
