My eldest daughter is 49 years old and this still gets me every time...💔 Beautiful song 😢😢❤️🌹

[@iangrice329]

Perfect harmony, no auto tune, no ear pieces. Pure unadulterated talent and one of the most moving songs ever.

[@alexioverdo5225]

Agnetha ending the song almost wet-eyed...Just goosebumps.

[@oniebaloney]

i played this beautiful song at my daughter Aleisha's funeral, she passed suddenly at 17 years, i miss her every minute of each day

[@lh7979]

So sorry to hear! ❤

[@markbaker2826]

Made me cry ! My Daughter is a mental Health nurse now, but when her mum and i split she held us all together with her two brothers !

[@TheMarcHicks]

I don't even have any children, and this song still hits me incredibly hard!!!

[@deborahdennehy9937]

It is so sad when you see your daughter leave home, to enjoy her own life, not always but so wonderful that I see her a lot. Thinking of you my love. 💝💝

[@DC-vv5ii]

I don't have kids, yet this song even makes me pause and reflect.

[@cf6965]

Beautiful song !

[@lenaengell8528]

Sweden, Sweden, Sweden, what talents you create! What is it with this little country in the North? Answer: one of their treasures is / has been that they have a natural aptitude for singing and for music in general. It is in their genes. See for example "allsång på Skansen", Stockholm, where they meet and sing together once a week in the summertime. And their people's soul goes very, very deep. ABBA was one of the very first artists to be known outside of Scandinavia. A big hug from Norway, neighbour of Sweden.

[@NasaBalli]

Yes, Sweden has unimaginable and incredibly many talents. Admirable from such a small country!

[@vittoriomarco1233]

It did not chart, but the song, Agnetha’s voice, and their writing talent charted in our lives so much, we can still have goosebumps when we hear any of their songs.

[@Heaven-im5kl]

I love ABBA when they harmonize. Love the song. Agnetha's voice in this was beautiful. You are a great Father to your daughter. I know this had to have hurt a bit. God bless you and your daughter.

[@highland1997]

ABBA are a phenomenal group, from the harmonies, arrangements, production and playing. Completely relate to this, they have a knack of writing to the heart and sole of their audience, we will never see the likes again.

[@janejohnstone5795]

Brings tears to my eyes...they grow up quickly..

[@danfrost3043]

I'm surprised they released "Head Over Heels" as a single instead of this far superior song. I guess we'll never know why.

[@NasaBalli]

One of my favourite ABBA songs. Incredible. Never get tired listening to it!

[@georgesams4936]

My daughter is 30 and she did slip through my fingers.

[@janejohnstone5795]

Yes...loved them always ,then and now..beautiful memories and songs...

[@carolynsanders3185]

Agnetha! What a beautiful voice, something about your voice pierces my heart. It really is angelic ❤❤

[@brittahlander1043]

All parents can relate to this song I believe😊 Cried first time I heard it.

[@andrewjenkinson7052]

Not just parents. It reduces this 78 year old man to tears EVERY TIME!

[@garyvandecar2580]

Agnetha singing a beautiful tribute to her Daughter Linda who was rgowing up fast right before her very eyes.

[@eduardooscar309]

Another comments ... I think that you know that ABBA comes back after 40 years with a new album Voyage released in last November 2021 that is a worldwide success Now in 2021/2022 You could listen and react the new songs "I still have faith in You" have an official video, it's a ballad with a story about Themselves "Don't shut me down" is a masterpiece uptempo song like 40 years before And in the rest of the songs the ladies Agnetha & Frida still looks amazing and fantastic singing at your 70s years now My best regards to You GOD bless you and your daughter, I'm so glad with your emotional reaction and your feeling as a father

[@nirmalsuki]

The first time I heard this song (although I have been an ABBA fan since I was a mere toddler in the early 80s) was in the movie Mamma Mia. It was 11 years before I became a father, but I was crying my eyes out in the cinema next to my perplexed girlfriend (now wife of almost 15 years). I told her I always wanted a daughter... My daughter was born in 2019. I don't even listen to this song when driving, because my eyes seem to leak as soon as Agnetha says "Schoolbag in hand..."

[@bigcahuna42366]

It's such a shame that this song didn't get much recognition and praise when it was released in '81. If it was written earlier and placed on an earlier album during Abba's heyday instead of their struggling years of the 80s, I'm sure it would have charted much higher on Billboard. But I understand, it was actually written about Bjorn and Agnetha's daughter Linda when she was about 8 years old.

[@tconnolly9820]

I didn't know this was a single?

[@KCoda1248]

ABBA never disappoints. You can’t watch the two Mama Mia movies until you’ve reacted to many more songs because the storylines are written around the sounds. This is a very pretty song.

[@NasaBalli]

No, ABBA never disappoints!

[@carolespinoza8469]

Sweetie,. I had it in my mind that these words would go straight to your heart 💞. Beautiful. Words & music by Abba.💔💔

[@erikskifte8862]

AGNETHA IS THE MASTER OF SINGING, WITH SUCH RAW AND NAKED VOCALS. TRY OUT THE LATEST, FROM ABBA VOYAGE: I CAN BE THAT WOMAN. SOOOO EMOTIONAL 😘😘😘😘

[@lenaengell8528]

ABBAs songs are full of catchy and happy melodies; you get in such a good mood when you listen to ABBA. Their music pick you up when you are down or in a depression. Make you want to dance and celebrate being alive. The music is effortless, and yet so complex in all their different layers. In my opinion, Benny Andersson is one of the very best composers of our time. When you really and fully understand the text of ABBA songs, you will be amazed of the depth in the lyrics and the phenomenal insights in the challenges of being human. This ability allows us to easily identify with the lyrics. I do not know of any other group that can captivate me and enchant me like ABBA. Their music and lyrics are magical. Neither do I know of any other group that can evoke as many different and genuine emotions and feelings in me as ABBA do. This is a rare talent that ABBA have in abundance. I go as far as to say that this talent makes their music and lyrics a real healing on a very deep, unconscious level. So, in these very turbulent, chaotic and uncertain times, ABBA has a HUGE mission. Love from Lena

[@stephaniebuie2750]

I can imagine these lyrics hitting you hard. Beautiful song. Has to be the most rewarding yet challenging thing to be a single dad. I’m sure your daughter is truly blessed to have been raised by you. You’re a wonderful man Chad!

[@lh7979]

Wow! Agnetha! Goosebumps..

[@helenpreisig6617]

I completely understand hon - I have 3 daughters 15, 18 and 20 years. Love them completely and life continues on with them growing up and finding their own way and place in the world - it’s a very important journey. I do look back with fondness and a lot of sentimentality but it is an important part of life and experiences and in the end you want them to live their lives to the fullest and have also their own life experiences. Still hard man sometimes ... if you could only turn back the clock sometimes?! 🥰💕

[@Flatwoodsdad]

Thanks for the ABBA. Yeah it's an often overlooked little masterpiece. Born wrote it about his an Agneth's 7yo daughter Linda. Their separation then divorce sure brought out some great songs. And because the lyrics were so personal and real Agnetha pulls them off like no one else could. I think these "Dick Cavett meets ABBA" little mini concert clips are just amazing. It's just them, their session guy's and a few backup singers pulling it all off perfectly. Amazing amount of talent on that little stage.

[@Petlover10000]

This song was performed in 1982, 40 years ago and nobody paid any attention until now.

[@kristianmapage9742]

No, no, not exactly, not the millions of English people in front of their television screens, a record audience at the time in the United Kingdom and millions of fans of the band around the world.

[@ellapere7599]

Great live song. Great reaction Chad, especially towards your own daughter ❤

[@miriamkirk7293]

A very emotional song that resonates with most parents I think. Letting them go is always hard. Love this song. Love Abba, thanks Chad.

[@lizabetharmenta9297]

Watching you hold back made me tear up...You are both blessed to have each other and I am sure that the way you have raised her is a tremendous part of the beautiful young lady she is becoming. You are ONE IN A MILLION Chad! 🙏🥰❤ Thank you for sharing with us. May God continue to bless you both as a man and father.

[@doobiewonkanooby]

I’m right there with you man. I have two daughters. I cry every time I hear this song. It makes me feel like this song is about a daughter as much as Cats in the Cradle is about the son. Another thing, everyone assumes that the lady singing (Agnetha) wrote this song about her daughter….but it was actually written by the dad - Agnetha’s husband - Bjorn Ulvaeus. Those lyrics are so relatable as a dad to a little girl…especially “the feeling of guilt you just can’t deny.” We do a lot for our young girls but we could always spend more time with them. Good review man. 👍

[@kristianmapage9742]

Your words are as touching for their veracity, as the interpretation of this story/song, so human, banal of the people.

[@wisconsindoc3869]

Beautiful reaction. Thank you for sharing your deep feelings for your daughter with us. You are a wonderful person, Chad. Your daughter is lucky to have your support, guidance, and love.

[@demonhoopa]

I loved this song when it came out in my teens, even though I was a heavy metal musician. The superior composition was just impossible to ignore. However, upon watching this reaction, I’ve discovered that now as a man who raised three girls to adulthood (37, 30 and 28) the younger two of which were married in august and December…..I can’t get through this song any more. Thanks bro for vaporizing my man card lol

[@aperinich]

it's full on hey!

[@popdefender460]

Thanks for reacting to this song and exposing it to the group Chad. It's such a moving and melodic masterpiece.

[@ingvarjensen1088]

That was emotional, but I'm also in tears every time I listen to this song ❤️

[@janejohnstone5795]

This is about a classy ...lady..

[@zed9042]

Very sentimental song

[@marcoengelbracht4141]

Being a single Dad myself, only for half a year now, I can understand your feelings. But this song related to me, for whatever reason, already decades ago, when I was young myself. Not much older than my daughter is now (15). Well, this was maybe because of my parents divorce, but in general it was because of these beautiful voices and the great music. The understanding of the content came later.

[@disenchantedwanderer9033]

ABBA, one of the best bands in history, no mistake. Their voices and the harmony. Their lyrics are stories. Amd the composition is superb bar none. This song, is almost a lullaby. Beautiful. Kudos to you. All the best.

[@Scuderia_Fan]

What a beautiful song...

[@thanksamill]

Meryl Streep singing this in the Mamma Mia movie breaks my heart. Oh the guilt!!!💔🎶

[@tomrinehart3022]

As a parent, this song touches me every time I hear it! Love ABBA

[@riaanbehr7976]

This is such a gem. The visitors album has many of them! Could you please react to Move on by Abba? It's my all time fave by them 👌

[@davesaulnier232]

Been on your shoes to bro I was single dad to three daughters and a son all grown up now but I feel you and respect you it takes a great man to do what your doing nothing more important then our children

[@paulecrosby2006]

Stunningly beautiful ♥

[@lafony]

Abba! Finally!

[@mervinmannas7671]

Never seen this version so thank you. So great it was live and not just mimed. ABBA would always try to sing live if possible but sometimes constrained by the show etc they were appearing on. Agnetha (you said it perfectly BTW) sings this just a bit higher in her range than on the studio version but yet Anni-Frids metz saprano still comes in at the perfect pitch to match it.

[@Alex22.22]

You pronounced all of their names just right 👍 💛💙from Sweden

[@Old-Mango]

This song always brings a joyful tear to my eye, great reaction. I wish you and your daughter the very best, much love.

[@wawa2]

AWESOME review! You've done 2 Agnetha solos now, makes sure to check out Frida's amazing contributions to ABBA with Fernando, Knowing Me, Knowing You, When All Is Said and Done, The Visitors and MANY more... also, good ones where they sing together are Eagle, Waterloo, The Name of the Game, Summer Night City!!

[@Squad61]

Andante Andante !

[@hermanschroder3822]

Great reaction Chad. As a father of three daughters I can really relate to this one. By the way Benny and Bjorn co wrote the musical 'Chess' with Tim Rice and then did their own musical masterpiece called 'Kristina von Duvamala which later became the movie Kristina. The musical score is fantastic. There's no end to the creativity of these two geniuses. Cheers. Herman.

[@janemimoza]

Best wishes for your daughter's recovery and Happy Thanksgiving!

[@gerardbryant4840]

I've always preferred their later music.

[@eduardooscar309]

What a great pleasure! You did an emotional reaction today And of ABBA songs most emotionals "Slipping through my fingers" (1981) is in my opinion the most testimonial and experiential song by ABBA This lyrics are very deep, about the growth of a son and how those moments of time go by day by day the guitarist Björn writes it about her 7/8 year old daughter and her mother Agnetha sings it with specialy feeling of mother Sometimes it is related to "The winner takes it all", because it has as protagonists Björn and Agnetha too But there are differences between the two stories: 1) that is the figurative story about a divorce (although probably with parts of the reality that Agnetha and Björn lived), but this is a story inspired by the daily lives of parents another difference with 2) this does not arouse the morbidity of the leading couple, it is an intimate story of parents and children that generates tenderness and nostalgia 3) perhaps this one does not have the usual catchy refrains of ABBA or a powerful melody like that, here its melody is soft, cared for and intimate, it accompanies without invading the wonderful emotional interpretation of Agnetha, that always shines much more when the song asks to express the feelings In short, it's a beautiful song by melody and interpreter lyrics, it touches the most intimate fibers of emotion and nostalgia, it's in my Top 20 of all ABBA songs

[@78Musi]

You should listen to the winner takes it all ABBA

[@DianaJG8]

LOL! I wouldn't even TRY their names, Chad! 😁

[@susieq9801]

Time DOES slip through our fingers. Those who let it slip away until "tomorrow" or "later" can never get it back. One secret of life is to make every minute count and when your own time runs out, to have no regrets. Nobody should regret things they did but the things they didn't do. Chad, I requested another song "Monsters" by James Blunt which is about that very thing, not having regrets and saying what we mean to those we love while we still can. I hope you can react to that too. That one really hit me and I think it hits everyone. Like this song, it conveys a universal human theme. "Pop" like ABBA is used almost like a dirty word to some people but these singers and songs will endure long after the flashy stuff is gone.

[@mattigolx2532]

A new follower here. Great reaction from you and you seems to be a great father/person. I also love ABBA and hopefully you continue react to their amazing songs. This song is one of my favourites with ABBA. Greetings from sweden.

[@fuz4623]

There it is, the pause as you gather yourself. No shame, my hero Tom Brady does it all the time in interviews. I just cry silently, but unashamed. I saw the cut! Want to know how long it took to get back!

[@joelvaldez5577]

I am a single parent. I have the privilege to have my daughter since she was 6. We have our challenges, having to provide for her and trying to be there for her. As she is grows up there must be some hormonal transition in her that at times there are some misunderstandings between us. But I'll never exchange her for anything and for anyone. I am grateful for every moment I have with her. I know that at a later point of her life, she will have her own. But i will stay in the shadows and will always watch her and ready to catch her.

[@thomascleo]

OMG I got really emotional here,,, This is soo cute and Sweet,,,,,,,LOVE FROM SWEDEN❤❤❤

[@thomascleo]

Where do you come from,,? I must say you are very Handsome Man❤

[@denisehedden5108]

🥀I don't know how you become a Daddy alone with your baby girl but your a wonderful person in my eyes just watching you talk about her I'm sure she love's you too. Me and my Dad were so close and we went fishing together all the memories I love him and miss him but not his pain cancer took him out in 91 he was 62yrs old. My Mama still loved him lost her & my 28yr old Son was murdered by his girlfriend in 2015 her 2nd victims we didn't know she was crazy. But you are amazing being able to express your self on here make's you a better Man because to me not all Men are so much on being far from showing their true feelings. You have a huge heart don't ever let anyone tell you any different. God Bless you and Stay Gold🥀☝️🥀

What a special song by ANB

I’m really big fan of ABBA, I’m came from Ukraine 1991, first time I heard the song In our car going to airport I was shocked

[@rikimarutetsu2491]

🥺🌹🥺

[@annelisundkvist]

Great reaction! 40 years later, ABBA made a sequel (lyric-wise) to this track on their come-back/closure album 'Voyage'. Agnetha is singing lead in this one too and the track is called 'Keep An Eye On Dan'. Music-wise this song is the direct connection to their 1981 album 'The Visitors' (IMO). If you want to check the track out, there's a lyric video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn6Tf3ivj9l4mqc

[@chart6454]

Reaction earned a sub. Right there with ya, man.

[@nilsfearon1]

I notice that you watch a lot of Gibb brother videos. As a huge ABBA fan (check out Chiquitita btw) but look for the “Olivia!” Show with ABBA, Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton John. It’s quite remarkable

[@deborahhumphries974]

Thank you for ABBA. Have you seen Daniel Bonaventure?

Glad you reviewed this beautiful song, bu wish you had showed the much better HQ and stereo live version, available on You Tube. This one has terrible sound.

You should react to Trace Adkins - You’re gonna miss this.❤️❤️❤️

This live version isn't good. Listen the studio original version, it's better!
