Abba - The Winner Takes It All (Official Video) REACTION/REVIEW

[@williamgranero8239]

This got to be the most mature song about a breakup ever written. No hate, no regrets, no intentions to hold the person with you, just moving on with your life. It is a lesson for all

[@sorrystaunton]

You have to understand she was going through a divorce from one of the guys in the group and HE wrote this song....it’s a pretty amazing song....

[@Siansonea]

Agnetha and Bjorn were divorced, and I think Benny and Frida were already on the rocks as well. This was toward the end of ABBA as a group.

[@personalcheeses8073]

Robert Hoffman Both couples were breaking or had broke up so yes just like Fleetwood Mac. The relationship dynamics within the bands make for very creative music

Best breakup song ever written. Bjorn wrote it for Agneta after their divorce. She often stated it's her favourite song. Very simple in structure, but that's the genius of it. You actually inspired me to go through ABBA's entire catalogue again, and rank every song of theirs (97 in total). I'll post it on one of your future ABBA reactions when I'm done. Stay in that rabbit hole! :)

[@stephenvalente3296]

Think I recall reading a few months ago a hint that they both regretted having parted, but thankfully there doesn't seem to have been any speculation of them getting back together since Bjorn split from his current long term wife a few months back.

ABBA and BoneyM was the "modern" group, very in fashion, during my childhood (when I was 6). Even if we had been in the comunist "era" then (the 80's) în Romania, we knew ABBA and we danced in the clubs on their music. Now I am 47 and I still remember the "vibe", the rithm, the "taste" of those times!

[@Ciclopea2]

Agnetha was actually married to Bjorn and going through a divorce at the time, Frida was married to Benny Anderson, their separations ultimately brought the band's separation, this is one of their hits where they showed their more personal side, and it just became another classic.

[@herrfriberger5]

That did *not* brought the band's separation, i.e. according to themselves :) They even toured after both divorces. Basically, they just took a break for doing other stuff, like musicals and solo carriers, but never reunited as group (although they sometimes see each other private).

No one wrote sad songs with a disco beat better than ABBA! I really enjoy your reactions and love for music James, so glad I found you. One lesser known ABBA song you should check out is called The Visitors, it’s a different sound for them that came out just before they split and it’s about hiding from the East Berlin police (Cold War era), it has a fantastic chorus that I think you’ll love!

[@littleblackpistol]

The song is about the divorce between Agnetha, the blonde singer, and her husband Bjorn, who wrote this song. The pain in her eyes is for real. Agnetha was (is!) a sensitive, introverted woman who was terrified of flying and didn't want to commit to more world tours and instead stay home with her children in Sweden and these things put massive strain on the marriage and in the end, the band. Agnetha ended up living alone on a small island in Sweden for a number of years, very rich, but very lonely and isolated. She had a very strange relkationship with a weird stalker guy who somehow located her at her home and other strange happenings. She went through a very sad and lonely period in her life pos-ABBA. I think things eventually got better for her and she made some solo albums and appeared in public more though, but I think she is still very shy and a very sensitive person.

[@keithartworker]

The one thing about 70's songs is that they could peel away layers of sadness and serve it up. This is a pendulum swing from all the 50's feel good rock and roll songs. It was the decade in songs and tv.

[@KitKat-wt6ed]

They went from I do I do I do I do I do to the winner takes it all. Once Agnetha and Bjorn broke up, it was the start of the end for Abba. It broke all our hearts.

[@Halli50]

This song reflects the pain everyone suffers in a divorce, ESPECIALLY the children. In the case of Björn and Agneta, they apparently just matured in radically different directions, he wanted fame and recognition, she just wanted to be a mother that did not crave the limelight and did not want to be away from her children too much. A very common story of different goals and, really, there are no villains in a story like this, only victims...

[@brt5273]

Watching this band was so poignant because we knew the story of their lives as they were living it through their music. Knowing what they were going through while still holding their band together and continuing to produce such incredible music made for a powerful, sad, beautiful experience. They had just started working on a new album and all the fans were looking forward to it, when they finally decided they just couldn't do it anymore. It was an incredible heartbreak for all of us.

[@bpfromowc]

Her husband Bjorn (guitarist & vocalist) wrote the song about him & Agnetha breaking up, then she had to sing it. 😐 By the way, you are 100% spot on about great music/musicians being suppressed by the music industry. They would rather promote their mind-control puppets to kids. So many great bands have split up in the past twenty years, it's as if they are not allowed to continue any more. It seems somebody has basically just told them to wrap it up, and those who try to continue usually end up dead. They are purposefully trying to kill music, it's a gateway to the soul. Great channel btw.

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

Abba were my first band ever, from when I was a tiny thing, and her voice still gives me chills. Your chat about music these days - you're not looking in the right place dude. Don't expect commercial radio to give a voice to non chart acts, it doesn't happen. Tune into BBC Radio 6 Music, it is available globally online. TONS of new music from every genre - and I mean every genre. From punk to metal to hip hop to rap to jazz to r'n'b to pop to modern classical, to dance and electro beat- flavours of everything, from all around the world. A lot of UK stuff obv, but also a lot of acts from the US and Canada, Europe, Australia, loads of phenomenal African music, old and new. And NO ADVERTS!!! Just exceeding knowledgeable DJs and a shit ton of excellent music, loads of it new but plenty old classics in there too. Highly recommend!

Yes, in my day, music was a much bigger part of our lives, and was a source of enjoyment, feeling upbeat, happy, motivated, and just a general positive experience. Today's music is the complete opposite. I am so glad you recognize this and talk about it. I enjoy your videos very much.

Thank you for reacting to this song. This is my favorite song of theirs (of the ones I've heard), and now that I know you'll be going through their catalog, I'll hold off on listening to the ones I haven't heard, so I can experience them with you (metaphorically). Hope that you are doing well, my friend!

Agnetha / Bjorn, _and_ Benny / Anni-Frid.. first met in 1969. // They were independent artists, and each couple married 1978. // Thats _REAL_ Emotion, because Agnetha and Bjorn were considering separation at the time. ABBA group disbanded in 1982. Last public performance 1986.

I love the fact that you talk about the impact music has to the generation hearing it. I am nearly 60 yrs old and not the one who claims in former days everything was better. But I have to say music definitely was. I lived in a world where music were more or less handmade, with notes on paper and acoustic instruments! there was a lot of crap in these times too but find today such genius making music touching generations. They are there too, but you really have too look for it.

Living the ABBA fest

Even more addictive when you have a real liking for Agnetha Fältskog (blonde haired female singer). It's not really surprising that she has many male admirers across the world as she's is one of the most beautiful and almost perfect female singers of her time.

ABBA a great band!! A force to be reckoned with. Such a heartbreaking and yet a beautiful song. The singer and guitar player were going through a divorce @ the time. That is why she looked upset and unhappy!🥰👏

Really good insights on a really sad situation, JB. All four members of ABBA are really talented, and this might be their best song. The blonde singer, Agnethea, was married to the guitarist, Bjorn. I believe Bjorn wrote all the lyrics for all their songs. He really outdid himself on this one. Really tugs at the heart.

Love this review. Glad to see people discover them. When I was little, being Swedish, I danced to live local folkmusic at midsummer.. to a folk band where some of Abba actually is in the band.
