I have this cd for several years and purchased it specifically because it's Benny of ABBA, which obviously I've loved since I was 11 years old. This entire solo album by Benny is excellent....but seriously...when I first heard this song I said to myself this is absolutely an ABBA song...and could have been a huge hit single for ABBA clear out of the blue. I could absolutely envision Agnetha on lead. And in my mind I was really wishing it was ABBA...and I even thought it should have been re-recorded and saved for the Voyage album. But then I felt that really wouldn't have been right or fair to the singer that recorded the song for Benny's album. I cannot pronounce her name, and I'm not too familiar with her... and she's fantastic. She did such a beautiful job on this song....and it's really just perfect and gorgeous exactly as it is. And it really wouldn't have been right to take it away from her (so to speak) and have it be redone with Agnetha. It's a stunningly beautiful pop song with a lot of class. And the music...the production...the arrangement...all those rich and beautiful sounds and instruments...well, you know, that's definitely Benny's style. And I'm so very happy Benny and Bjorn continued making beautiful music even after ABBA initially retired. The album is really a very unique mix of sounds. "Story Of A Heart" would have definitely been the hit single....at least in Europe, where people have a little more class and better taste than here in the states (California) where I'm from and live. And I purchase this cd just about 4 or 5 years ago just on a whim....not ever having heard it or anything about it ever. I bought it because I was very curious to hear Benny's "solo" songs, and for sure it was right on the money! So, ABBA, or not, this song deserves attention and should absolutely be heard by everyone, especially all true ABBA fans. The singer is excellent and now I will look her up and give a listen to more of her songs. This album by Benny Andersson and his band is also titled "Story Of A Heart" and is dated as having come out in 2009! Amazed as hell how long it took me to discover it!!

Another Benny Andersson masterpiece (frankly… is there any Benny Andersson song that isn't?). I love this song. Structure similar to AꓭBA / Don't Shut Me Down in terms of the slower verse leading into the uptempo chorus. Also right up there with the lyrics by Björn Ulvaeus. Always great story telling. Had AꓭBA gotten back together earlier to record a new album, this could have easily been a great AꓭBA song. Steps covered this song (and I think did a pretty good job of it too). kzbin.info/www/bejne/r326e3Zsgp6fadk

Som jag nämnt förut så bör du kika på när BAO och Laleh sjunger Against All Odds i På Spåret och även låten med BAO - En natt i köpenhamn med Helen S och Tommy K i högform. Hoppas huvudvärken släpper och ser fram mot mer ABBA och BAO framåt :)

Hello David, unmistakably Abbaesque...Helene has a bueatiful voice and l could hear faint echoes of Abba songs within this composition as well. I could easily hear Agnetha singing this...And yes, l agree! A musical vibe to it. But, then again, no surprise! Loved it! Mmmmm...🤔 A Tommyfied version? That would be awesome! The guitar solo would be amazing! Thankyou David! Ciao bello! Take care ok? 🤗❤🦋

I suppose you would call BAO music "Schlager". If so it is BENNY's schlager - often with Björn's lyrics. There are several gems in the concerts especially from Helen Sjöholm and Tommy Körberg. If people like ABBA they should definitely give BAO a listen. His instrumental music also has Benny's catchiness.

Hi GivenToe, Since you are Swedish, I highly recommend that you listen to the Swedish live version of this song (Sommaren du fick) from the summer of 2011 (now with about 817,000 views on KZbin; I am sure you can find the right version) with Helen and BAO (of course with Benny, Calle Moréaus and all the other great musicians) in a very tight version and with people dancing to it in the audience (Swedish Folkpark style). In the Swedish version, the lyrics really highlight Björn Ulvaeus' wordsmith masterclass and the classic ABBA thing of having happy music with some more dark content. You do not necessarily have to put your reaction up here on KZbin but I think you at least should listen to that version for your own pleasure.

I love it when you react to singers and bands we dont normally hear on your channel, GivenToe. In this case its an Abba-like song from Benny. It sounds good, but i immediately miss the double voice of Abba which would make the song better. The woman sings good but not as good as Agnetha and Frida togetherrrrrr, and could anyone? Dont think so, Abbaman. Nevertheless i liked it, thanks for your video.🎉

There is also a Swedish version of this song, entitled "Sommaren du fick", which sounds a bit more interesting, though English version is great too. Thank you for reacting not only to ABBA, but also to their side- and post-ABBA projects, what is no less interesting, than all they created as a group.

Helen is a jewel of an artist, I noticed youve never heard of her before, she worked in Kristina musical by Benny & Björn , and there's a song I believe u must listen to one day. I think you`ll have no regrets - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2PMlYl_bJiUn9U - Du måste finnas [ this is the best version IMO ] .. maybe you`ve heard it before. Thie piece of music sounds like a gift from heaven, and is something Tommy could cover SO WELL - I really hope he will do! - There's an english version too [ You Have To Be There - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGK9eqaap9GrpLs ], but there's no way, swedish version is sooooooooooooooooo deep and genuine with deep powerful vocals filled with emotions of anger, despair and hope.
