ABBA | Knowing Me, Knowing You | (EMOTIONAL RESPONSE) First Time Reaction | Official Video

[@TomLaios]

Two of the most beautiful women ever, with voices to match.

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

One of the best popsongs ever. Released 45 years ago. A sensation back then, still a sensation. Ahaaaa.

[@swedeman5785]

4:15,this Ahaa-business,only Bjöm & Benny has the answer..

[@janejohnstone5795]

Powerful music...when it gets to you...you know it's 👍 good..

[@Sweep_The_Leg_Johnny]

the look on Benny's face after the hug...i've been there & felt THAT! It's not malice, it's regret. it's shame. it's raw emotion, but it's also love & determination to put one foot in front of the other & start over. And that bass...the iconic & legendary Rutger Gunnarsson! He also plays my favorite bassline of ABBA's, "If It Wasn't For The Nights".

[@ИринаБондаренко-щ7ч]

Awesome vocal Anni-Frid is success this song!!!

[@Mr.Greeeeeen]

I miss the 70s. Great music, happy times.👌❤️🕺🥂🌼

[@itsme_mandyp]

Abba hits deep always...good music makes us emotional

[@rdwulf6289]

One of the best tunes ever. The vocals and production are out of this world.

[@yoddeb]

The bass playing by rutger gunnarsson on this song is unbelievable, truly outrageous.

[@karenflinner5313]

No need to apologize for an honest, emotional response to ABBA. I’ve probably heard this song hundreds of times and it still gets me. Their song Winner Takes It All is a real tear-jerker. Keep up the good work!

[@Neumah]

It's so funny, I've heard all ABBA hits a million times, but I never ever _listened_ to them because ABBA was the antithesis of my type of music (or so I thought). Until a couple of months ago when I decided to really listen. And god damn they have lyrics that make me wanna bawl lol, I did not expect that in a million years from some of those upbeat songs. Amazing music, amazing lyrics, amazing fucking group. Period.

[@gregorygant4242]

Yep,ditto that ! I grew up as a kid in the 70's listening to them. As a kid I had ABBA T-shirts, posters in my room,everything. Back then, I was living in Australia and they were massive superstars there. I loved this song. Now I'm 43 years of old and I still love it. Even now, this song still gets to me and I start balling my eyes out. The vocals,instruments, sounding sweet and melodious while at the same time being sad and full of meaning. Masterpieces like this will still be heard in another 45 years , wow, wow !!

[@mparento]

Yes, this is a beautiful song. It predates not only the two divorces but also the marriage of one of the two couples.

[@marcelparrilla915]

Loved your reaction!

[@jennybing9252]

Beautiful song

[@carolespinoza8452]

Their eyes are so haunting, my favorite song of theirs.💔💔💔💔 so dam sad 🥺🥺

[@arlenehenry1097]

Tuff stuff for me! Sometimes love is not separation..but now he resides with the stars n we will meet again...tears of JOY..

[@Anisabell2]

The best one in my opinion in the ABBA world is the winner takes it all...but this one is pretty close. An amazing song, performed by an amazing band. Their immense talent pops up in every song. They are Grand. Go ABBA!!!

[@LornaGarcia-k5j]

Breaking up is never easy I know, but I have to go, knowing me, knowing you is the best I can do - This hits me! Oh my! They make me cry😢Nice song Abba!! Love Anni- Frid! Thanks Hap for great reaction.

[@oscarjosepachanocolina4492]

I love your reactions. They are so genuine you can't be faking that. I have never seen that kind of emotion in a video like this. Awesome.

[@oscarjosepachanocolina4492]

I don't know what emotions this song rocketed deep inside you, but your eyes don't lie. That's what I like the most. Keep doing the good work.

ABBA always and always the best band ever... they all master in music

[@marvinboswell6889]

This song shows there harmony and voices of all there songs

[@omarsighinolfi8445]

Premise: I am a super fan of Abba and in particular of Agnetha. I am 64 years old, I am pleased to see a guy like you appreciate and be moved by listening to this beautiful piece by Abba (one of many!). I would advise you to comment, for me, the best song of Abba: "The winner takes all". Knowing that that blond angel who is singing has just been left (with two small children!) from that blond Viking behind her! Simply heartbreaking! But Bjorn deserves great credit for writing the words of this wonderful piece!

[@janejohnstone5795]

Fabulous 👌 group...magical...music...even today...they sound modern.

[@davidjonas6939]

Sounds SO GOOD and fresh today.....ABBA were masters in the studio and those girls can really sing

[@juttapopp1869]

Their second-best break-up song. Number one being "the winner takes it all".

[@AzoreanZionist]

@jutta popp Nº 3 is «When All Is Said And Done»

[@juttapopp1869]

@@AzoreanZionist , that's my number 3, lol.

[@AzoreanZionist]

[@LeNaInLoVe]

Well, not exactly cronological.....

[@nickchristoforou7850]

Knowing Me, Knowing You is their best song, period. I can't think of better harmonies combined with dramatic musical production on any other song. That' split-second pause before the chorus is like a heart stopping. And that bass line, wow!

[@rromancunard]

Thanks for share, really is a historic and iconic band for a thousands years more and now with the returning are again a big example of the best.

[@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579]

"What's going on here?" You're HUMAN (THANK G-d!) - so, never apologize for Your emotions! Yes, the vocal (and instrumental...) arrangements on this track are absolutely incredible - and, watching the skillfully put together (by Lasse Hallstrom...) video clip at the same time, is sure to play on one's emotions... GREAT reaction, my friend!💕

[@mariaurena7459]

My favorite ABBA song. 😍😍😍😍

[@jerrycote659]

My absolute favorite ABBA song.

[@thisworldofwater8017]

HAP3, I do appreciate a reactor who can pick out basslines, harmonies and countermelodies, yet appreciate the song on an emotional level. Because all these things together make the chemicals in one's brain respond to sounds. One can't help reacting to Abba like this if one (okay, I'm beginning to sound like a member of the Royal Family) is at all attuned to music. Kudos to you, sir.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

this comment almost made me shed a tear! Thank you for taking the time to appreciate the reaction in its entirety. All I can do is be myself, and hope that is enough. Thanks to all enjoying the channel.

[@danfrost3043]

ABBA at the top of their game, one of their finest song's. Huge global hit including 5weeks at No1 in The UK. Fun Fact .. they were standing on revolving flower pots for the turning around shots'

[@christophersquires8631]

this song grabs out like no other,the melodic side of this song just gives you chills down your back!!!!

[@einark6568]

The last song ABBA recorded with a official video was "The Day Before You Came". For me a masterpiece with haunting beat, lyrics and beautyful melodic simplicity.

[@olabergvall3154]

Never apologise for tears 💕

[@maristone701]

I loved your reaction- I subbed up-THIS SONG- It is so real, so RAW. So Authentic so Amazing! ABBA culture was more important than I ever knew growing up on their Music. I am from Sweden and they make us Swedes proud. 💛💙

[@eduardooscar309]

"Knowing me knowing you" is one of ABBA's most famous heartthrob songs The lyrics are strong and raw (some say there is a preview of the couple conflicts between Agnetha and Björn) And it has a powerful chorus on Agnetha and Frida, and a nice melody The video is excellent, it shows the four of them in separation situations, and plays with the images of the trios The part that stands out the most is the appearance of the image of Agnetha almost whispering as a reflection of Frida's main voice Knowing me knowing you It was five weeks in a row at # 1 in the UK, and one of them coincided with the # 1 of "Dancing Queen" on the Billboard. (Just this week of April 9, 1977, 44 years ago, ABBA was # 1 in the U.S. and U.K. with two different songs from the same album Mr it seems great that you follow the timeline of ABBA's songs But before you go to the next album (rightly called "ABBA The Album") I ask you if you can give one more visit to this fantastic album "Arrival" There is a very special ballad: "My love My life" and with a very special video, because only Agnetha (who is the main voice) appears I highly recommend it Here I leave the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWjSmoqYdpubesU

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

incredible, your grasp and history of Abba, is what has also kept this Abba train of reactions going! I`ll be honest. The next one should be The name of the game from that same album. I will take on your consideration. Thanks matey!

[@nickchristoforou7850]

"That's Me" is another superb song on this album, and the playful melody of "Dum Dum Diddle" is so infectious.

[@kentnottingham9635]

Great band, vocals and production. Acting? They shouldn’t quit their day jobs! Such an iconic song!

[@1964paulsmith]

My favourite ever song, let alone being my favourite Abba song. Elvis Costello said at one of his concerts that he was now going to sing the best song ever written about divorce. He then sat at his piano and sang this. You reacted to this pretty much the same as I did back in 1977. Wonderful.

[@AzoreanZionist]

@1964paulsmith It was the Nº 1 Single for the year 1977 in the U.K. A great song from their most «iconic» album..... «Arrival».

[@johnfaustintx]

You put a lot into that reaction, Thanks for sharing it with us,

[@and1ben694]

Great reaction. Don't apologize for your tears, same Hits me often watching and listening to ABBA songs, also to often do not know why. I acceped it as a fact😊

[@isobar5857]

So good to see this younger generation listening to 'real' music from the greatest group of talented artists...bar none. Welcome to ABBA.

[@thebops4180]

ABBA will outlive humanity!

[@Flatwoodsdad]

Thanks for sharing the ABBA magic. Yeah it predates the divorce's but probably not the problems. I saw Bjorn in an interview talking about the Mama Mia stage production. early on they cut the "Ah Ha" out thinking it was too corny. When the song came up the audience put it back in. He said he realized people don't want us messing with their ABBA. There's just so much going on in their songs. The happy/sad aspect, the fantastic music & lyrics, the harmonies and the tiny hooks "Ah Ha". Together as a group, all giving input = ABBA. And it takes all of them to get it perfect too. So glad their working together again. I think good things are gonna come out of it.

[@JayArgonauts]

I was only aged 6 when this was originally released but remember it because my parents played the song and other ABBA tracks when I was a child. As an adult I find their music lifts my spirits when I’m feeling low😊

[@alexioverdo5225]

5:31...such a lovely emotional reaction of you here.

[@sandradittrich6706]

Es ist ihre Geschichte da steckt soviel Wahrheit drin und da klappt das auch mit dem Gesichtsausdruck.

ABBA never did anything halfway, did they? Awesome reaction. Love that you were moved :)

[@juttapopp1869]

Oh, and "When All is said and done" and "Our last summer" are Number 3 and 4 of breakup Songs.

[@Tom_McMurtry]

One of us?

[@jillmcilwain2633]

Have really enjoyed your reactions to ABBA. So mamy more songs to discover. A good one is "Take a Chance on Me". I like that your library of videos is diverse, crossing lots of genres. There is so much more to be explored. Peace. J

[@gallegaeyes]

This is such a truthful, decent, and sad breakup song that taps into this emotions we can feel when we split from someone we've cared for. This is why you are having a strong reaction. And all the hurt looks towards the end.

[@andreaspedersen3952]

All of the members were respected musicians through late 60s and early 70s, so the day they formed they had aviable among the best swedish studiomusicans! Agree! ABBA has some really really nice basslines!

[@chelseacharger]

This is ABBA's original 'divorce' song. Those 'a-ha''s crop up in a number of ABBA songs. Some fans have speculated that they hark back to the 60's Girl Groups and songs like The Shangri-Las 'Leader Of The Pack'. They act like somebody nodding agreement as the narrator gives their sad story, you know. like 'A-ha, I understand'.

[@sionadamson1842]

Hey my friend, i love your Abba reactions always intelligent, thoughtful, articulate, but also so spontaneous, direct & emotional such powerful honesty Sir, sometimes a rare gift great stuff x

[@spykatt]

I get emotional hearing this song as well. The beauty and sadness of it, driven by the powerful vocals and music makes a heck of a statement. Where love was once alive, there is now only ghosts. Memories can be sweet, but are ultimately sad because by definition, they no longer exist. Ah-haaa...

[@spykatt]

PS Subscribing due to your honest and heartfelt reaction.

[@stevehulse4005]

You really felt the emotion in the music and lyrics in this. That’s what great music does. Fantastic reaction as usual 👌

[@helenpreisig6617]

It’s still a sad reality .... but it’s a sad song. Quedos to them for treating it maturely ... it’s still sad to watch - no one wishes that for anyone and it seemed they handled it fairly. This is their personal space and we don’t know and shouldn’t know. Love how they handled it at that moment 🥰💕

[@bilbyguy2389]

The expressions of the singers (when they turn around) show their real life pain they are experiencing.

[@fondelmaddick5085]

Superb song, but makes me tearful.

[@creatinotionchannel2680]

You hit upon the signatures of the song that make it special and stand out compared to all their other songs. There is nothing else that sounds quite like this by Abba or anyone else. I love the guitar bit and the ah-ha. Try their song Angeleyes - lots of great aaahs in that as well and superb harmonies.

[@AzoreanZionist]

There will never be another ABBA. ♥♪♪♪ They recorded a great version «en español»........«Conociendome, Conociendote». 👍♥

[@staalmannen2522]

Hi. You are great showing your emotions. Thx!! This is a perfect pop song. Written and performed when the two couples still were happy! together.

[@edned5504]

When the women look back at the end, the look on their faces suggest sadness. They're looking back to the empty house where once child played. The emotion is pain. But seeing as you mention facial expressions, do have a look back at yourself from 10'21" to 10'25". Maybe you'd forgotten hot chocolate! Keep up the good work.

[@christineostrom5187]

Dont appologice, im from Sweden and im so glad that you have soul and heart So near you, in you. Thank you ❤. That you 🥰

The tears are about you being a beautiful person, ABBA gets the best of us. When I was very young they were huge, beautiful soulful music. You aren't great, love your reactions.

[@joymaxs2874]

Such an emotional reaction Hap , ❤️ love the fact we share the same emotions here. I loved your comments and can't agree more with you. 👍🏼

[@rickyconner6782]

I have never owned an ABBA record. I liked Dancing Queen, but wasn't that impressed by it. I thought their follow - up songs were more catchy. I agree with you totally about the A Ha part of this song. It's to me a masterpiece of pop music. The writing is sad and lyrical, the composition of the music is great, and the harmonies instantly stick in your head. What more could you want from a pop song?

[@helenpeterson]

Another great reaction #HAP3SPEAKZ to my all time favourite ABBA song. Love seeing your raw emotion to your reaction as that genuinely shows the purpose behind a reaction totally so don't ever apologise for that, just go with the feeling. If u watch the video again it was filmed in Lasse Halstrom's (Director) own apartment and he said when filming this you notice the blue backdrop used in the interior shots was a sheet that wasn't ironed. No high tech graphics here lol.

[@saturninocardoso6667]

I'm still in love with this beautiful blonde girl 😥

[@m.menneke8513]

The winner takes it all is the best breakup song of all time. This one is great too. They made a few masterpieces and this is one of them. SOS, Knowing me, knowing you, Dancing Queen , the winner takes it all and the day before you came

Great reaction! Incredible song and band, pure excellence!

[@Nui.]

Rutger Gunnarsson's bass work........ DAMN!

[@friguy4444]

This is the same reaction I get from this song and some others of theirs. The song is a full package not just a great beat or a great hook. It's got the poetry and emotion in the lyrics as well as in the melodies and the feel of the choices of notes and mix. It's the whole thing. Then add in the fact that they were real couples going through life as we all do and the struggles are real their emotions are REAL. Not like the lame non musical stuff that gets pushed out at us from the industry now days.

[@dardude1139]

All four have said the relationships would have ended 5 years before they did, it was the group that kept them together for so long, and even after they divorced.

Everything in the songs are ABBA's idea. The boys wrote every note and every line.

Great (chair) dance moves, Hap! 😊👍 Sad song but very rhytmic! And again you apologize for emotions escaping in tears - no need for that, dear, we all understand, we're just human, right!? Nice advice or idea you got there - playing break up song to avoid break up! 😁

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Yes... play it on a break up... and then make up. Quite the complexity of emotions on that one. 🙂 But sometimes on emotions take over. Thanks all for understanding.

[@theresenydahl9531]

You choose well, this represent their voices and musicality very well. Personally I always found it sexy and sensual :) And I agree, break up is sometimes necessary but it will always stir up feelings when you think of it, sometimes for a lifetime.

[@denikennedy6675]

GREAT ANALYSIS ON THE SONG, HAP! BUT SOMETIMES THE PAINFUL BREAK UPS WE EXPERIENCE IN LIFE ARE NOT ALWAYS MEANT TO BRING US BACK TOGETHER BUT TEACH US LESSONS ONLY WE CAN RELATE TO PERSONALLY. AND HAPPENED FOR OUR HIGHEST GOOD TO POSSIBLY LEAD US TO THE ONE WE ARE TRULY DESTINED TO BE WITH. VERY GOOD. SONG. EXCELLENT REACTION, HAP!!💕💕🙏

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Thanks Deni! good point of view, they teach us lessons - and happened for the higher good. That is deep.
