Abba - Slipping Through My Fingers | REACTION

[@kristianmapage9742]

Thx, it's good that Americans release big hits from the ABBA Gold compilation, including so many other tracks like this one that deserve to be shared, like "Hole in your soul", "when all is said and", "Our Last Summers", Under Attack",.......

[@christianoazzuro6711]

..."make music that the world can relate to"...U lovely man,so well said.Yes that simple yet so difficult.

[@DIDCOTTWIST]

Amazing that most of ABBA music is 1970's still is amazing sound now in 2024

[@badlongon525]

This was in 1982

[@DIDCOTTWIST]

@badlongon525 but still a long time ago

[@ddodgerfan18]

@@DIDCOTTWISTThe songs of ABBA are timeless. They can sound fresh and new in any time period. That’s the magic of their songs. They will entertain every generation to come.

[@martinhumble]

​@@badlongon525yes, and still today. That's 🇸🇪 for you

[@dawnjensen5615]

I am 52. Been an ABBA fan since 1978.

[@alexioverdo5225]

Me and my cousin had summed up our pocket money to buy our first Abba album while still being students in primary school."ABBA - The Album".First l times isten we thougfht,'meh!what's all that hype,nah: by late 1979 we had both been seriously and madly addicted.Eternally.

[@dawnjensen5615]

@alexioverdo5225 that's my favorite ABBA album!

[@riogorgos]

One of my favourite ABBA albums.

[@frankjoi6403]

ABBA is the best.

[@wayne_twentyfive]

Great to have you back doing music reactions again, Jamal .. And doing one of my very favourite bands .. ABBA can do no wrong ! 😊❤

[@russytherutan]

Beautiful moving song. An underrated gem from one of the best selling groups of all time. There is a live version of this from the ABBA meets Dick Cavett show in 1981.

[@colinstevens2691]

My favourite group of all time. Genius songwriting from Benny and Bjorn, and beautiful vocals from Agnetha. More ABBA please😊

[@alejandrosantanaborquez917]

Nice to see you again, man! Beautiful song... Very moving😊. 🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️ NEVER DISSAPOINT! Please more 🙏 Take care, Jamal ✌️ Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍

[@andersgranstrom7128]

My favorite ABBA song (outta so many great) - although not a parent. Talk about delivering a feeling!

[@RavennaAl]

Bjorn said he wrote this song when he watched his daughter walk to her first day of school all by herself. He remembered how scared and yet how proud she was to be going alone. Every parent's worst fear, and yet biggest pride at the same time.

[@mikesmithson6805]

Such a talented band. Thank you Sweden for ABBA

[@helenpeterson]

Nice to see u back with ABBA.

[@roger4268]

Welcome back to the ABBA world Jamal! ❤👍

[@angelamillard6418]

I wasn't familiar with this song, ABBA was always great band ❤

[@herrbonk3635]

That's always strange to me, how people buy singles, or only know their worst hits. I never saw a single, but bough all their LPs, despite not being a very strong fan back in the 1970s. At least they were good enough for that :)

[@agnetamalmqvist3776]

Are!

[@martinhumble]

Love it, love it, Love ABBA♥️

[@jeanneulica8295]

A sincere thanks to you for coming back to us with your wonderful music reactions. I cannot tell you how much I've missed this side of you!💕

[@eduardooscar309]

What a great pleasure to see you return to ABBA songs And of ABBA songs most emotionals "Slipping through my fingers" (1981) is in my opinion the most testimonial and emitional ABBA song 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 ABBA performed live in 1981 "Slipping through my fingers" These was the premiere in the TV special "Dick Cavett meets ABBA" kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6ezhZeAnZedbNU and these is one of ABBA's songs recorded in spanish too: "Se me está escapando" (ABBA recorded a full album in spanish too in 1980, after the worldwide success of "Chiquitita" in 1979 at the Concert for UNICEF, specialy in Latin American countries) 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 I hope to see you soon with more ABBA songs My best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina South America

[@NyMyers64]

This was an Abba track I was not familiar with. Nice one, Jamel. Have a great rest of your day.

[@andres28071974]

Saludos desde Paraguay, tienes muy buenas reacciones!!! Sigue así, bendiciones!!!

[@lightningbug276]

I wish my kids were still little ❤

[@chrismoule7242]

Hopefully, you will in the end have grandkids. They can help make up for that feeling of yours. Ask me how I know.

[@IslaSkye123]

Happy Thanksgiving Jamel, Adrienne, Arielle and cousin Daryll!

[@scottfarley3644]

Very underrated song.

[@brianjohnston5325]

Let's jump right into it! 👏

[@henkebenke573]

Best group ever!

[@chrismoule7242]

It's so hard to let go. But it has to be done.

[@ericarachel55]

"they say time flies like an arrow, but I say fruit flys like a banana" Groucho Marx....

[@sarablack2547]

this is one of their hits that doesn't get as much air time as the others.although i've heard it more since it was used in the film version of the worldwide successful stage musical mama mia. the particular scene is donna(meryl streep)helping her daughter sophie(amanda seyfield)get ready to get married.

[@lauramchugh2454]

After the band broke up Agnetha Faltskog's life fell apart.......very sad 🙏🤍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@fridatedenby6262]

Hey, love your vibe! Would be superfun to se you react to Jussi Björling O holy night ( O helga natt) in swedish. Much Love

[@uglenddalejones2]

You know,I’ve never heard this song 🎶

[@bethvaughn4231]

Watch the movie Mamma Mia.

[@maryt2290]

I love this album but there’s lots of melancholy to pretty much every track.

[@Nonya007]

Please do Send The Pain Below by Chevelle 🙏🙏🙏

[@MaineUSA]

Oh my God why aren't you listening to Fernando by ABBA!?!???

[@henkebenke573]

Fernando? He should listen to every abba song! Best group ever

[@cat_terrell]

Can you please, do some Maniacs or Natalie Merchant solo stuff, soon? Thanks✌🏽

[@186llewis]

Don't Care for Abba too much but love your channel❤ I liked Dancing Queen. I would like to see you do a review on Bill McClintock channel!! His remixes of songs are insane!!

[@ChrisEchoes]

Why you wearing the headphones over the hoody? You realise it is dampening the sound coming from the headphones.

[@maryt2290]

Love it when you sneak in a music reaction now and again. Still perplexed by the whole blocking thing. Seems awful rando.

[@cat_terrell]

10,000 Maniacs "How You've Grown" about Natalie Merchant's experiences while concert touring and leaving her daughter home. I think ABBA fell short with this one. I've never even heard this until, today. And, I'm an ABBA fan. Lol
