From a general point of view i'd say you're right about coffee and melancholy and especially here in Sweden we are by nature quite melancholy. If you live up in north of Sweden it's somewhat easier to "hang in there". Yes it's lots of snow and super cold but the snow kinda lights up. Compare that to the West coast where October lasts until March if you're unlucky. Rain and wind day out and day in no wonder we're getting depressed and melancholy!

Hi Jamel, the ABBA people didn't give up easily. They even were on their best tour when Agnetha and Bjørn were separated. Their Wembley concerts are classics. They made the Voulez-Vous album. They made the Super Trouper album, which this song is from. Annifrid and Benny was still married here. You know they are Scandinavian. If they had been latin, they had broken up already ;). Instead they released music that also reflected their feeelings and their mood. That's why their music is so good. It has substance. Their last album The Visitors even more so: It has some very moving lyrics and songs as: When All Is Said and Done (my favourite), Slipping Through My Fingers, Like An Angel Passing Through My Room, One of Us. ABBA came to be from friendships and love, and ended with the end of romantic love. Bjørn and Benny never fought, and the girls, even they were very different were very supportive of each other. It's great to see that they are so good friends today, and even recorded at least two new songs in 2017! First recordings as a complete group since 1982. Hopefully released very soon. ABBA had magic, its incredible how many young people they are able to touch 39 years after their last album.

Nice to find someone who really knows ABBA! All that drama people are talking about is mostly in their own heads... They seems to think every gaze or word in every video/song is real and that ABBA were fighting already around SOS. When in truth they are still good friends and simply just broke up as couples and then went on to do other stuff... People should really stop projecting so much on to other people who they know nothing about. Just enjoy the music, listen to the lyrics, they are worth really listening to in ABBA:s case. Instead of listening to gossip. 🎶

Every time I see that you've done an ABBA song, I can't click it fast enough. They were my first "favorite band" when I was about ten years old in 1978 and I still adore them more than words can express. If you can find a good recording of "The Way Old Friends Do", it is one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful songs ever and really tells an amazing story. I'd have given anything to see them live.

4:00 That "drama" you are talking about is largely an internet myth, a saga. Sure they got divorced, but that was no big thing in Sweden in the 1970s or 80s. They are still good friends, all four of them. Björn and Agnetha often celebrate christmas and birthdays together (as they have children). No "drama" involved. :D

They made ‘Happy New Year’ absolutely very close to the 1979-1980 New Year’s Eve parties. First both of the couples that formed ABBA divorced- then, they broke the group up around 1982. Cracks in that become critical in relationships can start anytime, but can go on for very ling times.

Hey Jamal! Vancouver Canada here! Happy New Year! my hubby discovered your channel last April. I was thinking of this song this morning and then it appeared on your channel! Holy moly. This is the story. I'm an ABBA devotee and had this album. By the time it was released both couples had broken off their relationships but ABBA is a bigger business than IKEA at this point. The guys were still really in the throws of writing and were developing Chess, their first musical production. Plus there was another album in the works, The Visitors. The Winner Takes it All has been argued as the penultimate, insult to a marriage and divorce song, but, you can't help thinking of the emotional strength these four had to plow through. Strength and Resilience Jamal! your the best!

They only stayed together for one more album after this. They never offically broke up as a group. They actually started on another album, but it wasn't going well, so they took a break. The break kept going on and over time as they drifted apart and the years kept adding up. Having said that, they did get back together a few years ago, and supposedly started working on some new music. They have been teasing the release for probably 2 years now, but the release date keeps getting pushed back.

Well to boil it down this song is actually very current right now. It's about a harsh and difficult year (or decade) that's come to an end and now it's about to how to tackle the future, can we muster the will to turn things around and make it better again (where every neighbor is a friend) or will we succumb to the hardships, let them break us, so that we lose the will to try (and might lay down and die). The song really says that it's up to us to be strong enough make things better and not be complacent and let our inactions give way to the darkness that's out there, ready to snuff out the flame of the candle that this new year has brought with it.

*** of a world where every neighbor is a friend *** This song was written in 1980 when tensions between the U.S. and the USSR were intense. America was boycotting the 1980 Olympics, Russia was in Afghanistan, and Regan was on the way. Bjorn is speaking more generally about the world - "May we all have our hopes, our will to try. If we don't we might as well lay down and die" In the next album, he is even more direct "Is is true that the beast [of war] is waking" (Soldiers) The melancholy reflects the world, as much as the personal.

Fleetwood Mac's drama is on a completely different level where they more or less said straight out what they felt about eachother in the songs. ABBA on the other hand were not so much public drama and all of them remained good friends. Yes they admit that a divorce is a failure but they reached a point where felt they had like grown apart. Besides in the Fleetwood case there were also drugs playing a huge part.

Agnetha ( the blonde) and Bjorn had been divorced about a year and a half by the time of this video (separated longer). Bjorn had remarried by then. THey had both commented on how better they worked together after the divorce. They both worked together well when they toured in 79. Bjorn had brought his then new girlfriend with him. This video takes place after Bjorn and Agnetha's divorce, but before Frida (the red head) and Benny's (the bearded piano player) separation and divorce. The song is a comment on how we pick up ourselves in the good and bad times of another year passing and strive to try and keep moving forward in the year to come. As for Agnetha's height, both girls are 5'8". In heels, they looked taller. Thanks for the reaction.

I remember like it was yesterday the day I bought this album. It was on audio cassette format and I loved every song in it. That was in 1980. One of ABBA's best for sure. This particular song I have been listening to every new year's eve and new year's day ever since. Even though it was forty years ago, it still sounds as fresh as the first time I heard it. Relevant then, perhaps even more so today. ABBA seemed to have a kind of clairevoyance about the future when it came to writing lyrics. Take "Soldiers" from their final album 'The Visitors", another example of their unmatched talent for song writing. A song that could have been written today. Listen to it closely.

"I thought it was going to be a happy song". The thing is, with ABBA, all their happy songs have dark undertones.

Nice reaction, man. Freaking sick sad TUNE. I'm stTUNEd... Sick vocals, sick harmony, sick lyrics, WHAT LIES WAITING DOWN THE LINE IN THE END OF 89 is an epic sentence. Wow, man. Greetings from Brazil, and should I say: what lies waiting down the line in the end of 21???

ABBA were so loved in The UK, that they and Led Zep, jointly held the record for 36 years, with the most consecutive No 1 Albums,8 (even more than The Beatles) until recently surpassed by Eminem.

I don't see other reaction to ABBA songs in your chanel I supouse it was the first Then, congratulations I hope for more reactions to the Sweden group ABBA, the more versatile and most important and best selling band in the 70s, the decade post BEATLES ABBA are master to combine sad lyrics with catchy melodies and amazing armonies vocal (also they have happy songs too like: Waterloo, Dancing Queen, Take a chance on me, etc; all this was #1, so catchy and happiest and dancing) The best example was: "The winner takes it all" It was composed 18 mounths after separation between the guitarist Björn and the blonde singer Agnetha Björn write the lyrics of a broken relation and Agnetha sing it with a powerful voice and feeling And the melodie is so catchy, one of their best songs Brutish people chose this as their favorite ABBA song I hope you react this song I give you a link with a oerfomance in Germany kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6qsgJ9jqJx9irc but if you see the Official Video, you can see a great actuation of Agnetha; and the images shows the pain and sadnes combine with memories and happy times It's in my opinion the best video of ABBA GOD bless you and Happy New Year

1. I had a huge crush on Agnetha (blonde) 2. This band was part of what made 70s music great. All on the same station you can hear this group, Elton John, David Bowie, The Doobie Brothers, The Eagles and Alice Cooper and not miss a beat. This wasn't one of them but you know what I mean.

Thank you for this reaction and Merry Cristmas for you! When you see the video and hear the song Agnetha's voice is sublime, clear and beautiful, like an angel and Frida in the second and third back vocals was fantastic As always, excelent Agnetha + Frida Another song for this time: "I have a dream" with roles inverted Frida as lead vocal and Agnetha as back vocal you can check it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnjbnJmIeZ6hpNU GOD bless you and be careful

Jamel, if I might make a suggestion/request. You can react to it on either of your channels. Do ABBA "The Last Video". It's hilarious. The dialog is pretty much their lyrics. They all have cameos. Also, it was the video suggestion that popped up at the end of "Happy New Year."

In order to understand all the inside jokes in The Last Video, you should know the Abba catalogue quite well. Maybe Jamel should wait a little bit longer before reacting "The Last Video".
