Madonna: Like an Angel Passing Through My Room [Unreleased Song]

[@andreavo6546]

I knew Madonna is a great singer. And she perfectly performed her Hung Up over a sequence of "Gimme!Gimme! Gimme!" by Abba. But this version of my very beloved song absolute crushed me. Wonderful job, Madonna. Different from Frida, but absolutely genious! Congratulations. She really must be a fan of ABBA, with so much depth in her interpetation of this heavenly mindtaking song.

[@vhanderlan]

Perfectly said. I couldn't agree more. You're absolutely right!

[@christeague7596]

Well said ..amazing version..

[@Cicilo1983]

Not to mention that she tackled what is certainly one of their deepest, least-known songs. She's obviously paid attention to their repertoire - not just the hits.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

@@Cicilo1983 Great observation Cicilo!Abba's version has an impactful sad painful sense.Madonna's version sounds more tender to me.Both moving cause of both being sincerely emotional and heartfelt..

Now THAT is what you call a decent cover of an ABBA track . Why in the world this wasn’t realeased is anyone’s guess

[@troyturner982]

one of my favourite songs of all time, covered by my favourite artist of all time. Simply stunning. This definitely needs to be released

[@vitorgarcia479]

ABBA and Madonna sounds like angels passing through my room. I like them both. Great cover.

Criminal this has more views than the original ABBA song which is hauntingly beautiful.

[@gregwoolliscroft6255]

I am shocked to be honest....I thought she would WRECK this GREAT song, but she stood true to the original....SUCH a beautiful song......respect to Madonna for her respectful treatment....One of the most UNDER-RATED songs EVER....

[@ThePROTO1TYPE]

I have to admit I havealways had a certain degree of admiration for Madonna. This beautiful version of the ABBA classic only consolidates that admirationt. She treats the song with a great deal of respect and I am sure ABBA would agree that it is a very dignified interpretation of their work. Very pleasant to listen to. Thank you, Her Madgesty!

[@boydj2702]

Wow seriously wow...the voice is angelic and immaculate! Madonna did an amazing cover version of this song!

[@MartinSlovakian]

wow... big mistake not to release this. wonderful.

[@propman3523]

Madonna! OMG! I never dreamed that her covered ABBA. Yet, so beautifully. This is a testament to the quality and beauty of Benny's compositions. ABBA, you are humanity's joy and comfort.

[@anderlundberg9297]

The Compositions are done by Bjorn and benny - If You Think Benny did all the Music you´re werry wrong

[@Urfinchannel]

@@anderlundberg9297 where are Björns Solo Albums ? Where is his Studio with Glas Front to the sea ? Never built. Benny is the genius behind all the Songs.Björn is ,,only,, the lyricist and at the Abba times to order something with his analytic sensor and some guitar riffs.

@@Urfinchannel oh dear you are even wronger!

[@farfisa]

@@anderlundberg9297 you are werry werry right about that!

[@ElisabethMarx]

I grew up with Abba songs in 70's,then i found Madonna in 80's.and felt in love with her too. We are now in 2018 and i have just one big dream..I wish to see Abba & Madonna together on stage performing their new tracks from their new Albums..singing "Gimme, gimme /Hung up" somewhere between..

Madonna still an under rated singer! Respect the queen

[@jaishemajames4554]

Crazy for you , live to tell , stay , shoo bee doo, she sings ballads well ...

[@ambidextra_ambidextra]

Gosh!😲 I'm more than a little tetchy about ANYone doing Abba covers - like How Very Dare You!!! but this is truly wonderful , I love it. And Awh😥 back when Madonna had a human voice that wasn't 50% autotune, and she sounds stunning and beautiful💖😪💘

[@stp22]

Madonna must record a new ballads album before she gets too old. Her voice is soothing and full of emotion

[@jeremevr6]

This is on ABBA’s final album The Visitors-which is a dark pop affair worth listening to. Probably my favorite album of theirs.

[@Snowman13230]

not their final album anymore)))

[@terrybaker8156]

The Visitors album is an absolute masterpiece, musical royalty of the highest order.

[@martinhumble]

Agree

[@mattfinansys9024]

In a sad future time when madonna is no longer with us, this and many more unreleased gems will become available. Shame she wont release them now and enjoy the pleasure it brings.

[@AlexeBriand2002]

she didn’t release this because it’s a cover

[@jld3480]

thinking of the future that way is depressing!!! :(

[@laurence.MusicAndSights]

Please do not mention Madonna s death. Nomi s, Mercury s, Bowie s, Whinehouse s, Cohen s....not this icone. The planet is failing...we are all dying, hanging on music to keep us warm...

[@hfxmusicman]

Gorgeous. Just different enough from the ABBA version, but not different enough to ruin it.

[@hoprabbitbunny]

Again, Lady Madonna makes me want to cry. Cover or original, this brillant Detroit Rocker has a beautiful voice. Thank you Madonna for Inspiring Me! You Are Love!

[@Xfile1947]

WOW! First time hearing this. Excellent cover version! ❤️

[@briandubois-gilbert8182]

ABBA and Madonna through their beautiful ballads are metaphorically shining light and giving hope in the dark world of pain, loss, and despair. This 1981 ABBA song and Rose Royce’s 1978 Love Don’t Live Here Anymore, were said to be pre-fame personal favorites of Madonna.

[@luigi3duran]

This is actually a very good version! Kudos To Mr Orbit!!! (Not Better Than Abba's Though!, That phrase doesn't exist...

[@perth45]

agreed....

[@toppr9579]

One of ABBA weakest songs

[@toppr9579]

Two different versions. None is better than the other.

[@conp1953]

William Orbit and Madonna always created such amazing music together. Most of the unreleased music I find that I like, I find out it's produced by Orbit and I'm like ahh that explains it!

[@Urfinchannel]

Typical 90 sound by William Orbit,not giving me goosebumps like the Abba original.

[@user-GazarooGuy]

An effortless , perfect vocals from Madonna. Quite hypnotic.

[@endlessness80]

Madonna has one of the most romantic voices in the world. So beautiful.

[@debkosteniuk1]

I love the original Abba version and purity and emotion in Frida's voice. But this is lovely too and I thought Madonna sounded absolutely lovely. Benny and Bjorn crafted beautiful music and I am sure Madonna was well aware of that. I appreciate her recording this and would have loved to have seen it released.

[@ralphus44]

It's a very nice cover. Nothing compares with the haunting vocals of the original, but I enjoyed this version. She needs to release it.

[@onewxrldmusic7303]

This was a great revelation to me, unreleased yet so worthwhile. I always loved this ABBA song but Madonna makes a greatly refreshing, sensual and remarkable version of it.

[@grzegorzszczesny4553]

Heavenly interpretation. The other half was heartbreaking. Great combinations with contemporary sound effects. Indeed, whoever realized it has great taste.

[@SIZERRULE]

Beautiful version. She should have included it on an album! Plus it would have followed on her theme of "like a...." Like a virgin Like a prayer Like a flower .........

[@Psergiorivera]

Probably one of her greatest songs. It's stunning and a beautiful cover.

[@Psergiorivera]

I'm aware of that. Bjorn and Benny heard it and were blown away. No idea what Agnetha or Anna-Frid has ever heard it, I'm sure they have.

Wonderful magical rendition! 💯👏🏼👑💐🕊

[@chrisjaytabarejo1180]

I’m usually very critical when it comes to Abba covers as most of the time the song ends up butchered. Abba is a hard act to follow, but Madonna really nailed this one. She captured the essence of the song.

It's about coming to the end of life . Only ABBA can write ✍️ a song so beautiful

[@carmelcorreale3211]

A very sad song i feel. By mistake I gave a copy of this song to my sister -in -law to be.I had not realized just how depressed she had become. After being together with my brother for 12 years they were to be married. Two months before the set date he died of a sudden heart attack. 18 months later she committed suicide. So now it's sad for me also. Very haunting .She had changed her name by depol to my brother's surname, And she was buried next to him in her wedding gown. At his funeral She had him dressed in a wedding suit and we all wore corsages that she wanted us to wear and also had white Limousines for the coffin and families as if we were going to a wedding So for me the song is very haunting .

Fantastic vocals, peaceful, dramatic, a masterpiece, I agree the best Abba cover! Such a waste! Thank god for youtube! I love the uploader! Thanks!

Long awaited darkness falls Casting shadows on the walls In the twilight hour, I am alone Sitting near the fireplace Dying embers warm my face In this peaceful solitude All the outside world subdued Everything comes back to me again In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room Half awake and half in dreams Seeing long forgotten scenes So the present runs into the past Now and then become entwined Playing games within my mind Like the embers, as they die Love was one prolonged goodbye And it all comes back to me tonight In the gloom Like an angel passing through my room I close my eyes And my twilight images go by All too soon Like an angel passing through my room Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Benny Goran Bror Andersson / Bjoern K.
