I Still Have Faith In You - ABBA Reaction with Mike & Ginger

[@paulsparks7035]

I've been to the show in London and it is awesome

[@shereekendall1003]

You guys are fantastic! Gosh yous had me laughing😅and you didnt know that you were watching abbas abbatars😅😅😅😅

[@birgittalagerstrom6264]

I still get emotional when I hear it. ❤❤

[@tomeng9520]

No autotune because they Anni-Frid (Frida) and Agnetha can actually Sing unlike modern pop.

[@sifridbassoon]

I have to say this song had me in tears the first time I heard it. If you've watched other reaction videos, you may have trouble understanding the reaction of us 50+ fans when we say that we were running around weeping and grinning and laughing all at the same time. There has been a lot of discussion about who the "you" in the song refers to. The group? The music? The fans? The creativity? All of those are true, but for me, it means myself. Watching all the background videos, especially the videos of the recording sessions was empowering (I hate that word, but it's the only one that really fits).They are older of course, have put on some weight, have gray hair (when they still have any), are wearing glasses, have wrinkles on their faces and double chins and age spots. In other words, they look like me. And if they can go back into the studio (in their 70s!) and record an entire new album, create their ABBAtars, and start concertizing again, then maybe this 67 year old can also still accomplish something if I only have faith in myself. After all, we have a story and it has survived. 🙂

[@emiliomazzeo4286]

NOSTALGIC, BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING, RELATABLE AND EMOTIONAL WONDERFUL.. WHAT A GREAT LYRICS AND FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE. THANKS FOR YOUR REACTION

[@erienbudhiyanto]

So touching..emotional.. magic Fantastic four Genius Brilliant Nothing compare ABBA ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@RalphWigg1]

This is about Abba reassuring their fans that they still have it. The other track 'Don't Shut Me Down' is about the Abba 'abbatars' asking their fans to accept them in their new form.

[@sven-goranlindmark1583]

Fridas mezzosoprano is just brilliant. She is 76 here and there is no autotune with computor bettering. Now and then Agnetas soprano in the background comes in and in the end the boys comes in

[@christine3043]

I agree but Frida was 71 when this was recorded in June 2017.

[@proteusspp]

Have you been to the concert in London? If not, I heartily recommend it! It's a great experience!

[@TangoEliott]

The thing about this song is it is biographical; as soon as Bjorn heard the melody he knew it had to be about them. But you miss the point of the why you are seeing what you saw. They ABBATARS are dated to 1979 and so they took you to that year. They showed you them going on stage, which will eventually be their digital motion capture selves, leading from their childhood to 1979. That is why you did not see anything older. The show is magnificent. The album is magnificent. ABBA is magnificent.

[@MikeandGinger]

Agreed

[@rayfaircloth8253]

Except the abbatars are dated 1977. I saw the show in London in October 2022. It was absolutely AWESOME!!

[@albertlopez4956]

The level of nostalgia is just overwhelming. Simple music in a world of turmoil, very much welcomed.

You are such a wonderful people 😺😎 I love your reaction too ABBA,the best music i think.Wish you the best in life and look forward too another reaction from you.GOD Loves you

[@anthonysmith8800]

IMO there has never been a band like ABBA that touches so many people of all generations. Their music is real and personal and resonates with us all. They don't copy anyone don't try and keep up with trends. They just stay faithful to the music they want to write. They are the GOLD standard of pop and I genuinely believe they will never be bettered. ❤

[@vkig7697]

Very well said!!! ABBA - gift to the world,

[@kimmo6017]

[@arcadian78]

I went to the ABBA Arena in London June of last year….I know it’s only Abbatars of them but it’s the closest I’ll ever get to seeing ABBA perform in concert…..I was okay until the opening bars of Fernando and that was it I was in tears😢I loved it so much and can’t wait to go back.

The first couple of times I heard this song “I still have faith in you.” I got all teary- to hear the ABBA sound! OMG!

[@paulecrosby2006]

Once again they have put the smiles back on millions of faces around the world ♥

[@darkiee69]

This song is for, and about, the band. "Don't shut me down" is a song to the fans. And "Just a notion" is an old song, with the voices from the original master, but with new music. So like the show it's a mix of new and old.

[@ajayjackson7727]

Dont Shut me Down is about Agnetha going back to her ex-partner and proving she is now a different person, it's not about the fans hah

[@darkiee69]

@@ajayjackson7727 It's a "we're back, a bit older and wiser" song. "And now you see another me, I've been reloaded" Yes, we see the ABBAtars that's been uploaded. "I'm not the one you knew, I'm now, and then combined" Older, wiser, the voice from now, but the ABBAtars looks like then.

[@ajayjackson7727]

@@darkiee69 yep 👍 older and wiser song for sure, it's a great song, the moment i heard it i loved it. Agnetha and Frida's voices are still amazing and i've always loved how they promounce the words in their songs with their swedish accents

[@geordieboy8945]

I agree. The lyrics scream that message. Very clever.

[@peterivarsson6819]

I've heard all the ABBA songs from the 1970s. Many are absolutely amazing, but this particular one is a masterpiece. Amazingly good after so long that the sound is still there.

[@nimocash3535]

I love this song so much.

[@mikesmithson6805]

We still have faith in em😊 ABBA rules

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

This is such a beautiful song. Full blown nostalgia, but without ignoring the sad parts of their common history. Love it.

[@IvoryCruzader]

Yes! Unblocked :-) Very, very few bands have reunited after so many years apart, and still producing songs of this quality after all that time is... unique. Onto their next songs then :-) Take care.

[@jonnyberggren4598]

"The one who waits for something good..."... Still this gets me so emotional... This is the music of all my childhood.. My upbringing.. Something that is in the soul of many Swedes... They are probably some of the richest Swedes there are. So they are not doing this for money. They are doing this for the love of the fans and for each other... They are all very humble down to earth people. And they have had their struggles in life too. My interpretation of this song is that even they may doubt themself.. Do I still have it in me... And that they finally find out that the age and years are not in the way. They still can... And honestly how many bands take a 39 years break. Comes back when they all are over 70 years old... And still yes still touch hearts.. And show that pop don't need to be a teenager or similar to be the best at it. Nowadays it's way to much artists that from the record companies don't get any support after they pass the 30ths. This is healing music for very many. And I think it comes in a time when many people really needs something like this in their life.

[@eduardooscar309]

Until now two new ABBA songs have been known, both different in their themes and leading voices And both have the ABBA trademark on their solvency in musical composition and production We know the great spirit of perfection that Björn and Benny impress on their creations, and both new creatures live up to their great successes of the 80s. So the biggest mystery was to know the state of the voices of Agnetha and Frida and how they could react to the inevitable passing of the decades and their possible comparisons with previous classics. And I must also say that they both look very good And in that "look" there is an extraordinary job of caring for Björn and Benny to "take care" of their historical singers and former partners. They gave them two wonderful songs, with beautiful melodies and deep lyrics, but they were also surrounded by the iconic hooks and the appeal to emotional nostalgia "I still have faith in You" is an unpublished song in its conception in the history of ABBA because it is self-referential about them as a group, and it is also testimonial, because they tell us about their experiences in all this time Musically it is a ballad with mystical and epic A stately and majestic piano, and Frida's soft voice conducts and recreates ABBA's story with poignant beauty, with Agnetha joining in some verses to emphasize The sound of the drums arrives (a nod to the mega hit "Fernando") as if preparing the change of rhythm And with a powerful guitar comes that first unpublished chorus, because this time all ABBA sings from the bowels of its history and with the strength of its testimony of life, of healing and togetherness. And in the second chorus, even stronger, it becomes very clear that ABBA sings with the passion and courage that Björn's excellent lyrics stand out, it is like a triumphant song of their survival and their bond. And it ends with a solo by Frida, flawless, with the flutes at the end Also isn't a commercial song (more than 5 minutes) it's so emotional, with a fantastic vídeo of all greatest memories of pictures, official videos of 70s songs and Australia tour ABBA really comes back at high level The world needs ABBA sound

[@TheSpeakEasyLounge]

I got really emotional watching them from all those years ago, and then to see the ABBATARS, and what Technology can now accomplish, bringing back ABBA, creating an arena for them and all the work that's gone into this, just AMAZES me! I also Reacted to "I Still Have Faith In you" & The short Mini-Documentary "ABBA Voyage The Journey continues" Take a look and let me know your thoughts! ABBA, 40 YEARS LATER! kzbin.info/www/bejne/noDbpWlvab-LnpI

[@Zentrix-24]

In these times of Pandemic strife, Abba's new songs are a pleasant relief "even if for a short while" and elevate me back to the 70's . This song and all the new songs released are so well done and the girls vocals are unbelievable for their age. All the productions are high end. This song seems to have the most western influence I've ever heard of all their songs. Love love love it. Very nostalgic. Since the George Lucas production created Abbatars, they are now immortalized as we remembered them in the 70's, pretty cool.

[@MP-od1zz]

Finally unblocked! I am loving the new songs and feeling the emotions. Yes, I noticed you Ginger, getting the feels during this song. I just love that ABBA is in their mid 70s, and they still sound very similar to 40 years ago. Looking forward to the next reactions.

[@sharifuddinsalleh7119]

Please react also to their 2nd and 3rd new songs, Don't Shut Me Down and Just A Notion. Mike and Ginger, make sure you'll react to the other 2 new releases above, ahead of the whole new album launching this 5th of November 2021.❤️👍

Loved your comments. So much so I'll make a note to send you mine when I eventually go to the 'concert' to celebrate my 70th birthday in September 2022! An old Led Zepp. fan in SW England.

[@chelseacharger]

There is no surprise that this was the first of the new songs heard. It's very personal in it's lyrics, asking of themselves if they can still create great songs. It's all tied in to the avatar show which these first two songs will feature. We can well imagine the lighters (are they still allowed?) and phones being lit up at the shows for this one. It's also especially poignant for the fans who have continued to follow them all these years. They've still got it.

[@emiliomazzeo4286]

HI GUYS, HOW GOOD WAS THEIR FIRST OPENING COMEBACK SONG. IT WAS BOTH NOSTALGIC AND EMOTIONAL AND BOY OH BOY, WHAT A LOVELY HEARTFELT JOURNEY THE ABBATARS WERE GREAT, BUT THE VOICES WERE THEIRS. THE VOICES RELECTED MATURITY BUT THEY WERE THEIRS AND STILL VERY GOOD EVEN AFTER 40 YEARS.

[@ajayjackson7727]

Great reaction Mike and Ginger 👌 it's great that Abba are back and i think you might like the other 2 new tracks as well, they have that old Abba feel to them. We have tickets for the concert next year but Ginger i agree with you about the avatars because i would prefer to see Abba in concert as they are now because it's not going to be the same even it will probably be a great experience. My cousin used to work with Bjorn Ulvaeus in the 80's on the musical Chess and last year he told me that they were holding auditions in London for Abba lookalikes for a show but at this point we didn't know Abba were reforming. So then when they announced the details about the avatar concert this year it all made sense. If you look closely at Frida in the video near the end of the song you can also see the face of her avatar appear as well and it did freak me out a bit when i seen it. Looking forward to your reactions to their other new songs... ✨✨✨ABBA✨✨✨

[@discogareth]

Funny you mention Star Wars near the end. It’s the George Lucas company Industrial Light and Magic that are making the ABBAtars!

[@Hallzie72]

Hit the nail on the head there. ABBA worked with ILM over the past 4 years to create the ABBAtars. ABBA themselves did the physical performances themselves so it actually isn't really a copy of them, just deaged with the help of CGI magic courtesy of ILM. The reality is the band is in their 70s so unable to endure a lengthy world tour which is understandable.

[@aperinich]

and of course, especially if it helps de-creep you just a little bit, ABBA is doing this themselves so its not just a studio cashing in on their legacy, but they themselves preserving it for well seriously at least a few years of sell-out shows. I think pre-sales for November 2022 are about to come out, but it starts in May and has up to several "sessions" per day. I know its ultra commercial, but ABBA is a commercial band, just one that is endearing and humble enough for people to really not mind giving billions of dollars to... :D

Thanks for the reaction. There's so many of these reactions were I doubt they even know who ABBA is. It's good to see ones like this done by fans. By the time this song dropped it had been put off for so long I really had doubt's. But they couldn't have made a better comback song. They are still truly an amazing band. Thanks again.

[@philrob1978]

Y'know, I had a lot of time for this track to percolate in my mind, but it's now concrete in my mind as an absolute ABBA classic. Wonderfully wistful, melancholic and very moving. Don't Shut Me Down is brilliant as well - the rest of the album is much more low key though and slightly disappointing, but it doesn't matter, after 40 years, we've got two new instant classic tracks to add to their legacy

[@D-ragon-S]

They have in an interview in Swedish television explained why they made the decision to go with ABBAtars. No one wants to see 70+ years members of a Discoband. They said. My guess is also that this prevents touring if anyone of them has an issue with that. Health- or mental that is. Couse touring would come in high demand if they performed live. Much Love 💙💛💙

[@ajayjackson7727]

yeah i know they made that decision but to be honest i think their fans would prefer to see them live and as they are now instead of avatars. Fleetwood Mac are the same ages as Abba and they still tour so really Abba could still tour. It was Benny's son Ludvig who came up with the idea of the avatar concerts and ticket prices being £180-£400 looking back it seems a bot of a rip off because as Ginger mentioned it it is Abba but at the same time it's not them, it's just an illusion.

[@D-ragon-S]

@@ajayjackson7727 Yes, and Rolling Stones are older and still going strong rocking arena's. So I see what you mean. Didn't know about the ticket prices? That's A LOT for a ticket! I think a lot of fans want to have the illusion of them still looking the same. And I kind of do aswell. It's 40 years ago sins they performed.... So going from 30 to 70 is dramatic. Rolling Stones have showed their faces every year so their age is not so obviously changed. Much Love to you Ajay 💙💛💙

I’m amazed that it took till NOW for them to be nominated for a Grammy, but there you have it. “Record of the Year” for ‘I Still Have Faith In You’. Let’s not argue about what place in history ABBA resides in currently. I personally have very mixed feelings about MJ, mainly because of his penchant for hanging out with children.
