ABBA REACTION - Don't Shut Me Down (ABBA New Song Reaction 2021)

[@peterfriel5129]

You can see them live ABBA VOYAGE IN LONDON ..😘

[@johnconway8070]

Nobody but ABBA could come up with harmonies like these. They are so beautiful , so uplifting, so stirring . These brilliant songsters are in a league of their own. They make people *feel* something very profound . Not many artists can claim to be able to create that effect.

[@leifpettsson]

So true!!! They touch your soul with there music.

[@Dodger0103]

True so True

[@robertgieseler1220]

I am absolutely on the same page with EACH and EVERY word you said. This song knocks me off my feet. Youthful and mature at the same time. Love from Germany

[@itsabouttime8680]

No-one does better harmonies than Frida and Agnetha - two voices that are meant to be together - simply the best!

[@rogerramjet5214]

I have loved ABBA for many years.............my favorite pop group behind Pentatonix........their harmonies are iconic...this song made me tear up........god I miss them so much.........thank you for sharing...

[@OG_Wakanobi]

I've kinda been crying all weekend, listening to their music over and over again. What a gift! Thank you ABBA!

You too?

I heard it a few hours ago and cried like a baby. So many emotions both happy and sad, I can't stop listening now..Hearing that amazing sound of the Abba I have always loved..Its like they where never gone x

[@incrodible]

Don't Shut is fABBAulous ! I'll be playing this constantly on my New Zealand radio show .. so melodic, uplifting ..

[@tolun99]

This confirms it. They definitively still got it. The songwriting, the singing, the harmonies, their classic (but more modern) sound. Love it.

[@charlesturner3688]

Now 70 I have been waiting 40 years. Thank you ABBA.

[@erikskifte8862]

I'M A BIG ABBA FAN SINCE 1974. I'M TELLING YOU, THEY ARE BACK STRONGER THAN EVER. THIS IS A NEW MASTERPIECE MONSTER HIT. NO ONE CAN SHUT ABBA DOWN. SOOOOOOO HAPPY 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@Kadolor]

" The World needs ABBA Now", This is soooooooooooooooooooo true! We need LOVE, we need CARE, we need Emotions.

[@emiliomazzeo4286]

THE LYRICS ARE SO PROFOUND AND MEANINGFUL, NOT TO MENTION THEIR VOICES ARE SO GOOD - AFTER SO MANY MANY YEARS. LOVE YOUR REACTION SCHNELL

[@saba6502]

This song gets me happy instantly - and gets me so emotional, because they're BACK! Abba never fail to make you happy...

[@eduardooscar309]

The big global news of this 21st century for the music world is the return of the legendary Swedish pop group ABBA to the recording studios after more than 35 years (the last was "The day before you came") and the edition of his new songs after 39 years (the last was "Under attack") and a new album after almost 40 years (the last was "The Visitors") Beyond that these three data are for the Guines Book of records (I believe that No Group or Singer or Artist can come close to these incredible brands), the most remarkable thing is How they returned, with what level of quality And I must say that ABBA overcame all fears, doubts and expectations Their return is shocking and his quality is still valid "Don't shut me down" it's another surprise from ABBA A pop song was expected, but there were reservations and fears for what it could be (and here I include doubts to the voices of the girls due to their age) And we find a magnificent work The beginning is with Agnetha's voice attacking with the pleasant company of the piano. What Agnetha does in that introduction is anthology, exquisite modulating and using different nuances with her mature voice. Until Benny's signature piano glint (nod to the mega hit "Dancing Queen") and ABBA's typical pop song is with us, with the fans, because the lyrics speak to us. and Agnetha assumes that decoding of almost four decades and gives us her beautiful voice as the strings grow and lead to a memorable chorus with Frida reliving the historic third voice of ABBA But it doesn't end there, the second part adds hooks and a xylophone is added to the bells (a nod to the marimba in "Mamma Mía"), and the pre-chorus has more force with Agnetha and Frida and the violins anticipate the elevation to a chorus triumphant final anthology reminiscent of his greatest hits And it ends with a soft and sweet Agnetha voice and piano melody (nod to "Thank you for the music") Thank for your great reaction and for Your respect to ABBA music now we have a brand new album Voyage that is a worldwide success see in next ABBA vídeo GOD bless You

[@proteusspp]

A beautiful reaction. I cried the first time. This song is like a reference to someone being surprised that after many years he has returned completely different but still the same. Because he wanted to. P.S. I don't think there will be any music videos but there will be concerts at the ABBA Arena in London and I'm going there in August! Sorry for my English.

As good as Agnetha's singing is, so is the instrumentation and song-writing. Absolute masterclass in all facets of the craft.

[@aperinich]

it's perfect

[@lionheartroar3104]

ABBA came back at a very dark time to offer us a glimpse of what happiness is. Thank you ABBA. Truthfully, they are the Swedish Beatles. Timeless, pioneers --unique and essential contributors to popular music. m

[@eduardooscar309]

Beatles are Beatles ABBA are ABBA Beatles & ABBA have your own musical identity as groups Beatles & ABBA are in The Podium of the Greatest Groups in músic history In the 60s the 'Hep Stars' (the initial group of Benny Andersson) was called "The Swedish Beatles"

THE WORLD NEEDS ABBA AND THATS WHY THEY ARE BACK WITH A BANG

[@Rackelhane]

I whent to London in August to se ABBA Voyage..That became an expirience of a life time. The crowd whent nuts..some cried..a lot where dancing and the ABBA tars where amazing. The ABBA tars have impoved a lot since The video they first releast. Today its almost imopssible to se that they are not real. 👍

[@jonnyberggren4598]

ABBA all between 71-76 years...Still touches hearts..Shows that pop music doesn't have to be privileged to just young performers... And who other band can take a break 39 years and come back like this...They are some of the richest people in music in Sweden. So they definitely not doing it for the money... They all are such humble and friendly. And as a Swede born early 70s I am very proud to say. That their music was around me all my upbringing..

[@josnova68]

Im balling my eyes out now i cant believe how good the songs still are, Coming from a 50 years + Abba Fan, Australia catapulted Abba to Fame when they Toured in 1977 They were ridicolous massive here in Australia Thats where all there Hit songs went to Number 1, Dissapointed that there Voyage tour isnt here in Australia First why did they choose England First, Abba now should continue making there Gorgeous Music and do not STOP PLEASE Love Em To Death, Coming From A True Blue Aussie Guy Down Under

[@caribeandude1]

I adore your reaction and your appreciation for this iconic group. I have been a big ABBA fan since the 70's and I am so glad that they're back after 40 years and have given the world this amazing new collection of songs. Seeing young people like yourself enjoying and reacting to their music is very special. They have given us so many wonderful songs through the years and now a whole new generation is able to enjoy their music. I hope they win a Grammy. They more than deserve is and way overdue.

[@albertlopez4956]

Can't help getting emotional on ABBA return and their honest story.

[@martinhumble]

I broke down when I heard the songs. Even my young son! This is incredible. I've met Björn and Benny a few times, and I was sure ABBA never would record again. And now this - and soooooo great!!!!!

[@kwchalky02]

Brilliant song. One of their best, and one of the best. Simply superb! 👍

[@donyjunior]

This music is simply amazing. And, with that avatars, it seems that we have ABBA forever now.

[@johnmcaleer7099]

My god!!they just make your heart smile😍

[@williamgranero8239]

I can not describe the happiness that I'm experiencing. Abba has been an important part of my life. I feel as if I had been in darkness and all of the sudden saw the light. I can not even describe how happy I am. Abba to me is life. love, hope, happiness, a bright present and a wonderful future.

[@Hallzie72]

G'Day from Australia. Always love your honest reactions, Schnell. I remember growing up in a household filled with ABBA music as my mother was an avid fan and had a large collection of their albums. I sadly lost Mum to cancer 3 yrs ago, so this new music from ABBA has filled me with nostalgic tears and happy memories of my childhood. Thank You ABBA.

[@redalf5405]

Wow, with these new songs ABBA touches the souls and hearts of people around the world - and not only of the baby boomer generation which grew up with their songs in 70s and early 80s (but maybe they feel a little bit more touched). Only ABBA are able to create songs for eternity, which can make you cry and smile at the same time. All we need is love - and more ABBA songs.

[@carinalindberg7377]

I'm a Swede born in 1970, my most formative years were centered around ABBA and their music. As a life creation coach focused on mind, body and heart I work with a lot of different tools, including tools for healing your inner child. Well, ABBAs comeback is healing inner children all over the world. We all carry childhood traumas to different degrees and the combination of their classic sound, the lyrics about accepting transformation and growth, and the fact that they are actually making a, brilliant, comeback is moving stuck emotions, stuck energies, all over the world. ABBA is raising the vibration of the world, helping us release resistance, moving us into the future. I'm sure you've heard about the ABBAtars by now! There is another video out there of this song showing how it's done. Thanks for the reaction, Schnell! 🥰🙏

[@guyinnyc1]

Yesss! So well said!

[@barryh.4220]

ABBA FOREVER .... Absolutely brilliant song!

[@zinoidaearnshaw4913]

I cry every time i hear this song it brings back so many happy memories when i went out with my 2 sisters dancing to Abba. They both died young and god do i miss them but thank you Abba for the memories x

[@ExperiencedGhost]

I don't know how you experience Abba at your young age. You haven't lived the late 70's and 80's with Abba's music. You didn't had the new released song "I have a dream" playing in the background at the diner table at Xmas. Everyone kept quiet when they were on TV in a music video or in a program. We were concentrated because THEY were in front of our eyes, and we listened in awe to the song. It didn't matter which one, as long it was Abba's. Many of us of the old days cried hearing that song "Don't shut me down", so hard to understand. Each one has his own story why that is. Mine I think is because it took me back to my childhood where my mom was still alive, where my beloved cat was still alive, where I really could enjoy music and danced in the street with others on Abba's music and others without shame. Me, a boy. Where life was simpler and we played outside, we were not slaves of technology. We were free in a sense. We had a phone with a wire but were free, now they have a phone without a wire and they are not free. We played outside, we didn't needed a chatroom to meet someone virtually, instead we met each other in person, in the flesh. Yes, much have changed. With Abba here again for just one full record... to experience that before I go to sleep and join them... in one word... heavenly.

[@Pedro-im1tt]

Dopo 40 anni sono ritornati alla grande con due fantastici brani in loro stile ..!! Fantastici ABBA .. GRAZIE..!

[@georgeprime2249]

I've never seen so many smiles since they came back.

[@danielolson5378]

Despite both Agnetha and Annifrid have done music on their own on and off these past 40 years they haven't been touring singing night after night. That's one reason why their voices still sound so good up until today and their harmonizing is just like back in the days just like their like piano trade mark!! During next year they will do a like virtual reality tour called ABBA the hologram tour. It will be like a journey back in time to 1979.

[@guteronkelpeter]

As a fan who has been following ABBA since 1974, I can only say: No, it would be unfavorable if they were to perform live today. All the members of ABBA have aged gracefully. It would destroy my memories of the time when they (ABBA) had their best time (1970s and 1980s). That's why the idea of having them perform as avatars is just brilliant ! The music, which is by Benny Andereson and Björn Ulveas, is as good as we are used to from ABBA. You can easily and quickly access this title and enjoy the successful work. I am also pleased that ABBA is obviously also in the U.S. today a great attention. I assume that you are from the USA. Is that right ? That was - I think - not always so ! I see: There is a second song by ABBA: I still have Faith in You. It would also be important if you would take up this song - if you haven't already done so. Thank you for your contribution here.

[@Zentrix-24]

Abba fan forever and to still sound awesome is in itself awesome. This song sends chills down my spine, am I in the 70's again ??

[@eduardomolli5860]

Exactly, the world need ABBA

[@marksharmanmusic1]

I cried with these two new songs and then when the album came out. OMG I wish my folks were still around to hear it all

[@lenaengell8528]

Sweden, Sweden, Sweden, what talents you create! What is it with this little country in the North? Answer: one of their treasures is / has been that they have a natural aptitude for singing and for music in general. It is in their genes. See for example "allsång på Skansen", Stockholm, where they meet and sing together once a week in the summertime. And their people's soul goes very, very deep. ABBA was one of the very first artists to be known outside of Scandinavia. A big hug from Norway, neighbour of Sweden.

[@Rackelhane]

This is like meeting a good old friend after 40 years..Hits me right in the face..and I cant hold back the tears.. What the fuck!😍

[@MsFyhn]

I totally agree with your review ... it's such a nice song...I absolutely love it! I grew up listening to ABBA and I can't believe that so many years has gone. When I started to hear Don't Shut Me Down, my four year old daugther came to me and said 'Mum, how can they sing SO nice? I like this song very much'. So my daugther and I (from Denmark) would like to thank ABBA and say THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC :) Now she wants to hear this song every night before she goes to sleep ❤️

[@Blueridge1961]

Very cute reaction video... Not too much talking like others, one can read the emotions from your smiling face... Very nice! What regards your (understandable) wish for a live-video, I think we all must accept, that they all became old people, and especially Agnetha and Anni-Frid are not willing to show up live and being compared with their images 40 years ago... I understand this, although in my opinion, even with their age of 70 plus they are still very attractive ladies... :-))

[@paulecrosby2006]

What a brilliant record ♥

🧡 ABBA ! PLATINUM There are already deejays remixing this song making extended dance versions. At 65, and a member of the generation that helped propel ABBA to global stardom, not only are they reaffirming what we knew all along, the lyrics express that they have come to know, that magic never died. I'm ready for the dance floor as if I'm in my 20s again. May both new songs, and the entire album, achieve PLATINUM for ABBA. They're so deserving for this marvelous comeback, for how great they sound and for continuing the ABBA magic - truly at a time the world needs some magic. Thank you, Schnell. And thank you to all the generations that have come after mine to keep ABBA alive. For the love of music, and ABBA - Peace.
