  • This is a fantastic song, one of ABBA's best. I always enjoy listening to it.

  • This song has a magical potency which is hard to define. The sheer quality of the music puts ABBA on a par with the great songwriters of classical music such as Schubert, Richard Strauss and Tchaikovsky albeit the sound and the style of music are totally different. Talking of Tchaikovsky, do I detect something Russian like a balalaika playing in the background?

  • ABBA - super!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ABBA ****** THE STANDARD FOR POP MUSIC ********

    MAGNIFICENT IN EVERY WAY

  • This is one of the best songs of ABBA. OK they all are the best but i do like this one.

  • magic,amazing...just beautiful...abba will last forever!

  • 16 долбоёбов .а я такой весь ,сцуко ,Дартаньян,блять.Один хер ,меня здесь никто не поймёт.Всётакиж классно быть русским ...)))))))))))))))))))))))))))­))))))))))) кто ржал,тот бухнул со мной.)))))))))))))))))))))))))­))

  • 16 -ти не понравилось что?  ....девочка или песня? а девочка ...да и песня офигительны.

  • ...i'am brasil, and loooooooove abba ;)

  • This is a simply brilliant song by the best pop group ever, some nice pictures to go with it :-) ABBA rule

  • hier heb ik de foxtrot op geleerd

  • Abba is Abba and nothing else can compar with them....

  • Quite a nice set of pictures with a lovely song ABBA are the best there is no denying that :-)

  • As the fella said when they begged for a reunion and world tour.... remember the good times. Viva Abba! :)))

  • they are amazing

  • WOW /Agnetha is showing some tits hier.

  • The world needs ABBA!!!

  • yep, Sweden is a super country and Abba a super band.

    Both go's to show what hard work and social justice can do...

  • Quelle chanson... Quel groupe... Une légende assurément.

  • which 2 have died from ABBA?

  • No one. All of them are alive.

  • @nmsaldanha thanks 

  • @0022cookie noone of them!!!

  • Le chant du cygne pour le groupe ABBA : tout en finesse.

  • one of the best vocals in the World..Yes, 30 ago..and today

  • One of my favourite ABBA songs. Amazes me how quality music like this has only had just over 657,000 views, and yet rubbish like Lady Gaga has over 300 million!!! Will people still be listening to her in 30 years...errrrrrr no!!

  • @anthonyroberthill sorry my English is not good. I think if youtube had existed in the 80's, and showing videos of ABBA would require mathematical exponents, for how many people see ABBA. right?

  • @anthonyroberthill i really love abba and this song, but i dont understand the nature of your post. this song came out 30+ years ago, rendering it unexposed to todays listeners, who are exposed to lady gaga and other "rubbish" more frequently. if this was 30 years ago, this song and other abba songs probably would have 300 million views, because it was new then. And why put gaga down? its possible to like both, and i bet in 30 years people will be listening to her, and this alike. hater.

  • @livelovepotter I don't understand the nature of your post either! What do u mean that Abba is unexposed to todays listeners..???? They're plenty of radio stations that are not shackled to the charts and play are variety of music form the 60's, 70's etc... Gaga was put down because she purely uses sex to sell his/her songs, if she were truly talented then she wouldn't need to resort to wearing next to nothing all the time. Hater!

  • how does one know a song or a group is outstanding? when you never get tired of hearing their music. such is ABBA, along with other groups such as the 4 seasons. elo, etc. Good music is indeed MAGIC. did u know that harvard university did a study and concluded that music can affect your mind just like illegal drugs that some people think they need to get a high?

  • these people are God's gift to all music lovers...great!

  • Guys, I remember when I used to listen to this masterpiece song with some friends.

    Unfortunately two of them have died but Jorge who was a big fan of Dione Warwick used to cry a lot everytime I played "One Of Us" - The truth is that he was a real crybaby but Jorge has admited several times that even Dione could never convey so much emotion in a song. The five of us used to be in the living room sitting in the floor listening to this song for several times. Oh! I want those days back.

  • So thrue!

  • I remember when I was little I always told my mom to put ABBA on the tape player. I've loved them since I was little. <3 Best ever.

  • How can someone not love ABBA?

  • Great bass playing on this track.

  • Fin Gudo naame teno. Kal wudo ben ti. E wudo tu calco a suo faco. Fin tu ki faco con alen suo glori. Ke tu perunti fin teno tu giusto ona kezuto, :DDDD

  • So much sadness in their eyes, reflects the mood in the lyrics, a beautiful song, so well presented by Abba in a way in which only they could carry off.

  • Best Abba song but awful video

  • Great upload of a fantastic song, than you.

  • @1963lilian my story is similar; ;( I didn't understand this song before your comment; It's like a part of my life with a little difference - the man who I love didn't understand me and my feelings, my reasons; he let me go ;(

  • All wonderful things come to an end listen to this song and Winner takes it all and it was very relevent . They were at the end in every single way semi autobiographical. It makes one want to cry listening to it.

  • how did you add the artist thing under the likes and dislikes??

  • To whomever are ashamed of liking ABBA, they are, alongside The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, the most selling band of all time !! And the reason is very simple: they had two of the best songwriters out there and two of the best female singers.

  • @baredas Well said. These are all acclaimed musicians. Frida and Agnetha were great vocalists and the multi-voiced harmonies unequalled. A truly memorable pop group. Agnetha did some solo stuff not so long ago and she sounds as good as back then.

  • I've tattoed ABBA in my heart many, many years ago....

  • This song relates to a particular time in my life...I left the only man who ever loved me...and now, even twenty years on,,,,I still feel the loneliness and still regret getting on a plane and moving to another country. The words really touch my heart even now..

  • Comment removed

  • @1963lilian

    Damn................I did the same stupid thing, and I feel the loneliness though.

    I made the same stupid mistake...................stil­­l miss herr, and this song hits me right in the heart.

    I left the only girl who ever loved me!

  • This song relates to a particular time in my life...I ieft the only man who ever loved me...and now, even twenty years on,,,,I still feel the loneliness and still regret getting on a plane and moving to another country. The words really touch my heart even now..

  • Comment removed

  • Why are all people saying that Frida is more beautiful then Agnetha? Agnetha is like an angel.

  • 0:13 Agnetha!!!! S:

  • I don't get why people won't admit that they love ABBA, theres nothing to be ashamed of! You should only be ashamed if you can see the magic in their songs, and don't cry a little on the inside when you hear this song.

    Love you ABBA<3

  • @musicbabyable My friends ask me 'You like ABBA?' whenever I say my favourite songs are by them.

  • @HughTheB12 And you are still friends with them??!!!!:D (*Can't see the magic in their songs)

  • @musicbabyable and what are you doing listening ??? i mean this song it s not new

  • Cuanta belleza.Este tema y The winner takes it all,me han gustado mucho siempre.Y tambien me gustan muchos otros, pero este es tan especial. ABBA le gusta a todo el mundo, y los doce que han marcado que no, no se enteran. Ellas dos cantan tan bien,las canciones son bonitas y estan bien hechas.Chiquitita, Thanks for the music,dancing queen,Voulez vou,Fernando, I have a dream,Waterloo,Gimme gimme...Leí que nirvana escuchaban abba y beatles de viaje en la furgoneta. !Cobain¡ Le gustaba abba.

  • very beautifull song

  • tohle nemá chybu, nádherné

  • I remember singing this song when I was a little kid with my mum when we were decorating our old house.... Memories! Now I'm older and I can pick apart the lyrics, it is simply beautiful

  • I don't know if these four Swedes have the notion of what they have done.

    I think they don't just because their simplicity.

    Nothing compares to ABBA.

    They are magic, this is the only explanation I might find to try to understand how these four Swedes were able to create such a wonderful band

  • @Elluskivs

    Beautiful Splendid Gorgeous Love them always will .

  • @bubs101able

    You were so kind to me. Thank you very much, but I only write what I really feel.

    With regards to ABBA, of course their talent and their music have conquered whole world but it is plain to see that their simplicity helped them too. That's why almost all artists of this world have a deep respect to ABBA and sometimes they just don't respect ABBA only, they adore ABBA from the deep of their hearts too just like I do.

  • @Elluskivs Hi yes kindness is my Middle name and quiet rare for some English in todays world but as a Male born of the year 66 i love ABBA because they are so warm imotionly moving songs and remind me of Much much better times i wish for ABBA time could be reversed i recently made a distant friendship with a Lutuaian lady and i do feel some Cultures do put my own to same i Guess im the near last of the English Gent ? have the best parents any one could wish Brought me up to respect and cherrish

  • @Elluskivs - I do agree with you, I so much love them, their music, the lyrics, the two girls so charming and talented, No sophistication of any kind is needed when there is so much to say and to show in beauty and simplicity. I can't get bored listening to them relentlessly. Sweeden is a magnificent country, with very kind people and an amazing proportion of beautifull bleu eyed and blond girls. This group is emblematic of this country's charm.

  • @Elluskivs Actually, Anni-Frid Lyngstad is a Norwegian citizen and is of Norwegian and German descent. She is the only non-Swedish member of ABBA.

  • @Elluskivs just lovely , just wonderful comment , thank you .you exactly said what should be said about ABBA , the greatest band of all ..

  • Everytime I listen to this song I think I'll die of emotion. I hate to cry but it is impossible to hold the tears when I listen to this song. It is so beautiful, so emotional that it could be a symphony. The girls sing it in a way that only ABBA is able to do. Can't stop loving this song - Impossible to forget ABBA.

  • when I first saw this and seen Frida I though oh no whats she done to her hair, sorry but this look, and she kept it for years did not suit her at all,

  • ABBA ..... thank you for the music .

  • I,ve never seen some of the pictures before,well done mate,superb posting

  • It is unfortunate that there are no more music like this, anymore. :(

  • I cried strongly ,one of the most beautiful memories of my life

    I remembered the people i loved them enough Strongly

  • The best group that has existed, just love ABBA.

  • i've grown up listening to their songs and actually learning english from them, although abba are not native speakers, and my childhood was in the 90s

  • I always found this to be among their most heartbreaking songs...I think the grief is quite genuine here, and it transpires, musically as well as lyrically. Awesome.

  • I have been crying a lot lately; I am grateful to my friend for sending me this!

  • 12 of us

    viewers cant read lol

    ha ha ha

  • ♥ Awesome ♥

  • what is it about this song that gets too your inside makes me feel very emotional about my break up with my 20tr relationship feel so lonely

  • ABBA one of the best group in the world... :)

  • yeeeea Abba!

  • Another song I like and group.

  • Just noticed that's not a VEVO upload. Didn't thought that this was possible, but now I like it even more!

  • abba was awsome! miss that group!

  • awesome song!

  • This is one of my favourite ABBA songs, I think is perfect in all senses, but not very well known, so!! This happens to many good artists, best songs are sometimes those which are not very well known, like this one.

  • @IGGARU

    this is beautiful......and our little secret:)

  • @IGGARU i agree...

  • spamhead2k: You wondered who plaed the bass. His name is Rutger Gunnarson. He played on almost all of abbas records. (and even on tours..)

  • this is my favourite song of ABBA

  • She has an incredible voice. Is she human ?

  • Who played bass on this?

  • @spamhead2k

    It was rutger gunnerson,just the best,complicated bass lines for a bass player to follow,full of octaves and vitality,just listen to 'put on your white sombrero'and take in all the accentuations etc,just class!

    I have followed his playing since the seventies,i am now a retired 54 year old bass player and learning all the while,love Frida also!

  • change the title and it would be a good song

  • Just plain beautiful...Abba truly was in a league all their own

  • Not the version that I was looking for, but fab nevertheless.

  • It is among the best ABBA songs.

  • agneta donna bellissima ed unica

  • This is based on facts on what was happening with Abba at the time same with Winner Takes It all.

  • How sad! I wish we all could back in time. Hell getting old. But these two beautiful remain just that, beautiful !

  • i like music

  • to me agnetha was one of the most beautiful women in the world ..along with gaypyee westerhoff, and anna ohura...just an opinion

  • Rats! I forgot to use my thesaurus to write "...wise use of the tuba EFFECT by Rutger Gunnarsson..and he mandolin EFFECT..." Don't get out much, & us guys in the woods, well, we're not tech-minded & all, so we just compliment the musicians and singers on the quality we hear & how it affects us...sorry..will try to do better next time.

  • One of the best songs ever written. Too many memories that brings me to tears. Knowing that it will one day turn into tears and living to see the end is just too hearbreaking.

  • This song is just a shadow of Agnetha's real life, sweet angel; the most beautiful woman.

  • The wise use of the tuba ?

  • @TheTowerBridgeFox RE: the tuba. If you listen closely you'll hear that it's the synthesizer. But I agree it's a great use of that tone color. These guys were master arrangers.

  • W O N D E R F U L

  • I can agree that "The Winner Takes It All" is one of their best songs for its total composition, but "One of Us" is the one that follows and haunts me every single day. The wise use of the tuba gives me a "carnival" sensation, and the sound of mandolins gives a longing for Italy. The genius songwriting coupled with what I believe to be the most brilliant pair of voices for leading vocals in music history will never be equaled. Not even close.

  • Absolutely wonderful....

  • This song made me cry when I was little. I,m 35 now and it still gets me everytime :-)

  • I was born in 1980 and used to listen to Abba in the back of my mum and dads car in the middle 1980's. Now I LOVE Abba! x x x x Thanks mom and dad :-)

  • This song makes me cry every time I hear it

  • 11 people whas no taste in music

  • no1 abba song, love it

  • Love Benny and Bjorn's song writng and composing talents even though it was the girls voices that made ABBA truly special ....if i could play and write music it would be like Benny and Bjorn probably more then any other musical artists outside maybe John Lennon.

  • ABBA and IKEA, all great Swedish exports

  • @breadbaker226

    Ericson

    Volvo

    Scania.....

    ;)

  • @voderick Saab, But not Nokia...

  • The best ABBA song ever They are missed so much

  • The best ABBA song ever They are missed somuch

  • Makes me cry !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • So emotional, love it. Agnetha my angel.

  • Great craftsmen and great singers. The perfect pop-package. They are the top pop band of the 70´s without a doubt. Timeless music. The number of world-class hits they produced is unbelievable really........

  • I love ABBA !

  • The song is beautiful. In the original video are all sad: I think it was the intention, but in reality was not different.. ABBA as 2 couples in life finally ended. And shortly afterwards, in music. too. But the music remained, and we are here. Everything is changing and we did. Move on......... Nicely done. Keep well. (I was an ABBA teenager too)

  • @raducha23 I love this song.

  • In the beginning, her voice reminds me of the little mermaid! :D

  • Yeah, it's wonderful singing. What a pity it is that it all belongs to the past. Alas...

  • They Are classic. & Their music is soo amazing! :D <3

  • somebory have this song in spanish?

  • I LOVE THIS SONG...

  • This music makes me wanna buy a Volvo...

    Beautifull song, beatifull ladys, Anni and Agnetha, i was in love for them, in my youth, well i think i still in love rigth now, dammit i'm married...

  • Love that song!

  • mpm111144 thanx for the video i love it xxx

  • This was one of my favourite songs and I was only 9 years old at that time! I'm now 38 and still love Abba! I loved this song so much that dear dad would listen to this song every day with me, bless his cotton socks, pressing play/pause so I could write down the lyrics (& then he taped me singing it! oh gawd!). Memories. I will have to ask him to see if he remembers!

  • mpm111144.I totally agree with you they are amazing and i am a 67 year old woman xx

  • @chrisjovi1 :) You have very good taste.

  • To pull off a reggae/string song with somewhat cheesy lyrics like this, and really make it moving is truly great!

  • @jensj2 CHEESY!!!!!!!! How dare you!??????? Nothing cheesy AT ALL about ABBA!!!

  • adoro!

  • my heart is singing , crying and smiling with ABBA.

    Respect from ROMANIA!

  • @branzanmihai and BULGARIA too! :)))

  • @zezopetkov ffels like the seventies all over again

  • @branzanmihai, AMEN... Best wishes from São Paulo, Brazil.

  • The best, cutest and most realistic song about love and heartbreak I've heard ... Abba has always been and will be the best band of all time

  • sounds like a sweet Russian lullaby :))

  • Good music, bad video. Give us the real thing!

  • I hear this song and something died inside me. My need is so great that I recognize it is impossible, the unattainable love of a star, Agnetha.

  • Lokk at segment 0:31 and you will see an Angel, the most beautiful Angel, Agnetha.

  • the first time i heard it was a cover by us5 :DD

    and i loved it..

    and then i heard it by abba.. and i am speechless.. i absolutly love this song and abba :DD

    but i think the us5 cover is better :D

  • Uno mentía, uno pretendía. One was lying, one was pretending. Agnetha was the lonely one all the time. 

  • They were very good!!!this song is my favourite from Abba....Too bad they've broke up...:((

  • Comment removed

  • muito louco , the best , lindo show ,

  • increible que esta cancion no haya tenido exito en los ee uu alla por 1981, de su ultimo album visitors, creo que es una de las mas hermosas melodias de abba, ya esta en mis "melodias ochenteras" aqui en youtube escuchalas musica seleccionada para oidos exigentes.

  • Hi- DieByVengeance.

    

  • Anyone who says they don't like ABBA are losers. They think they're "cool" saying ABBA sucks. ABBA are true Lyricists and musicians, just listen to the words to the songs. They all tell a story. I Love Them

  • @csk122 -

    I think there are more closet ABBA fans, than admitted fans. My car broke down years ago, and my male boss who was all Tony Soprano like badass picked me up. He had ABBA on his tape deck playing "Super Trouper".

    I was like OMG.

    I don't think they will get back together, kind of like the Smiths-if they both get back together I think we can safely say -The end is near.

  • Despertar en la noche y tratar de encontrarla sabiéndola tan lejos. Cuan grande es mi ensueño, cuan grande mi angustia, Agnetha.

  • anmaree: I would suggest that you tell your "music snob friends" that being unable to appreciate ABBA is like being unable to appreciate Mozart. And if you cannot appreciate Mozart, you would be well adviced to not speak of music at all.

  • Love a star like Agnetha is so incredible, still she lives in my heart.

  • This song is about ABBA's breakup...

    ABBA is one of those very few bands that didn't broke up because they ran out of succes,but because things didn't worked good among them and they took the right decision...

  • 10 unfortunate people missed the like button. What a shame

  • @addiekaitlin nah, they're just deaf, dumb AND blind :))

  • @addiekaitlin  agree!!

  • @addiekaitlin Them 10 people are not One of Us.

  • @addiekaitlin

    Don't get it. What do you mean ?

  • Puuuuuuuuuur genieten !!

  • Abba Makes Me cry They are the best of all my life I can listen over constantly. I absolutly love them They were such beautiful people / singers

  • Thank you ABBA for making me feel alive !!!

  • Everyone who loves ABBA (even if only on certain occasions, LOL) should watch "Muriel's Wedding". It's so much better than Mamma Mia!!!
