  • .. and rattling on the roof i must have heard the sound of rain..

  • What is so incredible about Abba?-They, a Swedish group entered "Eurovision" singing about British History in English and then took the World by storm singing in English. 1) Would they have been so successful singing in Swedish, and unknown. 2) Where the hell were the British composers? Abbas songs take universally accepted chord structures (of which this is a classic) 1-4-5 + relative major & minors. All music-whatever the genre-is based upon this from the earliest Hymns thro Elton to Eminem.

  • TOP NOTCH

  • Excellent...

  • Exccellent...

  • Uma das melhores músicas de minha vida.

  • Agnetha the most beautiful women with a realy angelic voice.

  • One of my ABBA fav songs, great performance, great editing love the ending.. thanks for sharing with us.. 2 thumbs up. :)

  • she's the most beautiful woman ever.

  • The kind of intricate lyrics in a song you rarely find in todays popular music? Yes, I would thinks so........

    Greetings from Göteborg,Sweden

  • REALLY GOOD WORK!!!! CONGRATS!!!! :D

  • True art is like the cruel grandmother who beats her grand-daughter--every tear of which becomes a pearl! How heart-wrenching to realize that this beautiful love song was the swan song for ABBA! Even in the beauty of the poignant feelings and in the carefully crafted sniplets in the video--there is the piercing realization that breakup (and divorce?) were occurring within ABBA even as this song was created! When day dies it produces a glorious sunset just as boredom of life precedes intense joy!

  • Best version of this song yet! ABBADiego you did a remarkable job! I've viewed 5 or 6 other versions of this song--and they don't even come close! The visual and audio are well-matched...the video picture quality is superb! The sound of the singer is not drowned out by the crowd's loud interferences...The 'extended' clip (train insert) should be included in this video song (as you have done) --unlike the other versions I've seen. All in all--I'm pleased! Excellent version of excellent song!?Thxs

  • @albertphd Thank you. I am glad you noticed the amount of work that went into this special edit. It took me as I recall, 5 days work to get it right.

    Thanks for your kind comments!

  • @albertphd superb job. well done. this really is abbas masterpiece.

  • This is ABBAs masterpiece!

  • como é bom relembrar os velhos tempos! parabéns para quem postou esta linda música!, e este lindo vídeo!!!.

  • esta música é d+, muito linda!, parabéns pra você abbadiego, como é bom saber que tem gente que gosta dessas músicas antigas!...

  • I have listened to this song over a million times .... totally in love with it! And as someone before me commented .... It's a unique song.... to emphasize an idea, undermine its complement.... what an Idea ABBA!

  • Esta cancion la comence a escuchar desde que tenia 9 años y ya estaba enamorado de la mujer........no de una......de todas, de lo que inspiran, de lo que ocasionan, de lo que significan en la vida, de lo que nos hacen capaces, y a veces incapaces, amo a la mujer por lo que es y porque alrededor de ella gira todo el universo, y no me canso de repetir, el hombre lo hace y lo deja de hacer todo por la mujer.......las adoro.....

  • ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS EVER WRITTEN AND SANG BY ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN EVER BORN!!! MAGNIFICENT!!!

  • agnetha is the most beautiful woman ever...

  • I just love ABBA, I remember when this song was released, chilling sad song taken from the album the first ten years. This was the end of ABBA just after the single Under Attack. There was an album planned, but i think they gave up on the idea and just stuck to a greatest hit album.

  • OMG Agnetha.... at 3:02 *faints*

  • Why do I found this lonely song so profound and chillingly beautiful ?

    ..

    It is such a tour de force of song writing, every element just comes together to conjure up the very loneliness every single human on earth who has ever experienced the extremes of loneliness and love at last .. it truly touches deep into the very existence of each living person in this world ..

    The loneliness of existence is truly beautifully contrasted by the act of finding true love ..

  • Abba have always been and still are massively underrated. Great song but all their music is great too.

  • I keep coming back to this song! "Oh, yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame, the day before you came..." "...the latest one by Marilyn French, or something in that style..." I mean, who writes at this level of quality today?  And NOBODY can deliver the song better than she can, standing in one spot, wry smiles, raised eyebrows, storytelling at its best...

  • I discovered this song a few months ago on youtube and return to it frequently.I wonder how I could have missed it first time round when I was at school in the

    80`s?I love the sad,elegant and understated lyrics, and the classical undertones

    of the backing vocals which seem to imply that the song is a requiem for the group.

  • Beautiful !!! 

  • A grand song from the Swedes - depressing lyrics, but still utterly, utterly amazingly grand!

  • i say what a stunning song ......sheer class...

  • If interested to get a ABBA tribute track made up by 15 ABBA song titles - Hey You Ring Me Tonight" by The Airwaves. A first version still FREE to download at

    riverside-records.se/artistsid­a/airwaves.htm

    together with artwork by "Abba cartoonist" Hans Arnold R.I.P

  • This song is stunning! She sings magnificently of what my life was before my future spouse showed up.

  • I played the vcr tape so many times it broke and I fixed it with tape. I was 14 years old and still today this song gives me the chills. What I would do today to see them live.

  • I simply just love it!

  • Way beyond magnifique! Agree with everyone of these heartfelt comments.

  • OMG there are some gorgeous visuals in this video =) and what a stunning song too!

  • Mesmerising. My favourite ABBA track, one that I can listen to for hours. A stunning piece of music and magnificent musicianship. Just how beautiful was Agnetha?

     What amazing talent this group had.

    Was this their last single? Im sure it was.

  • @LeeStaffs1 Hi! I couldn't agree more... TDBYC was their next to last single, the very last one being Under attack.

  • Agnetha is a living angel, the most beautiful woman ever. My dream.

  • Oh Agnetha baby, supa-yummy mummy or what? Only 33 there! I always thought she looked her best in the final ABBA year of 1982. I love the way she smiles at the guy on the platform! The most womanly, sexy smile every captured on film! This song is a timeless classic from '82 which was a year I loved! Both ABBA and '82 slipped away together and I landed on boring old '83! It can be mixed nicely into Leonard Cohen's 'Everybody Knows' which I always thought sounded similar in rhythm.

  • When the singing was pure, When melody means music,,,

    Not much more can be added

  • MAJESTIC!

  • Jó lenne megint fiatalnak lenni! I Love You ABBA !

  • ABBA is was and always will be, pop legends.

  • Damn, when Agnetha put is towng out i all must past out

    i love you Agnetha

    i am not a freak

  • @jotacarlosvega You're not a freak. Just overcome by audio / visual perfection. Enjoy, and share it. :)

  • ABBA - The Legend from the days when music was THE REAL MUSIC!

  • Best song off all times........ever!

  • I want to cry when I listen to this song.....

    Thanks to you, ABBA., stars of my youth!!!

    I love you ...

    Greetings from Turkey...

  • Look at that unbelievably beautiful face. Unbelievable!!

  • So beautiful, it just makes me cry for some reason. Her voice and face just touch my heart.

  • one of the last abba songs to be released. i just love the lyrics to it and also a sadness to it. wish they would reform and do a concert in london i would be happy.

  • Agnetha gosto de todas as musicas dos abba mas esta sempre foi especial para mim,adoro-te.

  • was she crying ?

  • haunting

  • I think she is undoubtedly the most beautiful woman to ever be born. She had the face that people pay plastic surgeons thousands to try and achieve.

  • @gal5131 Ohhhh yes she is.

  • @gal5131 Agreed 100 %....There is nothing you could do to make her face better ! That face is a work of art that has captured many a mans heart and will continue to do so as long as these videos are alive and well.I can never get tired of looking into those eyes.Ecstacy ! Peace !

  • Fabulous performance! Love this song, at first listen sounds pretty simple but when you listen to the lyrics properly you realise what a stunningly intelligent pop song it is.

  • what clip is from 5:00 - 5:56 ?

    is it from a music video?

  • @beefamous2 It's from the original video to The Day Before You Came

  • Because I always do

  • BRILLIANT SOUND QUALITY!!!

  • Love You Agnetha

  • This is the most heartbreaking record I've ever heard and tells me women who haven't found their life partner are as lost as us men, But wasn't if based on that stunning book The spy who loved me, It;s a very simiilar diary.

  • STUNNING performance, such a wonderfully melancholic sound and heartbreakingly beautiful vocals...my favourite ABBA song. What happened the original video that was on youtube?

  • I LOVE this performance, it stils gives me goosebumps, but what happened the original video? it was a here a while ago

  • A group that was way ahead of their time....

  • My life was like this music before hear you singing. Thank you Agnetha. I love you :)

  • te amo agnetha...

  • BRILLIANT!!!!

    

  • I love this song so much...Its beautiful..Their music changed alot after 1980 the lyrics started becoming more meaniful and thoughtful. If you listen to Waterloo or Dancing queen then listen to this you would almost think it was a different group!

  • It sounds a bit like Francoise Hardy's "Comment Te Dire Adieu". I love how Agnetha sings this with such contained rage -- very dramatic.

  • My days will not pass ever witnessing such a great fucking love song. Alrighty.

  • This is one of the most unusual love songs ever written: a celebration of love without a word of praise for love, only an indirect reference to a day when someone came and overturned the dull and ordinary life of a woman...but you can see the light from that day on...the unsaid is stronger than any obvious and worn out word. Terrific work of art!!!

  • @ridingeagle

    Yours' one of the most sensible comments. And "terrific work of art" is the definitely the ultimate truth about this tearing piece of poetry.

  • @ridingeagle Agree wholeheartedly...it is so uncanny, but she sings so magnificently of my life before my future spouse showed up...

  • FINALLY!!!! This song is here!!! My favourite Nr.1 Perfect harmony of romance and rock music!!!

  • From Heaven this music must be....

    

  • @Zjaguarxxx

    Not "must be". "Is". Now that's no real surprise if you recognise an angel in Miss Fältskog.

  • Why did ABBA not reform after their January 1986 appearance? Benny and Bjorn thought that ABBA were not popular anymore, how wrong were they! Even today they should reform for a one off appearance, people don't expect them to jump around the stage like they used to, just seeing them back together for one final time would be enough to satisfy the vast majority of fans.

  • PURE GOLD!!!!

  • bellissima Agnetha, bellissima la song e l'interpretazione , meravigliosa come sempre

  • Sensational Abba !

  • This video shows that Agnetha is the most sexy and most beautiful of all time, beautiful Agnetha.

  • This is an AMAZING AMAZING song.

    Swedes speak excellent English, but even so, this is a remarkable song on so many levels, and always makes me cry around 3:40 : ) What a pity their best work came at the end.

  • ABBADiego thanks for this sharing, we had not yet seen a performance delivered as live of this their most clever story told in an immaculate delivery. Sad the song didn't get the status in history of a world number one

  • Best lyrics I've ever heard .. Steven Wilson did a great cover but still , the original song KICKS ASS !

  • Agnetha 3:04

    xD

  • Gyönyörű.....!!!

  • Best ABBA song !!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++

  • best quality sound and vision, thanks for posting.

  • Brilliant song.One of my favourite by Abba

  • This is magic! ABBAcadabra!!

  • 1982... wasn't it the year they split and Agneta and Björn divorsed too?

  • @FruHellgren agnetha och björn separerade i slutet av 1978 :)

  • this is a LEGEND..ABBA IS LEGEND

  • what can i say excellent never hear a band like this again

  • könnte weinen,weil diese frau nichts mehr auf den markt bringt. aber danke für alles, otto

  • For the story and its wording, I call this poetry. My English is poor but I call this poetry.

    For the melody and the harmonies, I call this music. My English is poor but I call this music.

    For the singing, I call this Art. with a capital A. My English is poor but I call it Art.

    For the performance of Miss Fältskog, my English is too poor, I don't have words.

  • Ô Lord ! That's a masterpiece !

    The words, the story and its wording, the insistently throbbing and haunting melody, the harrowing harmonies, the absolutely perfectly fitted voice of Miss Fältskog (let's not even mention her angel face), her breaking notes that breaks all our hearts, the sadness she proves able to convey, everything makes this last song of them their unique "chef d'œuvre".

    I know other pieces of comparable strength and beauty. I don't know many of higher.

  • Abba , will remain a source of pride for the song the world forever .

  • Despite their undoubted popularity I still get the impression they were one of the most underestimated bands of all time. To me they are the perfect band, they have everything, but it couldn't have worked if the girls would have had average voices. Anna and Frida can really sing..beautifully! Anna and Frida asounding beauty and sexiness is still the icing on the cake. I do not believe we will ever again witness a band with the same ability to reach and touch you on the deepest human level.

  • @buddaroo not only that. Having gone to music university, I have the knowledge to say their music is the finest in pop. The harmonies, melodies and backgrounds are amazingly written. ABBA is the closest that pop music has ever been and will be to classical music. Four real musicians and, you're so right when you say that these girls could sing! Even their live records (which aren't many) are flawless!

  • FANTASTIC,  100 STARS

  • ABBA  RULES, xxx

  • amazing.......

  • IT'S A FANTASTIC MUSIC AND ABBA IS PURE GOLD! I LOVE THESE FOUR SWEDES!!!!! GREAT AND WONDERFUL VIDEO OF YOURS DIEGO, THANKS AGAIN! HUGS FROM: KIKO - BRAZIL

  • This was Abba's last major song before they broke up, I think. What a beautiful version and the droll lyrics about Swedish existential ennui ... the day before you cane.

  • so exciting

    beautiful song

    thanks

    from israel

    abba for ever

  • Abbas greatest song. Just listen to those awsome analogue synths. Amazing !!!!!

  • She is in turmoil in this video, ABBA is almost over and her heart is broken from Bjorn. I feel so sorry for her. She was never the same.

  • ABBA's GREATEST SONG. Just listen to those amazing analogue synths. AMAZING SOUND !!!

  • The smile at 5.44 so sexy !

  • abbas masterpiece..definitive. the lastest song are the best.

  • Its a beautiful piece - the music is haunting - she's beautiful and some of the lines are very funny!

  • Unbelievable amazing song by Agnetha

    She is so dutiful

    

  • Superb ! One of the best .... from the best !!

  • Agnetha's hair had turned a realistic shade of blonde by now. She's not herself anymore. I loved the vibrant, whitish blonde she used to be!

  • the best abba song ever-yäss!!!

  • Beautiful song! Wow...she sure look Nice....and...beautiful. I've never heard this song before, and if I didn't see this video, I probably won't recognize that this was one of their songs. I really love it. Thanks for posting.

  • Best sound thanks!!

  • If ABBA could get back together for another tour of North American, they would be just as popular today and fill arenas everywhere. They could make millions to go with their millions already made. I love this band. Could Agnethia be any more pretty that she is in this video????

  • one of the best songs ever

  • still in love, after 30 years..

  • Hvor var/er hun da bare smuk :)

  • Watch and learn a few things Lady Gaga!>

    Grüße aus Bayern!

  • Its art,its breathtaking,its perfect.

  • I heard this song again on radio 2 today and boy, how wonderful it is. Brings back the memories of my youth. I had an almighty crush on Agnetha. I still love her!

    Abba, Beatles and the Bee Gees - can't beat them.

  • God,she was gorgeous and a voice that sends shivers down my spine.Still love Abba to this very day.A++++++++

  • Genial Musik :) Aldrig har vi i Danmarrk haft et band der har nået dem til sokkerne. (måske med undtagelse a Nephew nu, lige til knæene hehe).

  • The BEST OF BEST!

    From France!

  • ABBA Forever!

  • love the "Dallas" verse...

  • @weaselidiotu ... and the line "I need to be in bed by ten" some very funny lines!

  • Me to.

  • probably the best song ABBA ever produced - brilliant!

  • This was their last TV performance.

    The show was in Saarbrücken, Germany.

    Agnetha is very moved when she sings the last time live in TV, you can see it in her face and hear it in her voice.

  • Its increteble how beuatiful a woman can be.Just perfect.

  • together with Adante Adante my favourit sogs of ABBA... Listen to them every day still...

  • PERFECTION!

  • abba always did songs to what was going on in real life in their lives

    one of us is lying

    the winner takes it all

    this one

    and lay all your love on me

    are prime examples

  • @Simo2009BORO so who was lying? lol

  • @Simo2009BORO

    Uh uh, they were taking about my life.

  • One of the last songs ;)))

  • agnetha je t'aime !!!!

  • this song talking about my life lol, this was my life before till I falled in love, it is really more than great song, ABBA is amazing group, thank you a lot of the great video...

  • whats to say, she is beautiful and song is so well delivered, great video

  • She did look stunning here at age 32. It is a shame that Father Time catches up to all of us, in his own time.

  • Well that song is really heartbreaking.

  • This song is so haunting and sung so beautifully by Agnetha it is truly Abba at their best

  • Dear me... this is really heartbreaking. Probably the best song of them, emotional than all the other songs. I guess they already knew that ABBA is taking the final sprint.

  • i get goosebumps when i hear the synth bits on the chorus...what an amazing song...some of their best stuff was between 1980 and 1983

  • the best Abba song in my opinion.

  • Epic! Absolutely wonderful and perfectly produced. My favourite ABBA song. Too sad it was at the very end of their career...
