  • She's the best sing i ever hear,she's very best than Frida

  • WOW,....just look at 'em two lovebirds,....BEAUTIFUL Agnetha and DASHING Björn,...thumbs up to ya John boy and thankin' ya for the GREAT share! = )

  • beautiful! this is why ABBA was so great. all of the parts were fantastic. thankyou abbafanglosuk for this. the story you produced just gave me great joy in my search for all that is ABBA. ABBA forever, Christian

  • Hi Christian - yes the members of Abba were already very good artists before they got together to form Abba, that's what made the group so good. The most successful of them was Agnetha, which is not surprising with self written songs and singing of this high quality! I put plenty of background info in all my vids to set the scene for the song and perrformance for the viewers, it makes the vid more complete. The info is from an authorised biograhy, so its what did occur. Thanks lots from John!

  • Agnetha was an amazing songwriter! I love thos pre-ABBA songs of hers! Please upload more!

    One of the cutest pictures I've seen of them : )

  • I certainly will be doing that, Agnetha's solo Swedish songs are wonderful! Its even more impressive that she wrote them herself starting at just 17. This is just a typical album track, with plenty more of this quality. The picture is intended to show how much in love they were when their romance began to go with this emotional song - Agnetha looks totally love struck! Each video takes a while to do, as I provide lots of background info to go with the song as well. Thanks so much from John.

  • It's so great to hear these songs

    Over here in the Netherlands we only know the songs of Abba and those after that periode

    So thanks for the post

    Jolanda

  • Cheers Jolanda, its a privilege for me to bring these lesser known but wonderful Swedish solo songs from Agnetha's early career before Abba to the attention of her youtube fans! The quality of her song writing and singing is very high for album tracks. She would have been too good for any other group but Abba who amazingly had Bjorn and Benny to write even better songs for the international market!

  • First time hearing it. Awesome song. :)

  • Yes this is one of Agnetha's solo Swedish songs before she joined Abba! She did a lot of great songs like this, and she wrote most of them herself. Agnetha is a very talented composer + singer in her own right, but was overshadowed by Bjorn & Benny.

  • Great song and video but what i liked most of all was the information you supplied to back it all up,nice touch & really appreciated,cheers John.

  • Thanks John - its something I try to do for all my videos to set the scene for the performance and / or song. It just makes the video more complete for the viewers. It takes longer to do the videos, but I feel happier that I've got everything covered - and the viewers do seem to appreciate it!

  • You chose the best picture John for this video! I sure don't blame Bjorn for falling in love with this gorgeous woman! Thank you once again for the great information! Some of it was new to me! Of course the song is beautifully sung by Agnetha! Thank you for sharing this with me!

    -Dallas

  • Hiya Dallas - yep I didn't have to think too long what to write about and which picture to use for this song. The subject matter jumps out at you straight away, as Agnetha sings powerfully from the heart. The build up to the chorus is very strong from the start, which she soon launches into! Its evident that they fell in love quickly. The attraction was strong as I hope the pictue illustrates and it shows that they travelled to meet each other between their shows!

  • What a beautiful song! I could listen to it all day long. I love the melody of the violins and Agnetha is so sweet and romantic... I've got another delightful tune for my collection; thanks John, so long

  • Cheers Francisco - I've found that Agnetha's album tracks are all of this high standard and full of her strong emotional singing so there's plenty more to come! Sometimes you can't help but wonder what we missed out on from her during the Abba years, given that she was composing these great songs herself!

  • John, you keep amazing me with songs I haven't run across before. You're amazing!

    I loved hearing this song, because Agnetha has always had such a wonderful, emotionally charged voice.

    Thanks for uploading this! :) Five stars and favored. :)

    STAY AWESOME!

  • Thanks Mark, I like to do rarer songs like this as well as the more famous ones by Abba. There's plenty more of these beautifully sung Swedish solo songs from Agnetha still to come, and she wrote most of them herself! Its not commonly known that she had a very successful solo career in Sweden before Abba came along.

  • She must have been quite young when she started, because from what I've already seen of her early work she was already quite polished.

    Thanks for everything you do John.

    STAY AWESOME! :)

  • Yes she wrote her first song at just 17 years old, and it went straight to number 1 in Sweden. She was something of a child musical genius!

  • That's amazing. Of course, it doesn't surprise me. :)

    STAY AWESOME! :)

  • The wonderful voice of Agnetha, she was awesome!!! : )

  • That's right Shelley, its good to hear Agnetha's voice on its own so we can see just how powerful her singing is! This is just a sample of her beautiful solo Swedish songs that she wrote herself before Abba. There's plenty more to come and some already done!

  • excellent detailed post as usual John!

  • Thanks Bill - how they fell in love seemed to be fitting for this highly emotional song!

  • 'I want you to be happy.

    And hope she can give you what need

    Our lives did not turn out as we thought.

    My love was not enough.'

    A. Faltskog

    Beautiful !

  • Not quite the happy lyrics one would expect, but it shows she has a deep insight into human emotions that would appear in her songs throughout her career and explains her emotional singing! She was always a romantic soul!

  • A classic photo John, What legs too.Thanks for the detailed background info. Touching lyrics here too from Agnetha

  • Cheers Shay, I wanted something to illustrate that they met up whenever they could despite their different touring committments and this photo fitted that just right with the sports car included! Its also got the advantage of showing off Agnetha's long legs and micro-skirt too. Its no wonder that Bjorn could not resist her and found her seductive! She did wear some daring stuff, but that was the fashion then!

  • This is a very nice song John, in fact you must have been looking over my shoulder because my latest video came down to this song and the one that I used!

  • That was lucky Jim - I suppose there's always the chance that 2 people will do the same song on the same night sooner or later! But at least Agnetha did a high number of very good solo songs like those two, which reduces the chances considerably!

  • Great song John and as usual your description is fantastic!

    Jim

  • Cheers Jim - I just had to do something about them falling in love with such emotional singing as this is by Agnetha! She can already put her heart and soul into songs like this, and they get quite moving even in Swedish - such is the power of her voice!
