ABBA : Slipping Through My Fingers (Live Dick Cavett) 1981

[54MURAI]

When I was young, I used to think "The Winner Takes It All" was the best Abba song. Then I had two children... and now I wonder where time went...

[enterprise1954]

This would bring tears to the proverbial glass eye. My son's growing up slipped through my fingers owing to a messy separation and divorce and a confrontational policy on access from his mother. He's now safely through school and university and never calls his mother. Nemesis! My daughter is just about to turn 14 and is visibly slipping through our fingers all the time.

[p30dax]

This song brings out the emotions of how precious time can be - and how sometimes we drift through life

[nirtje123]

this is a great song, very wonderful!

[EllyB1104]

Wonderful!



[EllyB1104]

Wonderful!

[dazzini82]

Agnetha looks a mees here! But then again...so does Frida! 1976-78 is when they looked really good!

[TheRobertoliveira1]

[flragunde]

tolles lied

[mickritt]

This is a beautiful song. Agnetha and Frida do a wonderful job with it. The songs and talent of ABBA amazes me.

[dream4usweet1]

You are doing a wonderful job on ABBA videos downloads shay.... Agnetha should find out about what you are doing here and hand you over a MEDAL.... a good kiss would be nice I think....

[ThePezen]

Voice of an angel.

[mrsspanner14]

such a beautiful song, and it always makes me feel sad about how quickly my beloved daughter is growing up....fab

[nemesisrogue]

Would have been so much better if about losing a lover - rather than a child's formative years.

[nemesisrogue]

@muitobem100 Yes it would.

[Love4Sverige]

Such a sweet song, Agnetha as always showing so much passion in her singing, great one!

[moonflower0924]

aggy is good but Frida started singing and oh my word even better. :)

[sarahjane4eva]

I prefer this version to the album recording, especially the musical bits.

This song always makes me well up especially with leaving school approaching next June. It's very strange when I take the P1s for gym, as their school career has just begun, and mine has nearly finished

[2Shaymcn]

I prefer it too, good luck with whatever path you take after school

[pawelch5]

@sarahjane4eva this version is much better :)

[oaksyboy44]

One of my top 5 ABBA songs as well. You have this in a great quality too Shay! I think it was more sad in the stage play than the movie, but both bring back some memories. Thanks for sharing this with me.

[2Shaymcn]

It sure does stir the emotions M!

[SADL00KINM00N]

Wonderful and so sad, I agree with Rob; it is a very touching performance.

Thanks for the HQ video Shay, Aggie sounds great!

[2Shaymcn]

These DC clips blew me away when I first seen them a few years ago Elin, a 'beautiful sadness' in the performance

[frapistat]

That look of Björn's at Agnetha...what have we done to our lives? Very touching performance. A classic...thanks Shay.

[2Shaymcn]

He looks quite emotional there Rob, heightened emotions at the time with Benny & Frida too

[SheerFolly]

The Dick Cavett performances recorded in Sweden contain some of my favorite ABBA song versions, you have my hearty encouragement to post 'em all lol. Super posting, Shay. Thanx  :))

[2Shaymcn]

I agree with you Harold - love those emotional performances

Only a few are available in good quality, but ill see what I have on the old hard drive

[TheMauvetys]

Great performance !

I like to see as Björn looks sometimes at Agnetha who is singing there, as he did when they were marrried.

In my opinion, it's one of the best songs of the "Visitors" album.

[2Shaymcn]

The 'look of love' was still there Marie but things had moved on

I love the spanish version a lot and there is a nice swedish version from Mamma Mia

[abbafanglosuk]

Almost a slight wavering in her voice at the start - this song is as moving as you can get! I think this song is genius level, no-one else could do anything like it. Fav'd also - thanks Shay!

[2Shaymcn]

Sure is moving John, great understated arrangement, beautiful guitar solo too!

[jes941]

Great Shay! I see why this is your favorite

Jim

[2Shaymcn]

Seen this for the first time 3 years ago thanks to youtube and I havnt stopped lovin it since Jim

Great idea by the way on the fav videos

Ill see what I can get together

[jes941]

ok thanks Shay!

[roydoncrossing]

Have to agree with you Shay-was the top rated video on my channel for months-although others have now overtaken it.

Sure is in my top 5!!

[2Shaymcn]

Glad you agree Bill, it was big on my old channel too, and well deserved of that spot

[roydoncrossing]

Understand that Jim expected us to put forward existing ones so I have shared The winner takes it all which along with One of us are probably my top 3 ABBA favorites-not sure who will pick the short straw of doing the compilation!!!-I have to abstain at the moment!

[ji61m]

Oh the beautiful lip bite at 3:12...and wouldn't you love to know what's on here mind at this very moment as well....Thank you Shay, for this and all of the memories!

[2Shaymcn]

That lip bite  just puts the cap on it Jim, those lyrics say a lot about their lives 'What happened to the wonderful adventures the places I had planned for us to go'

[cessnaace]

Thanks for uploading this Shay. I'd never seen this before.. I also appreciate you putting up the lyrics. :)

5/5'd and favored! :)

STAY AWESOME! :)

[2Shaymcn]

Glad to introduce you to this one Mark

Everyone should hear it at least once !

[cessnaace]

Well, I favored it,. so I'll see it more than just the first time. LOL!

STAY AWESOME! :)
