OMG Agnetha can really snarl big style. I wonder if she was a right bitch to live with. Soft on the outside but nasty on the inside. Definately not the Queen in peoples hearts. lol .
i love abba too,but you must be realistic,abba are a great pop band,probably one of the best,but the best group ever,noooo, beatles are the best by a long long way,even benny and bjorn got there writing influence from lennon and mc cartney,the beatles are the best and thats a fact:O)
Amazin song, one of their best i think. Highly underrated, though the lyrics are simply beautiful. It´s so sad to think how this great band ended up and that there was no happy endin for the two couples...<3
Oh, how I LOVE this song!!! Great melody, and fantastic,mature lyrics, and truly heartrending when considered in the light of what was going on in their personal lves at the time - it's one step on from " The Winner Takes it All"
Brillant and heart taking ! My only regret is that they could have made it longer with one or two more verses just to tell us more of their feelings as they do it so well - Thank you for posting this marvel
Yes, it was a big misstake for them going for Head over heals in the Uk as a second single. That is a great track but its to dark and no single matrial. When all is said and done was a big hit in the US charting better then severel other big singles for them so they should have gone for it in the UK to.
Or they could have realesed soliders. I think it could be a hit to
@tryffel8 I completely agree with you. I think that singles to promote "The Visitors" and make it more successful (comercially) would be in that order : 1. When all is said and done 2. One Of Us 3. Two For The Price Of One (Not the best track but is very comercial).
I think the album "the Visitors" is an highly underrated album. It's filled with astonishing lyrics. I can only dream of what else they could have done! Sigh....
Wonderful song, but highly underrated! Brilliant lyrics, a very beautiful melody..jus perfect. And it gives u sumthin to think about. Really wonder why this song is still so nonfamous.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you are probably the biggest FOOL that ever lived. Abba songs are great but abba does NOT have the HEART and GRACE from GOD that mj has if the did the would have touched billions around the world and sold the most in history of entertainment. so please hit your soft head against the wall..
yh but abba and mj are totaly different there both good and ABBA have stood the test of time and they have all there hits in a musical and so has MJ but as much as I love MJ he is not Gods gift
he was just a talanted person and ABBA have four very talanted people the only difference is that ABBA doesnt have all the scandal as MJ did
Apologies, I ran out of characters in my comment to give the name of the Australian group I mentioned. They are called ' The Idea of North ' and their music is well worth a listen.
As many others have said, this song is clearly underrated. However, there is hope: it lives on! An Australian Acapella quartet recorded it as part of a live CD and DVD "Live at the Powerhouse" and their rendition is most definitely worth the time to find and hear. Please note though, it is quite different to this original, however I think it reflects the themes and emotions in the lyrics very well while staying true to the essence of this ABBA gem. Please check it out and enjoy.
Agree this is definitely underrated - bittersweet too, as were a few of the songs on The Visitors. Slipping Through My Fingers is another which comes to mind.
Definitely this song was underrated. We shall always miss the ABBA they were music queens and kings singing rhythmically in a foreign tongue. Nice touch of class ABBA
What a great clip, thank you for posting it. Frida's voice is hauntingly beautiful, especially when you realize what she sings about. Abba I miss you.
One of Bjorn's greatest lyrics, this was an inspired and poignant addition to the movie soundtrack. (It does not appear in the play.) A brilliant and emotional song and another testament to Benny and Bjorn's brilliance as composers and arrangers.
The film with Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan re-interprets this totally terrific song in a positive way, concerning finding love in middle age. Amazing how well it works!
mm... this is one of my favourites too. I loved it the first time I heard it- there is something so sad and honest about it... it still gives me shivers.
the somewhat unexpected "not too old for sex" part always makes people sit up too (at least in my experience)!
this song always gives me the creeps..no matter how often i listen to it! it´s just brilliant so sad but beautiful!and i love it even more when i remember that it´s just not a song about somebody..it´s a song about the group &how they ended their matrimonies and that makes it so precious =)
Yes, her husband did remarry and Bjorn did too. Benny cheated on Frida so there is one reason.....I think? She remarried a prince and hepassed away in 1999 or 2000 I can't remember what year. She had a tough life. I wish ABBA will reunite. I wish both couples will. ;'(
You can see in their eyes that their hearts just weren't in it anymore. It's got to be difficult performing w/your ex-husbands. Both guys had remarried by this point.
Yep like the song The winner takes it all, you can see that Agnetha was still pained by the divorce. Not only in her voice but also in her expressions.
Both Frida & Agnetha had some great stuff, and both had loads of talent, but they never had the ABBA magic again. Just listen to the way they did the backing vocals on this and many other songs. And the instrumental arrangement! I've never heard anything even close on either Agnetha's nor Frida's post-ABBA stuff. Some one was a real perfectionist, and everybody worked together to make it. And, call it bubble gum if you like, but they didn't have Benny & Bjorn writing songs for them.
When things get to the end, then, sometimes we don't even know why it happend when everything was so good. This is so good it hurts.
