ABBA slipping through my fingers (visitors)

[fergusil]

the lyrics to this are creepy--just like the lyrics to the winner takes it all;what i mean is its like reading someone personal diary.how could abba where their heart on their sleeve to this extent?very touching. is it possible to get this on cd other than the visitors album without the clock ticking at the very end linked into like an angel passing through my room?

[smk223344]

I played this at my daughters wedding after most of the men had watched england demolish germany 5-1. We danced the dj moaned cos I only had it on vinyl. one of my favourite ever moments. being a dad is better than money

[lurch321]

Written for Agnetha and Bjorn's daughter Linda. How old would she've been then...............anyone know?

[ji61m]

@lurch321 Linda was 7 years old when this song was written.

[TheDeadlyDelilah]

This is such a beautiful song - The Visitors is by far ABBA's best album in my opinion.

[mrshinyshoes]

Perhaps one of the best, if not the best, ABBA song for me. Well composed, beautifully sung, and so meaningful and moving.

[ffmarkm]

For me, this and I Wonder are their best songs.

Sheer class.

[XxJeehnyxX]

aaaaaaaaa eu amo essa musica *.*

[christritton]

NEVER did they make a bad song. All just Classics

[lepton421]

Agnetha, for so many years I had been looking at you through the monitor, years had gone, time is slippling trought my life and the opportunity to meet you once it seems so far away. My love fly every night I see you and within your heart deep inside I live.

[CCJC2000]

Say to one another and to the nation that we will act and speak with the courage and compassion Jesus Christ requires for all things great or small Beautiful song Go ABBA

[ANDREWMUZAK]

Easily one of ABBA's most outstanding recordings.

[lestroisamisdemoi]

92752dim, what wonderful words and I 100% agree with you!

[lycrabutt]

Linda Looks more like father than she does her mother.

[92752dlm]

Breaking through the ruins round-about our lives, we are seeds, breaking through the clay, discovering our tomarrow: beginings our life has produced, and how wonderful those beginings develop to be: And what ever, perhaps, life has held for us to have upon our making each grade to which we climb.

[mara114828]

thanks for sharing, memories are our most precious treasures!

[TheStallion1964]

For me this is one of ABBA's finest. Brilliant!!

[robbie72uk]

I recall hearing this song when I first played The Visitors album and it struck me as one of ABBAs best. I still love listening to it 28 years later.

[ji61m]

As a father of a young daughter, I can relate to this song very much myself. Thanks for looking in.

Peace...Jim~

[songsungu]

jim I also have a daughter that for reasons beyond my control I no longer see. I love this song, I think it's one of their best, but it hurts me every time I hear it. Sorry about bleeding on you. Sincerely, Christian

[ji61m]

That's Agnetha and Bjorn's daughter Linda.

[54spiritedwill54]

beautiful video! :)

[ji61m]

Thank you. This is my very first video ever and it's way rough. I now have almost 280 videos and have had time to get a little better at it. Thanks for stopping by.

Peace...Jim~

[yongaburoo]

I first heard this beautiful song when I was becoming a teenager and I have love this song ever since. Now that I'm a father with 2 daughters whom I'm separated from, this song has become so much more meaningful to me. The words in this song is so real to me becos' I have watched my daughters carry their schoolbags and wondered would they miss me when I'm not with them. Thank you, Abba, for this wonderful song.

[dannyriethausen]

why they don't exist anymore???

abba should be one of the miracles of the word,...unforgettable,...

love them

[stefancev]

Yes, your own video response is better. But please don't remove any of your videos. You are an exceptional ABBA source on Youtube.

[Broadsword255]

Beautiful Song & Pictures both. Never tire of watching this XXX

[ji61m]

Thank you Tricia. This is my very first video so it's not very good. If you click on the picture under video responses, you can see my video I made to the live version of this song.

Feel free to stop by anytime, I specialise in videos of ABBA, especially Agnetha Faltskog.

Thank you for looking in.

Peace from Iowa (USA)...Jim~

[LisaLisaSE]

For a first video its wonderful; Its a lovely song and you put some lovely pictures in it as well; Well done;

[ji61m]

Thank you very much. I hope that I've gotten at least a little better after almost 250 videos. This one took almost 3 months of preparation or nerves I guess. If you get the chance, check out my live version located in the video responses. Thanks for looking in.

Peace from Iowa (USA)....Jim~

[eliashk5]

The voice harmonies in this song is superb!!

I first heard this song on Mamma Mia the movie and I thought Meryl Streep sounded darn good. But now, I like ABBA's version better!!

Its a sad song though. And the thought that they wrote it for Bjorn & Agnetha's child makes it even more poignant. Thank you for posting this. Love it.

[AbbaFanSouth]

This one caught my eye from the 'related' column

You had to start somewhere and this was a good choice

This one is good and youve gotten better

Time will do that..

Thanks for this one and the 248 others..so far

[Sileeee56]

I mean: Which is the girl's name?

Wonderful music!!!

[ji61m]

Their daughter's full name is Linda Elin Ulvaeus. Thank you, this is my first video and it's not the best. If you get time, check out my newest video of this song. It's the live version.

Peace, Jim~

[Sileeee56]

What is the name of their girl?

[LisaLisaSE]

I really love this song; Sometimes it brings tears to the eyes though; My little girl is 15now; The years did fly past; Its the bit that says What happened to the wonderful adventures, the places i had planned for us to go does it, every single time;

[whirlyfan]

makes me sentamental reminds me of when my nephew started school ! (he's 8 now !) grow up soo fast lol

[ji61m]

I know how you feel Jen. I remember the day my youngest (now 16) went to school for the first time. I just wanted to sit with her all day in school. But she ended up loving it.

Peace, Jim~

[ROULERS1]

Brilliant but sad abba song !!! thx soooooo much for posting : )

[Madeline33111]

I can't deny :)

[Madeline33111]

Beautiful song, I listen to The Visitors album very often and that song makes me cry and shiver for everytime.

[ji61m]

Thank you Madeline. This is my very first video, so it's not that great. But you can't deny the feelings Aggy puts into the song.

[queenpopmusic]

Beautiful moving song

[dragonball7d2]

beautiful video! :))))))

[saloabad]

OMG she is Agnetha's daughter!! I was so confussed at first, I was like that's not Agnetha then I realized that it was Linda, she is beatiful but not like her mother! she looks like Bjorn too...o well beatiful video, and Agnetha is so amazing!!!she looks like an angel

[ji61m]

She definitly is a beautiful lady, Aggy and Bjorn did well. This was my very first video, so it's not that good. If you like this song, check out my latest "Slipping..." video, or my "Visa I attonde Manaden,(Lullaby For Linda)" videos. I think I have at least 5 different videos featuring Linda. Thank you for looking in.

Peace, Jim~

[theMasterStoke]

stupendi!

[Patonight]

Montré Agnetha Bjorn leur petite fille bébé,puis adulte sur une très belle chanson c'est bien pensé!

Merci ji61m pour ce beau montage de photos.

[AbbaChick]

Linda is beautiful.

Lovely song. So heart-felt.

[ji61m]

She is a beautiful woman Helen, just like her mother. Do you realise that this is my very first video....I've come a long way. Thank you for looking in.

[horsessculler]

Well I think Agnetha's daughter is lovely!!! And she's a fine rider as well I understand!!

[flabchop]

one of the best songs ive ever heard

[tubobosta]

This extraordinary song, Mrs. Agnetha Falkskog, makes m feel so in love ever and ever.

[jojorodrigues]

agnetha is by far more beautifull than her daughter...sorry linda

[ji61m]

I don't think I would have a problem being around either one of them, They're both very beautiful ladies!

[rimanecek]

No Linda is beautiful too. Maybe she takes more after her dad, but she is still beautiful.

[senavz01]

who is the girl of the pictures??

[ji61m]

That is Agnetha and Bjorn's daughter Linda. This isn't a very good vid it's rough cause it's my 1st!

[SweetyyMia]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[Tomi1297]

beauty song!! :)

[jordimla]

Pity that linda took on more on her dad's looks than her mum. the son christian looks more like agnetha, and he's a mighty fine looking chap.

[rimanecek]

In my opinion, Linda is gorgeous!

[ji61m]

She definitly is a beauty, just like her mother!

Peace, Jim~

[bouxer4]

Sometimes but on extremly rare occasions a perfect song is written and recorded! This is one of those perfect songs!

[AbbaChick]

I agree, it is a beautiful song. Very heart-felt

[jazzmanEE]

she looks like bjorn but probably has agnethas smile...any kids born from these two people were bound to be beautiful...i mean, agnetha is one of the most beautiful women in the world

[ji61m]

Beauty and brains, a lethal combination. She will do well in her life. Thanks for the comment.

[Farerets]

this melody is the most beautiful ever made by human being... I cry everyime I hear it

[ji61m]

I know what you mean. Every time I hear It I just stop what I'm doing and listen. This is my 1st video and I might remake it so it's visually more appealing, Still thinkin about it.

[miriamdiaz00001]

JIM CONGRATULATIONS FOR 1er VIDEO VERY GOOD , IS MY SONG PREFER FOR MY CHILDREN, "se me esta escapando" is emotionante.

[ji61m]

Thank you Miriam, it took awhile to get done. The next one won't take as long i promise.

[ji61m]

I gotta agree with Angel, I think she looks alot like her dad. Definitly her mom's beauty!(na,I don't have a fav...or do I?

[abbadabbadoo7]

See how it goes Jim? Once you post you're toast! Another JimGem expected soooooon! :) Lotta Love from all the ABBA fans!..xx.Shawn

[SHAYMCN]

Such a moving song

Good set of photos

Welcome to the club

[ji61m]

Thanks Shay. Like I told everone else it only took 3 months, but i did take a few days off here and there...Lol

[angel585]

Hey Jim, where did you get your pics? They're nice but just a bit blurry. Their daughter is very pretty. She has more resemblance to Bjorn IMO.

This song is so beautiful. Written by Bjorn ;)

[ji61m]

Ya Angel they are a bit blurry, webcam special. Sure to get better i hope. The pics of Linda are from her web site. Got lucky one day and found it, worked out good!
