Congratulations dear friend!! this is simply the best!! WONDERFUL pics and this song is absolutely fascinating!! HAPPY NEW YEAR and God may bless you, family and all your friends, greetings from KIKO, in BRAZIL
Nicely done, some of the photos I've ever seen. This song is amazing. When I first heard it, i could not get enough of it. It sounded to me like something from the beginning and hope. If the new state was created, it could be accepted as national anthem. :o)) Have a great time.
This is an absolutely wonderful song, i love it so much! great video buddy, congratulations !!! and i loved all these awesome pics!! hugs from KIKO, in BRAZIL
Let the m make more music even if they don't tour-I'd just loke to hear some new songs-I bet they sound the same-when the Beatles stopped touring they kept the albums comming-if only they couls have anually maintained it....who knows. Io:
ABBA, they were geniuses and the sad thing is most people don't realizes how genius they were...wish i could have been alive to see them all together :(
Hey jim, Ive just looked in on my messages, and see you'd like a coffee shop (ABBA themed I hope). I'm sure you'd do well in Stockholm. Just to rub salt in the wound, I'm off to Sweden this summer to see my French sister in law marry her Swedish Fiancé, and I'm hoping to stay a day or 2 in Stockholm, before we make the 10 hour journey north. I hope you get to live your dream, why wait till you've retired ? lifes too short! Good luck.
I'm swedish but too young to have witnes them when they were a band. THIS song is so Swedish and Scandinavian. I am not at home at the moment, and this moves me.
i´m from Chile and most of the songs i´ve seen in the net had never been seen or heard i was a baby when they were famous and my mother had exactly the same age i´m now and my baby is the same age i was then and he sees the videos i could´nt see. thanks.
Jim,Thanks for putting me right on the Bergan thing, I'm a little disapointed now, but the Norwegian experience was great anyway. As for ABBA, I love most of their music, Arrival being one of my faves. When you're a kid you just can't like what your sister likes!! Guess who has her albums now.
I'm sorry about that, but hey you were doing something I'll probably never do...go to Norway! Actually my dream is to retire to Sweden and open a very small coffee shop. I just realized that I answered you from my other channel. If you like ABBA, check out this channel. It's dedicated to Agnetha, but all the members of ABBA are recognised there. It took all four to make ABBA, so I've done videos for all. Thanks for looking in.
I discovered this tune back in 1991, I'd never liked abba, but this led me on a journey of discovery into all their other tunes. Around the same time I took off to Bergen in Norway, during the October half term, camping. This was the theme tune to my trip, but quite unbeknowing to me at the time, I discovered that Frida was Norwegian and born In Bergan.
Actually, Anni-Frid was born in Bjorkasen, a suburb of Ballangen near Narvik. But it's no big thing....So do you like ABBA now or just certain songs? Thanks for looking in.
Lovely pictures, some I hadn't seen before, and I saw at least three that I put in my own collage for my remix of the same song! I swear I didn't know you had used them too ;) If you are interested, check out my lovely Matt Mix of Arrival on my channel. It is my ode to ABBA, ABBA mania, ABBA live and the album Arrival. It also has a good beat! Matt Pop.
I have a question about this song. I´m also a Mike Oldfield fan, and he has a version of this song so, what I want to know is if this song was composed by Benny and Björn or by Mike.
Hey Carlota, The song Arrival was written by Bjorn and Benny. It was recorded August 30th, 1976 in Stockholm. Mike oldfield didnt cover It until 1980.
Oh Jim I can't believe you pointed that out. That is when Frida had surgery on her elbows as she had been told she had the sexiest elbows in Europe. She didn't want that to take away from her singing. So she opted out. :P
We need to talk you into sending us a picture of you wearing your Abba t-shirt. We could start our own little Abba newsletter and you could be on our 1st cover!
Like the way you cleverly add A-B-B-A for each person. Plenty of shots of them altogether, the song & pics create the impression of one happy family. At this time, they were. 2:06 shows that best.
The pics with the letters are pics I've found, nothing I've added. Sure wish I thought of it though. Imho, I think this was clearly their best album. Sure to get a lot of comments on that!
Scottish feel to this, but Clan McAbba don't need any bagpipes. Their wonderful harmonic voices gradually raised in tempo create a real spiritual feeling. Benny is an expert at creating these folk type tunes.
I like the part when their voices come in with a rising crescendo! They blend together so well. Without either of the girls, there just another group!
First of all Jim take a look at My Love, My Life - SS Mix just added by gmebtcsamy. A double dose of your favorite song, beautifully done. Back to this one soon.
another lovely ABBA vid set to another one of their beautiful songs, jim. ABBA hugs.
