ABBA : One of Us ( Rare video version )

Rare version of this promo video, with a couple of different scenes, side by side with the regular one for comparison

Many thanks to Rudolf ( mozpiano2) for the rare version :)

They passed me by, all of those great romances
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it's different, I want you to know

One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all

I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That's how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
Never left at all

Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call

Love the side by side videos of this beautiful song.The angst ridden songs that ABBA recorded nearing their break up were among the best tracks that they ever done.The feel good songs are fantastic,but so are the darker ones.

Thanks for posting a new video for my playlist Shay :)

Something very deep and emotional to this and 'Winner ..' John

I love the darker ones too

Yes 'The Visitors' album is sublime and gets under the skin !

My baby doll Agnetha looks even hotter than usual. If she was lonely and needed help moving, I'd have been glad to lend a hand to Ms. Perfect.

Kinda sad how they obviously hated each other, not even appearing together in any of the videos from The Visitors.

Bjorn sure didn't hold back on the breakup songs from this period. I liked the mature ABBA songs, but I think the world only wanted "Dancing Queen" ABBA. Seems to me their sales were on a big decline at this time.

Thanks for this!

Yes those sad songs really cut to the bone ! too much for people who just wanted the happy go lucky songs

They all look depressed in this video - more than just goiod acting !

I think that I'm seeing double. Fantastic music (song and singers).

@Fabian81 But since "ballads" or "any kind of slower song" have become rejected music styles from the current general audience who rather live life as if you could pretend for 24 hours every day life is great when it's not always and imagine life is a disco club ... the music that is on top is all the plastic dance stuff outthere ... somehow we have Adele to remind us "no no no fool whoever you want but don't fool yourself", You know what I mean ...

[Fabian81]

@MrHaggis64 The fact that you are bold and honest to share your vunerability musicallywise comes to prove that the best songs are those where you are not ashamed or afraid to say "i'm sad and i'm fragile yet i have to strengh to share that and tell people that i understand their emotions and feelings and maybe my songs can help them overcome that ... cuz strengh only rises when you don't deny or hide your weakness and pain", Listening to Gaga will not help that ... i'm afraid.

They look so sad... I've loved this song for a log time, and I think this song has been loved by many people. As I listen to this song, I'm impressed with this.

The only woman I'd leave my wife for is Agnetha and thats about it. She is a Godess by all standards.

Thanks again for the new video of one of my favorite ABBA songs. Along with what SuperDoc wrote, pop success is just a wave that you catch (or not), and eventually, like with any wave, the ride has to end. I think ABBA realized that. One of the great things about ABBA is that they stayed true to their music, even as they were parting ways with the pop trend. Which is why they are classics, music for the decades, not just for the moment.

@2Shaymcn Yes, quite; but I imagine they were told not to smile.
