I like the way you opened you reaction/review by saying the song is more than just the greatest break up song of all time. If can get past the beauty of Agnetha and her voice and the lovely piano music, you have to marvel at the skill of the songwriter, in this case Bjorn Ulvaes, Agnetha's ex husband and ex band mate. Their personal love story is pretty sad when compared to their earlier years of marriage. In a little over 3 minutes the singer and the songwriter told a powerful narrative about the game of life. The song begins and ends with the analogy of a card game with winners and losers. They have convey through this song how vulnerable people are in this game of life that can leave you utterly shattered. Yet, this is the human condition. You build lovely secure homes and make dreams. But there is no guaranty that a roll of the dice will not completely up end your reality. The songwriter conveyed deep emotion with a few rhymes and pointed images. The singer with her facial expression, the control and nuance of her voice, the way she used her beauty and the lovely melody created a whole story. ABBA had a talent for good song writing. They were dismissed for a while as just a pop group. But their music is standing the test of time. They have so much music. I hope you will get a chance to explore more.

Incredible! Such a masterpiece

One of the most endearing things about the 4 members of ABBA is that there is no ego. They are perfectly fine to let the other members of the group shine. Frida is a massively talented singer, but she understands that this is Agnetha's song and she provides perfect backup vocals. It's the same the other way round when Frida takes the lead. The very few songs in which they both sing a majority of the song together are pure magic as well, because their voices blend to create a sound you can't replicate.

Look at Bjørn's face (the one with the guitar) when he looks at her as she's singing... this was shortly after their breakup, him and Agnetha were married (So were Benny and Anni-Frid). He wrote it overnight for her to sing, and she pours her entire soul into it. You can see him feeling it too, and there's pain in there for both of them. She probably really was about to cry.

The real Art is eternal, not depending from the time. And this is a real piece of Art, because holding all the things, why Art is art. This is the music, that even the greatest orchestras could creating just few times. Benny Anderson is same great composer, as Grieg or Sibelius (if you know about classical music): And the base of this song is purely classical music. This could combine with an amazing, honest, real-life performance and the perfect lyrics. If after 1000 years still will be human on the Earth, this song will catching them same way, as Bach or Vivaldi catching us after 300 years… Art is eternal, because locating in the deepest core of he human soul, what really hard to founding and catching, but if someone able, we can call him genious. Abba have this type of geniousity…Not much others have (Beatles, Queen, Radiohead, mean in the officially “non-classical” music area - but they are all classical musics…)

ABBS is 🇸🇪,🇸🇪 is ABBA

Exactly at that time she was divorcing the guitarrist next to her. He wrote the song, she sang it. Obviously he was suffering too: you can note the sad look he directed to her at 4:14.

Great to see your reaction to ABBA little sis. They are very special

Hello for first time, congratulations for your first reaction to ABBA songs this is ABBA, the swedish pop group leads in 70s, decade after BEATLES ABBA, as BEATLES, was so versatility in genres and styles of music ABBA (1972/82) is acrostic with initials of first names, two couples: Agnetha (blonde singer) & Björn (guitarist songwriter) Benny (pianist songwriter) & Anni Frid (brunette singer) Agnetha & Björn separated at end 1978, A.Frid & Benny at begin 1981 "The winner takes it all" (1980) is for me the best interpretation of a song that I heard in all my life by any singer or band It is interpretation, because it is more than just singing, it is also acting and transmitting, and the lead singer Agnetha does all that and on a superlative level Beyond the morbid that the story of this song produces (the lyrics written by the guitarist Björn and sung by his ex-wife, the blonde Agnetha), the structure reflects a change: it is the first time in all ABBA songs that whoever has the leading voice has been alone from beginning to end, She goes one way and the choirs go the other (they do not add up, they remain in the background) and in the end She is left alone passive and exposed, while the chorus and the music finish so up That is why I feel that Agnetha does an extraordinary performance (extraordinary: out of the ordinary) Her face is very expressive and accompanies the various tones and nuances of her majestic vocalization. "The winner takes it all" is a great song, it's in my ABBA Top 5 It is the favorite of British fans, but fundamentally is the one chose by Björn and Agnetha And their own words is the one that is worth more I wish You continue to react ABBA I suggest the ballad pop "Chiquitita" at their premier in Concert for Unicef kzread.info/dash/bejne/oYF92cGyadi4hJs.html (ABBA donated royalties to Unicef)

My fave ABBA song. It's beautiful, emotional and heartfelt.

Simon Fuller is a big name publisher of musicians. In 2017 he signed up ABBA as a new client. What he's going to do is digitize them and sell ABBA in a 3D form, either in a 3D "tour" or through some Virtual Reality product that people can purchase for their home computers. In support of this, ABBA agreed to record a couple of new songs, and they have recorded them, (named "I Still Have Faith In You," and "Don't Shut Me Down") but the new songs won't be released until Simon Fuller is ready. (Rumours indicate that there are MORE than two new songs already recorded, possibly five, and Bjorn didn't deny that when confronted with it.) As part of Fuller's digitization of the ABBA singers, he did a body scan of each of them, in such high detail that even their irises were accurately recorded. What I want to see is a VR experience of ABBA's 1974 Eurovision win, right down to replicating their individual gestures on stage. I want to be right on stage with them when they sing it. This is the future direction of entertainment for the next 100 years. Although Simon Fuller hasn't explained what he's doing, you can get a pretty good idea by watching this video which describes what Sony is doing for one of its singers: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a4esmNmSpJTAksY.html

I truly believe the world will never see a group like this ever again that so many people of all ages and cultures can all love.

English myself but older but wish to add that there will never be such a pop group again as the time is clearly running out now in February 2023. Remember what I said and choose your Person to trust very very carefully. Your soul deserves it!

It moves you cause its not superficial, it finds where you are hiding and exposes it for you to heal it!

Its a song my generation listened to, and yes, you really feel the pain when she sings about it.

Probably because she was actually in pain at the time 🙁

Not only a divorce song but a divorce song delivered on the same stage as the ex... That's what makes ABBA's music immortal. I'm pleased you got to hear it but sad you didn't have ABBA in your life until now.

Wow I can only imagine the struggles they were going through

I was 10 years old when I was living in Australia together with my parents . At that time ,in 1980 ,ABBA had just finished their smash hit tour in Australia and as a kid I loved ABBA. I wore ABBA t-shirts , everything . I was a happy , bright , little boy , who loved life. But soon after, about a year later I suffered , severe , severe , depression . I didn't want to see anyone , no friends or family members , didn't want to go outside, didn't want to get out of bed or go to school. My parents didn't know what to do with me , took me to psychiatrists who loaded me up with all the latest antidepressant drugs . One day at 11 years age , I was listening to this song from ABBA , it was so deep , full of meaning , but made me sink into an even more depression. One morning , my parents found me in my bedroom hanging from a noose around my neck on top of the ceiling , I tried to take my own life . Fortunately my parents saved me in the nick of time and I didn't die. I was put into hospital psych wards until I was better then allowed to go home. The years have passed by , I've since left Australia and I'm 39 years old now. Your video of this sad, deep , but amazing ABBA song just brought back so many memories of that time as kid where I nearly took my own life . OMG , this song by ABBA still haunts me , it brings back so much pain for me ! I can't believe people still listen to this ABBA song , even now , OMG , so much pain and sorrow , but a special song , wow !

Omg are you ok now? What country did you move to?

I collect ABBA and various 80's groups autographs .. authentic ones, .. have become essentially "impossible" to find.

Anyone that's been through a breakup or lost someone you feel this way

Love your reaction! Love ABBA

Aww thanks for always watching my videos I really see you and I love and appreciate you a lot. I don’t take it for granted

Wise Words from you. Sometimes i think it is a part of living to experience heartship. But there is also Joy and Hope at the same time.

Her ex-husband... the songwriter, is the guitar player standing next to her.... the bravery of both to put this performance on, exposing the emotions of both for eternity... this may still be my favorite ABBA song.....
