Many have considered this song which was released in 1980 to be prophetic especially in this line "we don't know what's waiting down that line, in the end of '89". The end of '89 was also the mark of the end of the Soviet Russia.

Well, the Soviet Union, yes. Russia sadly has slid backward, or sideways, as is all too evident now. But that period around 1990 was, indeed, such a time of hope, and in some places where it had been absent, democracy that came in then holds on still...

Spot on Jay :) Agnetha Fältskog´s voice is clear as a diamond and soft as silk, at the same time.. And when Anni-Frid joins in with her warm deeper voice to make the perfect duo, even the angels gets jealous :D

We hear this song every new year's eve at 00.00 on our national radio one (I'm writing from Finland, the neighbor of Sweden). Personally, my new year's eve isn't complete without hearing this song as the first thing to give a lift for the upcoming year. I have loved ABBA since I was 7 or so, at the time of Waterloo, and Agnetha was my first crush back then...

I went back and watched a few of your other reactions to them. You commented on the toxic relationship in "Mamma Mia." I'm sure others have told you by now, that Agnetha and Bjorn (the guitarist) and Frida and Benny (the bearded pianist) were married, and subsequently divorced, yet they still worked together. They did a great job, but I'm sure there was a lot of pain and sorrow and they were able to channel that into some of the best music ever. Light pop melodies often covering dark or painful lyrics. "Knowing Me, Knowing You" is a really wonderful example of this and a fantastic song.

I think anyone who was aware of the band at all back when, knows just how autobiographical and heartbreaking :The WInner Takes It All" was at the time... The fans having to deal with the double trauma of both couples splitting, not amicably either. And then just a year or so later they broke up the band itself. I really do think THAT song has left it's mark on anyone who has heard it and saw their own lives sung out so painfully.

This was off their 1980 album Super Trouper, the same album that spawned "The Winner Takes It All". I think you'd also love the title track, as well as "Lay All Your Love On Me" and "On and On and On". I hope you'll also check out "I Have a Dream" at some point, it's truly breathtaking.

The thing about ABBA is that both the girls have beautiful voices but when they sing in harmony it takes it to another level.

Regarding the lyrics which Amber touched on as sounding sad, I think that's what makes the song great, actually - it's realistic. For most of us, when we look back at the past year, there is always a bit of melancholy when we think of things that didn't go right (either for us or for others) or things we wanted to accomplish but did not. And the next follow-up lyric is saying that we should strive for hope, otherwise there's no point to life; it's _not_ saying we should just give up and die, but just the opposite: that we should embrace the idea of a better future, as that is what fully living is all about.

@Jemini4228

I must admit I understand the melancholy that many feel about New Year. Many people have regrets about the previous year and I find the practice of giving oneself targets to be stressful pressure I could do without on what is supposed to be a celebration. There's also the fact it signals the end of the holiday season (at least in my country) and a return to normal life during what is a cold dark time of year. Still there is the sense of a new purpose and energy that offsets this.

It's always something to remember these songs were recorded without the use of auto tune... Which tells you just how good they were

It has literally been 40 years since I heard this song and I drew strange looks in Marine barracks as the other guys were either into Led Zeppelin or Michael Jackson. We were the last barracks to get cable TV (long story) and MTV would take a year or two to show ABBA. Thanks for the reminder.

Voulez-Vous, Does Your Mama Know, Eagle...back in the 80's, my mom had the greatest hits and we listened to it all the time.

Can’t go wrong with ABBA!

Do yourselves a favor and hear the "Super Trouper" ABBA's album that cointain this song, along many more songs as unforgettable as this is.

Amber says "It's kinda happy and it's kinda sad." Perfect description of every ABBA song ever.

Little known fact about ABBA: ”The girls”, as Benny likes to call them, always had a lot of input into the vocal arrangements - arguably the most intricate vocal arrangements in pop history. (Especially Agnetha has claimed partial ownership, and she was an accomplished songwriter before joining ABBA). Lyricist Bjorn had one regret about this song: That he dated it with by referencing 1989 in the final verse. (This was their goodbye to a decade, the 70s - ”their” decade).

I have loved this song for close to 40 years. When I was a nerdy white boy in the burbs, I would listen to this, and laugh at me if you must, but I felt like it was the kind of song that every human being can relate to, in any language, in almost any culture. It feels like the kind of song that we can all listen to together, nod in agreement, and want to live better lives. Which makes it Art.

I have grown up with this group and their music and will enjoy them until the last breath I draw whenever that shall be.

THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, without a song and a dance where you would we be?Without the four what would they be? The synergy of the collective YES!! Thank you for the music and the love, joy and sweet, sweet memories they bring every time I hear that awesome raw talent that is ABBA❤❤❤

Lord, I love their sound.

Musicians like Abba were telling stories with their songs and what a great arrangement that was. I love the melancholic vibe of the song.

Benny and Bjorn are amazingly talented songs writers and composers.

Sad how the "record store" is now almost a vanished thing. I have still not seen the 2021 ABBA CD anywhere yet, and have only heard brief clips of a couple of the songs online...and I live in a substantial city in a very heavily populated area.

What you maybe didn't know: The song was written on an airplaine to Barbados and the idea came up to extend it to a whole musical. On Barbados they met Python John Cleese and asked him if he would help writing this musical. Imagine what would have come out of it, if this would have worked out :D Nevertheless after several failed attempts (Thank you for the music...) to write a proper musical, the guys did it 3 years later after having disbanded and divorced from the girls. CHESS was born - imo one of the greatest musicals ever written (collaboration with lyricist TIm Rice) - Check out: Merano (opening), One Night in Bangkok, I know him so well (one of the most beautiful duetts ever) and Anthem - a song that til now I can't listen to without crying like a baby. I am far from a musical lover but Chess is a masterpiece covering all kind of styles and genres from classical, to a capella, hard rock, folk and pop weaved in a very moving story.

Epic vocals! Rock and Roller by heart, but these gals have always had a special place in my feels!

I love this song. Every new year, listen to it and tears always come to my eyes, happy that it's a new beginning but when think back on the year we leaving behind, always had to say goodbye to a loved one or a friend. It makes me feel sad, like I am writing this message and tears are rolling down my face, for all who didn't make it to this new year.

All their songs have meaning. But my favorite are 'The Visitor's 'Lay all your love on Me' 'On and on and on' 'Super trouper' . Do them you'll understand why. All the best in the New Year.

OMG! A Abba song that I have never ever heard before! Once again, it's great. They can do no wrong. ❤🎵

Great way to start the New Year, hopefully you'll do some more ABBA during the years. Some song suggestions: - "Slipping Through My Fingers" - as parents, you have to do this one - "Does Your Mother Know" - one of the guys sings lead - "I Let the Music Speak" - Frida's most awesome performance - "The Visitors" - edgy and very relevant to current events

I didn't expect to see you review this ABBA lovely song. You are right, it is about hope for the future, keep moving forward, despite today, the past, etc. You will seldom find a fully cheery ABBA song because the guys wrote real life...often their own. That means a mix of happy and sad, and sometimes profound such as He Is Your Brother. Keep listening to these icons of music. Agnetha's soprano so sharp and crystal clear and Frida's (Annifrid...an actual Princess) mezzo so rich and full. Gorgeous music.

I've listened to ABBA since they started and yet never heard this tune until just now. Not one of their hits, obviously, but still has a beautiful ring while delivering a message of hope... and regret? She's on the sofa; he's standing at the window. Why aren't they together celebrating? ABBA always draws you in.

Agnetha ( ag-nee-yay-ta) has a beautiful voice...its delicate & beautifully controlled one minute then powerful and soaring the next BUT..... Anni-Frid (Anne-ee-freed) is easily as good. PLEASE do a reaction to " Our Last Summer " by ABBA.... Anni-Frid absolutely Nails It. The Emotion, vibrato, pitching and her crescendo build to the very last note as it fades out...is worthy of a mention. Please please please 🙏

I hope you guys can watch and do many more ABBA videos..they are the crop of the cream as I see it in music and the reactions too...this is yet another great classic ABBA songs..

I remember hearing this song when it came out in 1980 as I was turning ten and thinking how strange it was to be entering a new decade that I knew nothing about. It seemed like the song was about leaving behind what you know and facing a new world and decade as a kid it really resonated with me. The harmonies and melody really touched me and they still do 43 years later.

Happy new year!!! Great pick!! Ive listen to this every year!! Abba I have been listening to since the early 70's. The new year to me means a time to reflect on the past year and how I've grown spiritually, taking that into the new year with positive thoughts ❤️!

If you have not heard Abba "Under Attack" yet, I highly recommend. It is also the last music video they filmed back in the day. It's a perfect song that is fitting for their end of that era, while at the same time being the first song in a long time that sounded like Abba at the beginning. Also "If It Wasn't For the Nights" is an Abba song that always gets overlooked, but is terrific.

Happy New Year! They released a new album last year called Voyage. Not sure if you've done "Fernando" "Honey, Honey" "Super Trouper" "Does Your Mother Know" "Thank You For The Music" "Money, Money, Money" "The Name Of The Game" "Slipping Through My Fingers" "Ring, Ring" "The Day Before You Came" "I Still Have Faith In You" "I Have A Dream" and many more. Have fun in choosing what to next.

To me, this is one of the best ABBA songs at all

The second verse in this song is probably the single greatest piece of poetry ever written in pop music, period. It took me 35 years of listening to this song on New Years Eve and during the year on the radio occasionally to finally one time listen to the actual lyrics and understand them and damn! that verse summarizes human nature like nothing else. I'll just paste those lyrics here for anyone who might have missed them so far, like i did for so much time: "Sometimes I see How the brave new world arrives And I see how it thrives In the ashes of our lives Oh yes, Man is a fool And he thinks he'll be okay Dragging on, feet of clay Never knowing he's astray Keeps on going anyway."

I agree that the one genius quality of ABBA's song lyrics is the happy and sad feelings they provoke all at the same time.

I've mentioned this group here before, but one 60's group none of the YT reactors seem to have discovered is The Association. They were big from about 1967-1969. Their hits include Cherish, Never My Love, Everything That Touches You, and Windy. They reformed in later years with various different lineups, so the trick is to make sure to get a video from the 60's.

The thing about this song is that you have to remember that it was written at a time when both couples were either having problems or had already divorced (can't remember the dates exactly). This is why the lyrics are all about looking backwards and trying to look forward with some sort of hope.

I'm a huge abba fan .. i love them ... And i love your reaction ... Happy new year guys
