Shnootz - Reaction Video (ABBA - Ode to Freedom)

What's up, folks! I'm back for the final tune on ABBA's 2021 album Voyage, "Ode to Freedom," a very clever and seemingly cheeky/funny song about writing an ode to freedom. The sonics of this are bliss, and I had fun tracking the meta-lyrics along the way. So join me as we finish the main run of our beautiful ABBA journey (courtesy of ABBA, of course, but also hero of the channel Adam; thank you, brother!). As I explain during the video, we'll loop back and hit any outstanding ABBA tracks in the coming weeks, and we'll kick off the solo Agnetha and Frida voyages soon as well. Cheers!

A truly incredible piece of music a testament to the greatest band ever too produce music🙏🙏🙏

[christopheralbon]

A fitting finale to what is probably the greatest catalogue of music by one band ever. There will never be anyone like them again, and how great it is that they are all still with us.

Like the way old friends do, its an epic close to an album and a reflection on where we are politically.

Its a sumptuous feast that lets you map your own feelings towards freedom onto it. The delicate nature of the frredoms we have, are under constant realignments by well intentioned ( or not) people, but we must never forget the road to ruin is paved with good intentions.

I think Bjorn and Benny have been clever in that they are gentley goading the public to reconsider the blessings of the freedoms we have.

Not going to lie I had tears in my eyes when I first heard this song. If this really is the last song we hear from Abba then what a beautiful way to say goodbye to their fans

[paulecrosby]

I think this is stunningly beautiful ❤

[galigali]

Another ABBA "MASTERPIECE"...❤❤❤

[michik]

I think it was brilliant that they were singing the last song together. What a journey it has been!

[alexioverdo]

A magbificent goodbeye from them.And I'm left with a feeling of desperation as if 'i had FINALLY found them again, given the kiss of life and then again lost them, but this time its forever, leaving me thinking ...Gosh... they've gone...and now what?....

[ayman-asmr]

A great and proper finale for Voyage album. It's a real journey through time, music genres and human creativity.

[italoblu]

This song feels like a slow liftoff of the spaceship of benevolent beings who visited us with the intention of setting us right again, futile or not.

[supastah]

Best Band Ever. All 4 of them are signing this song. Love it.

[rasvanniekerk]

How I love this song!
A masterpiece!
❤❤❤❤

What and amazing journey
three ABBA songs !!! and the last three ABBA songs!
and today is special to all ABBA fans
September 2 in 2021 was the live stream
when ABBA premiered
I still have faith in You
& Don't shut me down

"Ode to Freedom" (2021)
is an extraordinary ending
to what may be ABBA's extraordinary musical and group journey

it's seems at others ending tracks of albums, like
"Arrival" & "The way all friends do"
but now in ABBA orchestral tune, majestic!

I believe that the last thing ABBA has done
is to be aware of its Legacy and to be faithful to it,
to perpetuate it to the new generations

That is why I believe that this new album "Voyage",
perhaps the last of ABBA,
is a trip to eternity in the history of music.

In particular,
I feel that this song is sung by the four of them together from beginning to end,
although Frida stands out strongly
in the lower tones and Agnetha appears as a beautiful second voice in the treble,
the men do background voices

Again, what a fantastic Journey
and will be more, with Agnetha & Frida
Thanks for all those greatest videos
My best regards to You, dear friend, from
Buenos Aires, Argentina
South America

PS:
to think that this song, composed in 2021, in these contexts of Russia's invasion of Ukraine,
I think it was performed by Benny on the piano with a choir of Ukrainian singers who went to Sweden
(if my memory fails me and I'm wrong about something, please correct me)

No surprises... I burst into tears😭 What a beautiful and perfect way for ABBA to end(?) 😉 The words the music the voices....the meanings...always open to interpretation..that's ABBA❤
Matt my man, I have loved joining you on this ABBA journey... Trust me I will still be here the the next chapters.❤
BTW ... Agnetha has recently released new song. 'Where Do We Go From Here?'
A MAZE ING😊 And an album release soon.
Happy dance from me❤

[frankly-hekf]

What a swansong from the most talented group in the history of music ...they couldn't have chosen a more beautiful, meaningful masterpiece to leave on...thank you for the beauty you brought into our lives over the years dear friends...

[walterw]

Wow. Every time I hear it I'm on the verge of tears. What an ending.

[richschmidt]

Enjoyed being a part of your journey through ABBA's amazing career. The incredible talent of EVERYONE involved will never be duplicated.

[christianoazzuro]

In the VOYAGE interviews when a journalist wondered why they hadn't put more song s in the Voyage gig set list from the last album and which favour one was missed Benny answered 'Ode to Freedom".As long as they are still alive case isn't closed for some extra additions and changes.Who knows?

[stuartwho]

Cried my eyes out hearing this the wonderful final track on the album. Brilliant ending to the catalogue of ABBA. And thank you Matt for sharing your journey with us.
