REACTION VIDEO

First comment here!

so nice to see you again in another ABBA song

there is much to say about
"One of us" (1981)
1) It is a beautiful song, it has a soft melody and melancholic lyrics
that allow Agnetha to shine with a very sweet voice, and a catchy and harmonic chorus
2) was ABBA's last big hit,
#1 in several European countries and #3 in the UK
(last single Top 10 of their 18 consecutives between 1975/1982)
3) recorded at the end of 1981,
the two couples were already separated
(Agnetha & Björn almost 3 years ago, Benny & Frida a few months ago)
4) the official video is very good,
it shows Agnetha (with a more mature beauty)
acting sober and convincing rebuilding a love life from a move
5) In my opinion it is together with "Slipping through my fingers"
the best song from the album "The Visitors",
where the melancholy and rawness of their lyrics is most pronounced
in the context of a complex album of musical exploration away from ABBA's signature pop,
and an image of the four singles over the two couples

some fans said, with ABBA comeback in 2021,
that the new song "Don't shut me down"
is a sequence of "One of us" after 40 years
"Don't shut me down" (2021)
is a fantastic song, a new ABBA masterpiece,
and last Top10 in UK to ABBA an other countries,
included #1 in Sweden and Switzerland
and nominated to Grammys 2023, with the new album "Voyage"
do you like to react "Don't shut me down"?

My greetings to you from
Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷

As for the musical style this was ABBA to the beat of reggae. They're always different and yet they're always themselves

Yeah! Very sad song!
Nice to see you again, Coldfire.
I hope you really enjoyed your well-deserved vacations.
Next time... try 'Take a chance of me' or 'Voulez Vous'.
Take care...
