ABBA - The Winner Takes It All 

Rest In Peace Chuck McGill

I’m leaving my comment here so when someone likes it, I can listen to this masterpiece again.

2024 anybody?

Anyone in 2024?? ❤

This song hits different after the finale.

Hearing Chuck McGill sing was something else, he genuinely has a good voice for singing

Who‘s watching in May 2024??

Anybody who listen in May 2024

For me, this song isn’t just about divorce or a split-up. It’s a song about saying goodbye, whether it’s saying goodbye to a lover, a friend, or the passing of a loved one. Because life is, sadly, all about goodbyes.

This is 2024 and I'm here listening to this masterpiece of a song! This is one of the songs generation yet unborn will always cherish to listen to, as we all did. ❤😢

2024, and I will never get tired of this song.

Still one of my favourites = ABBA. Even my children (all in their 30's) are fond of Abba. 🎉❤

*1980: "Wow, this song is amazing!"* *2019: "Wow, this song is amazing!"* *3050: "Wow, this song is amazing!"*

Yes, The Winner takes it all. 40 years on and this song still send shivers down my spine. ABBA we love forever. In 2021, who is also listening ?

Nobody ever wore blue eyeshadow better. (I feel like Abba has given more pure enjoyment to more people, for longer, than any other band, ever. And they always will.)

The fact that she sang and recorded this song while being heartbroken herself (recent divorced from his husband Bjorn), is what it makes this song so touching. She sang it from the bottom of her heart, no doubt about it.

A band that used a second language to sing and prove to the whole world how talented and special they were.

This is the masterpiece of divorce songs.

I'm 84 and watching in May,2024. Always loved ABBA and always will.

Somewhere deep inside, You must know I miss you, 2024❤

I discovered this fabulous song by this show called “Better Call Saul” which is now one of my favorite series making part of the breaking bad universe. The scene with this song matched perfectly and I have to admit that Vince always chooses the best songs for his show. Now to the main point, I love this song. One of my favorite ABBA song if not my favorite. Have a happy 2022

Alright, I think we can all agree that ABBA never had a single bad song.

My generation was privileged to witness the glory that was ABBA

Who’s here in 2024?

86 years, but with good behavior.. who knows?

Seeing Chuck in the finale actually made me very happy. I will always think of Jimmy and Chuck McGill at the karaoke bar when I hear this song.

“I don’t want to talk”… what an amazing opening line to a devastatingly beautiful story and song

One of the greatest bands of all time

You can feel Agnetha's raw emotion during this entire song, and damn...

“But I was a fool. Playing by the rules” - Chuck. Song is absolutely perfect for BCS.

Who randomly appeared here in 2024?

Thank you, ABBA! There will never be a group like you again.

I always cry when I listen to this song. Because I remember the days that never come back.

There are only so many songs that belong in the EPIC category, and this is one. One of the best written songs ever. "The gods may throw their dice. Their minds as cold as ice. While someone way down here, loses someone dear."

What a fantastic band! I was born in 1980, and these Swedish singers have made history and they are still making with their masterpieces. Rarely can one find such a terrific group of singers and lovers as well. Although I am not in love (and I would like to be) this superb melody has such a power to move my heart. ❤❤❤❤

Listening To This After The ABBA Voyage Concert Makes Me Tear Up, I’ve Been An ABBA Fan For Like 5 Years And This Song Has Always Brought Me Chills

51- year- old man here, haven't heard this song for several years until just now... and it broke me. The melody, the most beautiful angelic singing, and what the song is about, suddenly and unexpectedly broke me down. The power of music.... the power of ABBA's music especially...

Tonight the finale to Better Call Saul airs. All I can say, is that the winner takes it all.

17th Feb 2024, sitting quiet with my eyes closed basking in heavenly ABBA

One of the most haunting, poignant, heart breakingly sad songs ever written and performed perfectly by Agnetha! What an incredible band! Philip Legge

'This song was written by Bjorn during their divorce' 'Imagine how painful it was for Agnetha to sing these song' 'Makes me cry'

People pretend to dislike ABBA, the Bee Gees and the Carpenters but history doesn't lie. Its pure and its simply timeless and brilliant.

Aquí los hispanos que amamos ABBA

Wonderful . This made us find back to ABBA. A cat show .

Thank you Better Call Saul for bringing me here and Michael McKean's AMAZING singing voice! Damn them for not letting him complete the song! DIRECTOR'S CUT!!!

That line “does it feel the same when she calls your name” captures the pain and heartache of still loving someone after a break up. Truly magnificent ABBA.

Agnetha's really shines in this one.

"Because you're my brother, duh. You'd do the same for me" I wish I could be a good brother as Jimmy was.

One of the few true love songs

"Thinking I belonged there" is my favourite line.

The song is very tragic, very emotional. The lines “I was in your arms, thinking I belong there “. And “But I was a fool, playing by the rules “. The entire song has such meaning. Her voice is so good, so lovely.

This is her favorite Abba song

The lyrics are powerful yet honest and straight from the heart. Add the haunting melody and harmonies, and it’s one of ABBA’s greatest songs.

Abba rolled out one hit after another. Phenomenal and timeless.

What would life have been like without ABBA! Happy 50th! 🎉6/4/74 - 6/4/24. Go to ABBA Voyage concert as soon as you can! I remember vividly watching the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest as a 6 year old and watching ABBA performing “Waterloo”, and being mesmerised. I’ve been a fan ever since, even being bullied for it, especially when entering secondary school in 1978. ABBA have a combined wealth of nearly £1.5billion. Oddly enough, 6 April 1974 to 6 April 2024 is 1,577,912,463 seconds. So ABBA have earned £1 per second over the last 50 years! Thank you Anni-Frid, Bjorn, Benny, Agnetha.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ABBA!!!!!!!! They wrote one HELLUVA LOT INCREDIBLE stuff, and The Winner Takes It All has to be one of THE MOST CLASSIC SONGS OF ALL TIME, BAR NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoever disliked this song clearly needs to get a covid test, because one the major symtoms is lack of taste.

Anyone in 2024 ❤

Incredible band. Memories on my childhood my parents listened in the 70’s . But the lyrics are timelines. God I love this band.

This is a good song to sing for karaoke with your estranged brother

The greatest breakup song of all time and one of the most beautiful voices ever...

Molto bella questa canzone , un po' triste per chi perde 😢 Buona notte sole e stelle ❤🤗💕😊🌟🌠🌟

what an absolute master piece..gets me every time 😢

40 years on and this song still send shivers down my spine. Agnetha is one of the few singers who can cry with her voice when se sings. In the context of her painful divorce from Bjorn, how could they have asked her to sing those lyrics? But the pain in her voice is what makes this a masterpiece, despite the simplicity of the beautiful classical melody. Benny's piano is breathtaking and that line 'But you see...' ABBA, you had more magic in your fingernails than most of us have in our whole bodies, we love you!

The best pop song ever written. I don’t think there will ever be anything to beat this. Lyrics, music, vocals. Everything about this song is completely brilliant.

In January 2024, I visited the museum of ABBA, my favorite pop group, located in Stockholm, and I came to the conclusion that ABBA can be considered one of the attributes of Sweden.

I am watching in 2024.😊

I was talking to a group of Punk and Metal heads the other day and all to the man - including myself - agreed that Abba are the only pop group we all love.

This is that kind of music you listen when the homies aren’t around

Piekna Europejska muzyka ,tesknie za latami 80 ❤❤❤ Te czasy juz mie wroca .

Oh McGill brothers... I wish you both stand strong with each other. Things would be so wonderful !!!

This is such a sad song, makes me tear up but sing along at the same time.

when someone breaks you heart and you have to face them and be civil and inside your heart is broken as they took it and walked over it and dont care.....thats what this song is about

Как мы любили эту группу, сами молодые, вся жизнь впереди, столько планов, ах как там было здорово, мы были счастливы

Who watching this video on May 2024? 👇

I don't know about you, but for me this is the best ABBA song. Transmits an indescribable feeling

No words can describe Agnetha s voice. That woman is an angel

My mom died 9 januari this year . She was 69, ABBA was her favorite music. Love u mom forever!❤

Whose watching this in 2024 realizing Mack Lorén covered ABBA?

The winner takes it all, the loser standing small Beside the victory, that's her destiny. Such beautiful lyrics. :')

I don't wanna talk About things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history I've played all my cards And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play The winner takes it all The loser's standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all (takes it all) The loser has to fall (has to fall) It's simple and it's plain (it's so plain) Why should I complain? (Why complain?) But tell me, does she kiss Like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same When she calls your name? Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say? Rules must be obeyed The judges will decide (will decide) The likes of me abide (me abide) Spectators of the show (of the show) Always staying low (staying low) The game is on again (on again) A lover or a friend (or a friend) A big thing or a small (big or small) The winner takes it all (takes it all) I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand You've come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see The winner takes it all The winner takes it all So the winner takes it all And the loser has to fall Throw the dice, cold as ice Way down here, someone dear Takes it all, has to fall And it's plain, why complain?

Abba forever. Thank you for your timeless music!!💕💕💕

I'm watching in 2024 Never leaves my head. Those lines...wow

Perfect music, when I was a Swedish kid I really didn´t appreciate ABBA, maybe I was too young, I mean I thought it was good and all but not great. Now, with the years, I´ve started to understand the major impact ABBA´s music had on the music industry and the way people used to think about what great music really is.

One of the best songs ever. And I'm not even 50!

ABBA oh my what a TALENT!!!! Still listening in 2024 aged 51 😊❤

To think that she sang to Bjorn while divorcing him. The song is phenomenal and the context in which it was written makes it even much more meaningful .

Thanks to Better Call Saul for bringing me back the nostalgia of listening to ABBA when I was a little kid.

after 37 years ...i love this song too much

One of ABBA’s best ones which says a lot since they have given us loads of fabulous songs. One of the greatest hits in music history.

for me this is the best song of abba

I just tried to play this over the end scene of Better Call Saul, it hits a 1000 times harder with it! 😭

Stop with all that "Who's listening to this in 2019, 2020" bullsh*t! It's ABBA; you listen to their music anytime, anywhere.

This was back when musicians would sing and those listening could relate to the song.

My favorite group since the seventy when I was kid and still is.

None of us may ever hear a greater song of love and loss than this. These four beautiful winners, winners-all, still see themselves as "losers" in love at least, and that is ever so sad, as they have brought, and continue to bring, soooooo much joy to millions, including this writer. Bless you, ABBA, and thank you for the gift of your music, beauty and love. Lee Lovett

"Dear Jimmy, I have left many things unsaid in our relationship through the years. Rather than allow these unspoken thoughts to die with me, I’ve chosen to record them here for you. I hope you will take my words in the spirit in which they are intended. I remember quite clearly the day you came home from the hospital. You can’t imagine the joy on mom’s face. I can honestly say I never saw her happier than she was on that day. You brought a shine to our life that nothing else ever did and I’m glad of that. We have not always seen eye to eye. I expect that will continue to be so in the future, however, nothing will ever change the fact that we are brothers - flesh and blood. And though we are very different people, I want you to know how much I respect what you have made of yourself in these last few years. You have taken the opportunity I gave you in the mailroom and you have run with it, becoming a valued member of the HHM family. For all the problems in your past, I’m proud we share the name McGill. I sincerely admire your energy and resilience. I used to worry about you finding a place in the world, but I’m not worried about that anymore. I’m certain now that no matter what the future may bring, you’ll land on your feet and I hope when you read this, you remember me not only as your brother, but as a person you knew was always in your corner."

The best ever pop group !!!!!

Наверное это и есть - жизнь! С первых аккордов, до последних слов - это вся жизнь! Это чудо не повторится. Те восьмидесятые, та юность, те мечты. Люблю тебя АББА!!!

Born 1963...1976. ABBA . World changed for me. Never knew music. Bless ABBA.
