Pastor: "Please open your hymnal to #527. We will begin our service by singing "Lay All Your Love on Me" by the great composer ABBA." *cue Organ.* Best Sunday church service EVER!!!!
I wonder if the 10 people who don't like this realize that he plays EVERYTHING by himself, while there was normally 6 or 7 musicians plus the two singers in original song! This man does marvels with his two hands and his two feet!
Willie Finn Thanks - I saw a programme on ABBA which featured a wooden cabin in the countryside with a grand piano where the songs I guess were conceived at the keyboard?
Hi, like Willie wrote this song is perfect for a church organ. Great cover. About the cabin, its on Viggsö one of the 24.000 islands of the Stockholm archipelago. They wrote most of there beggining songs until "The Album" during the summer. After that, they went on Barbados and the Bahamas ;o)
I’m about to go to church and play the organ and just scrolling for motivation for what to play as an outro (entirely my choice as long as the grandpas and grandmas don’t identify it as something immoral) and the first thing I came across is this, so... guess what the religious people are gonna be hearing after mass today
A good friend was the organist at my wedding. He slipped "Whiter shade of Pale" into the Bach chorale while people were being seated. Only one person noticed.
I love Benny Andersson and he is an awesome tunesmith. But no century (except the 18th) has had a Bach. He was the greatest single musical genius and artist in history and no one else even comes close. There is Bach and then there is everyone else.
I don't know why the Lord recommended this to me, but CLEARLY he wasn't jealous before we met, now every woman he sees is a potential threat, and he's posSESSIVE IT ISN'T NICE
ok i've decided that i'm not dying until i've played a church organ and blasted some of my favourite heart-pulling tunes, letting it echo throughout the bulding and vibrate against the stain glass, at least once. so badass
I didn't know that but I was going to comment before I read this that this song is well suited to a church organ because the chorus is rather hymn-like.
As didactic polymath pointed out, it is based on an old Lutheran hymn-when the song came out, the chorus sounded very familiar! I grew up going to a Swedish Lutheran church in Minnesota.
Benny and Bjorn's masterpiece, theatrical operatic musical 'Kristina fran Duvemala', music: Benny Andersson lyricist/playwright: Bjorn Ulvaes was stages all over Europe. The concert version was performed in Minnesota due to the Swedish emigrations. They actually performed the concert in Lindstrom, MN in a high school gym. Full orchestra and along with the four principle characters. Benny & Bjorn were in attendance. The concert was also performed at Minneapolis.
I've seen most of your fantastic ABBA covers. I've never seen someone playing ABBA as you...You feel every note, every bar, every chord...Very passional...I imagine the emotion you feel when the powerful organ sound invades the atmosphere because you give us this emotion in return...I've never seen anything like this.
You ever have music move you to tears? This did it for me. Its so well played. I'm impressed. Plus I love Abba so there is that. Please sir I want to hear some more.
i heard the son and immediately thought "this sounds like it could be played at a church". So thank you very much for actually doing it! :D It's very beautiful.
Lyrics I wasn't jealous before we met Now every woman I see is a potential threat And I'm possessive, it isn't nice You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice But now it isn't true Now everything is new And all I've learned has overturned I beg of you... Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me (Don't go sharing your devotion) It was like shooting a sitting duck A little smalltalk, a smile and baby I was stuck I still don't know what you've done with me A grown-up woman should never fall so easily I feel a kind of fear When I don't have you near Unsatisfied, I skip my pride I beg you dear... Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me I've had a few little love affairs They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce I used to think I was sensible It makes the truth even more incomprehensible 'Cause everything is new And everything is you And all I've learned has overturned What can I do... Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me
Woke up craving for some church organ music, then I found your ABBA videos and I've been stuck here for I don't know how long, but really enjoying it. Thanks for posting and congrats on the great sound!
the chorus sounds INCREDIBLE... especially the parts that literally involve the "lay your love on me" lyrics part. plug in some nice headphones, or a nice set of speakers with a good subwoofer... it genuinely doesn't get better than this. why bother for looking for joy in all these hard to reach places when you can just listen to this? and no one is having more fun than him.
I don’t know how you do it Sweden. Such a small country but you turn out a head spinning amount of really good music. I started listening to ABBA as a teenager and continue to be amazed by more and more artists I continue to find. Listening to a lot of Petra Marklund and Garmarna lately. Love Jadudah, Nina Kinert, and Thastrom as well. Keep it coming Sweden, keep it coming!
