Maybe it’s a US thing, but if you didn’t play some ABBA in the UK in the 70’s, you didn’t get a gig!

They are my guilty pleasure, and I still think Dancing Queen is arguably the most perfectly crafted pop tune of all time… ♥️🎹😎

„When you danced with me“ is arranged in Irish folk style. Some say it‘s a bit „generic“ - maybe, I‘d say it‘s typical of 1970s Abba. Probably too simple for listeners who are used to today‘s pop music.
I made a simple cover without automatic rhythm or sequencer tracks, but preferred to reduce it to 100% live playing.
The bagpipes and Celtic flute are from Roland SRX 06 Complete Orchestra expansion (via SonicCell).

Nice flow and solid LH.

Thanks, but it was too fast and the rhythm really missing.
I made another version, creating some sequencer tracks. I'm at least happy with the bagpipes part now.

It’s nice to have this opportunity to watch you playing here, you’re doing it very well. I’m yet to listen carefully these new songs by ABBA, so far I only know them by your covers :-)

“The winners takes it all”, “Fernando”, “Happy New Year”, “Money, money”, “Gimme, gimme” are the songs I count on when I’m to entertain the crowd, I also like very much “If I thought you’d ever change your mind” covered by Agnetha Fältskog; perhaps I’m not ready to compare what ABBA offers today with these well-known songs, but once I’m open minded enough I’ll give it a try.

I’d say it is precious that these new songs inspire you to record your own renditions so quickly, in my case it’s been a while since I was to motivated by some new music.

Thanks! I guess instrumental covers like these mostly make sense to the listener only when they know the original. Recognition and imagination of the original vocals play a big role.
I didn't know the cover song by Agnetha you mentioned.
Regarding the question of comparing the old classical Abba songs with the new ones, I think a comparison is difficult. Some critics wrote the new album was "ghost music" like coming from 1983 - but others say, no, it actually does NOT sound like Abba 1983, and I think they are right. Not just due to the riper voices, also the arrangements and melodies of most songs are somehow a bit more abstract, less simple and straight-forward than those classics. But I think this is a natural consequence of the 40 years that passed. The typical Abba sound, especially in the segments of multi-voice overdubbed vocals, is there, and it's still a miracle to me.

You really nailed it!!!! (Perfect) I love when someone desires Improvement and perfection in one's talents. Your Hard work and Love of Music stands out. It Inspires others. Thank You Harold USA (Pennsylvania). Plus I love Irish Music....

Thanks a lot, I‘m happy you find it inspiring!
