Abba's comeback has struck me!

Don't Shut Me Down - my piano version purely by ear... (I know, not specifically fitting the arranger topic)

Nice, not a favorite group of mine but good job and sometimes its good to go back to just piano.

Thank you both. Voulez-vouz was the first music tape I had as a child in 1979. In the late 80s and early 90s Abba was quite a part of my repertoire when occasionally playing live music on family celebrations. For many years, I haven‘t listened to them any more, and it‘s usually not played in the radio any more, at least not by radio stations playing pop & rock.
But this resurrection of their sound in the form of two new songs is just magical and unreal. 40 years later…

Nice playing, and I'm impressed you did it by ear. I am working both on my piano playing and ear training as well. Hopefully I'll be able to do what you do someday. At least I have fun trying! I enjoy ABBA 's sound and it seems like they have maintained their popularity over these many years. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much again. I‘ve always liked figuring out harmonies by ear and don‘t have any sheet music for a lot of pop music. Also some soundtrack tunes. But I think it can be trained to a good degree.

I agree that the ear can be trained. Some people just get frustrated thinking you have to have perfect pitch or it's a God given talent. I know my aural skills have gotten much better over the years through some very deliberate practice/ ear-training.
