Posted May 25, 200916 yr I'm adding this Post in several places on The Internet. Some ABBA Fans are saying that they wish Benny & Bjorn had 'Up-Dated' the ABBA Sound - for the New Single - but, I'd HATE it if it sounded like Lady GaGa, or Eminem! I like Songs with a lot going on in them - flutes, & multi tracked vocals etc..... MY POST..... Why would Benny & Bjorn WANT to change the ABBA Sound? I LOVE the New Single! Many people are already saying that it sounds like ABBA - and I agree! (Because that's 100% fine by me!). ABBA Fans/Pop Fans, if you want to hear the 'Radio Edit' of the new Benny & Bjorn Song, then 'Click On' the Link, & hear it played on the Ken Bruce/Zoe Ball Show on BBC Radio 2. Zoe played it this morning. It is 'Story of A Heart' by the Benny Andersson Band. Swedish Singer, Helen Sjoholm is the lead vocalist. Start Listening at 01:07:27 http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00km...uce_25_05_2009/ The Song is really 05:08 long, but there is clearly a shorter version for Radio. The longer version will be on the Album of the same name, & as an extra Track on the CD Single, no doubt. It sounds just like ABBA. Indeed, if it were actually by ABBA, it would stroll to No.1 in the UK, Ireland, & several other Countries.
May 25, 200916 yr That will never happen, Agnetha is a recluse and Frida lives in Switzerland. Anyway, I love ABBA and I love this. Oddly nobody posted anything about it yet. It totally sounds like classic ABBA. I'll post a YouTube video soon. There is another new Bjorn And Benny song, 2nd Best To None by the Rivals. It's also good, possibly even catchier, but it's sung by the staff of Bennys hotel so it's a bit Howard-from-the-Halifax... :heehee: And hello Colin :kink:
May 25, 200916 yr Benny Andersson Band - Story Of A Heart :wub: :wub: tCRF63b0MQc The Rivals - 2nd Best To None :wub: cti4CL_jtZs
May 26, 200916 yr its fine, typical abba sounding but thats what we want inst it?.. tbh, it should have been our eurovision entry...we might have won! :lol:
June 17, 200916 yr Author Here is the Swedish version of 'Story Of A Heart', on YouTube. Apparently, 'Sommaren Du Fick' means, 'The Summer I Had' - or 'The Summer I Got'. HOWEVER, in GERMAN, I'm pretty sure that 'Fick' means something rather 'rude'! THE LINK - TO THE SWEDISH VERSION The Swedish Single is the longer version - than the Edited one, that has been on UK Radio, in English. Notice at 3.10, that the Song has a very pretty, & slow 'Bridge' in it - that is NOT in the UK Radio version. However, I believe that the longer version - in English - is on the Album, outside Sweden - with only Sweden getting the Swedish version as a Bonus Track. Giving it 15 Tracks - to 14, for the Album outside Sweden. UK AIRPLAY - Radio 2 has added the Edited English version to its Playlist - its 'A' List. So, they like it - but, Radio One does not have it on even its 'C' List..... SINGLE RELEASE - I hear that 'Story Of A Heart' will NOT be a UK, (or Irish etc.), Single. It is just meant to promote the Album, on UK Radio. Anyhow, a Track need no longer be a Single - in UK Stores - to be a Hit. If enough people Download 'Story Of A Heart', as a Track from the Album, then it will get into the Singles Chart.
June 18, 200916 yr I am SO IN LOVE with this song :heart: I heard the Swedish version yesterday and cried :snif: ::blush: I felt like Frida when she first heard Dancing Queen (or like Kelly Rowland when she first heard When Love Takes Over :P) Can't wait to hear the long English version.
June 19, 200916 yr Good thing to hear that they have a new single.I really like their songs and they are of one my favorite band.
June 20, 200916 yr Author The full - 5 Minute English version of 'Story Of A Heart' is now available to listen to. Just 'Click On' the Link under the Helen Sjoholm Paragraph. http://www.kristinathemusical.com/company.htm
June 22, 200916 yr A brilliant tune. Even if it sounds a bit too musical/show tuney for the pop charts.
July 16, 200916 yr Itc catchy and its very pop im niot sure if its more suited as a pop song or a eurovison song though,
