All the best things about Abba, wrapped into one beautiful song about the thing we love most here- MUSIC!! Thanks for watching 🥰

In my humble opinion the best female singing voice ever recorded. Frida's voice is as magical as she is. ❤

I agree. Frida is perfection

Frida at her best, nobody can sing this song better than her. This is an absolute masterpiece.

My absolute favourite Frida vocals. Her voice is stunning! ❤❤❤ Thanks for an excellent reaction.

Frida is a Goddesss

Another song that also causes chills and goosebumps is 'Like an angel passing through my room'. (also with Frida❤️leading vocals). Great react... and so nice to see you again, Brandon. Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍

Like An Angel Passing Through My Room is my favourite of all ABBA's songs. Like Carpenters' Eve, or the Ronstadt/Riddle version of Monk's Round Midnight, melancholy and haunting almost to the point of being funereal...

You can’t go wrong with ABBA. They’ve been with me since I was 4❤

Frida sings so wonderfully, with tenderness and strength! Here proves that Abba not only makes pop songs but also masters musicals. Benny and Björn have made the musical Chess, which has been played in several countries. And absolutely fantastic "Kristina from Duvemåla" with lots of wonderful songs! ❤️⭐⭐👍🙏👑

Abba at their best

It's nice that they went out on a high note!

ABBA symphonic side at its best

One of the masterpiece.

This song showcases their tremendous talent of Abba.

This feels to me more of a Frida/Benny song, I love it, from their mature phase. Agnetha and Frida were two of the best singers ever to grace the pop stage, I'm still not sure their skills are fully appreciated, but this is one of the songs that shows them off to their best. You can definitely hear Benny toying with the musicals genre here, thinking ahead perhaps...

Yes! But the lyrics which Frida does a masterful job of interpreting are written by Bjorn.

Beautiful Frida 🥰

Finally, a reactor who plays the song before offering comments thus not ruining the experience. For that alone I will subscribe. What a treat. Meanwhile we all get to hear the music of ABBA and the magnificent voice of Frida and the beautiful harmony of Agnetha. And what about that arrangement? Bravo to you and ABBA,

ABBA Vistors Album is phenomenal

Lovely song. Don’t forget my favourite ABBA Song, ‘The Day Before You Came’. 🎶❤️🎶

Dude, I'm a dude like you but I can tell you I fell in love with your own speaking voice. You should have a career on radio or broadcasting. KZread recommended for me this song reaction, so I'm coming across your channel for the first time today. Keep up and on with your effort. I let the music speak is very beautiful, it's poetry sung by Frida to her best. Rich in imagery, metaphor and attempt to set a pace ahead of the ordinary pop music.

The best thing to come out of their "Voyage" reunion was how the guy's heaping praise on the girls. Nobody interprets their work like Frida and Agnetha. And it goes the other way too. Their like a cosmic force when they work together.

F1 starts next week so, pole position x me, Fernando is my fave from AꓭBA but I love many others.

I am always a bit intimidated when someone suggests this song for reaction cause it's far and away from the familiar catchy Abba sound for the masses, meaning it's not an instant catcher especially for young reactors. This is a 'peculiar' grower.Personally when i first heard it in my very early teens i couldn't get this.But on my growing older time proved to me what a specialty is this recording and i'm so satisfied that our friend here appreciated it.

​@@christianoazzuro6711 MY weird silly troubled mind keeps me away from Chase Vickerss as long as he doesn't create a balance between Agnetha and Frida leads. That might sound narrow-minded but I can't change it. 🤷‍♀ Already 14 Agnetha leads but only 6 Frida leads in 36 reactions. He still hasn't done the big songs like KMKY, IHAD, WAISAD or ISHFIY but King Kong Song... So I rather prefer 'Rock my Bean' who go through their catalogue in chronological order.

Frida was unbeatable in the 80s. Her solo work after ABBA is so experimental and exciting, and her vocal capacity and versality enormous. I wish she had continued to record all through the decade. She was amazing in the 70s, but rose above all in the 80s.

A less well known song but as always just class. I wonder if the writing was more difficult for them in English?

Class is a great noun to describe this band. I definitely found the lyrics very impressive. Unsure of their fluency level of English at that time..

Definitely better than my Swedish !!! We are fortunate that English has been adopted so widely thanks to our glorious past explorations. (some not so glorious perhaps). Perhaps if the US had stuck with us, that communication would have been easier too? 🤭Actually it might not, if you guys had ended up with an English North country accent, no-one would understand you !!!

That was pretty good! I never really got into Abba, I'd just hear them on the radio or see them on TV shows and while they weren't bad, the style of their pop songs didn't grab me. I liked "I Let The Music Speak" though and I'll give it a listen again or even grab the album it's off of sometime? 👍

Glad you enjoyed John. Yes, this song kind of stands apart from their biggest hits. Of course I'm going to love their darker side haha....thanks for tuning in!

Amazing sound blizzard. Rather "cold", "winter" song. Everything is so icy and cristall. Everything is blu, pink, purple and violet. Some Night Before Christmas ( by classic russian wrighter Nicolay Gogol I mean, I wish you watched the movie of 60s). This is the song I heard when I was about 15. Four years after it was released. And since then I think this is the most complicated, the most whimsical and one of the most beautiful songs of ABBA. There are two more pieces that come to mind to be interesting musically, but they are not by ABBA but by Bijorn and Benny from their "Chess" musical. They are "One night in Bangkok" and the wals."Where I Wanna Be". 💓👏👏👏

Another first listen for me with this song! I enjoyed it as much as the other hits that I’m familiar with. I just didn’t follow ABBA that much, heard mainly what was on the radio.

Thanks Andy! Always up for more Abba- a guaranteed great experience. Good point you made at the end there 😊

The whole album 'The Visitors' is my favourite! very theatrical

Good one. It's gret that you get to hear so much good music, but I'd like (just once) for you to hear something and NOT really like it.

It probably contradicts most of the opinions, but I will respectfully express my feelings. And I am going to repeat myself in something that I said "I let the music speak" (1981) It also leaves me with mixed feelings And first of all I want to make it clear that Frida's vocal performance as the main voice is outstanding, and the choirs are very well elaborated. But the song itself, although it's very good, doesn't end up closing me like others It's like there are parts that I like and others that I don't. (and what I think is 7pts) Perhaps two comparisons come to mind: One with the 'mini musical' included in "The Album" which for me is incredible and fascinating in its three songs: Thank you for the music / I wonder / I'm a marionette I like "I let the music speak" , but doesn't fascinate me And the other with "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen which also seems to me superior and more cohesive at this point Björn and Benny were with the advanced idea of ​​making a musical and not with their partners Frida and Agnetha And this is a preview of what would come in his future creations outside of ABBA.(with Tim Race, later) perhaps the error is mine to resemble "I let the music speak" to both ABBA's mini musical and Queen's smash hit I am also talking about a very good song, where I think the vocals surpass the music But in the high catalog of ABBA it does not enter my Top25, maybe could be enter (or not) in my Top50 If you like to explore another underrated ABBA song my suggestion is to "Move on" (1977) in the masterpiece of versatility "ABBA The Album" as always, I enjoy your reactions your kindness and musical opening I leave you a big hugh from Buenos Aires, Argentina South America

Pretto!

Frida's voice is perfect for these operatic songs. I think Agnetha has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard but Frida isn't far behind. Most bands don't have one singer who can sing like this and ABBA had two, it's almost unfair lol.
