This is one of ABBA’s true hidden gems. They found themselves taking pop music to a more layered level…experimenting with more adult subjects outside of their more usual love/love lost songs. It showed such depth and really leads us so smoothly to VOYAGE almost 40 years later where they still are passionate about love and the world around them. What a perfect band.

This song is ABBA's ultimate B-side. So good. Glad you mention the drum beat. Per Lindvall has a very unique way of playing them. Sometimes the snare sounds just like a gunshot! He's ABBA's drummer to this day and also in both Mamma Mia's albums.

It is not a b side . It is inside the visitors álbum though they used It for b side in head over heels i think but was first an álbum track , not like Lovelight or eleine

"Should I Laugh or cry" should be on the Visitors album but got dropped, BIG MISTAKE.

The Visitors saw the boys beginning to focus on the cold war which was at the forefront of Europe in 1980 a decade before of the fall of the Berlin wall. They went on after this album to do the musical chess - also set in the cold war. Bjorn recently made a speech in support of Ukraine. He is still very passionate about this issue. Great reaction.

Thank you both for sharing this, I love your channel ! Agnetha's 'Soldiers' is a critique of militarism. Billboard explains "emphasizing that although there seems to be so little one can do to prevent the machinations of soldiers and those who control them, we must "not look the other way/taking a chance/cos if the bugle starts to play/we too must dance". The Telegraph describes the premise of the song as "how warmongers convince themselves they are noble men".

As the album released I didn't notice this song. Years later I heard in an interview the inspiration and now it's a masterpiece for me: this oppressive synth and guitar sound fits the lyrics brilliantly, not forgot the driving soldiers drum beats. With the title track and the final song Like An Angel Passing Trough My Room these three songs and the album cover - as Richard Keane wrote already - were and are expressions of the Cold War with the immense military rearmament on both sides around 1980 (US Reagan with Europaon on one and Soviet Breschnew on the other). Melissa and Tyler you couldn't react on a more topical topic: a song that is easy to miss. All the best specially for all the people in all countries who only want peace and peaceful coexistence for all!!! Only ❤ counts!!!

Love this song, very moody like One of Us. You gotta check out Head Over Heels, so energetic and fun!

Love this. Never heard it before. It’s a grower 🙂

I listen to that every Christmas Eve. [Don't know why, maybe it's because it makes me think of those old-fashioned ghost stories🤔].

Y'all should really react to the Medley that ABBA put out as a B-side to "Summer Night City" containing: "Pick A Bale of Cotton", "On Top of Old Smokey", and "Midnight Special" ..I really think you guys will love the production value they put into it, originally recorded in 1975, they shelved it until 1978; when they remastered it and polished it up some and released it as the B-side to "Summer Night City", which at the time was a stand alone single that wasn't on any album (until it was included on "Greatest Hits Vol.2") so at that time you could only get both if you had the single, and the medley didn't surface on any album until it was on 1994's "Thank You For The Music" box set.

I have listened to Soldier for many years already. However, now I realize that this song fits perfectly on Voyage as well.

I love this. One of the darker songs on the album.

It was a good choice to have Agnetha be the lead for this song, since she has the more vulnerable tone. It seems to basically be a warning not to put political decisions in the hands of the military. I think a form of military conscription/national service was around when Bjorn & Benny were young, so they have that experience too.

'Elaine' should be next, and then 'Gonna Sing You My Love Song'.

Great Scandi drummer Per Lindval on drums to this deep cut from Abba's seductive darkest album.

One of the best songs from ABBA's later, "darker" period.

You realize a small common theme with "The Piper"? "We're following a strange melody... we're following the piper..." = "If the bugler starts to play, we too must dance..." Both carrying the theme of being lured into something, of an irresistible influence, that might lead to something very bad. In the story of the rat catcher, the citizens suffered the loss of their children, due to their cheating and greed. here, the bugler (signal trumpeter of the military) calls for war and destruction, due to the greed of warmongers. In parts of the bridges in this song, they definitively quote the guitar-play of "Eagle"

I always get winter war or war between the Soviet Union and Finland. Even though it is not about that. Especially lines "Is it true that the beast is waking" and "Is it only a storm approaching?

There were a couple songs recorded during this session that didn't make it to the album, but are released and are just as good. Casandra and Should I Laugh Or Cry. Both should have been included on the released album.

Please, please, please react to BANG-A-BOOMERANG! It’s awesome, brilliant, Frida & Agnetha sing together on lead vocals. Brilliant reactions guys 🤩🤩

Thank you guys to this beautiful song, witch is not that popular but also amazing in their harmonies and catchy anyway. I really love it your reaction especially in those moments where emotions came out like my goose skin at the same time. Abba is the best pop I had listened to during decades and maybe always. I can't imagine that there is something comparable in harmonies and voices, angel like.

A warning about war if we don't all actively pay attention and actively pursue peace if we don't do that we too must dance along with those happy, strong looking soldiers to the grim realities of war. Love the song :)) Also Tyler I really think the piper is one that grows with every listen if you ever get the chance to try it again a few times. Plus talking about the dangers of authoritarian leaders and crowds following them is interesting.

From the same era, but not included in the album: Should I Laugh or Cry, B-side of One of Us (1981). Painful, frustrated and rather angry sounding lead vocals by Frida. Both the verses and the chorus are amazing, though it could be argued that they don't necessarily fit togehter. However, the verses are so good, it's still a masterpiece.

Soldiers march to their own beat, sing their kind of songs because they live outside the mainstream of society. Because of what they have to do. Many soldiers would understand this.

Love that you loved Soldiers - can't wait for the aftershow because the song has several possible meanings - my take on it is that it's about the question : if there's a military to act as a deterrent (keeping/defending the peace) - just by them being there doesn't this eventually leads to war even if there's only an intention to keep the 🕊️ peace ? I would like to suggest a couple of songs from the Waterloo album because you haven't done a lot of music from that - Gonna Sing You My Love Song + What About Livingstone (both a bit of a change from the last few ABBA songs you've reacted to). Watch Out - also from the Waterloo album -is fantastic as well.

This is one of the Songs that help me to remember of the Feeling of all my Desire at the Time I was a young Guy 👍

yeah, I like the rhythm, the drums and guitar work, and especially the vocals. it's ironic that Abba is Swedish, and Sweden was a neutral country in the Cold War (despite the Soviets intruding into their territory, by sea and air). compared to this patriotic-sounding song, contrast the West German Nena and 99 Luftballons which took a definitely opposed view to "we too must dance" 🤨 anyway, this is one of the uptempo songs on The Visitors. hard to imagine that just a year before, they were confidently singing "Who are you to talk about impending doom?" and now it's "In the grip of this cold December, you and I have reason to remember." nothing happened between 1980 and 1981 to warrant this dread and fear. "Keep on rockin', baby, 'til the night is gone..."

"Is it true that the beast is waking"...so goddamned prophetic. The beast is the bear or Russia, you see the war in Ukraine and this song encapsulated the apprehension of the early 80s in Europe as we really thought nuclear war would break out. Love your reactions. The music you guys are reacting to is aeons ahead of the dreck that attempts to pass for music today. 40 years on you kids and many others are discovering them. Somehow I think Beyonce, Bieber, Swift and Perry not to mention that awful rap will have been condemned to be forgotten. Check out Agnetha's solo hit when she was 16 "I was so in love"/

Ahh was waiting for your reaction when that chorus hits you, I remember it still myself. Marissa’s tease about not meeting her expectations and Tyler wondering what she is on about! 😂 It’s nice seeing you marching through ABBA’s songs, there are a couple I wouldn’t bother with!

Anni-Frid is the best!!!

I think you haven't done Head Over Heels yet, also from The Visitors. Very different in a way... and I know you pay attention to the storytelling and the harmonies... well, you're in for a treat songwriting wise. Give it a go...

I remember Bjorn saying it's an anti war song

Another great Agnetha lead!

@@martinbatallan3734 Menneke tells nonsense again or he is deaf, because in the chorus there are of course also vocals from Frida. There is no ABBA song sung by Agnetha alone. But I wouldn't go so far to say that the best part of this song is sung by Frida. I would say the song comes alive when Frida joins Agnetha. 😊
