yes i remember buying the cassette album lol and than it would spool off lol and you had to rewind the bloody thing lol this was my era when music was real

In the history of popular music there is no other blend of two voices as good incredible vocals harmonies unison.

It's so inspiring to see two young American people appreciate ABBA. I am a middle-aged Swedish man who grew up when ABBA had its heyday. Back then I thought they were ok but it is after their reunion I notice their real greatness. I noticed how much they represent the Swedish mentality. Anni-Frid, Benny, Björn and Agneta's personalities are like a symbol of the Swedish mentality - so much talent but also with blackness and melancholy. ABBA is such a good representative of us Swedes on the one hand liberal and open but on the other hand shy deep and melancholy at the same time. Go ABBA GO!

At one time, I would’ve thought that strange. But that was before I heard the entire Abba Gold album played in the background of a Tex-Mex restaurant.

Those girls did magic with their voices.

Yes!!! The harmonies from Agnetha and Frida never disappoint! Their voices are ANGELIC ❤️ My favourite band for all time. Iconic!

The vocal blend is incredible from Faltskog and Lyngstad it will never be matched! Its like a choir very beautiful.

For story telling their late song "Cassandra" is pretty excellent - about the heroine of the Greek myth - and bits of it are in 6/8 :-)

I don't think anyone's mentioned him but the engineer Tretow found a way to blend their voices like this. Eventually they gave him a share of royalties by the late 70s.

He is the one that gave Frida the biggest compliment a singer can ever get from a sound recording engineer..In an interview (KZread) he was talking about Frida's balanced, full, warm timbre... He called her voice "hi-fi" (high-fidelity). ABBA: Bright Lights Dark Shadows The Real Story of ABBA By Carl Magnus Palm I'm this book Benny, Bjorn and Michael Tretow ABBA's engineer considered Frida a master vocalist as well as her peers.

I've listened to this song for years, and I'm always amazed at how insanely good the harmonies in the chorus are

"KISSES OF FIRE" is another fave great album track.If you ever do this,the video is from "ABBA IN Switzerland".Agnetha's 40secs solo intro is seductive and icebirg-melting.

Talking about harmonies and production, the chorus in Lay All Your Love On Me will give you spine tingles. So good. Still amazes me how much they care about every little detail in a song. No matter how many times you listen to them, they'll keep surprising you. Always nice to see you both. I'm not sure Marisa knows her name comes from a combination of two Spanish names :María and Luisa. It was common some decades ago in Spain and Latin America to name the children (boys and girls) with María (Virgin Mary) as first or middle name. Then, to make it shorter, people would call Marisa the girls named María Luisa. 😉

please react to abba = THATS ME . FANTASTIC SONG

If you haven’t checked it out yet, „As Good As New“ is on the same album as „Angeleyes“ and it’s one of their best album tracks ever, imo.

I highly recommend: 'When I Kissed The Teacher', 'I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do', 'Mamma Mia' 'Ring Ring', 'Waterloo', 'Take A Chance On Me', 'Lay All Your Love On Me' - All of these were massive hits. Really enjoying these reactions!

You guys need to listen to As Good As New, Lovers (live a little longer) and Kisses of Fire all off the Voulez Vouz album. You will love them

Abba-time,this is a meeting point for many of us.That was a top 3 hit from the shiny disco-is No1 lp"VOULEZ VOUS?"which originally gave 4 top-3UK hits,1 top 5 plus 2 more stoundout uk top 3hit singles around this period that were later incuded on it's cd full edition"Summernight-city"/"Gimme!gimme!gimme!".Total 7 top HITS.But you still keep missing the most requested album track by us the fantastic"IF IT WASN'T FOR THE NIGHTS".The song that Abba finally dismissed from being a single for the shake of "CHIQUITITA" but also a huge fans fave.

This song has become latetly a big tik tok trend on its sped up version!So glad about it.

Hi Guys, another great reaction video to ABBA😀 This was released here in the UK as a double A side along with Voulez-Vous in 1979, though this didn't get as much airplay I thought this was equally as good💕 Loving your energy when you do these reaction videos💥😎 Keep up the good work. 💖🇬🇧😷

My favorite abba songs were the ones that were not major hits. Hidden gems!

As always I love your reactions of Abba! It's fun for an oldie like me who was young when this was released to see the appriciations of a new generation loving it as much as me!!❤❤

One of their best, and most overlooked, hits imo.

One of my favs (in my top 10 for sure) so glad you loved it! I recommend Soldiers next followed by The Piper

One of my top 3 ABBA songs. I would also recommend you That's Me, Lay All Your Love On Me, Summer Night City, Kisses Of Fire, Bang-A-Boomerang. Lots of love!

You reacted to Angeleyes the way that I did. I would like to recommend listening to “Andante Andante” and “Kisses of Fire” for these super songs will hit you in the same way!

This is one of my favorite songs from their Voulez-Vous album. I believe that from beginning to end, it's their best album. The next song of theirs I'd like you to react to is "Soldiers" from their final album. Altogether different kind of lyrics from them.

I’m 46 and grew up with ABBA, it’s so heartwarming to see younger generations enjoying what we loved way back when. You next reaction should be ‘Slipping Through My Fingers’ !!❤

ABBA knew how to produce their songs, adding just the right instruments added to a killer beat.

The harmonies in angeleyes are heavenly 😍

Beautiful song.. Beautiful reaction.

"He'll take your heart" godd, that part sounds like heaven 🥺

I am still waiting for reaction someday to "Should I laugh or cry" and "I am the city" :)

You seriously need to react to the voulez vous album version of “if it wasn’t for the nights” wow what a floor filler… and it was originally going to be the main lead single from voulez vous before Chiquitita came along for the year of the child 1979

I love how much you guys love ABBA, and Tyler's sheer joy listening to them is a pleasure to watch. ABBA were masters of pure pop gems like this, but I am a real fan of their darker stuff. You guys have commented on their story telling before....can I suggest you listen to 'Like An Angel Passing Through My Room', a stripped back and chilling lullaby from 1981's 'The Visitors'? It is the other end of the spectrum to 'Angeleyes'. They took a long time to get to the right treatment of the song....the bonus track 'From a twinkling star to a passing angel' blends some of these, including disco and pop treatments. As good as some of these are, in the end, they threw them all out and went with a minimalist approach, exactly as the haunting lyrics and Frida's breathtaking vocals deserve. There are so many hidden gems, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this one.

high simply for being high is not always great... tbh, I found that the guys often pushed both women's voices to the max... in Agnetha's case, because her voice is higher naturally than Frida's, at her max it sounds, to me, shrill. That shriek in Hole in Your Soul, and the one at the end of Tiger, ruins the song.

You hit the note. I love how you dissect the music: the chord progressions; the instruments; the vocal lines, harmonies, melody, lyrics; the sweet bass. Keep it coming.

I am a big ABBA fan, and I love many of their songs, however 'Angel Eyes' is my absolute favorite.

As a child/teenager I always used to take the dog for walk along the river Chess (incidentally, later, a Benny/Bjorn musical) and every time I heard “I was taking a walk along the river” I thought ‘Yeah! That’s me, now!”

Great reaction! You should hear Happy New Year. It's a great song and I think you'll like the deep meaning behind it.

I always seem to put this track right next to Under Attack. Somehow the two go tighter in my mind. Love your reaction videos, keep them coming!

Oh youre so young. So nice to see youre reactions. I grew up in Scandinavia with all of ABBA's music.....it's in my system....all of it. And it's still the very best music of all times....

I think you'll really love Kisses of fire by ABBA or When I kissed the teacher by ABBA based on this reaction :)) Still waiting on "Lay all your love on me" by ABBA however ;) Or the ABBA video with their song "So Long" with the title "made for export by Sweden" after it which shows of some super energetic dance moves. Or the super theatrical, enchanting and beautiful "I let the music speak" by ABBA, or perhaps the beautifully happiest of tunes called "Thank You for the music" by ABBA that just makes you wish to grin and agree as you watch Agnetha smile joyfully whilst singing it. Anywho there's far far more great tunes than that to discover by ABBA and I'm just impatient for all of it :p Enjoy!

I haven’t heard this song in thirty years or more. It’s still excellent. 🙂 You must see Abba (live at Wembley1979) “The Way Old Friends Do”. It could bring a tear to a glass eye. Thanks from Ireland ☘️ 🙏🏻

This is one of my ABBA faves. They make a perfect pop song yet the music and storytelling is always so complex. You should try find them performing “Kisses of Fire”.

Ok there are some sad facts behind this brilliant song. It is the ONLY ABBA single that doesn't have a video and was NEVER played live (well, I think Lay Your Love On Me, neither). Benny and Bjorn didn't like the song, which is a pity. For me, this one and As Good As New are the best songs from the album.

The ABBA were simply unique.

this is one of my favorites from ABBA, throws me back to my childhood! I was way too young to know how the chord structures worked, but remember telling my mom that it made me feel happy & sad at the same time. I'm still chasing that in music I write to this day.

This is one of my favorite songs, I just love the melodies and the harmonies and lyrics and the production is just fantastic. Voulez Vous is their most "dancey" album, it's just bop after bop but also has some more emotional sweet songs. I heard Angeleyes is just one word because another song by the same name was released around the same time so they changed it to not confuse people, but also in Swedish we would write it as one word so that could also be why. I love seeing people my age enjoying ABBA, your reactions make me so happy!

That bass, wow

One of my favourites. Great lyrics and a really catchy melody. You’re right, ABBA just don’t miss. Every song is brilliant in its own way. Pls pls pls can you react to I’ve Been Waiting For You. This is my absolute favourite ABBA song …you’re missing out guys, it’s brilliant 😊

Go listen to The Czars cover version of Angeleyes - it lays bare the sadness that is somewhat disguised by ABBA's cheerful sounding arrangement.

I always loved this song, but I enjoy it even more now. The angelic harmonies and melody.... Amazing keyboard/synths. Like Ricardo said; every little detail!

One of my favourite songs at my teenage times - and it is still on my playlist 👍🥳

Great reaction once again! Really enjoyed going on this ABBA journey along with you guys these past few months. Next up…Lay All Your Love on Me, or If it wasn’t for the nights?

Please react to ‘lm a Marionette “

Hello! You listen to Abba's wonderful song Angel Eyes and thought about how long time the song is ? The answer is 4:21 minutes. Quite a long time to be an Abba song. But it would have been twice as long if I had to decide ❤️🎵🎶 Have a good times folks 🙋

Your ABBA reaction videos are so sweet and genuine! Try to react to some of ABBA´s earlier songs - for example "Gonna sing you my lovesong" from the Waterloo album from 1974! Or their first single ever as a group "People need love" from 1972! Or "Dance - while the music sstill goes on" from the "ABBA" album from 1975! They are all real gems!

I love how your generation are discovering how high quality and high standards in music writing used to be. It was of that standard! Today's stuff omg 😲

If It Wasn’t for the Nights, Angeleyes and As Good As New, 3 FINE songs from the Voulez Vous album.

I remember when I first got a copy of the Voulez Vous album and the first time I listened to it. The next track on the album is called "The King Has Lost his Crown" and it really is a terrific number. In some senses it's Angeleyes Pt 2, as this time 'The King' is the loser. It's a much more soulful number. Please listen to it. It's a shame you didn't get into Abba in the 1970s but better late than never. Great stuff Marissa and TCC. Well done.
