ABBA Our Last Summer Reaction reaction starts at 01:18 1. This is so nostalgic for teenage romances. This totally makes me remember mines 2. The Lyrics are fantacular 3. Love the cut time during the guitar solo. It's a really slow one but it sounds great. 4. I put this on the list of hidden gems
It's a beautiful, evocative, nostalgic, wistful song that conjures up memories of a youthful Parisian romance superbly. The arrangement and production is perfect and Frida delivers one of her best ever vocal tracks on this one. It's a glowing example of how ABBA was so much more than a 'disco' band who only excelled at creating three minute pop singles.
Actually I just realised that it is this song that "makes" the musical and both movies. It says all about the character Harry in one sentence and gives the whole background for a meeting in Paris and adds to the illusion that the music was actually written for the musical
One of their most exceptional works. Takes me back to Paris each time I hear it. I swear I can even smell French bread baking, and the taste of Orange name too.
I loved this song back in 1980 when it first came out, and I still love it just as much now in 2021. Talk about longevity. It's sounds as if it were written today. ABBA's music is truly timeless.
This a such a beautiful song with great lyrics. The song literally comes to life. I think this song was overshadowed by some of the other big songs on the album like The Winner takes it all, Super Trouper and Lay all your love all me. Good stuff.
Beautiful song, superbly performed. Nobody did it better than ABBA. Super Trouper was the best selling album of 1980 in The UK & you have to sell a LOT to achieve that.
The whole Super Trouper album is great. Listen to "The Piper" and "Happy New Year" But, I remember the first time I listened to the (in this case) cassette tape in my old Panasonic radio/cassette player and this song came on. I thought it was so beautiful and still to this day it sounds as beautiful and fresh as it did all those years ago in my early days in Boston.
I was already melancholic when I was a kid, so this song touched me right from the beginning. Even as a teenager I could forsee this could be a song I would relate to as an adult. And so it is, I'm 57 now and it listening to this song feels exactly like I thought it would 40 years ago.
Another hidden gem is Kisses of Fire, on the Voulez Vous album. Our Last Summer is my favorite track on Super Trouper. The vocals are amazing and it’s so emotional and nostalgic. So I completely agree with your reaction!
Interesting. It wouldn’t be my favourite Frida-led song, but it is wonderful. I’d be hard pressed to pick a favourite of hers as she has so many great songs. For Agnetha it’s easy… she has several good songs but Winner Takes it All is perfection. Close second would be Slipping Through My Fingers or Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie
I never listen to this song, but when Super Trouper came out, I loved it. Thanks for having me listening to it again. It's wonderfuld, and the vocals are amazing.
This is a beautiful song from - in my opinion - ABBA’s best album, thanks for reacting. You should react to Me And I, another hidden gem from the same album, there’s a brilliant live version of it from the Dick Cavett show which shows exactly why Frida is so amazing.
This is a really good song. The whole album is awesome. Lay all your love on me, The piper and Me and I and Andante, Andante. Please react to those, at least.
Another video of it has 12 million views. It's an album track rather than a single so it could last a bit longer than normal, maybe that's why there's the extended guitar solo.
This song really captures the feeling of Paris, you actually feel like youre there experiencing it all with her as she's reminiscing about a summer romance. Wonderful Song, Huge Selling Album, best selling album of 1980 in The UK.
@@discogareth tks for the information, but... the lyrics do suggest a great deal of sexual images and metaphors. Can you imagine the impact on Agnetha and Frida asking you:: 'what if I eat you"?!?!!? But, I've appreciated your comment anyway, my friend.
@@ekerowillow1610 So is Dum Dum Diddle, but people just dismiss that without even interpreting it either, really lazy to me, but always easy to just repeat what others say which is most people's approach to things. Tiger is a decent track but I like Dum Dum Diddle even more.
You often ask why a song didn't do that well, but back in the day of LPs only a few songs would be released as singles and the rest remained 'album tracks'. Should have been a single though.
The song was only an Album track from Super Trouper and never a single. The thing with ABBA is they tried very hard to maintain the quality even with album tracks, there are not many album tracks that could not have been successful singles.
Thanks for the ABBA. Anni-Frid turned 75 on the 15th. Happy Birthday Dancing Queen. You know you should do something from "Chess". Maybe "I Know Him So Well". You get perspective on what was going on in the band. The guy's are moving away from POP.
These tracks only prove that ABBA were not simply a 'singles band'. There really isn't much, if any, filler from their third album onwards. And the attention to detail. This is a sample of the isolated harmonies underneath the guitar solo that the listener is sublimely hearing. ua-cam.com/video/SiONLh5YOiA/v-deo.html

Happy birthday to the wonderful Frida, who sings lead on this amazing song. (yesterday she had her 75th !).
Yes Happy Birthday Frida!
Frida was the greatest lead vocal on a group that had three of them, Frida, Agnetha, and Bjorn.
Masterpieces, that is what all the Abba songs are!
Even Suzy Hang Around? Lol. Some of their older stuff isn’t very good, but no band or artist is perfect.
It's a beautiful, evocative, nostalgic, wistful song that conjures up memories of a youthful Parisian romance superbly.

This is very true, Syncronicity Man! 😃🎶👍
Never heard this song. It's terrific. Made me cry, too, thinking about summers with my family.
Now you know what you might discover if you'd only listen to more ABBA albums 😉
I was so happy when this song ended up being used in the Mamma Mia movie because it deserves more exposure. A gorgeous song.
Actually I just realised that it is this song that "makes" the musical and both movies. It says all about the character Harry in one sentence and gives the whole background for a meeting in Paris and adds to the illusion that the music was actually written for the musical
I love this song so much! As a 14 year old surrounded by rap music constantly, music like this keeps me happy :)
that's a very beautiful balad. Amazing
One of their most exceptional works. Takes me back to Paris each time I hear it. I swear I can even smell French bread baking, and the taste of Orange name too.

Yes jay, this sounds so pretty. Every time I see their faces I can only think of, knowing you. Knowing me. I love that song. 💞💞💞
This a such a beautiful song with great lyrics. The song literally comes to life. I think this song was overshadowed by some of the other big songs on the album like The Winner takes it all, Super Trouper and Lay all your love all me. Good stuff.
Magnificent song
Beautiful & melancholy - that chorus cuts deep, one of my faves and so underated.
Beautiful song, superbly performed. Nobody did it better than ABBA. Super Trouper was the best selling album of 1980 in The UK & you have to sell a LOT to achieve that.
Ya back when musicians sold physical almbums. Hard to think that wasn’t that long ago.
ABBA Reaction🤩🤩🤩
The whole Super Trouper album is great. Listen to "The Piper" and "Happy New Year" But, I remember the first time I listened to the (in this case) cassette tape in my old Panasonic radio/cassette player and this song came on. I thought it was so beautiful and still to this day it sounds as beautiful and fresh as it did all those years ago in my early days in Boston.
You really do have a journey to go on with ABBA as there are so many gems. This is a fantastic track and sounds so fresh 40 years on!
Such a beautiful song
yes for sure.
One of my Top5 ABBA-Songs! :)
I was already melancholic when I was a kid, so this song touched me right from the beginning. Even as a teenager I could forsee this could be a song I would relate to as an adult. And so it is, I'm 57 now and it listening to this song feels exactly like I thought it would 40 years ago.

Our Last Summer is my favorite track on Super Trouper. The vocals are amazing and it’s so emotional and nostalgic. So I completely agree with your reaction!
Perhapas, your most emotional ABBA-reaction till now... And,,,The bass is sick, man, the bass is sick...
Agnetha's most fave song among the songs that Frida sang as the lead.
Interesting. It wouldn’t be my favourite Frida-led song, but it is wonderful. I’d be hard pressed to pick a favourite of hers as she has so many great songs. For Agnetha it’s easy… she has several good songs but Winner Takes it All is perfection. Close second would be Slipping Through My Fingers or Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie
@@graphiquejack def the winner takes it all was her iconic.
This was an album track, and at least here in the US, it wasn't released as a single. I LOVE this song!!
I never listen to this song, but when Super Trouper came out, I loved it. Thanks for having me listening to it again. It's wonderfuld, and the vocals are amazing.
Amazing lead guitar by the great Lasse Wellander
For me, the best nostalgic song about teenage youth is Summer, the First Time by Bobby Goldsboro. Beautiful song that everyone can relate to.....
This is a beautiful song from - in my opinion - ABBA’s best album, thanks for reacting. You should react to Me And I, another hidden gem from the same album, there’s a brilliant live version of it from the Dick Cavett show which shows exactly why Frida is so amazing.
The next should be "Happy New Year". "Elaine" is very interesting music stuff, in my opinion.
This is a really good song. The whole album is awesome. Lay all your love on me, The piper and Me and I and Andante, Andante. Please react to those, at least.
another frida song that's powerful, I wonder
She sounds great
Our Last Summer was an album track. Never meant to be a single release. Not a case of it not doing well.
Another video of it has 12 million views. It's an album track rather than a single so it could last a bit longer than normal, maybe that's why there's the extended guitar solo.
really? but even 12 milllion for ABBA...that's not that much. I mean comparatively speaking.
@@jaybrielakoi7747 Many people know the singles, but most don't know the albums.

I visited Paris at Easter 1976 and on a European tour in April 1983. When I want to go back there, I put on this song and close my eyes.
Powerfull! Awesome! THE TIGER official video, with its hot adult lyrics (considering 1976!) waits for you!!
Adult lyrics?! It’s one of their most childish! 😂
@@discogareth No, it isn't. The song is full of metaphors.
@@ekerowillow1610 metaphors, yes maybe. ‘Hot adult lyrics’. Far from it!
@@discogareth tks for the information, but... the lyrics do suggest a great deal of sexual images and metaphors. Can you imagine the impact on Agnetha and Frida asking you:: 'what if I eat you"?!?!!? But, I've appreciated your comment anyway, my friend.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned the song "Fernando" yet, but that is one you must see. The atmosphere just takes you away.
You often ask why a song didn't do that well, but back in the day of LPs only a few songs would be released as singles and the rest remained 'album tracks'. Should have been a single though.
That opening with the lion roar is hilarious. I love it.
(music that moved my mind)

Fuzz tone guitar in the middle like a Carpenter's song.
Thanks for the ABBA. Anni-Frid turned 75 on the 15th. Happy Birthday Dancing Queen. You know you should do something from "Chess". Maybe "I Know Him So Well". You get perspective on what was going on in the band. The guy's are moving away from POP.
Like the synth/keyboard riff in second verse 2:37.
2:37 is such a beautiful, flourishing moment in the song. Abba had such beautiful little hooks in so many of their songs, such creativity!
These tracks only prove that ABBA were not simply a 'singles band'. There really isn't much, if any, filler from their third album onwards. And the attention to detail. This is a sample of the isolated harmonies underneath the guitar solo that the listener is sublimely hearing.

You should review the entire Super Trouper album. Not one bad song!
