Finally "I Let The Music Speak" getting the appreciation it deserves! One of my top 5 favorite ABBA songs, and criminally underrated, the average listener who 'acknowledges' the existence of ABBA never knows this song. Frida's ABBA solos are among my favorites too.
I know I absolutely love this song!! The Visitors is one of my favorite albums from ABBA although I feel like it isn’t widely known since they didn’t promote it at all. Soooo underrated!!
This Singing and Songarengement`s are Genious - You write a song ok BUT this arrengement`s !
Frida has the most beautiful voice in recorded music history
Like An Angel Passing Through My Room is also truly exceptional and singular, sparse and evocative.
Frida is other worldly on this song, just absolutely magnificent. But more than that Bjorn's lyrics are incredible too. Doesn't this song, and it's lyrics, capture the essence of why we love music?
Michael B. Tretow ABBA's Studio Technician said in an interview that The ABBA Girls had their part in the song arrangement's and the spec. Agnetha's Song Ideas could take an ABBA song In An entirely new direction ua-cam.com/video/cMz--1d9C3s/v-deo.html the four ABBA members were a perfect POP Match Later ABBA Musicals are world-class Good Musicals with other women's leagues singers super clean and super skilled singers - Technically BUT they "Are "Clean and Technically" ok But it" does`nt sound ABBA and it doesn't come up to the same level as Agnetha and Frida's song sound and feeling
This is one of the best Abba songs and I have been singing it, since its original release. I really love it. And you are so right on about Frida and that ethereal quality she brings to ABBA songs! You are both the best ABBA reactors and you really get ABBA! YOU REALLY DO! BRAVO, TO BOTH OF YOU! GREAT TEAM!
You can tell in this song Benny & Björn were heading towards musicals. Frida is just out of this world here. Love your reactions guys. Cheers from Spain!
When Frida was interviewd a few months ago on BBC Radio 2, at the end she was asked which song she'd like them to play and she chose this one.
In fact, it could be placed as part of the mini-musical 'Girl with the golden hair' from Abba the Album. I'm on Team Frida too.
I thought she was going to chose "One man one woman" when asked by Zoe B. in that Nov'21 BBC interview.But she was even more "peculiar" in her choice.She must really love a lot this special song.
@@alexioverdo5225 Yes it was an unexpeted choie but I think a very genuine & interesting one.
And remember...ALL the vocals are ABBA - even that choir! It's always their own vocals!
Not always. The choir in I Have A Dream is a young children’s school choir.
@@nickavenoso7851 well yes, apart from that and Little Things that are obviously children.
@@terrykemp1876 Yes. I totally forgot about Little Things. I love that song. How could I forget about it…? Lol. Other than those two songs all the backing vocals are all ABBA.
Stig Anderson/Polar Music getting Frida to commit to a pop group, which was not easy, was a HUGE get! Agnetha is great, but fits the standard upper chest pop singer. Frida fits in the classically trained vocalist category. Keen ear, diaphragmatic breathing, huge range, total control of her instrument.
i’m a huge huge ABBA fan and this reaction made my entire day so much better 😭
"Bordering on eerie vibe," said Marissa describing Frida's voice. I've been listening to Abba for 45 years and you, lady, have absolutely nailed the description. Frida's voice does bring an eerie vibe and a soulful depth to each song. Loved your reaction to this one. Please listen to Put on Your White Sombrero for more eerie vibe, and more great music.
Please, please, please review Put On Your White Sombrero!! Frida's lead vocals are just aaaaamazing!! You and Marissa will just love it!!
A lesser known fact about Frida....she started out singing in jazz clubs, doing the classic jazz & Motown standards, it definitely resonated in her voice, especially on classics like this and "Money, Money, Money" as Marissa mentioned.
Frida’s favourite song!
It is known that this is one of Frida’s favorite ABBA songs. No wonder she chose to sing this instead of Agnetha. This has classical, love ballad then finally march vibes! The next track to this song is One Of Us. Another musical vibes sung by Frida is “I Wonder (Departure)”. I think she really shines on this song. I highly recommend that you react to this one next. It’s off their The Album album.
omg I LOVE “I Wonder (Departure)” !! And the live version is absolutely amazing
Well I don't think Agnetha could've done it anyway near Fridas delivery. It's just not the type of song that fits her light soprano. The song has to be sung dramatically. Fridas best vocals in my opinion ❣️
You're starting to sound like real ABBA fans... where your favorite song is always the last one you hear, soon to be replaced by the next. Love your reactions!
A very underrated song, and one of Frida's best. Definitely a musical-type song, they've done a few of those:
- Thank You For The Music
- I Wonder (Departure) [also by Frida, and just as beautiful]
- I'm A Marionette [that song will blow you away]
Other great songs by Frida: 'Our Last Summer', 'Should I Laugh Or Cry', 'Cassandra', 'One Man One Woman', 'Me And I'. Also check out 'The Way Old Friends Do' (the version on the Super Trouper album), it's just incredible.
"Gonna Sing You My Lovesong" is also a fantastic song with Frida doing the lead....just gut wrenching, with a soaring "ABBA" chorus. One of their best songs from their second album 'Waterloo'.
They have already reacted to Our Last Summer and One Man, One Woman.
I have a friend who only knew ABBA for their disco/dance tracks and when I forced her to listen to I let the music speak, her initial reaction was, "This is ABBA?" No way this is ABBA! "😂 Her jaw dropped the entire song and fell in love with it. She's like" i never knew abba can have a song like this"
YES! People kind of "pigeon hole" ABBA to that "disco" sound...and they have no clue what this group is capable of musically...and when I get people to listen to other songs from them that aren't of the typical nature, I love their reaction! That's why I love the Voyage concert, because it blends so many different sounds from them and showcases some that wouldn't normally be known.
ABBA did almost everything in all music genres, and all in great way
ABBA could be a frenetic and bizarre rock like "Hole in your soul" or a heartbroken song like "The winner takes it all" or a gorgeous ballad like "My love my life" or epic song like "I still have faith in You", all brillant
I still remember very well the day the LP "The Visitors" was released, November 30, 1981, the day of my 19th birthday. My best gift ever. Of course bought the album that day, in our village, with the bike there and back home full of excitement. Run to my room, set up a record player, LP on the turntable and listen. First heard every song from the A-side, flipped the disc and there it was.....the first time listening to "I let the music speak". WHAT IS THIS????? Will never forget that moment. Without listening to the other songs I must have listened to this at least 10 times. With tears in my eyes. So proud of Benny and Björn for writing this. Since then I keep saying this is my all time favorite Abba song. Watching your review brought tears to my eyes again, your reaction reminded me of what I felt 41 years ago. So proud to be Abbafan. It sounds cliche but thanks anyway Abba for the music.
I’m a longtime ABBA fan and am just now listening to this song for the very first time. Thank you for that great reaction. Love the song!
Perfect!!! Cassandra is still out there. Another amazing story song.
You must do Should I laugh or cry,another Frida lead.Marissa will love it.
Yes!!! and "You Owe Me One" as well....they are both classic later ABBA tracks!
From "The King kong song" and "Watch out!" to "I let the music speak".Would you believe this?Abba's "widescreen soundscape" proved they could write and sing so much more than their main pop genre.
"Watch Out" is one of my favourite of them
@@dorojessy6932 mines too.A wilder fave.
Oooo and Hole In Your Soul!!
This is closer to their schlager (folk, cabaré, vaudeville) roots though, than rock and funk/disco was.
Wow!! This reaction actually brought tears to my eyes! I think even I (a huge Abba fan) underestimated this song.. but your incredible reaction changed my attention to it! Thanks 🙏
I Let The Music Speak is the genesis of Who I Want To Be from their musical Chess. You can here clearly how similar they are.
Tyler is very excitable.
Loved your reactions. This has been one of my favorite songs since it's release. Frida sounds so good, but then again, she always does. Fantastic piece of music.
wonderful, amazing review. brought me back to '81 when I put that needle on the vinyl and was blown away by the whole album especially this song. Their dark masterpiece, sung ethereally by Frida.
Frida is a pro vocalist that took Stig Anderson Polar Music over a year and a sweet deal contract in 1972 to secure.
Oh my, I love this song.
Those notes Frida hits toward the end of the song gives me goosebumps. Very few artists can do that to me; Linda Ronstadt being another. Back to Frida. This is her at her finest. She shines on this one; one my favorites by her. Loved your reaction too. Love the way you love Abba, Tyler & Marissa. If you could please do a Linda Ronstadt, please try "The Sound of My Voice" or "Adios" from her Cry Like a Rainstorm CD. I GUARANTEE you won't be disappointed. She has a voice range (one of a few) comparable to Agnetha and Frida. Looking forward to Voules-vous. Put on your disco shoes.
"Me and I" has a great Frida sound with soaring synths sounds and an altered voice in parts while mixing with Agnetha's Harmonies .
Just subscribed. Love your reaction both!
Frida chose this song to be played when she phoned into BBC Radio 2 last year around the time of the Voyage album release. Her vocals shine as does the entire production.
Anyone who thinks Abba are "just a Euro-pop disco group" need to educate themselves in the hidden gems of their back catalogue ❤️
Frida brings it home!
Did you guys do, No Doubt About It? Another amazing Frida lead vocal on a true banger, but from 2021!
Tyler reacted to the complete Voyage album
This is the true joy of ABBA, finding those deep cuts on the albums that aren’t in the mainstream. Really made me smile seeing your reactions to this, I’ve loved this song for 40 years 😂
I’ve always been on team Frida, to me there’s just something about her songs that really resonates with me.
I get completely excited when I hear Frida sing this wonderful song! So happy that you too are happy. As I can you see and hear! 😂🤣 Many people probably do not know that Abba does not just sing disco. So good that you play so many different songs by them! Thank you so much‼ ️👍💕🎵🎶
This and our last summer are my favorite Frida lead song.
Finally!!! The one ive wanted you to react to more than any other! Its a masterpiece and my 2nd fav ABBA track ever. Its not a pop track (even though its on a pop album), its musical theatre!! Absolutely stunning, i feel im at the opera when i listen to this! And Frida totally owns this song. Please my react to Soldiers next, my number 1 fav!!
Did you react to Abba's " Like an Angel Passing through my room? Also sung only by Frida. It will give you goosebumps
By the way the choir is just ABBA singing and layering the different notes on top of one another in the studio. Also if you loved this I reckon you should check out a song by ABBA called "Soldiers" as well as "The Piper" by ABBA, and another more musical one with an awesome video is agnetha singing "thank you for the music" one of the most joyful songs out there. On another note I love Frida's voice in this and she shows such a good side of her voice in the song "Like an Angel Passing through my room" too which is just beautiful and sad a song.
Abbas 'Bohemian Rhapsody'! An eclectic mix of many influences perfectly wrapped up into utter perfection! Note the 'Dance of the sugar plum fairy' in there along with many other classic influences. Very 'musical-esque' I agree!
You both must go to see ABBA in London.
I agree. They’ll be blown away.
@@francismedina4547 Yea!This tends to be a cosmic thing in entertainment!The majority of critics,-even the most difficult" ones, were really positive.Some people went to see this more than once.Unmissable.
great reaction to a great song. Thanks guys...love form South Africa
Frida got more and more playful and experimental with her voice from album to album. And on The Visitors, the album, she shows almost everything from this one to pure pop vocals on When All Is Said And Done, strained and stripped on Like An Angel Passing and very special on The Visitors, the song, she's such a diverse singer...
And don't forget Should I Laugh Or Cry. 😃 Oh really, I can't wait until they react to all of these songs led by Frida which they haven't done yet. 🥰 Not many reactors have reacted to SILOC, LAAPTMR, POYWS or Me And I for example. It's high time to do it. 😍
@@Lisa-M yep indeed Should I Laugh Or Cry is one of my faves from that period too. But still my faves are I Wonder and Gonna Sing You My Lovesong
Definitely this is other extraordinary ABBA song , gem and masterpieces true absolutely . The highest level quality and world cathegory of this swedish pop group .
Team Frida for me too Marissa, hope you both can react to Put On Your White Sombrero, a Frida lead masterpiece 😍🤩
I knew this song would leave you speechless. 😁 The only thing you can hate about it is that you haven't reacted to it earlier. 😆 The sound quality in this reaction was a bit strange, I hope you didn't had these problems when you heard it. It's really one of Frida's best performances. But I love all of her performances and there are some more Frida lead songs that will blow you away like this one, so be prepared. As I said in a comment below: React to Andante Andante and Put On Your White Sombrero and you will be astonished about the difference in her voice in these songs. 🥰
YES! POYWS is a hugely under-rated (and a rejected) song. But it's magnificent.
For next week: Andante, Andante (English version). Another great song led by Frida
Best reaction ever.
one of my faves, for sure. Frida knocks it right out of the world on this one
I think it would be a good idea for Marissa to listen to 'Like an angel passing through my room' [headphones is a MUST!]. It is Frida, and Frida alone, her voice is amazing and the track is stripped back to let her voice shine through. I promise it is total goosebumps time.🤩if you do, let us know what your thoughts are, or maybe let Tyler react to it and see what he thinks. [ I make a point of listening to it every Christmas eve night - it just seems right somehow, like a Christmas ghost story].
It’s such a beautiful song🤍
Frida is amazing. 😍😍👍
Wonderful song . You two are great.👏👏👏
I needed years to understand that musically and songwriting-wise this song is a masterpiece. It's beyond pop, it's more a musical song with opera aspects. And.... Agnetha and Frida did ALL the vocals themselves. So with the layering it sounds as if there were many sopranos an mezzo sopranos, but it's only them. Remarkable, eh?
And I am happy it reached to your heart and you liked it as much as I do.
oh yes-EXACTLY THE REACTION THIS SONG REQUIRES. You both seem to be genuinely taken by this gem.
It’s one of my favourites!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
THIS IS MY FAV REACTION VIDEO EVER SLAYYYY
Absolute masterpiece. It almost brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it.
This album is widely UNknown. And yet it is probably their best. The title song is incredible!!
Simply one of their BEST masterpiece. That one is art!
I'm curious you havent done yet their breakthru banger"WATERLOO"!That's where everything started internationally.Also MOVE ON is one of their best fan fave album track.
I'm still waiting for the reaction to ABBA at Eurovisión in UK 1974 with their iconic "Waterloo"
will you please react to Dance (While The Music Still Goes On)? it's such a good song and it makes me think of them now, when they're leaving us now but letting the music stay with us and go on. pleaseeee
beautiful 😍 and from the start, I kept saying, "Wait until the end, the last part," and sure enough Frida doesn't disappoint, magnificent. and the reaction to it is exactly what I expected, that silence speaks volumes. "No explanations...no questions why...I take it to me, and let it flow through me, yes, I let the music speak, I let the music speak." 🤟😂
This is my favorite TCC reaction video!!! Maybe a close second to "Just A Notion"!!! Love it!! You guys are so much fun to watch!!!! Keep 'em coming!!!
Yes, this song is everything, and now it's a year since you recated to it, but it's still everything!
"Team Frida all the way", "she is the better one..."
There is truth in that statement. Although not a popular thing to say with some ABBA fans. But it is true and all informed ABBA fans know this, particularly those with a bit of an analytical mind.
Agnetha is awesome. But she does not have Frida's diaphragmatic breathing, keen ear, control, etc...
Frida is highly respected by her peers since she was in grade school.
Her resume as a child and into early adulthood is impressive.
Her stellar reputation was built on the stages. A professional working vocalist entertainer known for her complex vocal standards, particularly loved jazz and the improvisation that is part of jazz.
- early grade school teachers identified her keen ear (perfect pitch) and control.
- Grandma sung Norwegian and Swedish folk songs to baby, toddler, child Frida. Frida responded to all those notes/sounds and her brain did the wiring. Result is her impeccable ear.
Think of a young child learning a foreign language vs an adult. Very young children can pick-up foreign languages and proper accent very fast compared to older children and adults.
This happened with Frida regarding her keen ear. Not just her accurate pitch, but her note shaping, control and her chameleon like vocal versatility.
- age 7. Dedicated herself to become a great vocalist and earn her own way in life.
- became the schools singer/entertainer and sung in church choir
- she was taken seriously by her peers. She was the real deal. Not a little girl just wanting to sing, but to actually develop her talent.
- swept all the vocal talent hunts into adulthood, too include National Vocalist of the Year, 1964 and National Best vocalist win in 1967 - her big break into TV, EMI, association with top Swedish music talents, etc... It was rare when she did not finish first in talent hunts.
- 1956-1958, too young to turn pro she hit the stages performing in charity events.
- 1958, age 13, still 3 years too young to turn pro, she was hired anyway to front bands and orchestra's. She was earning her own way in life at age 13.
- 60/61 joined large big band/orchestra. Met her future husband Ragnar. Married 1964. Two children -- 1963 (Hans) & 1967 (Lisa-Lotte, (67-98 RIP). Separated 1968. Divorced final 1970, same day her grandmother died.
- 1963-66: left big band orchestra and formed Anni-Frid Four / Anni-Frid & Gunnar Trio.
1964, National Vocalist of the Year
1967, National Best vocalist win.
1969: met Benny. Started to sing less sophisticated genres by singing pop songs, like 'Peter Pan'. Much less complex, but pop songs got her on the charts. Pop songs appeal to the masses.
Frida's style, that most ABBA fans eventually pickup on many of her vocal centric leads, is she sings in a classical way.
1972: Stig signed Frida to solo Polar Music contract, leaving EMI for Polar Music solo contract.
Frida was very reluctant to join a group and sing pop songs, but once she agreed to re-jion Benny, Bjorn and Agnetha along with the rest, she was all in.
A vocal centric genre vocalist turned pop singer. A comedown from more challenging genres, but pop more lucrative.
Stig eventually named them ABBA.
Remember, the boss was Stikkan 'Stig' Anderson, not Benny and Bjorn.
Stig also wrote most of ABBA's early lyrics, too include song titles. 'Waterloo' being a great example of Stig's instincts with the english speaking world and his understanding using 'Waterloo' as metaphor in a failed relationship.
Polar Music/ABBA Team:
Stikkan 'Stig' Anderson
Gorel Johnsen (Hanser. 1980)
Anni-Frid Lyngstad
Benny Andersson
Bjorn Ulverus
Agnetha Falkskog
Rutger Gunnarsson
Michael B Tretow
ABBA/Polar Music loyal and top tier studio and touring musicians.
The Visitors album def a had a musical vibe !!
I love the way you react guys. Great job. ABBA is wonderful. 👏👏👏
This is one of my favourite ABBA songs! The Visitors is such a good album in general.
Your reaction really warmed my heart, this is one of my favorite songs! I agree it feels like a musical, and I think it's their most poetic lyrics. They've evolved so much. This is Frida's best vocal performance, it's so beautiful. She's my favorite too, I love Agnetha but I just prefer Frida's voice personally.
Gonna sing you my love song is another Frida sultry classic.
"Gonna Sing You My Lovesong" is one of ABBA's best. I love the backing track on it...just gorgeous. Love the subtle use of synths on a very acoustic song. The bridge especially is sung superbly by Frida.
If you listen to Benny & Björn’s musical Chess you can hear influences from ABBA’s The Visitors album - they truly are geniuses - perfect compositions mixed with Agnatha & Friday’s vocals is pure magic
So lovely to see youngsters enjoy ABBA as I have done since I was a Teenager - and I’m nearly 63.
You two need to see the ABBA VOYAGE in London. It will literally blow you away and you WILL cry 😢 It’s Amazing.
came about this video once again after the Should I Laugh Or Cry reaction.. it is the opening song on Benny's Piano album and worth a listen to those piano stripped down versions from Benny. Highly recomanded
Great reaction guys 😀👍 there are so many song that I would love to recommend that you react to but I wouldn't know where to start. Just keep on doing what you're doing 🤗👏
Nice to see Marissa back with you Tyler 🎉✨
TEAM FRIDA👑
Take Care and Stay Safe
🇬🇧💖😀
How about reacting to Soldiers next? That's another great from the visitors album.
Great reaction guys..as always. Peace😃👍
This song is phenomenal. The change of tempo and style right through to the end.
ABBA was the best muse!
I have a list of the 500 best albums from 1955 until today and ABBA • The Visitors is my #1. Btw my #2 is AIR • Moon Safari - also such a wonderful album!
Please both of you react to 'I Wonder (Departure)' : you will love it soooooo much !! so intense and emotional !
Like an angel passing trough my room , PLEASE !!!
We must never never ever forget this song, it's fantastic, Frida's fantastic!
Lovely video, hopefully you guys can do Head over heels oficial video soon, is one of the best abba tracks
Now it's time for "Andante andante", again Frida singing.....
Yes and after they heard the sensual side of Frida's voice in Andante Andante they have to react to Put On Your White Sombrero. The total opposite. 😃😍 But both are👌
@@Lisa-M I agree.
You need to do "Soldiers". Thanks!
I love your reaction. This song features in ABBA the Party. Darkness, a thousand spinning lights, people flying and swing on ropes above. Magical.
The music (but not the lyrics) are featured briefly in a scene from Mamma Mia! 2
OK guys 💖
Marissa you have to listen to "Andante Andante, and then" I Wonder" (Departure) both lead vocals by Frida🤗👍
For personal reasons "I Wonder" (Departure) is very close to my heart, it was an album track from ABBA "The Album" that accompanies ABBA "The Movie🎥.... YES they made a movie, its based on their Australian Tour in 1977, its a bit cheesey but their live concert performances are out of this world 🌎
Hope you are both keeping well 🤗
TEAM FRIDA 👑💖🎉✨
Hi Tyler not forgotten you💘
🇬🇧💖😀
Fantastic reaction. The best part about ABBA is that they have songs that make each of the ladies SHINE. Agnetha has "Thank You For The Music" and "The Winner Takes it All"; while Frida has "I Let The Music Speak" and "When All Is Said and Done".
It's also a big shame that mainstream radio only seemed to know about "Mamma Mia" and "Dancing Queen" about ABBA when most of their greatest gems are in their "obscure" albums.
I hope you get to react to ABBA's "Tiger" and "I Have A Dream". I'm sure you and Marissa will love both.
The radio station I hear the most is also playing songs like "Hasta Manana", "Dance (While The Music Still Goes On)" or "Honey Honey". 😀 But you're still right, because some of their great songs are never played anywhere I think. 😞
This is their best song.
Frida…. Just Incredible ❤
This month I'm really into this one of alla ABBA's.
This is Frida’s fav song!!
React to the trailer of ABBA Voyage concert
Well said Marissa. Both ladies have amazing voices, but I agree that, for me, Frida has the edge, she brings a rich, velvety operatic sound to her tracks. And when she soars she SOARS!
ABBA can do «everything» 😊👍 l’m tell you.. and now I think you should listen to Bjørns lovely/rocky voise at the song «rock me» I’m sure you will be surprised 😉😊
"How?"
Talent. It's that simple.
Beautiful .
Wow, THAT'S what I call a reaction, guys ❤️
March, flutes… how have you not done The Piper?
they haven't yet! Nor Soldiers
Love this song too!
Nice to have the duo back
Perfect ! X .
One of the best of the album. Check out Soldiers from the same album.
Okay, I love you guys after watching this review ( even a little tear of joy and emotion..aren't they great?)
