can't believe this was recorded in 1979. It's so fresh like just been recorded in 2020.
abba’s sound engineer was WAY ahead of his time, honestly
@@ExperimentIV oh yes indeedy.
Its like Donna Summer's I Feel Love- way ahead of it's time
@@darrellcampbell5022 You are kind of saying that europeans were ahead of their time? I don't see it that way really. It's more like different styles were popular or natural in Europe or in the US at different times. (Donna Summer recorded in Germany.)
Sure, most intruments, scales, chords and even the music itself came from Europe to America in the 1700s to 1900s, but the free spirited american take on these fundamental elements influenced europeans a lot!
It was especially the african emphasis on 6-8 and 3-4 polyrhythms that made our music take some new paths in rhythmical improvisation. So the fact that european musicians in turn continued to develop american variants and styles like jazz, funk/disco and rock to this day is pretty natural. And also that it never kept the exact same pace or style as in the US. Because our cultures (or peoples) are not exactly the same.
@@ExperimentIV Ever hear "Alan Parsons?" Oh....my word....Oh my WORD!!!
The only sad thing is, people who hear it for the first time now, don't hear it in the context of the music of its time. That synth sound was so futuristic to us in 1979.
Oh yeah for sure ! like also the synth in "knowing me knowing you" or other "lay all your love on me" ^^ , but i cant understand how it possible to not now who's Abba today (new generation/teenager) abba is like michael jackson or roling stone or rod steward or blondie and many more no ?!!
Grettings from belgium by a 1977 boy ;)
I think you mean "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and "Lay All Your Love On Me".
@@robertschatz7781 Yes absolutely ^^ what stupid i'm ! yes ! i know it's : Knowin me knowin you / lay ALL YOUR love on me yes !
What a ridiculous wrong ! thks ^^
@@madjidhamdini8114 Common, don't be so harsh on yourself.
@@robertschatz7781 ;)
Legend!!!! Voice Agnetha' s great job.....AMAZING♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I always marvel at ABBA’s great lyrics when English was their second language
Yeah, but most Scandinavians speak better english than a lot of english speakers.
@@rogerweston7450 really?’
@@SergeOrlove I meant actual English english speakers.
@@rogerweston7450 I get it, thanks
Yeah, as an Australian I have to agree with that. Most Scandinavians speak English better than Aussies do!
This wonderful song and album. Very disco oriented. It's excellent when the beat never dies.
ABBA was the only group that was always able to be at the top of, or even ahead, of music trends, always producing the best and most unique instrumentation and arrangements, that by their own merits were and are, instantly attractive to the ear.
The genius of ABBA is that they were the ONLY group who produced amazing melodies too, one song after the other, with interesting lyrics you could actually hear and voices and harmonies that were consistently and unbelievably tight. They sounded catchy and so easy on the ear, people thought they were simple melodies, but other artists who tried to do and play their music have all come away in amazement at how complicated the chord placements and progressions really were.
ABBA is not easy for anyone to replicate in music or in their vocal harmony structure.
I read somewhere that to date, ABBA is the best-selling group in history - not the Beatles, as is widely expected and accepted. I can believe that.
They were the consummate group. I’m so glad they came along in my lifetime! 😊
Thanks Dereck for continuing to share your enjoyment of ABBA with us! 👍🏻
I absolutely love your comment. Abba was, is and will be the best of the best always!!!
Summer Night City another gem!!
Disco Heaven!
@@seriouspleasures Hm yes i love Summer Night City 💓
I recently played this song for my boyfriend. He does know ABBA but has not heard all of their songs. He thought it was Madonna at first. He knew Madonna song Hung Up...... was shocked to find out she sampled this ABBA song! I love ABBA!!!! And this is one of my favorite song of theirs! The vocals are always amazing, but the music is phenomenal!!!! That bass line, the exchanges, transitions..... the whole thing! Just amazing!
Magic , pure gold , gem and masterpiece all the ABBA songs , perfect execution , lyrics , voices , music , harmonies and melodies .
Pure beauty , talent and extraordinary inspiration .
I love ABBA and i was lucky enough to meet them 3 times. They are from Sweden and i live in Norway. I love this video's !!!!!!
To me this song is pure perfection. Since i heard it the very first time in 1979 ( just a few days before i´ve seen ABBA live in concert) it´s one of the best popsongs of all time to me. Thank you for reacting to all those great ABBA songs. Please react to "Should i laugh or cry", only a B-side of "One of us", but Fridas voice is just amazing.
That synth and bass breakdown is astounding
This studio version of the song is extraordinary on so many levels. It takes the listener on a sonic journey. The live version however... YIKES!!!
Its just magical.
My preferred ABBA's song.
Your critical analysis of ABBA’s songs is second to none. I look forward to you reacting to The Visitors as the chorus has a similar feel to this and Lay all your love on me. Well done Dereck 👍
Amazingggg... Wonderfull.....From Brazil... I love it 😍❤❤❤ i love abba
When the two ladies joined together..pitch perfect..when they blend...it is MAGIC...I love them when they executing a backing vocal or second voice...soothing...😀🤩🤗😊💛💖💙
This song totally floors the dancefloor especially since Madonna's "Hung Up." I love it. I remember dancing to this ABBA song and lip syncing with a diverse, mixed crowd in a dance club in 2019. By the way, this song was covered in well done Merengue version titled "Dame, Dame, Dame" by Jessica in 1998.
You are a young man of perfect taste and sensibility.
P.S. I was 20 when this came out in 1979.
You can listen to this over and over and catch a different hook. Yep, very layered.
This is literally my favorite ABBA song of all time. Been enjoying this song since I was 5, holy heck.
I. Love. ABBA.
What a classic
Another one of my favorite songs by them is Angel Eyes.
Second that👍
Lovelight too, what a crescendo
Absolutely. The harmonies are simply angelic. Blows you away.
My favorite Song Angeleyes
& As Good As New
Amazing Pop Song! Iconic! ABBA Are Incredible! Awesome Reaction!
they are the gods of pop!
The "there's not a soul out there" bit is my favourite
Not just Anna but Freda, please she does so much. Both are amazing on this. Freda does harmonies.
This is such an awesome song. So good.
Remember when i got this album on cassette! DAMN! I'm old ;)
When I listened to this song for the first time, I was blown away, goosebumps by the chorus and totally in love with ABBA since then!
And I totally recommend ‚Summer Night City‘ as the live version from 79‘s America‘s or was it the World Tour...?
The vocals during the intro are sooo brilliant!
"So dramatic. It´s so damn good. What´s not to love about it, it´s amazing. It´s so clever. This is synth heaven. Oh my God. Magical. Holy crap. My goodness, incredible, This is an epic song. Very sexy. "
I thinks Dereck likes this. So do I, one of ABBAs best.
With regard to Abba, I remember three phases of my life, the first when I was a child and listened to Abba because my father liked it and had records. The second phase, was in the 90s when I did not listen to Abba, I just wanted to know about the songs of that time and at most the 80s. The third phase was in 2005, when I started to rediscover Abba with more mature ears. Anyway, it was like falling in love again only in a much better way. Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie is an apotheosis of sounds.
Disco was nothing short of amazing!
Yes ABBA live The Way Friends Do is amazing
This has always been one of my very favourite ABBA songs. It’s pure Magic and Class. Disco + ABBA = Perfection.
Derek wird mit der Zeit noch ein richtiger ABBA Fan,seine Reaktionen sind so toll und auch Soooo Süß.
Freue mich schon auf das nächste ABBA Stück,was er sich vornimmt!!!
Auswahl gibt es ja reichlich!!!
Let's Go--- I Love it 👍👌👏💞💋‼️✌️
This is my favourite song of all time
There's an official video to this song on ABBAs vevo channel where they can be seen recording the song, although the song was already finished at the time. It's been filmed at then brand new state of the art polar studios.
Unfortunately, it seems like that music video is not available in the US. Don't know why, it's such a shame! :/
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme is the perfect nighttime song for me. I like how u break down and explain the song parts at a time. You’re pointing out things I never noticed with my ears until now-and I own the song and album-one of my favorites by them. It reminds me of being in the clubs at 1 or 2 am doing my thing on the dance floor. ABBA is simply marvelous💯✌🏾🎶
Because of this song I became an ABBA fan at 11 in 1979 and subsequently bought all their albums.
Mike Watson really killed it on the bass for this recording. Him and fellow bassist Rutger Gunnarsson really were a secret weapon behind the scene for Abba.
Great reaction again, tnx! Another addictive song from ABBA....heaven!
This is one of my favorite songs by ABBA. It's fantastic.
abba never ever made a bad or underpar song everything they wrote composed or sung was pure gold.. i dare anyone to listen to an abba song and not want to start to move and dance....and smile.
the first record i got in trouble with my parents for the bassdrum being so strong the house was shaking LOL by an ABBA song....
Another great reaction, tnx! This song is so addictive, ABBA were masters!
VH-1 did a "Behind the Music" about ABBA it was kind of incredible. Musicians from heavy metal to classical from all around the world were featured singing their praises. Pure genius .
Good music transcends genres
Utter banger. Beautifully produced. Timeless.
Best Abba song for me (with Super Trouper). A magical moment in music's history. Everything is good in it : the beat, the bright bass, the synths, the melody and the vocal delivery : the way she kept the note on (no-one to hear my prayer), wow. Perfection.
they actually originated in Sweden ❤❤❤

ABBA The Best Pop-Band in the World! 💥💕💘
What can I say- amazing. When you consider that English was not their 1st language, unlike some artists you can hear every word they are singing.
Unknown to Abba, this has become a favourite song within the gay community, like dancing queen and lay all your love on me. It just happened, they did not realise their songs reached out to such a diverse audience, until now.
I was a huge fan and still know all the lyrics almost by heart. I was maybe 10. Later it was not cool to like ABBA. :)
But now I appreciate them again. Childhood memories!
When I kissed the Teacher was always one of my favorites. LJ
Derek it's time you went to disco heaven and listened to the opening track from the Voulez-Vous album
- As Good As New
this is 3 minutes of pop heaven, you will love it and it will go into your top-5 ABBA tracks 👍🏼❤️
There is a song from ABBA called "Lovers live a little longer", people never review that one.
Know it well!
Hello Dereck! Abba makes every of his songs so unique, just because they do not neglect and throw away an album and think this song will probably be a hit. Both Benny who writes the music and Björn who writes ingenious lyrics are very careful that they can stand for what they heard.In a TV program where Abba was recording a record and Björn was not happy with the result.Agnetha then says "But must it be so perfect?" Probably a little tired of putting voices several times.YES, it must Björn answers. And it has turned out that it is right. The songs are of such good quality, so you can listen to them for generations! Thank you Super ABBA for all the music ******
Dereck, I am so glad you have discovered how wonderful ABBA really is. Enjoy!
You need to react to both “As Good As New” and If It Wasn’t For The Night” of the same album “Voulez Vous”. You mentioned about it being a great opener for the live concert well If It Wasn’t For The Nights was the opener to their1979 world tour
Actually, it wasn't. "Voulez-Vous" opened the 1979 tour, preceded by an instrumental introduction by Benny on the synthesizer.
I'd have released those 1st 2 Tracks as Singles, instead of 'Does Your Mother Know' and 'Voulez-Vous'. Both were ABBA's lowest UK Selling Singles since 'Summer Night City'. In Germany, where ABBA were huge, neither Single did much. 'Does Your Mother Know' just managed a No.10 placing. 'Voulez-Vous' did even worse - No.14. It was ABBA's smallest German Hit, since 'So Long' got to No.11 there. I'm sure that 'As Good As New' and 'If It Wasn't For The Nights' would have been far bigger UK & German Hits. As well as bigger elsewhere, in the World. I think that ABBA chose the wrong Singles, sometimes...
If it wasn't for the nights. And voulez vous were 2 of my favorites!! This makes me feel 20 again!! Lol.
You need to listen to “I’m A Marionette” from “The Album”. One of their most underrated songs but one of their best.
Wow! I've finally found someone who loves this b side track as much as I do 😁😁
I agree, same with If It Wasn’t For The Nights
I fell in love with Marionette when I first heard it back then. Same effect it has on me as Kisses from Voulez Vouz album.
Got to listen to it live version only from oz tour best version yet.
Another one that was never recorded but AMAZINGLY awesome...."Get On The Carousel" I love that song!!!! it's sadly only available from ABBA The Movie.
I´m getting a new appreciation for ABBA
Wow, memories!! I was 20 in 79. I was in Europe for a month in 79. I was in a music store in Austria. They had this album, and I was going to buy it, so I decided to make it a souvenir. Cover looks the same. But the writing on the album is of course in Austrian!! Still have it. It was a great album!!
there are two kind of people .... people who loves abba likes me ejejejejej and people who lie about it... period
I F--King love your appreciation and analysis of this track because yes it is that good!! Bless you!! xxx
There’s a reason why they a called “A super Group”! There’s few bands that made it onto this category, Queen, The Beatles are amongst them just of the top of my head. ABBA were master musicians.
Please react to Voulez Vous. It’s great.
"My Love, My Life"
I love you Dereck so much ! I’m here always and watching your videos ! I love this song of ABBA !
Great review of a majestic song!!
"If it wasnt for the nights" is a fantastic ABBA song you should review. It's from the same album I believe.
If you liked this one, I'm sure you'll love Summer Night City
Hi Dereck, thanks for ABBA !... it's all my youth !!..all mu adolescence... fabulous sound of this time !... yes...so magical ...
the music of Benny and Bjorn and the magics voices of Agneta and Frida...
"gimmie, gimmie, gimmie" it's the best song of 1978 !...
the technic of the choeur was to record the voices oh Agent and Frida and to make them pass in 2 or 3 times behind the voices sung again
Dereck, if you are Spanish speaking, ABBA also did this song in Spanish titled Dame, Dame, Dame (Amor esta Noche).
Abba"s is ahead of their time just like the beatles in the late 60s
You have to listen to the long version of Eagle nd Happy new year which is heart meltingly beautiful.
Great reaction vlog! Please: reaction vids to ABBA’s “Soldiers” and “Angel Eyes”....think you’d enjoy them.
Apparently the 'echoey' sound common with a lot of Abba's vocals was achieved by building in a micro split second delay when the girls voices were layered during production. Not dissimilar to how a peal of bells works. Thus when layered several times the vocal takes on an almost chiming quality. This was why it was almost impossible to re create live. Amazing production and engineering on Abba's recorded music. .
Hi. The way you react to songs I feel like I'm listening to then for the first time! If you like beats you should listen and react to "On and on and on" and "The visitors". Hope you do!
The full version of On And On And On with the extra verse
So Long. Made in Sweden for export version, please.
This song is ethereal
I love how broad minded you are, and the way you really get into the moment with the music you are listening too. Given the fact my 3 major loves are Madonna, Abba and Kylie, there is much for me to love here.
Love your reaction dissecting every aspect of the song. ABBA’s music is for sure well deserving of such analysis
I remember this album when it came out- one of the reasons I became a musician and composer! Pioneers waaaaay ahead of their time! And Agnetha and Frida- there are no words! 🎶😶 Honestly, their voices were precious precious instruments!
Me ha encantado ver tu reacción / análisis de este temazo que tiene tantos matices. Lo expresas muy bien y se nota que lo transmites de forma auténtica.
Anderson is an excellent keyboardist
You should also react to Head Over Heels it is a very interesting song too
Love this beat always makes me want to get up and dance lol.
Great reaction ,you really get in to it,,,brillant ,,also,,you are looking pumped ...
Hey Derrick, you have to react to the ‘visitors’ it’s my favourite ABBA song and unlike nothing else they have done, lay all your love, gimme gimme, gimme are also my favourites too.... but the Visitors is so different for them and brilliant. David 😊
Try 'Thats me' a very underated song with great synthwork
That's me is such a great song. I love it too
it´s my favorite!!!!!
i’ve always loved the bass duet solo with the bass guitar (which both of abba’s usual session bassists play AMAZINGLY) and the bass synth. it’s just so cool and you don’t hear a bass duo in a solo super often
This master piece need to be hear with a good subwoofer with a lot off basses ooooh yeah ! i like to make an earthuake in my appart when listenin this from my huge 1974 subwoofer ^^
Make the next one 'As good as new'. It's the first track on Voulez vous. Follow it up with 'kisses of fire', the last track. 2 great tracks to book-end the album.
So happy I found this page. Love your insight on music. it made me appriciate ABBA again. have some suggestions for you:
"Lovers" , "i am the city" , "Me and I" and "the Visitors" 4 superb and almost ignored Abba (non singles)....which I really think should be enjoyed by a bigger audience in addition to your professional view. the last one(even though I have not followed Abba in their solo efforts, I recently came over one of Frida's singles(it was not a hit....had to google it) but clearly a great song....very different and with a quite weird video to match. its called "Twist in the dark" and is from the mid 80s. Thank You again. You are doing an Excellent Job.
OMG ... I'm glad you're not listening to only their biggest hits, but also other, little-known songs. You are the best 😁 And for me there is version of "Gimme Gimme Gimme" which meets the original version. This is Cher version of this song, but with thunders. It's sooooo awesome!!! I can also recommend you the song "Kisses of Fire". This is one of their most surprising songs. I hope you like it like me 😊🤩 And if you want to listen to something unusual, you should listen to "Disillusion" because it is the only song written only by Agnetha and "Suzy Hang Around" because it is the only song in which the leading voice there's Benny (he's a piano player). And one of the most underestimated of ABBA's songs - "If It Wasn't For The Nights". 😁🥰
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme isn't a little-known song 🤣🤣
@@DannX68 I know I know. But he didn't saw my comment in the previous video of ABBA song, and I just copied this comment into this video 😅 I know that "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" is one of their biggest hits. I love this song so much. I have something about 100 ABBA's songs in my music gallery and so far I can remember 15 of their songs by heart 😁😅🥰
6:20 Giving me chills!! yes! I am getting it!! Even back then.
My favourite abba song. Then it's super trooper.
You will love Angeleyes!
🥰 Finally a reaction to the full song including the dance break.
Not sure why you didn't react to the video for this...it's a really cool one of them in the studio recording this track.
ABBA = Pure Pop Gold. In a league all of their own. Absolute masters of poo perfection 😍
Poo perfection - because not even their poo is half-assed
I have searched for a 12 inch single of this song for years, and to my surprise...there was never one (not even as a promo)...except for one pressed in Japan which supposedly was a promo only and I found it for sale on EBay, but for hundreds of dollars. I passed it. Lol.
