It’s different because you are listening to a lot of the songs backwards chronologically. This was 1974, very much an early 70s ballad and ABBA are still developing their style. Which is why the guys still have prominent vocals.
I heard this for the first time.........46 years ago, as a teenager.......and it still sounds good after all these years. This is on the first ever ABBA album I ever owned..........."Greatest Hits" (1976).
When ABBA was influenced by others, following the trends at that time, mainly Beach Boys or Mamas and the Papás, and figuring out their sound. You can tell, those arrangements and harmonies were going to give us lots of gems! Happy holidays from Spain guys!
ABBA's biggest influences were Swedish Folk, Northern Euro folk, classical, baroque, traditional... which they incorporated into modern popular music. Benny loved J.S. Bach... He has also mentioned Joni Mitchell, Brian Wilson producing own records, and others.... The only influence they received from The Beatles, was writing their own songs. Also, as Frida mentioned in 2010, RockNRoll Hall of Fame, Stikkan 'Stig' Anderson. Stig is tied to all the Swedish hits in the 60's. A songwriter, musician, with a knack for hooks and languages. His songs/artists dominated Swedish charts in the 1960's. "My love of Bach is deep, strong, and everlasting." Piano, 2017, Benny Andersson Bach was a master of counterpoint/counter melodies. This is all throughout ABBA's music. Lots of layers. ABBA's trademark melancholy/ smiling through tears effect... is unique to Northern Russia, Finland and into Scandinavia, long dark winters with little sun and long sunny days during summer. Thier unique sound was brought up at RockNRoll Hall of Fame in 2010, along with mentioning ABBA ENTIRE catalogue being hit worthy. Benny remarked, you can hear the melancholy in the girls vocals. Benny also mentioned some Swedish writers, movie stars, etc...that are known for melancholy. Benny & Bjorn also wrote what Swedes call their "National Opera ' ... 'Kristina fran Duvemala'. Too sophisticate/Operatic for Broadway and West End. The usual nose in the air, stuffy classical music critics, deemed 'Kristina' a master works/masterpiece. Benny: music Bjorn: lyrics, playwright, book
Such a wonderful song and love your video as always, you're the best. The vibe that Tyler mentions is the Beach Boys vibe, Benny's favorite musicians. A very good influence here. The four of them singing together makes this one special, Agnetha lead vocalist, then Björn takes over and then they all sing the chorus, a mesmerizing song, ABBA's magic never ends. Would suggest Hasta Manana or Honey Honey from the same album, all-time favorites. Merry Christmas, Tyler and Marissa!
i looooooove this song so much. It's got a very good almost standard pop melody, i think it's got a 60's touch for me with it's syncopated bolero rhythm and mellow flow. For me It's their first typical ABBA song in the sense of Happy-Sad... it's a sad content but the melody is so uplifting and positive... that's their secret ingrendient happy-sad. you might not notice at the first listen, but it's so damn catchy and you find yourself easily humming it the whole day... Dance, while the music still goes on....
THANK YOU for reacting to my favorite lesser known ABBA song!! This song is addictive and grew on me the more I listened to it. And YES....one of the few ABBA songs that prominently showcases the voices of ALL members!! And the key changes at the end take it to a higher level!!! Even on the "ABBA Scale" I'd give this one a 9.5!!!!😊 MERRY CHRISTMAS TYLER & MARISSA!!!☃🌲⛄
Heló dearest Marissa & Tyler, so happy to see you in the beginning of the week with your ABBA Journey Now is the time of "Dance (while the music still goes on)" These is one of the beautiful songs (beautiful is the exactly word) from the earliest years It's a sweet solo by Agnetha, and fantastic chorus for all four, They made an unique voice together, amazing, it's the most important of the song, an amazing chorus that grows more and more after each key changes And is one sad and melancholic lyrics, but so great, in contrast with a catchy melody It has three features: 1) It is the first song they recorded for what would be the album "Waterloo" in September 1973, almost 49 years ago 2) Upon entering the recording studio, the name ABBA for the quartet had not yet been defined. 3) it is a song in which Benny does not participate in the piano or keyboards These song is from 1973, and have some vibs of "Ring ring" album... is timeless! It's in my Top3 of all songs in "Waterloo" álbum, with "Honey honey" and the homonymous "Waterloo", the masterpiece of the album I see you in next ABBA reaction My best regards to You from Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷 South América
Hi guys! This is like a 'campfire by the sea' song. Here you can feel the influence of 'The Beach Boys' in ABBA👑 Merry ❤️Christmas ⭐Marissa⭐ Merry ❤️Christmas ⭐Tyler⭐ see you soon guys Peace 🌼 Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱😘👍
ABBA’s straightforward homage to the Phil Spectre sound. The key is in the repeating drum pattern (dumm dum-dumm click, dumm dum-dumm tic-tic-tic) and the Wall of Sound production.
It's one of those tracks that remind me of the iconic Greatest hits Vol 1, the album that introduced them to so many of us. A classic album forever for me.😀
@@alexioverdo5225 I hope it's re-released on vinyl on it's 50th anniversary. I also hope the band members all choose one extra track each that they would include.
@@geordieboy8945 Yes maybe 'Rock me' or 'I've been waiting for you,'Vinyl anniversary edition should be both the wooden bench version but also the Scandi 'arty-spooky' one lol
@@alexioverdo5225 Yes, I've posted elsewhere that the tracks could be - Agnetha = 'I've been waiting for you', Frida = 'Gonna sing you my lovesong', Bjorn = 'Rock me' [ even though it was on the greatest hits vol 2?] Benny =' Imtermezzo no 1'. And yes, the album should be gatefold again and have the spooky version inside. Fingers crossed it happens.😀
@@geordieboy8945 if 'Rock Me' excluded because of the GHV2,then i belong to the minority that would have liked 'I'm just a girl'(familiarly early era).
Ahhh been wanting you to do this for ages , so thank you. . It's a good one for headphones. You were talking about Frida's solo material in a random video the other day and I think you should check out a powerful ballad she recorded called You Know What I Mean. Just Frida and a harp,it is stunning- she worked with Phil Collins .
Merry Christmas ! And ABBA has for us ``Little things'' for Christmas and ``Happy New Year'' for every new year... For emotions, try ``The Way Old Friends Do'', live at Wembley. They and Benny's accordion.🙂
I always listen to 'Like an Angel...' on Christmas Eve, it's become a tradition, it just feels right somehow. I think it's because ghost stories are popular around this time of year, and to my ears, the memories and thoughts Frida sings about, are a form of ghost.
Nice new hairstyle for Marissa! Farewell to the black sound-proofing tile on the back wall 😪. To me this is a companion song to Hasta Manana on the Waterloo album - ABBA had an uncanny ability to write & produce songs that sound like instant classics (that you think you've heard all your life but in reality you might have only just heard for the first time) - I would include I do, I do ,I do ,I do I do in this category - only a select few songwriters and groups can pull that off ( the Beatles & Yesterday spring to mind as an example).
1:52 This style had a revivial during the 80s, but _"stereotypical 80s sound"..._ ? I hear this like something from the 1960s or early 70s. The 1980s (especially 1983-86) were more about gated reverb snare drums and FM-synths, a completely different vibe.
This song is a slice of pure pop heaven and should have been in a side single back then what is the b side of honey honey but should have been an a side also would have made a great closer for a concert but I don't think they ever sang it live love that the song modulated twice and lifted it to new heights this was a standout cut from the Waterloo album back in the seventies most albums only released two singles so a lot of good album tracks never got heard unless you bought the whole album this is one of those such songs wish they had done a video for it when other piece of trivia benny is not playing keys on this song not sure why but he's absent from the recording. Still after almost 50 years this is one of my favorite early album tracks that is quite a pop masterpiece
this song has the tempo of "be my baby" by the ronettes. "da da dadada" they were heavily influenced by lots of other artists at the time. i would say from the perspective of a music study, their "abba sound" didn't fully develop until Mamma Mia.
I also havent heard that one before, i like it a lot! as for suggestions, "two for the price of one" is a "newer" one with dominant male vocals and great counter-melodies by the girls
Benny Andersson plays all of ABBA's keyboards on their records. In live concerts they brought another keyboard player because Benny can't play multiple keyboards at same time. Benny is ABBA's lead composer. The brunette is ABBA's pro vocalist and natural front and center performer. Lyrics by Stig Anderson (early) and Bjorn Ulveras.

Marissa : "How many times have you said OK ?" ( It's 7 times up to this point ) Tyler : "OK, Shut Up" Good one, Marissa ! 😂🤣 .. You're OK with me 👌👌 PS :- Tyler, I actually quite like your OKs .. I love your enthusiasm !👍
ABBA has the best taste in music tbh, because it has dancing vibes into it :) You should also react to Head over Heels and Two for the price of one, just a suggestion.
This is early 'old' Abba 74 era, when BB shared equally vocals with A/F. The best way would be react with chronological order, since easier to notice their sound developing. 👍
You always say that you want to hear more from the boys. There are some lead songs from Björn we have suggested you a lot of times. You only have to react to them. "Rock Me" is cool for example but "Watch Out" is a song which is REALLY different. You won't believe your ears. 😱😈😮 And again I suggest "Should I Laugh Or Cry" though it's not Björn but Frida and I will suggest it again and again until you react to it. 😜
I think it sounds more different than others because the guy's vocals are far more prominent, the girls' typical harmonies aren't there, and in fact, Frida's voice appears to be totally missing.
Another song from the greatest hits Vol 1 to listen to would be Nina pretty ballerina. A precursor to Dancing Queen maybe. I would be interested in your reaction to it.
since you guys are doing sich a good job with ABBA you should check out "dissilution"(written by Agnetha Fältskog in late 71 after starring in the swedish stage production of jesus christ superstar and included on debut "Ring Ring") and "my mama said" recorded late 73 and featured on "waterloo". It is probably the closest to funk They'd ever been. Thanks. Your channel makes me smile 😀👍
The ABBA girls in unison. Yes Frida solo. Yes (particularly Live) Frida harmony. Yes Agnetha solo/live. No. Frida solo/live. Yes Agnetha has very little LIVE solo performances. Frida has got tons. There is a reason. Read about ABBA and their beginnings. The seeds planted by Stig Anderson: 1960 - Swedish music (publishing) 1963 - Polar Music (record label) Agnetha: studio product. Not known for her live performances. Frida: stage theater cabaret TV radio shows. ALL LIVE. Took stage 1956. Pro: 1958, age 13. Highly respected by music peers since grade school. A professional LIVE, working vocalist before ABBA. Not a record label generated and marketed pop singer. The Real Deal! ABBA: Bright Lights Dark Shadows The Real Story of ABBA By Carl Magnus Palm You learn the story of Polar Music/ ABBA and how they became a foursome. What it took to get Frida to commit to a pop group, which was a downgrade from her preferred vocal centric genre's, but more lucrative. In 1972, Stig Anderson Polar Music secured Frida. It took a lucrative deal contract partnership with Stig Anderson Polar Music. Stig then eventually named them ABBA. Agnetha is fine - when - she can be produced in studio. In a LIVE environment, without big band, adornments, etc ...but spot lighted (literally) in live environments carrying the melody/song is when she gets exposed.
This is a strange composition for a pop song because there are basically no verses. The vocal intro is more like a bridge. Also, it's very short, so while the song has that 'bridge' part twice, two and a half minutes of the total three are chorus.
After a small search I was really surprised. Is it true that you still have no reaction to Honey Honey? That's inexcusable. You should immediately fill that gap in your record. And after you're done with the English version, try the Swedish karaoke version: ua-cam.com/video/NjbytaH1oW8/v-deo.html
Without sounding shady… Tyler seems to bumble through and sometimes doesn’t make any sort of sense, about his reaction, where as Merissa seems to be more into the understanding of the music. He just seems to be more interested in staring at the camera with his facial expressions, instead of paying real attention.
I'm sorry that your life is so empty, that you have nothing better to do than click on videos of bands you hate and let everyone know how much you hate them. Perhaps you could take this free time you are wasting on things you hate and use it on things you love. It could turn over a whole new leaf in your life.
@@mikesmithson6805 lol. technically, most all music will out live us. Just because I dont like the band doesnt mean they cant exist. I have a lot of bands that I LOVE that my wife doesnt like. just the way it is. Abba had one that was NOT AWFUL. They used it in the movie 'the martian" I have no idea what the name of it was.
Always been a favourite of their earlier stuff.
It’s different because you are listening to a lot of the songs backwards chronologically. This was 1974, very much an early 70s ballad and ABBA are still developing their style. Which is why the guys still have prominent vocals.
Same band that released this also didThe Visitors and I let the music speak.Greatly impressive.
That double key change always gets me
I heard this for the first time.........46 years ago, as a teenager.......and it still sounds good after all these years. This is on the first ever ABBA album I ever owned..........."Greatest Hits" (1976).
very under rated song. Love it.
So many great songs still to come - looking forward to Head Over Heels, The King has Lost his Crown and I have a Dream x
Dance..surprised me as well, and this was in the 70's. So different, it would have been a huge hit if released.
When ABBA was influenced by others, following the trends at that time, mainly Beach Boys or Mamas and the Papás, and figuring out their sound. You can tell, those arrangements and harmonies were going to give us lots of gems! Happy holidays from Spain guys!
Sounds definitely Beach Boys influence. One of the guys (Bjorn? ) listed them as an influence.
@@whenindoubt1000 Yes, it was Björn.
@@whenindoubt1000 Actually Benny was the big Brian Wilson/Beach boys 'freak'.

It has a Phil Spector 'wall of sound' kind of production (eg. Be My Baby), like a number of Abba's early songs.

One of the favourite Songs of my Childhood - dance while the Music still goes on - dance dance dance - thank you 👍
The first of ABBAs great break-up songs. One of my favourites since I was a kid. This is modelled on the California sound of the 60s.
It’s really amazing to watch young people discovering ABBA.
Love this song!

Heló dearest Marissa & Tyler, so happy to see you in the beginning of the week with your ABBA Journey
Now is the time of
"Dance (while the music still goes on)"
These is one of the beautiful songs (beautiful is the exactly word) from the earliest years
It's a sweet solo by Agnetha, and fantastic chorus for all four, They made an unique voice together, amazing, it's the most important of the song, an amazing chorus that grows more and more after each key changes
And is one sad and melancholic lyrics, but so great, in contrast with a catchy melody
It has three features:
1) It is the first song they recorded for what would be the album "Waterloo"
in September 1973, almost 49 years ago
2) Upon entering the recording studio, the name ABBA for the quartet had not yet been defined.
3) it is a song in which Benny does not participate in the piano or keyboards
These song is from 1973, and have some vibs of "Ring ring" album... is timeless!
It's in my Top3 of all songs in "Waterloo" álbum, with "Honey honey" and the homonymous "Waterloo", the masterpiece of the album
I see you in next ABBA reaction
My best regards to You from
Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷

A lot of ABBA songs are really different but somehow it's good. I'd put Don't Shut Me Down in that category. 😊

How i love this song 😉great choice Friends 👏
Great reaction Tyler and Merissa!
This song has always reminded me of "Grease" for some reason, just has that cast ensemble sound to it!
React to "Watch Out" by ABBA.
Guys.. Do we need to talk about the top of that Christmas tree? 😆

My Mamma Said one of my least favourite ABBA tracks
It has the stereotypical 80s sound? Not bad for a song from 1974. 😉 Just goes to show that ABBA were always ahead of their time.
I agree.
Nice new hairstyle for Marissa! Farewell to the black sound-proofing tile on the back wall 😪.
To me this is a companion song to Hasta Manana on the Waterloo album - ABBA had an uncanny ability to write & produce songs that sound like instant classics (that you think you've heard all your life but in reality you might have only just heard for the first time) - I would include I do, I do ,I do ,I do I do in this category - only a select few songwriters and groups can pull that off ( the Beatles & Yesterday spring to mind as an example).
The Ring Ring and Waterloo albums were balanced between and the guys and the girls taking lead vocals. After that the girls dominated lead vocals.
1:52 This style had a revivial during the 80s, but _"stereotypical 80s sound"..._ ? I hear this like something from the 1960s or early 70s. The 1980s (especially 1983-86) were more about gated reverb snare drums and FM-synths, a completely different vibe.
'60s - early '70s deffinately.
This song is a slice of pure pop heaven and should have been in a side single back then what is the b side of honey honey but should have been an a side also would have made a great closer for a concert but I don't think they ever sang it live love that the song modulated twice and lifted it to new heights this was a standout cut from the Waterloo album back in the seventies most albums only released two singles so a lot of good album tracks never got heard unless you bought the whole album this is one of those such songs wish they had done a video for it when other piece of trivia benny is not playing keys on this song not sure why but he's absent from the recording.

the B-side of "Waterloo" was "Watch Out"
Thanks for correcting that my original comment set I thought it was the b side of Waterloo but it was beside of honey honey so corrected
Noddy dogs 🐕 love you both ❤
Next song has to be “ happy new year” by Abba. Just makes sense
great song, please react to 'Like An Angel Passing Through My Room' from The Visitors album!
Tyler and Marissa could you please RE-React to ABBA Voyage in 10 individual videos?
this song has the tempo of "be my baby" by the ronettes. "da da dadada"
they were heavily influenced by lots of other artists at the time. i would say from the perspective of a music study, their "abba sound" didn't fully develop until Mamma Mia.
I also havent heard that one before, i like it a lot!
as for suggestions, "two for the price of one" is a "newer" one with dominant male vocals and great counter-melodies by the girls
And probably the best harmonisation by agnetha and frida...technically, one of the best abba recordings IMO...
@@frankly-he1kf rubbish

Storywise very similar to When All Is Said and Done
Hopefully this song is featured in Mamma Mia 3
:)) My Mama said is also quite different
I call it a bit schlager-esque, you know 🙂 But how to explain what a German schlager actually is...
👍👍👍👍
Another song from the greatest hits Vol 1 to listen to would be Nina pretty ballerina. A precursor to Dancing Queen maybe. I would be interested in your reaction to it.

ABBA: Bright Lights Dark Shadows
The Real Story of ABBA
By Carl Magnus Palm
You learn the story of Polar Music/ ABBA and how they became a foursome. What it took to get Frida to commit to a pop group, which was a downgrade from her preferred vocal centric genre's, but more lucrative.
In 1972, Stig Anderson Polar Music secured Frida. It took a lucrative deal contract partnership with Stig Anderson Polar Music.
Stig then eventually named them ABBA.
Agnetha is fine - when - she can be produced in studio. In a LIVE environment, without big band, adornments, etc ...but spot lighted (literally) in live environments carrying the melody/song is when she gets exposed.
Still hope to see someday reaction to Dream World.
1:37 The Beatnik and particularly the Beach Boys music in the early sixties was a big, big influence for both Benny and Bjorn. Just saying.
Beach Boys GUYS Beach Boys LOVE FROM DENMARK
Agnetha leads
Agnetha leads the introduction verses
Björn and Benny leads the first chorus
all four members in the biggest chorus
This is there early years. Maybee you should have started your reactions here 😀 How did you find ABBA? What song?
I think their first reaction was I Still Have Faith In You. But I don't know for sure. Have to watch in their playlist.
Ok then I understand. 🥰❤
More of a 60s Beach Boys vibe... 🙂
Swedish Folk.
This is a strange composition for a pop song because there are basically no verses. The vocal intro is more like a bridge. Also, it's very short, so while the song has that 'bridge' part twice, two and a half minutes of the total three are chorus.

No two songs are alike

He just seems to be more interested in staring at the camera with his facial expressions, instead of paying real attention.
hated abba then. hate them more now. I remember this album coming out and warned my friends. they buy me abba even as a joke and id light it on fire.
I'm sorry that your life is so empty, that you have nothing better to do than click on videos of bands you hate and let everyone know how much you hate them. Perhaps you could take this free time you are wasting on things you hate and use it on things you love. It could turn over a whole new leaf in your life.
@@crichtonjohn3393 I wanted to hear what the younger generatio thought about them. Thank you for you opinion. Now go away
@@kevinquist Well, now you know and you can go away. I'll still be here.
Fun fact, ABBAs music will outlive us all! Get over it😂
@@mikesmithson6805 lol. technically, most all music will out live us. Just because I dont like the band doesnt mean they cant exist. I have a lot of bands that I LOVE that my wife doesnt like. just the way it is. Abba had one that was NOT AWFUL. They used it in the movie 'the martian" I have no idea what the name of it was.
Yeah this constant "OK" irritating as hell...
