Hey Dereck! You said you have never heard any interviews of ABBA so I beg you to watch ABBA Sveriges Magasin from 1977, it's only about 12 minutes. It is in Swedish but with subtitles, so it is not as awkward as some of the English interviews, and you will get a great insight about these four fantastic people, and you will love them even more than you do now. As for the song"Move On", I think it's the most profound song ABBA ever made.
Thanks for this reaction. I've been an ABBA-fan for years and have of course listened to Move On. But you really helped me to discover it for real. It will definitely take a place on my ABBA-top 10 list. Thanks again.
This song is mind blowing. On each chorus they add a new layer. When you think it couldn't get better with loads of harmonies, they add a new twist that makes your hair stand. I've listened to it a million times and still can't separate the harmonies there. It's a perfect song with a strong feeling!! One of my abba favorites.
What a beauty of song , music , voices , harmonies , melodies , lyrics , and swedish pop group . Absolute talent , perfection , and high inspiration . All they are so pure genius . Greats minds of the world pop music forever . The ABBA's voices are like how angels choirs singing the songs . Sublime . Pure beauty , high inspiration , very beautiful angelic voices , pure talent , elegance , class , high quality , standar , cathegory and world level . Fantastic music , letters songs and voices . This is pure perfection in pop music forever .
So great to see the love for this. One of my very favourite ABBA songs. It amazes me that this wasn’t a huge hit... maybe it’s that spoken first verse that made it less commercial. All the attributes here of the band at the very height of their peerless powers - the melodies, soaring harmonies, arrangement, production - all stunning. And remember all this before the days of Autotune. I listen to mostly Rock, but I never tire of hearing this - Pop perfection.
Wow! I’m so glad that you loved this song. I loved it so much when I first got “The Album” that I used the line “Like a roller on the ocean, life is motion, move on” for my high school yearbook quote. I always felt (and still do) that this song is so smooth and flowing like being a bird gliding through the sky and seeing the beauty of the world below. I always loved the beautiful soaring vocals especially when Agnetha and Frida sing “la la la la la la” like it’s coming out of the clouds. The closest songs I can think of as far as the kind of atmosphere and soundscape created, there really isn’t any other ABBA songs quite like it. There are however other songs which do create a unique feel in the way this song creates a unique feel, check out “Tropical Loveland”, there are some good videos of them performing the song on TV shows in Australia during their tour there. “Happy Hawaii” is really good and has a nice feel to it. I think an underrated and unappreciated song is “That’s Me” which I think Agnetha and Frida look their most natural beautiful
@@resireg "Ring Ring", "He Is Your Brother", "Another Town, Another Train", "Nina Pretty Ballerina", "Rock And Roll Band" and "Disillusion" are all pretty good tracks. BTW "Ring Ring" is great on the original version...they re-released it later adding a sax which, in my opinion doesn't fit on this song.
As a big ABBA fan, this tune has to be up there as one of my faves. When I'm feeling down I just play this little gem, then everything doesn't seem so bad after all, a real feel good tune.
This is a great song. The Spanish version Al Andar is also fantastic however it is slightly different. There is no Bjorn speaking part in it, Agnetha sings all 3 versus. Also the LaLaLa are more subdued, more in the background where in this version they come to the forefront during the final stages of the song. Lyrically it is identical and Agnetha sounds so good singing in Spanish. The song is best experienced using good quality headphones so you can hear all the layers of this song.
Didn’t we tell you you would love this!? Didn’t we tell you you wouldn’t regret it!? Fabulous Dereck, I’m so pleased you got around to this. You are the best reactor out there. You will have the same reaction to Elaine, and the full on drama of I’m a Marionette. Trust me! ❤️ You rock!
Thx for the nice reaction The diversity from ABBA is/was unique They did it all Very underrated in the 70's and 80's...especially their albums I'm happy people discover these days how ABBA was and what they did Looking foward to you next
Ir was never a single but you need to listen to the whole "ABBA - The Album" - so many good songs - One Man, One Women and I Wonder (Departure) will feed your love for Frida and you really need to listen to I'm A Marionette and Hole In Your Soul
@@cg3771 I think Dereck's only listened to Waterloo, Honey Honey and Hasta Manana from that album so a lot of work their and only reacted to Mamma Mia and S0S from ABBA so more gems to discover. No sign of the earliest ABBA work from RIng Ring as yet! But as he's covered most of the 1979-1982 period, I'm sure he'll be getting round to them :)
What a great first five songs on 'The Album'. Eagle, Take A Chance On Me, One Man One Woman, The Name Of The Game, Move On..... Oh, hang on.... Hole In Your Soul comes next, erm that's six, wait a minute, it's seven, No, eight, ah, damn, I love that album.
Yes, she's sort of taking over the chorus and the la las. They did The Album while Agnetha was pregnant, so i think Frida did a lot of the harmonies on this album.
@@nielsulriksrensen9818 I can very clearly hear Agnetha (with her lower register) in chorus with Frida of course and in the la la las I can hear more clearly Agnetha`s voice.
@@nielsulriksrensen9818 - I can hear Frida's influence very powerfully on the choruses generally, but do you have a source for the la, la, las being done by her? They always sounded like Agnetha to me, in her high soprano voice.
One of the most underrated songs ever from ABBA. While you're with "The Album",look out for the Delux-Edition.There's another version of "Thank you for the music" with Agnetha singing it as a 'Doris Day-version'.Completely with a kind of german dialected Yankee-slang. She could really manipulate her voice.
It's a crime that this song isn't included on any of their best of albums (except the 4 CD's edition "Thank You For The Music", but on this we have all ABBA songs anyway). I recently read an article where it was called "The forgotten ABBA song". It's really sad that this masterpiece is so underrated.
I was, at last, diagnosed with a bunch of things 3 years ago and went on meds for the first time in my life. Alongside that (as a muso) I've been mesmerised by ABBA since 1981 at age 5 when I heard The Winner Takes It All for the first time. And now, at 46, When All Is Said And Done, this has become my favourite ABBA song. Probably their most positive song with no hint of sardonisism or irony. And it just moves and takes you with it. And then those voices, and that arrangement...everything has its place.
«Tropical Loveland», and «Dance While The Music Still Goes On», and «Gonna Sing You My Lovesong»,,,, are all worth «a listen»,,,,,🎧,,,, in my most humble opinion.
Thanks Derek for reacting to this wonderful song...one of my favorite from ABBA. Please react to THAT’S ME, I WONDER or OUR LAST SUMMER. The last 2 are beautiful ballads sung by Frida.
Hi Dereck, thank you so much for this reaction. I watched all of your reactions to ABBA, I liked them all. I was wondering how comes that you did not react to Move on, one of my favorites. I searched the internet for a reaction to this, but nothing. And here it is, finally. Thank you so much.
Lol your reaction to move on has bought tears to my eyes. This song I have chosen to fearwell my family friends when my time comes to depart from this world. Thankyou for your love of this song😊
Love this one. It is very visual to me. Its really as if you are sailing on a big wave ( like a roler in the ocean!) very well done (again!). They had 22 worldhits but as I said earlier, they could have had 50 hits easily
Mit einer der schönsten Titel der vier Schweden,leider gab es davon kein offizielles Video ( jedenfalls nicht das ich wüsste). Leider!!! Wieder schön anzusehen,wie Dereck mit geht!!! Jedesmal auf's neue eine Freude!!! Weiter so Dereck,freue mich schon auf die nächste Performance 👍👍👍!!! An alle ABBA Fan's-- Bleibt gesund und gebt auf euch acht 🙏🙏🙏✌️🙋‼️
I loved your reaction cause it is so valid, this is a classic piece in a level of its own!! Please see the song with the lyrics, cause I grew up on Abba but atill missed they said; Life is a motion, How I treasure every minute, being part of, being in it, with the urge to move on.... ❤️❤️❤️If you could react again, with the lyrics!! WE'RE HERE for it!!
Move On is a masterpiece! all "The Album" is a masterpiece there's a lot of songs from "The Album" that You don't react please react to the classic "Thank you for the músic" and just a day like today, but in 1978, "The Album" enter in the UK Charts, and picks #1 in their week debut and still in #1 seven weeks
Greetings from Australia, Dereck 👋😃🐨 A song that is timeless is also known as an 'evergreen' 😊. 'Move On' is a fantasic example that showcases the craftspeople that Benny, Björn, Frida & Agnetha are 😊💖 ...they don't just write and sing; they weave magic, in wonderfully detailed ways, leaving each song and tune as a uniquely polished and individual gem 😍🤩 Similar to your mystical imagings of the Nile coming into your mind with this song, my mind sees this song linked with water too, and for me, it's Sydney's bold headland beaches and magestic escarpmented waterways with the ocean and rivers shimmering in the sun, and the crisp effervescent sound and feeling of the salty water as the waves roll and splash 🌊💖
Hi Anthony hope your doing well. Thought I’d pop in and say hello. All of my ABBA reactions had to be removed a few months ago but I got two of them back up. Looking back at my first one is a little crazy but fun (showing off my wacky side) I hope I can start doing ABBA again. Nice to see our Australian ABBA fan is still as loyal to the super Scandinavians as ever. By the way I’m not chatting in my comment section at the moment because of some unusual fans being nasty a few months ago but I’m still a fan of other channels like Dereck and occasionally pop in. Stay safe 👍
That picture you paint of Sydney is very alluring at the moment, Mr. Rogers! The UK is very cold and dreary!! Re. 'Move On', it always reminds me of the Andes with those pan pipes!!
Lovely to see you here, Barry. You were a very popular reactor in ABBA fan circles. Good to see that you're up and running again. I think it would be a hoot to see you reacting to one of Dereck's reactions, like this one. He gave birth to a baby here after all!! You could have a field day. In the nicest possible taste.
@@ItsmeBarry Hi Barry 👋😃🎶 It's lovely to hear from you ...thank you so much for your message 🌼😊😁👍 I hope you are well 🙂 As one of the Dereck commenters noted in this specific TH-cam, I'm guessing that Dereck must have been able to retain all of his ABBA reactions/reviews, as he must have just the right balance of commentary spread-out through his posts, as 'Universal' seem to be the only mega music company that do not like anything that fans do (such as review/reactions, fan-art, and so forth) ...except for absorbing fan's money with re-re-re-releases of nothing new. The thing 'Universal' ignore is that engaging fans, and letting them do things within fair boundaries of not just copying and re-selling intellectual property (and rightly so), is that fair treatment *with* fans encourages more things like sales (I used to go to science fiction conventions in the 1970s and 1980s, and, from what I remember, as long as fans were doing the right thing, fan-creativities were usually ecouraged by companies; and such activities got even *more* people interested in the original production. And even to this day, the large international online art-work-on-products company: 'Redbubble', sees most of the artworks being original, yet there is also fair and legally-allowed and encouraged fan-art (they have a list of what's allowable, but that includes fan-art of musicians, TV shows, movies, etc.). Being an illustrator myself, and having seen many examples of individuals actually selling my late Dad's travel-posters as 'vintage art' that they feel they can sell for their own profits, I am totally against the stealing and reselling of intellectual property (as it essentially means that the original owner and it's legal estate don't get paid like anyone else would expect to get a wage or payment). But fair *non*-copied fan activities is a good thing that benefits sales and additional engagement, yet 'Universal' seem to ignore. Before I go (after all of my waffling-on 😉), yes... unfortunately TH-cam channels do often seem to get some nasty ripe trolling from insecure people who feel a need to have power over others, so they spread their unnecessary toxic commentary. It's not good that many social media platforms do not pro-actively offer a Duty-of-Care to protect people on the sites that those companies are earning millions from, as the consequences of trolling, as we know, can even become fatal. It's like a school where they do nothing to stop bullying happening. Cheers for now, and I'll keep my eye out for you, including whenever you do comments here 👋😊
@@synchronicityman9062 Hi Mr S. Man 😉😁👍 Yes, I can definitely imagine the Andes with the pipes 😃👍 I can think of some lovely scenery of UK magestic coastlines on sunny days with 'Move On' 🎶😊
The Song is really beautiful. The Spanish version is called Al Andar but without Björns voice because he was not available when the Spanish Album was recorded. It really works well in Spanish and only with the Girls, please check it out.
Yes. 'Dance' is an early ABBA classic which I think Dereck would adore. Another reactor, Jaybriel Akoi, was having a baby (to paraphrase Dereck) listening to that one last week! th-cam.com/video/2n1X_tXY9H8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JaybrielAkoi
ANOTHER TOTALLY UNDERRATED ABBA TRACK. MOVE ON, JUST ABBA GOLD BUYERS. BUY ALL 8 ABBA STUDIO ALBUMS. SO MANY OTHER GREAT SONGS IS WAITING FOR YOU TO BE HEARD 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Brillant song, knew you would love it! Happy you reacted to the original version first before you eventually hear the Spanish version, that lacks the intro by Bjorn. Please react to ‘That’s Me’ from the Arrival album
Agnetha was heavily pregnant with her second child with Bjorn (Christian Ulvaeus) when they recorded this song. ABBA had to record one song for ABBA - The Album's due release. Notice that her range had to be 2 octaves lower (vis-a-vis with Al Andar) in order not to strain her too much in her pregnancy. Frida had to make up for Agnetha's harmonies backed up by Björn (sped up vocals to attain higher register) in the Chorus and in the backing track. Frida's "La la la la..." was retained in the Spanish version recorded 3 years later.
@@JF-sh2sm Unfortunately, I no longer have that source with me but it was an ABBA forum which I participated back in 2007 when internet was just emerging (at least from where I am from), and lots of trivia were posted there from ABBA Fans and collaborators, ABBA interviews and news. Yeah sped up was pretty much a thing in the 70s to attain a higher pitch especially in pop/rock genre. Here's a sample of a sped up recording from ABBA th-cam.com/video/o2ZpQEzMBSY/w-d-xo.html
This is the only song that actually prefer the spanish over the english version el andar look it up this song is perfect should have been a single for sure a number one the sound is so full and sparkly here
I've traveled every country, I've traveled in my mind It seems we're on a journey, a trip through space and time And somewhere lies the answer to all the questions why What really makes the difference between all dead and Living things the will to stay alive Like a roller in the ocean, life is motion - Move On Like a wind that's always blowing, life is flowing - Move On Like the sunrise in the morning, life is dawning - Move On How I treasure every minute, being part of, being in it, With the urge to move on They say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul A voyager and settler they both have distant goals If I explore the heavens or if I search inside It really doesn't matter as long as I can tell myself That I have always tried Like a roller in the ocean, life is motion - Move On Like a wind that's always blowing, life is flowing - Move On Like the sunrise in the morning, life is dawning - Move On How I treasure every minute, being part of, being in it, With the urge to move on The morning breeze that ripples the surface of the sea The crying of the eagles that hover over me I see it and I hear it but how can I explain The wonder of the moment to be alive and feel the sun That follows every rain Like a roller in the ocean, life is motion - Move On Like a wind that's always blowing, life is flowing - Move On Like the sunrise in the morning, life is dawning - Move On How I treasure every minute, being part of, being in it, With the urge to move on Move On - Move On, Like a wind that's always blowing, Life is flowing - Move on Source: Musixmatch
That was the first song I heard from ABBA ,I felt in love immediately .Al andar...the Spanish version made me feel special.Then I became an ABBA's fan.
The album is there most thoughtful and spirited album... Eagle The Name Of The Game and many more. For it always had a Latin American like Peruvian touch with the flutes and the backing vocals. It’s a proper waltz a slow English one..
If you haven't seen Agnetha's 2013 live performance with Gary Barlow of "I should Have Followed You Home" I would highly recommend it.. it was Agnetha's first live performance in like 25 years.. older but still beautiful with that amazing voice and amazing to see her on the stage again.
ABBA were so immensely popular across Europe back then....Their music, just like Europop/Italodance later in the 80s, were some of the genres that really actually "united" the continent over all ethnic/cultural/linguistic/political borders. Almost everyone liked it. Critics often put ABBA's music down, stating that it's just "shallow pop drivel" so to speak. But it wasn't. Very often, their music was very well produced, highly complexly layered and even their lyrics in some songs often had a lot more depth than what critics gave them credit for. That said, they were HUGE here in my native Germany; my parents still have that old original "Arrival" LP album from 1976. Their best album though is 1981's "The Visitors" (their last), when they went fully 'adult contemporary' and quite dark.
I just want to tell you all I can't stop thinking about this song, it's still stuck in my head! 😆

This song has been in my head since 1977 ..... it is still today one of my all-time favorite song from ABBA

My favorite ABBA song. The harmonies are transcendental. The song is just sublime-just one of the greatest songs ever sung
One of my all time favorite ABBA songs.
The humming is the most melodious I've ever heard - simply devine.
What a beauty of song , music , voices , harmonies , melodies , lyrics , and swedish pop group . Absolute talent , perfection , and high inspiration .
All they are so pure genius . Greats minds of the world pop music forever .
The ABBA's voices are like how angels choirs singing the songs . Sublime .
Pure beauty , high inspiration , very beautiful angelic voices , pure talent , elegance , class , high quality , standar , cathegory and world level . Fantastic music , letters songs and voices . This is pure perfection in pop music forever .
This song is an absolute masterpiece of sound and melody. And the lyrics!!! A definite song to lift your spirits. Loved your reaction.
One of my favourite ABBA songs - this has helped me through some tough time over the years.
All harmony, lyrics, instruments. So clean, pure, and perfect!
One Man, One Woman is another Frida fronted song..splendid, malancholic... you'll simply love it Dereck
Yesss!
Sung by Agnetha actually .. 2nd 3rd verses
Most welcome to view the official Music Video, and you'll know who took the lead vocal throughout the song

My all time favourite. It has never aged, it’s like a fine wine. It’s heaven!
One Man, One Women is from the Abba: The Album. A malancholic but yet optimistic song. You'll love Frida's strong vocal here

Every kid growing up in Germany in the 1980s knows this song from that GARD-commercial you were referring to.
Move On is a masterpiece!
all "The Album" is a masterpiece
there's a lot of songs from "The Album" that You don't react
please react to the classic
"Thank you for the músic"
and just a day like today, but in 1978, "The Album" enter in the UK Charts, and picks #1 in their week debut
and still in #1 seven weeks
Questa e' una delle piu belle canzoni degli ABBA .. Thanks
"I'm gonna have a fricken baby"...you are so funny Dereck. Great reaction, my funeral song.
That's funny....I also have decided it's my funeral song....
This is my all time favourite ABBA song. The fact that Bjorn and Benny wrote a completely different set of lyrics, originally it was a love song
Greetings from Australia, Dereck 👋😃🐨
A song that is timeless is also known as an 'evergreen' 😊.
'Move On' is a fantasic example that showcases the craftspeople that Benny, Björn, Frida & Agnetha are 😊💖 ...they don't just write and sing; they weave magic, in wonderfully detailed ways, leaving each song and tune as a uniquely polished and individual gem 😍🤩
Similar to your mystical imagings of the Nile coming into your mind with this song, my mind sees this song linked with water too, and for me, it's Sydney's bold headland beaches and magestic escarpmented waterways with the ocean and rivers shimmering in the sun, and the crisp effervescent sound and feeling of the salty water as the waves roll and splash 🌊💖
Hi Anthony hope your doing well. Thought I’d pop in and say hello. All of my ABBA reactions had to be removed a few months ago but I got two of them back up. Looking back at my first one is a little crazy but fun (showing off my wacky side) I hope I can start doing ABBA again. Nice to see our Australian ABBA fan is still as loyal to the super Scandinavians as ever. By the way I’m not chatting in my comment section at the moment because of some unusual fans being nasty a few months ago but I’m still a fan of other channels like Dereck and occasionally pop in. Stay safe 👍
That picture you paint of Sydney is very alluring at the moment, Mr. Rogers! The UK is very cold and dreary!! Re. 'Move On', it always reminds me of the Andes with those pan pipes!!
Lovely to see you here, Barry. You were a very popular reactor in ABBA fan circles. Good to see that you're up and running again. I think it would be a hoot to see you reacting to one of Dereck's reactions, like this one. He gave birth to a baby here after all!! You could have a field day. In the nicest possible taste.
@@ItsmeBarry Hi Barry 👋😃🎶
It's lovely to hear from you ...thank you so much for your message 🌼😊😁👍 I hope you are well 🙂
As one of the Dereck commenters noted in this specific TH-cam, I'm guessing that Dereck must have been able to retain all of his ABBA reactions/reviews, as he must have just the right balance of commentary spread-out through his posts, as 'Universal' seem to be the only mega music company that do not like anything that fans do (such as review/reactions, fan-art, and so forth) ...except for absorbing fan's money with re-re-re-releases of nothing new.
The thing 'Universal' ignore is that engaging fans, and letting them do things within fair boundaries of not just copying and re-selling intellectual property (and rightly so), is that fair treatment *with* fans encourages more things like sales (I used to go to science fiction conventions in the 1970s and 1980s, and, from what I remember, as long as fans were doing the right thing, fan-creativities were usually ecouraged by companies; and such activities got even *more* people interested in the original production. And even to this day, the large international online art-work-on-products company: 'Redbubble', sees most of the artworks being original, yet there is also fair and legally-allowed and encouraged fan-art (they have a list of what's allowable, but that includes fan-art of musicians, TV shows, movies, etc.).
Being an illustrator myself, and having seen many examples of individuals actually selling my late Dad's travel-posters as 'vintage art' that they feel they can sell for their own profits, I am totally against the stealing and reselling of intellectual property (as it essentially means that the original owner and it's legal estate don't get paid like anyone else would expect to get a wage or payment). But fair *non*-copied fan activities is a good thing that benefits sales and additional engagement, yet 'Universal' seem to ignore.
Before I go (after all of my waffling-on 😉), yes... unfortunately TH-cam channels do often seem to get some nasty ripe trolling from insecure people who feel a need to have power over others, so they spread their unnecessary toxic commentary. It's not good that many social media platforms do not pro-actively offer a Duty-of-Care to protect people on the sites that those companies are earning millions from, as the consequences of trolling, as we know, can even become fatal. It's like a school where they do nothing to stop bullying happening.
Cheers for now, and I'll keep my eye out for you, including whenever you do comments here 👋😊
@@synchronicityman9062 Hi Mr S. Man 😉😁👍
Yes, I can definitely imagine the Andes with the pipes 😃👍
I can think of some lovely scenery of UK magestic coastlines on sunny days with 'Move On' 🎶😊
The Song is really beautiful. The Spanish version is called Al Andar but without Björns voice because he was not available when the Spanish Album was recorded. It really works well in Spanish and only with the Girls, please check it out.
Totally agree! Not fluent in Spanish but prefer the Spanish version! Both are great 😊
I love your reaction to this! This is such an amazing song! 😍
"It seems we're on a journey, a trip through space and time" - hence the title of their new album, "Voyage".
OMG! I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE your reactions 😍😍😍😍
I think this is one of ABBA's most profound songs. Might as well do the Spanish version next Dereck.
Thank you for reacting to ABBA, I have always loved from age 12 to now in my 50s. Please keep on reacting to more of their songs,from an Australian.
This is by far one of my favorites, after being an ABBA fan my entire life. Keep it going!
"I am having a baby!' - Love the song, love the reaction! 💛🧡❤
So incredible seeing you have the same reaction as I did when I was 14.
Thnx, one of my favorits.
One Man One Woman! You will love it!
Always loved the harmony in verse 3- refreshing to hear Agnetha’s lower register with Frida’s high vocals for a change.
Hello Dereck.
Thank you for another reaction. I enjoyed every second...Please react to Dance (While the music still goes on).
Yes. 'Dance' is an early ABBA classic which I think Dereck would adore. Another reactor, Jaybriel Akoi, was having a baby (to paraphrase Dereck) listening to that one last week! th-cam.com/video/2n1X_tXY9H8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JaybrielAkoi
Thx Dereck... thats what I prefer you 😎😎👍
I think you are the 1st who react this song in YT
Move On is one of ABBA's most beautiful, well-crafted and underrated songs. They really were at their peak with this album.
Abba is just fabuleus
I read that Frida had to support with the backing vocals ‘cause Aggi was pregnant. The spanish version the same thing.
The most beautiful use of yodelling ever in a song!!
ABBA, music for ever,.............
DAMN IT ALL THEIR SONGS ARE BRILLIANT!!! EVEN "King Kong SONG" AND "NINA PRETTY BALLERINA!!!!!!!!"
Thus song is outstanding even by Abbas high standards ...just epic ...it's on in my opinion Abbas best album ....amazing
ANOTHER TOTALLY UNDERRATED ABBA TRACK. MOVE ON, JUST ABBA GOLD BUYERS. BUY ALL 8 ABBA STUDIO ALBUMS. SO MANY OTHER GREAT SONGS IS WAITING FOR YOU TO BE HEARD 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Move on from The Album is like That’s Me from their Arrival album...both very underrated songs...
yes Derek haha knew you'd love this one . I remember getting the Album when it came out , every song is brilliant
Brillant song, knew you would love it! Happy you reacted to the original version first before you eventually hear the Spanish version, that lacks the intro by Bjorn. Please react to ‘That’s Me’ from the Arrival album
I’m gonna have a freaking baby.. ❤️ and bananas! Awesome review like always!
Agnetha was heavily pregnant with her second child with Bjorn (Christian Ulvaeus) when they recorded this song. ABBA had to record one song for ABBA - The Album's due release. Notice that her range had to be 2 octaves lower (vis-a-vis with Al Andar) in order not to strain her too much in her pregnancy. Frida had to make up for Agnetha's harmonies backed up by Björn (sped up vocals to attain higher register) in the Chorus and in the backing track. Frida's "La la la la..." was retained in the Spanish version recorded 3 years later.
Björn’s vocals were sped up? Where did you read this? I’d like to know the source
She was recording whilst reclining on a deck chair due to her pregnancy if i recall ...
@@JF-sh2sm Unfortunately, I no longer have that source with me but it was an ABBA forum which I participated back in 2007 when internet was just emerging (at least from where I am from), and lots of trivia were posted there from ABBA Fans and collaborators, ABBA interviews and news. Yeah sped up was pretty much a thing in the 70s to attain a higher pitch especially in pop/rock genre. Here's a sample of a sped up recording from ABBA th-cam.com/video/o2ZpQEzMBSY/w-d-xo.html
@@kimbozw1808 yeah, I agree from what I have heard..
Wait. Christian wasn’t born until ‘79. I know they’re all amazing but to my knowledge, they can’t time travel lol.
Well...this one is certainly unique...for an ABBA song.
Was always one of my favourites. Beautiful baby. Congratulations!
Love how u react to all the instruments 😅😅🤗🤗
Btw: It reminds me of their song "Eagle" to some degree...
This is the only song that actually prefer the spanish over the english version el andar look it up this song is perfect should have been a single for sure a number one the sound is so full and sparkly here
I've traveled every country, I've traveled in my mind
It seems we're on a journey, a trip through space and time
And somewhere lies the answer to all the questions why
What really makes the difference between all dead and
Living things the will to stay alive
Like a roller in the ocean, life is motion - Move On
Like a wind that's always blowing, life is flowing - Move On
Like the sunrise in the morning, life is dawning - Move On
How I treasure every minute, being part of, being in it,
With the urge to move on
They say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul
A voyager and settler they both have distant goals
If I explore the heavens or if I search inside
It really doesn't matter as long as I can tell myself
That I have always tried
Like a roller in the ocean, life is motion - Move On
Like a wind that's always blowing, life is flowing - Move On
Like the sunrise in the morning, life is dawning - Move On
How I treasure every minute, being part of, being in it,
With the urge to move on
The morning breeze that ripples the surface of the sea
The crying of the eagles that hover over me
I see it and I hear it but how can I explain
The wonder of the moment to be alive and feel the sun
That follows every rain
Like a roller in the ocean, life is motion - Move On
Like a wind that's always blowing, life is flowing - Move On
Like the sunrise in the morning, life is dawning - Move On
How I treasure every minute, being part of, being in it,
With the urge to move on
Move On - Move On,
Like a wind that's always blowing,
Life is flowing - Move on

‘It’s A88A if I have to play it over again I will”
I’m having a baby.. yeah another t-shirt I would probably buy.
That was the first song I heard from ABBA ,I felt in love immediately .Al andar...the Spanish version made me feel special.Then I became an ABBA's fan.
This is a great album. Lots of great songs. I still have this vinyl at home.,
Dance (while the music still goes on), in the Waterloo album, is kind of waltz.
Fantastic song! One of my favorite early ABBA songs.
Great but not a waltz it’s a 4/4 rhythm more like a bolero
@@dreasbn yep, right.
The album is there most thoughtful and spirited album... Eagle The Name Of The Game and many more. For it always had a Latin American like Peruvian touch with the flutes and the backing vocals. It’s a proper waltz a slow English one..
@@dreasbn I like this album so much. Here in Italy, my country, I bought it some years ago in a music shop.
This song is a dream
English language title song : Move On .
Spanish language title song : Al Andar .
If you haven't seen Agnetha's 2013 live performance with Gary Barlow of "I should Have Followed You Home" I would highly recommend it.. it was Agnetha's first live performance in like 25 years.. older but still beautiful with that amazing voice and amazing to see her on the stage again.
ABBA were so immensely popular across Europe back then....Their music, just like Europop/Italodance later in the 80s, were some of the genres that really actually "united" the continent over all ethnic/cultural/linguistic/political borders. Almost everyone liked it.
Critics often put ABBA's music down, stating that it's just "shallow pop drivel" so to speak. But it wasn't. Very often, their music was very well produced, highly complexly layered and even their lyrics in some songs often had a lot more depth than what critics gave them credit for. That said, they were HUGE here in my native Germany; my parents still have that old original "Arrival" LP album from 1976. Their best album though is 1981's "The Visitors" (their last), when they went fully 'adult contemporary' and quite dark.
