- ABBA I Let The Music Speak reaction
1. Great job for the flute. I like the rips and it really stood at at the perfect time.
2. Form factor of this is good. It goes from like a waltz to a ballad to a march. I like how it goes through so many different things.
3. Singing was beautiful. Normally they're not that exposed especially on longer notes but here they're fully exposed.
I Let the Music Speak
ABBA
I'm hearing images, I'm seeing songs
No poet has ever painted
Voices call out to me, straight to my heart
So strange, yet we're so well acquainted
I let the music speak with no restrains
I let my feelings take over
Carry my soul away, into the world
Where beauty meets the darkness of the day
Where my mind is like an open window
Where the high and healing winds blow
From my shallow sleep the sounds awake me
I let them take me
Let it be a joke, let it be a smile
Let it be a farce, if it makes me laugh for a little while
Let it be a tear, let it be a sigh
Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry
Some streets are emptiness, dry leaves of autumn
Rustling down an old alley
And in the dead of night, I find myself a blind man
In some ancient valley
I let the music speak, leading me gently
Urging me like a lover
Leading me all the way, into a place
Where beauty will defeat the darkest day
Where I'm one with every grand illusion
No disturbance, no intrusion
Where I let the wistful sounds seduce me
I let them use me
Let it be a joke, let it be a smile
Let it be a farce, if it makes me laugh for a little while
Let it be a tear, let it be a sigh
Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry
Let it be a tear, let it be a sigh
Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry
Let it be the joy of each new sunrise
Or the moment when a day dies
I surrender without reservation
No explanation, 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
One word comes to mind from this song: FRIDA!!!! What an amazing voice!
Frida's vocal - wow!
Yes, this is one of her best vocal performances. I think Frida never got enough credit, because Agnetha sang lead on more hits. But songs like 'I Have A Dream', 'I Wonder (Departure)', 'One Man, One Woman', 'Our Last Summer', 'Cassandra', 'Should I Laugh Or Cry', and 'The Visitors' are just fantastic.
Pulsar77 And Andante, Andante! ☝🏻
yeah her vocals were lit.
@@Pulsar77 They actually had an equal number of solos, and a lot of Frida's solos went to the top: Super Trouper, Fernando, I have a dream, Knowing Me Knowing You, Money Money Money etc. It may vary from country to country, but Frida has always had a very enthusiastic group of followers. She's very loved indeed .-)
@@m.menneke8513 Oh, I think Frida's leads were far more interesting. Among my favorites are The Visitors, When All Is Said and Done, Me and I, Like an Angel..., Knowing Me Knowing You etc. Perhaps less easily accessible, and more experimental and complex. ABBA at its most advanced and artisticly ambitious.
There are many talented singers out there but Frida's voice has that exceptional Hi-Fi quality to it.
Frida sings the lead here beautifully, and then Agnetha comes in with excellent harmony. Frida has that rich lower register in her voice.
The most beautiful female voice ever recorded. Bravo Frida! ❤
This is one of my favorites. The complex structure, the amazing arrangement, Frida"s voice, and the layered backing vocals, everything just works. This is how to write an intelligent pop song. It is indeed very musical-esque.
A few years earlier they wrote a mini-musical called 'The Girl With The Golden Hair', for which three songs were recorded: 'Thank You For The Music', 'I Wonder (Departure)', and 'I'm A Marionette'. Thematically, 'I Let The Music Speak' is obviously close to 'Thank You For The Music'. Musically, the beautiful song 'I Wonder' has a similar sound, again with Frida as lead. And 'I'm A Marionette' is the most dramatic and theatrical song they've ever recorded. Really intense vocals and great orchestration, it will surprise you.
one of hte abba songs talk about the girl with the golden hair right
@@jaybrielakoi7747 Yes, it's referenced in Thank You For The Music.
first time I hear this.....unreal,...never knew they could be soooo different!
You don't need TH-cam to discover ABBA songs if you really want it, do you? Just listen to their albums and discover a whole new world 😉
It’s like 10 different songs into one. Abba was out of this world!
Frida is sooo good!!!
So enjoyable watching this reaction video :-) your face says everything. Another masterpiece from the four musical geniuses.
Few understand how truly complex this song really is.
Masterpiece!
In the 1980’s Benny and Björn joined up with Tim Rice to creat the Musical “Chess” you should check out the songs from this “One Night In Bangkok” sung by Murray Head and “I Know Him So well” sung by Elaine Paige & Barbara Dickson which was the 2nd best selling single of 1985 and the best selling single by a female duet of all time on the UK charts.
Murray Head is Anthony Head's brother. Just an interesting tidbit if you are "Buffy" fan.
I prefer Heaven Help My Heart to I Know Him So Well.
Frida's phrasing is absolutely amazing. The way she leads from the 2nd verse into the chorus with several bars? You don't hear singers doing that these days.
This is one of the few songs where Frida's voice gets the room to develop and takes the stage profoundly. At times I get Barbra Streisand/Yentl vibes. Because of the orchestral arrangement in combination with the wonderful storytelling by Frida.
Simply, a celebration of the power of music. Thanks for the review.
I know him so well, Elaine Page ( west end royalty) and Barbara Dickson, no 1 in UK for weeks 1986, From CHESS, a musical the boys wrote with Tim Rice,. Also covered by Whitney.
Whitney also covered " Heaven help my heart" ( chess)
Abba is great group
I haven't heard this in nearly 35 years, thanks!!
Holy cow, ya I sometimes get old songs in my head and I go back and listen to it. it's weird.
Musical plays are a form of drama, so yes you watch them. But this is a stand alone song, and songs can be excerpted from musicals anyway. This is clearly one of their best later songs.
This is very theatrical. Benny & Bjorn were writing musicals such as 'Chess' at this time. I love their song 'Angeleyes' from 'Voulez-vous' album
Angeleyes sounds good. I'll do that one.
no words really needed...let the music speak!
This song was really the bridge between Abba and them writing their first musical. It finds its way in to the 'Where I want To Be' musical number from Chess.
I hope you don't dislike the entire wind section!
And in the " Endgame"(chess) too.
You should react to Voulez-Vouz off the album of the same name by ABBA; it's one of my absolute favorites of theirs :)
Alright deal!!! I'll do it.
Here is another Frida song for you. I don't see you reacting to this video, but you should watch it just to get an idea of Frida's incredible vocal range. I will let Wikipedia describe this performance.
"In the summer of 1967, Lyngstad won a national talent competition with the song "En Ledig Dag" ("A Free Day" or "A Day Off"). Unbeknownst to Frida, the winner of the contest was also expected to appear the same evening in one of the country's most popular TV shows at that time, Hylands Hörna (Hyland's Corner; Lennart Hyland being the host of the show). This programme was broadcast for two hours, on the very same day that Sweden changed from driving on the left-hand side of the road to the right. For this occasion the show was re-named Hylands Högerhörna (Hyland's Right Corner)."
Frida became a professional singer at the age of 13 singing in dance bands. In this performance she is 21 or 22 years old. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/xHUGxTvkKis/w-d-xo.html
Watched the whole video. At first I thought you meant she was 13 in this video. I freaked out. lol. It's weird for me to see her not singing in english.
@@jaybrielakoi7747 Fride, according to what I read somewhere, has over a 3 octave range while Agnetha's range is 2.5 or somewhere around there.
Recently Freda picked this song to wrap up an interview on BBC radio, one of her favorites.

This should have been a single, and NOT "Head over Heals". This a great song
Neither one should be a single.
Nice reaction

This is Frida's (the brunette) vocal opus! Her sultry voice and beautiful interpretation made this track one of ABBAs best recordings.
They are moving to musical theater kind of style during this time in their career. The boys wanted to move from the typical 3 minute pop song they have mastered all through out
at the time b&B wrote this they again were experimenting with new sounds as heard on the title track the visitors, and the more classical styles like the song above which sounds much like the music they wrote for the musical chess. thats the direction they were heading.
if you listen carefully, you can hear that orchestration in The Visitors as well.
I'll listen again
If you have not heard The Chess musical, where Björn and Benny did the music, you are in for a treat.
Jay, can you please watch. (What kind if fool). Barbara streisand and barry gibb. It's a beautiful song. Thank you jay, 💞💞
In the UK we can’t see your reactions to SOS and Eagle by ABBA
I can see SOS, but not Eagle, here in Belgium.
Pulsar77 thanks I can also see SOS noe
@@robertdinmore1971 It was probably blocked for a while. Jaybriel mentioned that Eagle got blocked too, hopefully that will be resolved as well. I'm curious to see what he has to say about Eagle.
ya.....I can't control that. That's the label deciding that stuff. sorry
A very hard song to react, specially for the ones who don't know ABBA or are not fans. Conclusion, Jaybriel: THE VISITORS is a completely sick album... It seems they knwew it would be their last Album;;;
Whaaaat
The Visitors..is the best and the strongest album by ABBA !!! THE VISITORS is amazing !
AbbracadabbrA
Thanks for the ABBA reaction. I think in my first comment to you on an ABBA reaction i told you; ABBA did all. Your probably just starting to really understand what I meant. Sure they pumped out Pop hits and by this point that was easy, But they did so much more. You should check out "I Wonder" --> th-cam.com/video/-zKKSNaRbaU/w-d-xo.html from the "Departure" album. Or if you want a solid Pop hit "One Of Us" --> th-cam.com/video/IIKAe8Wi0S0/w-d-xo.html from this album. Or for something completely different my favorite "The Day Before You Came" --> th-cam.com/video/1HnOFwqpLRQ/w-d-xo.html Just an amazing band, Thanks again.
Barry gibb, and albhy gaulutin. Write this song.💥
ABBA basically ended because the two guys wanted to move on to compose musicals.
