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.
This is one of those undiscovered gems for a lot of people who aren't aware of just how many wonderful songs ABBA recorded that weren't singles. It's beautiful and those la la las touch heaven. It's exquisite.
I still don't understand how this song was not a single. It would be a #1. One of their best ever. And since I started viewing reaction videos that I'm waiting for someone to fall in love with this masterpiece! Congrats Dereck, for the good taste and nice reactions!
Move On is soo mystical and optimistic that there are times that I feel like crying as I'm listening to every words, harmonising and instruments, enthralled, blessed
It does make you cry no idea why but it gets into your brain and sets off the sense that causes tears. One of their best songs ever wish the label would put out these obvious number ones as singles so other people can hear the genius of this band over the years. It was recorded in 1977 and stands up so well today in 2024 47 years later. Wtf?????????
Move On is one of Abba's best songs, period. The melody, harmonies, and poignant lyrics about the will to live, explore and overcome. Crystal clear vocals from Agnetha in the verses, with the warm Frida vocals blending in the chorus "being part of, being in it". Love the flute flourishes and the electric piano instrumental in the intro and bridge that is like a cascading waterfuall. Pure joy in the end with the La La La.....music doesnt' get any better.
Yes to all you wrote - fantastic melody/harmonies/arrangement and the lyrics somehow capture a positive message while wrapped inside a slightly melancholy melody. You can listen to it when either sad or happy .... it works both ways. Truly a masterpiece.👍
Absolutely my favorite ABBA song. The line "what really makes the difference between all dead and living things is the will to stay alive" hits me every time.
My Mom liked this song a lot. I knew if I listened to this, I would cry, because it was one of the songs that kept playing in my head right after she passed away in Sept 2019.
Not in the history but maybe in the last years but the Mamma Mia sequel & Cher Album helped to to rember their power ... Steps band in these days have a new album with Abba’s touch.... Never underrated maybe rembered only for hits !!
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 .
I‘m an ABBA fan from the first time I saw them on TV. Eurovision 74. I was 8 years old. If you will ask me for my favorite Abba song I have to say: I am not able to say which one. But Move on will be in the Top 5. thanks for reacting 🙏
"Move On" is a waltz song recorded by the Swedish Music Group ABBA for their 1977 release, ABBA: The Album. The lead vocals were performed by Björn Ulvaeus in the spoken first verse and by Agnetha Fältskog in the second and third verses. The Spanish version of "Move On", "Al Andar" (or "El Andar"), was recorded in January 1980 for ABBA's Spanish language album Gracias Por La Música .
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.
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
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.
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 :)
@@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.
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.
It is very popular on Radio 2 in the UK. 'Steve Wright In The Afternoon' show plays it regularly as it is one of his favourite ABBA tracks, considering it "truly uplifting...".
@@Clavinovaman Yes, Steve Wright likes it, doesn't he! I've heard Soldiers a couple of times on Ken Bruce's show...and it's the only show you'll hear I Know There's Something Going On at least once a year. Not that I'm counting...!!!
I used to listen to some (a lot) of their albums when I first read Lord of the rings. Still this song instantly reminds me of those books. The music has connected to the story for me. This Album of Abba is completely underrated! It was one of their best.
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.
Thank you so much to listen to one of my favourite Song. This is fantastisc.🥰 I was laughing so much on you’re reaction. You are The best ! Regards from The Netherlands 🥰
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!
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.
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
The one song I could think similar to this would be Hasta Mañana. You should check that one Dereck. By the way I'm always looking forward to your abba reactions. You are the only one that makes justice to their songs with your comments. Thanks Dereck!
This song was played for a hair shampoo advert in Germany for a long, long time before I discovered it was an ABBA track. I recognized it as an ABBA title the first time I heard it on the radio, because I could recognize ABBA by the voices back then. A great song. Even today after so many years. I understand your enthusiasm and I am happy with you.
The latest popular song from Agnetha was a Duett with Gary Barlow in 2013. There is a Live Video in RU-vid. It calls: "I should have followed you home" It sounds fantastic😍😍😍
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.
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 🙏🙏🙏✌️🙋‼️
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.
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
Please, react to "My Love My Life". An Agnetha lead song. It's been said that she could sing the ingredients on a can of soup and it be beautiful to the point of tears. I believe it.
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.
«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.
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
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.
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.
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 RU-vid, 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 RU-vid 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' 🎶😊
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😊
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!!
This is not a single an album track it deserves to be single and to reach #1, try I'm a marionette, I wonder, one man one woman you like them too, like move on . The album is a masterpiece
