ABBA Reaction MOVE ON (BRILLIANT! A KEEPER) | Dereck Reacts

[@DereckReacts]

I just want to tell you all I can't stop thinking about this song, it's still stuck in my head! 😆

[@tootsie5052]

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.

[@derekpetrie6707]

Another song which could have been a single.

[@kimmokurikka2334]

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.

[@martincharron2399]

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

[@martincharron2399]

Indeed, very interesting interview.....Agnetha and especially Frida look simply AMAZING

[@joselapido8526]

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.

Hi there

[@kcreeves199]

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.

[@ekerowillow1610]

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.

[@resireg]

Derek, please react to "He is your brother" live in Australia, 1977

You can say that for many famous pop musicians out there. Most people only know their top 40 hits, which is sad from an artistic point of view.

My favorite ABBA song. The harmonies are transcendental. The song is just sublime-just one of the greatest songs ever sung

[@ysaacwichmann8675]

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 .

[@martymapson]

This is like one of their most beautiful songs ever. Very under rated.

[@nickchristoforou7850]

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.

[@kwikbit]

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.👍

[@carolynnangle4492]

Nailed it.

[@sharifuddinsalleh7119]

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

[@roberthughes1676]

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?????????

[@anguse2068]

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.

My fave song of Abba. ..

[@sallerterrer1285]

Two of my fave . The album" is a masterpiece.

[@jerrycote659]

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

[@guyinnyc1]

Yes! That's me is yet one more nugget with a rich harmony and an intetesting discoish latin beat...hooks galore

[@halldorra]

Love Fridas contribution in this one

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

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.

Frida’s voice is so beautiful! ❤️

[@anderlundberg9297]

"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 .

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.

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.
