Lovely reaction. This is a very dark album, and despite the sweet sounds, a lot of us think this is a song about death, someone's last moments of consciousness, as they close their eyes for the last time. Frida's voice has never been more magnificent. The way the ticking clock just stops still gets me, 42 years on. I love how after all these years, people like yo still get how magical ABBA were. The public in 1981 were moving onto new wave and kind of lost interest in ABBA, especially when they moved away from the happy-clappy, swing your pants ABBA they had always known. But thanks to ABBA Gold, Erasure an movies like Mamma Mia and Priscilla, then remembered 11 years later they were actually rather great. I believe ABBA are eternal and, 500 years from now, new generations will still be discovering them. Keep going, you are fantastic at this.
When i first heard this i didn't get/liked this.I was too young to apreciate it.But a couple of weeks later i caught my self getting chills and the need to cry while listening to this all alone in my teenage room.
This is the only ABBA song with only one of the women appearing. Just Frida and Benny in the studio, shortly after their break-up. Loaded with emotions - no wonder you are affected. We all are.
@@MisterReactions it’s a really sad but beautiful song. Check out ‘From a Twinkling Star’ as it’s a mix of all the different demos of the song as it went through different stages - one of them is almost disco like x
Play “Like An Angel Passing Through My Room” back to back with “I Still Have Faith In You” and the 40 years between the two songs disappear in an instant. But then that’s where it gets spooky and you analyse what you did in your life. Then it hits home.
@@christianoazzuro6711 I look around at ABBA reaction videos. Often I see just click bait idiots who say “1st time hearing” when I know it is a lie. I often do not comment. When a comment is required, I then decide to contribute.
This is my all time favourite ABBA song, pure magic! Happy that you like it that much, too. Whenever I hear this song I'm in the room described in the lyrics, thinking of my parents, my brother (they all died too soon), my childhood, friends then and now... It's as Frida sings: "Half awake and half in dreams seeing long forgotten scenes..." But enough nostalgia and melancholy for now. I'm off to the Alpha Quadrant seeing if Picard can save Starfleet...😊
In a '90s interview that Madonna gave in Paris to some Swedish reporter when she was asked about Abba she discribed them "boring'.But a couple of years later she 'fell into their trap" and unexpectedly recorded this.Then in 2005 she begged B+B to sample GGG by sending them a very sweet letter begging them for permission.I'm glad she reconsidered and "Hung Up' was massive getting in N01 in 41 countries!
До слез. Анни-Фрид потрясающая. Мне нравится Ваша реакция на эту изумительную песню Фриды. Черный кот или кошечка просто прелесть!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Эта так мило! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Tears, tears... Amazing Anni-Frid!!! I like your reaction on beautiful song of Frida. Black cat is wonderful!!! It's so cute!!! ❤❤❤❤❤💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
I would have also liked to hear a Frida solo delivery on ...."The Day before you came'.I think it would be really good and also fit fine to her voice.Could have been nice for me to have 2 different recprded versions to that song since this band had two great leadsingers.
I love this song, too, but even more I love "I Let The Music Speak" from the same album. I hope for a reaction to that song, it's also one of Frida's best vocals. 😍
I don't know if you've noticed, but Frida throws an Irish hint of accent on the last line, at the close of the song, "like an angel passing through myiee room". I don't know if it's on purpuse, or by happy accednet, but it brings more emotion to the song.👍I love Madonna, but your right, nothing compares to this original. Awesome reaction video! Thanks for this! 💅
Thank you Mark ❤.. So much better than Madonna. She claims that ABBA is boring. Yes right, that's why she samples their music 🎶. Brilliant job again Mark 👏👏
'Like An Angel Passing Through My Room' was originally titled 'Another Morning Without You' you can hear snippets of different versions of 'Like An Angel Passing Through My Room' in the demo medley called 'From A Twinkling Star To A Passing Angel'. 'The Visitors' album was released on 30th November 1981 its a fantastic album it was never intended to be their last album as they began recording sessions for a 9th album in 1982. Alot of people I have spoken to recently have said that 'The Visitors' album isn't great I strongly disagree all the songs are beautiful. 'Should I Laugh Or Cry' which was recorded in 1981 during the sessions for 'The Visitors' it wasn't included on the album originally but has since been included on all the various re-issues of 'The Visitors' album it was used as the B-Side to 'One of Us'.
The instrumentation is minimal. The music box and the ticking of a clock. I've seen comments in the past saying Frida was too close to the microphone but that was obviously a deliberate artistic choice. It's to give the feel of the narrator and listener being in a near empty room. The song is about someone contemplating their life before going to sleep for the last time. The Visitors is a fabulous album for sure.
@@MisterReactions Ok. I looked it up. I heard her demo. Never known this. You are totally right. Sorry. I grow up in Sweden, with Abbas music, I was 14 years of age when I heard Dancing Queen for the first time 1976. It blow my mind.🤗 All my wallpapers in my teenage-room was with Abba. I love them so. Still. I have all their album, even in Swedish. 😍
Madonna first made a demo of Like an Angel that she never released but it leaked years later… I think it was around the time of the Music album. Then years later she sampled Gimmie Gimmie in her hit song Hung Up, which was on her Confessions album. During the confessions tour, she dressed in an ABBA costume during a performance of Erotica. I think those are her main ABBA callbacks
This might sound prejudiced, but it really is just ignorance: that accent/manner of speech, is it gay or Sunderland? I really do mean this as an actual question.
@@MisterReactions Thank you, though I have to admit: after watching this reaction video I watched a couple more, and the answer to my question soon became obvious. Especcially after the girl friend ( two words) video. Nice to watch someone just not caring too much though. Until next time :-)
Frida's voice is pure magical. She def is THE angel passing through the room when she sings. WHAT A TALENT.❤
This song freaked me out when I first heard it. That voice!
Frida is my favourite. That voice!
A perfectly revenant reaction to this very touching song! This one really let's Frida show off her voice. Also your cat loves you 😁
And we love you x

Frida has the best voice in recorded music history
Frida is a very good singer but being the best voice in music industry is solely your own creation.
Such an epic song. Soldiers from the same album is such a beautiful song as well ❤️

So lovely seeing you so entranced by this beautiful song. The Visitors is my favourite album too - just magical from start to finish🥰
It really is!! Great gem!
This song really moved me! Another visitors reaction is currently uploading!

@@thehub73 Oh that demo is SACRED.A great document that showed their hard working proccess.LUV it!
It's a beautiful song, which becomes moving thanks to Frida's vocal mastery❤️...
See ya , Mr.

Benny has the contract from her, framed and mounted in his office as pride and place. Interesting how the wheels of life turn. 👍
Who's Madonna?😳
@@plerpplerp5599 a comment like this only makes you look foolish. She’s only the best selling female artist of all time.
Abba have magic. That simple.
Thank you. Yes ABBA really have magic!
As another one once commented in their official channel 'You were our fairytale'.They were such a comfort to us.Still are.

Wonderful ABBA song (cover by madonna) 💯💯💯👌👌👌

Please listen to Frida solo song / Et liv I Solen , her voice is out off this world

Did Madonna copy this song? I thought she only did a version of Gimmie Gimmie. Or?
She covered this! Xx
Madonna covered Gimme Gimme
@@lisacrane3143 In that case Mr Reacter said it wrong, he said that Madonna did "Like an angel pass.... "Abbas song.

Plus in my defence: I sometimes work with a Scouser. The lines are blurred.
