The line, “it’s so strange, when you’re down, and lying on their floor, how you rise, shake your head, get up and aak for more” is personally very inspirational for me. The one line has empowered me at several points in my life. I grew up with this being my favorite ABBA song, I was very young when it came out, and it never achieved the popularity I have always felt it deserved.. it makes me so very happy to see the younger generation enjoying it. But that one line is LIFE to me.
"When all is said and done" was on ABBA's last studio album back then which was "The Visitors" from 1981. So it was written after both couples had divorced. It's most commonly stated as Frida's and Benny's break-up song. They had been a couple for a long time but their marriage did not last long. As you can hear, it is not as dark and melodramatic as "The Winner takes it all". It's like an easier way to split up because you don't have bits and pieces being left behind. Let's say like children as Agnetha and Björn did have which makes splitting up more difficult in general. As they always stated, the two songs don't reflect what really happened. The divorces just gave reason to write another story. So two songs, two possible ways to split up. And you can hear and feel it. The looking back scenes are a reminiscence to "Knowing me, knowing you", their third break-up song, where they also did that in the video. It's kind of a symbolic action. Looking back whilst hopefully not being in anger.
Beside the fact that the lyrics were Written by Bjorn, Bjonr & Benny stated in interviews that both songs did not have been written ad break song on their own private situation, Though Bjorn also stated that the lyrics were indeed written and might be affected by their own situation although not meant to be.
This is one great song. Emotional, a bit desperate, but also forceful vocals. The Visitors is a great album, and the title track is one of the best songs they ever did. Even thought it's very gloomy, it makes you in a good mood, because it's so damn good :-)
You would love "The day before you came" from 1982. That was the then last recording they made after "The Visitors" album in 1981. This song "when all is said and dine" is on the Visitors album, 1981 which was released in December of that year. Summer of 1982 they recorded two more songs "Under attack: and " The day before you came"
This song is generally understood (by the fans) to be about Frida and Benny’s divorce. (This is their version of Agnetha and Björn’s ‘Winner Takes it All’.) Yet another beautiful break-up song from the masters of happy/sad catchy tunes with a melancholy twist.
Along with One of Us this is my favourite original Abba song. From The Visitors in 1981. This was a single in some countries. Just a beautiful vocal and arrangement.
Another fun reaction to such a good song. It's from the album The Visitors. Try listening to the title track - also lead by Frida. It was released in the U.S as a single, but also as a double A side (with When All Is Said and Done) and reached top ten on the dance chart.
There’s a Spanish version of this ‘No hay a Quien Culpar’ more or less the same video. Same clothes, same positions etc, but was filmed just after Frida had a drastic new haircut. Fun to watch
You like the up-beat vibe!? If you want an up-beat vibe from ABBA which will even get you more of these vibes; thry an listen/react to a so-called 'previous unreleased' ABBA track which did not got released until 1993 on the 'More ABBA Gold' album: "I AM THE CITY", which, for me, is one of the best ABBA-songs ever released.. It's complicated, dancable, and só intriguing in its build-up: it's lyrics are very difficult to memorize as there are nó repeats throughout (or maybe just the single phrase: 'yes I am the city, you let me be!'), and there are two continuous singing moments which will make you end up gasping for air, as they take that long: AWESOME! This 'I Am The City' hasn't been reviewd much, and I would appreciate it if you would like to listen to it here, for the very first time, of course, for I can't wait to see your face light up all over once again by the joy that is ABBA! Keep up the good work! I enjoy having you here! 😉😉 Kind regards from the Netherlands, and me, Eric 👋
In the rest of the world, "One Of Us" was ABBA's biggest hit from their album "The Visitors.......................but in America it was "When All Is Said And Done". It was their 14th and last U.S. Top 40 hit.
Thx! They have in the first albums, but not only less known songs but very interesting in terms of creativity, where the production, the arrangements are not as complete but there are more ideas with sometimes weaker texts too. The album "abba" before the album "arrival"me seems the richest diversity in musical styles and creativity.
When All Is Said & Done came from the last album. As in the last album before the new one! The song came after the divorces. Personally, I thought this was their last great pop song from their last album. Some will disagree, of course. Try their song I'm A Marionette for something different to their usual pop sound. A song covered by heavy metal bands!
Couldn't agree more with you Sir. To this day, I still don't understand why it was never released as a single in the U.K.?? 'Head Over Heals' really???? Yuck
@German Morawski ABBA must have thought it had single potential cause they shot a video for it months before the album was released. I don't understand the thinking behind it.
The choirs were just the ABBA girls backing this song and having their different singing voices and harmonies layered! You're righ though! This is on their last album 40 years ago.
Hey TCC Tyler Creates, you had me all time travelling with your discussion of what vids you'd dropped and when. You seemed to say that you'd dropped a review of Voyage before this one, but you hadn't actually recorded it at that point. Oh it confuses me. Anyway, "When all is said and done" and your reaction to it (which you're doing tomorrow). It's one of Abba's finest songs in my opinion. I think when Agnetha looks around at the camera, her emotion is (meant to be) one of sadness and loss, but you interpreted it as disdain. This is about 'looking back' literally and figuratively. A relationship has ended, but life goes on, and there's no hurry any more. No need to rush about, no need to please each other, no need to do anything but have a final toast and move on. I'm pleased you like this song. It's one whose meaning is easily understood by the over 40s and one that's harder to understand for the younger but you do seem to have got it. It would have been interesting to see what your wife had to say about the song too, but you did this one solo. I've subscribed following your wee plea at the end, as you're highly entertaining and you're done plenty of Abba.
i actually went and recorded the reaction directly after, thinking naively i'd be able to get it up before the end of the week haha. it's actually uploaded and everything too but UMG, a copyright company, blocked the video, so i'm currently sitting in a claims battle with them right now. glad you enjoyed this video though, and thank you for subscribing! :)
WOW...reactors on here rarely 'react' to my abbasolute favorite ABBA song cause it certainly wasn't one of their bigger hits (#27 in the U.S.). I'm impressed. Good Job Tyler!!!! Just posted it on Reddit too. Hopefully it'll get you some more subscribers. If you like this song Tyler, you might want to checkout the SNL parody called 'Friends Giving' where they changed the lyrics to this song to be about Thanksgiving...fun stuff.
I just watched this episode and I think it's so cool that you're on point with your analysis of the song. Yes, it was made prior to them breaking up professionally and personally. Amusing that you had mentioned "The Ex- look", as they turned back. The amazing thing about their style, is yes, the music makes you happy, but if you read and soak in the lyrics, it's a breakup song, as is a lot of their other songs. Thanks for your reaction! Genuine!
You've still barely scratched the ABBA surface of great songs of their by the way. And I mean that genuinely. You should probably have a look at dancing queen by ABBA at some stage just so you realise it's a famous song you know by them if you hadn't! The video is worth a watch anyway.
There seem to be two kinds of "reactors". Those who imagine that we think their voices are as important as the performers', and those who let use listen to the entire song and then talk about it. The later are always the more interesting, and the more respectful.
i think it’s more that i make comments on the song in real time and i have thoughts i want to get out that i’d forget by time the song is over. if you want to listen to a song uninterrupted you can always stream it yourself :)
? Always someone complaining on RUclips. He wasn't saying anything bad or mean, it was him reacting to the video where she was making a face. The video is part of the reaction, otherwise he could just listen to an audio track. Nobody wants the exact same watered-down reaction from everyone, that's boring. If that's what you want, find that type of cliché reactor, there are tons of them to choose from. It's only interesting if he's himself and it's authentic.
@@erickyoung8331 He seems like a nice kid. Leave him alone. He's of a different generation and the videos, clothes and cultural trends and styles of the day would strike him as odd.
@@The_Jupiter2_Mission Why are you directing this to me? I was the one saying the OP was being overly critical and Tyler was just giving his personal viewpoint? Direct it to the OP not me.
it's just to keep the video from getting blocked, i used to do text over the video but got a decent amount of complaints from it so i switched to throwing a picture on top of the video to prevent blocks
@@TylerCreatesContent I had guessed the purpose all right on my own. I meant, the relevance of the subject... Because when think of ABBA, a piece of raw meat on a grill is not the first thing that comes to mind...
@@TylerCreatesContent This song was written after the divorce of AnniFrid Lyngstad and Benny Andersson. In 1971 they were engaged 💍 and did not marry till the height of ABBA's success in October 1978. After 2 years of marriage their marriage went om rocky grounds for some reason and on 26 November 1980 they separated. In late 1981 their divorce was filed and when it was this song was written for their divorce
I love seeing a younger generation getting excited about ABBA!!
Totally agree Tim!!! It's great!!!

Now you see why us oldies say today's music isn't what it used to be
Frida sounds absolutely amazing here. And the harmonies are so good.
Please react to The Visitors and I`m a marionette.

This song was ABBA top 40 in US Billboard 100 Single Chart in 1982. It peaked at #27.
That turn and look from Agnetha has always been considered one of the sexiest scowls of all time.
This is one great song. Emotional, a bit desperate, but also forceful vocals. The Visitors is a great album, and the title track is one of the best songs they ever did. Even thought it's very gloomy, it makes you in a good mood, because it's so damn good :-)
To this day, this was ABBA's last US top 40 hit.

This and "Our Last Summer" are my Top 2 favorite songs from ABBA.
J adore votre réaction jeune homme. 😊... Cela me réchauffe le cœur. En 1976 j avais 16 ans....
Another brilliant ABBA reaction! I reacted the same way to these songs when they were first released. Looking forward to your Voyage reaction
There’s a Spanish version of this ‘No hay a Quien Culpar’ more or less the same video. Same clothes, same positions etc, but was filmed just after Frida had a drastic new haircut. Fun to watch
With music you have ABBA and the rest lol! Every song unique and completely theirs
One of their best, and fantastic lyrics. Oh and a great video too.

ABBA, THE GREATEST MUSICAL GIFT TO THE WORLD. LOVE THIS SONG. HAVE A GO AT THIS POP, DISCO FUNK TRACK FROM VOULEZ VOUS ALBUM: AS GOOD AS NEW🤩🤩🤩🤩
Released in their last ever album "The Visitors" in 1981.

Thank you for your wonderful reaction! I also really like this song. Klem fra Lena
This was Frida & Benny’s break up song, like how “The Winner takes it all” was for Agnetha & Bjorn.
You should check out their Spanish versions of most of their hits, too. They were big in South America.
All their songs are fantastic in their own unique ways. Give a listen to Move On, Cassandra, and Put On Your White Sombrero.

I don’t think you’ve done SOS yet. You really have to check it out. Definitely one of their best in my opinion
SOS even inspired Sex Pistols. (their song Pretty Vacant) (I almost hear it)
Please react to the latest interview by Frida on BBC Radio about ABBA's latest album "Voyage". It's on youtube. She's so adorable.
Under Attack has the distorted voice that you like, as well. 😀
You need to react to the masterpiece The Day Before You Came
Sadly missed a UK Single release..a fan favourite!!!
Hallo ,maybe ,you should listen too 'the piper' sure you will like it!
Weird that this wasnt released in the UK. Maybe they were pissed that Head Over Heels broke their string of top tens.
The last single in the good old u.s.of A .

Try listening to Yes "Close To The Edge"
Do you collect vinyl records, or only digital.
How about doing ABBA album reaction/reviews, there are no bad songs and you can break them down into separate videos if needs be.
