My favourite part of this song is the genius of two people for whom English is a second langauge ryming 'sensible' with 'incomprehensable' Bloody brilliant
To this generation, English was almost like a third language. In most Swedish schools, high German and French were usually regarded just as important languages as English up until the late 1960s or early 70s.
@@herrbonk3635 This is a quite late album though and they have used english on tours for years. But they never got rid of the swedish accent I guess.
Very true!!!
The whole group and their song catalog is, as the English would say, bloody brilliant.
ABBA RULES
It makes me so happy to see young people (I'm 70) discovering how amazing ABBA is. I was fortunate enough to see ABBA in concert in Portland Oregon in 1979.
Agree, I’m 61 (in 10 days time) and I saw the same concert in Bingley Hall, Staffordshire UK in 1979.
*Thank you, guys, for your performance!*
I found ABBA 2 years ago! I'm 70 years =)
Every ABBA’s song Was AHEAD OF ITS TIME! They’re legendary!❤
that "choir" is actually just the 4 of them harmonizing with themselves! they layered their voices on top of each other
They did a damn good job imitating a church choir. It's definitely not an easy task unless they actually recorded it in a church. Either way, they were extremely talented producers.

AGNETHA's voice is amazing, hitting those high notes. The blending of all the instruments is the Benny and Bjorn's talent of music and lyrics.
Lay All Your Love on Me is one of four ABBA songs to reach number one on a Billboard chart in the U.S. Dancing Queen topped the Hot 100, Fernando and The Winner Takes it All both hit #1 on the Easy Listening/Adult Contemporary chart and Lay All Your Love on Me topped the Dance Chart in 1981.
If memory serves, it was Super Trouper/On and On and On/Lay All Your Love On Me as listed as number 1 on the dance chart that year.
@@mattpsomadakis8159 That's correct.
Finally the ultimate club hit from abba, this is from 1980 the final single release from the super trouper album. It's a shame they didn't film a promotional clip as they did with the first 2 singles from the same album. Agnetha sings the verses, Frida comes in the chorus.. A big club hit in the states back then, reaching number 1 in the billboard hot dance chart.
One of my favourite ABBA dance tunes.
Still holds up today.
Thanks guys.
What a sick bassline. Love it
This is up there with one of my favorite ABBA songs to blast on my car stereo
Amazing track, in the top 5 of all time best disco/hi-nrg dance songs ever, especially the Disconet remix version for clubs. Absolutely out of this world!
FINALLY!!! This is probably my favorite ABBA song, it always gives me goosebumps for some reason. I think it's something about the choir sound that's just so powerful and hypnotic...and I just love the melody and the production is sick! It's such a masterpiece. Please do I'm A Marionette since you said you liked surprises!
1/Jump into a fast car 2/Fasten your sit belt 3/ Get on the highway and accelarate, speeding up to the max and 4/Put this song on to be heard out LOOOUUUD!
From Wikipedia: "Lay All Your Love on Me" is known for a descending vocal sound at the end of the verse immediately preceding the refrain. This was achieved by sending the vocal into a harmoniser device, which was set up to produce a slightly lower-pitched version of the vocal. In turn its output was fed back to its input, thereby continually lowering the pitch of the vocal. Andersson and Ulvaeus felt that the chorus of the song sounded like a hymn, so parts of the vocals in the choruses were run through a vocoder, to recreate the sound of a church congregation singing, slightly out of tune.
Thank you for the explanation! It is definitely one of my top 3 ABBA songs ❤️🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️❤️
It's people like you who make comments so great! 👍
Hi, there guys!
This react was only brought to my attention this week, but you've spotted so many features of this track that I felt almost *morally* compelled to answer a few questions that you raised, from the perspective of someone whose earliest memory was hearing the album it came off (Super Trouper, 1980) being played on vinyl (yep- *that* old😄).
1:56 Correct- that little descending chromatic figure is a palm-muted electric guitar, performed by their session/touring guitarist Lasse Wallender; the guitar arrangement in the verses is essentially two cleanish electric guitars hard-panned left and right, "arguing" with each other, I like to think😁. Very claustrophic-sounding to my ears!
3:10 I learnt a few years back that the vocal pitch-dive effect leading into chorus was 100% sound engineering: it was achieved by sending the (held D) note through an analog tape delay, gradually increasing the delay time, and feeding it back into itself; this has the effect of a portamento pitch-shift downward in frequency. Again, good spot.🙂
5:25 As far as I am aware, all of the synths on this album were performed on keyboardist Benny Andersson's Yamaha GX-1, a prototype synth that cost an absolute bomb and of which there were only ever 100 or so made. (Benny owned two; last I heard, the studio one he used is still there in Polar Studios, Stockholm; there are one or two YT vids knocking about, should you wish to check out this mammoth piece of furniture, organ pedals/ribbon strip and all.😄)
7:09 As others have pointed out, the vocals are made up exclusively of the four band members. Sound engineer Michael Tretow often messed with tape and outrigger mic feeds to fatten up the sound/create all of those subtle, wispy phase effects that was a trademark of their sound. May also be a little bit of vocoding going on... (Late 70s, remember- DSP chorus was still in its infancy, so everything was tape, essentially!)
8:20 The filthiest monosynth solo I've ever heard- deserves to be celebrated more, if not higher up in the mix!😁
10:18 Agnetha sang the verses on this track.
Finally, I discovered recently that this track was not sequenced in any way- hardware sequencers were knocking around in those days, but none were apparently used- it was, according to Benny, just "well played".🤷♂️ (As for DAWs/*software* sequencers/arpeggiators, forget it: MIDI 1.0 hadn't even been invented yet!)
Best wishes from the UK... ✌️🙂
Wow, tnx for that load of infos... Benny and Mike Tretow are brilliant musicians
One part of ABBAs song catalogue most people often forgetting is the AWESOME producer/technician Michael B. Tretow !!! He was given his own Grammy award here in Sweden .. Well deserved I must say !!!
A Masterpiece!
This song hit Nº 1 on the U.S. Dance/Club Chart (Billboard Magazine). This chorus has an "anthem-like" feel to it. ♫♫♫♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪
Ahhh this song is pure gold
A masterpiece in any way. It has all yearning and melancholy feelings in it. Agnetha is at her best in the lead vocal.
I just love watching your ABBA reactions, ABBA was the record I ever owned, the first band I remeber ever loving, as a 3 year old girl I would dance around to sos, and mama Mia.
Perfection…synthesizers
The choir is all the ABBA members singing different melodies and notes layed over the top of the main melody/words. It's how they usually do it! There's some interesting videos breaking down all the aspects that make up some of their songs. Usually it's a lot more complex than it first sounds, but they make it sound so great and coordinated that you don't realise! The voice in this one that was slightly louder as a lead was Agnetha as you said :)) What you often hear is Agnetha and Frida combining together for lead as their famous "3rd lead voice"
You know your stuff 😏
Do you know some good videos that actually break down the process/methods that they used?
@@wiebkke look up 'Bobby's brother '...the guys a genius at analysis of ABBAs songs...he goes through 'voyage 'song by song...
My first impression was octaves, but when I listened again, I realized there's more harmonies. They really know how to arrange music.
Agnetha doing a great job on the lead.
ABBA History
"Lay All Your Love on Me" is an electro-disco song penned by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, with Agnetha Fältskog singing lead. Recording began at Polar Music Studios in Stockholm on 9 September 1980, with the final mix of the song being completed on 10 October 1980.
Next up - Take A Chance On Me!
It amazes me to this day that these Swedish people wrote such good songs in English in the 70's.
I mean, before TV-series was a thing. They learned English in school for sure, and listened to American and British music, but to have such high knowledge of English in Sweden in the 70's must still have been quite rare... :) I think it must be easier to learn now with the access to the internet...
This was huge in the nightclubs around the world.
It actually still is!
The Super trouper Album had a lot of synth stuff as Benny was constantly experimenting with every new whizz bang keyboard that came out. They started to replace a lot of natural instruments with synth sounds and it featured quite heavily on the Super Trouper album at the start of the 80's.
Agnetha sang the verses.
Synths, the jaw dropping chorus, everything in this song is perfect. But, as I know you both pay attention to the production, just try to isolate the bass line. Rutger Gunnarsson was such a key part of the ABBA sound. Sadly, he's no longer with us.
He's my all-time favorite bassist!
The drummer isn't bad either. It often sounds simpler than it really is. Some people think this is a drum machine but they weren't this advanced 45 years ago. Nowadays it can be harder to hear the difference if it's programmed by a good drummer but I see no point in trying to make a machine sound like a human.
There was a great gay club in Boston called Buddies. They used to play this song and the dance floor would go crazy. Great dance tune by ABBA. Good times!!!!
The choir effect is from the layered voices that create the harmonies but also the reverb that you don't see in many other Abba songs.
It's always refreshing to watch you get caught up on ABBA. So genuine. Keep it coming on your journey through Abba's music.
Killer song! No wonder Erasure made a cover of this. Good on its own.
ABBA is wonderful. I love them. You two are wonderful too.
This packed the dance floors in the disco clubs in 1980. Great reaction.

A little history on this song
As "Lay All Your Love on Me" was not intended to be a single, it was not released until 1981, the year after it had been recorded. It was only after a remixed version by Raul A. Rodriguez[5] - (aka C.O.D) of Disconet - had soared in popularity in nightclubs, that it topped the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart (along with "Super Trouper" and "On and on and On").[6] Therefore, the decision was made to release "Lay All Your Love on Me" in limited territories in 12-inch form, as opposed to the standard 7-inch record. It peaked at No. 7 in the UK, becoming ABBA's lowest charting single since "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" in 1975. However, reaching No. 7 in the charts was, at the time, the highest charting position achieved for a 12-inch only release in the UK. "Lay All Your Love on Me" also charted in Ireland (No. 8), Belgium (No. 13) and West Germany (No. 26). As of September 2021, it is ABBA's 17th-biggest song in the UK, including both pure sales and digital streams
It should be noted that Lay All Your Love On Me was the highest selling 12" Single at that time in the UK and Germany and by the time it was released, Super Trouper had already sold 6 Million copies...
In the UK coming up to Christmas 1979 the BBC used it for the countdown to Christmas TV in the background.
Thanks, Marissa! Thanks, Tyler! 💞 #TylerCreatesContent #LayAllYourLoveOnMe #ABBA
GREAT reaction. Look forward to more ABBA reacts.
This is my favorite abba song, too.
the synths at the end are used like lead vocal adlips.. and the main vocals slowly drift into a background choir while the synths takes slowly over.. iconic
Thanks for another super reaction!
I'm waiting for my favorite ABBA reactors to listen to "I AM THE CITY", that song was recorded in 1982 and was meant to be included on their next album which had the working name "Opus 10". But they split the band before the album was finished! But in 1993 it came out, on the compilation album "MORE ABBA GOLD" and it is one of many ABBA favorite songs for me.
To me, this tune is like those beautifully grave choral works you hear around christmas in church, but with some folk music (or jazz, or Bach) improvisations sprinkled on top, by Benny's synths. A pretty swedish kind of mix, I would say, especially since the 1950s. And beneath it all, a heavy groovy disco beat, to make it to the dance floors :)
Every time when this song is played in the Disco Club, people all gone crazy.
I enjoyed watching your reaction. Thank you. ABBA is my favorite band from the 80s.
This is pure POP perfection! It's their greatest dance/non-single track with "If It Wasn't for the Nights" and "Kisses of Fire" rounding out the top 3.
I think these 2 are the most requested from their viewers in that category along with "That's me".
I've always loved this one tooooo
ABBA’s super power: THEIR MELODIES.
They held mastery in the hardest department..
Another ABBA banger, keep up the great reactions!
You guys really know what good music is about. This song and Dancing Queen are with no doubt their greatest achievements just for sheer beauty of melody and composition. Try listening to both of those songs from a high quality streaming service and with a good pair of headphones and you’ll really appreciate them. Please react to “That’s Me”. Take care. ❤️
The Penultimate song from the Super Trouper album, possibly the peak of their creativity. On the album it blends into a live performance of "The Way all friends do", which really is something that can be sung by 1000 people. Agnetha took the lead vocal. As for the synths. I heard this when it first came out, as a 10yr old. Totally blew my mind. It sounded so futuristic and exotic at the time.
You guys rock! Dude, you are “me” way back in 19whatever! I feel old and young now. Keep up the good work!
Such an underrated tune!!
Listen The Piper from the same album
My favourite ABBA song is the one I'm listening to at the time....
That's one thing I've always loved about ABBA... no two of their songs sound alike. And of course, I'll admit readily that I love the movie Mama Mia... the second one... yeah, it's ok, a little more shmaltzy but it's driven by ABBA so it's all good. Even my dad, who was 70 at the time, LOVED the first movie.
Grew up on this song and am so glad that the new generation is also discovering the powerhouse of talent that ABBA was with immortal songs one after the other
Nicely done T&M. I've been listening to this song for over 40 years and you've pointed out things that I'd never noticed before.
This song brought them into the 80s with mostly synth.
Hmm... their live concert in Stockholm in 1981 had a heavier electric guitar sound than ever before from Abba (played by Lasse Wellander and Mats Ronander).
@German Morawski That's the one I was talking about. It was recorded in Stockholm at SVT, Studio 2.
ABBA invented the drop .
... Took you long enough. This is perhaps my favorite tune by ABBA. There were also dance extended remixes, some of which were really good too. Thanks for putting this one up.
Another all time fav............Love it
Awesome reaction! Been waiting for this reaction!! Next up: One of us, Thankyou for the music, take a chance on me,
In terms of Abba universe, this song is underrated. They have so many more popular songs despite this being one of the very best, in my opinion. It only reached number 68 in Sweden. 😳 And let's not forget that Sweden is... SMALL. It's not that much competition. 😅
Reached top 10 in UK and was only released as a 12".
It wasn't as highly placed in Germany either and yet it's one of the ABBA songs that I feel like gets played most on radio or TV here nowadays. Everyone knows it. I had no idea it wasn't as popular 😧
@@Gaish Maybe the Mamma Mia musical made it more famous?
@@josefinelagerstrom2643 True, didn't think about that! 😁 I always forget about the musical lol
p.s. it proved to be the biggest 12 inch seller ever in that format in the UK. btw
I have been waiting for this reaction. Finally! What an epic discosong this is and when you listen with better sound than this with headphones its magic.
Next ABBA? Maybe the song - If it wasn´t for the night and it should be reaction to the video from a Japan tv-show :)
I'm with you.Japan tv show on this, is a popular fan fave and a rather official video with both girls looking very sexy n gorgeous shiny outfits!
Stunning song! This was also featured in the first Mama Mia Movie ❤
In u.k. this single was double a side with " on and on and on " & was highest chart position at number 7 . For 12inch release only. In UK chart history.. lay all your love on me ...fab dance floor track.. keep it up guys .. love respect regards mickee London u.k.
Yes, you'll always have surprises during the series of transition.
LOVE,LOVE,LOVE This song thanks! ABBA was and is still the BEST!
React on ABBA song "On and On and On keep on rocking till the night is gone
They're gonna love this for sure!.
Great reaction. 😃 I think it’s time for „Summer night city“.
Great song that is covered fantastically by Erasure and Information Society. Both are 80’s Synthpop bands. You should listen to both.
One of my favorites
Great stuff. May I recommend Abba's anti-war song "Soldiers" for a reaction some day? You're gonna love the rhythms and melodies. It's a gem!
This song is a jewel! 🥰
This is an oldie, "Nina Pretty Ballerina." Would like to see you react to it.
Wooow Agnetha ist brilliant ❣️♥️♥️
Just type in 'choir singing lay all your love on me' into the RUclips 🔎 and you'll see a pop up choir sings this song really well.
This is my go to song for when I have a joint best song
Songs by ABBA I think y'all need to review: Under Attack, I Am Just a Girl, The Way Old Friends Do, That's Me, I've Been Waiting for You, Elaine and I Wonder (Departure).
"I wonder" is a wonderful sophisticated one but kinda "difficult" for a youngsters ears imo but all others yes! .And i'm so glad you mentioned IJAG.Very underrated early stuff i luv it!
For me it's the music of my parents. At times, at much later age, I hear their music by chance... happened with this song. And I love it.
Yep fantastic ABBA is one in a million never be any group like them .
This song is an anthem
Please react to a solo song by ABBA Member Frida. The song is called "I know there’s something going on".
PLEASE REACT TO ABBA - Thats me = WORLDCLASS
Fantastic song/Fantabbaulous video clip.Springtime bliss!B' side to the DancingQueen single btw.
One of the greatest songs....should have been a single...
Love your reactions
Streching the voice effect before chorus is done by circulating the voice (according Benny).
This and a certain something as a nightcap in the late 80s was something
Yes. It have a sound of swedish hymne so correct you feel like its something that could be played in a church
Try listen to their live "Gammal Fadbodpsalm" world tour opening track.A synth church hymn.Just Breathtaking.
@@alexioverdo5225 Gammal fäbodpsalm is not written by Björn and Benny. Its an old swedish folk song and hymn they just choose to use at concerts. You can find many versions of it on youtube
@@fredrikmoller629oh yes of course i knew it's a traditional Swedish anthem.I feel Benny "used" it very cleverly as an intro to kinda praise the country he was born and show us his musical backround its magic.Thanks Fredrik.
@@alexioverdo5225 I agree. It shows the connection between his music and the music tradition in Sweden. Very clever. But he is a genius so.. 👍🏼
Please react to "Bang A Boomerang" !!! by ABBA
HEAD OVER HEELS BY ABBA PLEASEEEE
Agnetha sang the verses but it was layered as they often did with the lead vocals, and back then it was much harder to edit and master that kind of mixing with a song, it all had to physically be done, hence why it took so long to release albums back then, and that Benny and Bjorn were perfectionists about anything that went on an album.
Este tema está en Miles d videos en tik tok en videos sobre las guerras mundiales
I love this song. If you really want an Abba -surprise, try I`m a marionette from The Album.
IT ROCKS ! X X X X .
The chord progression in this song is absolutely amazing, minors and majors everywhere.
Simply ABBA.
Love your reactions to Abba. Mainly because I love Abba. Have you reacted to ‘as good as new’?
not yet but we (or i) will :)
Music from heaven
This is basicly like a Bach tune with a disco beat.
