Like An Angel Passing Through My Room is my favourite of all ABBA's songs. Like Carpenters' Eve, or the Ronstadt/Riddle version of Monk's Round Midnight, melancholy and haunting almost to the point of being funereal...

Frida sings so wonderfully, with tenderness and strength! Here proves that Abba not only makes pop songs but also masters musicals. Benny and Björn have made the musical Chess, which has been played in several countries. And absolutely fantastic "Kristina from Duvemåla" with lots of wonderful songs! ❤️⭐⭐👍🙏👑

This feels to me more of a Frida/Benny song, I love it, from their mature phase. Agnetha and Frida were two of the best singers ever to grace the pop stage, I'm still not sure their skills are fully appreciated, but this is one of the songs that shows them off to their best. You can definitely hear Benny toying with the musicals genre here, thinking ahead perhaps...

Meanwhile we all get to hear the music of ABBA and the magnificent voice of Frida and the beautiful harmony of Agnetha. And what about that arrangement? Bravo to you and ABBA,

I am always a bit intimidated when someone suggests this song for reaction cause it's far and away from the familiar catchy Abba sound for the masses, meaning it's not an instant catcher especially for young reactors. This is a 'peculiar' grower.Personally when i first heard it in my very early teens i couldn't get this.But on my growing older time proved to me what a specialty is this recording and i'm so satisfied that our friend here appreciated it.

@@christianoazzuro6711 MY weird silly troubled mind keeps me away from Chase Vickerss as long as he doesn't create a balance between Agnetha and Frida leads. That might sound narrow-minded but I can't change it. 🤷♀ Already 14 Agnetha leads but only 6 Frida leads in 36 reactions. He still hasn't done the big songs like KMKY, IHAD, WAISAD or ISHFIY but King Kong Song... So I rather prefer 'Rock my Bean' who go through their catalogue in chronological order.

Frida was unbeatable in the 80s. Her solo work after ABBA is so experimental and exciting, and her vocal capacity and versality enormous. I wish she had continued to record all through the decade. She was amazing in the 70s, but rose above all in the 80s.

KZitem recommended for me this song reaction, so I'm coming across your channel for the first time today. Keep up and on with your effort. I let the music speak is very beautiful, it's poetry sung by Frida to her best. Rich in imagery, metaphor and attempt to set a pace ahead of the ordinary pop music.

Amazing sound blizzard. Rather "cold", "winter" song. Everything is so icy and cristall. Everything is blu, pink, purple and violet. Some Night Before Christmas ( by classic russian wrighter Nicolay Gogol I mean, I wish you watched the movie of 60s). This is the song I heard when I was about 15. Four years after it was released. And since then I think this is the most complicated, the most whimsical and one of the most beautiful songs of ABBA. There are two more pieces that come to mind to be interesting musically, but they are not by ABBA but by Bijorn and Benny from their "Chess" musical. They are "One night in Bangkok" and the wals."Where I Wanna Be". 💓👏👏👏

It probably contradicts most of the opinions, but I will respectfully express my feelings. And I am going to repeat myself in something that I said "I let the music speak" (1981) It also leaves me with mixed feelings And first of all I want to make it clear that Frida's vocal performance as the main voice is outstanding, and the choirs are very well elaborated. But the song itself, although it's very good, doesn't end up closing me like others It's like there are parts that I like and others that I don't. (and what I think is 7pts) Perhaps two comparisons come to mind: One with the 'mini musical' included in "The Album" which for me is incredible and fascinating in its three songs: Thank you for the music / I wonder / I'm a marionette I like "I let the music speak" , but doesn't fascinate me And the other with "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen which also seems to me superior and more cohesive at this point Björn and Benny were with the advanced idea of making a musical and not with their partners Frida and Agnetha And this is a preview of what would come in his future creations outside of ABBA.(with Tim Race, later) perhaps the error is mine to resemble "I let the music speak" to both ABBA's mini musical and Queen's smash hit I am also talking about a very good song, where I think the vocals surpass the music But in the high catalog of ABBA it does not enter my Top25, maybe could be enter (or not) in my Top50 If you like to explore another underrated ABBA song my suggestion is to "Move on" (1977) in the masterpiece of versatility "ABBA The Album" as always, I enjoy your reactions your kindness and musical opening I leave you a big hugh from Buenos Aires, Argentina South America

Frida's voice is perfect for these operatic songs. I think Agnetha has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard but Frida isn't far behind. Most bands don't have one singer who can sing like this and ABBA had two, it's almost unfair lol.
