FIRST TIME HEARING | Missioned Souls | Fernando (ABBA Cover) #musicreaction

Can you hear the drums, Fernando? I remember long of a starry night like this. Hi, I'm Brad. I'm John. Okay. We're gonna do some Mission Souls. Must be Monday. Yes. Although, this last Friday, 21st, I think? 21st? Yes. Ice, Isaiah, turned 12. Well, only one more year left. Yes. Before the teen year hits. Yes. Well, this is his last year until he becomes a teenager. Yes. I mean, only one more year left. Yes. So, yes. This time next year, he'll be a teenager. It's all downhill after that. Yes. Exactly. But, the one we're doing is another older one from them. He was actually 10 when they did this, so. Two years ago. Well, not necessarily. No, he could have been a month from his last birthday. I didn't pay attention to when it was. They're covering Abba's version of Fernando. I was making sure it wasn't one of the cats. Anyway. So, I say Abba's version because Fernando was originally recorded in Swedish by, well, a member of Abba, written also by Abba, or Frida. So, she recorded it for her second studio album in 1975. So, that was the Swedish version. In March of 1976, Abba released the English version of it, obviously from all four of them. Both of them actually were successful in their own right, weirdly enough. The Swedish version spent nine weeks at the top of the charts. Who would have thought? And the English version, well, became one of their best-selling hits of all time. It's actually one of my favorite Abba songs as well, strangely enough. In 1976 alone, it sold six million copies. That's significant. It's actually one of less than 40 singles that have actually sold at least 10 million physical copies worldwide. That's for a single that was released in the 70s. And that's physical copies too. It doesn't include digital copies that people still buy today or anything like that. So, it's kind of like, ugh. You got something good when you got those numbers. Yes. All right, ready? Mm-hmm. All right. Blah, blah, blah. Exactly. Before we get going, make sure you hit that like and subscribe. Check out the description down below. You're going to find all our links, information, and stuff that we have down there. Okay. We'll show it to you. I was so afraid, Fernando. We're young and full of life and none of us prepared to die. And what a shame to see the roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry. There was something in the air that night. The stars were bright, Fernando. Horses. I don't know. I don't know why it's one of my favorite ABBA songs either. It just is one of my favorite ABBA songs. Yeah. Well, it's just fun. Yeah, it is. It's a fun song. It's got a good rhythm and just, I don't know. Good rhythm, good melody. Yeah. And some lyrics you can sing along to the chorus. Yep. Honestly, I think I prefer it to Waterloo, actually. Which is probably the most famous. I don't know. I guess it depends. Depends on what mood you're in, really. But then, actually, they have it. It's all enjoyable. Yeah. There was something in the air that night. The stars were bright, Fernando. They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando. Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret. If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando. Now we're old and gay, Fernando. Since many years, I haven't seen a rifle in your hand. Can you hear the drums, Fernando? Do you still recall the faith tonight we crossed the Rio Grande? I can see it in your eyes, how proud you were to fight for freedom in this land. There was something in the air that night. The stars were bright, Fernando. YouTube pause, again. I like the little zoom in on the ice there. Yeah. Just wiggling in his chair going, is it me yet? Is it me yet? See, it is. They have fun doing what they're doing, right? It's not just playing for money, et cetera. They're actually up there having fun. Yeah, they're enjoying themselves. Like I said, just by his actions, you can tell. There was something in the air that night. The stars were bright, Fernando. There was shining there for you and me. For liberty, Fernando. No, we never thought that we could lose. There's no regret. If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando. There was something in the air that night. The stars were bright, Fernando. There was shining there for you and me. For liberty, Fernando. No, we never thought that we could lose. There's no regret. If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando. Yes, if I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando. Yeah, it is. It's just, you know, they're wanting to just look forward to watching their videos and listening to them. Yeah, and it's a pleasure to watch them. Yeah. In part because you can tell they're having fun doing what they're doing. Right. They also can, you know, play their instruments and sing and, you know, all the minor details as well. But yeah, you know, it is. It's like, almost like that's kind of secondary just to the fact that, you know, they're having so much fun doing what they're doing. Right. Yeah. Yeah, that was enjoyable. I liked it. A good song. Yeah. And since I actually did forget to mention it, Stacey, the lead singer on that, was 11 when she did that one. I think 11 years singing like that. Yeah. Or playing guitar or bass or keyboard, drums. Well, the dad played the bass, so he's got an excuse. He's old enough to be playing. Yeah. Yeah, well, we're definitely going to continue reacting to them. So if you want to see those, make sure you hit that like and subscribe. Please comment suggestions down below.
