AHA THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS ALBUM VERSION

[azerovc]

Duran Duran made a better job with A View To A Kill. Too much of Aaaa-aaa-aaaa-aaaah I guess, like there wasn't anything else they could think of. I liked it as a kid but today it does not convince me anymore in a musical manner. I also prefer the movie version, this one always sounded too artificial, like a soup from a bag.

[dayargrosario]

@azerovc i used to think the other way round,but i changed my opinion beacuse in fact the parts wich are not ohhhh-oooooh are more mature here than in a view to a kill in my opinion,the other seems more cheesy..meeting you with a view to a kill? dance into the fire? ..and the ohh-ooooo give to the song a sort of tension mixed with the lyrics.but the good thing with this version in contrast with the one in the movie is that you can hear better morten vocals..

[cornjake88]

The single from the film is better than this electronic mix. Barry added alot of great stuff and actually sounded like a Bond film. This is rather like something to be found in a McClory remake of Thunderball....

[greyztone]

Hmm, the drums on this version are really dull. Sound like a quickly chosen drum loop on a keyboard. Good vox tho.

[ThinkMcFlyThink3]

IMO, this version is better than the single version from the film, but the 12 inch mix of the film version is smoother and jazzier with a killer bass line, guitars and strings in the instrumental break and the ending :)

[firestarter199515]

I love this song, this is a truly epic song from the 80's

[johnjnukemsheridan]

Great post :)

[fedewesker]

exelente tema y el mejor grupo lejooooooos :)

[boudebond]

The movie version is less commercial(it has actual real instruments).The drum and base lines are uncomparable.This movie just has better vocals.

[ItsVince72592]

Great song for a great Bond film!

[RetroJenny]

I like this version better. Awesome song and one of my favorite Bond movies.

[contacte10]

nostalgic.....

[xxxdarkheartedboixxx]

they played this on eastenders the other day in the vic :)

[DeloreandudeTommy]

This is even better than the original! This is one of my favorite James Bond intro songs (the others being the one for Goldeneye, the one for License to Kill and the one for Tomorrow Never Dies).

[penfbi]

Great Song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bl4nkd4hli4]

This song has always made me think of a woman I've always wanted to know since childhood...she has no name...no known records...she constantly eludes me with her smiling face being the last thing I see before awaking...

[JayGOS117]

I luv this tune, when Morten sings 'Come the mornin' and the headlights fade away'

One of the most spellbinding hooks EVER.

I think that this was a bond tune diminishes how damn good a pop song this is.

I'm gonna play it again.

[trizack]

Just to let everyone know today A-ha plays their last concert before they split..Its been a good run =(

[anikid0392]

@trizack Yeah...they were awesome. Sad to hear that.

[trizack]

@levitabusman In ahnulds famous words, "CMON DONT BULLSHIT ME"

[mamaluigito]

@levitabusman they were famous before Bond, the studio chose them to do the song because they were popular

[AnimeManiac89]

@levitabusman

lol really? what about their other hits that werent on Bond movies? ur talkin lot of shit there :P

[sediments]

@levitabusman It is more probable that that crap Bond movie got famous because of this song.

[halodystroyer44]

@sediments ya....i doubt that

[johnjnukemsheridan]

@levitabusman If you're gonna go round telling people to shut the "fock" up, at least be sure your argument is based in reality and factually correct. They were WAAAAAAAYYYYYY famous before the movie. I know. I was there. And YOU clearly "care" because you left your comment lol

[3anaurv2]

@levitabusman of course not they were so big it was a real phenomena, they had so many hits, there's no much band now that have so much good song on one album they are very few.

[strangerinwhite]

@trizack :(

[Minorellen]

This one better :)

[metalgearsolid418]

Essa é a melhor versão que existe dessa maravilhosa música dessa banda fantástica chamada A-ha.

[prestescorrea]

Puxa, nunca ouvi essa versão antes. Boa mesmo...uma das melhores trilhas de filme que já escutei.

[realtoyz13]

@TyZCN90 you should ;)

[realmofjohn]

This versions vocals and the movie versions music would become the perfect living daylights!

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

Why did they change it for the film?

[Synthpopalooza]

@NotOrdinaryInGames This version was actually recorded a year after the film came out, for their album "Stay on these Roads" which came out in 1988. For their album, they preferred to rework the original track they recorded for the Bond film, with new instrumentation and new vocals. I quite like it better.

[TheZaius]

According to Wikipedia, the band actually prefers this version to the original version played in the movie.

Fools... I mean, it's not entirely bad... but still, fools...

[xtimsah]

beautifull , ı remember the 80 ' s .. thanks a lot

[Nigelene]

GORGEOUS!!!:D

[Lucas311Revival]

Vocally superior on this version... but the Berry arrangements on the film version make it sound so much grander, while this one sounds a bit outdated and weak in some moments. I opt for the soundtrack cut.

[hbotis]

@Lucas311Revival This version is weak-- overall the vocals and the mix are flat.

[KaitainCPS]

@Lucas311Revival

I agree.

[lordamiba101]

Don't like this version it sounds like a demo.

[tomtom77470]

Great version with accoustics. Bring it on :-aha )

[Ragitsu]

I like both versions as well.

[tomtom77470]

Very good version.

[trizack]

I ike both versions

[kabsther]

I remember when the movie was released I liked this version but when I heard the movie version with the arranges of Jhon Barry I changed my mind...

[natalialorena33]

this version is excellent

[SodoMojo22]

This version is my favorite...grew up on it. Classic in my book and nostalgic everytime I hear it. THANK YOU very much for posting this.

[Hacker73]

EVEN BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL VERSION!

A-HA OVERTHROWN THEMSELVES.

HAHA GREAT!

THIS must be the Official Version to the Movie.

1000 X BETTER!

[80smusicfanNO1]

@Hacker73

Its not 1000 times better, don't go overboard.

I still prefer the original version, it just has so much more musical depth and emotion/

[tryffel8]

@80smusicfanNO1 no bullshit. This version is a lot better. A lot more power in the chorus where you actully hear mortens voice. This has soul and a better vocal performence.

[80smusicfanNO1]

@tryffel8

Music is more about just vocals for me, that's why I'm a fan of a-ha in the first place.

Great instrumentation is just as important to me, and its hard to beat the depth of the Living Daylights original version.

[trizack]

no problem and US Fans I heard a-ha is releasing US tour dates next week.plz come to California!!

[ta19na93ka]

Thank you for uploading this.

I didn't know this version.

so I'm glad to know this.
