With all the great songs on their debut, each one a gem -- gems that I listen to a lot -- I still find that I listen to "Blue Sky" the most. It's perfectly short and doesn't overstay its welcome. Anyone who's felt rejected and/or lonely can find feel the sentiment in this song. I can readily see the lyric's imagery in my minds. A truly underrecognized gem.
Hungting High and Low is one of the greatest albums in the music industry. A- ha is amazing. This song blue-sky clearly shows this band is an absolute genius. How anybody can capture "blue-sky" as a song like this??
love the album not a bad song on it ............45 now but in my 20s when first heard this song feels like yesterday I know that sounds corny but thats the truth when u c the xfactor and compare some of the 80s bands to todays offerings like night and day
There were few albums that had every single song a GREAT song. This, was one of them. The only other one's I can remember from the same time frame, where "every single song" was awesome is Duran Duran: Arena, and , uhmm, well wait, that's about it..... ;)
So funny: a-ha declared that the first version of Blue Sky contained the verse "I'm dying for a cigarette in the coffee shop" instead of "I'm trying to be different in the coffee shop", but changed for "health" reasons! :))
@pselodux The cool thing about A-HA, is that, they're one of the few bands in the history of music, that nobody has anything bad to say about them...their music just takes you to that "special place", I don't know where that "place" is, but it is truly special...
My favourite on this album. I learnt the lyrics by ear when I was 14 and did not speak a word of English yet. Later found out that it wasn't that bad ! Heard it live for the first time on the last ever a-ha concert I attended - Royal Albert Hall 08.10.2010 Morten messed up the lyrics as usual, which made it even better! :-)
Trip down memory lane and good memories too. Such a good band and wrote some very good songs which sound as good as they did back in 1985, not many bands can do this....
@artemis219 I share your sentiments...I was seven years old back in 1985, and it was truly a nostalgic and peaceful, time to be a child, unlike the chaos and confusion that is plaguing the world today...nowadays, children simply don't have what was once called, a "childhood", because they're constantly being fed negativity via the movies, music, television, mainly the local and national news...children are supposed to have a childhood...and the media doesn't give a shit about that simple fact...
@parmavioletsyum watched both these bands (i.e. duran duran and a-ha) in concert within the last year. A-ha's performance was like nothing I have attended in a while - especially the performance of "bandstand". I must have been one of the youngest people in audience. Well, the friend that joined me was three years younger. I doubt there was anyone younger to her in the audience. Duran Duran and a-ha actually got better after the 80s - sadly, the media will always tie them to the 80s.
Can someone help me with the story behind this song? I was told it was written about a place called Blue Sky Cafe in West End London. When I was there back in '89, I snapped a photo of what I thought was this song's namesake. The photo turned out bad (bad flash, gloomy evening). Now when I try to look up this place online over 20 years later, I find nothing. Does anyone know anything about this place, or if it has anything to do with this song?
oh que linda música vai para a porra quem não gosta do a-há venderam mais de 30 milhões de discos são incríveis tem uma carreira explêndida são perfeitos compositores eu adoro e quem odeia existe um troço chamado caralho para enfiar no cú até sair pela boca.
al parecer no hay una decente version de este cancionazo en YT , asi k más keda votar x ese, para mi la mejor canción de A-HA de sus tiempos, además mucho más alla de una mayoría de 80's Destellos . . todo el album una bendición y una grandiosa producción con un espírito fresco incomparable . . uno de los mejores de sus tiempos, y grabado en los que lo escucharon, placenteramente eterno . . =)
@waffenss250, ES UNA MIERDA DE VIDEO LO KE MANDAS MARICON..EL COLOR DEL PAPEL SANITARIO PARA LIMPIARME EL CULO Y LOS MECOS KE LE AVIENTO EN LA CARA A TU PERRA PUTA MADRE ES COLOR BLANCO EN HONOR A USTEDES, LOS RACITAS DE MIERDA, ME LOS PASO POR LOS WEBOS..¿QUE OPINAS MARICON HIJO DE MIL PUTAS..? JAJAJAJJA FRESERO JOTO, ESA MUSICA NO ES ESPAÑOLA, JAJAJ TU ESCUCHAS A PLACIDO DOMINGO..AJAJAJJAJ PEDAZO DE JOTO, JEJEJE
I Love this song so much. It's my favourite from the Hunting High and Low album. It takes me back to being 15 and being totally in love with Morten Harket!!
Blue Sky and Living A Boys Adventure Tale should have been number 1 hits .
