[davef66video]

Thanks scousersmate. I'm looking to perform this and probably either "Cry Wolf" or "Living Daylights" at a karaoke this Saturday night. I'm really looking forward to it. If you're likely to be in the area (or anyone else who likes A-ha's music), please feel free to inbox me and I'll let you have some details.

the 21 i have beat one times in my life... =) congratz!

[666Rattie]

Wow... i can´t say anything... but one... very beatyfull voice!!!!!

[davef66video]

Aww, thank you!

[Svartjarl]

Really nice. My congratz.

Would you tell me where your falsetto begins? I mean your voice range. I desperately try to catch the moment where Morten starts singing in falsetto.

[davef66video]

Thank you. The point of falsetto overlaps at least an octave of the normal range. On “Summer Moved On” , the top notes in the chorus “Stay, don’t” are B & A which I sing in falsetto. I’m not sure if Morton sings the second note of that in falsetto but I personally find it more comfortable. Those are the only notes in “Summer Moved On” which are sang in falsetto. I can sustain the same B in normal range if I sing U2's Pride, which is also Morton’s top note in Hunting High and Low.

how lovely voice! congratulations from Greece! :)

[Tschiyeah]

kinda quiet... despite that good one!

[WlaZero]

WOW

Very very nice

the long note was cool

:D

[FridayNightLullaby]

Well done, you really have Morten Harket's style down. Check out my cover of the same song.

[davef66video]

Thank you. I had originally hoped to perform this song with a band at a church event but that fell through as it was felt that the lyrics wouldn't suit such an event. I'd love to get a band together doing A-ha tracks as I really enjoy singing in that style. I was very impressed with your cover of the song and the work you've put into the production.

holy crap amazing note held at 2:56!

[TheMorseguy]

great job dave,love the falsetto.....hasnt changed a bit.andy mellor x

[davef66video]

Thanks Andy. Guess what? It's been 16 years since we were working together in the studio. We should meet up sometime and catch up.

[WutheringHeightWoman]

Don't know why Your voice is so "hidden" ? But it was good, I dare to say. Congratulations for holding "Morten's longest note ever" as long as him !

[davef66video]

Thank you. I guess that what you mean by "hidden" is that it sounds lower in volume in certain places. The reason is that I didn't use a vocal compressor which would normally be used on recordings (or live) to make the levels more even. In this case, I wanted to try with minimum studio gear although there's a touch of reverb on the vocal. If I'm being pedantic, the long note here is roughly 0.8 secs longer as I omitted the breath Morton takes before the next high note - total breath 24 secs.

[MrFosh]

Sounds great Dave! Can't believe you can reach those high notes and hold them for so long!

Excellent!! Si.

[davef66video]

Thank you :-)

[tashyrito]

muy buen trabajo amigo, soy de Mèxico y tambien soy fanatico de A Ha, si me pudieras enviar esta pista seria fabuloso, o si la pudieras subir al you tube para compartirla con demas personas admiradores del grupo. gracias, buena modulacion de voz y muy buenos agudos, wow!! 20 segundos grandioso, sigue adelante con tu talento. gracias.

[davef66video]

Thank you. I'm not sure if it's lost in the translation (via google) as I'm not sure what you mean by sharing the track with other fans of aha as surely they all have access to it anyway on here.

Gracias. No estoy seguro si se pierde en la traducción (a través de google), ya que no estoy seguro de lo que entendemos por participación en la pista con otros fans de aha como seguramente todos tienen acceso a él de todos modos aquí.
