a-ha - Foot Of The Mountain

[alessya87]

Please come back, I've never been to one of your concerts :'((...

[89sweetsweet]

17 years old and love this type of music much more than contemporary music such as grime and drum and bass (although i do like some of that stuff). When I'm a dad, I will do my best to show my kids this music to keep it alive in future generations.

[dayargrosario]

@89sweetsweet agree im planing to do the same with my future kids too,im 20...but you say you like it more than contemporany music,in fact this is contemporany,the album was realized in 2009 but it still has the beauty of the past music!

[Rupture52]

pure class ! compiments of great britain !!!

[Silverbirch4444]

Absolutely LOVE this album. AHA at their very best!

[ImGonnaShout2000]

All songs that I have heard by A-ha, are ones I heard on the radio. But I don't listen much to the radio, so I never knew who was playing that awsome song. I think A-ha is a great band. And I'm a real metal head.

[michaelclark09]

I'm 17, and I'm eternally grateful that my dad introduced me to A-ha 5 years ago :D

[Kmoura70]

Beautiful music! My heart is broken by the end of the band! So I did a tribute to them and their fans on my channel. I am happy to share.

[MegaTrainspotter]

make music free for everyone? the genie has now left the bottle?let bands make from live tours?

[diiiiiiiinamite]

This is an absolute classic. Well done aha and thankyou for never forgetting your uk fan base. Good luck for whatever your choose to do in the future and thank you so much for all the glorious music...

[alyd71]

Love this song, looking forward to the concert in Nov :0) , finally getting to see them after 25yrs, just gutted they are splitting up. :0(

[Liruzhen]

I absolutely LOVE A-ha. I have been listening to them since 1985, when I was 26 years old. I am 51 now,and I love A-ha more than ever. They are my favorite band.

[allieooop123]

I just saw a-ha in their final farewell concert in chicago...i have never seen them before and they were absolutely amazing! i would do anything to see them again! and this song played and i fell in love with it! and i love that morten hits every single note!(:

[getzippy]

[montse1350]

[SuperDvd100]

Coldplay and Keane are influenced by a-ha not the contrary! a-ha are the only one the others no for me! by Sarah the a-has forever!

[cryz1000]

Coldplay-Sound

[retsiembrU]

Keane?

you cant compare a-ha with Keane

[Arielmarcosm]

[MrScrob]

I Love this Song! I will go to one of the last concerts of them..

[sph005]

love it!

[zap654]

A-ha is so much better than keane

[therolerRH]

both are great, let's fix that ..

earlier songs sounded completely different !

though this may be influenced by Keane, i think it's great =))

[Gutesherz]

A-ha had success before Keane is born

A-ha is the best band of the world

what a pity that a-ha will be the end of 2010 separate:(

[OldSko0l70]

Why is it a shame havn't they been singing for like 30yrs it's time they seperate they can't keep doing this forever

[1Atomtan]

@Gutesherz Still hating that I missed that tour. Never saw them live. One of the best pop bands ever.

[pancakesniffer]

aha are still so good mortons voice takes me back to when i was 14 & everything was easy !!

[Wolfsblut51015]

how old are you now??

[Lynchylegend]

[MadisonRvrGurl1]

My oh my, my boobs are so wet from the shower I just took oh lord!

[MisterScientist]

Have you considered a towel?

[paalan445]

you are probably a dude

[gcoll75]

Very reminiscent of their earlier album tracks such as love is reason

[787dreamlinerBoeing]

Great song! I really like it!

Greetings from Germany (Düsseldorf)

[2URBO2]

A great man of Norway.

[unusualsuspect71]

Sounds like Keane!!

[genuinemuse]

Ah bless you, Keane have always been likened to A-ha, A-ha have been around for more than 25 years.

[unusualsuspect71]

This sounds like Keane, A-ha have been around for 25 years but I cant think of any Keane songs that sound like A-ha. This song is definately influenced by Keane.

[hundiina]

Actually I agree there is something Kean´y about it, but so what boath Kean and A-ha are great, so two for one price :D

[TheweeStevoshow]

Das is ein super song by the way man!!!

[blackmirror530]

Deutsch/German: Das is ein super song!

English/Englisch: It's a very very very very ver very very very ver very good song!

[britbomb]

Thanks Pranavc for the info.....though I had to have the real thing in my hands!

Can't rave enough about it.......well worth the wait!

[featherpaws]

As always AHA's music is timeless.Love these guys.

[coolhellu]

Great!

[alfayyo]

bueniiiiissssimooooo

[ahafan64]

Why doesn't VH1 Classic not promo A-ha new CD like they do for Judas Priest, AC-DC, etc? Theyre CD would do even better.

[uujdjhdjeudhjjshjeh]

The album is now number 11 in the Bilboard list for total sales in Europe!! The album is amazing

[tupolev74]

Who wrote the lyrics and / or music??

[Cta2006]

a-ha enters the UK album chart at # 5

[jensenacklesfanhotty]

a-ha love there older songs better. But still it is good.

[EVERgirlii]

der anfanq iist einbisschen trauriiq

[anueKa13]

my sister loves it :D

she`s only 6 but she knows the song better than me.

[MegaFincher]

one of the best pop albums ever made!!

[netgeekishere]

I think it's their most boring album, no real highlight songs. Go check out This Alone is Love (the album version, not the demo on Youtube), go check out the song East Of The Sun, West Of The Moon. That's the real a-ha, not the bland stuff on their new album. :(

[getzippy]

I second that, Netgeekishere.

FOTM number 81 in singles chart - why? Because it is vastly inferior to the single Analogue.

Zip

[uni4mIam]

er.. the release proper was less than a week ago, so wait and see

[getzippy]

OK, but do you feel this is a strong single?

Zip

[uni4mIam]

haha.. no..

only the first 16 seconds

[tomialpha]

Yes, this is a very srtong single.

[MegaFincher]

a-has ninth studio album Foot Of The Mountain, which is currently at number two in the midweek UK charts.

[LeftHandedGun08]

I bought this album today! & as a person who has listened to a-ha since i was 17 & now 41.All negative comments just roll dowm my sleeve & drip on the floor,Evaporate.This album connects with me......:-) Paul Wakktaar-Savoy & Magne f,Bring the best out of M Harket.Enjoy 1 & all.

[uujdjhdjeudhjjshjeh]

I aggre - just read that a-ha probably will reach number 1 og 2 on the album charts in UK next sunday :) GO a-ha , this albums rocks.

[calmster]

Spot on, any a-ha fan since 85 would agree,i continued buying their music long after they were popular in the uk and the new album is fantastic to my ears and i LOVE a-ha.

[nicolenecessary]

I love this song :) it's always on repeaat <3

[jag81uk]

matt there crap or the singer, so why are u comparing them to a-ha.

[davlaur]

Love this song, Much better than the crap Britain is producing.

[jag81uk]

song is really catch wouldnt say its the best butg its quality, a-ha have never sang i bad song.

[magicmummy07]

yep i agree well except the wired video of velvet, lol its not what you would think it should be when you listen to just the music on its own

[ambulanse123]

This is the best song made of a-ha ever!!!!

[jag81uk]

ma1979tt, did u just say that morrisey are better than a-ha, are u having a laugh morrisey are shit, a-ha are class mate. A-HA are back and ill be there to watch them in nov in birmingham

[saintcanito]

im so happy with a-ha right now. I've listened to them since the 80's when i was a little boy and imo they did the best music back then. Now they have finally gone back to that sound and it's only fair to say it's epic and a dream come true

[00002653701]

sounds like morrisseys solo stuff , good song

[ald126]

Mate A-ha are massive in Scandinavia. If you think that they're not worthy to be mentioned in the same sentence as Morrissey you're sadly mistaken. If you don't like it that's fair enough, but how about leave this space for fans to comment. You didn't even have to come onto this page.

[siramour]

Morten and Morrissey were actually mates...blah to u.

[Robowinki]

1* and never more

[RelaxianosTV]

coldplay is a shit, you can't compare them

5/5

[agaen96]

Coldplay and 1 another that i cant remember is both inspired på A-HA, so that is why it reminds of Coldplay. But A-HA is Norwegian and Coldplay is English:P

NORWAY:D

[Cr00xY]

and still non-English bands have much better English language than English ones.

you know its sad but true :)

[oceangroupdubreturns]

yup our artists are shit.

[futuramaslurm]

wheee, finally! I've listend to their music since the 80s and love them! oui, they do sound a bit like coldplay, that's because they are an inspiration for coldplay, not the other way round ^ ^

merci & bisoux for this wonderful comeback to a-ha ^ ^

[ibaf1997]

Des lied is so geil!!!!

[violetannie]

Who cares if it does sound a teeny bit like Coldplay. (Although I would never have thought that if I hadn't read it here.) It's a lovely song .

[getzippy]

Just because A-ha were created before Coldplay why the hell does that mean a-ha could not sound like Coldplay? Think about it FFS.

This tune is one of their worst ever and very disappointing after Analogue. Analogue was a far stronger single...we shall see if FOTM charts in the UK.

And peeps are fully entitled to express their likes and dislikes on here so live with it.

Zip

[crawstorne]

I heard this song last night on the radio for the first time but the DJ didn't say who it was, AHA came to mind immediately, Coldplay didn't even cross my mind. It sounds 100% AHA, and obviously sounds like Coldplay to those who are not already familiar with AHA's music, a younger generation perhaps.

[crawstorne]

Just confirmed on Wiki that Coldplay's music is influenced by AHA and they have played AHA's "Hunting High & Low" at their own concerts. Interesting.

[shapein]

"A-ha sounds very Coldplay"?

Kids: is the other way around.

A-ha was already famous when the Coldplay musicians were in elementary school.

[Helox123456789]

Haha. If you don't like the new album to A-ha you can just listen to something else or shut up. Don't write alot of bullshit on Youtube. "The new album suck." "They need to stop socialising with Coldplay." Bla bla bla. Just shut up and listen to the music damnit... -.-

[delfinium08]

Kjempefin sang! Det var en fin comeback :)

[michaelman311]

I like the song; I have never been into A-ha. However, it sounds very Coldplay.

[fstollin]

official song of the iaaf-athletics-world championships 2009..

[edstone1]

Riding the crest would be a better song for it I think

[rockbalboaXD]

i love it not better than living daylights or analoge thou

[fullimmerzion]

Their worst album since the creativity born in 1993 with "Memorial Beach". I loved "Minor Earth, Major Sky" & I thought they were absolutely GREAT with "Lifelines" and "Analogue". This new CD it's not good for me... and the lyrics too aren't deep as always. Paul Waakatar-Savoy made a best work in the pasts albums. Sorry, at the moment A-ha aren't my favorite group anymore. I'm disappointed.

[getzippy]

I agree wholeheartedly Fullimmerzion, this is a-ha's worst album by far.

It's devoid of any oomph - bland, in fact.

I think Memorial Beach is still their best album.

I seriously hope they have a break after this.

And they need to stop socialising with Coldplay!

Zip

[fullimmerzion]

Thanx 4 your message... I also think they need to stop socialising with Coldplay! Bye, have a nice day.

[infime89]

excellent song. if i had been already there in 1985, i would have probably also loved them since then ;)

[Liruzhen]

I LOVE A-ha. I have loved them from the first time that I heard them in 1985. The guys have always been superb, and their talents get better with the passing of time. This song is yet another gem from three beautiful Norwegian hearts.

[xXenimcrbtx]

Moooorten. :D

So heißt ein Kumpel von mir, ist ja geil. :)

Gutes Lied, übrigens. :)

[tgirljj]

yukitrr ,,... i Agree!!! I LOVE THEM THEY ARE THE BEST! Never will anything, for me, be even close to the music these guys create

[arnfix]

i love aha, i am so happy to be norwaigian now so i can se them live

[Fionalah]

Still great after many, many years! Welcome back.

[Titianbreeze]

Love you , Morten!

[yukitrr]

my forever and eternal band---Aha.

[loca72]

finally!!!

[Annawy]

Excellent song from a great band ! About time they came back on to the radio !

[shotokoto]

My mother likes this song. Apparently it has a "good beat". No I don't know what that means either.

[GoogleAccounts321]

LOL , my mother likes this song too . ROFL

[lociz1]

i love the piano element in this, great effort Norwegian pop band norge eier!

[Sunny300466]

ich gönn das Comeback den Jungs voll,so lang wie die schon dabei sind,da sieht man doch schon,dass die ihr leben der Musik geschenkt haben... und warum...??? Für uns den Fans ne Freude zu machen(und natürlich weil ses drauf haben und damit ihr Geld verdienen)

[kazekagegaarsama]

yea your right

[zeus111980]

great song

[1coleSPROUSEfan2]

This song is cool

[britbomb]

Excited to pre order a copy of this cd, can't get anyting by them in the States. Sad, as I'm originally from the UK, and they get EVERYTHING!!! Lucky buggers....oh well, I'll continue to pay exorbitant shipping costs for their cds.....it's only money!!

Now if they'd just come Stateside..........:)

[pranavc]

you don't have to ship the new CD from overseas. It is available as a digital download off the UNiversal Norway website -exclusively for non-European fans.

[hotbun11]

yeah!!! they re back!!!

[uujdjhdjeudhjjshjeh]

This is one of the best albums aha has ever made. Lots of hits and i really hope they will do well in the UK when they realese it in july. a-ha is back again

[MegaFincher]

[nataliagmiranda]

beautiful and catchy album!!!

[Angelogcs]

Thank you guys!!! You are beautiful. Please do a small tour in the USA. Specially Houston!!!

[reiserdu]

This summer is saved!!! I love the new album! All the songs are good. but just now " nothing is keeping you here" are a favorite! Thank you a-ha!!!

[dwellingswing]

when listening to whole album, the chorus from "what there is" stands out right away. Maybe they should have gone with the verses from "foot of the mountain" and used the chorus from "what there is" just my humble opinion.

[alonso777777]

Love it <3

[dehaugen80]

Morten Harket is turning 50 this year, I don't believe it ... he looks so much younger

[BezKonkretnegoNicka]

Zgadzam się... Wow jest naprawdę świetny zarówno 25 lat temu jak i teraz!!

I'm Polish!!

[pRiinCeezx3]

wunderful sonq !!

[getzippy]

It possesses a power, precision and raw emotion that a-ha may never attain again. Vocally and instrumentally it echoes a heart-rendering synthesis of all a-ha's striking elements.

SASOTV is an operatic, balladic, booming song of yearning intensity and ostentatious defiance. It breathes fire and leaves the listener aurally scorched.

Take on me is not in a-ha's top 5 for me.

A-ha have made some excellent songs post Memorial Beech but, like any creative force, it's powers vary at times.

Zip

[reiserdu]

Time vil show! There might be some knew listeners! Maybe younger than we are! he he

[getzippy]

Now that is the sort of educated opinion that I openly encourage on Youtube.

Zip

[getzippy]

The early 80's hits of A-ha are ABSOLUTELY A-ha.

They are songs that have lasted through the decades, that is how good they are. Foot and mouth mountain will only be forgotten.

IMHO, The Sun Always Shines on TV is the best a-ha song from all their work by a clear margin. Why?

[SeEn2005]

This is a fu**in great song!!!

[Blade9000]

Polarkreis 18 - Allein Allein

Two identical songs...

And this one came out later... =/

[Floraluni77]

They are not identical?!

Allein,allein is more slowly...

Pff.. ;P

[FuckinButterfly]

The sound is a little into the same direction, but I don't see where you find the similarity...

[Bale4Bond]

the song title does not make any sence !!

[iainwish]

A Ha are very mis-understood. Take on Me and Sun Always Shines etc are not the real A Ha. Onloy thos ewho know Lifelines, Minor Earth Major Sky and Analogue understand the real A Ha. The new single and album maybe reflect some personal happiness in their lives - the production too polished? For those who only know the first A Ha, you have a lot of catching up to do. A Ha - see you in Manchester and Birmingham!

[getzippy]

I totally agree downtown - this song pales into insignificance compared to The Sun Always Shines on TV.

They may never make a song as mighty as TSASOTV.

Shame - that's the way of life/art I guess..

Zip

[ZZSTORMBRINGERZZ]

escuche el cd completo..muy bueno ..de lo mejor. :)

[downtownphotographer]

How do they go from the sun always shines on tv to this?

[reiserdu]

24 years Groving up! Better at making music!

greetings from the PERÚ

[eternityforever1234]

The new cd is boring

[sleneset1]

The best Aha album in years - love this song...

[MegaFincher]

OMG!!

I have listen to the hole album at a-ha website

and i think its the best pop album for years...its a depth in the songs i cant explain! Go to a-ha website and listen,

its simply brilliant!!!

[abofalAddict]

I agree! Can't wait 'til its finally out and I can buy my own copy.

[3musicLove7]

Great Song !!!

[eternityforever1234]

Not their best song

[VisualNovels]

Like Robin Williams once said: Fu**ing great band! love this song :)

[tomialpha]

Not their best song, even not approaches the level of Lifelines, Forever not yours or Summer moves on, but still tolerable.

An average A-ha songs.

If the disc doesn't contain many weaker songs, we could be totally satisfied with their new album.

[MegaFincher]

I have heard the songs from the new album and its unbeliveable GOOOOOD!!!

[Stefanxeryo]

great song

[getzippy]

I did listen to all the songs, and I was very disappointed. Just because it is a-ha it does not mean it is always quality. I suspect they would admit as much.

Zip

[getzippy]

Have just listened to segments of the new a-ha album - VERY moderate.....is this the end?

I think they may need a break, again. I don't expect them to make perfect albums all the time, but I fear their ability to make an album that contains at least 5 decent tunes may have dwindled.

A sad day.

[nataliagmiranda]

you have to listen all the songs. you will change your opinion.

[dolphins78]

great song great Morten great A-ha!!!!!!!!!!

[Chr1isi1]

it's sooo beautiful!!!!!

[PaperP1ate]

It is so nice to see a-ha making a comeback. 2009 is shaping up to be an amazing year for 80's icons with PSB, U2, Depeche and now a-ha.

[zaphod319]

totally agree

[thepuffinboy]

simple minds, The Church, Lightning seeds. Yes, a fine year indeed
