  • Yes Norway, stay on these roads. Don't let somebody distrurb this country.

    You are on a very good way. I was there last week. Norwegian are stong...thats good so.....

  • Still hear this, once a week.. and thinking of all these young people....hope Morton will bring this song in Frankfurt/M on May 3rd on the way he did't on 21.08.

  • Thank you Mags, Morten and Pål.

  • 4 people were crying and couldn't find the 'like' button.

  • what a wonderful song. thank you from italy

  • I hope, that the Norway could help the people. If somebody needs help I'm there....

    cannot forget..

  • Superrrrr

  • was für ein großer Auftritt, was für ein trauriger Anlaß...

  • OMDG!Amazing I love SOTR and A-HA

  • Everybody should be like Morten, it does not hurt a fly to.

    Todo mundo devia ser como Morten, ele não faz mal para uma mosca.

    Todo el mundo debería ser como Morten, no hace daño a una mosca.

  • Wow this was Amazing

  • I lost tonight a good friend but its nothing to all those young people who lost there live.

    I will be there.... Femia

  • I remember years ago when A-HA brought their incredible sound and videos for all of us to imprint in our lives to remember and date stamp for all of us to reflect upon years later when perhaps we have elapsed our bettter times. I hope that the incredible voices and sounds of A-HA resonate forever. An incredible tribute to those whom have lost so much more than I can ever imagine losing all at once. Never stop believing you have friends who care!

  • Молодцы

  • I still hear it, every day and think of all these young people....

    Femia.

  • I still hear this song and think on all these young people. Thanks Aha.

    Femia

  • que ademas de su belleza fisica que todavia conserva muy bien..la verdad es que si algun dia pierde su belleza exterior,eso no solo no tiene nada que ver con la grandiosa musica que nos ha dado,sino que igual seguira siendo hermoso por dentro,basta de superficialidad!

  • gracias chris por esto..gran performance,espero q las familias de las victimas hayan encontrado cierto alivio para su alma..si bien se ve que no debo ver mucho las noticias porq no me entere de esto cuando sucedio..hace poco me hice fan de a-ha y me entere lo q paso por esta via..noruega yo tmb estoy contigo! ...y espero no ver mas comentarios sobre el supuesto liffting de morten y demas cosas sin sentido..mas respeto con las victimas y sus familiares,y con el mismo morten tambien

  • Bravo!!!!

  • OMG - Goosebumps! I've loved this song ever since the album came out and have loved it ever since. This just made it better...I'm not a singer but I can imagine how hard it is to sing acoustic and Morten's voice is still amazing..enuf said! Forever and always ~

  • It was only fitting that a-ha would do this. After all it was their people who sadly were taken. Norway was grieving for its lost souls, and more importantly, those families who are left with unbearable loss for their loved ones. It really does put life in perspective, when you see how this tragedy unfolded as it did. It was stomach churning even just watching the news footage.Hopefully the ceremony somehow eased some of the pain for the families associated with this horrible anguish. I hope so.

  • The people that were in this terrifying Norway tragedy,may you all rest in peace,you will never be forgotten.

  • The best song ever!

  • Wirklich eine geniale Version des Songs. Gibt es von dem Konzert eine DVD oder BluRay oder ist diese geplant?

  • Thanks, Danke, Dank U wel. The best performance........

    Femia (borned in Amsterdam, living in Frankfurt)

  • Very nice,but still not as good as the original,a-ha was an electro-pop pioneer band in the 80s,their strength was in their synths! I understand the orchestra looks better on mainstream tv, but unfortunately it doesn't sound as good as the original mix...still a beautiful song anyway!

  • @teknicouleur

    You must remember, this performance was to honor the people who lost their lives (not to perform the song in the original way). They came together just for this peformance. I absolutely love this version with the live orchestra....sooo much emotions in their performance..it brings tears to my eyes thinking about the y)oung ones loosing their lives after that (and also experiencing all the love we shared together as a nation (and in Oslo my birth city which I still live in).

  • This was a beautiful tribute! Morten sounded as great as ever. A-Ha will never die.

  • Morten Looks Like Not 52-year man, he looks like 40-year man

    what's about to release this concert in DVD-quality in WEB ?

  • Saudadessss!!Me passou um filme na cabeça...Linda música!!

  • I love this!!!!! one of the best performances of this song...and he has his hair like it was in the 80's!!! Chris...your my new best friend for putting this up!!! amazing

  • Hi Chris, I am so glad your link was posted in the a-ha newsletter. great work :)

  • the best band ever... with beautiful music and meaningful lyrics unlike most of rubbish today... i wish i could have see them perform live.

  • Can not watch it without tears...

  • An amazing performance of such a beautiful song. A song which is so very sad yet at the same time so very hopeful. A wonderful tribute in honor of the victims of the massacre. It brought tears to my eyes.

    Thank you a-ha!

  • Very moving indeed, puts a lump in my throat.

    A beautiful performance to from Norway own superstars A-ha

    wish they'd reform.... my favourite band so sadly missed.

    there music will last forever in me and millions of fans around the world forever

  • Amazing moment, yes, to see A-ha together, again...but in the meantime, it is so sad when I think of the lost of so many young people...God bless them !!! Morten Harket has such a wonderful voice...and he is EVER more more beautiful at 52 than 25...."How can I sleep with your voice in my head ?" Forever yours Morten Harket !!

  • @sonia691000 Yes, Morten is the best singer of the world with the most amazing voice and I like him so much and I miss him every day!!! This is so a wonderful song and i had tears too as I saw it at this moment! I'm waiting impatently for his new solo-album! Morten forever!!

  • @mortenwonder59 You are so right and I feel the same !!! We traveled in New York in May 2010, to see A-ha in their farewell tour. The guys were amazing and Morten had (as always) his perfect voice. We've been lucky to have their autographs after the show. The guys have been very generous. Morten made me almost die when he smiled to me....unforgettable.... "How sweet it was". 

  • @sonia691000 Yes, I was so happy too, then I saw a-ha in July 2010 on their farewell tour in Germany and this concert was a surprise for me! I didn't know, that we're going to this concert. 8 years ago, since I' become motherless I didn't hear a-ha so often..Why? I don't know..no time for me and my music..Then I saw Morten and I was the little girl with 11 years again who saw the first time Morten and then I cried!! This concert was so fantastic and unforgettable! Now I hear a-ha every day!!

  • Força Noruega nossas oraçoes para confortar os coraçoes de quem perdeu seus entes queridos

  • Talvez eu esteja muito sensivel mas chorei ao ver e ouvir este magnifico espetaculo do a-ha sera que nao veremos mais outra banda com tanto talento e beleza?eles inalam o bem na voz e na conduta e pior e saber que muitos criticam a bela musica e as boas bandas, fatalidades da vida cada um pode expressar o seu ponto de vista mas como nao gostar do que faz bem a humanidade??????

  • Thanks for this wonderful citizens of the world. Hold on Norway.

  • Beautiful song and great orchestral arrangement!

    By the way.... this is the Norwegian Radio Orchestra (in Norwegian: Kringkastingsorkesteret) and not the Oslo Philaharmnoc Orchestra.

  • Wonderful and fitting song for memorial! Morten gives voice to all our hearts in front of the tragedy. Very touching! We miss you guys! Roberto, Italy

  • I just keep listening at 3:20 to 4:45 over and over.

    I keep imagining that Morten ethereally sings, and that Magne and Pål quietly play, the words of all those young people lost.

    One last message to their families. One last haunting goodbye. One last promise of love..

    The tears I weep are tearing my soul...

  • Danke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @71aidualc Du sagst in einem Wort genau das was ich fühle! Dieses Lied sagt genau das aus, was wir alle empfinden. Ich liebe dieses Llied und könnte jedesmal losheulen wenn ich Mortens Stimme höre. Danke a-ha für diesen unvergesslichen Auftritt in dieser schweren Stunde. Ich fühle mit allen Norwegern, die einen so schweren Verlust nun tragen müssen!!! a-ha forever!!!

  • @mortenwonder59 Ich wusste, wenn sie ein Lied singen, dann ist es das. Er kann es eben immernoch! Schade nur, dass das nun wirklich definitiv der letzte gemeinsame Auftritt von den dreien gewesen sein wird. Ich bin jetzt gespannt, wann Morten eine neue CD rausbringt und wie die wird. Seine letzte fand ich saugut. Zum Ruhe tanken und entspannen einfach nur schön... Paul's neuestes Werk ist auch nicht schlecht, fehlt halt nur die eine, die besondere Stimme.... :o)

  • @71aidualc Ja, seine Soloalben finde ich GENIAL. Ich liebe seine Stimme die auf seine Soloalben noch viel mehr akustisch zur Geltung kommt. "Wild Seed" fand ich SPITZE und höre mir mindestens eines dieser Lieder täglich an, aber auch "Letter from Egypt" ist Klasse! Ja, Morten ist einfach der beste Sänger mit der einzigartigsten Stimme! Pauls Neues Lied finde ich nicht so super, aber wie Du sagst, mir fehlt halt einfach Mortens Stimme dazu!!! Welche "Solosongs" magst Du am liebsten?

  • @mortenwonder59 Mein allerliebster Lieblingssong von Morten aus seinem letzten Soloalbum ist ''Movies''. Und von den a-ha- Songs hör ich am liebsten ''Hunting high and low'' fast gleichauf mit ''Angel in the snow'' und ''Butterfly''. Es gibt noch viele andere, eigendlich mag ich ja jeden Song, aber die vier sind meine Favoriten. Und diese langsame Version von ''Stay on these Roads'' find ich auch sehr genial gemacht.....

  • @71aidualc Zufälle gibts? "Movies" ist absolut genial! Ich liebe dieses Song, aber wie Du sagst, es sind alle Klasse, aber seine Favoriten hat man trotzdem. Mir gefällt "Cosy Prisons" von Magne komponiert total gut, vom Text der mich persönlich sehr anspricht und mit Mortens Stimme einfach super! Die Video von "Angel" und "Butterfly" liebt mein kleiner Sohn sehr (Engel und Schmetterllinge)und so schauen wir immer a-ha videos wenn ich bügle! Ja, a-ha begleitet mich täglich und gibt mir Freude!

  • Amazing, A-ha will never die.

  • We all love Norway!!! From the deeps of my heart I want to send all my love to You Norwegian people!!!Thanks a lot for the love and the strong union You always show, my Dearest Norway!!!Lots of thanks to A-HA of being there with all their love and suffering!!!We suffer with You the loss of 77 young lives!!!

  • Sublimate!! His voice in my head, attractive melody for these souls, wonderful tribute A-ha!

  • I knew they would be together again. Regardless, it was a beautiful performance from everyone. The song is so fitting for the occasion, even though "Crying in the Rain" would had been good also.

  • Very nice. Our respect from Brazil.

  • No hay palabras para describir esta cancion , HERMOSA !!!! en memoria de las victimas de Oslo Noruega , desde Monterrey , n.l. , MEXICO , donde ayer 25 agosto del 2011 hubo un atentado en el CASINO ROYALE donde murieron 53 inocentes , la mayoria eran mujeres....que en paz descansen.....

  • speechless ...

    my favorite song, the band of my life, played by this wonderful man with the voice of angel and this orchestrates divine..I'm in heaven!!!

  • Very nice. Our respect from Spain.

    Muy bonito. Nuestros respeto desde España.

  • Their best live song ever, in any version. Perfect for the Memorial. Thoughts to all the families and people affected by this tragic event.

  • Ein bewegender Anlass - ein bewegender Song ! Respekt !

  • I also thought he was very young looking when I saw him on TV. Who knows, maybe he had a face lift? And so what? It is his life, and he sure got the money for it, so go ahead and enjoy your life, Morten!

  • True talent

    

  • @cristinawilligs It seems to me your'e no fan of them, so WHY are you here complaining about Mortens looks? Why?

  • @cristinawilligs No his neck skin has never been hanging. What do you mean by neck skin?? :D I'm sorry but you're a liar. Why?

  • im really suprised stay on these roads wasnt a bigger hit in america?some of there greatest work.I DONT GET IT?THERE ALL STILL WORKING SEPERATELY???

    ARE THEY NOT GETTING ALONG?oh well ive seen alotta a-ha :0)

  • @therealrockondon yes they have working separately during the nineties, morten launched 2 solo albums, paul have an indie band named savoy, and magne made music for norwegian movies and worked as a painter sculptor

  • @cristinawilligs a-ha interviewed me on the val hall dvd extras im the first guy interviewed ive seen a-ha 18times yeah i know savoy my friends recorded for them in new york.i just dont see why they retired?oh well lol

  • dont worry, they will comeback, they are musicians, this is not a bussiness, is a life style, when they get bored of hanging around with their project they will come back, by the way morten did a facelift during his vacations ,they will make another reccord, i truly dont believe they quit.

  • @cristinawilligs

    A FACE LIFT ?? I THINK ITS JUST LOTS OF FACE MAKEUP.

    I HOPE THEY REFORM 1 DAY,

  • @theBESTelvis but look at him, his neck skin was hanging on december, now he looks like back in the 90s, make up cant hide skin hanging

  • @cristinawilligs

    mmmm...i dont think so to be honest hun, ive got there last show on dvd , I just think its loads of make up and how the lighting is. nobodys as mentioned it on the video forum yet, just comments saying he looks great , which he do's.

    ANYONE THINK'S MORTENS HAD A FACE LIFT OR SOME TYPE OF SURGERY ????

  • @cristinawilligs I'm shocked. Then come a-ha again to honor the victims and make a unforgettable occurs and you pull her over and ask if he Morten had a face lift? I expect more respectful to the victims and the relatives compared with! They've lost people they love and you're talking if Morten had a face lift? It isn't okay in this moment!Shame on you! I like Morten exactly like he ist and the important think is that Morten sings along and we hear a lot of nice songs from him in the future!

  • awesome performance and very fitting

  • Thanks for posting this. It makes me wish they would come back for a full concert with full orchestration. So much of their music would lend itself well to a full orchestra.

  • Thank you for uploading!

    I just have to say that who in their right mind would give a damn if Morten Harket has lost hair or how good or bad he looks at the time like this! Only thing I can say that they had the good sense of respecting the cervise with wearing a tie. So many other men that performed didn't!!

  • ok ok . i take back everything I said. but still he is losing he´s hair at the back but defiantly not his incredible voice

  • Beautiful tribute - perfect song for the occassion. My heart goes out to all of the children and adults who died on that awful day.

  • One of the most moving performances of this favourite track

  • thanks to the magic of make-up duhhhh 

  • Thankyou a-ha 

  • Надолго ли вернулись?К сожалению наверно нет Но не об этом сейчас речь В Норвегии действительно случилась страшная трагедия Соболезную

  • Excellent performance. I think Morten's occasionally unsure notes make the song even more intimate. The drummer does a great job and seems to enjoy it. And the orchestra at the end, man, I can damn near keep from crying. So very good.

  • thank you Chris :)

  • Thank you so much a-ha, this might spent some consolation to the victoms and bereaved persons.

  • It's so good to see a-ha back together again, even for one performance only.

    I just wish the occasion wasn't so sad.

  • Thank you so much for this video. I feel with you Norway, and Morten's voice helping them to cope with pain. I like this song so much and must cry so often when I hear it. Thank you a-ha for this unforgettable song and this unique entrance. a-ha forever!

  • The cold has a voice it talks to me Still-born by choice and it airs no need to hold. Old man feels the cold oh baby don't 'cause I've been told: Stay on these roads we shall meet I know Stay on, my love we shall meet I know I know. Where joy should reign these skies restrain Shadow your love - the voice trails off again The voice trails off again. Old man feels the cold oh baby don't 'cause I've been told: Stay on these roads we shall meet I know Stay on, my love you feel so weak be strong....
  • Bewegend ! Toller Song.... Norwegen trauert und ist stark!

  • Excelente interpretación de la canción acompañada de una buena orquesta.

    Aunque es una lástima el motivo que lo llevó estar ahi.

  • Very beautiful song... rest in peace... you young beautiful souls... we will never forget you!

  • waw.

    Ik ben grote fan sinds jaren.

    Heel intieme versie

    jOris

  • God bless Morten, Magne, and Paul for trying to bring some comfort to all those in their hometown/country and from all around the world who are so incredibly saddened by what has happened.

  • O a-ha como sempre emociona....muito lindo. Conforto às familias....

    Brasil

  • Wonderful and fitting...REST IN PEACE to all those lost souls!

  • Thanks for sharing this video. Love and peace for norway. a-ha we loves you

  • Thank you so much Chris for sharing this with us! I didn't think I would be able to watch the memorial in the states. Then I remembered "Chris"! He will have it! And you did -Thank you again. God bless the victims and all their families .

  • morten is the best image from the 80's. Forever young they used to say...

  • Awesome. thx to you a-ha.

    peace and love to Norway!

  • Thank you, a-ha! Thank you, indeed!

  • Think Morten Harket is 52. If you'd changed the order of the digits, his age would actually match his look better.

  • It was a beautiful tribute to victims and victims' family, I was very moved. Thanks Chris.

  • Thanks Chris for posting this wonderful video!!! Despite of sadness A-ha was perfect!! Beautiful cerimony and my thoughts and prayers will be with Norwegian´s families who lost their beloveds.... I deeply hope that God gives strength and serenity to them!

  • To Chris, thank you for uploading this, a-ha, you have done Norway proud, God bless to all the families in Norway, you are in our thoughts.

  • Thank you Chris for sharing the video, as always it is great !!! What a pleasure to see them together !!! Morten´s voice is perfect and he looks like in his early days... Lovely version of the song...

  • Really I don' t understand who disliked this clip!!! It reminds some innocent blood bleeded by a evil hand!!! 77 victims!!! The band that sing this song, looks very, very sad and shattered!!!!Norway' s people is very democratic, kind, friendly, lovely and what happened to them is very unfair!!!! Norway' s people, Your pain is also my pain!!! Norway, I suffer with You, I will always love You!!!

  • Perfection.

  • Thank you so much for sharing this Chris. What a fitting song and beautiful performance for such a sad time. Wonderful to see a-ha together again but wish it was under happier circumstances. My thoughts are with the bereaved families.

  • Thanks Chris - I wasn't able to watch the live stream, so really appreciate you posting this so quickly. Wonderful, moving peformance.

  • Just perfect. Thank you for sharing the video. It was wonderful to see my favorite band playing again. Lots of emotions...

  • Thank you

  • Chris, you are amazing! And so fast!!!! Thanks again...

    Best wishes!

  • Dear Norway

    What a terrible day

    So much madness

    Too much sadness

    Your heart is bleeding

    My heart is aching

    For you

    To a-ha THANK YOU

  • @Iloveahaforever It is very fair what you have written here!!! It shows your love for a nation wounded in her heart!!!I agree with you!!! I love Norway, Norwegian people and a-ha too!!!Love from me.

  • Thank you A-ha!!!

    

  • amazing, moving and haunting. Thank you for sharing. A great tribute for those who lost their lives in that sad and tragic day.

  • WOW...Chris, thanks for this AMAZING upload. We all never thought we'd see the day when A-ha would perform live on stage again, Such a sad and tragic cause has had to bring the greatest band of all time back to the world for just a few short minutes, Cant believe how young morten looks here with his 80's quif back to and what an amazing haunting performance with the orchestra , May piece be with Norway and the world in these tragic time.Chris you are the A-ha promoter of youtube land. 5*****

  • It was released in 1988, but the song have been a lovesong, a "classic hit from the 80s" , a fans' message to the members of a-ha  during their last tour and now this song hopefully supports friends and families of victims. Time goes by but the song will be here to be heard for different reasons.

  • @cosetilo5 You have the things write like i would say too,but my english is to bad -i'm sorry for this.

    But i like to say something,because i was so happy so see A-ha my heroes TOGETHER on stage - i wish it was not for this sad reason - and i HOOPE SO MUCH IT WAS NOT FOR THE LAST TIME!

    (And Morten look so great and young with the hair like in the years 1987/88!)

  • @loosingyou

    We don't have to apologize for our english! Anyway, i don't think a-ha want to be together again. We love a-ha's music , but they want to move on and do different things. I do hope for further a-ha releases of previous material! They could release 25 album as a dvd/blue ray collection of their video clips or a b-side collection! And yes, i agree with you, Morten looked so much younger!!

  • Amazing thanks for uploading!!!

  • Isso é que é banda!

    Sensacional!

  • Grazie Chris! Momento veramente toccante! Grazie a-ha!

  • Thanks Chris. Greetings from French Riviera

  • Thank You Chris for posting!! The whole ceremony was beautiful but so emotional.............

  • This is a very sad moment!!!77 victims, 77 lives blown away, like candles in the wind! Killed by the hands of one man, one pitiless, cruel killer! I' m still crying at this thought!!!Thanks a lot a-ha, this is always a memory to save, because love must win over all!!!The whole world needs to live in peace, love and harmony like Norway teachs!!!

  • Sehr emotional und wundervoll! Gut gemacht Morten, Mags und Paul, Danke für diesen Auftritt!

  • Very beautiful but sad at the same time..

  • Merci pour la video

  • Morten looks like a 1987 version:) Love it.

  • Tusen Takk from Köln! :)

  • Wait, this is the split-up a-ha even with a full symphonic orchestra live on stage today?

  • Danke für das Video

  • merci Chris pour cette vidéo tres poignante

  • Thank you very much!!!!!!! Onde o improvável aconteceu, eles com certeza estariam presentes para a celebração. Somente eles para arrancar lágrimas da platéia. Eu os amo para sempre, por tudo o que representam e por estarem lá nesse dia.

  • The beautiful memorial of them with this song. She shivered my soul. I was very happy to see them together again, I was really happy. Not tears of happiness or sadness can explain not only this time as I had, but like all fans of this wonderful band! We want a fully lit path to Norway and for our dear Norwegian Morten, Magne and Paul. Thank you a-ha. Thank you so much! The band and Norway will be in our hearts forever!

  • Sensacional.

  • Thank you very much, Chris. My heart is weak, have goose bumps everywhere and tears in my eyes. So beautiful... and so sad... like the whole ceremony.

  • Wow! So moving and so powerful. They did such a wonderful job. Bravo to them! R.I.P, victims -3 I can't thank you enough for posting this so quickly!
