magne and paul went to england trying to get a contract, but they went broke and went hitchiking the way back to norway and this song is about this infame way back

@PuFFeboy How about you develop an ear like I have, then compare the recording to this ending. Or compare the beginning to the end, they do not sound the same. Nice try :).
Very poetic lyrics. I'm amazed of how beautifully they can write English lyrics being Norwegian and all. One of favorite songs from "Hunting High and Low". Happy to see they're still performing it.
I swear I remember "Going Live" (Kids tv in the uk on a Saturday am) saying they were showing the new video. There was a field with a boy with a popup book that came to life!
Thanks for uppload this version live ! it's so rare to listen it. I have heard one time in a concert in france at frejus, and it was in 1985 or 1986... thanks
i do know it was going to be the 5th single off the hunting high & low album but there 2nd album was ready so the record company wanted the new material out fast. id love to see the video if there is one.
For so many days../years hoped they would play this song live again, thank you so much for the upload!!! Feel very free to listen to my own songs, take care!!!
Gracias a todos los que han visitado este video, de la colección que tengo aqui en youtube es el mas visto, desde el minuto 04:00 al 04:51 simplemente MAGISTRAL el sonido y voz, lo mas lindo que han escuchado mis oidos, esa interpretación en vivo es un verdadero extasis :)
@galadriell1972 Its the best live version i've seen, especially like Pal doing the guitar work on this one. Pal didn't do it in later versions live. Love It !
He missed the first verse coz...well missing lines is what he does, regularly. But 2x scrolling lcd's on stage hav just about cured that probelm. As for remix's this is one of the few songs of which there aren't too many I'm afraid. There's an early version and a few live versions but that's all I know of.
Oh and 80stimeagain ido agree.Their debut album was an inspiring masterpiece of themid 80s period.COLDPLAYs singer also admitted his admiration about this fab work recently while his listening to it again. am i wrong;someone answer
i remember them doing live in greece 2005.Mortens voice in perfect shape.I rememberthe reaction of some fans. we were looking at each other surprised coudnt believe our ears Hedidnt miss anote didnt do a false tune.JUST SUNG IT SO PERFECTLY. And the ending was storming and gentle at the same time.he left us stunned.
Hearing songs like that now makes me wonder where the Hell is that kind of musics nowadays?? bands like a-ha, alphaville, modern talking.... these songs dont die
J'en ai encore des frissons... dieu qu'elle était belle cette version. tous les souvenirs de ce qui fut mon premier concert de mon groupe préféré me reviennent!!!
I was there, they played NYC at Irving Plaza Sept.12 2005. It was their first US date in like 18 years. Great show, It was filmed with a camera on a crane, not sure if it will ever see light of day on DVD.
My Favourite a-ha song, brings back memories from when I saw them live, they were briliant!! The best band I have ever saw live or ever likely to see!!
So refreshing and nice to hear this done live. I love their first album, and this song is so dreamy. It puts me in another world. This song is magical. I love the melody and harmonies and all the synth sounds. They should do this song more live. This song takes me back in time, to the mid 80s again. Thank you for upload.
