Morten Harket - Letters From Egypt

[TimCrozier1]

This was the year Al Gore won the peace prize, I wasn't there for the concert but I did keep US security waiting as they needed the room. That room being the Christian Radich Suite a few days earlier!

[JoanBeatrington001]

Why are their blacks in the background choir? Has Norway really adopted the Suicidal USA multiculturalism? Norwegians are indigenous to Norway for 1000s of years, why must Norwegians import Africans to improve their lives? that is almost implying that being solely Norwegian is somehow a disadvantage. Multiculturalism is genocide, and its only being forced on white nations. In fact every white nation in the world is experiencing such demographich shifts they will soon be extinct

[annikaerf]

@JoanBeatrington001 Wake up! It's a new millenium, the world is going through changes! colour of skin has no matter at all. "Whities" have invade Africa for ages, why wouldn't there be Africans blended in all other society? With your attitude amongst us there will never ever be worldpeace, we'll never have a loving caring society. Besides, the two black people you saw are propably born and raised in Norway, they're Norwegians and Europeans. Basta!

[Nordlys73]

I'm so proud of him, so proud for this wonderful talent man, so stunning he reached my soul through his amazing velvet voice

God bless Morten with this special gift: to be what he is and blessed us to keep going to listen to Him

[egle6699]

Angel voice and perfect man...So talented.. You are the only one in the world, Morten..

[PremyLinguist]

Morten I will miss you so much!!!!! ;(

[xzbyte2002]

It's so sad that A-ha is ending :( For my it will be the best band and the best singer ever produced in Norway. Just beautiful.

[underwaterpassion]

PLAYBACK..??.1.23 ...

[xzbyte2002]

@underwaterpassion The audio and video isn't synced, so it looks like it's all playback, but it isn't. A-ha isn't the kind of band which uses playbacks :)

[1Witchitait]

Was Sølvguttene the ones singing with him?

[peggi67]

@superDVD100 - I think also so!

[SuperDvd100]

When Morten sings, it is like Heaven's Door is opened up and Angels whisper come near us! His vocal registers are so amazing! I didn't believe at my ears! A beautiful voice in a beautiful man! I will always love Morten!

[TheLolaboomboom]

@SuperDvd100 Hearing him brings tears to my eyes... absolutely gorgeous in every way!!!

We love you Morten.... hottie

[Scroundaldays]

[54spiritedwill54]

THE BESTTTT!

[dqp56baf]

Morten had do it again in norway

[moonfaceprincess34]

wonderfull song, wonderfull album, im still inlove with his voice:)

[musicloveroninternet]

I was there at the front, and close-up to Morten. This was an amazing performance together with the orchestra and the choir. I have seen him many times solo and with a-ha and I love them!

[atoosas]

I envy you. I have yet to see them in concert. Or to meet them.

I don't know what I'd do if I met Morten. I'd probably get really tongue-tied.

[TinaKim]

You are lucky. I am jealous. I hope to see him live one day. I am in the USA.

[emanitudism]

He's a Vulcan you know. That's why I like him. And his voice. And his nuts.

[Turbotrips]

Morten Harket of course.

[Turbotrips]

Best male Norweigian singer EVER!!!

[alekdenstore92]

kurt nilsen?

[18kmtosea]

@Turbotrips no, he is a girl... don't you know it?? :D

[ldbluesky]

really neat! Thanks a million!

[scal1007]

This is by far the best song on the new album. The rest is so dull. Major dissapointment:-(

[fcsonny]

I like the live version 1000000 times better than the CD version.

Letter from egypt on CD is very BAD.

[AgnieszkaTempczyk]

letter from haven;)

[AgnieszkaTempczyk]

welcome...:)

[mycountrynest]

Uma says "a voice to die for"..oh how true that is..love you

[johnsposato]

That's Uma Thurman introducing him.

[sumikonyc]

This is simply beautiful! und die Wiener Sängerknaben sind sehr schön. Morten, Ich liebe dich, immer.

[abida1]

you are the best morten ....

[fermi5]

Ok, where the heck is Paul and Mags? Were they in the back playing the two guitars?

[Cta2006]

This is a Morten solo performance. a song from his new solo album about to be released. Magne and Pål is not there, because it's not an a-ha performance.

[nikkele01]

THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

[rkaust]

Morten has one of the greatest voices, and I think it's great he does solo stuff, though I prefer Magne's solo work. Who cares about his personality, the guy has awesome vocal cords and deserves credit for that!

[chuckieegg]

No one can judge him for his personality unless they have actually met the man and spoken to him. I haven't met him, so until I do I would guess that he has a fantastic personality; from what I've heard from people who have spent some time with him :-)

[sistablu]

Great lyric I'm sure,

"walking down the street,

kicking leaves with our feet".

Come on he's still the same little wanker he was in Aha. An whats the song got to do with Egypt. sorry but its c*ap!

[sam74aj]

OH cant you read??? LETTERS FROM EGYPT..You also dont know tallent when you come across it...

[sistablu]

Have you ever had to work with the lil wanker! Well I have and I keep my views,no talent then and hasn't improved.

[atoosas]

what did he ever do to you? Turn you down for a date?

[sadmarquise]

That is strange, I think the same about concerts; he sings very well, but he could do some efforts to sing other songs than the same ones he sings since 1986/1988(except the songs of the new album); the problem is that the Royal Highness does not give a damn.He thinks his presence is a GIFT,anf that we should be grateful because he has accepted to come and sing (for an enormous amount of money)for us. He does not see the harm he does to a-ha, and especially to Paul, who does ROCK......

[armanth13]

Find me a better vocalist with that kind of range that isn't female. He's one of the best in the world, and his presence is a gift but he's not that shallow.

[carmaell]

Hey, Jarrousky are a wider range, but he sings classic though. I love morten, he is amazing.

[sadmarquise]

Hello!

Please,can you give me some examples which show he is a wanker? I thought he had worked A LOT for the 1st a-ha album.

What do you think about Paul?

Thanks...

[chriss2404]

open doors....là, je m'envole !

après ça, vous êtes regaillardi, encouragé !

Belle voix, beau message ! Merci encore Monsieur Harket !

[saxeus]

Is it just me or does this sound a lot like Eric Clapton's 'Tears in Heaven'???

[JohnnyMidgey]

No, it's defenitely not ONLY you. :) But I like this much more though.

[Barny121]

it gets stronger each time i hear it. As powerful as Ready to go Home on his album Wild Seed.

[MatthieuDF]

I was wondering if I were the only one thinking so: 'Letters' grows on me, the more I hear it. Je suis d'accord: "belle voix et beau message"-!

[solstrandvegen]

really nice song, espesially the combination with "sølvguttene"! love this songe!

[Hautussat]

Yeah, I think so too!

He's an amazing singer and songwriter!

Very few at my age like him, but I do!

He is wickedly good! :D

[BrGuX]

on eof Mortens best songs after: Take On Me, Forever Not Yours, and Summer Moved,and Cosy Prison, Love your voice Morten

[melodymorten]

This one is new to me. Would this song be in his forthcoming solo album?

[Hautussat]

Yes it is

[hakon12]

Hey! Sry i've got hackd MORTEN HARKET IS NOT MY UNCLE!!! SRY!

[Scoundrel761]

It's serious alright. So serious in fact that he'll make it to the top of the charts in Norway, probably nowhere else though.

After listening to this performance for a week, it's painful to see. "Archbishop" Harket has done it again and presented us with a gospel song that our grandmothers would be proud of.

Ouch!

[vikinghonor]

hmmm,hehe :)

[kildybonyhad]

Well, scoundrel, if this seems to be too affected by "religion", or seriousness, then go and listen to "Girl"... :) I think it's good that Morten has many different sides, moods, call it what you want: to be multi-faceted is rather an advantage, not a shame..!

[hakon12]

morten harket is my uncle

[kildybonyhad]

You lucky one!!! Wish I could say that - well, I guess I would want him to be rather something else, though... :) :) :) !!!

[hakon12]

Sry i've got hackd he's not my uncle!

sry again.

[kildybonyhad]

Oh, well...- then bad for you! I would still love him to be my...hmmmm, "uncle", or something else... :) !!!

[RauracianCelts]

Really beautiful!!!

[unaky]

I hope there is no gospel .... (3 singers) on the original letters from Egypt. They make me very angry so I always turn the song after 02:45 off.

[poeshkita]

BEAUTIFULL.....MAGICAL.... When can I buy the album?

[urbmeister]

bit a mix between

Some kind of christmas card and heaven is not for the saints

his voice stays MEGA

but i think its a bit a messy circumstance LOL

its like if he is improvising,

like some jamsession!

but ok

Morten Rocks!

waaa waa wee waaahhhhhhh 8)

[oerstadt]

he's always great

[hansenb1]

Any chance someone can re-sync the video and the sound, her voice is ahead of the video.

Thanks,

[Rutonija]

I'm speechless... Fantastic. Magical. Waiting for whole album.

[Claudiathesomanieth]

Hm, have to say I'm not really very impressed by this.

[urbmeister]

you mean

its not what you were hoping for!?

you get used, just give it some time! ;)

[Claudiathesomanieth]

Hoi Urby. :-)

The melodie just seems to be going up and down over the same 4 notes, repeated over and over and over, only being transported a few times.

It only moves up in pitch a bit for the refrain and some high outbursts.

At the end not just the notes, but also the lyrics are just only repeated and repeated and repeated....

It just does not make me wánt to listen again or give it more time.

That can't be good, right ?

[urbmeister]

hey girl ;)

yes your ABsolutely right,

but hey...

he sings, he?

hahaha, well thats enough,

as long he sings, i dont mind 8)

as long its in English :-))))

cheeriooo ;)

[cabaneabois]

This is the first time that a song succeed doing me to cry. I find this remarkable song and I have again a lot of shivers.

thanks to share this video so fast !! big kisses to you !!!! :D :D

[Scoundrel761]

Well, it is Morten...and he does sing well as usual.

However, I think that he needs to focus more on a-ha and forget these solo projects. The man can sing, but he sucks at writing lyrics.

I have the utmost respect for him as a humanitarian and musician.

Great to see him play the guitar for a change though and if this is any indication how the overall theme of his new solo album is going to be...I won't be buying it.

It's a disappointment.

Thanks.

[ladywithpink]

Hei Yes.I don't agree with you about that Morten should forget his solo project. No. Not at all.I love Morten's solo songs both Norwegian and English as I love the a-ha songs aswell.Yes.Morten can sing very great and lovely but I don't think that Morten sucks in writing at all and I am looking forward to Morten's new soloalbum and I will buy it.I can't wait.And I don't think it is a disappointment.

Yes.Morten is a great humanitarian and musician.Charlotte

[LipeHarket]

Morten is the best!

[nandolsf]

thank you for sharing it. I liked the song a lot and the more you hear it the more te song gets under your skin.

[unaky]

The song is nice and smooth until the three "singers" start singing in the background.

[kildybonyhad]

I agree - I would have left them out, but the kids choir is nice though.

[RamonaR87]

I'm not too sure about the song yet, my first impression was that it's boring, but that might switch to enthusiasm any time soon. ;) Sometimes it's love at second sight. But Morten...yummy. The man does not get older, he gets hotter!

[Jackowacko1985]

This was niiice! Can someone upload Alicia Keys verson of Human Nature? On the same consert?

[jerryoli]

great song !! thanks !!

[ladywithpink]

Hei Thanks very much for sharing. I was very sad that I couldn't see it in the TV yesterday and of course couldn't be there aswell. Yes. What can I say. Very great with Morten. Yes. Very great song. I love it. And Morten is singing as lovely as always and live. Very well done Morten. Ja. Kjempebra Morten. You are the best Morten. Hugs Charlotte

[fool73]

An Amazing song with a very serius tekst,that is very perfect for the 2 pice price winners this year.Morten as always deliver someting beutiful,and his voice gives me gusebumps almost every time:) And what a face,and body for a man ho is soon 50 years old.,keep up the good working "MORT'S"

[kildybonyhad]

O.M.G.!!! IT IS WONDERFUL, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for adding this - I have tried to watch the show last night, but could not find any site on the NET that would have aired it... Morten did it again!!! IT IS SOOOOO GREAT!!!

[frostygirl9251]

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing this!

[ilily]

You made my day! Takk skal du ha!

[80stimeagain]

Thank you much for this !!! A serious song.
