  • The ending is kind of creepy

  • Morten... Haah... My major crush from 25 years ago. (when "Take On Me" ruled the airwaves) At least I'm never wrong on one thing.

  • I wish every man aged as well as Morten has. Holy crap.

  • gables? Do you mean that?! =)

  • We could stay there and never come back...!

    love it...as always :)

  • After all these years AHA still make awesome music ....amazing ...they haven't been burnt like the rest ....keep creativeness up Boys .....

  • Wonderful song!!! I love it ...

  • Wonderful song!!! I love it ...

  • I invite all fans of this wonderful band, watch a video tribute I made. A-ha forever!

  • that is a great song

    greetings from egypt

  • for people who dont know, aha is very famous in south america not just brasil, they played last tour in argentina and chile too, the only place in the world they are one hit wonder is in the states, and that makes me believe in conspiracy theory.

  • @cristinawilligs I'm in Canada but I'm not sure how big they were here. Certainly I'm a huge fan! These guys are real musicians - unlike some other "performers" these days. I understand what you mean about conspiracy theory. But in A-Ha's case I think it may have been a really stupid decision made by a really stupid record company exec.

  • @cristinawilligs - America truly dropped the ball on them. I have always loved them and was frustrated at their lack of respect from my country.

  • einfach geiler text, einfach weg von dem ganzen oberflächlichen scheiss

  • c est une chanson fantastique faites pour nous faire reve formidable dommage de ne pas voir le groupe plus souvent

  • he's beautiful

  • A-ha song always make me feel nostalgic about better times....thank you A-Ha!!!!!!

  • eu adoroo o A-HÁ faz parte da minha vida e de todos os brasileiros

    A-HÁ e BRAZIL tem uma ligação maravilhosaaaa. nós amamos.

    love's A-HÁ . we brazilians, very,very, love's A-HÁ..

  • purple balls flying everywhere.. freud is looking up from his grave rising an eyebrow

  • Love a-ha =D

    P.S.

    Take this lady gaga!! (and try to learn that you can't sing)

  • @animeloks

    dude i was on gaga's concert with my gf, trust me gaga can sing very very well. very good live performance.

  • @TheLamealot

    yeah, sure, but i still dont like her songs

    i think music lost the rhytim nowadays

  • better than cold play, keane...etc. they were the first.

  • what does mags say at 1:41?

  • @mauramcfly

    he is saying

    er du okay witch means are you okay?

  • @jenspetersen73 thank you! :)

  • Where was this video shot? Reminds me of Sleeping Bear Dunes along Lake Michigan in the lower penninsula. Great Video and good band too! They need to release this CD and the states. They are right up there with a Coldplay sound and it's hard to believe they've been around for a 1/4 century.

  • @fitzpatrickgf

    Right up there with Cold play? Cold play was in diapers when this band formed. Also, coldplay's lead singer states that he was heavily influenced by A-ha. Get with the program fitzpatrick.....comin' in here with that weak crap........coldplay schmoldplay.

  • @GeorgiaPatriot41 A-ha didn't have a hit in the states since Take on Me. Hunting High and Low single made it halfway. You're not a real musician to study the A-ha vs. Coldplay sound of this Foot of the Mountain Single by A-Ha. The weak crap is that they are stole the chorus of Coldplay's "Speed of Sound". Go get your wet wipes GeorgiaPatriot41! "Peach Pride to be humiliated 41 times in a row!" I think your diaper is long over due for changing!!! What a shame!!

  • @fitzpatrickgf Haha It isn't a wise choice to bring up stolen music when relating to Coldplay seeing is how their Viva La Lavida (a great song btw) is 100% completely stolen from Joe Satriani...

    Ah Ha is a great band who are unfortunately vastly underappreciated.

  • @WhatWouldntRandyDo as much as i agree with ur statement coldy was not the only band to steal music led zeppling took most of there music from others even 1 of pink floyd's not sure which one tho

  • Take on me... Please.

  • come back...

  • Jesus! Does this guy never age?

  • @mikedo6 I know he looks ageless! love them!

  • They still rocks man...

    I will be there in BRASILIA!!

  • Eles sao PHODA!!!!!! Que perda para a musica mundial...espero que eles re-considerem!

    I could totally live with Morten by the Foot Of The Mountain, hahaha! ;D

  • Very Happy

  • They lost nothing from their glorious years! Love it.

  • A master piece album from a great group

    with a very sense.

  • aha é foda melhor banda do mundo IN BRAZILLLLLLLLLL

  • The best band America never really heard

  • @gables79

    I agree completely! I love this group ad their songs...!!!

  • Sugoi!

  • super! no comment...

  • This is nearly to much for me it´s so sad it´s painfaul to listen to.

    Great Morten

  • @lundholmproduction My thoughts exactly... I feel orphaned.

  • waw...:))))

  • they are norwegian :D *proud*

    I love this song!

  • @LilleElin tschieah!! haugesund ruleeeezzz bigazzzz chieah

  • chris martin from coldplay has said a-ha had a huge influence on his band.great compliment indeed.

  • i love this tune! have they split?

  • People! It is Keane that sounds like A-HA!

    A-HA started in 1980s!

    This song is very nice!

    Actually like all songs from A-HA!:-)

    Glad that bought tickets to their last consert 04.12.2010!

  • Great song and great video! Hadn't seen it before.

  • I didn't know they were still performing and making music. Is this cd available here in the USA?

  • A-ha voces são demais muito obrigado por existirem e fazer minhya vida mais feliz!

    A-ha Forever!!!!

  • Take

    On

    Meee

  • What a voice!!!! 20+ years later and they still sound so great!

  • on les attends en FRANCE

  • It's a pity they're about to break up, as announced recently. By the way, am I the only one who thinks they sound a bit like Keane?

  • That Chaplin geezer does sound a bit like Morten.

    The problem for a-ha is that they are being compared to Keane & Coldplay. It's great that they have these modern bands being fulsome about their work but FOTM (single) is waaay too much like Coldplay for me.

    A-ha need to do other things with their lives, their passion as a band has gone, so has the creativity & all the hallmarks of their brilliance.

    When a music critic says that Take That are rockier than a-ha, you know it's time to quit!

    Zip

  • well, zipster, I will state that being "rockier" than Take That is not a needed goal. Even though I think that's silly, it doesn't matter - there's more ethereal types of music than just ROCK. They are who they are, and they sound fantastic. You can hear it in the production, and for his age, he sounds amazing. I know many a singer that hit 40 & lost their high range. He can still do it, maybe not half as good as when he was 25, but is done with skill & the writing is great! sorry!

  • Nop...Keane sound like them...hehehe

    Yo, i've thought it too... :)

  • nice to see their still as good as when i first heard them years ago

  • I LOVE MORTEN

  • ..SSS..nice song and very melody music ..it will get of course the music start of radio network ..'cause well it 's adapted of those type---he's always perverse in his video ..as a rebus ??sweet voice very romantic --

  • I'm waiting for a-ha in Tokyo Live

    Nov.11.25 .2009

  • Listened to the CD on their site and this a very odd choice for a single.. There are MUCH MUCH better. Makes me wonder if the record company thougt this was more mainstreem and forced it.. But errrr isnt the reason we loved A-ha because they were not mainstream?? They stood out with voice and electronic sound.. Bummer!

  • Blyatttt!!! Ya na koncert hochu. Ne poluchaetsya poehat iz-za shkoli, tvoyu mat!!! No ia bila na Madonne ;)

  • Not as good as their 80's sounds. They've gone abit modern guitarish. 4/10.

  • I`m goes to concert of a-ha!!!Soon!Yeah!

  • They still sound so good.

  • Go Norway :D

  • ii iubesc :x

  • it was great to see them back, there are still more to come, Aqua, Backstreet Boys, A1, all i know is that the 90s band were back, the leftovers from 2000-2004 are also back. 2009 was the year of comebacks!

  • he's still so handsome

  • i love a-ha

  • i already downloaded thsi new cd like 3 weeks ago....they can do no wrong. so nice to see they r still creating great music all these yrs later.

    michael

  • brilliant song and amazing video!

  • Yay :D Norway ;P MY COUNTRY ! :))

  • That song is cool!

  • Buenaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! ... from Formosa, Argentina, DND

  • A-ha forever!!!

  • Achmed the dead terrorist ;)

    The Video is just beautiful <3

  • at 1:36 Morton's Honda Prius breaks down and he proceeds to dream about how great oil is.

  • Never heard about Honda Prius :)

  • That chorus sends shivers up my spine! Great, Great song

  • This is the reason why A-ha is such a great band. They were great in the 80's, 90's and also today. Long live!

  • Didn't like this first time I heard it on Jonothan Ross show. It's really grown on me - gonna get new album soon as can. I can't believe how many years ago I used to listen to them!

  • What a voice! What a chords!

    A perfect combination of sounds!

    Long life to A-ha!!!

    biladd RJ

  • Ah well... looks like me & zippy are the villians once again... getting our comments removed & such... and all we were trying to say is that this is a 'weak' single for A-HA to be releasing at this point in their careers. Hope the next single's better :S

  • the greates song alive today 2009, lyrics is awesome just like the 80's rock on a-ha!! elmer, from japan

  • A-ha forever!

  • love love love love

  • I absolutely love this song. I love A-ha.

  • So good to see them back. Hope they bring out more like their older songs too.

  • Ffoot of the mountain is a symbolism, contemplation of greatness, admiring something with a sense of completion. I think they are trying to mix ideas of love, peace of mind and nature some kind of neo-romanticism.

  • It's just a pop song: they're trying to mix some melodic jingles with meaningfully meaningless lyrics.

  • I am so pissed off I missed the signing in london, cant wit to see them later in yr

  • Great song. Great to have the boys back

  • This song is absolutely brilliant. I can't get it out of my head! The chorus is so uplifting. It's just a superb pop song!!

  • It's only me, or the video is just great? What's wrong with it? I love it.

  • Don't analyse lyrics etc - just enjoy a nice pop song that is a bit Keane-like yes, or A-ha back in time also yes.

    Looking forward to seeing them in Manchester now...

  • what do the other 2 guys say ?

  • 'Alright, mate!'

  • Notice the other two band members in the car that pulls up alongside Morten and then more visibly outside the cafe as he enters

  • The music is good, but the lyrics and the video are weird. And why would you want to stay at the foot of a mountain? And what has coastline got to do with a mountain?

  • I find this song quite good, yet not among the best in the new album. Riding the crest, the bandstand ( even if it feels a little..weak at first..) and Mother Nature goes to heaven are truly great songs.

  • come on Zip - we know you love the song and the album:) Number 11 now on the Bilboard Europen list. Go and buy the album and get drunk - its friday:)

  • Good analysis A-ah ah ah

    we always want to live upper into the mountain LOL

  • LeftHandedGun08,

    I'm 36 and you having a go at my looks has been the best fun I've had for a long time. far better than having to endure FOTM anymore.

    Oh, and for any impatial readers....do check out LeftHandedGun08's photo....

    Now, if I lose that competition I really will get that face-lift you seem to be implying I need....;)

    Zip

  • Nice new song after some time. Takes me back to the best of the 80's and reminds of of today's great bands as KEANE. Don't mean to bring up any discussions really. I regret some viewers feel this songs lacks soul. On the contrary, I believe it has all the soul missing in big quantities of todays music and I do like many new bands but...

    Video is truly great.

  • getzippy, this is the sort of music I'm into.

    and this is a perfect song for A Ha, When I First heard it, i was like, this is a awesome song, who sings it, then i started listening to it on here.

    what a song.

    don't know why people are having a go at this awesome song, A Ha doesn't have to remake songs in the past, they make different ones.

  • Morton is sooo gawjusssss :d an lukiin amaziin for his ageeee, favouriteee 80's band, LUV U A-HA xx

  • Mags had a Norwegian troll in the going live launch for Stay On These Roads that looked a lot like you.Sorry the troll was far better looking.

  • getzippy you keep on & on & on & on & on & on & on & on & on & on & on & on & on aaaaaaaaaaaaa-hhhhhhh is that the time! how bad this song is!!!! SO WHY KEEP COMING BACK.Seems your a bit of pain in the ass & need to get some weight loss & a hair transplant! just hoe old are you anyway?

  • Wonderfoul song !!!!xD

  • d3anparry, This Single's Alright, I Like It, Whats Wrong With It, It's An Awesome Piece Of Music.

    Dissing A Ha Now Are We, Your Not In Charge Of Them, They Can Make Their Own Music.

  • I luv this, heard it forst on J ross show, Brill

  • what a song a-ha are back baby, still the best band ever along with u2. Cant wait till nov watchting them in nov.

  • Absurd statement

  • Did anyone hear the radio2 live show yesterday?They did a Depesh Mode song.They were superb live.However i am worried about this album & will buy it tomorrow.I have heard 1 or 2 tracks & am undecided about the album.

  • I heard it, it was on at 2 am for me, it was worth it though.

  • Thank God!!! They finally back...I love them!!!

  • pfuhuhu...XDXDXD fun..(;

  • I think this track is superb! I've been fairly dismissive of Aha in the past but this really shows their brilliant songwriting skills and the fact they're still producing music like this proves they've definately got something. I'm tempted to go and see them in Nov.

  • Wow, I thought a-ha was dead. To be fair, I never really showed interest enough to listen to more than "Take On Me", but I guess I just assumed they were one of those "One Hit Wonder, Then Die" bands. It's pretty cool seeing them still around, I like this track! :D

  • Best buy a time machine then

  • Thanx so much 4 this i appreciate what you do :-) Regards Neil age 41 & abit :-)

  • Hi guys !! Dont forget Jonathan Ross Tonight ! Live & Radio 2 on Saturday 25th @ 3pm with Dermot.If you have not heard a-ha live you don't know what's Happening :-) Look to the future & not the past.

  • A Ha were always that bit different than the rest of their contemporaries when they first came on to the scene all the way back in the mid 80's. They had that extra quality. I for one am glad to see them back and on top of their game. It's a great track!

  • I love this track, cant stop singing it. I got my concert tickets today to see them in November. I'm so excited already. These guys are amazing. x x x

  • one of my favourite song:)

  • Å, den er så fin : D

  • Ja den er det...

  • Excelent...welcome A ha!!!...from Formosa, Argentina, DND

  • love it =)

  • the sex arrow , i agree

  • amazing song ... but more amazing ..WHY DOES MORTEN HARKET NOT AGE ??? He still looks so young !!! What is his secret ? Eat fish and sing high notes ? Amazing.

  • Stay slim less greasy and you'll stay younger until 70's like Paul Mc Cartney too! vegetarian, perhaps!

  • Brilliant use of unusually simple chords and a mega hook line. Sounds just like the old Morten, having never been away. Hope they have as much success as Take That.

  • does anyone else think that Morten Harket has a look of patrick swaze about him now? comment on it

  • Thiught exactly the same!

  • omg yes!! Ive noticed this for a while now too!!

  • 2 decades and these guys still sound [and look] so great!

    And the lyrics seem to get simpler and yet deeper.

    A-ha can always be counted to deliver great stuff.

  • what an inspirational melody & lyrics. simply a blessing...

  • loved them for the past 20 years! glad they're back on the much deserved spotlight (long overdue, though).

  • But we could live by the foot of the mountain

    love that part, norway pwns!

  • Love the song!

    Very moving..

  • I'm very glad to know A-HA

  • brilliant, soulful - buy it !!!

  • Oops, didn't mean to sound pretentious! this lovely song just affected me that way!

  • Got to say more, yeah this feels really soulful, even spiritual, - it's very much of 'now' and where we want the world to go.

  • They really know how to touch the peoples soul. Great song!!!!

  • brilliant lvoed these in the 80's and its great to see a new release from them, its a shame they were away for so long, c'mon morten, voice is still amazing

  • goood song

  • seen them first in 1987 in belfast , then in 89 and 01 and seeing them again this year in the o2 in london in nov !!!! so much a part of my life !

  • so wonderful!

  • es emocionante volver a escuchar una nueva produccion de esta legendaria banda morten como siempre mantiene una impecable voz marcando su estilo haciendo una musica suave que llega a mis oidos a mi alma por siempre seran mi mejor banda musical i love forever

  • Without a DOUBT you cannot put down a good ARTIST, if their good they will forever SHINE ! A-ha music is the BEST !

  • I absolutely bloody love this song, and I love Morten Harket's voice. But how come only he appears in this video; what about the other two?
