a-ha - The Bandstand

[MrPlaystationboy]

I love how a-ha decided to make there last album in a true SynthPop style. just like it all started. dont get me wrong "Lifelines" and "Analogue" are awesome album's. but this is fantastic

[therealMrMackem]

6 people missed like, clumsy

[comundson]

@therealMrMackem good one! =}

[JIMNNICKY]

A-Ha=Brilliant!!!

[Bman86674]

Just submitted a request to i-tunes to offer newer aha- all they have is the 80's stuff - you cant beat "summer moved on" "analogue" "celice" and of course "The Bandstand". Such an undiscovered band - at least Europe can still enjoy them! Wish the US. would get on board!

[cisco18100]

WERE COULD I FIND THE BANDSTAND IN ITUNES I JUST CANNOT FIND IT AT ALL HELP ME PLEASE!!

[mchaitman]

increible aha ,,,,,,,,, de lo mejor!!!!

[AgnieskaVa]

this sound like a 80s music style but i realize it just a new song this year wtf....cool.

[LightningMaple]

Sometimes I just get angry at the world because I wasn't born on the 80's. It would be so cool. The music today is just horrible. They use the near naked women body just to attract more people, they make up teen minds. Fame whores, hate them.

Sorry for bad english.

[93gnco]

@LightningMaple es la decada mas linda...mucha musica.

[comundson]

@LightningMaple don't be angry - just think, we'll age before you...besides, I wish we had things back then than we do now. When it comes to music, you're still able to listen to what we were listening to - not much has changed. Our clothes were a lot brighter and loud..LOL! it just sucks the US didn't appreciate the talent...love this country but that's what I wish...I was either living in Europe just so I could've have seen more of A-ha in concert...or my country knew better talent ~~

[LightningMaple]

@comundson Well, I think you're right. I don't need to be angry, but still your argument doesn't change my mind about living in the 80s >:D

Thank you. :)

[cisco18100]

I DEFENITELY AGREE WITH U!!

[MrJakis39]

WHY!? Why the band broke up? It was the best in my life!

[zbv500]

not only one of the best songs by a-ha, but also one of world's best! this is one of their songs which touches the soul....

[dinchen782]

i love it!!!!!!!

[VictoriaLovesDrawing]

Why would anyone dislike this A-HA are amazing!!!!!

[wiilover07]

This song is full of win. :)

[TheGermanMJ94]

One of my favourite a-ha songs!

[biggyshack]

There is not one band on earth that does not owe a huge amount of debt to A-Ha.

And yess, I'm looking at you Arctic Monkeys...

[laine22sept]

Essa música marcou muito o show em SP,adoro ela é bem a cara da banda.

[stavrap1]

A-ha, most Synth music than ever.

[MOSESCAT69]

I was lucky enough to see them on their farewell tour, got scammed on the tickets, but, never mind. I first saw them at age 17,and had a fantastic time at age 40!!!!!!! Loved every minute x x x x x xx x xx x x Sigh, how time flies........

[VictoriaLovesDrawing]

LOVE THIS SONG :p <3

[009firefox]

Pal Waaktar-Sayoy is a genius in composing. Also Magne. A-ha forever.

[Minorellen]

as the years will go by...They will be recognized in the way they really deserved to .

Maybe more than The beatles. I am sure

[tsvdo]

Best band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[radioelargentino]

I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet....!!!

[jagdflieger100]

it's quite ironic because I love Coldplay and A-ha and in December 2005 I went to see Coldplay at Earls Court and now I am going to A-ha five years after next week.

[247otaku]

@jagdflieger100 Youre in for an awesome display and a trip down memory lane - Saw them in Manchester on Saturday. Absolutely brilliant.

[jagdflieger100]

@247otaku thankyou I like forward to it

[Bethfromwigan]

@jagdflieger100 thats funny because december 2005 was the first time i ever saw a-ha live ! : ) . I've seen them a lot since then too.

[Bethfromwigan]

@jagdflieger100 what did you think of the concert ? : ) .

[jagdflieger100]

@Bethfromwigan brilliant

[retsiembrU]

@henrycaville

sure, and even lots more ;)

[retsiembrU]

2 months from now,

[sissina73]

@retsiembrU

[dallaorosa]

Just went to the last concert of aha in japan. sad to think I won't be able to see them again. :/

[SkullyRanger]

listen to aha while on walks

[civitagioia1]

quando sento loro niente è piu' paragonabile a lle emozioni che sanno scatenarmi.Vi adoro.Giulia.

[littlevilblackbunnie]

i think aha likes europe better than the us lol. they most recent ablum that's on itunes is from 2000. it's summer moved on. i really want butterfly,butterfly, and the foot of the mountain ablum. anyone know when it's supposed to come out???

[kg7241]

i went to the last concert in La

[visibilitydetermined]

LOVE. <3 THIS. ^ SONG. ♫  lol =]

[getzippy]

Hiya,

You may be interested in this interesting UK press article about a-ha's retirement:

w w w.music-news c o m a-ha retire after 25 years!

Cheers,

Fabio

[duran43]

love this song gonna see them tommorow

[rkt739]

@duran43 toronto or chicago?

[jhcamelo]

I think that A-ha is one the best thing's 80's.... They're incridible... forever!

[ramaskab]

Myliu A-ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

[dettifossclub]

No video, just music for probably the best song on the new a-ha album

[TheStilllovingyou]

Die trennen sich? Bitte nicht!!

[INFSI99]

best song on album by a country mile, should be relesed as the fairwell single, sure im not alone in thinking that

[planeviewer]

5/5 keyboard tune

[Philosophspatriot]

So eine tolle Band !

Endlich hat mal jemand das komplette Album hochgeladen :-p

[LuckyAntenna]

A fat song from Aha again

[camouflagemaxi]

ich liebe a-ha!

[davifromBRA]

WoW** Mto DEZ**

[robbie780222]

There is NO decent radio station in Chicago, so NO wonder A-ha is not popular here, They play s**t all the times, no variety of music, the same songs all the tmes that are already boring:(

[Dutix]

This song remains the most played in my music library.

[trader197]

A Ha must be one of the most undiscovered and underrated bands ever. I would rate them far ahead of anything Coldplay has ever done, for example.

[trizack]

Well in the US they are very underated but in SOuth America, Europe and Japan they are pretty popular especially in their home country of Norway.

[trader197]

yes, that is true, the US has missed out.

[Aetius76]

Coldplay has stated that their #1 influence is a-ha. Realize that.

[ZackenZicke]

@trader197 What the f*** is Coldplay?

[xMirrorfacex]

@trader197

i really cant understand why you compare a-ha to coldplay... it's completely different music and both are doing very well in their genres!

[trader197]

@xMirrorfacex  I have nothing against Coldplay, they have put out some good stuff. Just a matter of personal preference that for me, a-ha is light years better. For you it may be different.

[xMirrorfacex]

@trader197 no ;) i adore a-ha :) just think its an other kind of music compared to what coldplay are doing. i really love both of them :) its okay ;)

[009firefox]

@trader197 I am so with you.

[rooney1142]

@trader197 Are u kidding me? Underrated? In Norway, when I was at the last concert, the 21'o clock news were just about the concert?

[BlueSilverStars]

@rooney1142 They probably mean underrated in the US. Nobody here knows any song by A-ha other than Take on Me, sadly.

[pranavc]

This song was a grower for me. Didn't like it much at first but am in love with it now. Can't wait to hear it LIVE on May 7 in NYC. Incidentally, the song is getting high-rotation airplay on "Radio Creme Brulee" - a Boston internet radio station that plays current pop/rock music from both sides of the Atlantic alongside hits and forgotten gems from the last 3 decades. To listen, type "radiocremebrulee" in your google search field and it should be the 1st result. Vote for "bandstand" when played.

[harrow233]

ye this is my favorite 2nd im off to see them at wembley in november im most looking to this one and take on me

[pranavc]

I think the one I'm most looking forward to is "Summer Moved On" - especially the bit where Morten holds a note for 16 seconds.

[LanceInAustralia]

So many people are saying they were introduced to this song in a plane. Me too! I was flying Singapore Airlines across the Indian Ocean at night.

[pranavc]

The entire "Foot of the mountain" album was made available for listening on the Swissair flight I took from Zurich to Mumbai in December.

[M55Mb]

Sonnblick1978

I agree, why haven't a-ha released this a singel. Instead they pick out the boring songs, like they have done on their latest album. Unlike in the 80's when a-ha knew what was best. Not surprisngly they were bigger in the 80's too. So Im asking, why don't a-ha understand wich song to release any more?

[pranavc]

A-ha doesn't make the decision of singles to be released. The record label (i.e. Universal Music) does.

[Sonnblick1978]

Why ... why ... why not a single!!? I´ll never understand it!

[retsiembrU]

i LOVE a-ha more than my wife

[retsiembrU]

oops i forgot, i dont have any xD

but hey i still LOVE them! 8)

[pedjazoo]

@retsiembrU: haha brilliant! I feel the same!

[genskiff]

@retsiembrU LOL

[hobbylos94]

@retsiembrU

each to their on, but in fact, i think that's ain't good man.

no one deserves this.

especially a WIFE

[009firefox]

@hobbylos94 Hey! Relax - I bet this guy hasn't even got a girlfriend- he is just trying to get some attention.

[teamradfordtv]

@retsiembrU i love a-ha more than my husband.

[MissStaleyHere]

@teamradfordtv then you got ome serious problems. Mental perhaps? "I love a band more than my husband". I suggest you tell your husband how to satisy your needs, or find a new one. Geez.. I'm ashamed. this is sad..

[teamradfordtv]

@MissStaleyHere it was a response to retsiembrU 's comment. Just a joke ;-)  But my hubby does put up with my a-ha obsession.

[retsiembrU]

@teamradfordtv

lol,

let them, it is obvious....,

they really dont know me like you do !

( so ...! )

[ikelleners]

@MissStaleyHere This what I fear on women, if I truly love a girl, the girl can love something else more then she should love back instead.......

They say they want true love, but not even recognise, when stand right in front of passionat eyes.

What they want eventually is either cash or just to `party & screw around`

Instead of a loving human and care, a future...

[MissStaleyHere]

@ikelleners woah chillax man, sounds like you've had bad experiences with girls... o.o Not all of them are like that you know :P

[teamradfordtv]

@retsiembrU i love a-ha more than my husband. You can see my piano covers of a-ha at teamradfordtv :-)

[ahafan64]

Is there any guitar heads out there that can send me the chords to this song. It sounds like a five or six chord song. Chords to be played with or without a capo. Thanks

[pedjazoo]

@ahafan64: hey man, you still need the chords?? I play piano, Id be able to give you the chords:)

[eccofish]

@ahafan64

Very quickly done, Approx right i think.

Opening riff: Gm-Eb-Cm

Verse: Gm-Eb-Cm-F-Ab-Cm-Gm-Gm/F-Eb-Ab­-Gm-F

Chorus: Gm-Eb-Cm-F-Ab-Cm-Gm-Gm/f-Eb-Cm­-Ebmaj-D+

Maybye transpose to guitar.........

[mullus2004]

dieses lied ist der hammer, vorsicht suchtgefahr :-)))

[slaphaddalztick]

They have without a doubt reached the pinnacle of their achievements with this album.

[Jackssie]

This band is sounding better than ever

[meddafling]

i listened to this one yesterday when i was flying over the australian desert on the plain to sydney...

love it <3

[gorbahandyman]

Air New Zealand was it?

I listened to this album on one of their flights in December flying from Australia to Canada... what a tune!

[meddafling]

@gorbahandyman

i listened to it on singapore airlines... while the sunrise over the australien desert... quite spectacular ;)

[mastercief1]

i have meet he thats playing on the keyboard!!!!

[MelissaJayne1973]

This should be a single NOW!!!!!

[xErlendr]

i know these ppls. they are from my country<3 :)

[poschikeks]

my father knew mortens sister before a-ha got famous :D

he meant that he could have ssen morten but didn´t recognize it was him ;D

[howei92]

lol haha

[SuperDvd100]

Depeche Mode are a good synth band, but A-HA are more better! Go a-ha no one's good like you! You are the best in the universe!!! siete megagalatticamente insuperabili! da Sarah con immensa ammirazione!!!!

[MohawkAdam]

Love this track :)

[Tostig68]

yes it is my favourite on the album...I hope they will reform in a few years when the money gets short. I just wish they would write more tunes...it's so sad when it seems they had so much more music in them

[larsexwow]

Probably the best song on the album "Foot of the mountain". Does anybody think the same?

[defenceraya]

Yes this is one of the best in this album

[trizack]

@defenceraya I'd even say it is one of their best songs ever.

[ZZAPOFSCC]

So fuxxing great! Sounds like Depeche early 90´s. Clean sound, with good lyrics - lovely for an old synthlover ike me!

[uginoforever]

qualcuno sa dirmi se verranno a suonare in Italia? Dove? Quando? E quale numero telefonico contattare per l'acquisto dei biglietti? rispondetemi qui su youtube please!!! hoping sarah

[uginoforever]

Magnifico pezzo!!!sono italiana e sull'account di mio figlio esprimo ciò che provo quando ascolto i mitici a-ha! sono l'elisir di gioventù!!! ma al solo pensiero che si scioglieranno e non potrò più ascoltare pezzi nuovi mi viene giù un coccolone!!love from sarah the a-ha's forever.

[trizack]

Damn we need more music like this..Hopefully other bands see this.

[jag81uk]

went to watch them in bham they were class as usal, makes the po music of today loook ordinary. Will miss a-ha

[mistyred8]

My favorite from the album!

[tomialpha]

I am optimistic and hope they don't think seriously the splitting up.

They want probably sell more records and concert tickets.

If they stop quality pop music will completely die.

[migokalle]

You're so right... sadly enough. I know someone who set me up with some backstage tickets to one of their more recent consert, and I told them exactly what you said. It's really sad to see my favorite band going apart like this, but hey... this isn't the first time they've "split", so eh... maybe they'll decide to get back together sometime...

[GameZtarMusic]

Sorry man but I dont think so. They said they wannted to end when they are on top like now. Pluss the wanna spend there time with there familys, politics, and picnic. But we can always hope

[MMoute]

@migokalle You know, they might do like a lot of bands out there do - split up and then come back in 10 years or so for a few concerts for old time's sake. But I think it's like GameZtarMusic said, they're DONE. So sad.

I'm thankful I got to see them twice and will get to see them one last time on May 10th in Toronto.

[Sonnblick1978]

Absolutely fantastic song!! I´ll never understand why it´s not released as a single ... Please think about it!!

[tomialpha]

I think all songs from the album are fantastic and each should be released as a single and be NR.1. on the hitlists.

In a normal world at least.

[Sozzles]

So glad they'e stuck to their roots.... loving the new album <3

[snowballrambo]

If they incorporated 80s sounds deliberately to stage a full circle career end, I am impressed that the result is that good.

[etme100]

Release THIS as a single! But DO NOT remix!

[Soerland]

Great song!

[MelissaJayne1973]

Come on!!! release this as a single.

This is the one.

This will blow everyone away who hasn't heard it yet.

[khazane2]

wn medio tema :D

[retsiembrU]

can i bring all my magazines, here help me, hold this lolz

Great song

EPIC 10/10

[JTucker3]

Heard it once, got stuck.

still listening, i love this tune from start to end.

A-ha has always been top notch, but this one just puts the B back in Breathtaking.

A-ha <3

[manu5327]

J'adore ce groupe et ce nouvel album est génial.

Peut-on espérer que cet album sorte en France, merci ^^

[MsJipke]

It's like I'm back in the 80's where it all begins with a ha. I was that teenager who has put lots of posters and pictures in my bed room of a ha. I feel myself that teenager again, love their new album foot of the mountain.

[lfclotr]

One of the best A-ha songs ever.

[flarg26]

i love this song the tunes amazing im always hummingit under my breath. even my dad likes it and he's well i wont say it incase he has an account lol! XD

[uujdjhdjeudhjjshjeh]

lol

[MsJipke]

love it love it what a good song is this!!!

[leamgem]

A-ha featuring Depeche Mode! :-)

[9Nineman9]

i like it very much i like the rythym

[jjgcplp08]

Un des meilleur titre de A-ha!!!

[lizs004]

Interesting. Good opening. I'd say they've returned to that 80's sound but evolved it maybe to not sound it too out of their time. Like Depeche Mode, they continued making the songs they wanted to make but changed a little the sounds used. Brilliant.

[retsiembrU]

this song i dedicate this to my lovely friends in St Petersburg,

Mary-Ann and her b.f.

a-ha neon glow shining down on us,

dont wait up for us

dont wait up for us ;)

love from brat

<3

[aftff]

Are there some interesting remix-versions of this song out there already?

[apostolis1968]

i love it... it has something of a-has passion!

[vickmatell]

Coming Soon in my cover's Channel jejeje

This song is fantastic, Pure a-ha Sound

[ekanbull]

Just love that they returned to the "80´s"

Fantastic album.

[MYDREAMCOLOURS]

I LOVE IT..! <3

[shauntbarry]

Killer chorus.. Just like the old A-ha

[malawihenk75]

Am i the only who hears a bit of Depeche Mode on A-ha's new album?

[sadamski72]

I do too..that's why I like it so much!

[jotenko]

YES YES YES. I hear a little bit of DM a little bit of Coldplay a little bit of Keane.

Great album.

(From the greatest DM fan alive :-) )

[ShaunAndrewUK]

lol, It's like all the bands from england have made this...

[lizs004]

Hey! I'm the one who's the greatest DM fan ever!

[tgirljj]

Literally the A-ha i Grew up with and continue to Completely LOVE!!WOW guys..you simply to me are the greatest musicians of all time

[Spottedear]

Quite good!

[Thanksandy]

actually think it's one of their best in a while

[tomialpha]

Not their best song, but very cool.

I don't like that the intro is repeated so much, at the end is already a bit boring.

But the the chorus is really awesome.

[spanglehoff]

HAHA..THIS REEKS OF AWESOMENESS!

[hgislan]

I LOVE this song - I can't get it out of my head and have just downloaded it onto my phone as my new ringtone!!!

[Eclatdesoie]

I love this song !!! <333

[spillandambience]

this should have been the single, its got that impact unique to them only, and its so awesomet theyve gone back proudly to doing whats best! this is such a grabber of a song, like the sun always shines on tv...like a punch in the guts, delicious and so moreish!!! mmm

[dennismilne4810]

Classic a-ha.This song is to cool 4 school. This album will be the biggest a-ha selling album in a long time.Nothing less than they deserve.

[theBESTelvis]

i agree dennismilne48.

FANTASTIC ALBUM, THERE BEST SINCE HUNTING HIGH AND LOW.

A MASTERPIECE

[tomialpha]

I don't think this is their best since Haunting High and Low, but really good.

I like every A-ha album, so I can't decide which is their best, sometimes I prefer their slower pieces with a lot of pianos and strings, like on Analogue.

[KalleAusBerlin]

i wish i had that INSTRUMENTAL

[LiliMars1]

Can't stop singing along...

Stunning!!!!
