  • ME ACOMPAÑARON TODA MI ADOLECENCIA Y AHORA CON 34 AÑOS,ME SIGUEN ENCANTANDO TODOS SUS TEMAS, SON UNA BANDA MUY ESPECIAL!!!!LOS QUIERO!!!!

  • a-ha made perfect songs!!!

  • This man always looks young LOL!

    amazing song BTW!

  • Here in Australia , they are called a one hit wonder. What a joke. What do you guys overseas call our Cold Chisel - a no hit wonder maybe. How many of A-ha's songs have gone to No.1 around the world , 10 , 11 , more?

  • Is a pleasure hear a good music like that,best band ever ! 80's was best time... only who lived knows........ is my opinion.... thank for this awesome post !

  • I only have a thing to say about A-Ha and all their work witch is WOW thanks A-Ha to be one of the greastest bands in the world! Why dont exist no more bands like A-Ha and Tears for Fears and Cuting Crew and many more why can anyone tell me? Please!

  • the best

  • we in Canada have a group called the Rankins.. lyrics of this song sound like something they would do.. The Rankins like A-Ha were so under-rated ~!!!!!.. so much unappreciated talent .. keep going A-Ha

  • Saw A-ha last night in NYC! GREAT SHOW! I really was blown away and have seen some really good bands in concert like U2, Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Oasis, Van Halen, etc. These guys were amazing. I am just bummed this song is not on iTunes!

  • This is an amazing song with a great video, it is a shame that they are splitting up next year on December 4th 2010, I am seeing them at the O2 in November 2009 and hopefully taking some offical photos of them for the event, crossing my fingers and hopefully when their world tour hits the U.K again in June 2010,

  • Another hit! Wonderful song! Aha forever!

  • Yet another great song from the A-Ha boys, awesome!

  • a-ha has meant the world to me. I can relate to this music and lyrics. I wish to go to Norway in this life. I had seen Morten, Mags, and Pal in Buffalo, Ny when i was a teen. i will always love them.

  • a-ha's music will always mean so much to me. I had seen them in Buffalo, NY when i was a teen. Unbelievable concert. One of these days i will go to Norway.This group has touched my life. I will always love them.

  • how to download this clip?

  • is it released in Danemark dune mors ? Lool like Dansk sea ... I went there once.

    Beautiful and poetic! Love it.

  • A-ha er norske=)

  • Obrigado amiga "ciberbruja" está lindo

    Chrisma-Sampa Brasil

  • I love this song! Morten is insanely hot in this video. I love him driving. Would die for a lift hehehehee

  • Os caras estão de volta em grande estilo!

    The guys are back in great style!

    Greetings from São Paulo,Brazil!!!

  • i love this song....

  • Yay :P Norway !!!! ;DD My Country !!!! :)))

  • In my opinion, is a great begin of the music, when the singer begin sing, naa :x

  • Fantastic !

  • A-ha are always great band !!! the years passed, but A-ha not changed. Morten is always, for me and the 80's génération, the sexy man. I love this single

    Thanks for posted

  • Has always & will always be a Fan a Band that has stood the test of Time!

  • Morten looks like Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing in this video

  • Thanks, i have say that once and it' was no understanding. I have posted one video about this, look it

  • Morten is ageless...or maybe he ages gracefully ! i'm glad they are back!  nice song! :)

  • I think Morten is so fit in this video, especially when he is kneeling down in the sand..fwooor!!!!!

  • Can Morten be any more beautiful!!?Great song too:-)

  • Lmfao.....KEANE are fucking horse shite.

  • i really like the melody.

  • Maurice, sadly you are mistaken. Both KEANE and COLDPLAY have publically acknowledged being influence by A-ha. Stop banging on, who cares? just enjoy the music and go and buy a Keane T'shirt.

  • Why do you discuss about inspirations?

    Everyone inspires everyone today, so of course, A-ha is not exeption either.

    I think the effect of A-ha on Keane is bigger than reverse.

    I mean A-ha is much better, Keane and Coldplay must survive more than 20 years too and then we can make a comparison.

  • A-ha are still the best around today and thats a fact, what a song cant wait till november in bham when me and my bro go watch them and then meet them afterwards vip paid £600 for the priviledge

  • This is an epic pop song. Up there with Summer's Moved On.

  • He's still so hot! :D

  • Exactly one month before the start of the 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics berlin 2009™, the television stations ARD and ZDF presented their concept for the television broadcast of the worlds largest sports event of the year in Berlin: The TV images from Berlin will be broadcasted in more than 190 countries around the world. The Norwegian cult band a-ha provides the official World Championships song, the current hit Foot of the Mountain.

  • great song,good to see them back ,as good as ever,more aha please :o)

  • Amazing song.....

  • Absolutely adore these guys since "take on me" They deserve more recognition . This track is amazing i cant stop singing to it. Cant wait to see them at birmingham in November. x x x x x x x x x

  • OMG, the song is so amazing! I heart them so much. Video is beyond wonderful. I love the black flying liquid balls in the end.

  • Proud to be Norwegian!

  • Man! this dude is 50! and still rocking. Way to go Morten, this song is awesome.

  • Hello! Welcome back A-Ha!

  • i dont listen to Aha at all , but this song is in fact really nice :)

  • welcome back!

  • latest 3 album form them ( early 200 till now) was awesome melodic and mellow it's get better and better .. but how come (in this century)they didn't bigger than coldplay or even keane i means for young listeners!! why why why

    minor earth major sky, summer move on, cozy prison..etc

    come one .... god help us for save good music

  • Nice song but they did listen to Keane a lot lately, however...nothing wrong with that.

    By the way: I am 39 and I grew up listening to A-ha but again: they were obviously inspired by the sound of Keane.

  • Nope it's Keane that has been listning to a-ha over the years, not the other way around :-)

  • That wasn't the point, you can clearly hear that A-ha is inspired by the sound of Keane. Keane are known for using a piano as their lead instrument. A-ha are from origin a synthesizer orientated pop band, which is great music too.

    (Listen to the albums Hunting high and low, Scoundrel days, Stay on these roads)

  • a-ha has from their 1990 album East of the Sun west of the moon to Memorial Beach ( 1993 ), Minor Earth Major Sky ( 2000 ), Lifelines ( 2002 ) to and including their 2005 album Analogue used piano and keyboard both on albums and live sets. It's been a long time since a-ha has used synths and sequenzers. ( Which they do on this recent album )

  • Keane are fans of a-ha and of course inspired by them - a-ha are also inspired by Keane and other band for that sake. Mags talked about this on the SKY news in UK. This album is sooooo good !!! a-ha is predicted to reach number 1 og 2 next sunday at the album charts in UK!!!!!

  • Doubtful that a-ha will reach nr. 1 in the UK. The gap betwen spot nr. 1 album sales and a-ha's current spot is a little to big i think. But hopefully 2 or 3. Atleast in the top 5.

  • Just staying positive but to beat M Jackson can be a hard thing. Cross fingers :) They deserve this for all its worth.

  • Oh, you are from Norway and tough. (-;

    Especially the album Analogue, which was released AFTER "Hopes and Fears" is definitely inspired by the SOUND of Keane and not the other way around. The discussion is really funny cause I do like A-ha a lot.

  • Foot of the mountain, Riding the crest and Sunny Mystery are songs influenced by Keane. And sorry to say...the songs by Keane are a lot stronger then the A-ha albums. The last really good A-ha album was "Stay on these roads".

  • Before I forgot and maybe this will make it alright for you...The latest album by Keane is definitely inspired through music back in the eighties. The album must be inspired by the music of A-ha.

    Is this opinion ok for you? (-;

  • " akkiles08 " : That is BS. a-ha never oficially split in 1993. They simply decided to take a pause. A pause that became alot longer than they had planned. However they have released 4 studio albums sice 2000 + greatest hits album, live album, singles DVD, book and been on several tours. There is no personal reasons why they could'nt tour the US,, when they can tour everywhere else.

  • This is a top tune! glad I fouund it!

  • great song my favourite!!!!!!!!

  • American Hit parade is not fair with great bands including A-HA. They live in a different world, a different planet, i don't know...To hell with Pussycat dolls, beyoncé, and many others "artists". There are some american fans of a-ha here, great! but you are just a drip of water on this ocean called USA. I hope aha make a concert there someday, and i am sure that they'd like to. The band has many fans in Europe, Asia an South America but in USA they're still a ONE HIT BAND for many people.

  • a-ha held a concert last time in the USA in New York in 2005. It was the first time since 1986.

  • verdens best emusic video

  • Absolutely one of the best groups ever not promoted in the US! I have been a fan since they came out, and I wish they would come here for some concerts. They are not played here cuz they aren't hip hop garbage and "C"rap music. This country has lost it's musical values!!!

  • they are from norway

  • Купила 2 билета на концерт в Осло, ураааа! Поедем с подружкой из Риги =))))

  • Stunning! I am witing for someone to bring them in US. My husband would also like tosee them again in concert!

    I don't realy understand why they are not promoted in US...

    Does anyone of you know anything about this?

  • A-ha have had their success in the US during the 80's. The band has a history of disagreement since they split in 1993 . I dont think they would survive a promotion in the US as a band or as remotely friends. Just be glad they got back together and produces anything at all :-)

  • The US however is a very commercial place, and I think that that is the problem that a-ha has with the country. Artistic freedom is very important to the band.

  • How can we bring these people to America???

    It seems impossible...

  • Comment removed

  • Excellent song and video.!!!!

  • mags says "alright mate"

    i really like this song,

    they still sound good,and dont seem to age!!!!!

    24yrs after take on me came out.

    not many bands still going that long.

  • Oh.......their just wonderful !!!

  • Great track... they just keep coming.

  • Nice song:)

  • gut

  • They are back...and this song is so outstanding perfect to me. I love A-HA and looking foward the concerts here in germany

  • Geiler Song:)...Ich mag die Band...!!

  • I love them!

    My favourite band ever!

  • Totally fantastic video. I found a rocknreview site that shows where another band member contributed this song and most of the lyrics. They all do that apparently in the band, do their solo stuff then bring it together. I like the sound, it's catchy, and I think the guys sound as good (and look as good, too, important for us gals to see!) as 20 years ago. Yummy and most importantly, it's nice to have fresh sounds from such creative artists of former decades!

  • My top 10 a-ha songs as follows ( does not include the new album) 1 rolling thunder 2 hunting high and low 3 the swing of things 4 dark is the night 5 the sun always shines on tv 6 shadowside7 celice 8 solace 9 out of blue comes green 10 i,ve been losing you shaowside include cause i heard it last year at the royal albert hall concert.

  • this is soooo really really beautiful!

  • @ stealthrimmer:

    are you sure you didnt bought

    the new cd of Susan Boyle? xD

    just have a little time,

    on a day it falls on its place

    i garantuee you ;)

  • cool

  • Not really mate, it didnt pop- up in my system, i think this clip is original

    there is no clip like this awsome one,

    thats why you get somany minus points

    not from me, so then you know ;)

  • how cool is this?

  • Great to have them back! I love the new album. Top songs like "What there is", "Riding the crest" and "Start the simulator".

  • Great , and the video is made in Hamburg too :D

  • Forever a-ha, por siempre a-ha

  • Oh.......... their just wonderful !!

  • Thanks for share ,great album overall.

  • i lile a-ha very good song

  • their best comeback since summer moved on!and the album is far from their best!

  • I think this is going to be a huge album for them. There are songs on this album that could be easy #1 hits.. the best songs they have recorded since getting back together. But, I will agree that for me "East of The Sun" & "Memorial Beach" are my 2 favorite albums. If they had been promoted in the USA when released A-HA would have never left the music scene in the USA. If you wanted A-HA to be a rock-n-roll band, these were the albums. They were #1 ROCKERS/POP stars! And Morten sizzled then!

  • What a song!! im going to see them later this year in Cologne. Im really straight, but i would turn gay for Morton lol. almost 50 years old but looking so great.

  • Yes...they come back on the TOP.Gratulerer

  • a-ha are amazing...

    all their albums are great....

  • A-ha é classico, que musica linda, que melodia, que letra, é tudo de bom esse novo album, não concigo parar de escultar :)))

    I love A-ha!

  • Great video. I can't make out what Mags says to Morten tho! I l like the bit where Morten makes the sand fly- he seems happier in nature than in the city.

  • hermoso! que mas se puede pedir? una vuelta perfecta

  • 10/10

  • a great comback song from AHA

  • You vil love the rest of the album too! a lot of a-ha moments! one of my favorites is "nothing is keeping you here" make me smile!

  • my favorite band! whats up with morten and the makeup and eyelashes. mixed feelings!

  • the energy :)

  • just amazing , best band there has ever been , there is something about this band that gets under the skin,,,,, the music,

  • most impressed! A-ha have still got it!

  • a-ha is my favourite bad ever and now they have comeback with another wonderful album. What a shame Italy forgot them so long time ago...

  • The man is 50 in september :O

  • it is so amazing... hard to believe

    but it is true

  • Unbelievable, isn't it? I hardly can believe that too... And nobody can deny Morten looks soooo good :)

  • I love them since 1985....

     I wish to se them alive

    please come to Israel

  • I like this band since 2002 when they was in Riga :) It was the biggest concert in Latvia, more than 30000 ppl. Also I was on their rehearsal, it was amazing!!! I was standing near Morten Harket, but didn't have a camera..

  • I wish their label would partner up with it's US division and get this new album out here. I think it would do quite well at AA radio and lighter pop/rock stations

    I'd also love to see them re-release the older albums remastered and put "Minor Earth, Major Sky", "Lifelines", and "Analogue" out here finally

    half of my friends didn;t even know these guys made a record after "Memorial Beach" nbecause they never came out in the US

    sad :-(

  • ultimate pop-BAND!

  • o que posso dizer? Eles são sempre maravilhosos e únicos!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why does all call this a comeback??

    Minor Earth/ Major sky " was a comeback.

    And Analogue was their biggest hit in Germany since "Take on me".

    Besides that the new album isen't a return to synth. pop as some thinks.

    Some of the songs have the old synth. elements but the rest is the same laid back mature pop the have made the since Minor Earth/Major Sky.

    Still looking forward to this release, but like the a-ha rock sound more than their synth. sound.

  • And maybe it is the script of the video if Pal and Magne are not so present.

    I think Nature is the guest of this video and it's WONDERFUL.

  • I agree - everytime a-ha gives out and album its a comeback lol - but look at the positive side - it gives them more attention.

  • Magnifique .

    Morten has a secret of youth. I love all of him: the way he hold hiss head, the way he walks , the way he close his eyes, and his wonderful voice. He's got something: maybe the grace of Gods.

    And what a beautiful music and video !

  • muito massa a-ha forever ....

  • it's very funny how he walks at 2:29-2:32, despite this A-ha is my favorite band!

  • Morten has never been able to walk or stand correct at the scene during conserts for that matter lol :) - I think he has never been able to handle his beatiful body..

  • I'm sorry hahaver and arsalanmasud but why the hell are you so interested in how someones walks on sand.Try walking on sand yourself and if you are ascending up a hill you will walk that way. Fuck me!!! either give the song a thumbs or don't .I've been an a-ha fan since day one and am sick of people discussing this kind of shit!! Say something useful like 'I like the idea behind the video or the productione.t.c It's supposed to be about music not how someone walks on sand or drives a bloody car.

  • where are Mags and Pal??!!

  • my fav band during the 80's, its nice they're back....jon from the philippines

  • I totaly agree with u mate

    i still listen even after 20

    years

    cheers

  • Morten's gay mannerism is very apparent in this video - it's funny how he walks at 2:25...LOL. Dont get me wrong I know he is straight and I've been a fan since 1985. But I am pissed why Pal and Mags are almost excluded from this vid. Avergae video but GREAT ALBUM!

  • love this

    One of the best sounds ever !!

  • Nothing special,this video is very similiar to Summer Moved On. i'm a little bit dissapointed...

  • new cd is just perfect lov ya A-HA

  • Cool new song... nice video too but what's up with the blobs?

  • the new a-ha album is awesome a pure electronic pop master, go to the a-ha website and listen to it all via universal music

  • Great song.. cool music video... love this song.... you just sing along...

  • I love you before, now and FOREVER

    A HA please, come to Spain! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

  • Come back to Riga, Latvia! We're waiting for You, A-Ha! ;) <3

  • Comment removed

  • a-ha lo mejor del mundo!!!!

  • You are the best. The new album is great, the video too. Please come back to Brazil soon.

    I agree with Susana, you are perfect but you should be more warm with fans during the Shows. We love you here in Brazil. Kisses...

  • great job guys....very good....video, lyrics, music......very good job....huummm Morten you're very lovely in the video...bisous

    Sandryn

  • The only thing that's missing for a-ha to be perfect, is more Kindness and warm with fans when they are in concert... i saw them in Chile and i was a little disappointed

  • They let the music speak for them! They do not need to do all kind of crap on the stage!

  • The only thing that's missing for a-ha to be perfect, is more Kindness and warm with fans when they are in concert... i saw them in Chile and i was a little disappointed

  • Erm, don't go then!

  • The Best ever, Great Video, Great Album, Great Comeback !

    We see you on your Tour !

    HIT: Whigfield - Right in the night

  • KINGS OF POP!!!!

  • Amazing video and great song. Foot of the Mountain is a very, very reflexive music.

    A-ha , best band ever. The soundtrack of my life!

  • i love it!

  • This is absolute proof that the band are back and stronger than ever. This song is true A-ha,that is written by Magne,re-structured by Pal and song hauntingly by Morten. I say that because this song was,in it's origional form,a Magne single. The video has obviously had a lot of thought and imagination put into it. I believe this is one of their best pieces of work since the halcyon days of the md to late 80's. To the boys i say "Absolutely brilliant! Go get the number 1 slots!

  • Great group, great song and great comeback... I love you...

  • Love A-ha FOREVER

    A-ha, come to Spain, please, please, please!

  • dommage qu'on voit pas trop Mags et Pal sinon beau clip video qui est stocké...

    rdv pour l'album

  • Nice - very similar to "Summer moved on" with the beach scenes...so these bubbles,,,some kind of mollecular spaceshift?

  • Thank you very much for this video ! Why these bubbles at the end ? And I'm a little bit disappointed that we don't see Mags and Pal a lot.

  • wow, thank you! very beautiful video! but in Italy?When?

  • Super Titel, super Video dazu...

  • Funny, everytime I see the band on TV I feel like a teenager again! ....Welcome back guys - missed you a lot!! Great song, can't wait for the album and the tour!!! CU

  • Thank s for posting !

    Oh no・・ like a Mortens pv?!! but I like this music&new album.

  • Interesting that they chose a fairly flat area for 'Foot of the Mountain'. I see no mountain. And I don't understand the bubbles. But I like when Mags and Paul pull up. 'Alright, mate?'

  • Where is Magne ,Pal ???sorry but aha is 3guys!!!not nice

  • where are Magne and pal????,sorry but aha is 3 guys , sorry!!!!!

  • Love a-ha, love the song...but the video is a bit disappointing...cheesy

  • Good video, great song! As many have said though where are Paul and Magne in this video they are hardly seen! I have never seen an a-ha video which is so focused on Morten! I wish they were releasing the single and album earlier in the UK!

  • espectacular GRANDE A-HA . Es de esperar que saquen un dvd y que vuelvan a CHILE

  • Perfect music!!!

  • Great video, beautiful song!

    thanks for posting x

  • ...perfect song...it causes beautiful reflections in my mind...beautiful pictures of the past, present and future...thank you aha for great piece of artwork...!

  • not enough paul and magne!

    but a cracking song (as per). :)

  • Respect A-HA!
