I been back searching some good 80's songs to enjoy and perhaps remix, so I came across this gem, I'm like in love now. wow! this decade was full of life and artistic brilliance, bring it back people! xo
THUMB me up if you think our great countries ( England and Norway ) are getting overrun by immigration we dont want because we both have enough of our own people to look after first etc . ! And our so called goverments are letting down our OWN hard working class people because of this . And if you think its so soul destroying like me . THANK YOU !
I'm not one of those nostaglia freaks who complains everything was better "back in the day" but I can't remember a number one hit with as much imagination and excitement as this recently.
i love a-ha! just saw their videos performing till the present. so happy to know that! morten and the guys are really talented. as a teen i was always blown away by his vocals--esp when he sings "in a day or twoooooooo!" when bands would perform that song in parties when i was in college, we would breathlessly w8 for the singer to sing it like morten, haha.
It has power, sophistication and has 80's written al over it. A true classic which fits in every era, simply because they put an effort in going beyond the catchy tune.
I like what new things they brought to the public. No one would have thought to use a cartoon as a video, or to use mannequins and faces on a wall. Really unique stuff.
Najpiekniejsza muza jakakolwiek slyszalam.A-ha jest moja ulubiona i ukochana grupa od lat!Lepiej powiedziec wychowalam sie z Ich muza!i jako dorosla dalej kocham Ich!
what a song WOW, i so envy everyone who was around in clubs etc when these kind of songs and groups were smashing it out of the park. have to admit that the 80's RULED!!!!!
i always wonder what Morten says in the begin of that clip,
maybe he just wanna say:
Hey girl tell ya this, next time HE wont forget to draw something inside my pocket, if you know what i mean..hehe.oops sorry, gotte go now, i be back, ... chalk time
One of my all time favourite songs. Second is Take On Me then Hunting High And Low. Then it's Train Of Thoughts. Amazing how they are all done by A-ha. I love the use of Synth plus with Morten's wide range of vocals, This would be one of the best songs ever made. Anyone know which instruments were used in the starting instrumental? I know one of the Piano but what is that one that sounds a bit like a flute? Many thanks.
yesterday(2010-09-140 was the 51 th birthdayt of morten harket...i wish him the best as a singer and go back to the top...louts of kissesxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
RITE THATS ME GOT MY TICKET FOR THERE LAST EVER CONCERT IN OSLO THE 4TH DEC , HO HO HO HAPPY DAYS. 3 NITES IN AROW I WILL SEE THEM NOW ,MY LIVER AND THE LOCAL GIRLS WONT NO WHATS HIT EM. JON FROM SCOTLAND A-HA TILL DEATH.
hello creo que este fue uno de los mejores grupos de los 80's todo lo cantaban con exelencia como cars o duran duran bueno se extrana una musica asi por estos tiermpos gracias y sorry por mi espanol
Yes@ 80s rule..you're spot on!! A-HA, OMD, ELO,Spandau Ballet, The Thompson Twins,Nik Kershaw, Simple Minds, U2 at their best, I wish I had a time machine. Life was less stressful, the music was awesome and a Scottish team won a European trophy (Aberdeen) !! The memories will live on through the music!
COME 4TH DECEMBER ,OSLO 2010 AT THE SPEKTRUM ARENA AND THIS SONG PLAYS I WILL HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES NOWING THAT I WILL NEVER HEAR THEM SING IT LIVE AGAIN, BUT THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES OF THE LAST 25 YEARS A-HA ,ITS BEEN NICE KNOWING YOU, BUT REMEMBER SOMETHING THIS GOOD NEVER DIES, NEVER........
A-ha was performing live in Argentina this past March. I was there in February and I almost changed my return ticket home in order to attend their concert which was their FAREWELL TOUR. Unfortunately, the event was sold-out; so I had to return to the States as planned (by the way, A-HA had not included the U.S. for this Farewell Tour -- and I wonder why!!!).
Funny how even I grew up in the 70's...and the then the 80's launched the best music of the century...the period from 1980-87 was unprecedented in the magnitude of so much music from so many genre's.
What makes the song so mesmerizing, is the fact, that, the lyrics, when you really understand them, are so unbeliveably gloomy...the fact, that they were able to create such an upbeat song, with such morose lyrics, is ample proof of A-HA's genius...
This is arguably the most romantic pop song of the 80's. we all absorb it our own way. As a Dude.. well, I feel that it's about a boy and a girl laying it all on the line for each other, and being happy about it. Let's face it folks, you don't have to be Optimist to realize that if a couple doesn't feel strongly about each other then they have nothing, on their own.............................
haha going to see them by myself on all 3 dates in oslo in december and cant wait,god knows why but have never seen them before and going to make up for it now .im 41 and from aberdeen scotland and a-ha are one of the best melodic bands ever .so any big a-ha fans out there want to meet up for a very expensive pint or tow before the concerts i am more than happy,see you in oslo in december 2010. all the best everyone and take care. jon mcmillan fae aberdeen xxx
@angels2957 Not exactly perhaps, but have you checked out Ashbury Heights? They are a GREAT Swedish duo commonly thought of as having a flavour similar to that of great 80s alt/synthpop bands, but completely updated for this century.
Most people that were born after 1985, were born into single-parent homes, in which the mother was usually a teenager, with absolutely no clue, on how to raise their children...then the teenage parents turn to drugs, and prostitution, and the children grow up, without any sense of education, morals, or values...you can thank the anti-Western movement of the late 1960's, for all the trouble we're going through now...
@TheKwatch si amigo tienes razon que raro no? la musica de los 80's era genial no se porque los tiempos han cambiado pero para mal, hasta ahora no puedo encontrar respuesta... english.. yes friend i agree you . That is son strange... 80's music was so great i dont know why the times has changed but to bad. Still i dont find the answer
i am 14 years old right now, i started listing to 70's,80's from when i played the game GTA Vice City. So from when i was 7 or 8 years old. I always know as much songs from 70's, 80's as my mom does, shes 40 now.
@MeTaLisHSnAkE How can it be a gay song? For one thing, it's about a love story...but, of course, it's agains the law, nowadays, to show any affection for anyone...I'm 32, and I feel like an old man, because these times are all about anger, selfishness, self-centeredness, and suicidal self=loathing...these times are truly, the "Me" generation of history...
@GemCan78 I said it sounds gay because of the way the singer sings and the words... "Touch me.. hold me.." things like that.. but again i dont think its gay and a very good song.. and im only 22 years old.
Ok, I will post my thoughts: I want to thank those who despite not having been born or did not live through the 80's can recognize that the music of my generation was so brilliant -- because it was. At the same time, I wish there was a time machine to take you all back to those wonderful times, which were indeed simpler but in which we lived fuller and happier lives, so that you too could experience what we did, even if for a few moments. You see, the great music is what made us happy.
@80srule4ever I'm 15 at the moment and I love music from the 80's, it inspired pretty much all Electro stuff young people listen to today. I would say my favorite music from the 80's is new-wave. I wish I would've been alive in the 80's
@MegaMollon Thank you my young friend! You have good taste in music, obviously. Not all people of your generation get it though! Too bad! The 80's were definitely a good time to be young and carefree. Honestly, I would not trade it for a minute -- even with all the gadgets available today -- but then again, it was because we did not have all those gadgets that music was such a big part of our daily lives.
@80srule4ever Yeah I love music of my generation too but amazing bands like A HA truly inspired pretty mjuch all popular musicians of today. And yes it seems to me like in the 80's teens would be alot more laid back, now we are always bombarded with work!! Maybe it was the same for you guys. And yes me without a computer and the internet would be like not having a home haha, i really lvoe some 80's fashion as well, ALOT of stuff from the 80's is really coming back!!
@MegaMollon Honestly I do not think I could mention one single Pop song made by this generation. In reference to our young lives in the 80's, it was not that we were laid back. We did have our responsibilities too however there was a real sense of connection amongst the young that I do not see happening today. And that connection had a lot to do with music, since we listened to music a lot and watch MTV. The fact that we did not have the gadgets of today, gave us a different perspective.
@80srule4ever and it's also very odd to think that in about 50 years time I'll be old (if I'm still alive that is haha you never know what cold go wrong!) and people will be looking at the year 2000 thinking "wow that was soo old" and my life at the moment seeming alien to them. A very wierd though indeed lol
I grew up in the 80s and it was pretty fucking lame. I think the only decade that has been (slightly) lamer, was the 00s.. but at least that one had the internet growing up.
@thepts Hello friend. I am sorry you did not enjoy the 80's - you must have been one of the very few who didn't. I agree with you about the 00's decade, and I would
go a step further stating that it is the worst decade in regards to music, ever! About the 80's however, I have to disagree with you because in all frankness, it was a decade that offered such music variety for all tastes. Having said that, I cannot understand why you did not enjoy any of the music that was available!
@majidarif Yes, the 80's was a decade of total innovation in music because of new instrumentation that was becoming available. Add the advent of MTV and the necessity for bands to make the videos that would reflect the meaning of the song. The videos were never offensive but rather fun, reflective or soulful depending on what the song was about. Bands and singers were not improvised which is why you find the music to be so brilliant.
@majidarif Since you like 80's music, check out some other tunes you probably never heard before. They are listed in "my favorites" in no particular order. Cheers!
@80srule4ever Well said! Those who were not around to witness the plethora of musical styles & talent around in the 80's REALLY missed out. I feel very sorry for the young uns today, all they get fed is a diet of Simon Cowell manufactured, instanty forgettable drivel. The music industry is in a very sad state of affairs. Glad I was born in 1970!! :)
@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH I absolutely agree with you! I assume you are from Liverpool, so your city alone gave the world some unbelievable talent (I am not just referring to The Beatles), and England in general both in the 60's, 70's and 80's.
@80srule4ever Look,I'm 16 so I wasn't enough lucky to live in the '80s.
However this is the truth, I ADORE the music of these years.
In my opinion the great music, the really good, the real music doesn't depend from years or age. If someone is not deaf and enough opened to listen new things - to try out - no matter, how old are you or when do you live.
I enjoy modern music too but the "old" ones are better to me.
@Jump21Street You are very wise for your young years. The difference with your contemporaries is that you are open to listen to the music of other decades. The problem is that many kids today refuse to listen to the music of past decades, and in doing so, they are becoming less open minded about other things as well. Your nickname is from 21 Jump Street, the 80's tv series with Johnny Depp? Good for you!
@80srule4ever Yes,exactly =) Well,I don't wanna repeate myself . Both of the opinions are true and apposite. I'm happy to have a good conversation with you.
( And something else : I'm hungarian so sorry for the incidental grammar mistakes =) )
This song is timeless. A-ha will live on forever in this song.

This is arguably the most romantic pop song of the 80's. we all absorb it our own way. As a Dude.. well, I feel that it's about a boy and a girl laying it all on the line for each other, and being happy about it. Let's face it folks, you don't have to be Optimist to realize that if a couple doesn't feel strongly about each other then they have nothing, on their own.............................

@angels2957 Not exactly perhaps, but have you checked out Ashbury Heights? They are a GREAT Swedish duo commonly thought of as having a flavour similar to that of great 80s alt/synthpop bands, but completely updated for this century.
Please let me know what you think!

Most people that were born after 1985, were born into single-parent homes, in which the mother was usually a teenager, with absolutely no clue, on how to raise their children...then the teenage parents turn to drugs, and prostitution, and the children grow up, without any sense of education, morals, or values...you can thank the anti-Western movement of the late 1960's, for all the trouble we're going through now...

@MeTaLisHSnAkE How can it be a gay song? For one thing, it's about a love story...but, of course, it's agains the law, nowadays, to show any affection for anyone...I'm 32, and I feel like an old man, because these times are all about anger, selfishness, self-centeredness, and suicidal self=loathing...these times are truly, the "Me" generation of history...

@GemCan78 there's nothing like gay songs. For those who don't know, music hasn't anything to do with sexual orientation.
AAngerJ 1 year ago
@GemCan78 I said it sounds gay because of the way the singer sings and the words... "Touch me.. hold me.." things like that.. but again i dont think its gay and a very good song.. and im only 22 years old.

Ok, I will post my thoughts: I want to thank those who despite not having been born or did not live through the 80's can recognize that the music of my generation was so brilliant -- because it was. At the same time, I wish there was a time machine to take you all back to those wonderful times, which were indeed simpler but in which we lived fuller and happier lives, so that you too could experience what we did, even if for a few moments. You see, the great music is what made us happy.

@80srule4ever I'm 15 at the moment and I love music from the 80's, it inspired pretty much all Electro stuff young people listen to today. I would say my favorite music from the 80's is new-wave. I wish I would've been alive in the 80's
MegaMollon 1 year ago
@MegaMollon Thank you my young friend! You have good taste in music, obviously. Not all people of your generation get it though! Too bad! The 80's were definitely a good time to be young and carefree. Honestly, I would not trade it for a minute -- even with all the gadgets available today -- but then again, it was because we did not have all those gadgets that music was such a big part of our daily lives.
80srule4ever 1 year ago
@80srule4ever Yeah I love music of my generation too but amazing bands like A HA truly inspired pretty mjuch all popular musicians of today. And yes it seems to me like in the 80's teens would be alot more laid back, now we are always bombarded with work!! Maybe it was the same for you guys. And yes me without a computer and the internet would be like not having a home haha, i really lvoe some 80's fashion as well, ALOT of stuff from the 80's is really coming back!!
MegaMollon 1 year ago
@MegaMollon Honestly I do not think I could mention one single Pop song made by this generation. In reference to our young lives in the 80's, it was not that we were laid back. We did have our responsibilities too however there was a real sense of connection amongst the young that I do not see happening today. And that connection had a lot to do with music, since we listened to music a lot and watch MTV. The fact that we did not have the gadgets of today, gave us a different perspective.

@80srule4ever and it's also very odd to think that in about 50 years time I'll be old (if I'm still alive that is haha you never know what cold go wrong!) and people will be looking at the year 2000 thinking "wow that was soo old" and my life at the moment seeming alien to them. A very wierd though indeed lol

I grew up in the 80s and it was pretty fucking lame. I think the only decade that has been (slightly) lamer, was the 00s.. but at least that one had the internet growing up.
thepts 1 year ago
@thepts Hello friend. I am sorry you did not enjoy the 80's - you must have been one of the very few who didn't. I agree with you about the 00's decade, and I would
go a step further stating that it is the worst decade in regards to music, ever! About the 80's however, I have to disagree with you because in all frankness, it was a decade that offered such music variety for all tastes. Having said that, I cannot understand why you did not enjoy any of the music that was available!

@80srule4ever i cant believe they made amazing music videos those days.
and i cant believe they have stopped making MUSIC this days, though i like some new songs...SONGS, there not that of MUSIC anymore...
majidarif 1 year ago
@majidarif Yes, the 80's was a decade of total innovation in music because of new instrumentation that was becoming available. Add the advent of MTV and the necessity for bands to make the videos that would reflect the meaning of the song. The videos were never offensive but rather fun, reflective or soulful depending on what the song was about. Bands and singers were not improvised which is why you find the music to be so brilliant.

@majidarif Since you like 80's music, check out some other tunes you probably never heard before. They are listed in "my favorites" in no particular order. Cheers!
80srule4ever 1 year ago
@80srule4ever Well said! Those who were not around to witness the plethora of musical styles & talent around in the 80's REALLY missed out. I feel very sorry for the young uns today, all they get fed is a diet of Simon Cowell manufactured, instanty forgettable drivel. The music industry is in a very sad state of affairs. Glad I was born in 1970!! :)

@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH I absolutely agree with you! I assume you are from Liverpool, so your city alone gave the world some unbelievable talent (I am not just referring to The Beatles), and England in general both in the 60's, 70's and 80's.
80srule4ever 1 year ago
@80srule4ever I should have said Britain and not England. And I should
include Ireland because many talented bands came from there as well.
80srule4ever 1 year ago
@80srule4ever Look,I'm 16 so I wasn't enough lucky to live in the '80s.
However this is the truth, I ADORE the music of these years.
In my opinion the great music, the really good, the real music doesn't depend from years or age. If someone is not deaf and enough opened to listen new things - to try out - no matter, how old are you or when do you live.
I enjoy modern music too but the "old" ones are better to me.
Good songs will never be old or forgotted!

@Jump21Street You are very wise for your young years. The difference with your contemporaries is that you are open to listen to the music of other decades. The problem is that many kids today refuse to listen to the music of past decades, and in doing so, they are becoming less open minded about other things as well. Your nickname is from 21 Jump Street, the 80's tv series with Johnny Depp? Good for you!
