The album version is miles better! This one is just a common, generic song, with nothing to "catch" the listener" with. Why dumb it down? Why all this insecurity, A-ha? Those "special" things are what makes A-ha what it is.
In Europe yes but for the UK its the song Nothing Is Keeping You Here (we are all wating for the video to this song...) It was out 21 of september. Like this song and singel , Nothing Is Keeping You Here is a remix. You will find the UK singel here at Youtube
They should have released the Bandstand instead. IRock fans or fans of adult bands won't like that song (especially when you see the mannerism of the singer), which is so boring comared to what other artists release now.a-ha: 1 point.
Thanks for posting so quickly! Like others, I too find the video very lack luster. I also like the RAH live version of this song the best, but I like the album version with the violins at the end much better than this remix. Maybe the remix was to cut the song down for a single??? This is a beautiful song, one of the best on the album... this song lends itself to a more intriging, atmospheric story lined video. I think a great opportunity for an amazing video was missed here. Too bad!!!
Always known for the quality & excellence in their video's, maybe we can cut them some slack on this one and see how "NIKYH" turns out. Because, if a song ever needed a good video.. it's that one! Shadowside is such a good song it can stand on it's own with or without a video! On the positive side, the kaleidoscope effect was interesting to a point & all three looked great, especially Morten! He sounds brilliant, his passionate interpretation & delivery of this song is nothing less then amazing.
Morten still looks and sounds terrific. Great song, too. I like the video! 5 stars. Thank you, norskygirl, for keeping me up on the latest with A-HA and Morten Harket!
Amo a-ha, la canción es de mis favoritas del disco pero esperé más del video... Ah-a siempre me sorprende con cada uno de sus videos pero éste no lo hizo.
Thank you for sharing! I feel that the scenes with the geometric designs should be more of an artistic airy, shadow consistency & moving in a way to reflect the lyrics (keep the kaleidoscope theme), rather than a glass shard consistency would add continuity to the video. Anything with these three handsome & UBER talented artists is worth viewing over & over again. I like how Morten looks so fresh, sexy, passionate & sincere in the delivery of the lyrics & message. God bless!
Part 2 Yes. Once again. I think it is great and calm new video who fit Shadowside. Big favourite of mine from the new album. And it is not FOTM or CP videos, who I also think is great made aswell. But this time Shadowside. And dancing girls would have ruin the video with the guys.I like to move my dancinghips, but the great Nowegian guys don't need dancing girls and once again I think Morten is, all 3 is doing a great jobb there. Morten walking slowly (Not busy hee,hee) and in shadows.Charlotte
Yes. I have to disagree with you who say you are disappointed and it is boring ect.
I know the Nowegian guys have said from the some of the new interviews that they had some more work to do with the new video or changes or something like that.
But Yes. I am not dissapointed and I think it is great done and I think the mirro effects is good and Morten yes all 3 is doing a great jobb there. I think it is calm and fit to Shadowside. Big favourite of mine.
I like their shows, but Morten never speaks except to say "thank you so much", which is utterly fascinating, you know. If you succeed being in the 10-20th first rows, you may find him funny and nice because of his facial exwpressions, but the poor fellows at the back won't see this, and as he does not speak, you see how interesting it is. I am afraid he tries to be very philosophical, and speaking to fans doesn't match his aim, I think. He must take us for idiots, I think
ha ha ha, I was in front row just in front of him in their last show in Chile on march... that's what i said it, i was very dissapointed about that, imagine! i was dreaming with that for almost 20 years and i got barely... nothing!
Well, I hate to say it, but it is a disappointment to my expectations - this mirror effect is not very imaginative, lot of times the close-ups are out of focus .... :-( seems like it has been just thrown together in a hurry :-(
It lacks the refinement of previous a-ha videos - even Cosy Prisons was way better than this....!
As for the song itself, I still miss the "I will " and I think this simplified version does not much good - sorry guys, but I was expecting something much more professional !
The close-up are out of focus because they WANT to be out of focus. It's the "shadowside" they're talking about, so the darkness and the out of focus thing go toghether with the meaning of the song.
But I agree that it could have been more rich. The mirror and "caleidoscope" effect it's good (again, the "shadow-light" contrast and the "double-side" meaning), but it could have been pushed a little further, and it lacks of the "crescendo" effect that is in the song...
haaa...where are AHA's magnificent videos? FOTM video took the song to a whole new level. This video takes the song down...good tune, interesting mix.
Is it me, or since a-ha team with Universal, their videos are uninteresting, unimaginative, boring, always the same, always dark, and with low budget?
They seem more adult, that is a fact. But I am fed up with the love stories between Morten and his mike...He touches his mike, he caresses his mike, he lokks at his mike...Nothing more original, guys? Like little girls dancing to the chorus, something refreshing; something romantic, bucolic, for once, for god's sake!!!
OMG! O_O Little girls dancing??? Are you CRAZY?? A-ha don't do this kind of things, thanks God! They're not some stupid dancing boy band. Their songs ARE dark, and melancholic and nostalgic... And they ARE adult, Morten just turned 50, the others are in their late 40's... and you want something "bucolic"? Please...
Boys band make appear littles girls in their videos to me? That is new to me...
That was just an example to show a-ha could try to make something new, something fresh. Apparently, it is too much to ask from this band.
Bucolic is the contrary of the fact they are adult? Hello?
"Last shadow puppet "have had girls dancing in one of their video, Jach White had little girls in one of his videos, that was fantastic. Don't tell me they are not adult, please.a-ha just lack fantasy and imagination.
I feel the same. I was hoping that the single version of this track would be identical to the one from Royal Albert Hall. I can't help but say that it disappoints me when a song is not represented in its best incarnation. This one is better than the album version though.
Both remixes of NIKYH and Shadowside are quite awful, they could have reached way further if they had taken control of it better. Incredibly boring video with some mirror-ideas any infant could have come up with. Take matters into your own hands lads!
I don´t find it boring at all, i love to see this great muscicians. And Morten you are just amazing! you make me feel like if I know you from all my life.
Awesome, Hope A-ha come to Argentina soon. Next year will be 20 years without them around :´ (
