NOOO, A-HA! Don't split!... I'll take back what I said, that I did't like Foot of the mountain so much. You r wonderful. No one could ever fill the space u'd leave.
I will have the other if you want, I want to see them again. Ive seen them twice, once and the O2 and 'The Royal Albert Hall'. At the O2 I was one of their photographers :P

Morten really couldn't sing in the `80s (horrible, HORRIBLE live!), and he's even worse now... and he's singing his high parts in falsetto now (back then he was belting them). Oh well... he's middle aged... I'll cut him a break.
By the way, I love this song, particularly in its original form. I love the extended version.
The Norwegian band a-ha has recorded, released and toured continuesly since 1985, wilth only a pause between 1994 and 1998. They have just released their 9th album in Europe and are going on a European tour this year and world tour next year. a-ha's newest album entitled Foot of the Mountain was #1 in Germany a few weeks ago and just reached # 5 on the UK album chart.
I liked it but I preferred the original: Morten's voice is more pure and crisp; in this video he sounds as if he's swallowing gravel. They still are brilliant (if not better!) musicians by all accounts, though: that's why they're my favourite band. Also Pal's hair looks really different: what did he do to it? I liked the blonde look *sniff*
I heard this song in the landing airplane during my first journey to Norway. The weather was bad, it was snowing, but when I sank through the clouds, I saw this coast, those houses and I fell helplessly in love with this country. And returned a lot of times...
Still when I hear it today, it takes me back immediately and makes me get goosebumps... =)
Cool rosenrot201! That was a good welcome to Norway eh? I really wanna visit Norway (and Iceland).I heard the orginal version of this song this morning at a community group meeting ( in a pub)with my friend ( who is setting it up). We looked at each other as the opening bars came on and started to laugh ( we are going to the Manchester concert in November).
Well, I didn't like them that much before, to be honest...they were just some radio stuff for me before, but then, September 2007, I was at the Open Air in Kiel (there are a lot of videos of it here) where the new Oslo- Color Line ferry got inducted... and they were just so matching this event, their music, the wind, the Norwegian flags, the open sea....
Did you go to classes to learn it? I think it's a nice sounding language. English is a mix of Norse, German, Latin and old Anglo Saxon- I can see the influences in our grammar and words.
Th girl is Anneli Drecker. She is singer and keyboardist of another Norwegian band called BelCanto. In adittion to her own band she is also often used as backing vocalsit by many Norwegian bands.
Annelli participated in a-ha's tours between 2000 and 2002/03. She also recorded a duet with Morten Harket on the a-ha album Lifelines and also duetted with Morten on stage while performing with a-ha at that time.
I read on wikepedia that Morten has a range of five ocatves! Yes, it puzzles me why they are not recognised more - but then the music industry is fickle and biased.
Honestly, I don't understand why there not big in the US. Harket has an incredible voice and Waaktaar-Savoy & Furuholmen are great too. They're amazing. ♥
one of my absolute favorite 80s tunes. i've always thought morten harket to be one of the most underrated vocalists of our time. his vocal range on some of their songs is absolutely amazing. must have been an awesome show-thanks for sharing.... :)
I knew about this song on the Slumdog Millionaire's Trailer =D best part is: Touch me How can it be Believe me The sun always shines on t.v. Hold me Close to your heart Touch me And give all your love to me so beautiful o3o
Danny Boyle chose this song for the trailer of his multi oscar nominated movie called Slumdog Millionaires. That is so good for A-ha. I hope the song is also heard in the movie.
its on the trailer!I was watchin another film in the pictures and an add for slumdog millionaire came on and I said to my friend whats the name of the song in the background I have to get it
u guys rock, come to Colombia before everything's over, please!!! love u so much
