Fuck man, we have to prize ourselves so fortunate to be living in a time where there's so much creativity and beauty on display. I'm not joking, this is humanity in its peak form . And look what it can produce.. I'm just speechless

As time goes on and bands "mess" with their songs when live, they rarely sound better than the original. Not this time. 😅I’ve heard several versions of this song over the years, but this is probably the best. Brilliant.

OMG, for the first time ever I get to understand what he means by the Sun Always Shines on TV. I grew up speaking Spanish and Crucian (St. Croix - West Indian Creole) and learned English along the way. Always wondered what the heck he meant by the sun shinning on the television. Was he getting sun rays coming through his apartment window and could not see his television. LOL. Now I get it though, things are not always as happy as they appear on television, life can suck and be miserable and lonely. This makes the song even more beautiful now.

When i researched the song, i found this on wikipedia (translated from german) Pål Waaktaar, guitarist for the band, said "‘ The Sun Always Shines On TV ’was written on one of those dreary days. Me and Mags [Magne Furuholmen] were watching English TV at a hotel on a rainy day and the guy who announced the program said, “It's a rainy day but, as always, the sun always shines on TV.” The title says it all about the power of television and the way television represents life. "

And now go listen to the unplugged version of Take on me.... The lyrics are not as upbeat as the music once indicated , but they are sore and raw. It's a bit like the difference in "Sound of Silence" when sung by Simon and Garfunkel vs Disturbed, only here it is the same artist ;-)

I used to run a club in the 80s. It had a great sound system. It was a detached building so any noise didn’t disturb anyone around. Often, when I opened up, the place was completely empty. I had a tape recording of this song and I would play it on volume 10 on the system. It was mind blowing.

Hunting High And Low was my very first cassette which I got from my Nana on my 12th birthday to go with the Walkman my parents gave me. I always preferred this song to 'Take On Me'-- the tension in the opening and that huge synth chorus... a masterpiece. This version takes it to another level entirely with the piano and strings and a duet between Morten and Ingrid... just incredible. Thanks a-ha!

@kakdelarebyata 6 жыл бұрын

What's so heartbreaking about this is the contrast of the lyric - "touch me...hold me" - with the physical distance between Ingrid and Morten. They never look at each other. There are no cheesy, amateur histrionics, two bad actors mooning over one another with false adoration, and the effect is stunning. The presentation of two lonely people issuing a plea into the night: their need real, their ache without relief. Indeed, life is not like they show it on TV. I, like a lot of people, enjoyed/danced to A-ha back in the day, but these recent recastings of their songs are superior to the 80's stuff. The music and the men who make it have matured to the benefit of all of us. Well done.

This was one among many from this band that hit me right in the soul. I'll always love a-ha.

Tears are running down my face while listening to this. I moved to Norway first in 2009. I came back to Germany 2012. Since then, I couldn't forget, I travel up as much as I can, I speak Norwegian fluently. I was searching for something over all these years, and then I just heard this song while on the car, the same old song. I had to pull over to the side. So many pictures and memories. It's breaking my heart. This fall, I'm moving back, there's no option.

@danielledredger4030 6 жыл бұрын

This is the song (the original version) that brought me back to a-ha. Or I should say brought them back to me. I heard it in the car a few months ago and I thought, "You know, they really had some great songs" When I got home that day, I went straight to KZfaq looking for some of their old songs that I remembered from back in the day. Being in the US, I thought they were long gone but needless to say I was shocked (and Very happy) to start seeing all these newer things from them, It started me on my current quest to find everything I can from them.

Watching this series of reworked classics, only enforces how fantastically well written these songs are . Yes they are different to the 1980’s high tempo electric sounds, but none the worse for being acoustic, excellent they are 👍
