I’m amazed by how Morten’s voice seemingly hasn’t aged in almost 40 years. I heard a recent performance of Take On Me and It sounds like the original. Same power and range.

no he doesn't. listen to scoundrel days from the 80's and now. His voice it much less chesty than it used to be. Even take on me used to have a more chesty ending for the the "(in a strong tone)i'll be gone in a (head voice)daaay!" now it's always a heady mix voice. To be honest it's a little bit boring compared to his more dynamic youngers days....

Morten has a wonderful and distinctive voice that combined with the other two band members' talent as songwriters and musicians made a-ha a unique piece of music history in the pop genre. One of them made the same comment as you - Morten's voice floats over the instruments. You really should respond to a-ha's original musical expression. They have so many good songs where Morten contributes with his fantastic ability to interpret and express with his voice. This particular song is a classic from the 80's, it made us leap in the chair when we heard it for the first time. In 'Train of thougt', Morten shows his vocal splendor in his lower range. 'Stay on these roads' is another treat that I would recommend.

Hey Beth, I've now bought A-Ha unplugeed, and probably listened to it... 50 times lol. There are many, many amazing songs on the record, but the one that bring me back to the old MTV and amaze me the most is "Stay On This Roads". If you have spare 5 minutes listen to it (sadly I think theres no video only the music). Cheers from Argentina!

So I was thinking about the Transformer toys, but I was also really paying attention to the girls in the mall also. Then for years I listened to this CD to go to sleep, because it has such a mellow songs.

Always enjoyed a-ha growing up. I love his voice so much, it's so comforting. I don't know if you take suggestions from youtube at all anymore, but a band that's always had a similar place in my heart as a-ha is alphaville. A german synth band from the 90s with quite a few great songs. My favorite is an unplugged collaboration of "Sounds like a Melody" with Gregor Meyle. Would love for you to check it out!

Another good one is Olvidame y pega la vuelta from a brother and sister duo called Pimpinela. If you decide to react to pimpinela don’t do the original music video I would suggest you do one on where their performing on stage as they are known for singing and acting through their performance as the sister has a background in theater.
