A-ha Reaction I've Been Losing You (OH MORTEN!!!) | Dereck Reacts

[@christopherscorner]

Scoundrel Days is a beautiful album and the boys did their work!! I’m so glad to hear someone react to this amazing music.

[@lebusraconte3040]

Yes, Morten’s voice is The Most Beautiful Male Voice ! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@vendelayindustries]

Probably my favourite album by A-ha; Scoundrel days. Great inventive sounds all over this album. You can hear it already on this track.

[@danicali76]

This song is so good ! I used to listen it a lot when I was a teenager. I can suggest you to listen to "Hunting high and low", a really masterpiece, and "Summer moved on", where Morten gets very high notes a long time, it's unbelievable. I learned that it was in the Guiness book for that. Please like my comment so Dereck will maybe listen to it. Dereck, thank you for the job you do !

[@jacintavanberkel8033]

Agree 100% love both of those and Scroundrel Days.

[@pbg0301]

You said how can you pick a favourite, it was very difficult but this is mine. Play on repeat, lie on the floor close your eyes and sing as if you are brilliant. Absolutely brilliant song

[@xoxxobob61]

One of my favorite songs by them! People thought A-Ha were some "fluffy 80's Pop" band and this Song proves them wrong!

[@eduardojuscelinodiazmartin9969]

I just saw this AMAZING band live a couple of hours ago! THEY ROCK BEYOND THE SKIES!! ...And in terms of reacting to their songs, I just have two things two say: THE SWING OF THINGS!!! (and) SCOUNDREL DAYS!!!

[@dawndriscoll3344]

Love this!! This is my favourite a-ha single, probably because it is less 'synthy'. I like the bass and drums in this and especially near the end when you think it has finished, but bursts back to life! Morten, of course, spectacular vocals and great harmonies from Mags and Pal. This Alone Is Love, that you mentioned, is gorgeous!!

[@sebastiencalandrini9650]

Summer Moved On and Hunting High And Low are other fabulous A-ha songs. Beautiful and emotional.

[@ono1dij]

My all time A-ha's favorite songs ever!!!!! Love forever!!!

[@mariflame1821]

Love A-ha Morten's voice so much!

[@aleksanderfinstad5785]

Morten Harket is a man with a beautiful voice!

[@ktp.]

Beautiful all around. I love his interviews too.

[@carmenvergara-labrin6069]

Avec une belle voix, un beau visage, un beau corps, une belle âme, une belle intelligence ✨✨💖✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@iDrive2012]

A-ha was my very first concert on 26th January 1987 at Portsmouth Guildhall. They were fantastic and this is definitely my favourite ever A-ha track, the extended version is just epic.

[@elainenascimento5722]

You have to hear The swing of things, There's never a forever thing, Memorial beach, forever not yours... There's a lot of great A-ha music...

[@danielhdrart]

"I´ve Been Losing You" it´s one of most understimated songs from A-HA. Have a strong bassline, and the second part is powerfull as a movie soundtrack. "Cold Stone", from album MEMORIAL BEACH, it´s amazing too, with a very sofisticate atmosphere. Keep doing your amazing work, Derek! Sorry for not contribute on your Patreon - the economy here in Brazil is not easy at this period, and the exchange between REAL and DOLAR is huge. Congrats!

[@danteskywatcher4750]

What a fucking great underrated band.

[@pascalmarfaing4945]

I approuve A-ha too ! I saw these guys. It was a wonderful moment !

[@stevejh2760]

Been waiting on this one 🔥 this and the title track are amazing. In fact the whole album is.

[@sylvieouellet212]

A-ha... So much more then Take On Me! I've Been Losing You is from the fabulous album Scoundrel Days. It's just the tip of the scandinave iceberg! 😊🎶

[@LexusLFA554]

The song that is the least a-ha is Sycamore Leaves. It is from "East of the Sun, West of the Moon" and is a way more rock-focused song, it even has a very strange music-vibe

[@fabiennequillere-majzoub223]

So happy for this react 😄😉 I love these band and so many of their songs ! Morten is certainly one of the best singers ever. I have a special playlist from them. With Tears for Fears and Linkin Park, you are my favorites ! Thank you again 🌹👍💖 and please listen more from them, you will discover many gems 😍😎🌞💐💐💐❤

[@TonyMontanaDS]

My favourite A-ha song!

[@bernardvergne8394]

AHA & ABBA best pop group ,best voices, i love the scandinavian pop

[@Vikki-Waiting-victoriagrace]

Oooh one of my fave bands and one of my fave songs ….. excited to see your reaction

[@claireletourneur9127]

i like this one! Oui , yes i agree with Remy : "Hunting high and low" of A-ha!

[@raeann63]

would love for you to hear "hunting high and low" - hauntingly beautiful lament, exquisite ❤

[@tomthomas4292]

Another flawless pop record he is my favorite all time vocalist hes voice is perfection

[@MarcosVinicius-xm6rx]

I love A-Ha.

[@deborah_ar]

Oh wow! This is my favourite song ever! Thankyou so much for reacting x

[@linagutierrez-rodriguez5366]

Esta creación es maravillosa y Morten hipnotiza con su increíble y única voz.

[@lesliedaubert1411]

Paul and Mags do backup singing sometimes. The "ahh" sound in this song is Paul .

[@Islendingar]

You really need to check out the title track Scoundrel Days as it’s a killer opening and what a track too !! Shows off Mortens voice to its finest from quiet moments to all out full force !! I can’t wait to see them in May performing the full Hunting High & Low album for the last time and with a 32 piece orchestra too !!! Other tracks to check out, Stay on These Roads, Touchy, Crying in the Rain, Foot of the Mountain, Velvet, Summer Moved On, The Bandstand, Cast In Steel, Analogue, Lifelines, Riding The Crest, You Are The One, The Living Daylights, Minor Earth Major Sky, Cry Wolf and Forever Not Yours. There are so many others but these are some of my favourites across most of the albums.

[@shelbydc1]

many do not like Touchy---but i can appreciate it for it's pure pop fun---and whenever i need just a fun video to watch i often watch this one and You Are the One :)

[@stevejamesofficiel]

I think there’s no bad a-ha song!

[@LetsChillPage]

Hello Dereck, It reminds me a little some D. Bowie according to this way of singing with this alternate between low and lead tones voice (until falsetto) used by the singer. Excellent song, indeed! Thanks for the reaction. Good Sunday, folks!

[@VKayed]

Thanks for reacting to this, Dereck! I was such a a-ha fan in my early teens... until I was introduced to U2, The Cure and Simple Minds, who thoroughly upgraded my music taste. Still, fond memories of this hit.

[@markwebster7435]

a-ha is an upgrade on most music tastes

[@luckydevil4594]

Interesting you should say that. I adored the Cure, U2 and SM and thought I was too cool for A-ha who were too poppy and sweet. How wrong I was. They are incredibly talented musicians and he is a superior vocalist (as good as Bono or R Smith if not better). Unlike Dereck I find this song more interesting than their better known ones because it has more of a rock feel.

[@VKayed]

@@luckydevil4594 I still find their first and second album quite good; I only quit with "Stay on These Roads" which was very subpar compared to those.

[@markwebster7435]

@@VKayed did you not listen to the albums that came after stay on these roads? They then completely changed their style and sound after that

[@markwebster7435]

@@luckydevil4594 bono wishes he could have a voice like Morten, he ain’t in the same league as Morten, then again not many are. a-ha were always a rock band by their influences, but they went with the pop sound as it was what was in the charts when they first came to England, plus they had to find away of making music and demos with just 3 of them. So the pop sound fitted those needs. Morten was in a blues band, and Paul and magne were in a band called bridges which was much more the doors alternative sound

[@ahkkariq7406]

I am so glad you didn't pause the video before the end! Thanks God. I love this song, and it is one of those that grows on you.

[@neilburns8869]

Probably Norway's best musical export. I love I've been losing you. The Scoundrel Days album is really good. I love the title track Scoundrel Days and the James Bond track The Living Daylights together with I've Been Losing You makes for 3 epic songs on the one studio album. Morten Harket sings so well his pronunciation of English words is so great it puts many English speakers to shame.

[@lotus72e]

The Living Daylights was from Stay on these roads, their third album.

[@jamjam6297]

Hi Dereck good choice of song for the continuation of the reactions to the group A-ha, which will also be passing through Paris on May 7, 2022 at the theater "Le Zénith" and necessarily I will be there

[@TheErsu]

Try the song Scoundrel Days or The Swing of Things.

[@JesperHellvik]

The Weight of the Wind - you have to check that one!

[@Pilutta100]

Loved that reaction, my no1 cleaning album.

[@giselamesquita5124]

One of my favourite songs of the band . Greatings from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@Rockaria23]

Hope you get to listen to his solo stuff he did between 95 & 96. The main 2 songs are : A Kind Of Christmas Card & Heaven's Not For Saints :)

[@grisetmartir7004]

Amo a Aha🙈👏👏👏

[@viedefun]

Morten !!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Merci Dereck pour cette réaction ! 💖

[@zokinew2800]

A-HA The music ICONS for all time

[@gustavodanielortigoza5141]

Tu has analizado al mejor grupo de la historia de la música de todos los tiempos, salud amigo!!!

[@r.lynnsteinberg2775]

You need to check out "I Wish I Cared" by a-ha! Another gorgeous song!!

[@drunk1998]

they're incredible good

[@b.slocumb7763]

Hope you go through some of their later stuff, too, like “Foot of the Mountain.” They are notorious for being quite a bit melancholy, so be careful what stuff of theirs you listen to if you are down in the dumps. They are my #1 favorite all time band, not just for their early stuff. Crowded House is probably 2nd.

[@dpchmdnn]

I didn't know you were reacting to A-ha songs, now you have reacted to my 3 favorite musical acts: Depeche Mode, Madonna and A-ha.

[@tomthomas4292]

His voice brings me to tears also strongly recommend midge ure and dancing with tears in my eyes all ultravox and all solo midge ure he is another all time favorite artist of mine

[@jacintavanberkel8033]

So happy to see another Aha reaction. Love it.

[@eggy1962]

Derek you have to do Summer Moved On ...you will love morten's vocal on it.... its melodious and high you might need to squeeze something to reach the notes lol

[@ahkkariq7406]

If reacting to this song Dereck should hear Morten sing it live. The best performance in my opinion is live at Vallhall, Oslo 2001.

[@majorsky4072]

The 'Live in South America' is probably the best version of this for me. Raw. Fabulous guitar riff.

[@matshovelkicker6716]

This Alone Is Love is gorgeous, should try it ;)

[@rouguy1972]

Love this song

[@slimboy00000]

You should check their song "Touchy!" and "You are the one"

[@studavies2445]

Derek! This will grow on you in time to the point where it will become your favourite & you’ll be obsessed !! 😜 Next song to review by them should be “ Touchy” ….. just saying …..👍

[@TheErsu]

For years I only knew A-ha for Take on me. It took a while to get use to the sound of their second album.

[@EmpressTouch]

Wonderful song, album and band. The 2000 comeback album 'Minor Earth, Major Sky' was the first my Russian-American pen pal of 21 years heard of this band, before I introduced them to these 1980's classic albums. So it's also wonderful to watch you appreciate them in your own way.

[@shelbydc1]

MEMS is definitely more synthy so he may enjoy that album's songs more than this album

[@kawanarocha1602]

A-ha te best Band ever 💕💕

[@deanbrady2841]

Tht keyboard solo gets me brilliant

[@franticrage73]

Probably my favorite song from the band. One of the few I actually I know the lyrics to.

[@magalielheritier1648]

J'adore a-ha,j'adore morten,la voix masculine la plus sexy du monde musicale

[@JulianaMachado2023]

Love this song!!

[@connexionnature4583]

So good, i've forgoted this song thanx! Moriarty - "Jimmy"

[@carmenvergara-labrin6069]

A-ha..., la voix de Morten Harket, c'est comme un geyser..

[@sw2304]

Please react also to talk talk - such a Shame

[@МаринаСтоцко]

Поют шикарно, Мортен Красса и сейчас!!!!!!¡!!

[@Dreamseller89]

And now is time for Morten Harket solo song Spanisch Steps 😉

[@Elena-in6uw]

Grandi a-ha 🎼❤🇮🇹

[@Vikki-Waiting-victoriagrace]

Have you done ‘summer moved on ‘ - ‘minor earth major sky?’

[@LaurentKovacs]

That band was so much linked to MTV, so many memories 🎶

[@BanthaBurger]

I highly recommend the NRK live version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX3CeHqqobiKmMU One of the best live performances of this song. Great acoustics and stunning vocals by Morten Harket in his prime. And since you loved "Manhattan Skyline" when you reacted to it, I also recommend the NRK live version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5jUi5WbYp2Ao5o (There's a video on KZbin, but the audio quality isn't that great.) I would also like to see you react to the live version of "East of the Sun" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/poSnoHqnbc59q9E), Morten was just brilliant during the NRK sessions.

[@jpb4319]

so many songs of them that you should listen

[@shelbydc1]

over 140 i believe :)

[@spillrune]

Would love to know how you like the 2000-2010 era a-ha. «Summer Moved On», «Analogue», «Foot of the Mountain», and «Butterfly, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah)» are some of my favorites. Sadly, youtube-quality is awful on some of the music videos.

[@stevejamesofficiel]

Lifelines!

[@feoltmanns7624]

My favorite a-ha song ❤❤❤

[@timwinter13]

Yes, as several have already pointed out, you need to check out Hunting High and Low, the title track of their first album. Creative video, too. Love your reactions, btw😊

[@tullfan2560]

My favourite A-Ha songs are Slender Frame, Waiting for Her, Take On Me, Dark is the Night for All, Manhattan Skyline and The Living Daylights.

[@mindyssticktogether]

Slender frame is my favorite.

[@kellywalker3917]

Dereck You absolutely Have to listen :Hunting high and low ,

[@roden70]

This alone is love is a great song!

[@shelbydc1]

it is really dreamy :)

[@Lammert73]

I was curious what your reaction would be about the lyrics… but you haven’t mentioned it 😕 I think you would like this song better by each time you will hear it. It is one of my favorites 🤍

[@ahkkariq7406]

I totally agree - this is a song that grows on you. And the lyrics are really something!

[@AliciaPortel]

MORTEN HARKET:La voz mas bella, el mejor! Su voz se adapta a cualquier canción A-HA-Morten los mejores!👏👏👏❤️

[@David-nz9xs]

For me Morten has the best voice, range, clarity and the way he interprets every song with all the differences within each song is actually mesmerizing

[@AliciaPortel]

​@@David-nz9xsbello comentario! 🙌

[@JoseCarlos-ib6gq]

eNIGMA - Sadeness / return to innocence / mea culpa / child in us / puerta del cielo...

[@deanodeano8604]

What an awesome song, overlooked in favour of Take on Me etc but in my opinion, far superior. Still sounds great:)

[@roderickcoates1424]

You might like Weight of the Wind from the same album. My fav from that one.

[@fakenews3742]

you really have to check out Summer moved on. I promise it will be at your top 3 A-ha songs by far

[@davidrawzen8232]

Listen to "The Weight Of The Wind" from this album. One of their greatest songs ever!... )

[@kilgh]

They have so many good tunes though. Hard to rank them all.

[@henrikbergstrom697]

Halleluja❤️

[@vaniachiandotto7797]

I like because you often say.."this song is different form the others".You got it, no one of their songs is similat to the others. They never covered themsleves unlike other bands did.

[@markwebster7435]

Wow not one of your favourites. This is probably one us fans favourites. And ok song 😲

[@Bocalt]

Another epic

[@kunizeta5446]

Yeah thats it!

[@anibalconcha6612]

I love this song but I understand your point of view: this is a much more common sound to listen to than songs with much more synth sound.

[@nadiamarietym2957]

Thanks dereck, I discovered this song, very catchy but why no subtitle in French?

[@Abbadonhades]

No other A-ha song beats this one for me. Next on my ranking is "Move to Memphis."

[@Lisa-M]

ABBA, Roxette, A-Ha, Sunrise Avenue... most of my favourite groups are from Scandinavia. 😄 So I think it's time for you to make a reaction to Sunrise Avenue, if you haven't.

[@josecuesta4519]

Have you heard THE WAKE of A Ha?
