What makes this version of the song so sad and somber for me is how you can draw a parallel between the original and this version to real life. This is an old song, and if you notice, the crowd is full of people well into their adult years, they've grown old along with it. The original is fun, exciting, and full of energy, just like when you're a young teenager. This version is slowed down, the energy and "youth" of it is gone, but in its place is a tenderness and an almost haunting and melancholic tone to it, which is indicative of getting older. You slow down, you've expended your energy, you're less upbeat and reckless, but you're more aware, sensitive and tender, and what was once the youthful thoughts of invincibility and now replaced with a growing realization that you don't get to live forever, and time is short, growing shorter every day. So needless to say when i look at this song in that way, it adds this extra sad depth to it for me.

[@kevinlane7555]

Well said...'Oh yeah, life goes on, even after the thrill of living is gone'

[@booshank2327]

Spot on analysis. You can almost see the thoughts of some of the middle-aged women in the crowd reminiscing.

[@chairmanofthebored6860]

Holy crap what a spot on analysis. The original was one of my mother's favorite songs and this version just kills me now

[@davecarey5900]

You can explain every so clearly this is exactly how I see this song I see it so differently now to the original version particularly the line “slowly learning life is ok “it hits differently now than when I heard it when I was younger

[@haveuforgotten]

Perfectly said, brought tears to my eyes

[@LuGer212]

the original: upbeat, optimistic, have fun while it lasts this version: *life*

[@LuiWallentinGttler]

The original is still an amazing track, and I like it for so many reasons. But I absolutely adore this version - over 30 years later the lyrics, as you rightly state Bisscute, have a whole 'nother meaning. You can hear the age in Mortens vocals, and he just sings so this so delicate. Together with bands arrangement this is everything I love about music.

[@erickh.r.9087]

For me nothing like the original, this one loses all the charm of the 80's

[@stevenvarley2865]

Just simply incredible.. What a voice... I'm balling my eyes out😂 thank you A-Ha for such an inspirational song.. Long live Ellie!!!!

[@unclebob53703]

Had no idea this band was this good

[@marka4891]

The first time I heard this version of their song was watching Deadpool 2 and it broke my heart.

[@marvel-ousre-grind8724]

It breaks my heart every time...

[@toddblackmon]

I started singing the verse to myself it in the theater while watching DP2. Everyone was confused at first about how I knew the words.

[@poggerwhite]

I know Deadpool 2 is a goofy movie but the scene with this song over it is absolutely heartbreaking

[@leftcoaster67]

Both versions are awesome. They have great talent.

[@BlueBookGuy]

I love this version... for me as we grow older with our faults and thoughts, our memories, take on me.. huge respect to the audience who listened and felt every word and emotion quietly.

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

I suggested this version to several reactors. but no reaction. 😁so I´m glad, you chose it and liked it. from a popsong to a masterpiece.

[@w.martin747]

Worth looking at the original MV as it was ground breaking for the time. It is also much faster than this unplugged version.

[@frankiek2269]

I just said this. This is best watching video first.

[@DeeDee-eb6fe]

The original MV in the 80s was something to behold forever. This one is nice too, but it can't top the feeling i had back then in my youth. Love everyone of your reactions though!

[@MartinEB72]

This video that she reacts to has some of the some the most heart warming comments in it. Somebody talking about their parents dancing to this song, but they passed away however they also danced with their 6 year old when it comes on. Another cry worthy one of when guy used to sing this to his wife all the time, but when she was passing away from cancer she said "I will be gone in a day or 2". woof. Plus I bought this album when it was new, and it was probably 3rd album I ever bought with my own money.

[@kennethlane7645]

I love this version a lot more. I think the song is great period but this slowed down version I think speaks more to what the lyrics are actually trying to convey. It's easy to get caught up in the music and the video, if you watched the video, without diving into the lyrics all that much. Maybe you heard the song many times throughout your life, like me, and because of the tempo and everything going on around it you never really gave much thought to what he is saying. You were just like this is a catchy tune. Once you dive into the lyrics and slow it down though you really start to understand the complexity of what he's talking about. We're not gonna be together forever. Our time is limited so take me for who I am and I'll do the same for you for however much time we happen to be blessed with.

[@monikabeki6838]

So true! It’s a completely other song! This version is heartbreaking, sad, asking for appreciating good times! The fast version is more fighting than asking, telling you to be powerful keeping your head up! That’s why both versions are so incredible, so emotional and meaningful

[@BisscuteReacts]

Right?

[@ReligionOfSacrifice]

@@BisscuteReacts, he's saying that he is a teen taking drugs and pursuing women to fuck them. Take on me means let me fuck you so I can ramble on to the next girl I want to fuck. High he stumbles off for the next girl slowly learning that life is okay. He can still get it.

[@antonmulder9413]

Aha is my all time favourite band this version of take on me is absolutely awesome what a voice what a band

[@toddmurphy664]

One of the most amazing songs ever! I love both versions. So good!

[@Shigawire]

Beautiful person with a beautiful reaction to a beautiful song!

[@BisscuteReacts]

Awee thank you ❤

[@christophschmedes5975]

The Musik Video Take on me by Aha is absolut Art and for this time absolut cult .

[@EnervatedSociety]

Finally some 80s music! I adore 80s music. It's my favorite of all. Please do some 80s Tears for Fears: Pale Shelter, Memories Fade, Watch me Bleed, Change, Start of The Breakdown, Shout, Everybody Wants To Rule The World, Head Over Heels, anything off their first two albums really, or any their live performance from the 80s because they were in their prime. 80s The Cure, anything off Disintegration. Depeche Mode- Blasphemous Rumours is a good one. Toto - Hold The Line. Daryl Hall & John Oates - I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) grooves like crazy. If this doesn't get you dancing you're dead. 80: When in Rome, Simple Minds, Pet Shop Boys, Thompson Twins, Johnny Hates Jazz, Glen Frey, Survivor, Cutting Crew, Wham, Cyndi Lauper, Phil Collins, Star Ship, Huey Lewis and the news. Prince! Yazoo! Don Henley. There's so many! Billy Ocean. Pat Benatar. Vanity 6. Naked Eyes, Peter Gabriel, The Cars, Spandau Ballet, A Flock Of Seagulls, Bananarama, Billy Idol, Corey Hart, Genesis, Images In Vogue, Laura Branigan. ok I'll stop now. The emergence of new and affordable technology mixed with the musicianship of the time made the 80s a very interesting time for music imo.

[@MichaelsExplorations]

Fun fact this song is played in the Video game The Last us part 2 When The Character Ellie plays the guitar. so Beautiful slowed down version 🖤

[@Elena-in6uw]

Grazie per la tua dolce reazione: gli a-ha fanno sempre riflettere nelle loro canzoni e musiche. Il loro mondo musicale è tutto da scoprire e apprezzare : musica e Voce per l'anima ❤️🎶

[@olaandreolsen3036]

Take me back to the 80´s :-)

[@bobsuisse2]

The melancholy of the 80s. 😘

[@ipezmusic]

Stay on these roads is another great song.

[@jadedatheist1828]

I was shocked to see you review this version. I clicked so fast!

[@BisscuteReacts]

Its such a beautiful version!

[@Molix1981]

@@BisscuteReacts Not all songs look good in acoustic version, this is definitely one of those...

[@grisbakken]

you should hear them sing summer moved on where he held the high note looooong.

[@ahkkariq7406]

I've seen a lot of reactions to this song, both the original and this newer, slowed down version, and your reaction is the very best I've seen. You draw some parallels that are there, in the song and the two performances and put words to them in an excellent way. Thank you. A-ha has many good songs. I would recommend the sequel, 'The sun always shines on TV', 'Train of thought', 'Stay on these roads', 'Crying in the rain' (which is a cover from Everly Brothers), 'The living daylights' (Bond theme song), 'Summer moved on', 'Analogue', 'Foot of the mountain', 'Cast in steel' - there is a lot to dig into.

[@JesperHellvik]

So many a-ha songs you should react too - they have released 11 studio albums, so we're talking 125+ songs to choose from. Take On Me is far from their best song. A few suggestions: The Sun Always Shines On TV, Hunting High and Low, Scoundrel Days (basically the whole album - but at least the titel track), Manhatten Skyline, Stay On These Roads, Out Of Blue Comes Green, East Of The Sun, Crying In The Rain, Memorial Beach, Angel, Summer Moved On, Celice, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah), Forever Not Yours, Foot Of The Mountain, Nothing Is Keeping You Here, Under The Makeup, Cast In Steel...

[@user-qj3ff4wg5z]

Прекрасная песня и комментатор тоже хороша в своём деле. Молодец ! ❤

[@dennisvdwerf]

Wanna laugh? He did his own song on the masked singer. No one knew it was him. It's on KZbin. He was the viking

[@jmiddleton7961]

This song makes one remember where they were when it was popular on radio. If one is this old that is.. 😂

[@thomasfi1275]

What a beautiful reaction!

[@kevinlane7555]

Thanks...I've never heard this version...Beautiful take on a brilliant classic.....For something completely different, the group Reel Big Fish does a cool ska version.....Don't forget BABTMETAL.....you'll love it

[@TheNotedHero]

Your comment on your latest Depeche Mode song about listening to older singers and how their voices have changed over time and I immediately checked to see if you had reacted to this A-ha song. 😅

[@macgibbon]

For another amazing unplugged version of this song, try Last of Us Chapter 2. Also serves as a guitar tutorial to learn it.

[@jeffwotherspoon3867]

yeah any time you see a song done on MTV Unplugged it's always a stripped down version of the original song without all the electronics added, I agree it gives the songs a whole new feel and meaning

[@G3MiNiOfficial]

I love your mentality 💯♥️

[@keitheepoo7253]

"Its no better to be safe than sorry" I dont think so. Ide much rather revert to my old self that knew what happiness was without relying on someone else.

[@scottcrosby-art5490]

Amazing range, hasn't lost it

[@steinareggan4565]

I have seen many reactions from u now, u are really good

[@charlesmaurer6214]

Back in Jr. High and High I use to like to use take me on as a warm up song. I was a tenor. Unplugged slows it down and looses some of the parts. The or two is lost in the in a day or two in the fast version.

[@leftcoaster67]

Basically, it's the sign of age. The faster version reflects youth. The acoustic version is us getting older and it's more poignant. Can we take a moment to marvel at Pal (Paul) Waaktaar-Savoy and his magnificent songwriting. He is A-Ha's secret weapon.

[@fadhilarief1537]

So good 🤞💫💥

@@BisscuteReacts Have you ever listened to the Secret World live performance of Peter Gabriel "In Your Eyes"? It's a lovely song, and washed with a special joyfulness that I've never seen anywhere else.

[@guitar_noodle]

“A-ha” is having that 💡 moment, an idea. This was a nice mellow version. It definitely highlights the lyrics but the original is so iconic and ingrained in my memory that I can hum the main piano/keyboard melody without hearing the music.

[@01nmuskier]

The harpsichord is a perfect acoustic instrument for the organ solo.

[@ronaldoberne4221]

this is a version when they are older. much different

Just to name a "few": > "Stay On This Roads", "Summer Moved On", "Crying In The Rain", "I've Been Losing You", "Lifelines", "Train Of Thought", but specially "Hunting High and Low". Also the more recent ones, from the last album: > "The Halo And The Horn", "True North", ""You Have What It Takes", "I'm In"
