1985 was the height of the 80's. The height sustained until 1988 and that is when the music started to change to sound more like early 90's. I remember thinking in 1988 how the music sounded different than it did a few years earlier. Man, the 80's was a fantastic time to be alive. The music really made the 1980's.

Pål Waaktaar Gamst (now Paul Waaktar-Savoy), the lead guitarist, is also the underrated genius who wrote most of a-ha’s songs, and basically all of the lyrics. Morton of course has that effortless frontman charisma and one of the greatest pop voices of all time, and he deserves all the kudos he gets and more, but I wonder how many people know that he’s mostly singing Paul’s incredible original songs? Plus, as a three piece band (with added members occasionally), they were/are a really tight pop rock group and just as amazing live as on vinyl! No studio shenanigans here, these guys were and are the *real deal* 🎤 🎸 🥁

Lyrics : 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 To me... I Reached inside myself And found nothing there To ease the pressure off My ever worried mind All my powers waste away I fear the crazed and lonely looks The mirror's sending me These Days 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 Please don't ask me to defend The shamefull lowlands Of the way I'm drifting Gloomily through time (Touch me) I reached inside myself today (Give all your love) Thinking there's got to be some way To keep my troubles distant Hold me Close to your heart Touch me And give all your love to me

[@jameswasil]

@@befthug3601 That's true. But understand that we now live in a police state across the UK and the US to where their freedoms to express themselves and enjoy themselves are punished. When you add to that their outright fear to be able to or learn how to express themselves, they don't know what else to do but look down at their little phones and tablets because it's a virtual "safe space" for them. They don't have to worry about or deal with the real world, and that's the danger of those devices more than anything, like it is likewise with youtube and other platforms. They are conditioned to "obey" and never question, and when they do question, they are only permitted to do it with lies and bullshit they were indoctrinated with by those who wrote history after destroying those who once fought to preserve that freedom and individuality. What they are left with is where we are at today. You're right about what you said, but it's important to understand the how and why of that, and that these kids today don't get to know or aren't allowed to have the information, the freedom of expression, or the flexibility TO ever know better or know what we do.

[@thegteam4349]

A powerful influence on my youth. The Sun Always Shines on TV changed my life’s trajectory in many ways. I wasn’t very confident, not a super model looking young man for sure.

For those of us who grew up in the 80s...we truly had the best of times - coming of age at a time without social media distractions, fear of school shootings, or a terrifying pandemic. I always loved this song but had kind of forgotten about it and then rediscovered it a few months ago when it came on First Wave on Sirius in my car one day. If you haven't watched the 2017 live MTV unplugged concert version do yourself a favor and look that one up next.

The 80's had, statistically, the worst outbreak of violent crime in recorded American history. The introduction of meth and crack cocaine increased the profits and, by extension the allure of street level gang crime. The terrifying epidemic AIDS was killing people left and right and we had no fucking idea how contagious it was for, like seven years. Dystopian and post-apocalypse science fiction captured the public imagination because apocalyptic fears were the highest since the Cuban Missile Crisis. The 80's was a fucking hellscape with, admittedly, some pretty sweet pop hits.

Such an underrated song from one of the most underrated bands ever. Epic, moving, brilliantly written, produced & recorded. A-ha will always be one of my favourite 80s music groups of all time! 🎤🎧🎶🎸😊 **And in response to all of those who have been ridiculously negative towards my post, please re-read my comments! Did I say that A-ha is a pathetic, waste of time, has-been music group?? My understanding of being underrated means not being given the status or recognition worldwide that Morten & his band mates so obviously deserved. They're one of many music groups from the past who wrote &/or performed exceptional tunes that weren't given the airtime they deserved. So have I cleared things up now? I guess further comments will answer that question! 🤔🙏

When I was a teenager in the 80's, I traveled to Mexico in a sailing vessel with my family. We decided to live like sailors and go where the wind took us. At that time and before we left, we recorded our favorite local Los Angeles radio station using a "boom box" and magnetic audio cassettes. So, we taped hours of music, DJ comments, commercials, station call letters etc. Basically, it was like a snapshot in time of what was happening on the radio. This song was one of the many we recorded and listened to for hours traveling the Baja California coast and the Sea of Cortez. When I hear it, it brings me back in time.
