*******************
The a-ha channel is the official KZbin home of the Norwegian Pop trio a-ha, who achieved global stardom in 1985 when their debut single, “Take On Me” from the album ‘Hunting High And Low’ topped the charts in 36 different countries on its way to becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time, and the 5th most streamed song of the 20th century. a-ha struck chart gold again with “The Sun Always Shines On T.V.” and “Cry Wolf,” and recorded the theme to the 1987 James Bond film “The Living Daylights”. The a-ha KZbin channel is proud to host the music videos from these hits alongside live performance videos, lyric videos, and the solo work of band members Morten Harket (lead vocals), Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (Guitar), and Magne Furuholmen (Keyboards).

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.

Back in 1985 they were in Concord California. And my sister wasn't allowed to go unless she took me to go see these guys. At that time I never even heard of him. But when they came out I was so surprised not only do they look exactly the same as they do on TV but they sounded just as good and I was an instant fan

[@mpbarr538]

They still sound great live

I saw INXS - Listen Like Thieves tour in 1985 at Concord Pavilion when I was 19. And like 20 other shows there over the next 15 years ... Depeche, Counting Crows, James Taylor, Mellencamp, ZZ Top, Skynryd, Page/Plant, Henley, and Morrissey to name a few :)

[@bobotett4320]

A-ha, Erasure, Depeche Mode, the Pet Shop Boy and so many more the 80s was the best for music

[@deeatkinson3687]

Issues.. Not about era or song

[@dukeon]

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* 🎤 🎸 🥁

[@deps6160]

Yes, Pal was the musical genius, Morten had the voice charisma and Mags the roaring synths but whose contribution is also underrated. The band wouldnt be legendary without all 3 key players. Love them, btw since I was a kid in Greece.

[@scott80ca]

Cool. Didn't know that. Sort of like Depeche mode, where Martin Gore was the musical genius who wrote the songs and Dave Gahan the famous voice.

[@isabellep.461]

Thanks didn't know. The band is just fabulous.

Morten Harket, simply one of the most glorious voices in history.

Everything about about this song the tempo changes the arrangement etc is top notch.even after 36 years it still moves me.such a brilliant original video as well !

[@alanaleedrescher7066]

one of the most underrated songs and music videos ever

[@ULTRA_2112]

Underrated? This Song was absoloutly Top in Europe at the end of 1985 and in 1986. Number one in UK, Ireland an on European Airplay, Number two in Norway, Sweden, Danmark, Number four in the Nederlands, Number five in Germany, Belgium, Finland and on US Dance chart. At the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards, the video won in the categories Best Editing in a Video (editor: David Yardley) and Best Cinematography in a Video (director of photography: Oliver Stapleton).It also received a nomination for Best Art Direction in a Video (art director: Stefan Roman). I was there in 1986.

[@mabel8179]

I know! It's obviously 1980s but sounds as fresh and exciting today as it did to us back then. No bands today have such good melodies and exciting music ( except Sigur Ros).

[@seanmoloney7797]

It's s crime that this isn't the song people know them for. So brilliant. Epic and grandioso, yet so emotionally stirring. One of the great bands of the decade and beyond.

[@josethaman5259]

my sentiments exactly!

[@MrPeterpiper1969]

For me A-ha's greatest song will always be "Hunting High And Low" but this is a close second. Take on Me is remembered more for the video than the song I think. It was a truly groundbreaking pop video back then.

[@32VInTechV8]

for me the great song by a-ha = take on me

[@frizzlefrap]

like "take on me" and "train of thought" a lot too, don't you?

[@PolyCorpInteractive]

The whole album was brilliant, still one of my all time favourites

[@sweetpotato82]

This song make the world go 'round and 'round!"

[@dtaskar2]

A timeless song; what a masterpiece. This Norwegian group gifted us with this gem. It touches my heart every time I listen to it.

[@RyuHayabusa06]

Sometimes it's painful realizing just how long ago the 80s were. Songs like this take me back to those glorious days of childhood and it almost seems like an eternity. These songs are one of the few windows back to those days, almost like a three minute time machine. The tragedy of growing old....

[@thegteam4349]

RyuHayabusa06 We had everything to look forward to in our lives back then. Now all we can do is look back on those time with the knowledge that the anticipation of the future was often better than the reality, and wish we has lingered longer in the moment.

[@jah.3526]

I love 80s as well. Today and forever we can listen to these melodies. :-) Maybe such times come back sometime :-)

One of their best songs and one of the best songs ever written. This song has an incredible energy at so many levels! 💙

[@richardjohncrouch7617]

Yes. Simply beautiful. The video sold "take on me" but this is on a different level. The piano intro snd those strings at the instrumental break coupled with Harkets haunting vocals trailing just a split second behind makes it all the more spine tingling. Hinting high and low and stay on these roads slso. Wonderful music

This song was number 1 on the charts and beat take on me. This was a incredible song with of course Mort with his voice and the instrumental was out of this world. I always feel like I'm in another time zone with A-Ha and their music. ❤️❤️❤️

[@yesdear9453]

take on me is a good song but this is better

[@groofoot]

In the U.K. ..... yes, in the U.K., this song peaked at no. 1, while Take On Me peaked at no. 2 ..... On the U.S. Pop Singles chart, the Billboard Hot 100, 'Take On Me' went to no. 1 and this song (which I, of course, love) peaked at no. 20 ....

[@douglasdouglas1203]

This song is nearly 40 years old and it still gives me goosebumps when I crank it up . One time I was fortunate enough to take my CD over to a work buddy's house where he had and elaborate sound system. Large powerful Mcintosh amp and 6 foot tall electrostatic speakers . OMG. I hear parts of this song I never heard before even with my bad ass studio headphones . It was almost surreal to listen to this song in that setting
