[@m-arky66]

The whole "Hunting High & Low" album is a regular play for me, but i'm stuck in the 80's.

[@sandichase7571]

I have loved this for years.

[@electronash]

Morten Harket - the voice that helped define "the sound of the 80s". One of the best singers out there.

[@andreamaronn4510]

And he can still hit that falsetto! ❤️

[@cornievandermerwe4152]

I loved seeing him on "The Masked Singer' I couldn't believe the judges couldn't guess him. His versions of "The Scientist", "Watermelon sugar" and Seal's "Crazy" was astounding. Better than the originals, in my opinion

[@electronash]

@@cornievandermerwe4152 Yep, I saw that. lol I think it was one of the most obvious ever on there, so it confirms the judges are told not to say, to keep the "suspense" going.

[@almaonyx933]

@@WriteChords I agree!

[@ElanurMH]

They are known as "One Hit Wonder" in the USA, but everywhere else they're "Every-Song-A-Hit-Wonder". 😁 In addition to various solo projects and live albums, they have released 11 studio albums, so calculate how many hits they had and I'm only talking about the singles they released out of the albums. They often didn't even released their best songs as single. On the other hand, almost every a-ha song is a masterpiece. Sometimes I think they rolled the dice which song should be released as a single 🤔😄

[@dglcomputers1498]

Interestingly this was their UK number one hit not Take On Me which I think only got to number 2 in the charts.

[@ElanurMH]

@@dglcomputers1498 The Sun Always Shines On Tv is a much better song than Take On Me in comparison within the A-ha discography) and it earned 1st place on the charts. But compared to the general music landscape of the time, Take On Me was ahead of its time and also rightly deserved the top spot in charts all over the world. This song has a strange charm and almost has its own personality. Unfortunately, the charm of this song and the outstanding video stole the attention from the other, better a-ha songs in my opinion

[@aluwanimoyo4093]

I think thankfully the advent of streaming has helped to erase that tag somewhat, coz they do impressive numbers on Spotify - way better than any of their contemporaries from back then. Absolute legends!

[@AI_Surfer]

'Take On Me' is the A-ha song that gets all the love, but 'The Sun Always Shines On TV' is an equally great song in my humble opinion. And the strings are great enough to make Jeff Lynne of ELO proud.

[@MrRugger]

This one is better IMO. ELO is great too. The older I get the more I appreciate them.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

I've seen videos of other people covering the song.

[@GroovingPict]

Fun fact: Take On Me only reached #2 in the UK, but The Sun Always Shines On TV reached #1. Handy little quiz fact ;)

[@JustaGuy2.0]

A-Ha is an amazing band. "Stay On This Roads", "Summer Moved On", "Crying In The Rain", "I've Been Losing You", "Lifelines", "Train Of Thought", "I'm In" but specially "Hunting High and Low" Of course i'm not talking about "Take On Me" (their most famous one) since you guys already reacted to it. But you need to react the "Take On Me" MTV unplugged version. Morten Harket's voice is simply amazing Edit: One beautiful song i just heard "The Halo And The Horn", from 2022. This guys are, since the very beginning, simply genius. Morten's voice is one of the best ever, it's like an opera singer that doesn't sing opera. "YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES" Another one "True North"....ok, i'll stop now, this is becoming ridiculous 😆

Hunting High And Low is my favourite of theirs, haunting and beautiful ❤️

I pretty agree that is their greatest song. Maybee. I cant agree myself if this song "Stay on these Roads" are the better. The latter is insane good, and Mortens voice is just insane good at "stay on these Roads" sounds like its a studio recording. But is not. Listen to his voice at the Nobel peace concert.

[@bethcushway458]

Incredible song. Still gives me goosepimples every time I hear it❤️

[@TimothySmiths]

My favorite song of theirs, lots of memories with this one,also back in the 80's we'd have radio stations doing their own remixes for the songs or use the official 12" and often would throw them onto the radio instead of hearing just the single version all the time,and this is one I remember mixes for a lot.

[@KyleReeseCel2029]

This is near the tippy top of the list of best songs of the 80's. You can't get much better than this for synthpop.

My sister-in-Law is really into 'The Masked Singer' (UK Version) and my wife and I visited her one evening when it was on TV. The person performing as 'The Viking' came on and as soon as they started singing I said "That's Morton Harket", I recognise his voice and I was right. Apparently one week he even sang his one song 'Take on me' and they still never guessed that it was him. How can anyone not spot Morten Harket' voice it's so unique, and great.

[@N.Sloane]

This is my favorite A-Ha song. They did a re-visited version of Take on me, very stripped down for MTV unplugged. It's slower but the instrumentation, and the vocals are haunting. Also I read another comment where Ren (artist name) was suggested for you. I would highly suggest you take a listen, not just to Hi Ren, which is his newer release and his biggest song so far, but to his work also with his band The Big Push. Also there's a trilogy of songs (the Jenny and Screech Trilogy with Violet's story in full) it's definitely an experience. Ren is indefinable as it pertains to genre because he crosses over so many in his music. Ren is definitely something extraordinary (especially lyrically, his story telling is un matched) to be experienced. I would think of him as a modern day Minstrel. There really is no other way to describe him... also bring your kleenex when you do check him out, you'll need it.

[@LiberalsArePoop]

I saw a reaction to Hi Ren. Interesting song, not sure that I really liked it though.

[@N.Sloane]

@@LiberalsArePoop It's big appeal is it speaks to mental illness and the inner struggle of the duality of man. It's just a conversation most people don't have. The reason it's going viral is entirely different. The artist Ren himself has gone through hell and back. He has spent most of his life sick. He was misdiagnosed for years. By the time they diagnosed his lime disease his body was so deteriorated. he had to go to specialists for stem cell treatments and all still he has all sorts of health (mental and physical) issues he still has to deal with in the aftermath even though he's doing much better now. Most of the music he's putting out now as a solo artist he wrote, recorded, mixed, mastered, and produced himself. As a musician he's extraordinary, and I'm not one to dole out the compliments. Check out his Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla, and Blind Eyed with Sam Tompkins. The styles of these other songs vary so very much from Hi Ren. I promise you. It'll give you a better overview of his talent before you write him off as an artist. Also he is in a band called Big Push which has a ska influence, but is just absolutely lovely in the way they cover some really good songs. I don't even mean the reggae songs they cover. They cover black sabbath, Bill Withers... I wouldn't write the guy off for the one song that jumps genres over and over to tell the tale of his struggles, without at least taking a look at a few other songs. I promise you it's well worth the listen.

[@herobreaker9011]

[@stevehamilton8824]

A-Ha is one of my favorite bands ever. This band is out of Norway and while they only had a couple of hits in the United States, they are international phenomenons. "Take On Me", this song and "The Living DayLights" from the James Bond film were their most popular here. Morten Harket has an incredible voice and a sound that is unique unto themselves. This song is off of the album Hunting High & Low, along with "Take on Me". The video for "Take on Me" clearly was one that people were drawn to and remains one of the most iconic songs of all-time, but their music is excellent. Not all of it is hard driving like this one, or synth pop like "Take on Me". Their songs can be deep in reflection and often times slow, using Morten's voice as the primary. Nonetheless, they have some incredible music that you should dive deeper into. Check out - "I've Been Losing You", "Scoundrel Days", "The Living Daylights (James Bond soundtrack)", "Crying in the Rain", "Early Morning". As mentioned, many will not be known in this country but by true fans.

[@caroxnl]

Being an 80ties kid, I was a huge fan of A-ha! They had multiple hits thoughout many years in Europe. They have made some incredible music, not always recognized everywhere. And like others mentioned, some of their best songs didn't make it as a single. But there have been a lot of younger bands saying they were influenced by them, like Coldplay. Who are good friends with Mags (the keyboardplayer/cowriter) And U2 refered to them with their song 'beautiful day' at a concert... (since they have the same lyric part..."touch me") Not sure if it still stands, but A-ha has held the Guinness World Record for a long time of the biggest paying audience at a live concert, with over 200.000 people at Rock in Rio. Hunting High and Low should def be on your list as a power ballad. And from their second album, 'I've been losing you', as a totally different, more rock vibe. The band has been on hiatus multiple times, but blood is thicker than water. So they end up back together again every time, eventhough the 3 members don't always get along. All above 60 by now. And with various soloprojects, the main writer and guitarist Pal Waaktaar, has just released an new album with his wife Lauren and their band called Savoy.

Theyr first ever single was Take On me,and that had them conquer the world as the first band coming out of Norway,noone has accomplished the same ever since. But i consider them a multi hit band and quite legendary,still active today and original lineup for 41 years and counting (as of 2023) In the US i know ZZ Top could brag of the same thing,only thing that put a stop to that streak was the sad news about Dusty Hill passing. (Long live his memory!) You want A-ha to really blow you away? A-ha-Train of Thought and A-ha- The Blood That Moves The Body,i consider them theyr 2 best songs. Or if you want to see them with a couple of theyr US shot music videos,where they show theyr out of theyr comfort zone,silly sides? a-ha - Touchy! & a-ha - You Are the One (Shot both in New Jersey and New York) And i know you want to experience a-ha-summer moved on,where Morten gained a place in the Guinness World Of Records for the longest sustainable note in pop music,wich noone has done longer till this day. Still they are soo underrated as a band,any of theyr songs is an absolute masterpiece. If you want a completely different sound from them again,i recommend a song like: a-ha-move to memphis. Its defintly more pop-rock vibed,more UMPF and Attitude lol. You can never go wrong with any A-ha song,and you will learn that "why wasnt this a hit over here,its brilliant!". It still baffles me,and i grew up with theese guys being my favourite band.
