Take On Me | a-ha (Harp Cover)

RIP my wrists. (Just kidding, RIP my computer.)
It's impossible to cover "Take On Me" without paying homage to a-ha's iconic music video.

That was a great "take" on Take On Me.

[@vkvkvk1235]

That's A HA on A HArp! Wow!

[@NaomiSV]

a-harp!

[@robertomosca3483]

I remember seeing the video for Take On Me during the 1980’s. You play the harp excellently and the art work matches the original video by A HA. 💜🧡❤️💛🌈🌼

[@marco.trevisan]

It would be a crime to watch this without giving it a like. The very least thing I can do in exchange of the joy I get.

[@NaomiSV]

Haha thank you! 👍

[@MrSleazey]

This is a truly unique and beautiful homage to the original. Thank you so much for this!

[@buwaya5704]

such nostalgia he 80's

[@AllenMZim]

Such a cool take on this song! (No pun intended!) And those art effects look fantastic! It always amazes me how your videos are also works of art unto themselves! 😃

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you! I enjoy trying to find ways to make each video unique despite being shot in front of the same white wall!

I played this to the sheep on the farm. When they realised it was A-HA, they sheared themselves. Thanks a lot :)

[@stevehorst1712]

That was so cool Naomi! Your harp play of a-ha " Take On Me" was great and then the Black and White line transformation knocked it out of the park. Whenever I need a smile, I seem to find something new you've created. You're a true artist and please keep up the good work for your fans! Beautiful instrument, too. :)

[@freedomzvision]

Time flies - you are so talented and beautiful. 🏵

[@roberthou2085]

Naomi , Your performance is terrific. Energetic hit which can rock the whole club now has been turned into a smooth touch by your harp. What an amazing play you did.

[@bruisedhelmet8819]

Thanks for the smile. As cliché as it is there is something about that song that "feel-good" and your version and video was a pleasure.

[@Funzo3]

With the VFX too! Amazing!

[@Duckie313]

Aaaah! The flashbacks, the flashbacks are real! all of a sudden I have a mullet, wear pastel colored Poco Locos and stone washed jeans again. :P Although "Take on Me" had the better video, my fave song from that album was "The Sun Always Shines on T.V.", there was a brief moment at the start of that video as well where I thought they were going down the cartoon path again. As always, excellent video from you Naomi, I bet you have loads of fun making these, always fun to learn new stuff and challenge yourself with the production.

Here I was thinking my superpower was to lure wildlife, when in fact it’s to give instant mullets…

Nice One of my favorite songs (and Videos) from the mid 80's I was in my 20's and serving in the US Air Force at the time bunch of memories came flooding back. LOL I was big into Motorcycles and Animation back then and this was one of my favorite videos because it had both. Also LOL now I'm 60 and into bicycles and animation😆

[@NaomiSV]

Ooh now I’m wondering if I can play the harp on a motorcycle! Better to animate that than try it for real…

[@bikecommuter24]

@@NaomiSV They got special motorcycles they tow behind a truck just for that kind of thing

[@sdingeswho]

Lovely and imaginative arrangement, as always, Naomi 🥰! I come up with crazy musical ideas every now and again, but “Take On Me” on a harp just never entered my mind 😮😁! Great recreation of the rotoscoped animation, too 😁❤️! Makes me want to be your man in the mirror 😎❤️ … but unfortunately I am not hunky or young 😂! Bravo! 👏 P.S. Now you’ve done it 😮😎😋 … “99 Luftballons” on harp 😂! But the flash-pots would scare the Hell out of the poor deer 🦌 😅! The harp would be a natural for the final glissando, as the balloon floats away, though 🙂!

Hi, Naomi. I'm just sending you some smiles for you and your computer on this fabulous Sunday. Hey, I believe it's about that time for releasing "The Harp Corner, Vol. III" so I can listen to your awesome performances without KZbin! Although, I can still see your videos and facial expressions in my mind's eye, even while folding clothes! 😉 P.S. I sent you a super thanks earlier, but it didn't go through I guess. If you get both, that's even better! haha.

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you so much Phillip, hope it made you smile too! I still have one or two extra songs I’d like to include on The Harp Corner vol. III, but I’m hoping to release it by the end of spring!
