Take On Me - Erik Grönwall (a-ha Cover)

THE LAST OF US - Erik Grönwall - Take On Me (Aha Cover)
A homage to The Last Of Us series and a-ha. The song Take On Me is in the trailer and the character Ellie plays it in the video game. I'm a fan of the video game and the series.

We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh, the things that you say, yeah
Is it life or
Just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day
I'll be gone (take on me, take on me)
In a day (take me on, take on me)
(Take on me, take on me)
(Take me on, take on me)
(Take on me)

Can’t improve on the original and nobody can touch morten harket’s vocals.

[@ranmatthews2700]

@@markwebster7435 For me, I’ve always been more into rock than pop, so this one hits hard. I like the slightly more downbeat & chilled out nature of it. But you’re right, no one can quite hit those high notes like Morten can!

[@uriel4418]

Ladies and gentlemen, the man, the myth, the legend, the one and only ERIK GRONWALL! Mind blowing!!!! Superb!

You're the best!

[@douglasboon3587]

I totally agree! Not many vocalists sing high with such ease, power, cleanness and perfection as Erik! Blows me away!

[@jeffgruhler4697]

Just love this guy's pipes! Keep recording, man...bands come and go...you with the right music....just perfection! All of these you picked...rainbow in the dark, etc...blew me away...ever feel the the need for creativity or in a lull...come to Florida...take you out on my jet ski to revive it! Thanks, for the gift you share!

Thanks Jeff! I will keep that in mind and keep releasing music!

[@nkotbjunkie]

You definitely need to make all your covers available. Is there anything you can’t sing? Amazing range. How about purple Rain? ❤❤

[@gulfvet9192]

Simply amazing…I remember when the original was released. You totally did it justice

[@michellecraig53]

I loved this song when Morten from A-HA sang it! But, this is an amazing cover, the musicians are awesome too!!

Dam, Erik. That was so badass. One of my all time favorite songs. You are amazing.

Thank you so much !

Love the editing with the cartoonist graphics as in the original video from A-ha! Brings me back good memories! Brilliant Erik!

[@rockondudez]

What an AWESOME cover of a hit that I grew up with!!!! Well done, Erik and keep rocking!!!!

Thank you so much !

[@SASQUATCHBROTHERS]

i gotta admit so cool to see all these covers . Alot of famous bands would not want their singer doing something like this ....BUT you are showing the world you are talented above and beyond Skid Row, your talent shines through...Too bad skid row wasn't recording new material with you every time you have so much time on your hands ...i want to see a band release new songs once every 3 weeks...good work as always

[@scorpio0685]

Another one of my all time favourite songs again sung brilliantly by you Erik ! Amazing ❤🎉 You are soooo talented mate . Love from the land down under xx

[@user-zo3mm9is4w]

Очень вкусно спето. Очень стильно сделано видео. Очень хочется переслушивать))) Эрик, я сейчас сделаю отдельный плейлист и назову его "Эрик". Мне очень-очень нравится как ты поёшь каверы, как ты делаешь видео на них, очень качественно и с большим уважением. Мои уши и душа отдыхают, и наслаждаются песнями и твоим голосом.

[@cyndihowey2257]

Awesome arrangement and you rocked it Erik!!!

[@baratrongirl]

I do not have words for how good your voice is. Your covers are fascinating because you don't just have vocal power, control, and pitch - you ALSO mimic the original singer to some extent. When you sing "Headless Cross" you sound like Tony Martin. When you sing "Take On Me" you sound like Morten Harket. And of course, when you sing those older Skid Row songs, you sound like Sebastian, back when he COULD sing, before he wrecked his voice. Apparently you want to go through my entire childhood, what with this a-ha and the Appetite For Destruction covers, and of course the Skid Row. And I for one am not complaining, because you're ridiculously talented. Stay humble and take care of your voice, and we'll keep cheering you on

[@vixx4269]

Wow!!!! You just made this huge!!!!!...sound, video and voice all amazing, your covers just get better & better 🤘

Thank you so much 😀

[@steve07105]

This is priceless what they did to this song! Amazing guys!

[@jonathangriffin9111]

Simply. Amazing. Love how you dropped low early in the song leaving us wondering and curious, only to take us on the high trip at the end. \m/

Thanks man

[@michaela3440]

Wow.......just wow......I'm speechless! Brilliant . I didn't know that someone would be able to do this song better than Morten. Soo much emotion.....goosebumps.....I love it 💕. The video with the comic part like in the original is great too. Again, you have outdone yourself

Thank you Michaela. I was very pleased when I figured out how to do the comic part in the video. I think it's adding something cool to the video.

Hi Erik, I'm French and I've been following you since you joined "H.E.A.T" which has become with you, with your voice and your monstrous energy, a band I love. You are one of my favorite voices, I love the great singers of my childhood like Steve Perry (I loved your cover of "Separate Ways"), Jimi Jameson, Dave Bikler, Joey Tempest, and others in the same register of voice (Survivor remains for me a group that made extraordinary songs and that I knew in 1983 through some of my favorite movies with Stallone that put in the 80s songs and groups or great singer). You understood it I like the Hard FM (I believe that in English, we call it "A.O.R". For me you have largely your place among these great singers, you have an extraordinary voice and you use it with a total mastery, it is fabulous to hear. So, all this to ask you if you think it's possible and if you want of course, to do a cover of my favorite Suvivor song is "Ever Since the World Began". I hope to be able to hear this cover which with your voice and your interpretation will be magnificent... Musically to you. Laurent
