"Take on me "
Obviously a pop classic but.... Listen to (Living a boy's adventure tale) it's one of those most would think they might pull off at karaoke, until the end bit. Wow, no chance!! ![](/icons/s/mrgreen.gif) |

"Axle rose."
Mmmm. He did cover for acdc on tour and did a stellar job of Thunder Struck. But nah, not got the diversity of vocal gymnastics Morten has. ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

No, Morten doesn't randomly kick people in bollocks. ![](/icons/s/mrgreen.gif) |

Agreed but I'm talking the overall expressiveness of a non classically trained pop singer whose voice gives busegumps in delivery.

"Hunting Hugh and Low is actually my favourite.
Every time I hear it I get goosebumps (if you know the song, you know exactly when)"
Always though that would have better suited a Bond Song than living daylights. Which was utter shit. ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

So. A-ha.
It's very easy to shrug them off as another 80s boy band. Couple of catchy hits and nothing else.
But they were so much more. If Morten wasn't so incredibly good looking, people might have listened a bit more. As it was, they were dismissed as nothing more than some good looking lads put together for the MTV generation.
Imagine writing "The Sun Always Shines on TV" and it NOT being your most famous song? Imagine having "Hunting High And Low" in your repertoire and people hardly mentioning it? Imagine having the temerity to do a Bond song and wiping the floor with those that had tried before?
If A-ha had been around in any other decade than the 80s, the music press would have absolutely lapped them up. As it was, they were dismissed as one hit wonders and pretty boys.
But I don't care. This makes them even more special.
Well done OP for highlighting this.

This has just inspired me to listen to them today. I never got into them past the two songs I know. Sun always shines and take on me.

Matt Bellamy (Muse) has THE most incredible range.
Personally, on Aha, I liked Scoundrel Days as its that tricky "2nd album" and it's much more mature and assured. "I've been losing you", "manhatten skyline" ...and for pop you have cry wolf and weight of the wind.... |
