I love A-ha, and I love Morten Harket's voice! This is one of their most special songs. I have been their fan for the past 26 years, and I am very much an American! Truly, I think the entire world loves these Norwegian artists!
i remember them from 84,when mtv was still a cool channell,i love every song that comes out of a-has mouth,,every song is pure magic,hell i think the whole country of norway is magic,
great band, i remember take on me from the 80's, hunting high and low, stay on these roads, and many more hits like summer moved on, , they always made superb music, im sure Norway is proud of this boys, they are top
Honey I was 09 years old when these guys started playing "take on me " on TV ...an believe me , It really was like we lived in a ream....Now that I m 37 , they'r still playing ...so cool ...
Just saw them 4 days ago here in Toronto ~ Saw them 1st time they were here on Oct 16, 1986 and they played at the same place, Massey Hall. LOVE them, and Morten this year, is turning 51 or 52 ~
Well, this song is simply the most beautiful in the world of music, and Morten has a voice more beautiful in the world. I was very saddened by the separation of A-ha in 1993, most fortunately for his fans and show them again was amazing.
I love the comment in the info, philipcarol! And I agree, I was completely blown away when I discovered A-ha too. And this song is indeed hauntingly amazing.
Well, A-Ha just like ABBA were much more than just a music band, they were also iconic fashion statement. Besides being great musicians with clear, original sound, A-Ha and ABBA looked incredibly good on the stage and videos..
Thanks for posting this video - I always love to see and hear them performing live !!! I of course envy that lucky girl, even though I would probably not hang around Morten's neck when he is about to sing one of the greatest a-ha songs...! :-)) xxx
I agree with you completely, philipcarol! Both about this song and about a-ha in general. I was into them in 1987-88 and then again for a while in 1991 when I for some reason decided to buy the "Stay On The Roads" album. I loved it, and the title track especially. It's been one of my favorite songs since then. Didn't see them live until this year, and just like with you, it completely blew my mind! Thanks for sharing this. Exactly when was this version performed and in what context?
Per Lindvall... Well remembered! And it's very curious the fact that he only plays with bands which names begin and end with the letter "A". What about A-ha? The guys are really fabulous! Morten's voice is still so nice, sweet, wonderful... And Mags playing guitar? It happens sometimes... And Pal is at least one of the best composers the world has seen. A-ha rules forever!
Hi ! a-ha fanatic here. :-) You wrote: "When I saw this concert from the mid 90s, I was completely blown away! " I'm not sure if you refer to this clip as being from a concert from the mid 90's, or if I misunderstand that, but this particular clip is from a concert in Februari 2006. The song is indeed beautiful. (but hey : I'm probably biased. ) For a little different beautiful live version of this song, search here on RUclips for stay on these roads and Vallhall.
korrekt! As Magne F often presents him in concerts: The guy that only plays with bands beginning and ending with A's in their name. (Referring of course to his past with ABBA).
I think it is not Morten having difficulties, but the sound was mixed wrong - he is almost drowned by the drums and the guitars, so he was really trying hard to make the song heard over all the instruments...imo... ;-) xxx
hea,morten, i do be wanting that shirt,heheheh that girl that had ahild of him at the first, now she had the right idea,heheheh,,,,i love this song, i just love morten and a-ha,,can you say,,,,sex bombs????
this is the best description ever for this great band! Greetings from Greece
You are so right Christos

do you also have the a-ha version of crying in the rain?
Original from the everly brothers?
Ow I have some great A-ha memories
He's 50 there????? Yeah the Lord blessed him with a good look.
minha musicaaaaaaa
You cant consider them as a one-hit wonder as they aren't? hehe:P
Almost annoying that people think that, cuz a-ha have so many great songs!
morten was so nice to that crazy girl who was clinging on to his neck lol
i agree,too
pense numa musica gostosa de se escutar!
Morten ainda tá cantando pra caralho!
don`t forget people 19.11.2010 BIRMINGHAM LG ARENA. i`ll be there
@geoffers35 well, they split up in the nineties too, so lets hope for the best :)
STAY ON THESE ROADS :D:D:D::DD YEAHHH:D

AMO a Morten.
Aha's best song next to "Hunting high and low"

Morten é foda
i bet she never washed her face again!!
Morten is 50, but looks 30
This is the only A-HA song i bought. I love the song, but live is shit - didn't they do a video for this?
this version is a far cry from the original, love the guitar arrangements in this
