The black-and-white footage and animation in the "Train Of Thought" video was the inspiration for the animation of "Take On Me." It originated as a college art project, and went on to influence the generation of MTV. The video concept was designed by the same producers of the "Take On Me" video.

*******************
The a-ha channel is the official RUclips home of the Norwegian Pop trio a-ha, who achieved global stardom in 1985 when their debut single, “Take On Me” from the album ‘Hunting High And Low’ topped the charts in 36 different countries on its way to becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time, and the 5th most streamed song of the 20th century. a-ha struck chart gold again with “The Sun Always Shines On T.V.” and “Cry Wolf,” and recorded the theme to the 1987 James Bond film “The Living Daylights”. The a-ha RUclips channel is proud to host the music videos from these hits alongside live performance videos, lyric videos, and the solo work of band members Morten Harket (lead vocals), Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (Guitar), and Magne Furuholmen (Keyboards).

Morten Harket really had one of the best voices in the business.
His vocal range is insane.
I agree 😭
Cmon people! Who’s here in 2024?! Don’t let this song die 😭
Colin Vearncombe.. ;)
@@djbitterdjb4625 lol I’m glad you and 20 people are still here
@@80sbrunnette Się nie znam. Zanotuj to ; ) Friend from Poland ;) Niedługo umrę. Światła zgasną. Zabity przez bandytów w mundurach polskiej policji.
I literally just discovered this song 🔥
Always here!❤❤
One of the most underrated bands from the 80s. All the radio loves to play is Take on Me, but my God, they've got so much more. This is but one example.
How many BPM does this song actually have? It must be one of the fastest pop songs ever :) Underestimated pop pearl.
LOL I just commented on the TOM video about them having so much more than that song :-)
The sun always shines on tv~
Infatti io lo dico sempre! Gli A-HA hanno davvero prodotto dei brani stupendi anche negli ultimi anni.
This is actually a far superior song to "Take On Me". It's right up there alongside "East Of The Sun West Of The Moon".
My absolute favourite a-ha song. Great band and great album.
2024 - what a great band. They created art and not just music.
The entire album is actually a work of art...i can listen to all the songs over and over...
Produced mostly by Tony Mansfield, of the band New Musik. He also produced Naked Eyes, and their first album from 1983 is absolutely worth listening to, I can guarantee.
@@ajs41 True, but Alan Tarney produced the two biggest hits on there. ;)
Same here. I have listened to this album now stop when I was 10 and I am now 21!
I really miss the 80's..Life was so much simpler, good music, honest people and just unregulated fun!...Take me back plz...
❤ April 2024 here!......Still loving it! ❤
Here too
I love listening to this song. It takes advantage of Morten’s insane vocal range.
Actually prefer this over take on me and I love that song too!
I remember when the band broke through. "Take On Me" was on heavy rotation on MTV, and it's a brilliant pop hit of course - many people didn't realize how perfectly crafted it was, just because it was so catchy - but when this song came along as the third single, I knew at once there was far more to A-ha than "just" the next glamorous synth pop band, this one had a very different kind of sound. It's darker, more experimental, more relentless... the lyrics are about mental discontinuity or displacement, the whole track feels influenced by Bowie's late 1970s period - and hey, the guy appearing on the platform at 3:23 even looks like Bowie at the time! (compare with his video for "Absolute Beginners", filmed around that time.
People have been telling me that the man on the platform can't be a Bowie cameo, but I remain unconvinced -and there is actually a connection between them: Steve Barron directed videos for both Bowie and A-ha in the mid-eighties - he directed the clip for "Take On Me" - so he may have asked the icon to come along for a quick shot. Anyway, this is one of the best tracks on the entire album.
How such a prolific band like that with so many classics under their sleeve can be misconsidered as a one-hit-wonder in the US is beyond my realm of understanding..
Fantastic band.They have made loads of great songs and still are 🙂
I never heard that. A-ha has always been amazing!! I love all of their songs! They’re music is timeless!!
Simply they made great songs I have started listening to theirs I’m in 50s and I was not interested in them when they were at the peak.
Love their music and lyrics 🎉
@@gwenjosie In the US they are only recognized for Take On Me
@@elizandrolorensi6571 i must be in a world of my own. I’ve always lived in the U.S. I can’t understand how anyone can only regard the one song.
a-haのミュージックビデオは、古いものでは制作後およそ36年は経過しているというのに、2021年になった今でも映像作品としての素晴らしさは色褪せることがない。心から喝采するばかり。
Aha is timeless even in 3024.❤
I was born in 1993. Bue for some reason, i want 'go back' to the 80s. What a golden time.
There will never be another band like A-HA in my opinion..they were way ahead of their time,.....such a strong sound with amazing energy.
One of the best ever!
Gotta love A-ha.
They were NOT ahead of their time - they defined the 80‘s. They WERE the 80‘s. Why are people always commenting this dumb quote 😩
40 years ago, it may be a 'dumb quote to you', but we get what is meant by it. You should chill
Il problema è definire quante band o artisti erano realmente da anni 80 in maniera piu contemporanea e quante invece piu commerciali , poiché molte erano più commerciali ed altre meno commerciali. Gli aha su questo sono state certamente una band molto bella e più particolare rispetto a tante altre . Quindi si sono ben distinti da tutto il resto . Forza a-ha sempre . Il trio delle meraviglie Morten Pal and Mags.
There is no better voice anywhere from any time. and yeah I'm still listening in 2024
Everyone: "Pan flute will never fit to a pop song"
Paul Waaktaar: "Hold my beer!"
Jajajajajajaja!!!!!! Great!!!
Vai Corinthians aha
@@laxime28 blow it out ja a**..LOL
B
Hold my guitar* :D
Morten Harket is a vocal god. What an incredible gift! In my book the best singer of my generation and beyond. Gifted! Gifted! Gifted!
Train of Thought is the most absolute song of the 1980's. 30 years later....it resonates.
In my opinion, this is one of the greatest music videos to date. The lighting and cinematography on the band is beautiful, and the black and white gives it a timeless feel. I also think that the sketch animation tells a beautiful story about a lonely, depressed middle aged man. We don't know who he is or where he's from, but we feel for him, and I want to know more about his story. This video and song is the deepest and most meaningful thing A-ha's ever done. I wish it had more recognition.
Amen my dear friend.
Wise words
Lovely post. I always found myself wondering about the man they are singing about! So unique . Love them ❤️
I would have preferred color, but was this any way computer generated?
@@SavicksterTheTrixter At the time it was made it was probably done by hand.
Amazing vocals art and keyboards from morten Paul and magne. Talented viking influence.80s such a decade of incredible music 😂❤
Lovely Nords!
A presque 60 ans, je redecouvre A-HA..intemporel !!! Que de belles mélodies...un pur bonheur !!!
Has to be listened to with good headphones to hear that synth popping in all its glory.
Got my Sennheiser CX 5.00i earphones on and the low end is incredible on them. There's some serious bass rattling the old skull now. :)
Spot on. You can hear sounds on headphones you never will catch even standing by cassette player
I want to cry, magic time, songs like that 😢
Don't cry, please.
A-ha were Norway's great gift to the 80s
My favourite of a -ha
A-ha is in my blood forever. Only band with all their albums with me. 💪💪💪
WHAT A SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 80'S RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Мортен это Норвегия!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ А Норвегия это Мортен!!! 😊
Paul Waatkar is a genius! Long live A-ha!
jajaja brasileños no les entiendo nada
Yes, I agree. Mr. Waktaar is the brain behind A-ha and other concepts.
Una obra maestra!!! Excelente canción, excelente video y excelente voz!!!! Saludos a todos desde Buenos Aires Argentina
“AAAAND NOTHIIIING, THAT HE KNOOOOWS OOOOOF”.
Gives me goosebumps every time. Love this song
Seriously....the most absolute serious songs ever made. The video...and the song made it such. A tru masterpiece.
It really feels like the band filmed all of their singles music videos in one go - all of them have similar aesthetics... really well done!
It was the same team behind the rotoscoping artwork for their first three video clips,,
One of the best 80s bands ever❤
What a voice and the lyrics are beautiful.
Once there was a sea but never was a door .
Essa voz do Morten é incrivelmente única !
Transporta para outro plano...
Um dos maiores vocalista sem dúvida
Morten con una voz incomparable... !! Sigue muy bien lo rápida que es esta melodia.. A-ha Wonderful
Concordo com você plenamente e escutando essa a-ha e Morten Harket em 2022 Canavieiras BA 🙋♂️
No A - ha cada um tem uma voz !!!
Bought this album in the 80's as a kid..now 49yrs young...I still listen to this amazing album and band.
This is one work of art by A-Ha ❤️ in my opinion, one of their more underrated songs!!
The trilogy. Take On Me, The Sun Always Shines on TV and Train of Thought
Scoundrel Days
Early Morning
There´s never a Forever Thingh
YES! I like how the beginning of the videos connect with each other.
Personally, my favorite song from a- ha, is Living a Boy's Adventure Tale but really like all their songs, especially from the Hunting High and Low album!
@@saintcasifer Living A Boy's Adventure Tale is my fave too! It's such a great song from start to finish
@@sashasiregar1238 Agree
A Music Masterpiece In Every Single Way.
Their entire first album is perfection.
А-HA это Шедевр!СУПЕР 👍👍👍
Absolute genius!! The lyrics, the melody, and the exceptional "commuter" video. Such genius!! Thank you, A-HA, Michael Patterson, and Warner Brothers.
You've missed one of the main geniuses responsible for this track - producer Tony Mansfield, who was also lead singer of the late 70s / early 80s band New Musik.
I remember listening to this album on cassette tape as a teen in the 80's. This brings back so many memories of my youth. This song is so underrated. This is a classic that never gets old. Thank you.
This is probably the best music video ever created. I adore the Take On Me video but this just blows my mind how good it is. So underrated!
check out their video for the song Hunting High and Low ruclips.net/video/s6VaeFCxta8/видео.html
It's partly based on "Commuter" by Michael Patterson (1981). You will see the shared segments. Patterson was one of the two animators on Take On Me.
@@80ssynthfan48 I thoguht it was their song Train of Thought that was based on "Commuter" ?
@@Cta2006 I was talking about Train Of Thought.
@@Cta2006 The video includes some parts of the "Commuter" video, but the song was written and recorded before they had met Michael Patterson, who had developed the rotoscoping approach seen in "Take On Me".
One of the most perfect vocalist of all time excellent 👍👍👌👌👌👌
The A&R man who first saw them at a private meeting. and decided that he and Warner would help make them famous, has recalled how impressed he was by Morten Harket (in particular): "I was like, how can this guy have both the looks of a movie star and a voice like that of Roy Orbison?". Perfectly put (it still took major efforts to get them their big break with "Take On Me").
Such emotion in his voice - powerful and so beautiful.
Yes indeed!!!!'
+Steven Rollings you speak the truth
@Louise X you appreciate good music and can see just how good this song is... and to think this came out 35 years ago! .. still sounds fresh today.
@Louise X It was a great video, but for me it's all about the music and the early A-ha songs were music perfection. You can hear all the huffs, sighs and moody groans in mortens voice, along with the contrasting music sounds that make these songs individual masterpieces.
Best male voice ever !
My favourite bit is when he sings "ANNNNND HIIIS MIIIINNND once full of reason......."
Mine is 'And his eyyyyyyyyes too numb to see.'
NOW THERE'S MORE THAN MEETS THE EYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....AHHHhhhhhhhhh the strangest ways he carries with him.... 😄👍
Mine is ... And his thoughts are full of strangers
Corridors of inked lights ❤️❤️❤️😍🙌👏👏👏👏👏
Me too
yeah that was my favorite part and then he does a high tone like a opera singer....he has done high tones in many of his songs..
Orgasmic voice ... a band still on the run ... the legend from the fjords
Cadê os brasileiros que ainda escutam musicas boas!!?
Essa música é igual uma máquina do tempo, me leva de volta para os Anos 80. Sair um poko desse mundo deprimente de hj
ruclips.net/video/5aS-T3ARTe0/видео.html
Tmj
Me lembro lá em 1988 nas manhãs de sábado limpando a casa e nem tchum pro futuro. Era só alegria sem as preocupações da vida.
Eu aqui. Desde os meus 12 anos, e hj aos 45 não paro de ouvir. Como agora por exemplo.
So glad I got to live my youth in the 80's when all this stuff was brand new, with plenty of bands to go around... 80's rule...
Well... some of the stuff at the end of that decade was (to be kind) mediocre... But a lot was great and this really is good stuff
I think this was A-ha's best track out of their whole music catalog. It should have been a massive hit in the United States, but at least it peaked in the Top 10 in both the U.K. and their home country.
***** :-)
Good, but not their best. They have many masterpieces. This is just one of them.
Angel of Silence I agree that they have many other great tracks, but this is still my favorite of theirs.
I love this song and all their others too. my fave is HUNTING HIGH AND LOW...
michael adams 'Hunting High And Low' is still, in my opinion, their best album. I do love other tracks of theirs, too. "The Blood That Moves The Body" is another one of my favorites.
This song, Here I stand and face the rain, Blue Sky and Living a boy's adventure tale are Hunting High Low's best.....
Scoundrel Days is still my favorite A-Ha album through and through, A-Z
This is one od THE BEST A HA SONGS !!!!! MORTEN SHOWING HIS SENSUALITY AND MASCULINITY
I was an army brat stationed in munster Germany in the 80s . I was early teens. These guys introduced me to girls early teens but also with some songs were heartbreaking farewells. The power of music at given times in life. Peace and love everyone
Brilliant song, fantastic music video. State of the art !!!
It's crazy how most of this stuff wasn't originally animated for this video, and yet it fits in PERFECTLY.
Just love these guys I'm losing my train of thought just by watching these 3v guys. Oh god I love them
Oh, my God! After listening this, I'm not sure that Freddy was the best voice from all times! Outstanding!
So many Memories...
I loved a-ha first time round in the 80s. Forgot them until 6months ago and have since been obsessed. Their back catalog is amazing. And Morten's voice is just perfection.
Me too. Recently watched The Masked Singer. Morten was on it. I've since become utterly obsessed with him and have been listening to A-ha non stop. Have booked tickets for their tour next year 😂
@@janettejennings2930 That makes me happy to hear. You are in for a treat, if you never heard their first 3-4 albums + the later ones. It was a period when they spent many years between each album, but the quality never gone down imo. You might want to listen to their later albums several times before you find "your" songs.
Fabulous voice. I probably never heard more resonant voice in such a wide range from deep full chest voice up to that epic mix. Extremely powerfull with beautiful colour at the same time.
I'm familiar with many fantastic rock/metal singers but Morten is my favourite - he had it all. Ofcourse Freddie will always be the G.O.A.T
One of Aha´s most powerful songs.
One of my favorite A-ha songs
This makes me feel like I am on a train back to the 80's. Love the pan flute solo 👌 great just great
Morten's looks and voice in Train of Thought are so achingly beautiful he seems unearthly. Like an angel from another place. Unbelievably gorgeous. He almost looks sculptured. One of their best tracks in my opinion. Still so fresh over 30 years later.
I pinned it to mad shenans :)
He’s listening to it now
Morton and Maggs ruined me for all other men for all time. LOL I’ve been enslaved to Norwegian men ever since!
Domino Dancer achingly beautiful. That's a perfect description for these guys and their music.
@@mistreme8341 same here but with actor Rutger Hauer instead..those Euro guys are HOT!
@Domino Dancer totally agree with you, otherworldy...
I love this song!!!!! A-HA FOREVER!!
I never new this song existed until I bought the album, love it.
Back in the 80 s I had this album, I used to play it all the time. I miss those times😢
Always my favorite song! I love you guys forever! So sweet. And my favorite Scandinavian men!!!!
This song is genius. I'm a musician take my word.
An incredible band. So talented.
Just pure talent. Scandinavian genius
One of my favourites songs of all time 👍🏼
Classic. Brilliant album too.
That voice…those looks. All three. No one beats them
2018년에 봐도 뮤비가 촌스러움이 안느껴져요 노래도 세련^^
I completely understand my mum for a-ha being her favourite band in the 80s
BAHAHA she has a great taste in music, even mentioned how gorgeous
Morten was not that long ago and I have to agree with her on that one
Fact : These men are heroes !! I made a ska-pop tribute version of this song. Many thanks to a-ha with their great music !!!
Best band on this planet.period!
one of the most underrated masterpieces of '80s
Uma explosão de ritmos e melodia..o vocal de Morten completa a mágica 🎶😃
ruclips.net/video/5aS-T3ARTe0/видео.html
Concordo
Verdade..👏👏
A-ha's music is a surrealistic masterpiece on a vocal canvas...masterpieces all!
One of my favorite A-HA tracks. Loved it the first time I heard it in the 80's
An element of the videos from the first album that no one seems to touch upon but that I especially love is how they all connect. The end of one leads right into another, creating a near-seamless story yet without an actual interconnecting story.
I saw A-Ha in concert twice in 1986 and had the pleasure of sharing New Years Eve 1986 with them at the Royal Albert Hall. Amazing band then and still are today. Morten was mesmerising to watch and I'll cherish the photos I took that night forever. I have never seen a more handsome man in the last 30 years.
Wow ! You are so lucky to be there... I first listened to a ha in 1989 when i was sixteen.....
即使過了三十幾年，MV看起來還是那麼有質感，好文青！
This is a great track ! Great video and a ridiculously handsome Morten ! ❤
his voice is unbeleivable.
Oh Lawrd....this is so fantastic. One of their best songs.
Can we please have powerful, groovy synthpop again with intelligent lyrics???!!
I LOVE A-HA!
I love fish and chips !!

and scoundrel days instrumental
Same here,good call.Phenomenal track
Lyrics
He likes to have the morning papers
Crossword solved
Words go up words come down
Forwards backwards twisted round
He grabs a pile of letters from a small suitcase
Disappears into an office
It's another working day
And his thoughts are full of strangers
Corridors of inked lights
And his mind once full of reason
Now there's more than meets the eye
Oh, a strangers face he carries with him
He likes a bit of reading on the subway home
A distant radio whistling tunes that nobody knows
At home a house awaits him
He unlocks the door
Thinking once there was a sea here
But there never was a door
And his thoughts are full of strangers
And his eyes to numb to see
And nothing that he knows of
And nowhere where he's been
Was ever quite like this
And his thoughts
And at heart
He's full of strangers
Dodging on his train of thought
Train of thought
Even the lyrics are great. They were a quality band in all aspects of being artists. Mags is a creative soul + painter, Paal is a skilled guitarist and songwriter and Morten got the best vocal range a music artist can only dream of. Plus good looks for the teenage girls :) And some gay men I am sure.
@@jmp01a24 Some gay men? Sure, but I would say MOST of gay men!
Great song!!! Great Band!!!
this song is about a gifted mind. Thanks A-ha
This music entered the album of a-ha which I bought for the first time. As I heard it many times, it remains in the ear.
The same here
A qualidade da musica do A-HA é unica só pessoas de personalidade pra ouvir e gosta dessa banda maravilhosa.
