Harket has been estimated as having a 5 Octave voice (he admits he never got it tested), so he can sound dramatically different if he chooses. The band have a lot of very Rock sounding tracks and albums in their history, where the vocals are equally impressive yet different...
Pauls songwriting is so good.

You can never go wrong with a-ha
A-ha means a lot to many of us,...a whole melanchonic life
The Nobel Peace Prize performance live was incredible as well. Very emotive, he held that note seemingly longer.
see the Valhall performance
He really can sound like on the record live! Being in the audience listening to his voice is an out of body experience! Like a waterfall through your heart!
You can really cry and touch the sky listening Morten's voice and A-ha's music. Their notes keep closed in my tears. What a pleasure! I can't describe. Thanks.
I really enjoy the a-ha reactions. I recommend checking out "Stay On These Roads", "Lifelines", "You Are The One" and their cover of "Crying In The Rain" just to mention a few.
those are beautiful songs
The best band!!
Add Analogue and Foot of the Mountain to that excellent list.
May I back in time? I'd like to enjoy their best time. A-HA ARE MY LOVE

English isn't my first language but it sounded to me as if summer was a metaphor to their youth in the band and the song transformed the happy and carefree vibe of the 80s into melancholy in turn of the millennium.
You are right. The song was written especially for their first live performance after four years apart, the Nobel Peace Concert in 1998. It was ment as an explanation to the audience about what happened to the band, and why they been away from the public for so long.
Wow...never thot of it that way. Very good! ☺️
@@ahkkariq7406 wow, thanks so much for that explanation! Appreciate it. I've just found them. I didn't know they'd done anything other than Take On Me, which I will ALWAYS LOVE! I'm their age, but I guess the powers that be, in the states, didn't appreciate them. What a damn shame! They should have sooo many hit songs...#1, at that! Awesome music & Päl should be up there as one the the guitar greats! They got effed in our country, imo! I'd have been a HUGE fan...but I am now! That's a once in a generation voice! Gives me goosebumps! & of course, still very nice to look at! 🥴

There are various explanations for what happened when the American music industry turned its back on the band. They themselves say that it was a matter of time. They had to choose between spending more time in the US to build up a fan base, or to include Europe as well. Since they were European, and at the very start of their career, they naturally chose Europe, since they are Norwegian, and it is closer to home.
I'm Norwegian, and was 18 when they broke through. I was a big fan in the early years. Later I dropped out, but rediscovered the band a couple of years ago. I have spent a lot of time familiarizing myself with not only the music, but also the band's history. I think there is more behind it in the form of the band not being willing to allow themselves to be corrupted, but of course I can not know for sure. It would have cost the American music industry little to give the next singles a little more attention, and thus better sales precisely because Take on me was so popular.
The band set a world record with 198 000 paying audiences at Rock in Rio in 1991, which was three times as much as other artists as Guns n' roses and George Michael. American music journalists wanted to give the band attention, but when they called home to the editors, everyone was told that it was out of the question to give the band any attention. The band was totally broken, but A-ha managed without the US. The only ones who lost out were potential American fans, unfortunately. Luckily, the music is still available, but many have lost the opportunity to experience a fantastic live band.
I wish you welcome into the very loyal fan base of a-ha. Here on RUclips, they have welcomed me very well. Matt Snider has reacted to the whole catalogue the last year, and in the comments a-ha fans have found a meeting place. Another reactor I recommend for a-ha is HBK Luke.
@@Diane-sx4ql Btw - I recommend the interview Q TV Canada made with the band in 2010, when they officially split up. Luckily they reunited in 2015.
This song live at the nobel peace prize in 98 was awesome. This was their return after hiatus. Stunning song.
This insanely long note is even on the studio version, which makes it pretty much the best song they ever made. Not in my mind the best one in total, but it is a gorgeous song.
Morten's voice still impresses me. I don't think there are many even tenors in this world who can sing as clear as this man does, but it not just that and those highest notes, but his strenght on the lower notes and the rich and broad and yet open sound is quite magical... I'm not into men as I like women, but you have to give probs to some one who is actually good what he or she does, and this could be at least in Pop music be the best male voice ever.. the range is ridicilous.
Greetings from Norway, love your A-ha reactions! Your analysis are exelent. Great band, great music!

Thank you Mike for your eye and attentive ear! 🎵😚🎈 I'm out of breath hahaha...Big respect a/ha🎤🎹🎸🎸🥁🎻🎷
Their best song, imo.
Very happy someone does reactions to them and not only Take on Me. Hugs from Sweden.
Great reaction, dude. These cats have always been on point; super-smart, brilliant music.
It doesn’t seem as long in this video as another video I seen. Such an amazing musician
I cried so much, i still remember that night
I was there.
Listening to a-ha is a journey, each album has songs that will invade your brain and keep you moving through life.
I'm so glad that RUclips redirected me to your reaction video.
I had seen several done before, of this exact song, but in studio version and I have even suggested that they react to it again but on the live version.
I am an A-ha fan since they came on scene with their debut album "Hunting High and Low".
I own a first edition of their (probably) greatest hit, yes I own the infamous "Take on Me" version that was a flop in the UK and didn't sell much more than 500 copies.
At least that's what the British press said at the time.
I was hoping to see them live in Lisbon, at the "Rock in Rio" 2021, along with Duran Duran and the top portuguese band,but the covid pandemia made the organizers cancel the event.
Great reaction, it's the first time that I watch your channel and I am subscribing to it, I hit that like button too.
One last thing about this concert, it was described to be a phenomenal experience where 3 generations assisted this concert.
The mother who secretly watched the videos.
The teenage daughter who would buy all their posters and records, who later took the granddaughter to this concert.
I hope that wasn't too confusing. 😂 😂
The studio version was the record , but the live version is the same length, you mentioned the drummer, when he was growing up he was an a-ha fan, I told his friends that one day he would play with a-ha, he has now been their drummer since 2010, he is also a music professor in a Norwegian music collage . that was the final show for five years,But they came back. Before covid hit they had just started a new world tour with opening night in my home city of Dublin . They still have 3 shows in the USA to come when covid is over.
It’s actually a world record 20.2 seconds
A-ha did a very good acoustic version of Summer moves on and had invited Alison Moyet to join them for it.
I think that the track is on their Unplugged album CD.
If there's anyone interested in the slightly different version with the lovely Alison Moyet alongside Morten Harket.
Their album "Memorial Beach" is very, very different from all of their other albums. It was released in 1993 when the band was struggling to get along. But some very good music.
Always struggling to get along 🤣. Loved memorial beach, underrated album.

another song that equals summer moved on in its mood for me is lifelines. The original video is a piece of art in itself, also. Highly recommended, if you didn´t know it until now.
Nice reaction! A-ha aged well, both physicly and musicly. One thing, A-ha has had several farewell/combacks. Atended one farewell concert my self, only to have them do a comeback tour a few years later 😉 Another Norwegian band with incredible male vocals are Leprous. Please react to Leprous- Castaway Angels. ruclips.net/video/85drl9-lqRU/видео.html

This is being performed a little slower than the studio version. I imagine you have heard that by now as this reaction is a year old. However, my opinion is that studio version is considerably brighter in presentation than this is despite being a sad song about desperation at the end of a relationship. Also, the strings are much more pronounced on the studio recording. Anyway, another a-ha song worth reacting to is This Alone is Love. While it is from their third album way back in the 80s I believe it has much more of the characteristics of songs like this from their more recent material. In fact, the song is perhaps the first evidence, along with the title track from that album Stay on These Roads, that a-ha was moving in a more contemporary, less synth-pop direction. I enjoyed your reaction. Peace.
A-ha have Rock, Jazz, Pop, synth....it's much more that take on me.
Definitivamente não tem igual será para sempre ELES A-HA os melhores e maiores do planeta👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏
Perfeição!!!! 😍
Nice. I like, Move To Memphis, and I Call Your Name.
Celice from the Analogue album is fire, too.
Such an amazing singer and band.
Morten has the best male song in pop music, and A-Ha has been misunderstood for a long time , their cuteness cloaking their existential and sad lyrics.
How right you are.
Even though they really didn't pay much attention to that aspect of they're careers.
Morten was voted the worst dressed pop star of the 80s, even though I, as a fan, would try to imitate the way he'd appear in the music videos and magazines at the time.
He could have been voted the sexiest man on the planet too, but he never really cared about it.
That's why, 30 years later, I still respect the man, the band.
@@carlossilva7530 Indeed that's the way with a lot of Norwegians/Danes/Swedes, they're on average very beautiful, smart and modest, a killer combo in my opinion, talent notwithstanding :)
STAY ON THESE ROADS it's an awesome song. THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS, too.
a-ha manhattan skyline nrk 1991 is incredbile
Hello. Think this is the 5 forwell tour, and just as many come back😀Funny fact. They still go on strong😀😀
As far as the note goes, there's an even better version here: ruclips.net/video/mk0_WBudIu0/видео.html go to 6 30 in that vid. You're welcome.
I love Morten i love AHA
Yes that's right, my name is Natalia. Thanks for your reaction of this song and especially for this video. Every time they bring me to tears with it. All your reactions are very interesting, I like to watch them, it is clear that you still like not only hard rock, you are also a connoisseur of excellent real deep music.
And If you want to watch them live, then "Move to memphis" only only from this ruclips.net/video/06LFRyWu2AM/видео.html and studio version of this song please please please ))) Can you do a double reaction to this song?
Their live concerts are perfect. In any year and any song to goose bumps.
Try Lifelines...
1. Interesting things happened on either side of the first A-hiatus - Memorial Beach was, if not quite a "rock" album, at least sounding more like a fully-functioning self-contained band than anything they'd done before Minor Earth Major Sky was, if not a "goth" album, at least darker in tone (in a nice way) than any of the previous albums.
2. After all these A-ha reactions I have to wonder, has Yeedeed investigated the work of those other - greater! - Norwegian icons BEL CANTO? Best place to dive in is here ruclips.net/video/LjLFMCbndAU/видео.html

You should check out :
Morten Harket - a kind of Christmas card.
By the lead singer of A-ha. I think this is from 2002.
Or Savoy - Velvet (which is by one of the other band members of A-ha. Paul Waaktar Savoy) from 1996
There’s also an earlier song that was the James Bond tune. I think its late 80s or early 90s.
A-ha - The living daylights.
I can guarantee you they are all quality songs. The chances are great that you will like them.
"A kind of Christmas card" was released in 1995. First as a single and a month later on the "Wild seed" album.
There's some other really good songs on that album, so it's recommended!
The song "Brother" released in 2014 is also a good one.
@@TheSweMusicMan but it became a hit in 2002 or around that time. I remember the song on hit cds and the music video popping up a lot around that time
@@mari97216 A Kindof Christmascard became a number 1 hit in Norway in 1995
@@Cta2006 I dont know where I got 2002 from but I do know I had it on a hit music cd which was mixed hit songs of the time. Maybe like my first cd😅
❤️❤️🇳🇴
It's probably not the longest note hold here. But nevertheless a superb live performance. The longest note held was 2000.
Mortenharket ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
