    Like a dark, dystopic cousin of the famous video for ‘Take on me’, the video for 'This is now America’ is a lament for an American dream in tatters.
    Inside a detailed hand-drawn universe filled with pop-cultural references from the 80’s, the ominous and at times disturbing narrative follows a lost adolescent character on the verge of self-destruction, hiding from and peeking out on a troubled, disintegrating world.

    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).

    Thank you Magne Furuholmen for a great song! I think the story concerns many countries and societies of the modern world, the problems are all the same...

    É engraçado, criticam tanto o capitalismo, o modo americano de viver, produzir, mas todo mundo sonha em fazer sucesso nos EUA. Não vejo americanos saindo de seu país pra viver em outros, fugindo do desemprego ou de guerras ou de perseguições políticas. Não digo que é o modelo perfeito de sociedade, até porque esse ainda estão pra inventar, mas é mais fácil criticar do que construir algo realmente bom. O mundo só precisa de mais solidariedade, amor, e o cristianismo é um caminho pra transformar o mundo, mas quem não é, ficando com as duas primeiras sugestões já fazem muito. E vamos ser menos hipócritas.

      O que acontece é que o Magne aderiu a lacração, resolveu criticar o estilo de vida americano falando que os americanos são tarados assassinos , frustados e consumistas. Essa raiva toda é por causa do Trump pois os artistas não suportam nenhum governo de direita conservador pois corta os privilégios . O AHA não faz mais sucesso na América, daí para chamar a atenção da mídia esquerdista desce o pau no estilo americano do governo Trump. Eu sou fã do AHA desde o primeiro disco e fui no primeira turnê em 88 e no Rock in Rio 91 . Seria melhor o canal tirar esse lixo de clip pois não condiz com a grandeza artística do grupo.

    I would like to state that this is not a release by the band a-ha...it is by Magne Furuholmen who as well as being a member of the band, is a Conceptual Artist in his own right. This is a solo project in which he created the music and lyrics in collaboration with his son and others who helped make the video. It may be uncomfortable for some Americans, but they are not usually reticent in voicing their opinions of other countries nor is their government, at getting mired in the politics and even regime change of other states. It cannot then be wrong for those of us who are not American to observe and pass comment on the current mess the USA is in, as Magne does here. It is after all called free speech, something you Americans are supposed to value above all else!

      It would just be good to know what exactly he is saying. It all seems a bit vague. I'm ok with hearing other peoples' opinions, as long as they seem to be able to articulate it. All I get from this song is negativity and distain. I don't know, maybe offer a solution or an alternative? Are we all just doomed to circle the toilet bowl as the world follows the lead of the great and evil America? Kind of lame if you ask me.
