    None of the contemporary bands sounded anything like this. Such a unique sound! Such creativity. Such POWER! I remember having to point out to people back then that this is not POP...this is something entirely different. Just check out the lyrics:
    Was that somebody screaming
    It wasn't me for sure
    I lift my head up from uneasy
    Pillows
    Put my feet on the floor
    Cut my wrist on a bad thought
    And head for the door
    Outside on the pavement
    The dark makes no noise
    I can feel the sweat on my lips
    Leaking into my mouth
    I'm heading out for the steep hills
    They're leaving me no choice
    And see, as our lives are in the making
    We believe through the lies and the hating
    That love goes free
    For want of an option
    I run the wind 'round
    I dream pictures of houses burning
    Never knowing nothing else to do
    With death comes the morning
    Unannounced and new
    Was it too much to ask for
    To pull a little weight,
    They forgive anything but greatness
    These are scoundrel days
    And I'm close to calling out their names
    As pride hits my face
    See, as our lives are in the making
    We believe through their lies and the hating
    That love goes free through
    Scoundrel days
    I reach the edge of town
    I've got blood in my hair
    Their hands touch my body
    From everywhere
    But I know that I've made it
    As I run into the air
    And see, as our lives are in the making
    We believe through the lies and the hating
    That love goes free
    Through scoundrel days

    Thank you for reacting to one of my favourite a-ha songs.
    This is a masterpiece of a song in terms of sound and lyrics and they have countless masterpieces.
    A-ha is one of the best bands existing they created a very special and new category of music. It's not quite rock, pop, jazz or blues but a mixture/symbiosis of all these categories packed into a melancholy box.

      Oh, coincidence, 'Melancholy box' was almost my username !. I'm joking it was going to be 'Morten's wet socks'.

    Considered one of their ABSOLUTELY best by fans.

    A-ha broke through with a bang and the first album is fantastic, but my impression is that most fans consider the second album to be a better album, and one of the band's best. It's packed with goodies and this fantastic song didn't even become a single.

    Hi thanks for reacting to A-HA again this time Scoundrel Days. It’s the title track off their second album and it’s a great track definately high in my list of my favourite A-HA tracks. Hope fully you’ll continue to react to A-HA they have so many great tracks to choose from. Maybe you could react to A-HA’s manhattan skyline next cause you would really love that one or ive been losing you or sycamore leaves from NRK 1991. Take care 😘 ❤️🇳🇴❤️A-HA FOREVER❤️🇳🇴❤️ 🎸🎹🎤 🥇🥇🥇🫠🥰

      @@Abbadonhades Great choice. My favourite song changes every few weeks. However... East of the Sun hits me in the chest every time and I'd recommend almost anything from that album too.

    Morten Harket tem a voz mais linda da história da música pop.

    You know the phrase of the 'Difficult second album'.... Well a-ha made it look easy. The drummer's high hat is going hell for leather!

    As Google probably would tell you: A-ha is a Norwegian band

    The first 3 albums are the best. Scoundrel Days has a real drummer.
