    The a-ha channel is the official TH-cam 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 TH-cam 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).

      Funny, I have never seen AHA as underrated. They were beyond popular and traveled the hole world from mid eighties to mid nineties. Fun fact from Wiki: The band were listed in the Guinness World Records book for having the biggest-paying rock concert attendance; they drew an audience of 198,000 at Maracanã Stadium during the Rock in Rio festival. They have sold more than 100 million units, albums and singles combined.

    1985 was the height of the 80's. The height sustained until 1988 and that is when the music started to change to sound more like early 90's. I remember thinking in 1988 how the music sounded different than it did a few years earlier. Man, the 80's was a fantastic time to be alive. The music really made the 1980's.

    Everyone always thinks of "Take on Me" when they think of a-ha. This is the song that comes to mind for me. It's a beautifully crafted masterpiece that distills everything that was "totally awesome" in the 80's into one single spectacular melody. A point in time that I truly believe even a thousand years from now humans will look back on with both awe and envy.

    Pål Waaktaar Gamst (now Paul Waaktar-Savoy), the lead guitarist, is also the underrated genius who wrote most of a-ha’s songs, and basically all of the lyrics. Morton of course has that effortless frontman charisma and one of the greatest pop voices of all time, and he deserves all the kudos he gets and more, but I wonder how many people know that he’s mostly singing Paul’s incredible original songs? Plus, as a three piece band (with added members occasionally), they were/are a really tight pop rock group and just as amazing live as on vinyl!

    When I was a teenager in the 80's, I traveled to Mexico in a sailing vessel with my family. We decided to live like sailors and go where the wind took us. At that time and before we left, we recorded our favorite local Los Angeles radio station using a "boom box" and magnetic audio cassettes. So, we taped hours of music, DJ comments, commercials, station call letters etc. Basically, it was like a snapshot in time of what was happening on the radio. This song was one of the many we recorded and listened to for hours traveling the Baja California coast and the Sea of Cortez. When I hear it, it brings me back in time.

      I love this song! So very well presented in video and the singer has a wonderful voice and great depth of voice too. His name is Morten and I think of him as my Elvis. I grew up in the 80's listening to these heavenly songs with such heartfelt music that seems to enrapture me beyond the limits of this sometimes dismal earth. Thanks Morten for such beautiful music indeed! :)

    Lyrics :
    Touch me
    How can it be
    Believe me
    The sun always shines on T.V
    Hold me
    Close to your heart
    Touch me
    And give all your love to me
    To me...
    I Reached inside myself
    And found nothing there
    To ease the pressure off
    My ever worried mind
    All my powers waste away
    I fear the crazed and lonely looks
    The mirror's sending me
    These Days
    Touch me
    How can it be
    Believe me
    The sun always shines on T.V
    Hold me
    Close to your heart
    Touch me
    And give all your love to me
    Please don't ask me to defend
    The shamefull lowlands
    Of the way I'm drifting
    Gloomily through time
    (Touch me)
    I reached inside myself today
    (Give all your love)
    Thinking there's got to be some way
    To keep my troubles distant
    Hold me
    Close to your heart
    Touch me
    And give all your love to me

I’d say still touring and performing live , and selling out venues all around the world after 35 years ..not to mention 2 Guinness world records and selling over 100 million records is more significant that top ten hits.
