Oh my god!!! We have only just discovered this version of an amazingly beautiful song sung by Aha. We didn't know it even existed. We were on the return journey home from a Festival in Audley House & Gardens grounds in Essex. Soft Cell were headlining and it was our first time seeing them after loving them since we were 17. Marc Almond has an amazingly beautiful voice and this song is class. Aha have covered it fantastically, Morten has an outstandingly pure voice. Simply beautiful
i second that, and as an american myself, its downright pathetic all they missed out on, just beccause they held aha to 'take on me' and that was it, this band is so unique and creative and reflected in modern music the spirit of Norway, Iceland, Sweden, and Denmark! when i see and listen to them, it's pure joy, and im so gladly they're norwegian, not tainted by america and american attitudes, norwegian compliments english from england language so beautifully, this band is such JOY
Exactly. I only heard take on me. And I was there in the 80s and since. I just found morten and these goldmine songs by aha last week. Barely holding on to life here. Ers 247
@@magnefuruholmen2866you are my idol since I was fifteen, I could see you playing live in A-ha twice, now I’m 53 and I’m still enjoying your amazing music and your always optimistic life attitude. 👏👏👏
As a Gen Z fan of classic synth-pop, including A-ha and Soft Cell, I got so giddy when this popped up alongside a video of the original and was like “No way! One of my favourite bands did a cover of the best song by one of my other favourite pop duos?! *instantly clicks* Dear god it’s beautiful!”
Muito legal essa versão do A-Ha, mas mesmo assim ainda prefiro a original, do Soft Cell, pois era essa que eu ouvia no início da minha adolescência, nostálgica, envolvente e que me dá vontade de chorar de alegria ! 🇧🇷🇧🇷👊🏻😉.
A-ha have made your dream come true. Lucky you! I think they're able to make the covers even better than the originals, for example 'Crying in the Rain'.

Say Hello 👋 Wave 👋 Goodbye 👋. Brilliantly done by a-ha and it is so good that you can hear the Waves 🌊 singing in the background. Absolutely amazing Waves 🌊 Of The Sea 🌊🌊🌊🌊🦋🐋🌊🐋🌊🐋🌊🐋🌊🌊🐋🐋🌊🐋🌊🐋.
a great band! from Norge, Norway! Vikinglands! :) i dont think i ever saw morten or any of the band members angry,i dont think i ever saw morten go without a smile for very long, and it was genuine, not fake, unlike american musicians and celebrities, a-ha will come up to YOU, want to get to know you, they care more than most 'bands' do about their fans, you feel apart of them without even knowing them, they're so warm, welcoming, such joy, love, and when morten smiles, its like, hes really aliv
edit away! you do a fantastic job! this band is so great, i always see morten smiling and besides having the highest voice range in the world, 5 octaves or something like this, i just feel all warm inside when i see morten smile, because i know its genuine and that he means it, i dont think ive ever seen him or the other band members mad, unlike bono of U2, morten doesn't have an ego problem, all the guys of aha are like brothers, if you can't see the stage, whats the point, U2 is ridiculous
Thank you for uploading this song!God I can't believe my ears! I had no idea about this song and now it's my new obsession! Morten delivers it in such a lovely way with his unique voice! Of course i went listening to the original song to learn about it, so now it stuck in my mind. Morten you are incredible ❤❤❤❤❤
❤a🌹h🌻a❤ a maior e melhor banda do planeta🌍 a voz do morten 🎤❤ é perfeitamente linda para mim ele é o maior vocalista de todos os tempos é amor para todo sempre❤❤❤
i definitely know we will see them again, its very difficult to 'stop' after 25 yrs of being together, actually they didnt, theyre just on a much needed long break, theyre still making music, you dont just stop doing something you've done for a very long time and even more importantly that you love, theyll be back, sharing their music and their love, i dont think ive ever seen morten angry, he's the gentlest soul, his smile is so amazing and one of the warmest smiles i think ive ever seen :)
Why the 80s have been ridiculed regarding the quality of music is beyond me....some of the songs are classics, that's why we are still listening to them in 2021....the 80s was a very superficial era but the music has certainly stood the test of time.
A-ha are great. They didn't reach bands like Duran, but gave their fans a continuous fuel of emotions for years. They live and translate life with their filter. I will always thank this band for all I've got from them.
Erika Muscarella exactly! a-ha is something else is more than just music is the passion they put into it and how extraordinary it is i've been listening to them since i was 9 or 10 years now i'm 25 and even thought i wasn't born in the 80's i'm so thankful with my parents that they showed me what real music is since a short age
I am a huge Duran fan ... and a huge a-ha fan. They are completely different bands musically, aesthetically and at the core. Comparing them is silly. It’s like comparing apples and oranges. They are both fruit and in this case the fruit is music.
How I love this video full of smiling images which underline great moments in the band's career but also high human flashes their friendly collaboration have had. I always hope their friendship when they were young guys pursuing the same aim 'to let their so special musical talent' will come back in their hearts the same as it was, true. It's my best wish.
Ковер-версия А-ха значительно лучше оригинала Soft Cell: и голос Мортена, и аранжировка. Я думаю, если бы А-ха перепели некоторые песни, они бы их сделали настоящими хитами. Так было, например, с Crying in the Rain. Всё, что делает А-ха, первоклассно.
I'd never heard this cover. I'm a very big fan of A-ha but I love the original one by Soft Cell, too. So I enjoy this very much. Thank you very much for sharing your so well edited video! I can see your warm affection to them!
I love A-Ha as I do Soft Cell,A-Ha made it their way which is not bad but no one will ever do this song justice with so much passion & emotion like Marc does.

Really good job! 😁 Great song, great pics & editing & just so much fun! Love seeing them like this! Went thru lots of changes, but remained true to themselves! Why didn't we see more of them in the states? I'm 61 & remember Take On Me, but nothing else & I'm sure if I'd have seen them, I'd have never forgotten! All 3 are really good looking & so innocent looking in the 80's. Never smoked, drank or did drugs & that's why Morten STILL SOUNDS GREAT...& LOOKS GREAT! I like this particular look the best, I think, when he had long hair! Really good! Thx for sharing! Fun & I have sooo much more to discover!!! 😁☺️😁
i totally relate and agree, their last album was fantastic, all their music is, but foot of the mountain,.........................no words, im just disappointed that on their DVD concert and them live in concert, their last song wasn't 'start the simulator' a beautiful song and so fitting for their departure, i just dont get it why it wasnt the last song, also why they didn't make it their BEST video ever-start the simulator - i cry and am moved to deep emotions when i listen to it and love it
Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo Crying in the rain It was a kind of so so love And I'm going to make sure it never Happens again You and I It had to be The standing joke of the year You were a sleep around A lost and found And not for me I fear I tried to make it work You in a cocktail skirt And me in a suit (Well it just wasn't me) You're used to wearing less And now your life's a mess So insecure you see I put up with all the scenes And this is one scene That's going to be played my way Take your hands off me I don't belong to you, you see Take a look at my face For the last time I never knew you You never knew me Say hello goodbye Say hello wave goodbye Under the deep red light I can see the makeup sliding down Hey little girl you will always make up So take off that unbecoming frown What about me, well I'll find someone That's not going cheap in the sales A nice little housewife Who'll give me a steady life And won't keep going off the rails Take your hands off me I don't belong to you, you see Take a look at my face For the last time I never knew you You never knew me Say hello goodbye Say hello wave goodbye We've been involved For quite a while now And to keep you secret has been hell We're strangers meeting for the first time, okay? Just smile and say hello Say hello then wave goodbye Say hello then wave goodbye Say hello wave goodbye Say hello then wave goodbye Say hello say goodbye Goodbye Say goodbye
I haven't a clue when A-Ha covered this? I had always preferred David Gray's White Ladder over Soft Cell on Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret. Its always interesting to find how other groups interpret a song youve known for years....
Alguém ouvindo em 2024? A melhor banda dos anos 80, sem dúvida nenhuma! ❤❤❤❤❤
A-ha Always with own identity and Morten's wonderful talent to sing❤
I love these boys. All so beautiful with voices to match. And yeah this is 2024. I'm Morten's age.

Very Nice Song by one of the Best Bands on Planet Earth - A-HA.
Such genius.....such a song
What a great tribute
This is the best version of this song that I've heard. A-ha can do no wrong. Morten Harket is flawless
Thank you dear life is all about appreciation and love

Splendida interpretazione, adoro A-ha e Soft Cell da sempre
Yes it's so perfect that it would be Aha doing the cover of an amazing Soft Cell song. It gave me goosebumps too 😊
Banda perfeita, nobre, inebriante, encantadores. ❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful version of this lovely song. I love A-ha. Well done lads.
Lindo demais, a musica a vóz e todo grupo. 👏👏👏👏👏🎸
Incrivelmente AHA, vóz do morten, lindíssima, música e composicao Magnum e Paul. Oerfeutis, harmoniosos. Adoráveis. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤚🤚🤚🤚🤚🤚🤚
Не смотря на такую популярность, так скромно себя ведут! Талантливые норвежские мужчины!
They refused to say no. Met Morten Charles De Gaulle airport 86. Nice chap. Not just his looks. His presence is incredible.
Why can't I buy this, it's a crying shame this has not been released, best cover of this song I've heard.
Exelente banda.

Haha you were right! :) Their 11th studio album, "True North", came out last week :)

I didin´t know about this cover until today!!!!! I wish they made covers of many songs I love, with Morten's voice they would sound heavenly!
Amazing rendition
Eu ouvindo todos os dias
Still rocking’ this on March 6 2022.. ✌🏼
It s wonderful!

I am a huge Duran fan ... and a huge a-ha fan. They are completely different bands musically, aesthetically and at the core. Comparing them is silly. It’s like comparing apples and oranges. They are both fruit and in this case the fruit is music.
Awesome version
A-ha é demais. Ficou top demais.
awwwww!!! Too precious! The bit with the golf is so cute! Love a-ha... hate saying goodbye *sniffles*
Benny Harvey RIP, miss you big man.
J'adore !!!💖💖💖💖

Morten The Best Forever ♥️
Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo
Crying in the rain
It was a kind of so so love
And I'm going to make sure it never
Happens again
You and I
It had to be
The standing joke of the year
You were a sleep around
A lost and found
And not for me I fear
I tried to make it work
You in a cocktail skirt
And me in a suit
(Well it just wasn't me)
You're used to wearing less
And now your life's a mess
So insecure you see
I put up with all the scenes
And this is one scene
That's going to be played my way
Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello goodbye
Say hello wave goodbye
Under the deep red light
I can see the makeup sliding down
Hey little girl you will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown
What about me, well
I'll find someone
That's not going cheap in the sales
A nice little housewife
Who'll give me a steady life
And won't keep going off the rails
Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello goodbye
Say hello wave goodbye
We've been involved
For quite a while now
And to keep you secret has been hell
We're strangers meeting for the first time, okay?
Just smile and say hello
Say hello then wave goodbye
Say hello then wave goodbye
Say hello wave goodbye
Say hello then wave goodbye
Say hello say goodbye
Goodbye
Say goodbye
thanks for the lyrics..one of my fave songs from the 80's
Well I didn't expect to hear this when I woke up this morning!
Tai artistas de verdade, super talentosos, com músicas cada qual melhor que a outra 👏👏👏💋💋🎸❤💕😚
The most beautiful video about a-ha I have ever seen!
Admiro, gosto demais, nunca vou deixar de me encantar com essas vozes!
Great job on the video!!😉
Música linda demais. Morten Harket, tremendo. Maravilhoso. Lindo demais. ❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏
