I was searching for my favourite composer's latest works and look what I find. This singer is so so good... profound and fresh at the same time. You've emotioned me. Both.
This song is so high fashion and delicate that I have no doubt the song is written by one of the greatest composers in Pop history ever.I can't stop humming the melody and it keeps playing in my brain! Really hope that the album would be released in Korea, here too.
Classic Waaktaar, a song that just grows after every play. Would have made a great a-ha song but still great in its own right here clearly how the writer intended it to be.
For me this is as close to perfection as it gets: great tune, great production, AMAZING voice, beautiful video... can't ask for more. Well, I can, but I'll have to wait until February 24th for the whole album.
Nothing like "Reasons to stay indoors". We love Savoy. This song its a mid-range pop, I 'll wait for the complete album, always its good to hear something from this hitmaker.
Just wow! How have I not come across this before??!! I adore Pal's music and lyrics and style: coupled with this beautiful soulful voice and sweet but edgy style.... I love it!
What a beautiful voice singing a beautiful original song! If there is any justice in the music world, this will be a smash hit and we'll all be Blessed to be hearing a lot more beautiful music from Zoe!!
Long awaited and beautifully written piece of music finally playing on constant repeat here. Sweet song that sounds simple but boy do I do love the chords and instrumentation. Well produced and the laid back vocals by Zoe fit the song perfectly. Looking forward to hearing the entire album!
This is incredible. Heard it on XM and had to look it up. The video production is totally consistent with the feeling I get from the song. She has a great voice and is very lovely.
It has a Smashing Pumpkins folk-like flavour (also, the chorus seems like the half of the chorus of the classic song "We are all alone" by Rita Coolidge); very pretty song!
Kind of penny lane track. But this girls voice goes well with the song, really expresses the "beautiful burnout" chorus. Gald Pal is continuing on making good songs!
After listening to this beautiful song about 50 times, I am just thinking it would be awesome if there would be another version sung by Annelie drecker. If Zoe's voice's like green, Annelie's is like red. Just different impressions for the same song.
I usually like better Magne's songs. E g I think Giving Up The Ghost is one of the best A-ha songs. But sometines, I just feel like play some of songs of this album, volume it up and send all world to... where ever
A melodia dos primeiros versos é a mesma de Foot Of The Mountain (na versão de Mark Saunders Remix) que está no bonus track de Cast Still na versão deluxe.
must be hard following aha ....its a lovely song for sure but aha cast quite a huge shadow......but its all about doing what pleases you ,,,i like it xx
What a pity, there's not a real second verse...Paul, for me, he's a genius, except for this one : weak. The baroque-pop arangements circa Sgt Peppers are awesome but the structure of the song does not really satisfy me... One and only verse, playde at the middle 8 instead of a real second verse... Ok the chorus is fantastic, marvelous, but relase a song just because there is a very good chorus, it's a pity...
Can't quite follow your reasoning, describing the song as weak despite the fantastic, marvellous chorus just because the structure of the song doesn't really satisfy you, as you say. Your personal opinion and that's completely fine of course, no pun intended with this reply. There's not even a bridge in it, you could have added in that sense. The structure differs a bit from maybe up to 99% of single releases with their so predictable building up in verse-chorus parts but when there would have been another verse included (of course there is a second verse starting at 2:13 but it partially has the same lyrics yes), the song's length would have been close to 5 minutes and, in my opinion, that would have cut the strength of the song, dragging it out for too long. Now the brilliant chorus and guitar hook get relatively much "air time" and well, to me it's just fine. This way the melody quickly gets stuck in people's minds, making it a good single drawing attention for the album. My opinion.
I like the unconventional structure... makes a difference from the verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus that we mostly hear. The lyrics subtly change in the second verse and last chorus too, stopping it becoming repetitive. It's got me looking forward to hearing the rest of the Waaktaar & Zoe stuff.
I understand your argument : but Paul is making POP and we can totally reverse the argument by saying the song misses lyrics or verse. I love the music when it is unexpecting but Paul has always written "mainstream" songs in the past - We can say : yeah ! fuck off verse-chorus-verse ! But we can say : that's not enough, being a Paul fan...
Might be experiencing a burnout but again I can't completely follow: totally reverse the argument by saying the song misses lyrics or verse? Imo a song doesn't need to follow a certain pattern or be a display of how someone can write each individual verse differently. When just a few words tell the story, why need or write more to get across what you want. There are 2 verses and the chorus pops up 3 times, that's pretty average/normal I think and besides that, there are subtle changes in the words. Paul hasn't always written mainstream songs, a lot of songs especially within Savoy I could not categorize as that anyway and have lots of differentiation in structures. Anyway, as a fellow "Paul fan" I just hope the rest of the album will be more to your liking!

Fantastic album by a-ha musician Paul Waaktaar-Savoy and Zoe Gnecco
This song is so high fashion and delicate that I have no doubt the song is written by one of the greatest composers in Pop history ever.I can't stop humming the melody and it keeps playing in my brain! Really hope that the album would be released in Korea, here too.
Finally Pål had the chance to honor The Beatles.
Beautiful song, perfect sound, wonderful Zoe!!!! Pal is a genius...
Cool video!!!
this beautiful song should have million viewers
So easy to imagine Paul singing this song )) This beautiful song!
Classic Waaktaar, a song that just grows after every play. Would have made a great a-ha song but still great in its own right here clearly how the writer intended it to be.
Paul Waaktaar from a-ha is such a great musician and songwriter!
For me this is as close to perfection as it gets: great tune, great production, AMAZING voice, beautiful video... can't ask for more. Well, I can, but I'll have to wait until February 24th for the whole album.
I heard this on the radio and I totally fell in love
Zoe has a great voice. Can't wait to get this album.
Where do you get this music? I love the two blonds from a-ha. Good guys, great music.
Nothing like "Reasons to stay indoors". We love Savoy. This song its a mid-range pop, I 'll wait for the complete album, always its good to hear something from this hitmaker.
Just wow! How have I not come across this before??!! I adore Pal's music and lyrics and style: coupled with this beautiful soulful voice and sweet but edgy style....
I love it!
Just started hearing this on XM in the U.S.
Beautiful! The more I hear the more I like it.
Sounds from an earlier time but refined.
What a beautiful voice singing a beautiful original song! If there is any justice in the music world, this will be a smash hit and we'll all be Blessed to be hearing a lot more beautiful music from Zoe!!
One of the best songs I've ever heard!!!
Long awaited and beautifully written piece of music finally playing on constant repeat here. Sweet song that sounds simple but boy do I do love the chords and instrumentation. Well produced and the laid back vocals by Zoe fit the song perfectly. Looking forward to hearing the entire album!
Awesome awesomely cool.. Thank you Pal Waaktaar, & Zoe is just so adorable
Major goosebumps love this song!!
What a great song, voice and music, it's beautiful. Love from France, merci !
This is incredible. Heard it on XM and had to look it up. The video production is totally consistent with the feeling I get from the song. She has a great voice and is very lovely.
Beautiful, just awesome.
After hearing it again and again, I could say.. it`s gives my shivers!!! Yeah!
Me too
An absolutely beautiful creative video! Subtle effects and tempo that match and capture the mood of the song.
Great track ! Good voice good sounds good lyrics, what else?
J'adore superbe voix et super accompagnement musical
I'm like Lou Reed, i'm waiting patiently the coming of the Waaktaar lp and the new Savoy Lp...I'm waiting for my (favorite) man...
It has a Smashing Pumpkins folk-like flavour (also, the chorus seems like the half of the chorus of the classic song "We are all alone" by Rita Coolidge); very pretty song!
I hear the sound of the Beatles. I fancy it!
Música muito linda. Espero que os créditos por eu estar aqui ouvindo essa beleza cheguem a estes excelentes artistas. ❤❤❤
es como el aire fresco en pleno incendio..
j adoooooooooore😀😀😀😀
Bonita voz e linda musica.
Que música mais linda e vozes também porque não continuas-te a cantar fantástico!!!!😍😙😙😍😙😍😘😍😘😙😍
Beatles-esque. Nice!
Que linda, música perfeita! 🇧🇷
Kind of penny lane track. But this girls voice goes well with the song, really expresses the "beautiful burnout" chorus. Gald Pal is continuing on making good songs!
Fine song,fine voice,fine video....but where is Paul?!!
He is the ghost on the water of this musical river, he is everywhere
Lindo muito linda canção estão de 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏espectacular mesmo!!!!
After listening to this beautiful song about 50 times, I am just thinking it would be awesome if there would be another version sung by Annelie drecker. If Zoe's voice's like green, Annelie's is like red. Just different impressions for the same song.
Hopefully, Paul will chime in for a duett /second voice. They'd go along lovely.
I usually like better Magne's songs. E g I think Giving Up The Ghost is one of the best A-ha songs. But sometines, I just feel like play some of songs of this album, volume it up and send all world to... where ever

paul should sing this or moten will lifht this song
Like black white style
Kind of Beatles tune with female voice.
I like it but where is Paul ?
suppose everywhere except female voice
Star Light mb it would be somehow boring fo him
Where is Pål???
sounds like Beatles' song covered by A-ha and sung by a girl )
So underrated, needs Harket on back vocals
4 people doesnt know any better
must be hard following aha ....its a lovely song for sure but aha cast quite a huge shadow......but its all about doing what pleases you ,,,i like it xx
Listen at 1.25 speed.
What a pity, there's not a real second verse...Paul, for me, he's a genius, except for this one : weak.

Maybe it would be cooler (for me) that i did not have any knowledge of the demo of Foot of the Mountain... Maybe it would be different...

The chorus is a plagiarism of NEVADA-- Take me to heaven
she tryes to hard
