It's rare that a cover is better than the original- they elevated the song to another darker, more mysterious level! so good!

that's A-ha 💖 and only A-ha especially Morten can do it 👍🏻

The a-ha live version from NRK is legendary...

Glad to see you back doing a-ha, felt like you had given up on them.

EB version is fine for a classic '60s record with nice harmonies.A-ha's is gorgeous early '90s and still some wouldn't suspect this was recorded rearly 34 years ago if he didn't know. Sounds so curent.Members of A-ha are EB fans.They also did live EB cover either while touring the 3some but also Morten live without them btw.

I do love A-ha’s version so beautiful and very atmospheric ❤

I quite enjoy listening to both versions, and as a massive a-ha fan this is one of my favorite recordings. Even the Everly Brothers said in 1990 that this is one of their most beloved covers.

I think you've said it all, I love this song. The darker and deeper side of the A-ha band Is perfect to this EB song. Thanks for sharing this one 👏

Woo Hooo !! More a-ha. Personally I think that the writing of the song is strong enough that it can be a pop song (EB's version) and an emotional epic (a-ha's version). I love the a-ha version. The thunder sounds give me chills every time. Great idea to react to both !!!

Morten's voice 🎉🎉🎉 What a beautiful song Great double reaction 🎉🎉🎉❤😊

Great cover from a-ha 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I love listen to them live in Nrk (in 1991): great Music and great Voice 💎

As far as I know this is the only (original cover) a-ha did that made their studio albums. They knew (at least one of) the Everly brothers - and as you said, they gave each one of them a guitar. They did this song justice. Beautiful rendition. 🌹🕊 PS: Hope you will do more a-ha!! Maybe you should try "Did anyone approach you" from their Lifelines album - I think you may like it - post 2000.

i'm also still waiting for some bits of their debut.Such as 'The blue sky", or even the synth 'Dream my self alive' if not also 'Soft rains of April'/'Whales" from its follower.

Yes the members of a-ha still use those guitars

I totally adore this song - I remember listening to the UK Radio 1 show "Round Table" where they reviewed the weeks singles in 1990, and I think DJ Dave Lee Travis said something along the lines of, 'When I heard A-ha were doing a cover version, I though that was not a good sign and a signal of a lack of creativity, but when I actually heard it - wow, it's just fantastic'. Also, the B-side to the single, "(Seemingly) Non-Stop July", really told fans to prepare for something very different....

Great reaction to a wonderful song and a fantastic cover version from a-ha, their only cover on album. Such a treat.

Kinda 'unfair" to compare cause it's quite subjective and depends on each ones memories, taste and emotional connection.So this way, i'll vote for A-ha' Btw if i had to discribe to someone Morten's voice then the closest i could get is that he has the vocal crystal clearness of Roy Orbinson,the versatility and punchy dash of David Bowie and the manly warmth of Barry Gibb.All these "flavours" put together by nature and without canceling his unique personal identity.Just my perception.

Phil and Don, none others could harmonise like them...and to this day, still can't.

You're right, Dereck, both versions are wonderful in their own unique way and no need to choose a favourite. This was the first time I had heard the Everly Bros version, what a lovely composition.

The became friends the everly brothers and a-ha. a-ha’s manager had played with the everly brothers.

Thanks a lot ! Don and Phil's mix of voices are so pure and ethereal that it reaches perfection. Their harmonies are unbeatable. Art Garfunkel did a smooth cover with James Taylor.

Both songs are amazing. My father loves the every brothers so I already knew this song. When I heard Aha I was gobsmacked! Amazing!! I am a devoted fan! Alphaville is another band I am devoted to that I have to import albums not released in the US.

Composed by Carole King of course!

I love A-HA’s version much more. A-HA were on the same record label as the everly brothers and were asked if they would cover the song. All three members of A-HA were gifted with guitars after. Happy easter and take care. ❤️🇳🇴❤️A-HA FOREVER❤️🇳🇴❤️ 😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Massive aha fan here and I prefer their version. The other version is pretty good too but aha’s is so much better❤

This is one of the times where the cover version is better than the original.

The two are marvellous 😊

After the goldrush by Neil Young covered by prelude. Chalk and cheese lol

100% yes...and/ or the one covered by Dolly Parton. Prelude's cover is one of my favourites of all time

Souvenir de mes 20 ans... ❤

I personally prefer the Everly brothers version, really you should check out their live version on the Ed Sullivan show. They were even better live . And it was Phil Everly that gifted Aha the Guitars . They were Everly guitars .

La versión de a-ah es mi tema favorito de ellos

Please make a double reaction to Blackberry Way, the original from The Move and the cover from Gotthard

Derek another double reaction to do is The Hollies, He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother and The Osmonds did a cover of that song and it pretty much became The Osmonds theme song. I think you should use the Osmonds video from 1971 (Tokyo Japan). I think it's a guys song and Marie don't really fit in there. IMHO.

Nevermind I don't think the Osmonds ever released it as a single so it's not really a cover is it? It did become their theme song though. The harmony is amazing.
