Good friend of mine loved listening to A-ha. Manhattan Skyline was his favorite song out of their playlist; unfortunately he left us a few years ago. Listening to this brings a tear to my eye - he would've loved this. I feel like he's right here with me right now... I can feel his warmth next to me. I miss you, my friend. Hope you're soaring, Benny.

I love this song. I love this song for the reason it made me wonder if the word 'newspaper' had ever appeared in an Emperor song.

I always thought that a-ha was my musical guilty pleasure. Now I feel relieved.

I had this guy in Highschool that i had always hated… he was a real jerk. Or so i thought… i myself had a lot of growing up to do… i was just jealous of how he had such a natural energy about him and such a great taste in music. I looked him up the other day. Found out he had passed away a while back…. Benny, we may never had been friends but you were friendly enough that it was an influence on making me the better man i am today. BENNY HARVEY, R.I.P.

A-ha were the first band I saw live. 8yrs later I saw Emperor. on their first UK tour.

One of my absolute favourite songs as a child. Thank you for doing it justice!

This feels so warm to the heart. Awesome.

Beautiful.
