This is a bit melancholic version because a 60-year old guy is interpreting his old hit which he recorded at 25. Morten Harket can sing alright, sounds almost the same than in the 80s. He is estimated to have five-octave vocal range, one of the best, if not THE best in pop music.

Oh, I would rest my head on my arm and cry, too. 30 years later, hearing the song I used to rock to, sung so sweetly by THAT VOICE...

This is beautifully arranged and he still looks adorable.

It's amazing cause it's so raw but also so fine tuned. One of the best singers of all time

This was one of my son’s favorite songs. I played it for him over and over in the days before he passed. I don’t know if he heard it but I hope he did.

This song was originally released in 1985 and this version was done in 2019so 29 years after the fact. Amazing.

First time hearing the song this mellow. Watch the video, for the 80's and to this day one of the best videos ever. My favorite video then and today.

Hadn't heard this mellow acoustic version, thanks for reacting to it. It feels like a lullaby. Amazing that he can still sing so sweetly and hit those high notes. Except for one and he covered that smoothly.

She ain’t chilled she remembers every work from when the original version came out in the 80’s ❤️ he was so beautiful then and now!

This is one of my favorite 80’s songs EVER!!

Talking about the at-home chillin' vibe in the audience. That's the beauty of MTV Unplugged. Doing everything acoustic changes the way the song sounds, and forces adjustments to prevent it from becoming awkward. It's an incredible concept for a tv show.

I love this slower version and realizing that I was mishearing the lyrics this whole time. Thank you both for this channel. You bring so much joy to your listeners. ❤️

For context, the song originally came out in 1984, but this performance was in 2017. That's why the audience is full of middle-aged women who are really into it and know all the words - this is a song they grew up with as teenagers. It's also why Morten Harket (the lead singer) doesn't look like you'd expect - the whole band looked a bit more like pop stars 30 years ago! Also, a few song suggestions from a similar era: - Paul Simon, You Can Call Me Al ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/p6VhybuIoriekqQ.html ) - Crowded House, Don't Dream It's Over ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/fG2brduLnczJYpM.html ) - Tears for Fears, Everybody Wants to Rule the World ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/k3t3xq6EiLGsY9o.html )

Wow! That was beautiful. I've heard this song a million times, but this is amazing.

Beautiful rendition. But you must hear the original to understand how lovely this song is...

This version is SO different from the original version. That lead singer has a GREAT vocal range!

love the voice range that this singer has❤

I hope you can listen to a-ha’s song “Hunting High And Low”. My favorite song from them.💫💫💫

Love this version and the original video is amongst the best ever

Morten Harket has an amazing range, and his phrasing is beautiful!

Loving hearing Morten again - a legend :)

This version was used in deadpool 2

I love both videos but I absolutely looooooove this version. It really makes you fee what this song is about. ❤️

You guys need to see the actual music video. Its such an iconic 80s music video.

At this MTV unplugged event, the number of viewers was limited and the tickets were raffled. Thousands wanted to be there but only a few got a ticket. A-ha is one of the best bands in the world and Morten Harket is the best singer in the world especially when it comes to reflecting feelings with a song. He sings just as well live as he does on recordings. "Take On Me" is one of the most famous songs in the world, the video to it has revolutionized the music video world and has been seen in between 1 billion times. It has been used for countless films and series. The original e.g. for the movie Ready Player One kzread.info/dash/bejne/jKuXzLiog9nWqrQ.html And this unplugged version for Deadpool 2 kzread.info/dash/bejne/enaNy9SjYsbFmto.html A-ha also made the theme song for a James Bond film, "The Living Daylights" kzread.info/dash/bejne/dpp6xMt_n6S9mrA.html A-ha is very successful worldwide they are still active have released countless albums and singles, all of which are brilliant. They still hold the world record for most spectators in a paid open air concert (1991 Rock in Rio) with almost 200,000 spectators. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qZiAzJl7iMrUnLw.html They were on world tours when Corona intervened. The tour has been postponed until next year. The concerts were sold out a year earlier. I strongly recommend you to respond to the a-ha song "Summer Moved On". Morten holds the world record for the longest-held tone in a studio song in this song. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oYqgltOveNi_aMo.html

Damn. Thanks for the information. I love Take On Me, but I'm not familiar with any of A-Ha's other music. I always wondered why they weren't more popular in the states. The lead singer had (and still has) an incredible, angelic voice.

Even though I love the original version & video, I love this version even more. Morton’s voice is flawless. I love their song called “Velvet”. If you’ve never heard it, do yourself a favor and watch that video! I also love “The Sun Always Shines on TV”.

This was one of my favorites when it came out. I had posters on my wall of A-HA.

@brendalyman3963

One of my first concerts 😉

A-Ha were my obsession as a child (I was born in the 80s) and they still fill my heart with light. The Living Daylights is great too - it was a Bond theme! Please also try Silence by Delerium featuring Sarah McLachlan. It’s a heavy dance tune, I haven’t seen too much of that so far? Though I’m still making my way through your videos every day! Also I see you have a soft spot for Evanescence and because of that I think you might like Airplanes by B.O.B. featuring Hayley Williams, her voice is a little similar with rock tones but incredible emotional range.

The original version is completely different and the video is amazing.

The ladies are dreaming themselves back to the 80s, to the time they had a crush on Morten. Back then he definitely did NOT look like a school teacher. Haha. He was the best looking dude a girl could dream of, and "everyone" wanted a piece of him, poor guy. You should react to more a-ha, they have so many great songs, from the poppy "Touchy" via the ballads "Hunting high and low" and "Stay on these roads" to rocking songs like "Manhattan Skyline" and "Rolling Thunder". Later on they came with "Minor Earth Major Sky", ""Summer moved on" and "Cast in Steel". Such an underrated band, well worth listening to.

Thanks for listening to Norway's pride and joy, A-ha. The boys are actually from the same area of Oslo as I live now! 😊 You need to check out Jeff Buckley and Elliott Smith and Reckoner by Radiohead for some angles voices! 😊

These classic upbeat 80s song being slowed down and done acoustically are beautiful because the songs are great, but there’s a sadness that’s there because the artists can’t do the songs justice (if played the same as the original) that they once did and their youth, and the fans’ youth are gone forever, and only fragmented memories remain. I think that’s why the girl had tears during the performance. A lot of emotions and memories and melodies at once.

Loovee this song!! Never seen this video. Live it really showcasing his voice.

The best a-ha

You need to do the ofofficial music video.

Like everyone else - You've GOT to watch the original version - this is nothing like it at all. And...do a video with it. Unless you already did. lol

Great reaction as always!! You guys should react to a-ha, analogue all I want

This is waaaaay different than the recorded version. You have to watch the video.

Was my favorite music a video as a child. This is a different version but its still hits tho 😊

You need to react to the official video from the 80s. This is a way slower version of the original version.

Guys, do a-ha - summer moved on. One of the best of them all songs right there. Very powerful. Good to know that young people enjoy old time music like this one. Respect to you! I’ll subscribe and support you.

it's no fun without the A-ha official video !!

This is my karaoke song (not the unplugged version but the original) and - such a good song. So glad you guys like it.

Listen to (give it to me baby) by (Rick James), you'll be jammin.

The winery version.

Morten harket is one of the best singers ever, you have already reacted to the sun always shines on tv. I’ll give you another live a-ha song to react to

You guys NEED to listen to The Coasters “Poison Ivy”

Should've done the actual video playing

Please, please get your brother to watch the original 1980’s version with the iconic video. You’ll also hear Morton Harket’s full vocal rang which is incredible. P.S. I love your channel! Only just found you guys and now I’m binge watching. Sx

The brother on the right can't get a word in edgewise!

He's doing good at his age; but the performance he put on in his younger years had way more range and vocal control.

The singer is 60 years old

Try the original version 👍🏻

This was used in Deadpool 2

Ellie Williams acoustic version is the one 🎸

I have never heard this version, I've only seen the video which was upbeat and quirky.

Yea what everybody says the OFFICIAL video! Faster, dancier. Please do ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS by Garbage. Beautiful Shirley Manson. My idol.

Family Guy did a parody of this whole video. Chris gets sucked into the milk cooler at the grocery store, and he's the star of the video instead. That's the only difference. Huh. I've never heard this acoustic version. It's very melancholy. The song is pretty upbeat. So far he's choosing to play it safe.... It's probably due to age. But in the chorus it goes "in a day or twooooooooooooooooo" way up high.

This version is good, but seriously, go watch the original video. It is probably the singular most iconic music video, second only to the Jackson's Thriller. Please. Watch the original. I promise you'll be blown away.

You all have to watch the original song and video. For its time (mid-80s) it was pretty cutting edge kzread.info/dash/bejne/lp6Kk5ORksafYZc.html
