If you were to play word-association with the name 'A-ha', the response would be normally 'Take On Me'. And so exists the unfortunate dilemma for Norways biggest musical export. Morten Harket (lead vocals), Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (guitar, backing vocals) and Magne Furuholmen (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals) formed in 1983, moved from their native country to the UK in search of success and promptly signed with Warner Brother Records. Three good looking lads, a catchy band name and hopefully the music to match - it couldn't fail. But it so nearly did. Their debut release, 'Take On Me' (originally titled 'Lesson One'), failed to chart twice. Only for the persistence of their record company, the band might have struggled to make the breakthrough.

Their passion really shows in everything that they sing. This song is particularly stunning. It's no mystery that this song is magnificent! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song SUNNY MYSTERY performed by A-ha Once again, A-ha and lead singer Morten Harket have come out with another incredible song! This song, along with others in their most recent album "Foot of the Mountain" exude brilliance. A-ha will most likely never be dethroned because there will never be any other contenders up to par. Awesome song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Take On Me performed by A-ha This classic takes back to my High School years I had the record and I would set it to play on the automatic record changer over and over and over and never got sick of it maybe my parents did hearing it comming from my room! Really I enjoyed all of A-Ha's songs but Take on me is the one the band will be most remembered for as for the video I grew up in the Country so I never seen it untill much later becuse we did not have access to cable TV awesome song! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Take On Me performed by A-ha It's a fantastic song,apparantly the song that made A-HA famous. The video is also done very well. A few years ago I became obbssed with A-HA and I just couldn't go to sleep without hearing take on me, soon they'll have a new album out and hopefully I will find it for a cheap price and buy it! The _80's Genz | Reviewer: alan shuhime ------ About the song Take On Me performed by A-ha Boy! What a memory it is! This mid 80's masterpiece by A-ha was & still my favorite tune after all these years! I was 16 or 17 yrs old if I'm not mistaken when it hit the air waves back then! Now at 44 & a daddy, I will let my 13 yrs old girl to enjoy it like I did many years back! It gives me the goose bumps every time I hear it! Long live the 80's! Generation Classic... | Reviewer: melissa ------ About the song Take On Me performed by A-ha I was born in 1978 and was so also very young when this song first came out, I saw it on the telly a few times and had no clue who sang it but I just knew I absolutely love it.. For many years the song and video remained a somewhat hazy memory until the day I caught sight of it playing on a cable music channel.. Transfixed and filled with emotion, this song brought me straight back to my childhood, really felt the chills watching the video too. I really believe it's the support from video which helps make this song so effective and unforgettable. So far, everyone's review on this song hasn't failed to mention how amazing the video is also. My 2 children aged 11 and 5 have also been touch by the magic in this song and video. They watch it on You Tube and often ask me to play it in the car too! Really proves to me that good, effective music can truely be enjoyed, appreciate and remembered no matter what age or generation your born in. my favorites | Reviewer: Lee John ------ About artist/band A-ha am a senior citizen but not too old to really appreciate beautiful music. For its video and beautiful orchestration and the incomparable voice of the lead singer, Morten, this is unsurpassable. Never, never tire of listening to this song..The sunshine/TV song is a close second! behind the lyrics | Reviewer: rox ------ About the song Take On Me performed by A-ha I was just a wee thing when this song came out, but that didn't stop me from loving the song and the video (not to mention thinking that they were the most beautiful men alive=-) Does anyone have any info behind the lyrics? I'm very curious to know what the motivation was behind writing the song. Talk to me someone! Peace, love, and lyrics, Rox-the one and only MY FAVOURITE SONG! | Reviewer: Ralph ------ About the song Take On Me performed by A-ha I COULDNT AGREE MORE WITH EVERYONE. I WAS BORN IN 1977 AND WAS STILL VERY YOUNG WHEN IT CAME OUT - DONT KNOW HOW I KNOW THE SONG WORD FOR WORD, PROBABLY BECAUSE ITS AWESOME!! VIDEO CLIP IS ACE, MOST CERTAINLY AHEAD OF ITS TIME! IT REALLY DOES GIVE YOU CHILLS WHEN YOU HEAR IT. SIMPLY AWESOME, CAN LISTEN TO IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO ANY ONE THAT KNOWS SOMEONE WHO HASNT HEARD IT, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU MAKE THEM LISTEN TO IT - IT REALLY DOES DEFINE A GREAT ERA. CHEERS Amazing Song! | Reviewer: MasqueradeAngel3@aol.com ------ About the song Take On Me performed by A-ha I agree with Kit's review. I definitely think I was born in the wrong era, though I was just a couple of months too late. :P But by the time I was born, many of the different styles of music were still being affected by the 80's. I love anything to do with the 80's, from peoples clothing, to their style of music. It's just all so fascinating. adittional news | Reviewer: Morty ------ About artist/band A-ha a-ha also released an album in 2005, called Analogue.

I love this band, and I love their music. My favorite song would have to be Take on Me. The video was absolutely amazing and it amazes me the work it would have taken to create that video. I may only be a 14 year old freshman at Kingsford HighSchool in michigan, but, A HA is a great band. I love all the oldies. Right now, we are doing a project in US History about different era's. I picked the 80's because tons of good music happened during this era, especially A HA. This Biography is really helping me out on my project, thanks alot. so-so | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Take On Me performed by A-ha this song is really the only good song to have come out by a-ha. or, at least the most popular. while i agree the songs annoying, i like to see u hit that note again...and again..and again. also, the videos freakin' awesome a-ha is RULEZ | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Take On Me performed by A-ha This song was called Lesson One when a-ha recorded a demo of it at Paul Waaktaar-Savoy`s house.I heard Lesson One,and it was absolutely rubbish. Thank god they remade it as Take On Me.And I absolutely love the video for Take On Me.It shows a girl reading a comic with Morten in it.He comes out of the comic and takes the girl inside with him and starts dancing to the song.Hope you enjoyed my review.This is a-ha is RULEZ and from me,it is goodbye. Best song Ever | Reviewer: Ryan ------ About the song Take On Me performed by A-ha When I was 18 this song came out and I just loved it, the song and the video. My friends and I use to listen to it on the way to Pass A Grill beach in Florida. After twenty some years I still get the chills from this song. This band rocks!!! One of the best of a-ha | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Solace performed by A-ha best compo of all time..........magne was superb on the keyboards for the last minute or so and mortens got a haunting voice, pity they didnt come out with a video of the song.........solace if released would have been in the top 10 uk for sure. not sure why some brilliant a-ha songs never appear on videos , this way they dont do justice to their talents and dnt market themselves well One of the best Bond title tracks | Reviewer: Alex ------ About the song The Living Daylights performed by A-ha Hmmm Am i the only one who cherishes the Timothy Dalton Era? His was an underrated Bond that only now does the franchise seem to be recongizing with their choice of another edgier Bond In Daniel Craig. In appropriately splashy sleazy opening credits for which the Bond films are famous, A-ha's exilherating, very uh- 80's sounding title track plays,with Morton Harket's distinctive vocals. There wouldn't ne another male lead song for the Bonds until the recent 'Casino Royale'. Words are very incorrect! | Reviewer: Taras ------ About the song Turn The Lights Down performed by A-ha Words are very incorrect! There is no "i'm coming home" in first verse. "turn around the night is still young realize that things can go wrong" - there should be no "realize that things can go wrong" Etc., etc. A-Ha - Analogue | Reviewer: Ian Dandridge ------ About the song Analogue performed by A-ha Perfect piano playing, the change of tempo goes perfectly witht the song. Great lead singing too along with the background singers. 8/10 the best band | Reviewer: nadia brizuela ------ About artist/band A-ha I have enjoyed their music since 1985 and I would like to get their mails in order to write to them. thanks You could review the artist/band A-ha in Biography page You could review A-ha album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review A-ha song by clicking the song which you like  Download "A-ha" Music | | ||||||||||
