    1985 was the height of the 80's. The height sustained until 1988 and that is when the music started to change to sound more like early 90's. I remember thinking in 1988 how the music sounded different than it did a few years earlier. Man, the 80's was a fantastic time to be alive. The music really made the 1980's.

    Pål Waaktaar Gamst (now Paul Waaktar-Savoy), the lead guitarist, is also the underrated genius who wrote most of a-ha’s songs, and basically all of the lyrics. Morton of course has that effortless frontman charisma and one of the greatest pop voices of all time, and he deserves all the kudos he gets and more, but I wonder how many people know that he’s mostly singing Paul’s incredible original songs? Plus, as a three piece band (with added members occasionally), they were/are a really tight pop rock group and just as amazing live as on vinyl!

    When I was a teenager in the 80's, I traveled to Mexico in a sailing vessel with my family. We decided to live like sailors and go where the wind took us. At that time and before we left, we recorded our favorite local Los Angeles radio station using a "boom box" and magnetic audio cassettes. So, we taped hours of music, DJ comments, commercials, station call letters etc. Basically, it was like a snapshot in time of what was happening on the radio. This song was one of the many we recorded and listened to for hours traveling the Baja California coast and the Sea of Cortez. When I hear it, it brings me back in time.

    I don't understand why the song "Take on me" is more popular than this one. The best song by A-Ha. Dynamic, power, drums, synths, e-guitar, timing all put together in one song. Wonderful.

    Saw A-ha in concert in the 80s. Came home with a broken pink guitar pick that said a-ha on it that Paul through into the audience. I will never forget that! I know Take on Me was a gigantic hit but I dont think this band got nearly enough credit back in the day. They were so talented!!!
