That MTV Unplugged version is possibly one of the most beautifully done songs EVER. I fondly remember that crazy, mind blowing video for the original when it came out... It was a fun feel good song. But the unplugged version is an entirely new animal. It's a heart breaking, soul rending love song. Made me cry the first time I heard it. Idk maybe I'm getting soft in my old age.

The interesting thing here is that the song was composed before they even met Morten, and still it appears to be written exactly for his vocal range. There are very few singers who have volume and expression across more than two octaves. The riff and the refrain were created independently from each other but still it all fits together so nicely and organically.

Hands down, one of the most unique, creatively proprietary and exciting songs in the history of popular music.
IT RICHLY DESERVES TO BE UP ALONG SIDE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME, CONTEMPORARY RECORDINGS.The aural quality- the flawless instruments, the arrangement and the perfect mixing job .....and
then.. THAT VOCAL!!!
Untouchable!

I saw them live in France back in 1988 and they were awsome. As a musician myself, I was fascinated by their writing skills and on stage they weren't a pop band but a f*** rock band, they kicked ass big time! Hard and loud and mean, with Morten running all over the place, singing as if it was his last day on Earth...The shocked look of disbelief of all the teenage girls wetting their knickers while screaming "Morten! Morten" when they launched the riff of "The sun always shines on TV"...Priceless! I saw some crying, not understanding what was happening, shouting (in french of course) "What are they doing?What are they doing?". They wanted to see a pop band but well.. disappointment kicked in and voila! a-ha is a rock band with great tunes! Traumatised for life!
Cheers guys!
