I never thought I would cry when I heard this song😢😢

The news of Morten's diagnosis shocked me completely. As an a-ha fan, news like this is very hard to take. All the memories associated with a-ha, their beautiful songs and Morten's unique voice are running through my head. This band is an important part of my life; their music has given me so much support. I wish I could give some of that back to Morten. I'm praying for him and hope that the disease doesn't progress too quickly and that the medical interventions stabilize him enough so that he can have a relatively normal and very long life.❤❤❤

What happened? What was his diagnosis?

@ElanurMH

​@@bernardoheusi6146He has announced that he has Parkinson's disease and has been trying to come to terms with the effects for a few years. He had two brain operations in the USA last year, where electrodes were inserted in both hemispheres of his brain, which thankfully improved many of the physical effects of the disease. He reports that unfortunately the medication has many side effects, particularly on his voice, which makes singing impossible at the moment. He says that it is a daily balancing act between taking the tablets, the dosage, the time of taking them and the side effects. He tells his fans not to be sad and to concentrate on more important things, especially on preserving nature, which he believes is the basis of existence for humanity and all life.

The song is great and all, but I just want to say that the animation is very impressive. I know for plenty of it they just rotoscoped, but for the parts where it blends in with the real life footage at the beginning and (even more impressively) at 1:35 had me genuinely impressed.

2025 - Morten, Magne and Paul. If you ever read this, I want you to know how important this band has been in my life. I was a child in the 80s and I dreamed that you would appear in my hallway.
As an adult, my dream came true - I saw you in 2010 at Nokia Theatre and then in 2022 at Radio City Music Hall in New York. There I saw a different Morten Harket. Today we know about his condition, and all his fans send him a hug of love and solidarity. A-ha will never die, your music marked a generation.

I was really sad to hear that Morten Harket has Parkinson’s disease. He has such an amazing voice in “Take on Me,” and that high note always gives me goosebumps. It’s hard to think that he’s going through something like that. I really hope he gets better. His music means so much to me and so many other people.

[Chorus 1/4]
Take on me (Take on me)...Take me on (Take on me)...I'll be gone...In a day or two...

[Verse 2/3]
So needless to say...I'm odds and ends...But I'll be stumblin' away
Slowly learnin' that life is okay....Say after me..."It's no better to be safe than sorry"...

[Chorus 2/4]
Take on me (Take on me)...Take me on (Take on me)....I'll be gone...In a day or two

[Interlude 1/1]

[Verse 3/3]
All the things that you say...Yeah, is it life or just to play...My worries away?...You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shyin' away...I'll be comin' for you anyway...

[Chorus 3/4]
Take on me (Take on me)....Take me on (Take on me)....I'll be gone...In a day...

Or Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, but that's a whole other ball game. 60s-80s are pretty much the only things I enjoy out of pop music at least. Glad my dad introduced me to it all.

Slowly learning that life is OK.

"It's no better to be safe than sorry."

In a day or two

It's a technique called rotoscoping. An artist basically draws or traces over live footage frame by frame. So the clean accurate lines and movement are traced directly off of video.

@TacoCrisma

There's ton of stuff from the 80s or earlier that was animated with high quality.. Looney toons, classic Disney movies, some animes (Akira) etc.

@ITSTAKING

I'd argue that animation quality and techniques have become worse and worse with time. There's nothing in the post 1990s animation that holds up a candle to anything before it.

@sou141

We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?

Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Oh the things that you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

The video was very advanced for that time, I remember when I saw it for the first time and it surprised me, today 34 years later it still surprises me, it's incredible how years have passed so quickly, In my opinion, it's the best video of the '80s.

@mic1240

Agree, live for moment. That said, think appreciation for music of the 80s compared to today’s. Not necessarily aha, but hard to imagine any of today’s artists imprint on music like so many greats of 80s, from Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston, U2, Van Halen, and so many others across so many genres. Today, nobody even close.

@colddekstar

The 80s were shit for really everyone minus some queen, Elton John, Billy Joel, and a couple of others (including, but not limited to, Take on me, Sweet Child O' Mine, Never Gonna Give You Up, among hundreds more). Besides those what you want to hear is 60s 70s 90s

Pero hay algo mas es como que cuando ya era chico es como que ya conocía este tema. Yo naci en 1988. Y aveces siento que este TEMA me traslada a los 80 profundamente pero yo recien nací en el 88. Osea cuando era un niño ya sentia nostalgia como que ya había vivido una etapa de mi vida antes de que naciera y este tema me hace recordar una vida pasada. Soy de Argentina y espero que alguien aya leido y entendido que quice decir..
