tuxette's Journal: The Sun Always Shines on TV

They're showing an a-ha concert on NRK now. And they're performing this song now. I think it's my favorite a-ha song...at least one of them. The volume is up up up...

touch me, how can it be?
believe me, the sun always shines on TV
hold me close to your heart
touch me and give all your love to me
to me....

I reached inside myself and found
nothing there to ease the pressure of my ever worrying mind
ohhh
all my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks the mirror's sending me these days
ohhh

touch me, how can it be?
believe me, the sun always shines on TV
hold me close to your heart
touch me and give all your love to me.

please don't ask me to defend
the shameful lowlands of the way I'm drifting gloomily through time
ohhh
I reached inside myself today
thinking there's got to be some way to keep my troubles distant
ohhh

touch me
how can it be?
believe me
the sun always shines on TV
hold me
close to your heart
touch me
and give all your love to me

hold me
close to your heart
touch me
and give all your love to me
to me....

Complaints?

I've always loved that whole album. However, I'm always going to think Take On Me is their finest moment! :)

If you haven't already, you should listen to their most recent two CDs, Minor Earth, Major Sky and Lifelines. Miles beyond their 80s stuff, very mature and polished. They're currently in the studio finishing up a new album, too.

Morten Harket

[Mantorp]

has the best voice in pop music history. His range is incredible. My favorite a-ha song is Hunting high and low.

I saw their Live 8 performance on aolmusic, very good. Hope they come here soon, I'm a sucker for 80s revival tours.

Sorry, but Freddie Mercury wins hands down.

I believe the operative word there is the present tense, "has" :-P
