Hive Music Festival week 133 round 1/ A-ha - Take on Me (Keyboard cover)
Hello, my friends at Music Zone. It's a pleasure for me to be able to share with you all once again this new week of this amazing contest, where great talents from all over the world participate. This time, I bring you a cover on my keyboard of a classic English pop song by the Norwegian band A-ha. The song is called "Take on Me," a synth-heavy track featuring a variety of instruments, including acoustic guitar, keyboards, and drums. It was originally released as a single for Europe in 1984, without being included on any album, and it didn't have much commercial reception. A second version was later released, included on the group's debut album, "Hunting High and Low," in April 1985. Although the second version sold more than the first, it wasn't very popular on the charts either. Despite this, a third and final release in September 1985, accompanied by a video, was what managed to increase the band's sales and popularity by that time. The group reached number one on the charts in the United States, Norway, and twelve other countries, and number two in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Japan. The video features the band members represented in pencil-drawn animations and also includes live footage. VH1 ranked it third on its 100 Best One-Hit Wonders of the 80s. At the 2009 Spellemannprisen awards ceremony, "Take on Me" was recognized as the best Norwegian hit of the last fifty years. For this cover, I used a relic keyboard that's older than I am. I was given it as a gift when I was a kid, and I still have it. It has effects very similar to those used by musicians from the 80s and early 90s.
Lyrics/ Letra
We're talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today is another day to find you
Shyin' away
Oh, I'll be comin' for your love, okay
Take on me
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
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
Take on me
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
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
Take on me
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day
(Take on me)
