It’s a beautiful song which I love - and this cover version is almost as good as the orginal by a-ha….well that’s as far as I’m going to admit because nobody’s voice can possibly quite match Morten Harket’s, but these two come close. Espen Lind & Kurt Nilsen - Stay On These Roads, live at Oslo Spektrum, 2006.
….and then again here’s another pair duetting Stay On These Roads on The Voice, Norway and doing a good job.
…..and just for comparison purposes…a-ha singing it live in 2000.

Espen Lind & Kurt Nilsen indeed have a lovely sound together. The first singer is really good. Really liked the second pair.The third version was pretty good though I felt we needed much more of the female singer.

It’s not a duet …in this case, she’s only a backing singer, hence not meant to have a prominent role. The piano accompaniment is important in this version, as the piano run was intended as a feature of the song. The pianist and the guitarist co-wrote the song, and it was tailor-written to fit the band’s vocalist’s vocal range.
@Marionville Sorry but easily I liked the Espen Lind & Kurt Nilsen version best.
@rogerbenham Glad you liked the song…Espen and Kurt did a great job with it.
Loved all three of these, but of course I love Morten the best!
