Last week I posted Episode 1 of the story behind the making of Take On Me...the video of the phenomenally successful hit song by a-ha....and as promised here is Episode 2.
Fantastic video, and how it was made. I am so glad you posted the second one. I’ve been waiting patiently.
There seems to be more...another instalment next week I think. I like that Morten met up with Bunty in the cafe where they filmed the video,..they met during the making of it and then went on to date each other for some months afterwards...sweet. Wonder how she ever could have split up with gorgeous Morten!
@Marionville What a great history I’m learning about the group and Morten. I’ll keep my eye out for more.
@Marionville They probably made a cute couple back then. I too wonder how she could have walked away from him. Perhaps it was mutual.
@Redheadedgammy Yes...I think the band were touring the world nonstop for around two years...she probably got tired waiting around in London. He met his wife Camilla when he saw her in Schipol Airport in Amsterdam and asked one of his security guys to ask her if Morten could come over and speak to her. How shy and sweet is that....the band already had 2 number one records by then!
@Marionville I would imagine dating a band member, especially a band that is popular, is pretty difficult. With them touring and being gone all the time it makes for a tough relationship.That story about how he met his wife is so precious! He looks like such a nice man. He just has a very friendly sweet face and I bet he really is a super nice guy.
@Redheadedgammy Yes..he does seem to be a genuinely nice person, very caring...they all are, and very polite and patient with their fans.
@Marionville I so wish I could go see him live! I know it would be a blast!!!
@Redheadedgammy Maybe some day!
@Marionville yes, maybe after I sell my house and hopefully make a little money on the sale, I could make some plans for a trip to somewhere that they are touring!! How fun would that be????🥰
@Redheadedgammy We could meet up and do it together!
@Redheadedgammy I’ve just posted this in the Classic Rock Group...the video for it starts where the Take on Me video ended....The Sun Always Shines On TV. This was the song that really got me hooked on the band and Morten’s voice.
@Marionville I was thinking this too! I am seriously thinking about planning a trip to see them once I get everything taken care of here. I would love meeting up with you and going to a concert together!!! How fun would that be???? My mind is working overtime now!!!
@Marionville very cool video! Love the song too!!! The more I see and hear of a-ha the more I love them.
