This A-ha hit was one of my favourite 80s songs from my childhood but it's not normally associated with an acoustic guitar, so I thought it was high-time I attempted a 'Jody version' of it. I was so excited to do it I didn't take the time to learn the lyrics (hence the wandering eyes!). This is the first part of what will be my 'A-ha Trilogy', so keep your eyes peeled for the next one!

So far the best acoustic guitar cover from this song
Thanks! :) It's not an easy one to do!
Completely agree! you are the besst man!
KILLED IT, JODY!
Thank you! 😀 Feel free to check out my other a-ha covers on here. Have a great weekend!
You even sounds like Morten Harkett. Excellent!
Thanks! If I even sound half as good as Morten Harkett I would be happy! :)
I did a random search and this came up. I was pleasantly suprised. If he was busking, I would definitely toss a few coins in.
Wow!! Wow!!, I don't even have words, Wow!!!
Thank you 🙏
HI Jody,
I wonder if you could play Loverboy by Billy Ocean on accoustic guitar.
It's a request.
@@veets207 I’m not so familiar with a lot of Billy Ocean stuff (to be fair I was pretty young at the time) so I didn’t know this one. Great song! Thanks for the request! 🙂
Прекрасное исполнение! 2021 год!
Thank you! :) I hope you have a great 2021!
спасибо!)) отличная игра и исполнение!! пока мы живы то всегда будем петь эту песню, поскольку она очень близка и дорога нам!!
Brilliant cover, everyone else sloooows iiit riiight dooown.
Tough song too
Thanks Richard! Really appreciate this. Greetings from Germany! 👋
An amazing cover of my favorite A-ha song .
Thank you! I'd been meaning to learn this song for a while as it's my favourite too. Then I heard a-ha live for the first time last year and recently their unplugged performance. That was all the inspiration I needed :)
Beautiful....
Thank you Aleksandra :) Feel free to check out my Hunting High and Low cover. I think it's even better.
Excellent !!!
Thanks! 😊
O melhor que já vi....
Thank you Leandro! Greetings from Germany 👋🏻
Wow man. I usually try to find acoustic covers and end up completely disappointed. Not only did I not expect to find a cover of this, I definitely did not expect to be downright impressed. Kudos to you mate!
Thanks Fronzley! :) It's been one of my favourite 80s songs ever since I was a child. It wasn't easy to work those chords out, as I'm sure you can imagine ;)
Beautiful. A very good acoustic rendition.
Thank you Ninin :) I hope you’re doing well. Greetings from Germany!
@@jodycoopermusic Bitte Jody.
Espetacular! 🇧🇷
Thank you! :)
So much skill per views, I cant imagine how much training is behind that
Without question the best acoustic rendition of this i9s classic. Well done mate!!
Thanks Johnny! 🙂 I just love to sing this song - it just has so much feeling. By the way, I enjoyed your showreel - great, great acting! If I ever have a chance to get into that profession I'll definitely take a leaf out of your book 👍
Wonderful to hear from you!! I decided to watch your video again because i absolutely love your voice and rendition to find out you replied to my comment :) thanks for the compliment on my acting!! Maybe one day we ll cross patch on the big screen. Until then ill see you on your next video. Have a great day!! @jodycoopermusic
Love it well done Colin uk
Thanks Colin :) Hope you’re doing well!
I could put this on repeat while I travel in my car and not mind at all, but be energized by the emotion you invest while playing. This is art.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It makes me happy that someone connected with it and I appreciate that :)
Wow!
Thanks Brian! :)
Super bravo

That was amazing. Incredible. Great Morten tone. Not easy.
Thanks Mick, really appreciate that. What amazes me is why it took me so long to think about covering it ;)

Bloody hell i'm still here 2 years later still learning this haha.
Well done for your persistence! ;) Any particular problems I can help with?
@@jodycoopermusic when you go from am down to the filler things, like on 7th fret, what notes are they, and the next one.
An amazing cover!!!
Thank you so much 🙏 I hope you enjoy my other videos on here too 😀 Hello from Germany! 👋
Like so many others have said, AMAZING job. Great guitar, coupled with a terrific voice. Just starting to learn this song and I have a long ways to go.

すばらしい、最高
from Japan
Thank you! 😀 Greeting from Germany 👋🏻
So much tonal clarity and the chords/strumming pattern is excellent. Eleven out of ten!
Thanks! You clearly know your stuff :)
@@jodycoopermusic thanks - I’m not sure I do, I just hope I’m using the right terms to describe what i love about your performance. You’re fantastic.
Well done man
Thanks! :) Hope all's well with you!
Super Cover !!❤❤
Thank you! 🙏🙂
nice work, you did this great song well justice
Thanks! :)
Brilliant stuff! Getting goosebumps

Bravo 👍👏👏👏
Thank you! :)
Wow,,, Excellent-! Thanks for this :)
Thanks Christiaan :) Hope you’re doing alright!
Superb cover. Love the energy.
Thanks Ari! I’ve always loved this song but never thought to try it because of the whole 80s synth arrangement. But, when you simply have a good song, I guess anything’s possible :)
@@jodycoopermusic yes I've held off covering it due to the 80's synth arrangement but have just attempted one on a digital piano - think it would have certainly been easier on a synth! Look forward to hearing your next song/cover/composition :-)
Wow! Good job!! ✌
Thank you! :)
Muy talentoso! Gracias por compartir una gran versión!
Thank you so much Josue! :)
I really enjoyed your so perfect and respectfull version of this beatifull song. You took me to my young years... what else can I say... OH YES! A BIG THANK YOU!!
Thank you for dropping by and leaving such a lovely comment. I’m glad you enjoyed it! It was not easy to do as I’m sure you can imagine but I really enjoyed the challenge of attempting one of my all-time favourite songs. Greetings from Germany! 😀
WOW, GREAT JOB!!!
Thanks! Sorry for the late response!
GEnial, una gran obra musical y la voz es perfecta
Thank you Juan! :) Greetings from Germany!
Beautifully done. Certainly not an easy song to do acoustically. Subscribed!
Thanks! I've always loved this song but I like a challenge and it definitely was! 😉
Well done sir - a top effort this, excellent stuff. :)
Amazing
Thanks Mike! Hope you're doing well, wherever in the world you are :)
So nice.
Thank you! :)
Thanks for this excellent cover...
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it :)
This is stunning mate.
Thanks Stephen, much appreciated! :)
I'm actually surprised that you got so few likes for this fantastic performance. If it were possible, you would get 100 from me 👌
Thanks Dan! Well, feel free to spread the word among your friends and maybe between you you can get more than 100 likes 😀
Thanks for this. (And the sly "uh-huh, right??" grin at 1:15 was well placed. Arrived just after I thought "nicely played" to that transition.)
Thank you! Yes, that grin was partially deliberate, not the least because I was so happy I managed to get through that intro in one piece ;)
WOWOWOW! AWESOME work on this. You sound great! ~Adam @ PPicks
Thanks Piper! Hope you’re doing ok in your part of the world! :)
Bravo!
Thanks! :)
super :)
Thanks! :)
Great... Nothing more to say. :-)
Thanks Tim :) Keep up the good work!
yes there is more to say, how does he do the run after the first chorus down the fret, what are the chords, that's what i want to know
wow mate, so great , thanks 4 sharing o7
Thanks Rodrigo! You're welcome :)
Sem nenhuma dúvida, esse foi melhor cover que escutei hoje.
Parabéns! (Brasil)
Thank you so much! :)

You won one more registration.
Somehow stumbled on this wonderful video (great job on a tough song!)..... and it reminds me of how awesome the internet can be. The only thing that makes me happier than the video itself is the comments section...nothing but love; shocking for UA-cam! Congratulations and good job to everyone on this page...there is hope for the world yet!
Thank youuuu! :D Yes, I am surprised how a spur of the moment cover decision is getting so much love, but there you go, I'm not complaining! ;)
@@jodycoopermusic :-)
absolutely loving this! you sound amazing!!
Thank you! :)

Who's Joy? 🤨🤭
Wow, really impressive! I'm still wondering why this video doesn't have more views...you deserve to be known for such amazing cover :)
By any chance, would it be possible to upload a tutorial video to teach how to play it? Would be great!
Wow
Thanks! :)
Super!!!
Thanks! :)
This is great! One of my favourite songs :)
Thanks Rebecca, mine too! Hope you're well! :)
