- Hey All! This is the third song I've heard from Cast in Steel, and man, this one was more upbeat than what I've heard previously. Absolutely loved this one.

it's cool when you bring the small details in the music to the fore, "listen to that guitar", just the little things you mention during your commentary that make your reactions special..awesome stuff Mike
You need to listen to Cosy Prisons. There is one note that is just so perfect. A-ha are just awesome!
Wanna hear Morten hit a super high note then you need to listen to Living A Boy’s Adventure Tale. It’s on the Hunting High and Low album. Maybe the highest note he ever recorded. Plus it’s a stellar song. You’ll love it.
Hi Tim.I've watched them live many magical times in the past.I still remember him performing LABAT and it's live version was thrilling.In this song's live outro was Morten striking repeatedly this high note till fade!We fans all got stunned in the stadium looking at each other.We just couldn't believe our ears!It was breathtaking.
That’s a lovely song! But he hit a D5 in his chest voice in Touchy! The Living A Boy’s Adventure Tale was his falsetto:)
Giving up the ghost is another magne song on cast in steel I think you will love Mike. Similar in its composition sound wise. Add it to the vast list
Agreed. I'd like to hear your opinion on lyrics too....)
Great song! It’s very annoying that not all the a-ha albums are on iTunes, so I can’t get this on my iPhone (it’s not connected to a computer because I need a new one…) This album is on my list of CDs to get:) I’m saving some of the harder-to-get a-ha cd’s to listen to later cause I didn’t want to binge them all and run out lol 😂
Please do Minor Earth Major Sky! If you’re looking for a good groove from their post-hiatus period this one’s probably the best!
This song truly tears me up. It reminds me of the girl I loved too much.
MOTHER NATURE GOES ..., PLEASE!
Magne wrote this song, sadly Paul does not play on this track whatsoever, they still can’t sit in the same studio and write and record together. Paul wrote cast in steel so you get quite a different contrast between the songs that both of them write. The new album is half written by magne and the other half Paul. So yea sadly they didn’t sit in a studio and go hey that’s a cool beat. if you ever get to see the a-ha movie it goes into their conflicts between Paul and magne. Has to do with royalties around song writing. was mentioned before that this song could have been about Paul and shadow endeavours was about magne , both of them used each titles when asked about the other in an interview.
Shadow endeavours is a track on the cast in steel album
However, I gotta say that the two songs on the album that were written by Morten ('Living at the End of the World' and 'The Wake') are among my favorites on the album.
@@dainiiclv giving up the ghost is a personal favourite
Morten has a couple of songs on "Cast in Steel", too, and actually they are some of my favorites, "The Wake" and "Living at the End of the World". Especially "The Wake" is growing on me. Maybe it is a personally thing, I love them both. Morten is an excellent song writer, too, working with the people he use to.
What's the name of a-ha movie?
My favorite song from Cast in Steel. I love darker a-ha with songs such as Scoundrel Days, Cold as Stone or Mythomania.
Nice!Kinda Depeche Mode vibes in terms of instrumentation.Why don;t you go back and do some dive into their 1st 2 albums for a while?"Dream my self alive"/"The blue sky"/"Here i stand and face the rain"/"Living a boys adventure tale"/"Soft rains of April" are some grrr8t ones too.!
Yes! Living A Boy Adventure Tale is a must of the early period of the band. Also, I like very much Here I Stand and Face the Rain and Soft Rain of April... less known but interesting and unique! Morten's voice is out of this world! 😊🎶
@@sylvieouellet212 Agree.That Nordic God Morten, can do anything with his utopic playful voice.From adopting a punchy macho vocal sound to even turn into an expressive tender,warm sounding guardian angel.Especially on songs such as "SROApri"l or even on "Scoundrel Days" he can use his voice playing both "roles".Even today after all these years i sometimes still get shivers on hearing him singing "SDays" or even on "The Swing of Things".If i have to describe him i'ld say he sounds like a cross between a tuneful David Bowie and Roy Orbinson but with his own identity.Thanks for responding back Sylvie.
That’s a good comparison, like a Bowie meets Orbison. But his falsetto is so unique! I like to joke he’s got five different voices;)
@@emmyfischer307 Agreed.Morten's voice is One of a kind and noone is like him,not even his impersonators.For me it's the best male singing voice ever recorded in history of modern music.He can play with his vocal colours while singing 5 and 95 different ways depending on the song and its mood.As for his falsetos he can be as high pitched as can get and still sound manly and angelic.That's my personal subjective estimation.Period.
@@alexioverdo5225 I completely agree!
Very good how you dissect the different elements of a-ha’s songs.
I think as you liked this one so much that Sunny Mystery from foot of the mountain album would be an equally good one for you to react to. Some great synths on that one. Another great reaction though here Mike 👍
I like that you like their whole spectrum of sounds. 👏
What kind of sound would you like next? We can come up with suggestions based on that 😊
Loooooove it. This was me when I first heard them, allllll the bits.
You need to react to "Living a Boys Adventure Tale" and "October"
Very good reaction!! I enjoy it! You have to listen "locust" or memorial beach from the album memorial beach, and " soft rains of April" from the album scoundrel days. Vangelis from Greece.
Hi there.!I happened to watch them live in Athens too during their 2005 Analogue tour!Fantastic gig!Me and my friend cried when they performed "Hunting high and low".So warm and tenderly sung by Morten, some people next to me also got so moved that went tearyeyed too.As if it was some kind of a sacred moment.
@@alexioverdo5225 i was there too..
Mike, my man! It's great when your song is picked but then you think "what if he doesn't like it??" Like when Mrs Doyle tells Father Ted he has a beautiful voice and asks him to sing something else but, when he does, she says "No. I didn't like that one so much."
Pllllllease do Sunny Mystery, if you like Dr Who then do the dr who fan video mix :)
Reading these comments I realised Mike still has a looooong way to go 🙂 with the discography. Still doing new reviews??
