  • [OT] Really good version of "Take On Me" by AHA

    This came up in my Substack feed and I thought I'd share it so you can
    enjoy it too. It's an unplugged version of Take on Me.

    It's amazing how the feel changes when you slow it down dramatically and
    play it with only acoustic instruments.

    If you want more acoustic versions of well known songs just search for
    MTV Unplugged on Youtube.
    The Aha acoustic Take on Me comes from a 2017 concert they did.

    Good find. That was beautiful. I really doon't care for the more
    familiar version as it's overproduced. With this, the emotions come
    through. It's wistful, just slightly lonely. It's much more effective.

    The piano was still electric.
