The title track from the a-ha album, Minor Earth Major Sky, released in 2000.
Despite being remembered in some quarters as a one-hit wonder of the 1980s for the mega hit "Take on Me", which was also a groundbreaking music video, a-ha has been releasing compelling pop music, with interesting and thought-provoking themes about the human condition, for almost three decades now. I was lucky enough to see them live at the height of their fame, in Glasgow, in 1988, and I've remained an admirer of their work to this day.
Here's a wonderful live version, from last year.
Bach is great... but pop matters too!
