Take On Me - Ed Privat (cover)

A week ago I told people not to use the same backdrop twice, only to use the same backdrop two weeks in a row, I should apologize in advance.

Right now I am a lil busy with stuffs, so it's difficult to even find moments to post, but no excuse man, I'll do better next week and find another cool location to shoot!

Today, we are rediscovering the acoustic version of a classic, Aha's Take On Me.
The song was in Deadpool 2, a really stripped down version of this track, that fits perfectly with the mood of the scene.

I think I've already played this one on the blockchain when we were still in South Africa in 2018, but I really enjoy it!

It's been a few days now that I was trying to find the right moment to do it, and as usual it's the weather that dictates when I can do that.
One of my dog jack decided to follow me during the entire setting up, we enjoyed watching the sun rising and Naledi followed us 😁

Once again I underestimated how cold it was, the fingers couldn't really move haha, and the voice was shaking a little bit.

Jack on the other hand, doesn't give a damn about the cold, and would chill here the entire time if he could.

You'll also hear in the song, that I've invented a new word, "strumbling" which is a mix between "stumbling" and "strumming", just roll with it 🙃

Now if you'll excuse me, I will catch up with all your contents!

[Verse 1]
We're talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?
[Chorus]
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
[Verse 2]
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
[Chorus]
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
All things that you say, yeah
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
[Outro]
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day
Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day

Nice one man! Great song. I was actually able to watch it this time, ha.

The sun rise in the background makes for a nice backdrop. 👌

Yeeeees brother! Thanks for even taking the time to watch it's truly appreciated, I might go back to post on 3speak but the uploading is time consuming, as you were also talking about it on you other comment on your post, and it doesn't always work. Last week was an exusive song so it's better if it isn't on YouTube to keep it that way.

Dude I don't get tired of sun rises, they're just so perfect...

I'm really digging your version of Aha's "Take On Me" (dating myself by saying it's one of my all time favorite MTV videos!)

Your style reminds of the happy feeling one gets when you find a cool, off the radar bar/restaurant that was recommended by a local while on vacation,. The food is excellent. The libations are perfect. Just when you think it can't get any better you hear live music. One guy singing and playing the guitar. You know the lyrics but can't quite remember the original version because you like this rendition so much better! That is what you did here!

"Deadpool" movies feature some fantastic music tracks and I enjoyed the unique movies for whatever reasons.

Gorgeous scenery and
a handsome dog model!

Strumble on!

Don't forget about the kitty cat, she is going to be jealous!

Hahaha and this isn't my favorite part of the comment yet, but that was so funny because if we could compare my career to something this is it, you nailed it, I want to keep that cool off the radar restaurant vibe, but would still spread the words for the cool people you know.

This is my favorite part 😄 Though in all honesty I also couldn't remember the lyrics while singing, so it might explain why it's different from the original version lol.

MTV had some good years at first! Before it went terrible...

Thanks for your awesome comment, with the emojis at the end and all!

strumbling since 1984

I may be too young when this song was released by I remember my older sister listening to this and the other boy bands' songs. It's a beautiful song and a truly wonderful rendition of yours @edprivat! I can imagine chilling by the beach while listening to this song. ❤️

I think I was also too young when the song got released, I wasn't even born now come to think of it because the year of release is 1984!

Oh yeah, that's the total beach vibe, you got it! It makes me even wanna play the song on the beach now hahah.
thanks for the comment dear!

Really? It's been a while. Time flies really. But even during my high school days we'd jam with friends while singing this song.

"strumbling" LOLOLOLOL

I truly enjoyed your interpretation of the famous AHA song. Seen Deadpool 2 (a great movie by the way!), but don't remember they included this song until I read about it here above in your post. Wondering what happened with that Swedish (?) band?

AHa aha ha...(see what I just did)

BRo it's the Mandela effect 😃
The only explanation, is you come from a reality where the song isn't in the movie anymore.

let me know if it plays

AHa aha ha...(see what I just did)

😂 😂 😂 absolutely

let me know if it plays

Sure it played and when seeing the vid the memories came back in an instant. And then I thought: Real AHA or a cover? The search was on...

Seems AHA is very much alive... Unplugged and Reboot at MTV. I know the unplugged series, but never heard of the Reboot. I suppose AHA is rebooting themselves? That guy has some age on his face. But a very cool song and super re-edition.

Amazing brou!

Thanks brother truly appreciated!!

Thanks brother!

I used to do a real nice mix with house music and Aha back in the day.

I wrote that sentence before I listened. I was not expecting love ballad at all. Very nice.

I don't know why I am so happy every time you check the music posts. Maybe because your tastes in music are ok 😂

I was not expecting love ballad at all

Right? And go check the actual Aha acoustic version, you'll see they take it even more slowly, and there's a nice reverb on the voice, which I tried to add on my version but I just prefer when it's a dry sound for the outdoor, otherwise it sounds almost unnatural, lip synced like we talked about before.

Thanks for watching this one, I actually posted because you complained there were no youtube link for a while now, and realized you were right!

Maybe because your tastes in music are ok

Takes one to know one.

;D

Loving this, the way you are combining nature and music is great!

Thanks for this beautiful cover.

Hello dear @eugelys, so great to have you here! I hope life is good to you, and that in wish you a wonderful weekend 🤗

Jack looks to be in his element, you however my man look a bit cold. Should start the day with a coffee and Armagnac, that'll warm ya up.

Wicked version of the tune tho, nice one.

Yeah frozen balls on a platter! You mean the Armagnac bottle that you have? Alright I am inviting myself in then 🤣

Thanks brother, truly appreciate your support throughout the days!

I love this song, lol 🤣 I confess I loved the aha video and the singer was sooo handsome,so I secretly sing this one sometimes myself, will dm you a story doing it. And well done, nostalgia strings resonating

Lol I am sure you're singing it well, please dm the story haha.

Thanks for the well done, string resonated, chords played, and song sung! 😁

I like this acoustic and very intimate version of this song that you achieve here man. Congratulations and the landscape is beautiful too.

An extraordinary rendition of one of the most beautiful and complex-for-sing song of all time. Landscape completes the experience going it to be legendary. Congratulations. Try to play in one tone lower. I use to do it in that way.I do it in that way when I sing it.

Hey what's up!

Thanks for the comment and for the opinion! It was early around 7am, so voice not properly warmed up, it's ok though, I can live with the fact that it's out there, and with my name on it haha.

Cheers buddy!

2 downvotes on this!?😖 What a joke!🤦‍♀️ I love this song and your groovy version is great👏👏👏💟🙏
