East of the Sun, West of the Moon featured a cover version of The Everly Brothers’ 1963 single, “Crying in the Rain”. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, A-ha were very popular in South America, especially in Brazil, where the band sold out some of the largest stadiums in the world. At the Rock in Rio II festival in January 1991, A-ha shocked the international entertainment press by drawing an audience of 198,000 at Maracanã stadium for their top-billed evening concert—a Guinness World Record for paying audiences. In contrast, the other performers (George Michael, Prince, and Guns N’ Roses) each drew less than a third of that audience, 60,000 each. In a 2009 interview from Cody Eide in Musicweek, celebrating A-ha‘s upcoming 25-year anniversary, the band members revealed that the record-breaking concert and the lack of media attention they received were a devastating blow to the band. The 1991 Rock in Rio festival, which should have been the band’s crowning achievement, was instead a moment of crushing disappointment. “MTV interviewed everybody except us”, remembers Waaktar-Savoy. “They were all calling their bosses and saying, ‘We must cover A-ha; it’s the only night that has sold out.’ But they weren’t allowed to.” “I felt very alienated,” says Furuholmen. “It made us feel hopeless. We played to the biggest crowd in the world, and they ignored it.”

Simple & interesting 
don’t know if you have done this one yet. but it is my fave…
You say the world’s an eventful place
You give me news I don’t want to know
You say that I should care
That I should speak my mind
Oh, but how can I speak of the world rushing by
With a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes
Oh, have we come to the point of no turning back
Or is it still time to get into the swing of things
Let us walk through this windless city
I’ll go on till the winter gets me
Oh, sleep you wrote sleep, my dear
In a letter somewhere
Oh, but how can I sleep with your voice in my head
With an ocean between us and room in my bed
Oh, have I come to the point where I’m losing the grip
Or is it still time to get into the swing of things
Oh, when she glows in the dark and I’m weak by the sight
Of this breathtaking beauty in which I can hide
Oh, there’s a world full out there of people I fear
But given time I’ll get into the swing of things
Yes, when she glows in the dark and I’m struck by the sight
I know that I’ll need this for the rest of my life
Oh, I know that I’ll need this
For the rest of my life
You know that I need
You know that I need
What have I done, what lies I have told
I’ve played games with the ones that rescued my soul
Oh, have I come to the point where I’m losing the grip
Or is it still time to get into the swing of things
“The Swing Of Things”, not yet but is on my list. 🙂
