A-ha – The Sun Always Shines on T.V. (1985) | Iconic 80s Synth-Pop Classic Cover

Описание: The Sun Always Shines on T.V. is one of the most powerful and emotionally rich songs of the 1980s, originally released in 1985 by a-ha.

The track was the follow-up single to “Take On Me” and appeared on a-ha’s debut album Hunting High and Low. While Take On Me introduced the band to the world, The Sun Always Shines on T.V. revealed their depth, atmosphere, and emotional weight, proving they were far more than a one-hit wonder.

Written by Pål Waaktaar-Savoy, the song explores themes of:
• Loneliness and longing
• The contrast between public success and private emotion
• Wanting connection beneath the surface
• Light versus darkness — both emotionally and lyrically

Musically, it’s a masterclass in 80s synth-pop drama:
• Expansive, cinematic synth layers
• A slow, brooding build
• One of Morten Harket’s most powerful vocal performances
• A soaring, unforgettable chorus

The song reached No.1 in the UK Singles Chart, cementing a-ha’s place as one of the defining bands of the decade and remains a fan favourite to this day.

This performance is my personal interpretation of this stunning classic — aiming to honour the emotion, atmosphere, and intensity that make it such a timeless and underrated 80s masterpiece.

If you love:
• 80s synth-pop
• Atmospheric, emotional songs
• Classic hits with real depth
• Timeless melodies that still resonate today

…then I hope you enjoy this one.
