"Accept On Me" is a song by Norwegian synth-pop band A-ha. The original version, recorded in 1984, was produced by Tony Mansfield and remixed by John Ratcliff. The 1985 international striking version was produced past Alan Tarney for the grouping's debut studio album, Hunting High and Low (1985). The recording combines synth-pop with a varied instrumentation, including acoustic guitars, keyboards, and drums.

The original 1984 version "Take On Me" failed to chart in the United Kingdom, equally did the second version in the first of its two 1985 releases. The second of those 1985 releases charted in September 1985, reaching number 2 on the United kingdom Singles Chart in October. In the United states of america in Oct 1985 the unmarried topped Billboard's Hot 100, no dubiousness bolstered by the wide exposure on MTV of director Steve Barron's innovative music video featuring the band in a live-action pencil-sketch blitheness sequence. The video won half-dozen awards and was nominated for two others at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards.

Groundwork [edit]

"Accept On Me" originated from Pål Waaktaar'due south and Magne Furuholmen'southward previous band Bridges.[2]

One of the tracks rehearsed around this time was called "Miss Eerie", which had an original championship of "Panorama". Information technology included elements of what would later go "Take On Me", including the central synth riff, which Magne Furuholmen created when he was xv years one-time.[three] [4] [5] Initially the ring felt the riff was too popular oriented for their band, thus the offset version of the vocal was more "punky" in an endeavour to first the riff.[6] The first take of the song was inspired in part past Doors fellow member Ray Manzarek and his "almost mathematical but very melodic, structured fashion of playing".[seven] Waaktaar initially thought the song would be too pop to piece of work with although Furuholmen recalled thinking it was "quite tricky".[half dozen]

Soon afterwards, Bridges disbanded. Waaktaar and Furuholmen relocated to London to try their hand in the music industry at that place, merely returned to Norway after half dozen months of disappointment.[two] They were joined past singer Morten Harket and began working on demos, including a new version of "Miss Eerie", which was renamed "Lesson 1" earlier information technology evolved into "Have On Me". In January 1983, the band returned to London in search of a recording contract.[2] They intended the song to show off Harket's vocal range, which led to his vocals "doing this spiralling matter".[seven]

Recording and product [edit]

The band moved into an apartment in London and began contacting record companies and publishing houses. Later a few meetings with diverse A&R personnel, they signed with the publishing house Lionheart. A-ha returned to Norway to earn some money; when they returned to London, they left Lionheart out of frustration.[eight] They decided to record new demos, and chose the studio of musician and producer John Ratcliff, intending to re-record five songs. The band signed with Ratcliff, who introduced them to manager Terry Slater. With this encouragement, the band managed to consummate some songs, including "Have On Me". Later on a few meetings, Slater signed them with Warner Bros. Records UK.[viii]

The ring met with producer Tony Mansfield, an expert in the employ of the Fairlight CMI, who mixed the demos with electronic instrumentation. The audio was non what A-ha had hoped to achieve, and the album was remixed again. The ring rushed to release "Accept On Me" as a unmarried in the United Kingdom simply the single only charted at 137, the lowest-charted of all A-ha songs. Afterward this, Warner Brothers' main office in the United states decided to invest in the band, and gave them the opportunity to re-tape the song.[viii] The song was produced using the Roland Juno-60 synthesiser for the main riff, along with the Yamaha DX7 and PPG Wave synthesizers.[9]

The instrumentation included a Yamaha DX7 and PPG Moving ridge, with Furuholmen playing the primary melody on a Roland Juno-lx. A LinnDrum drum auto was used on the second and 3rd releases, with acoustic cymbals and hello-chapeau overdubbed. Harket sang the lead song using a Neumann U47 microphone likewise as a Neve microphone pre-amp and Neve equaliser.[ten]

In 2020, former Warner Brothers Uk and Reprise executive Andrew Wickham appeared in A-ha's official anniversary documentary A-ha: The Making of Take On Me, to explicate how the vocal's success was due to several parties realising the band's true value. He detailed how the vocal finally became the worldwide smash hit withal widely recognised today. In 1984, he was the international vice-president for Warner Bros Records America, and their A&R man in London. He said, "I got a call from Terry Slater... I couldn't believe my ears (at the band's audition) when I heard Morten Harket sing. I thought, how can somebody who looks like a film star sound like Roy Orbison? I thought, this is unbelievable."

Wickham immediately signed A-ha to Warner Brothers America, after learning several previous attempts had failed to make "Take On Me" a commercial success. The next release was not successful either and featured a very ordinary performance video. He authorised considerable investment in the band: on Slater's recommendation, renowned producer Alan Tarney was commissioned to refine the vocal. The new recording achieved a cleaner and more soaring sound and a coda section instead of the earlier quick fade-out; the song was soon completed and re-released in the UK, but the record label's office in London gave them piffling support, and the unmarried flopped for the second time.[8]

Wickham placed the ring on high priority and applied a lateral strategy with further investment. Steve Barron directed a revolutionary rotoscoping blitheness music video which took six months to create, using professional person artists. The single was released in the US one month afterward the music video, and immediately appeared in the Billboard Hot 100[eight] and was a worldwide smash, reaching No. 1 in numerous countries.

AllMusic journalist Tim DiGravina described "Take On Me" equally "a new wave classic laced with rushing keyboards, made emotionally resonant thanks to Morten Harket's touching song delicacy."[1]

Composition [edit]

"Have On Me" is a synth-pop song that includes acoustic and electric guitars and keyboards,[11] [12] written at a very fast tempo of 169 beats per minute.[13] The lyrics are a plea for love[xiv] and constructed in a verse–chorus form with a bridge before the final chorus. The song is written in the central of A major with a chord progression of Bm7–E7–A–Dmaj7–C♯m7 in the verse, A–C♯m7/G♯–F♯m–D in the chorus, and C♯m–G–C♯m–G–Bm–E in the bridge. Harket demonstrates a vocal range of over two and a one-half octaves.[13] He sings the everyman pitch in the song, Atwo (the tonic), at the offset of the chorus, on the showtime syllable of the phrase "Accept On Me".[13] Equally the chorus progresses, Harket's vocalization hits ever higher notes, reaching a falsetto[11] [15] [16] and hit the song's highest note, Eastward5, (the ascendant) at the end.[13] Rolling Stone has thus noted the song equally "having one of the hardest-to-sing choruses in pop history".[7] A mix of a drum auto, the LinnDrum,[17] [18] audio-visual guitars, and electronic instrumentation serves equally the vocal'due south bankroll track.[xi]

Music videos [edit]

Starting time video [edit]

The starting time release of "Take On Me" in 1984 includes a completely dissimilar recording; this mix was featured in the showtime video, which shows the band singing with a bluish groundwork.

Second video [edit]

The second video, directed past film director Steve Barron, is the far more widely recognised video for the song. Information technology was filmed in 1985 at Kim'south Café (at present called Savoy Café) (corner of Wandsworth Route and Pensbury Place, London SW8), and on a sound stage in London.[19] The video used a pencil-sketch animation and live-action combination chosen rotoscoping, in which the live-action footage is traced using a frame-by-frame process to give the characters realistic movements.[20] [21] Approximately 3,000 frames were rotoscoped, which took xvi weeks to complete.[22] [23] The idea of the video was suggested by Warner Bros executive Jeff Ayeroff, who was pivotal in making "Have on Me" a globally recognised music striking.[24] The critical and commercial result was emphatic. In improver to an incalculably high view count from heavy rotation information technology received on MTV when it was originally released (too as other music television channels), the music video has received more than 1.3 billion views on YouTube and has received a 4K video restoration.[25]

The music video was remastered to 2160p (4K) in 2022 from the original 35mm moving picture and released on YouTube, while retaining its original URL and upload date of January 6, 2010.[26] On 17 Feb 2020, the music video reached one billion views on YouTube. Prior to that date, but four songs from the entire 20th century had reached that elusive mark ("November Rain" and "Sweetness Child o' Mine" by Guns Due north' Roses, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, and "Bohemian Rhapsody" past Queen) making "Accept On Me" the fifth video from that time period e'er to do so, and the offset Scandinavian act to achieve this.[27] [28] [29]

Plot [edit]

The video's main theme is a romantic fantasy narrative.[30] It begins with a montage of pencil drawings in a comic-book manner representing motorcycle sidecar racing, in which the hero (Morten Harket) is pursued by two opponents (Philip Jackson and Alfie Curtis). Information technology then cuts to a scene in a cafe, in which a immature woman (Bunty Bailey) is reading the comic volume. As the woman reads, the waitress brings her java and the bill. The comic's hero, after winning the race, seemingly winks at the woman from the page. His pencil-drawn hand suddenly reaches out of the comic volume, inviting the woman into it. Once inside, she, besides, appears in the pencil-drawn form as he sings to her and introduces her to his black-and-white globe which features a sort of looking-glass portal where people and objects wait real on one side and pencil-fatigued on the other.

Back in the cafe, the waitress returns to find the woman missing. Believing the client left without paying the bill, she angrily crumples and throws the adult female'due south comic volume into a bin. This causes the hero's 2 opposing racers to reappear as villains, 1 of them armed with a large pipe wrench. The racers smash the looking drinking glass with the pipe wrench, trapping the woman in the comic volume. The hero punches one of the thugs aside and retreats with the woman into a maze of newspaper. Arriving at a expressionless end, he tears a hole in the newspaper wall then that the woman tin escape as the menacing opposing racers shut in on him and they raise their pipe wrench to his face. The woman, now dorsum in the real earth and constitute lying beside the bin to the surprise of cafe guests and staff, retrieves the comic from the bin and runs abode where she attempts to smooth out the creases to learn what happens next.

The adjacent panel shows the hero, lying seemingly lifeless, and the woman begins to weep. Nonetheless, he then wakes upwards and tries to break out of his comic-volume frames. At the same time, his paradigm appears in the woman'due south hallway, seemingly torn betwixt real and comic form, hurling himself repeatedly left-and-right against the walls as he attempts to shatter his two-dimensional barrier. (This scene is largely patterned later a climactic scene in the 1980 film Altered States.[19]) He escapes from the comic book past becoming human and stands up. Smiling, the woman runs towards him.

The story is concluded in the opening of "The Sun Always Shines on T.V." music video.[31]
