Anyone else sing along to this song and then just give up on the high notes?
I try every time.
I fail miserably every time.
Then I burst out in laughter at myself.
I usually compensate for the fact that I cannot go higher by going louder instead.
Morten Harket himself does that nowadays. He’s still an incredibly skilled singer, but his voice simply doesn’t have the same range anymore. When performing this song now he usually goes down an octave for “In a day or two”

I absolutely love the acoustic version of this song (but I love this version, too).

Thank you for linking, this version is beautiful!
I agree with the comment about the acoustic rendition of the song hitting differently, it truly does.
