Now that my mind is back on a-ha for just a minute I got reminded of my holidays listening to my favourites bands again (believe it or not, I rarely listen to Keane and A-ha anymore!)
While driving in the car and listening to this one a few times it dawned on me what an amazingly complex song Memorial Beach is. It's simple if you first listen to it, but if you listen closely and take it apart it has just the right amount of everything that the guys could handle: whispering drums, elegant piano, an amaaaazing bass, synths, a bluesy electric guitar wandering through the entire song. And let's not forget the vocals, it would fit Tom's voice like a glove. It's not just because it's a-ha, this would really be an awesome addition to their cover collection because it's totally different to what they've done so far, yet it's right up their alley, IMHO.
Anyway, long story short.. I would LOVE to hear a Keane rendition of this song.

(It's hard to find online, there's
this tho. The only alternative is a Baywatch fragment.. how corny eh?
