Summary:
“It's no better to be safe than sorry”. Inspired by the A-ha song “Take on Me”

The song “Take on Me” topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts in October 1985. It is a synth-pop high energy song that takes the listener on an adventure, as also portrayed by the very creative music video released at the time. The 2017 MTV unplugged version of the song is an emotionally charged reinterpretation of the song. The lyrics of both versions are identical.

feelings…
flow on a stream of emotion
unto an open sea
navigating this nebulous ocean

excitement…
found in the upbeat of the tune
melodically safe
carefree, we’re surfing it soon

solemn…
in the undercurrent of the song
melodically sorrowful
where sullen thoughts do belong

tempo…
deciding which side of the coin
when words are the same
the melody knows where you’re going

interpretation…
perhaps it’s thought evoking
regardlessly so
undeniably emotionally provoking
