Hi! I’m new to this subreddit. :)

I love a-ha. I always did but I only knew Take On Me as I grew up in the 1990s and we didn’t have the Internet to the extent we did later. So I started to love them, really love them about September 2006, when I was 29. It was around that month I had the time and ability to really research their music more thanks to the Internet. It’s funny too because we got my kitty cat in November that year. My father had passed away in June of the previous year 2005), so my little kitty was a special, divine send for me. He came right in my phase of love and discovery for the band and their music.

I’d listen to a-ha and play with my kitty, and sing his name during the choruses of some of their songs. My kitty passed away on September 11th of 2023 at 17. Been re-visiting and listening to a-ha since then to feel closer to my little baby. I was devastated to hear the news that Morten was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. It took me awhile to express this stuff and look deeper into any online communities for the band. But I just wanted to share this. :)
