‘Minor Earth Major Sky’ by a-ha (Song, Video)

Song Intro:

The special effects of this video made some fans question if the real lunar landing had ever occurred – in jest!

This video was filmed in an abandoned mine in Prague, Czech Republic.

The suits worn by a-ha in this video were reproductions of real lunar suits. They had been originally used in the movie “Apollo 13.”

The theme of this video is based in reality; Paul and Magne have always complained that Morten is late to every meeting and concert and interview. In this video they thought it would be fun to leave him behind.

Lyrics:

I can’t see me in this empty place
Just another lonely face
I can’t see me here in outer space
It’s so hard to leave a trace

And I try and I try and I try
But it never comes out right
Yes, I try and I try and I try
But I never get it right

It’s a
Minor earth, major sky
Minor earth, major sky

I can’t see me in this lonely town
Not a friendly face around
Can you hear me when I speak out loud
Hear my voice above the crowd

And I try and I try and I try
But it never comes out right
Yes, I try and I try and I try
But I never get it right

It’s a
Minor earth, major sky
Minor earth, major sky
Minor earth, major sky
Minor earth, major sky
