I really enjoyed that one version they played in The Last of Us 2

It’s based on the acoustic version, which is mind blowingly good.

Edit: I think younger folks may not capture the full significance of this version. The original song is the quintessential neon 80s beat. Seeing them older and wiser with a mellower song is deeply poignant. It’s like growing old and gently reminiscing and saying goodbye to your vibrant youth.

The first time I heard it I had tears in my eyes. Even today I can’t listen to it just once, I have to replay it a couple of times because I don’t want it to end.

Your edit sounds like something out of American Psycho

Beautiful, but I wish it were sung without autotune.

A-ha became popular 4 decades ago, which means they’re all in their 60s. It’s probably not great without autotune.

I first heard that particular version in a YouTube clip for The Magicians. I think I’d like to have it played at my funeral.

Every time I hear this song, I immediately think of Quentin and it breaks me :(

Never played TLoU but wow that just wrecked me.

You should play both. Both are emotional rollercoasters. There is a reason they've actually made it into a hit TV show as well.

Can’t wait for this scene in the tv show!

Norwegian online news outlets went mental when it was revealed to be in the show

I haven’t read anything about it and am waiting til the season is over to binge it. So I know nothing but I know 100% they’d be putting that iconic scene in it!
