“Take me on / I’ll be gone in a day or two”
Regarded as one of the most memorable music videos ever, ‘Take On Me’ didn’t just introduce us to new video techniques, but is also one of the most memorable songs of all time. I couldn’t wait to arrange this amazing piece for orchestra, and so here it is.
This song by Aha is one of only a handful of others I couldn’t wait to do. The video is absolutely gorgeous, and “Take On Me” has lyrics that inspire.
I kept thinking about the words “I’ll be gone in a day or two”, and how this composition, to me, is about wanting something, and going after it. To go through life, it’s important to remember the words “one day we’ll all be dead” – because it’s that mindset that makes you want something, and go after it. Dreams are meant to be chased, and lived. We all have our own purpose in life, and they are things that we should ‘take on’ and fight for them
The thought that things are worth having and chasing after makes sense when you consider that we may all be gone in a day or two. Its the only thing that is constant. The more things change the more they stay the same, because one thing is for certain – that if it scares you, then do it. Because we’re not here forever, and if you’re passionate about something, then it’s worth fighting for.
