If you grow up listening to 80s pop music, A-HA would be a familiar name. Take on Me is easily one of those memorable MTV moments. Manhattan Skyline here is their less catchy take on pop fodder with a generous serving of melancholy.
Fast forward 2020, some 30+ years later, Manhattan Skyline re-surfaces as a cover by, of all people, Ihsahn. It might be an attempt to keep the Norwegian flag flying. It's an interesting metal/ prog slant but the guitar tones here are not my thing; lacking bottom end.
