Stay On These Roads

Released

Following their James Bond theme song “The Living Daylights,” another in the string of UK and European hits the band had regularly accrued over the previous years, a-ha produced another massive hit album in the form of Stay On These Roads, another collection of beautifully produced, crystalline pop-rock of the 80s. The title track was its own success, another one of their big, sweeping ballads, while “The Blood That Moves The Body” almost sounded like even more of a James Bond theme, particularly with its dramatic midsong orchestral break.
