Like light refracted through cathedral glass, our cover of Take On Me by a-ha floats on whimsical synths, angelic harmonies, and soaring vocals.

Hi 👋🏼 we’re King Vagabond—and this is our cinematic reimagining of Take On Me by a-ha.
Inspired by Ellie’s unforgettable Take On Me cover in The Last of Us 2, we wanted to honor that same intimacy while expanding the song into a larger, more ethereal soundscape—something that lives between 80s nostalgia and epic fantasy.

This song has always meant a lot to us—not just as an iconic 80s synth pop anthem, but as a deep reflection of the human experience.

It explores that emotional tension so many of us know too well: the quiet doubt, the inner friction… always pulled against the part of ourselves whispering, “Life is short—go for it.”

Covering Take On Me was our way of answering that call. A proclamation to the universe that we’re ready to receive abundance. That we’re here to show up fully—as artists, dreamers, and co-creators of our world.

So whether you found us from our TikTok cover of Take of Me or by searching for a Take On Me A-ha cover on YouTube—it's nice to meet you! This is our Take On Me music video inspired by The Last of Us and our signature fantasy world building, or a new take that blends 80s synth music with cinematic, fantasy-driven emotion—we’re glad you’re here.

AHA TAKE ON ME LYRICS
We're talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today is another day to find you
Shyin' away
Oh, I'll be comin' for your love, okay
Take on me
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumblin' away
Slowly learnin' that life is okay
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
All the things that you say, yeah
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shyin' away
I'll be comin' for you anyway
Take on me
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day
(Take on me)
(Take on me)
(Take me on)
(Take on me)
I'll be gone
(Take on me)
In a day
(Take me on)
(Take on me)
(Take on me)
(Take on me)
(Take me on)
(Take on me)
