Song of the Day: "Take on Me" by A-ha

I have decided that the members of the band A-ha—with a special shout out to lead singer Morten Harket—deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. Hear me out. 

What is the very opposite of war? Peace which, to me, is a near synonym to happiness. I have yet to hear A-ha's "Take On Me" without feeling happier. I have yet to meet a contemporary who does not feel happier when they hear "Take On Me." I have yet to meet a millennial who dislikes it or a child who doesn't get the allure of that ethereal voice, somehow every-rising above what is arguably the best synth riff ever devised.
