Big in Japan by Ane Brun
“#Covers #Acousticjam So...huge Ane Brun fan...she is fantastic.... New album coming out September 4th.... I can't wait. http://anebrun.com/ Anyway, going to do covers for a bit here and as always I will ask...better than the original? I love how she takes the song and changes it completely...Almost sounds like a different song. Here is the original by Alphaville https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tl6u2NASUzU”

Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Originally by Alphaville, loved this version since BBC used it at the end of Japanese Grand Prix in 2011
Another gentle song, great for winding down after a hard day. I remember buying this song released by a group called Alphaville in 1984. And I sort of came across this version by accident! :)

Some 80's songs are great, once you strip off the synthesizers!
A cover of Alphaville's stereotypically 80's song Big in Japan by Norwegian folk singer/songwriter Ane Brun. Gone are the horrible synth sounds, replaced instead by a single acoustic guitar and a hauntingly beautiful voice. If you can listen to this and not feel anything then you are probably dead inside.
