MORTEN HARKET - A Gospel From A Heathen [unreleased / 1995][w/ CC lyrics] video free download

.:. the story behind "A Gospel From A Heathen" .:.

"In connection with the disc 'Wild Seed', Harket was on the promo tour in Brazil, and on Oct. 27 in 1995, he guested the radio show 'Transa Livre' at Transamerica FM. He played various tunes, including 'Hunting High And Low' and 'A Kind Of Christmas Card', and was interviewed. He got some intuitive to play a new song, which was called 'A Gospel From A Heathen' (some sites also referred it as 'Gospel From Heaven')."

"(However) The record company Warner dared not release it - 'Because, the words like 'fascist' and 'atheist' made them afraid of the reaction - even though it basically is a song about love', according to Harket."

"(This was) recorded at the radio studio where Harket visited in Brazil in 1995, He began playing it with the words 'I think we've had enough soft songs'."

- the original audio is available at: http://goo.gl/vLcnQU (with the title as 'Gospel from Heaven'...;o) )

- The melodies are (almost) the same as 'Fremmed her (Stranger here)' which is included in his 2nd sung-in-Norwegian solo album 'Vogts Villa' (1996)

- the pictures used on this slideshow are from the booklet attached to "Vogts Villa" album.

- Since the original audio had radio's station ID during song's introduction, I removed it, then picked up a riff part and made it repeat twice. I hope my edit doesn't bother you.
