''Memorial Beach'' is the fifth album by the Norwegian band A-ha, released in 1993. The album was recorded primarily at Prince's Paisley Park studios outside Minneapolis in the U.S. ''Memorial Beach'' featured three UK Top 50 singles for the band, "Move to Memphis" (released as a single in 1991, almost two years before the album), "Dark is the Night" and "Angel in the Snow". While the album did not chart on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 and would be the band's last to be released there, the single "Dark Is the Night" peaked at #11 on the ''Billboard'' Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart,〔(Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles )〕 their last U.S. charting to date. "Angel in the Snow" was written by Pål Waaktaar for his bride, Lauren, as a wedding gift. Recording the album was, according to Morten Harket, "A rather dark and heavy period for the band", although Magne Furuholmen has said, "I dig ''Memorial Beach'', and 'Dark is the Night for All' is the high point, the best thing on the disc." JD and Jevetta Steele from the American gospel group The Steeles contribute backing vocals on the songs "Move to Memphis" and "Lie Down in Darkness" as does the singer Kathy Wilson. French actress Béatrice Dalle appears in the music video for the song "Move to Memphis". Some lyrics from "Locust" were reused on the 2004 Savoy single "Whalebone". ==Track listing== All tracks written by Pål Waaktaar unless noted otherwise: #"Dark Is the Night for All" – 3:46 #"Move to Memphis" – 4:22 (Pål Waaktaar/Magne Furuholmen) #"Cold as Stone" – 8:19 #"Angel in the Snow" – 4:13 #"Locust" – 5:09 #"Lie Down in Darkness" – 4:32 #"How Sweet It Was" – 6:00 #"Lamb to the Slaughter" – 4:20 (Magne Furuholmen) #"Between Your Mama and Yourself" – 4:16 #"Memorial Beach" – 4:36 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Memorial Beach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
