A Fine Blue Line​a-ha

Released: November 4, 2005

Songwriter: Magne Furuholmen

Producer: Martin Terefe

Take a look and see what’s become of me
Remember how it used to be
People that we’d meet were falling at your feet
You didn’t even see it

Well, time marches on ahead, enough said
There’s only one way through it
Time marches on ahead, one day we’ll see it
How there’s a fine blue line running through it

We read each other’s books, we gave each other looks
Like we couldn’t trust ourselves and we knew it
So tell me where you’ve been and I’ll show you where you’re going
You can shout, you can scream, your way through it

Well, time rushes on ahead, enough said
That’s just the way we blew it
Time marches on ahead, one day you’ll see it
Love is a fine blue line
Time races on ahead, enough said
That’s just the way we blew it
Time marches on ahead, one day you’ll see it
Love is the fine blue line running through it, running through it

​a-ha

A-ha is a Norweigian synth pop group formed in 1982. All ten of their studio albums have either reached #1 or #2 in Norway – the first three also reaching the top 10 in several countries across Europe – with a total of over 35 million sold worldwide. They became a ‘teen pin-up band’ and were followed by screaming, enthusiastic fans. In 2012, all three members were appointed to knighthood in Norway for their contributions to music.

Frontman Morten Harket was lured away from the blues/soul group Soldier Blue in 1982 by keyboardist Magne Furuholmen to join his band with guitarist Paul Waaktaar. When Harket saw a song in Waaktaar’s notebook that was going to be titled either “a-ha” or “A-hem”, he suggested naming the band “a-ha”.

A year later, the band released their debut single “Take On Me” in 1984 to huge success in Norway. However, when the song was re-recorded and re-released alongside their debut album Hunting High And Low in the summer of 1985 it achieved massive international success, reaching #1 in eleven countries. Its success was definitely aided by its groundbreaking, award-winning music video of pencil-sketch animation combined with live-action shots.
