Producer: Peter Kvint Magne Furuholmen

[Verse 1]
You walked a mile on broken glass
Through glowing coals you were a path
The words on your tongue a mechanical song
Your face is lined with disappointment
Oh white matter mind, what have you got to say?
Reasons combine to force you away

[Chorus]
You’re moving on
You solved the problem
And who can blame you
You’re safe in here
Inside your castle
In mythomania, mythomania

[Verse 2]
Cold crescent moon on a red cross
Its happening soon it's coming for us
Oh white matter mind, what is there left to say?
Reasons combined to force you away

[Hook]
No telephone
No television
No news that drain you
You’re safer here
More atmosphere
In mythomania (x3)

[Outro]
You caught belief
Like some disease
No words can save you
Cause you’re all along
You’re on your own
In mythomania

​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.
