Shadowside​a-ha

Released: June 12, 2009

Songwriter: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy

Producer: Roland Spremberg

The shadowside you say I have
Is making everything go bad
You say I don’t care enough
For all the things that I have got

But I do
And I will

I don’t want to see myself descend
Into the shadowside again
If you ever let me go again
In the shadowside I’ll end

The shadowside where I go
I’m never where I’m needed so
You say I don’t give enough
That I don’t care for all I’ve got

But I do
And I will

I don’t want to let myself descend
Into the shadowside again
If you’re letting go of me again
In the shadowside

But I do
And I will
Yes, I will

I don’t want to let myself descend
Into the shadowside again
If you’re letting go of me again
In the shadowside I’ll end

In the shadowside I’ll end

​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.
