Don’t change me
I’m going to break if you try
Don’t change you
You know the tears I’m going to cry
And I sure will
Miss us when we’re gone

You’re the real meaning of the Sun
It shows you off to everyone
You’re the real meaning of the Sun
It shows you off to everyone
The real meaning
I want the real meaning

Don’t fix me
It breaks my heart to see you try
Don’t fix you
And leave me for some other guy
And I sure will
Miss us when we’re done

You’re the real meaning of the Sun
It shows you off to everyone
You’re the real meaning of the Sun
It shows you off to everyone

When I’m thinking about you fondly
Then I’m thinking about the only
Real meaning of the Sun

You’re the real meaning of the Sun
It shows you off to everyone
You’re the real meaning of the stars
It guides me to the place you are
The real meaning, yeah
I want the real meaning
The real meaning, mm
I want the real meaning

​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.
