Sunny Mystery​a-ha

Released: June 12, 2009

Songwriter: Magne Furuholmen

Producer: Mark Saunders ​a-ha Erik Ljunggren Steve Osborne

You can run through every forest
You can sail on the seven seas
You can climb the highest mountain
To try and dissolve these memories

In case you never knew it
You can’t undo it

You can jump off the edge of the world
Hide out in some monastery
Lose your mind in meditation
And never put your mind at ease

You think you’re running to it
But you're wading through it
A sunny mystery

You think you’re running to it
But you're wading through it
A sunny mystery
A sunny mystery

Life is the dream that you wake up to
Dreams are the life from which you wake
Everybody makes the extra effort
Never knowing what to do

You thought you know the answer
Yeah, you know the score
It feels just like before

It’s a sunny mystery
That’s how it’s got to be
Because no one knows for sure
The outcome of this sunny mystery

​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.
