Cannot Hide​a-ha

Released: April 2, 2002

Songwriter: Ole Sverre-Olsen Martin Landquist Morten Harket

Producer: Martin Landquist

Can you see me, baby
Standing in the light?
I feel your cat’s eyes on me
Phosphor in the night

I’ll move inside
Got those eyes
Something’s burning, baby, that’s all right
You and I are here tonight

Meet me on the other side
(‘Cause you can do me right)
Take me where I cannot hide
(‘Cause you can do me right)
Meet me on the other side

You don’t know me, girl
I’m faceless in the crowd
The things I could show you, babe
Come on, come on to my cloud

I'm, I’m alive
And tonight something’s falling, babe, you and I
Or the sky
I can see it, it's in your eyes

Meet me on the other side
(‘Cause you can do me right)
Take me where I cannot hide
(‘Cause you can do me right)
You need, baby, open wide
(‘Cause you can do me right) tonight
Take me to the other side
(‘Cause you can do me right) cannot hide
I speak French today, baby
(‘Cause you can do me right)
(‘Cause you can do me right)
Meet me on the other side
(‘Cause you can do me right)
Take me where I cannot hide
(‘Cause you can do me right)
Yeah

​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.
