Did Anyone Approach You?​a-ha

Released: April 2, 2002

Songwriter: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy

Producer: Tore Johansson

You never look up, you never look back
You never say anything based on fact
You've got issues going way back
You never say hi, you never say much
You never make an effort to stay in touch
I got this feeling something happened here

Something happened here

Did anybody feel you?
Did anybody deal you?
Did anybody make you do some things now?
Did anyone approach you?
Did anybody coach you?
Did anybody tell you what to say now?

Hopeless
It's not hopeless
Doubtful
But not hopeless at all

You never looked up, you never look back
You never did anything in between
Are things black and white with you?
You never believe, you never belong
You never made milestones to call your own
I got this feeling something happened here

Something happened here

Did anybody hide you?
Did anybody fight you?
Did anyone decide to do some harm now?
Did anybody read you?
Did anybody bleed you?
Did anybody feed you lots of junk now?

Hopeless
It's not hopeless
Doubtful
But not hopeless

Hopeless
It's not hopeless
Doubtful
But not hopeless at all
Hopeless
It's not hopeless
Doubtful
But not hopeless at all

Something happened here
Something happened here

​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.
