(Oranges on apple trees)
(Bugs that mate with) ah-ha (bumblebees) yeah
(Oranges on apple trees) oh

Water comes and water goes
Where it ends up no one really knows
Water rises, water falls
Where it comes from no one knows for sure
It seeps from every pore

We have seen the rain before
Not like this, it's flooding every shore
People come and people go
I can hear their laughter through the door
But no one's keeping score

(Oranges on apple trees)
(Bugs that mate with bumblebees)
One big happy family (one big happy family)
Endless possibilities, yeah, yeah
(Oranges and apple trees) and more

I see your face in front of me
You believed what no one else could see
I feel it deep inside of me
Everything we love shall be released
And everyone will see

Yeah
(Oranges on apple trees) for sure

I used to be the only one
Not now since you've come
You and I have seen the signs
That's why we're running blind
We're running blind
That's why

(Oranges on apple trees)
(Birds that mate with bumblebees) yeah
(Endless possibilities) now

(Oranges on apple trees)
(All the things that we can see) yeah, yeah
(Multi-gender wannabes)

(Oranges on apple trees)
(Bugs that mate with bumblebees)
One big happy family
Endless possibilities, oh, yeah, yeah
(Oranges on apple trees (for sure)

​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.
