Solace​a-ha

Released: April 2, 2002

Songwriter: Magne Furuholmen

Producer: Ian Caple

Some sign of forgiveness
Some form of relief
Is all that she asks for
Is all that she needs

She waits for the day when
She feels more at ease
Some time to be cared for
Some time left in peace

Cold stars of the future
Burned bright in the past
(These) these moments of solace
They won't last
They don't last

You're wasting the moment
Biding your time
No one got ahead
Standing in line

So something is over
Before it's begun
So close you can taste it
But now it is gone

Cold stars of the future
Burned bright in the past
(These) these moments of solace
They don't last
They cannot last

You're hoping for solace
Well, just look around
Everyone here is
Standing in line

Solace

​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.
