Time and Again​a-ha

Released: April 2, 2002

Songwriter: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy

Producer: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy

The sun brought me
The moon caught me
The wind fought me
The rain got me

The road sent me
For years bent me
The stars overwhelmed me
Time and again

But now I can't see the stars
A star is a thing I can't see
And now I don't feel the same
To feel is a thing that can't be

Earth crushed me
Fame brushed me
Streets hushed me
As life touched me

Time placed me
Events dazed me
Love saved me
Now and again

But now there can be no love
Love is a thing that can't be
And now there can be no trust
Trust is a thing I can't see

But now there can be no love
Love is a thing that can't be
And now I can't be so strong
Strong is a thing I can't be

Be
(Time and again)
(Time and again)
The sun brought me

​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.
