I Wish I Cared​a-ha

Released: April 14, 2000

Songwriter: Magne Furuholmen

Producer: Kjetil Bjerkestrand ​a-ha Roland Spremberg

To hold me close or set me free
To trust completely or let it be
You don't know my destiny
You can't see what I can see

Hey, I wish I cared
Hey, I wish I cared

To love me truly or let me go
In between I don't want to know
This is how it has to be
No more us and no more we

Hey, I wish I cared
Hey, I wish I cared

Once again on the station
See your face in a crowd
Comes again the sensation
You can't hear yourself think
With their voices inside your head

Hey, I wish I cared
Hey, I wish I cared
I wish I cared
Yes, I really do
I wish I cared
Hey
I wish I cared
Yes, I really do
I wish I cared
Hey
I wish I cared
I wish I cared
Hey

​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.
