Featuring: Ingrid Helene Håvik

Songwriter: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy

[Verse 1: Ingrid Helene Håvik and Morten Harket]
I reached inside myself and found
Nothing there to ease the pressure of my ever-worrying mind, oh
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks the mirror's sending me these days, oh

[Chorus: Ingrid and Morten]
Touch me, how can it be?
Believe me, the sun always shines on TV
Hold me close to your heart
Touch me, give all your love to me

[Verse 2: Morten and Ingrid]
Please don't ask me to defend
The shameful lowlands of the way I'm drifting gloomily through time, oh yeah
I reached inside myself today
Thinking there's got to be some way to keep my troubles distant, oh

[Chorus: Ingrid and Morten]
Touch me, how can it be?
Believe me, the sun always shines on TV
Hold me close to your heart
Touch me, give all your love to me

[Outro: Morten and Ingrid]
Hold me close to your heart
Touch me, give all your love to me
Your love to me

[Morten]
Ingrid, everybody! Alright, here's another new song

​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.
