Days On End​a-ha

Songwriter: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy Morten Harket Magne Furuholmen

Do know why winter's such a cold and lonely place?
If you do, breathe it in to my bleached faces
Falling far, the sheets of my bed disappear
I hear the clock, strikes up prettily at the hours
I wear the path deeper following you
Girl, I knew comes tired home from another working day
Cooks a meal, puts the stove on and sees the snow
Falling far, a white painted sky drifting by
And here I come in through the door
I say hello and very little more
Did she love me any more?
Do you know why winter's such a cold and lonely place?
I'm laughing at the weather
I'm sure it reminded me of something
It took me years and years to forget
Do you love me any more?

​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.
