Soft Rains of April (Piano Version)​a-ha

Released: July 6, 2010

Songwriter: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy

(?)
Pål: But when you start, you mustn't be talking when he starts playing the piano
Morten: Alright
Magne: That's okay, don't worry about that
Morten: He wants that too? Haha, okay

The soft rains of April are over
The soft rains of April are over
Over

Anybody home now?
I am on the phone now, please...
And the soft rains of April are over

The ferry across the water to Dover
Over

Anybody home now?
I am on the phone and I'd like to come back
Is it raining back home?
I am so alone
Just got up today
And my thoughts are miles away
With you

Well, they gave me four years
Three more to go
Keep writing letters
Time's passing so slow
Time's passing so slow

The soft rains of April are over
Over

​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.
