Rolling Thunder​a-ha

Released: October 27, 1990

Songwriter: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy Magne Furuholmen

Producer: Chris Neil

It's the weight below us
And our fate before us
Like a rolling thunder
Rolling up from under
Don't ever leave me this way
I know it's getting harder but hey
If your world should crumble, yeah
And the rain gets in
Running through your skin
Soaking you outside in

The rain, see it falling
But I don't know how long it will be
Until the storm is over
But I'll wait, I will

Like the years of silence
To the growing violence
Like a rolling thunder
Rolling up from under
Don't ever leave me this way
Wait a little longer, yeah, stay
Through the night I tumble, yeah
When the rain comes in
I will shed my skin
Losing it from within

See the rain, it's falling
But I won't be leaving your side
Until all is over
But I'll wait, I will

So many lifetimes
You've been waiting for it
All through the good times
When you tried to ignore it
You hesitate
It's come too late
You hear the sound
Of when wheels engage

When the rain comes in
I will shed my skin
Losing it from within

The rain keeps falling
But I won't be leaving your side
Until all is over
But I'll wait, I will

But I don't know how long it will be
Until the storm is over
But I'll wait, I will

All is over
But I'll wait, I will

​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.
