She’s Humming A Tune​a-ha

Released: September 4, 2015

Songwriter: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy

Producer: John O’Mahony Pål Waaktaar-Savoy Erik Ljunggren

[Verse 1]
She’s humming a tune
To keep herself from thinking
About all that she’s facing
But her mind is racing
Over and over again

[Verse 2]
And I don’t suppose she knows
Everything that’s bound to happen
How and where the story goes
And I don’t why I care
She’s up tight, not right
How could it matter to me

[Verse 3]
She’s humming a tune
To keep herself from straying
When everything’s swaying
And decisions are weighing
Ever so hard on her mind

[Verse 4]
And I don’t suppose she knows
Everything that’s bound to happen
How and where the story goes
And I don’t know if it just
I’m bummed out, no doubt
What does it matter to me

[Outro]
She’s up tight, not right
How could it matter to me
And I don’t suppose she knows
She’s up tight, not right
How could it matter to me

​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.
