The Blood That Moves the Body​a-ha

Released: May 3, 1988

Songwriter: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy

Producer: Alan Tarney

It's the way we feel
Tonight
As if it's all unreal
All right
My love
Won't you come back to
Our love
You know I'll react to

The blood that moves my body
Now covers the ground
The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the body

There's nowhere to go
Tonight
Lend some warmth to our cold
And lonely lives
Red stains
On 'Eyes of a blue dog'
My pains
Fade as the interiors fog

The blood that moves my body
Now colours the ground
The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the body

Not long ago
It hurt us so
A tremble through our lives
The love and care
The way we were
Now lost it's way at nights

It's the way we feel
Tonight

The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the body

Not long ago
It hurt us so
A tremble through our lives
The love and care
The way we were
Now lost it's way at nights

It's the way we feel
Tonight
Lend some warmth to
Our cold and lonely lives
My love
Won't you come back to
Our love
You know we'll react to

The blood that moved our bodies
Now covers the ground
Now covers the ground

Covers the ground
The blood that moves the body
Covers the ground
The blood that moves the body
Covers the ground
The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the body

​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.
