Waiting for Her​a-ha

Released: October 27, 1990

Songwriter: Pål Waaktaar-Savoy Magne Furuholmen

Producer: Ian Stanley

Waiting for her
That's all I ever do
Waiting for her

So why didn't I
Take the measures justified

Our love has always been the same
She comes then goes away again
Oh yeah

She used to say
We never had the breaks we should've had
Coming our way

But why didn't I
Take the time and put it right

Our love has always been the same
She leaves me standing out in the rain
Oh yeah

Send her my love
She's all I'm thinking of
Oh yeah
I'm telling you

We never had the breaks we should've had
Coming our way

And when she's sleeping by my side
Eyes closed, all knowledge trapped inside
Oh yeah

So why didn't I
Take the measures justified

Send her my love
She's all I'm thinking of
Oh yeah
I'm telling you

​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.
