Ένα από τα teenage συγκροτήματα που εμφανίστηκαν τότε ήταν και οι A-HA. Τρεις νέοι από τη Νορβηγία ξεκίνησαν με όνειρα και, αν και η αρχή ήταν δύσκολη, αφού το ντεμπούτο τους "Take on me" που σήμερα θεωρείται κορυφαίο και κλασσικό, εκείνη την εποχή δεν έκανε αρκετές πωλήσεις κάποια στιγμή ήρθε η πολυαναμενόμενη αναγνώριση. Πολλά κοριτσάκια σίγουρα έτρεχαν πίσω τους όταν η φήμη τους μεγάλωσε κι άρχισαν οι επιτυχίες να διαδέχονται η μία την άλλη.
Σήμερα θέλω να ανεβάσω στο blog μου μερικά από τα πιο αγαπημένα μου video τους, γιατί το λιγότερο που μπορώ να πω γι' αυτούς είναι πως τα τραγούδια τους είναι ΤΕΛΕΙΑ!! Ακούστε τα λοιπόν δυνατά!
TAKE ON ME
(1985)
We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh the things that you say
Is it life or
Just a play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to
remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES ON TV
(1985)
Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on T.V
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me...
I Reached inside myself
And found nothing there
To ease the pressure of
My ever worrying mind
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks
The mirror's sending me
These Days
Please don't ask me to defend
The shamefull lowlands
Of the way I'm drifting
Gloomily through time
I reached inside myself today
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant
Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
HUNTING HIGH AND LOW
(1985)
Here I am
And within the reach of my hands
She sounds asleep and she's sweeter now
Than the wildest dream could have seen her
And I Watch her slipping away
Though I know I'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to lengths I'll go
To find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart
Next to mine
She's the sweetest love I could find
So I guess I'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
High and Low
High
Do you know what it means to love you...
I'm hunting high and low
And now she's telling me she's got to
go away
I'll always be hunting high and low
Hungry for you
Watch me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and
low
THERE'S NEVER A FOREVER THING
(1988)
Dearest...
Close your eyes now
Don't you cry
It's all right
Lie back
Leave the lights on
It's all right, dear
I'll be here through the night
With you till the first signs of light
Say the word and I'll come tonight
It's all right now
Don't you cry now
Hush...
Wipe your tears away
There's never a forever thing
All through the night
I'll try so hard to be there somehow
With you till the first signs of light
Say the word and I'll come
Tonight
Darling, don't you
Cry
CRYING IN THE RAIN
(1990)
I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain
If I wait for stormy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain
Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
But since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see
Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
SUMMER MOVED ON
(2000)
Summer moved on
And the way it goes
You can't tag along
Honey moved out
And the way it went
Leaves no doubt
Moments will pass
In the morning light
I found out
Seasons can't last
And there's one thing
Left to ask
Stay, don't just walk away
And leave me another day
A day just like today
With nobody else around
Friendships move on
Until the day
You can't get along
Handshakes unfold
And the way it goes
No one knows
Moments will pass
In the morning light
I found out
Seasons can't last
So there's just one thing
Left to ask
Stay, don't just walk away
And leave me another day
A day just like today
Stay, don't just walk away
With nobody else around
Seasons can't last
And there's just one thing
Left to ask
Stay, don't just walk away
And leave me another day
A day just like today
Stay, don't just walk away
With nobody else around
Summer moved on
EARLY MORNING (live 2001) (1990)
[Καλά αυτός o Morten Harket (τραγουδιστής)
ακόμα και στα 40 του ήταν ΘΕΟΣ! Ουάου!!
Κι έχει και από τις πιο sexy φωνές ever...]
Early morning
Eight o'clock precise
I see the lonely August sun arise
Say you know
You will
Move me like you do
Out on the fields...
I'm waiting the whole night through
Early morning, early morning, yeah
Ran the whole way
Down to the tracks
Through the doorway
Then a last look back
Say you know
You will
Save me like you do
Out on the fields...
I've waited the whole night through
Early morning, early morning, yeah
I climbed all the stairways
To find the rooftop clear
Got the shotgun lying with me here
Say you know
You will
Move me like you do
Out on the fields...
You know how it feels, yeah
Early morning, early morning, yeah
Early morning
Eight o'clock precise
ANALOGUE
(2005)
Come back, my darling one
I'm calling on you
The road ahead is long
And I must warn you
I wonder
Where did she go?
If I failed you
I tell you right now
All I want you to know; I love you
All I need is the time to show you
Come back, my fallen son
Don't let them fool you
Cos when the day is done
They'll never move you
Lay down your senseless pride
(Got more than you)
Put out your mournful tones
I tell you right now
All I want you to know; I love you
All I need is the time to show you how I feel
Feel
(Lay down your senseless pride
You travelled once too often, yeah)
I tell you right now
All I want you to know; I love you
All I need is the time to show you how I feel
All I want you to know I love you
All I need is the time to show you how I feel
(Come back, my analogue
I hardly knew ya
the high end sloping off
a thing of beauty
take hold, my little ones
my minor key sonatas
show forth your looping grace
no one here can take your place)
