A-há (usually stylised as a-ha; Norwegian
pronunciation: [ɑˈhɑː]) is a Norwegian synth-pop band formed in Oslo in 1982. Founded by Paul
Waaktaar-Savoy (guitars), Magne Furuholmen (keyboards, guitars), and Morten
Harket (vocals), the band rose to fame
during the mid-1980s.
A-ha achieved their biggest success with
their debut álbum Hunting
High and Low in 1985. That album peaked at number
one in their native country Norway, number 2 in the UK, and number 15 on the US
Billboard album chart; yielded two international number-one singles: "Take On Me"
and "The Sun Always Shines on T.V.";
and earned the band a Grammy Award nomination as Best New Artist. In the UK, Hunting High and Low continued
its chart success into the following year, becoming one of the best-selling
albums of 1986. The band released studio albums in 1986, 1988, and 1990, with
single hits including "Hunting High and Low", "The Living Daylights", "Stay on These Roads", and "Crying
in the Rain". In 1994, after their
fifth studio album, Memorial Beach (1993), failed to achieve the commercial success of their previous
albums, the band went on hiatus.
Following a performance at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in 1998, A-ha
recorded their sixth album, 2000's Minor
Earth Major Sky, which was another number-one
album in Norway and Germany. This album was followed by Lifelines (2002); Analogue (2005), which was certified Silver in the UK; and Foot
of the Mountain (2009), which was certified
Silver in the UK and reached the Top Five 5 in many European countries.
On 15 October 2009, the band announced they
would split after the 2010 worldwide Ending on a High Note Tour. Thousands
of fans from at least 40 different countries on six continents congregated to
see A-ha for the last leg of the tour.
On 4 December 2014, A-ha officially announced
its participation at Rock in Rio 2015,
which celebrated 30 years for both the band and the event. In 2015, it was
announced that A-ha would re-unite and their tenth studio album, Cast in Steel,
was released on 4 September 2015, and the band toured in support of the album.
The band has released ten studio albums,
several compilations and four live albums. In less than a year, during 2010,
the band earned an estimated 500 million Norwegian kroner from concert tickets,
merchandise and the release of a greatest hits album, making them one of the
40–50 highest-grossing bands in the world. The band were listed in the Guinness
World Records book for having the biggest-paying
rock concert attendance; they drew an audience of 198,000 at Maracanã
Stadium during Rock in Rio festival. Their exact sale figures are somewhat controversial;
according to their label, Rhino
Entertainment, they have sold 55 million
records, but other sources assert that they have sold more than 100 million
units, albums and singles combined.
I’ll
never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting in 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
Only heartaches remain
I’ll do my crying in the rain
Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
Since we’re not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you’ll never see
Someday, when my crying is 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
Since we’re not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you’ll never see
Someday when my crying is done
I’m gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool but till then, darling, you 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
The way my broken heart is hurting in 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
Only heartaches remain
I’ll do my crying in the rain
Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
Since we’re not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you’ll never see
Someday, when my crying is 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
Since we’re not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you’ll never see
Someday when my crying is done
I’m gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool but till then, darling, you 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
