Hunting High and Low is the debut studio album by Norwegian new wave
band A-ha.
Released on 1 June 1985 by Warner Bros.

huge commercial success selling more than 7.8 million units worldwide, peaking
at number 15 on the US Billboard 200 and reaching high positions on charts worldwide. The album was
recorded at Eel Pie Studios in Twickenham, produced by Tony Mansfield, John Ratcliff and Alan Tarney.
In all, five singles from the album were
released, though not all were released internationally: "Take On Me", "Love Is Reason", "The Sun

a Grammy.
As part of a re-release of their first two
albums, Hunting High and Low was expanded and remastered in 2010.
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 I'll be stumbling anyway
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 to 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.
