a-ha


Actually the first and only band I've ever been a hardcore fan of. Wondering why, I guess it's the feeling in their songs. Since I heard the first piece, which happened to be "Take On Me" with the beautiful cartoon video, I've just loved the atmosphere their songs create. And a-ha too grew up, their style changed over the years, and at first I was disappointed they lost the eighties' tunes with the new albums. But I quickly discovered that they had changed for good, in fact, now I come to identify much stronger with the texts. Funny, in the past they have often helped me when I was feeling alone or/and hopeless, and they have been with me when I was happy, too!

Oh, and when I was young I just had deep respect for Morten Harket for having such a beautiful, moving voice and making the best out of it; and of course I took notice of him looking quite attractive - hell, how innocent I was. I always despised the people in my class for just loving the looks of some boy band's members (no! not *those* members, you dirty old wrench!). But now I admit: since I have seen Mr. Harket on stage at the Lifelines Tour 2002 (?), I realized that this is one sexy piece of man-flesh, and from the way he moves I can tell he knows it oh so well! This man keeps his body in good shape, and in tight fitting shirts, luckily for all women and gay men... Can I have those top buttons opened a bit, please? Yesss - he knows exactly how to bring the sweat to a spectator's forehead just by dressing up! Jeez, this man can move gracefully!!! Actually it's enough if he just *stands* and the way he holds his arm makes me swoon, because he's just radiating sexyness! I swear it's evaporating out of his pores!
...hold on a second... where's the tour dvd the promo people promised??? I'm still waiting!

Yeah, enough of that now, but I decided to quote a song, which is none of my favourites because there's that woman singing with him and I don't like the duo too much, but since the text is worthy and comforting me right now, well, here it is.

"Turn your lights down"

turn the lights on, the night is too long
keep yourself warm, i'm coming home
i cannot help you, you yourself must see
decide now what you want to be
turn the lights down, the lights are too strong
i'm coming home

when your down and out, just hold on
realize that nothing lasts long
we must believe the things we can not see
everythings all right with me
turn the lights down, the lights are too strong
i'm coming home

i just want to sleep by your side
it makes me feel so alive
i just want to sleep for a while

turn around the night is still young
realize that things can go wrong --> [but he sings: keep your lights on, I'm coming home]
you must decide now where you want to be
your the one who said to me:
realize that nothing lasts long
i'm coming home

i just want to sleep by your side
it makes me feel so alive

so easy to love from a distance [background]
hard to be near when you can
impossible now to get back to
where we began

i just wanna sleep by your side
it makes me feel so alive
i just wanna sleep by your side
i just wanna sleep through the night
