a-ha - "Hunting High and Low"
(Album Release: June 1985)
Most of the world had been so captivated by this Norwegian band's initial single and video, "Take on Me," that it remains within people's collective consciousness to this day. People then tend to forget that a-ha was not just a one-hit wonder. "The Sun Always Shines on TV," "Love is Reason," and "Train of Thought" were successful tracks from that album, though they may never have reached the heights of "Take on Me." The title track, however, showed a softer side of this pop band, proving that they could write ballads just as majestically as they wrote catchy dance singles. Coldplay showed that I wasn't alone in my appreciation of this tune by covering it at numerous shows.
One man's writings, thoughts, and appreciations of all things cultural.
