LQM HOMENAGEIA A-HA

a-ha

Quando ouvi pela primeira vez este nome achei engraçado ,talvez porque nos lembre de dar risada,mais do que apenas sorrir e confesso que até hoje não sei o que significa,mas o que tenho certeza é de que essa banda norueguesa,da terra do autêntico bacalhau,onde só lá encontramos a cabeça tão procurada,o trio formado por Morten Hanket,Pal Waaktaar e Mags encantou o mundo com seu carisma,sonoridade,batidas,efeitos sonoros e contribuiu tanto para os olhos do mundo pop-rock até então antenados nos EUA,Inglaterra,Austrália e Brasil. Assim como o Roxette da Suécia,o A-ha era mais do que uma banda que enlouquecia as mulheres,principalmente as adolescentes,face aos rostinhos bonitos mas pelo som contagiante,dançante e empolgantes dos homens que tinha coragem de admitir que gostavam sem risco de ser vítima de gozação,como eu o fiz e até hoje ouço. Agradeço a meu irmão Zé (que foi ao show no Centro de Convenções) e eu era um garoto,de menor que assim como essa banda,ajudou a me refinar musicalmente com Supetramp,Dire Straits,Pink Floyd,Queen,Bee Gees,Phil Collins/Gêneses e outros tantos!

I've Been Losing You
A-Ha
Composição: Pal Waaktaar-Savoy

It wasn't the rain that washed away
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized

It wasn't the rain that made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly, almost slowly
Plain for all to see

CHORUS:
Oh, come on
Please, now talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
Is there nothing I can do?
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands
Half a man I thought no one could break

It wasn't the rain that made no difference
Nervously drumming on run away
But I want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me, preying on my mind

CHORUS:
Oh, come on
Please, now talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
Is there nothing I can do?
I have lost my way
I've been losing you


Manhattan Skyline
A-Ha
Composição: Pal Waaktaar-Savoy/Magne Furuholmen

We sit and watch umbrellas fly
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
I hear myself say
My boat's leaving now
So we shake hands and cry
Now I must wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

You know I don't want to cry again
I don't want to cry again
Don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to cry again
I don't want to run away
Don't want to race this pain
I'll never see your face again

Oh but how, how can you say that I didn't try
You see things in the depths of my eyes
That my love's run dry, no
We leave to their goodbyes
I've come to depend on the look in their eyes
My blood's sweet for pain
The wind and the rain bring back words of a song
And they say wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

But you know I don't want to fall again
Don't want to know this pain
Don't want another friend
Don't want to try again
Don't want to see you hurt
Don't let me see you hurt
I don't want to cry again
I'll never see your face again

How can you say that I didn't try
You know I did
You see things in the depths of my eyes
that my loves run dry

I don't want to try again

So I read to myself
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
On the front page a black and white picture of
Manhattan Skyline


You Are The One
A-Ha
Composição: Mags/Pal Waaktaar

You are the one who has done me in
Guess you knew from the start
I call again, but there's no one in
Don't know where, with whom you've been
But I do love you
Anyway you want me to

You are the one now the state I'm in!
Catching you was so hard
I fought for you, did you let me win?
Don't even care
You don't care where I've been
But I do love you
Anyway you want me to

I've done all I can do
All the letters I've sent through
Put my life in the palms of your hands
Maybe now you can see
That it's got to be me
But if you leave me
I'll understand, yeah
If you leave me, I'll understand

Girl!!!
You are the one who has done me in
Guess you knew from the start
I call your friends, but there's no one in
Catching you is so hard
You are the one!


The Blood That Moves The Body
A-Ha

It's the way we feel
Tonight
As if it's all unreal
All right
My love, won't you come back to
Our love, you know I'll react to
The blood that moves my body
Now covers the ground
The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the body

There's nowhere to go
Tonight
Lend some warmth to our cold
And lonely lives
Red stains on 'Eyes Of A Blue Dog'
My pains fade as the interiors fog
The blood that moves my body
Now colours the ground
The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the body

Not long ago
It hurt us so
A tremble through our lives
The love and care...
The way we were
Lost its way at nights

It's the way we feel
Tonight
Lend some warmth to our cold
And lonely lives
My love, won't you come back to
Our love, you know we'll react to
The blood that moved our bodies
Now covers the ground...
Now covers the ground
The blood that moves the body
The blood that moves the body
