A-Ha is a Norwegian new wave band that was most popular in the UK and the USA during the 1980s, but continued to be globally successful in the 1990s and 2000s. The trio, composed of lead vocalist Morten Harket, guitarist Paul Waaktaar-Savoyand keyboardist Magne Furuholmen, formed in 1983 and left Norwayfor London in order to make a career in the music business. The origin of the name a-ha comes from the lyric of an early song. After checking dictionaries in several languages, they found out that 'a-ha' was an international way of expressing recognition, with positive connotations. It was short, a-ha was easy to say and somewhat unusual.

October Lyrics
A-Ha
(pal waaktaar)
It wasnt 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 wasnt the rain
That made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasnt me
Yet I did it all so coldly
...almost slowly
Pain for all to see
Oh cmon 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
Ive been losing you
I can still hear our screams competing
Youre hissing your ss like a snake
Now in the mirror stands
Half a man
I thought no one could break
It wasnt 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
Please now
Talke to me
Tell me; things I could find helpful
For how can I stop now...
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
Ive been losing you
