#TAKE ON ME UNPLUGGED HOW TO#

It was short, a-ha was easy to say and somewhat unusual. After checking dictionaries in several languages, they found out that 'a-ha' was an international way of expressing recognition, with positive connotations. The origin of the name a-ha comes from the lyric of an early song. The trio, composed of lead vocalist Morten Harket, guitarist Paul Waaktaar-Savoy and keyboardist Magne Furuholmen, formed in 1982 and left Oslo, Norway for London in order to make a career in the music business. The final stanza is about how the main character's girlfriend is trying to convince him to let go of the past(oh the things you'll say to me) by telling his that what happened was supposed to happen(Is it live or just to play my worries away).A-ha are a Norwegian new wave band. The following lines(Say after me, it's no better to be safe than sorry) is the main character trying to convince his girlfriend(Say after me) that being prepared for the worst is no better than going through it(It's no better to be safe than sorry). I'll be stumbling away, slowly learning that life is OK). The second paragraph states that the main character returns and is having trouble coping with his girlfriend's moving on(So needless to say, I'm odds and ends. The chorus is saying to make the most of the time they have left together(Take on me, take me on) and that the time they have together is running short(I'll be gone in a day or two. The first paragraph basically tells that the main character is leaving his girlfriend(Shying away), and is having trouble parting with her(I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway), but that he'll return as soon as he can(Today's another day to find you I'll be coming for your love, OK?). I'll be coming for your love, OK' really start to tell the backstory. He's basically told her or the process of telling Now it doesn't even matter to him anymore he's going to tell her how he feels. He can't stop thinking about her but now she's also shying away from the opportunity to say how she feels about him. He feels good around her-she makes him feel no worries It's deeper into their friendship and she's basically flirting with him and saying thingsīut he doesn't know if it's for real or if she's just teasing him and playing games You're all the things I've got to remember He really wants to tell her and but he keeps stumbling on the opportunity so he convinces himself that he could do this but at the same time he's hoping she would just tell him to say it.bring it up in a sense or give him a sign for him to take a chance and risk it. This is in his head-he can't tell her how he feels so he's hoping she'd say and take him on because he feels like if she doesn't it won't go anywhere and he'll just end up giving up. He's keeps talking but when it comes to telling him he likes her-he shys away (bites his tongue)īut then he tells himself that he's going to get her one day. He's trying to get to know her but he's babbling not saying what he wants to say

My InterpretationI think this song is about this guy who likes this girl but he doesn't know how to express it.
