Today’s video of the day is a-ha – “Hunting High And Low” released in 1985.
Norwegian sensations a-ha catapulted into the music scene in 1985 with their iconic album “Hunting High And Low,” introducing the world to timeless hits like “Take On Me.” One gem from this album, “Train Of Thought,” stands out not just for its melodic brilliance but also for its unique journey through the band’s evolution. Formed in Oslo in 1982, a-ha quickly rose to international acclaim, mesmerizing audiences with their distinct synth-pop sound. The band’s trajectory, however, hit a temporary pause in 2010 after a triumphant 73-show worldwide tour. Fans mourned the split, fearing the end of an era.
Yet, in December 2014, hope reignited as a-ha announced their participation in the “Rock in Rio” festival slated for September 2015. The anticipation reached a fever pitch when, in March 2015, the band surprised fans with news of a comeback album, “Cast In Steel,” set to release in September that same year. Amidst the excitement, a-ha dropped the first single, “Under The Makeup,” in July 2015, a precursor to the album’s grand return. However, as a testament to their unwavering creativity, a-ha revisited their past, reaching back to the track “Train Of Thought,” originally part of the 1985 masterpiece.
“Train Of Thought” isn’t just a nostalgic nod to the past; it serves as a sonic bridge connecting a-ha’s enduring legacy with their contemporary resurgence. The song, released posthumously in 1985, reemerged as a symbol of the band’s enduring spirit. Its inclusion in “Cast In Steel” creates a musical continuum, inviting listeners to journey through the evolution of a-ha. As a band that continues to record and tour, a-ha’s resilience and commitment to their craft are evident. Their ability to seamlessly integrate past and present in “Train Of Thought” showcases not only their musical prowess but also their timeless relevance in the ever-changing landscape of the music industry.
