Hunting High and Low

"Hunting High and Low" by A-HA is a synth-pop song released in 1985. It is originally in the key of A major. The track tells a story of longing and searching for love. The song was composed by A-HA band members Pal Waaktaar and Magne Furuholmen, with Morten Harket providing the mesmerizing vocals. Interestingly, "Hunting High and Low" was initially intended to be a ballad but was later transformed into an up-tempo track. The melody carries a nostalgic and emotive atmosphere, combining A-HA's signature synth sounds with Harket's powerful and distinctive vocals. The song became one of A-HA's most successful hits and remains a fan favorite to this day.
