Hunting High and Low


Hunting High and Low by A-ha is a pop rock song released in 1985 in the key of F# major. The song tells a story of searching and longing for love. It was written by the band members, Pål Waaktaar-Savoy, Magne Furuholmen, and vocalist Morten Harket. Interestingly, the song was initially recorded in 1982 but only gained success when it was re-recorded for their debut album of the same name. With its catchy melodies and Harket's emotive vocals, Hunting High and Low became one of A-ha's signature hits. The song showcases a blend of synth-pop and power ballad elements, featuring memorable hooks and a soaring chorus.
