Hunting High And Low

a-ha 'Hunting High And Low' Singles cover - Some notes on the cover and video of the song (source: a-ha official website)
This was the last video from the band's debut album.
The UK TV show "Blue Peter" featured a making-of-the-video special on "Hunting High and Low" to demonstrate the morphing effects of Morten into animals.
The basic idea behind the video is that love brings a man back in various forms to be near the woman he loves.
Coldplay has been known to perform this song in concert, with a special nod to the band of their initial inspiration.

a-ha's 'Hunting High And Low' is still a beautiful love song. Often mistaken for a teeny-bopper band and one-hit wonder from the 80's, they're anything but that. The group has survived and still making good music. The same can't be said of the many mediocre bands of today. Lead singer Morten Harket's has one of pop music most beautiful and powerful voice, and still is now. The string section in the middle work to highten the drama of the song. Certainly not one of those sappy love song. "Here i am And within the reach of my hand She's sound asleep And she's sweeter now Than the wildest dream Could have seen her And i watch her slipping away But i know i'll be Hunting high and low Haaa... There's no end to the lengths I'll go to Hunting high and low Haaa... There's no end to the lengths I'll go To find her again Upon this my dreams are depending Through the dark I sense the pounding of her heart Next to mine She's the sweetest love I could find So I guess I'll be hunting high and low Haaa... There's no end to the lengths I'll go to High and Low Haaa... Do you know what it means to love you I'm hunting high and low And now she tells me she's got to go Away I'll always be hunting high and low Only for you Watch me tearing myself to pieces Hunting high and low" What would a person do for someone they loved? That would take more thoughts. What about the most sincere and thoughtful thing a person had done for their loved ones; be they a wife, mother, father, husband, brothers and sisters or a friend.
