Morten Harket

Morten Harket (born 14 September 1959) is a Norwegian musician, best known as the lead singer of the synthpop/rock band A-ha, which released ten studio albums and topped the charts internationally after their breakthrough hit "Take on Me" in 1985. A-ha disbanded in 2010 after they played their last gig in Oslo. In 2015, after each member pursued their own artistic path, a-ha reunited to produce a new album, "Cast In Steel", and perform a world tour, kicking off at "Rock in Rio" in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 27 September 2015. Harket has also released six solo albums. Before joining A-ha in 1982, Harket had appeared on the Oslo club scene as the singer for blues outfit Souldier Blue.

Music career

A-ha

The trio, composed of lead vocalist Harket, guitarist Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (Pål Waaktaar until his marriage in 1994), and keyboardist Magne Furuholmen, formed on 14/09/1982, and left Norway for London in order to make a career in the music business. They chose the studio of musician, producer, and soon-to-be-manager, John Ratcliff, because it had a Space Invaders machine. John Ratcliff introduced the boys to his manager, Terry Slater, and, after a few meetings, A-ha had two managers. Terry Slater and John Ratcliff together formed T.J. Management. Ratcliff dealt with all the technical and musical aspects; Slater was the international business manager and liaison to Warner Brothers' head office. The band says the name A-ha comes from a title Paul contemplated giving to a song; he was dithering between the title "A-ha" and "A-hem". Morten was looking through Paul's notebook, and came across the name, which he liked, and immediately decided that was the right name.

Scared Of Heights

by: Morten Harket

I have always been the type to think before I speak
I have always been the type to look before I leap
Like a boat out of the blue
I was struck and there was you
For the moment I believe I could let go
You lift me up into the sky
Feels like I could fly
Never gonna die
If I almost made it but not quite
Then you're flying out of sight
And you know I can't come with you
Cos I've always been scared of heights
I didn't think I need someone to make me change my ways
Never thought I'd find someone who brighten up my date
Someone who made me forget
My hands were tied my wings were clipped
Someone who'd make me believe that I could let go
You lift me up into the sky
Feels like I could fly
Never gonna die
If I almost made it but not quite
And you're flying out of sight
And you know I can't come with you
I've always been scared of heights
Scared of heights
I wish I never knew how great it feels up in the air
I wish I never got to feel the wind blow through my head
When in my dreams you'll always be
Flying high along with me
In my dreams I always fear that I can let go
You lift up into the sky
Feels like I could fly
Never gonna die
If I almost made it but not quite
And you're flying out of sight
And I know I can't come with you
Cos I've always been scared of heights
