A-ha: Soundtrack To Our Lives

•

I composed this as A-ha split up last time, and have finished and put it out to mark the release of A-ha the movie


The title comes from the T-shirts on some German fans at their supposed farewell concerts of 2010 "You wrote the soundtrack to our lives"


You hear the start of an early style concert; Scoundrel Days for the verse and chorus, and then the very different sounds to show their departure in style, ending with I Call Your Name into Memorial Beach.... back (after their first split) to what they were like pre 1994, and then the long outro of the 2010 Royal Albert Hall orchestral concert and Shadowside on their 10th studio album


I'll put the words on my blog https://elspethr.wordpress.com/2022/05/23/a-ha-and-other-movies/

I hope to make a video and a commercial download for their 40 year anniversary
