Love Is Reason
A-Ha · Hunting High And Low [1985]
And as i make a start
You turn to go
oh, oh
I'll do what you want me to
I'll cry at the thought of the loss of a heart
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason enough
My morals are changing fast
I told you it wouldn't last
You turn and go
oh, oh
I'll be what you want me to be
I'd die at the thought of the loss of your heart
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason
Love is reason enough
Love Is Reason
A-Ha's 'Love Is Reason' serves as the opening track on their 1985 album 'Hunting High And Low,' establishing the synth-pop sound that would define their international success. The song features the band's signature three-part vocal harmony, with Morten Harket's distinctive lead soaring over a driving electronic beat and synthesizer lines. Released during the height of the New Wave era, the track exemplifies the genre's blend of pop sensibilities and electronic production that captivated audiences globally. While the lyrics explore themes of romantic devotion, the musical arrangement focuses on the atmospheric tension and melodic hooks characteristic of early 1980s Scandinavian pop. The recording stands as a foundational piece in the band's discography, setting the stage for subsequent hits and cementing their status as pioneers of the genre.
