I Dream Myself Alive
A-Ha · Hunting High And Low
Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive
But you can't deny
There's something dark
Against the light
All i can say
It doesn't have to be this way
We'll be chasing our tails madly
See days pass like wildfire
Right from the start
I knew this world would break my heart
I dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive
Break my heart
And dream my self alive
What can it mean
I'm drawing pictures of the sea
Right from the start
I knew this girl would break my heart
Dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive
I dream my self alive
But you can't deny
There's something dark
Against the light
All i can say
It doesn't have to be this way
We'll be chasing our tails madly
See days pass like wildfire
Right from the start
I knew this world would break my heart
I dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive
Break my heart
And dream my self alive
What can it mean
I'm drawing pictures of the sea
Right from the start
I knew this girl would break my heart
Dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
Dream my self alive
I dream my self alive
I Dream Myself Alive
Released in 1988 on the album Hunting High And Low, I Dream Myself Alive stands as a defining track in the synth-pop canon. The song features the distinctive vocal style of Morten Harket, blending melancholic lyrics with the signature three-part harmony of the band A-Ha. As a key component of the group's discography during their peak commercial success, the recording exemplifies the genre's characteristic use of synthesizers and driving rhythms. The track remains a staple of their live performances and has been widely recognized for its enduring appeal in the new wave and electronic music eras.
