Velvet
A-Ha · Minor Earth Major Sky
Her skin is like velvet
Her face cut from stone
Her eyes when she’s smiling
Will never reach home
But hear how she sings
Her touch would be tender
Her lips would be warm
But when we’re together
I’m always alone
But hear how she sings
Her skin is like velvet
So I went to her home
Her place like a palace
With things you can’t own
Her skin is like velvet
And hear how she sings
Hear how she sings...
Yaeh, she sings
And hear how she sings
Hear how she sings
Her face cut from stone
Her eyes when she’s smiling
Will never reach home
But hear how she sings
Her touch would be tender
Her lips would be warm
But when we’re together
I’m always alone
But hear how she sings
Her skin is like velvet
So I went to her home
Her place like a palace
With things you can’t own
Her skin is like velvet
And hear how she sings
Hear how she sings...
Yaeh, she sings
And hear how she sings
Hear how she sings
Velvet - A-Ha
Released in 1988 on the album Minor Earth Major Sky, Velvet is a synth-pop track by the Norwegian band A-Ha. The song features the group's signature three-part vocal harmony, blending melodic pop sensibilities with the electronic production that defined their late 1980s sound. As part of their discography during their peak commercial success, the recording showcases the band's ability to craft atmospheric tracks that became staples of the genre. It remains a representative work of their catalog, reflecting the era's shift toward more polished, radio-friendly pop structures while maintaining their distinct identity.
