Move To Memphis
A-Ha · Memorial Beach
You were the one who taught me
better
This old town brings me down
You were the one who told me
You've got to
Move to Memphis
That's what I'll do
Gonna move to Memphis and follow you
Trace that highway
Down to your doorway
Gonna move to Memphis and be with you
On the day you walked away
I was the one who said
You'd better stick around stay in town
You were the one who told me
You've got to
Move to Memphis
That's what I'll do
Chase the shadow that follows you
Trace that highway
Down to your doorway
Gonna move to Memphis
And be with you
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
Gonna move to Memphis
Move to Memphis
That's what I'll do
Move to Memphis to be with you
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
Gonna move to Memphis!
Move To Memphis
A-Ha's 'Move To Memphis' stands as a defining track from their 1988 album 'Memorial Beach,' capturing the band's signature synth-pop sound at its peak. The song features the group's characteristic interplay between Bjørn Ørsted's driving bassline and Morten Harket's emotive vocals, delivering an infectious hook that became a staple of the Eurodance era. Released during a period of immense commercial success, the recording exemplifies the Norwegian trio's ability to blend pop sensibilities with electronic textures. While the track did not achieve the same chart dominance as their earlier hits like 'Take On Me,' it remains a cherished part of their discography, showcasing their evolution as songwriters and producers in the late 1980s. The melody and rhythm continue to resonate with fans of the genre, serving as a nostalgic reminder of the era's vibrant musical landscape.
