Dragonfly
A-Ha · How Can I Sleep With Your Voice In My Head [2003]
I will always be around
In the time we are here
We'll see love disappear
Don't ask how
Don't ask why
Just fly, dragonfly
Just fly, dragonfly
I will never bring you down
I will always stick around
I will heat you when you're cold
In the time we have left
We'll raise eyes to the sky
Don't ask how
Don't ask why
Just fly, dragonfly
Just fly, dragonfly
Don't ask how
Don't ask why
Just fly, dragonfly
Just fly, fly, fly dragonfly
Dragonfly - A-Ha
Released on the 2003 compilation album How Can I Sleep With Your Voice In My Head, Dragonfly stands as a poignant late-career song for the Norwegian synth-pop trio A-Ha. The track showcases the group's enduring ability to blend melancholic melodies with their signature electronic production, reflecting on themes of fleeting connections and emotional vulnerability. While the band achieved global fame in the 1980s with hits like Take On Me, Dragonfly demonstrates their continued relevance and artistic depth two decades later. The song serves as a testament to their capacity to evolve their sound while maintaining the atmospheric and emotional core that defined their earlier work, offering listeners a mature perspective on love and loss through a polished, contemporary lens.
