Here I Stand And Face The Rain

A-Ha · Hunting High And Low [1985]

Help me

I need your love

Don't walk away

The dark scares me so

We're nothing apart

Let's stay friends forever

forever

Here i stand and face the rain

I know that nothing's gonna be the same again

I fear for what tomorrow brings

Trust me

For whom i am

Place all your faith

Into these hands

I got nothing to say

But let's stay friends forever

forever

Here i stand and face the rain

I know that nothing's gonna be the same again

I fear for what tomorrow brings

Here i stand and face the rain

I know that nothing's gonna be the same again

I fear for what tomorrow brings

Here i stand and face the rain

Knowing nothing's gonna be the same

again

Ahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa

Ahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa

Here i stand and face the rain

Knowing nothing's gonna be the same

again

Here I Stand And Face The Rain

A-Ha's 'Here I Stand And Face The Rain' serves as the closing track on their 1985 breakthrough album, Hunting High And Low. The song synthesizes the band's signature synth-pop sound with a dramatic, cinematic atmosphere that defined the Norwegian pop sound of the mid-1980s. Featuring the group's characteristic layered vocals and driving electronic rhythms, the track builds to an intense climax that encapsulates the emotional intensity of their debut era. As a key component of their catalog, it remains a staple of their live performances and has been widely recognized as a defining moment in the history of 80s pop music.
