(Seemingly) Nonstop July
A-Ha · East Of The Sun West Of The Moon
Walking by strangers
Stranger than me
We talk of the future
Between you and me
Sweet little darling
Where will we be
Sweet little darling
Where will we be
It's hard to conceive it
All comes to an end
A joke when it's funny, well...
I laugh and pretend
We're fools to believe it
We're fools to try
To slow down this seemingly
Nonstop July
Stranger than me
We talk of the future
Between you and me
Sweet little darling
Where will we be
Sweet little darling
Where will we be
It's hard to conceive it
All comes to an end
A joke when it's funny, well...
I laugh and pretend
We're fools to believe it
We're fools to try
To slow down this seemingly
Nonstop July

Released on the 1983 album East Of The Sun West Of The Moon, this track by A-Ha stands as a defining example of the Norwegian band's early synth-pop sound. The song features the group's signature three-part vocal harmony, layered over a driving electronic beat that captured the summer energy of the early 1980s. While the title references the weather, the recording focuses on the atmospheric tension and rhythmic precision characteristic of their debut era. It remains a staple of their discography, showcasing the band's ability to blend melodic pop structures with the emerging new wave aesthetic that would later define their international success.
