October
A-Ha · Scoundrel Days
Of coloured gray
Here I roam the streets without you
As summer fades away
...down in the city at nights
The cold wind blows
Wherever you may be right now
It must be getting late
You're probably asleep already
I am wide awake
...down in the city at nights
"Don't be lonely"
so you've told me
But don't you worry now
Loneliness can be ignored
And time has shown me how
... down in the city at nights
I'm missing you so much
Down in the city
Down in the city...

As part of an album that explores themes of memory and reflection, the recording showcases the group's ability to blend melancholic melodies with driving rhythms. This work stands alongside their extensive discography, which includes classic hits and critically acclaimed studio albums. The track demonstrates the band's continued relevance and their capacity to craft emotionally resonant music that appeals to both longtime fans and new listeners.
