Summer Moved On Lyrics
And the way it goes you can't tag alone
Honey moved out
And the way it went leaves no doubt
Moments will pass
In the morning light I found out
Seasons can't last
And there's just one thing late to ask
And leave me another day
Day just like today
With nobody else around
And... until the day you can't tag along
Handshakes unfold
And the way it goes no one knows
Moments will pass
In the morning light I found out
Seasons can't last
And there's just one thing late to ask
And leave me another day
Day just like today
Nobody else around
Leave me another...
Don't just walk away
Nobody else around
And there's just one thing late to ask...
Stay... Don't just walk away
With nobody else around
Summer moved on...
Wow!That was really long and high!
I've read over wiki's page that
Morten Harket holds the European record for the longest note held in a Top 40 pop song. During the song "Summer Moved On" Harket sustains a note for 20.2 seconds (=32 measures).
so, I waited for it and count until when he would stop.
STAY.............................
Summer is an indication of good times that are over so soon.
When Paul wrote it he said that he had found the perfect composition. I bet he was right, but not to ignore Hunting High and Low.
A-Ha are the most underrated band in the world, and this song is the best of the decade. Period.
I consider 'MInor earth major sky ' their most beautiful album. this song is not an axception. 'Season can't last..(so friendship, love...life...' and the melanchony that is get is the theme of full album
I believe this song is about people who enter our lives unexpectedly, and the experiences we have, brief but intense moments…. But we can’t stay in those moments. Life goes on, time doesn’t stop, though sometimes we wish it would, it just keeps moving forward and all we are left with is the memories.
Also, it causes us to reflect. Throughout life, friendships evolve. People move away, dynamics change. The one constant in our lives is never-ending change.
“Stay, just like today, Don’t walk away and leave me another day… A day just like today No one else around…”
I think this stanza is about the memories we are left with… that stay with us, haunt us all our lives. We relive those brief fiery intense moments. Especially when we are alone with our thoughts. No one else around. And we will always have those, no one can take that away from us. But it’s a two edged sword, because the bliss of those bittersweet moments, those ever so sweet interludes, must eventually end, and we have to wake up and face the reality of the real world, the here and now, and then we lose them all over again.
omg. why hasnt anyone commented on this song?!?! a-ha's best! this song speaks of immense melancholy. of ephemeral moments. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!
OMG I totally agree. It's so awesome.
I think it's about being caught up in the bad htings in life. The care-free days of the summer (or being young) are over and now it's time to get back to buisness and reality.
I think it's about people coming and leaving our life. After all good times are through, they leave, although we want them to stay with us...
Maybe it's about moving on, while others stay where they are. Stay or go, Summer keeps movin' on, with nobody else around.
Summer Moved on is my joint favorite with I've Been Losing You and this song shows Morten at his best. Love the album version but it is the live one from the Ending on a High Note that does it for me when he holds that lyric for 20.2 seconds wow.
