    It wasn't the rain that washed away...
    Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
    Putting the gun down on the bedside table
    I must have realized
    It wasn't the rain
    That made no difference
    And I could have sworn it wasn't me
    Yet I did it all so coldly
    Almost slowly
    Plain for all to see
    Oh c'mon please now
    Talk to me
    Tell me things I could find helpful
    How can I stop now
    Is there nothing I can do
    I have lost my way
    I've been losing you
    I can still hear our screams competing
    You're hissing your s's like a snake
    Now in the mirror stands
    Half a man
    I thought no one could break
    It wasn't the rain
    That made no difference
    Nervously drumming on:Run away
    But I want the guilt to get me
    Thoughts to wreck me
    Preying on my mind
    So, please now
    Talk to me
    Tell me things I could find helpful
    For how can I stop now
    Is there nothing I can do
    I have lost my way
    I've been losing you

  • @msamelienp

    This song is about "partnercide". He's shot her and now she's dead, he's asking her to talk to him ("t wasn't the rain that washed out the color of your eyes") Melancholy lyrics with an upbeat song, typical of many 80s bands. I love this, I bought this album when it came out.
    I recommend "The Living Daylights" from the soundtrack of the Bond movie. And don't forget about the unplugged MTV versions of Take on Me and The Living Daylights.

      Yes, and with a-ha you can see it well. I considered adding a couple of suggestions from the midterm, but she's already reacted to Summer moved on, so it's not completely open. We have to keep her warm, and there will probably be more.

    There it was! And it's one of my biggest favorites as well. Fantastic!
    I sit on pins and needles every time for fear that the reactor will turn off the song before the end. Fortunately, it usually goes well.
    Nice to see you got the gist of the music and I see you have the lyrics in another comment so you know it's not as funny as it seems. I think that through the music they masterfully manage to convey the despair in the message; a man who desperately admits that he has killed the woman in what I perceive to be an ambivalent relationship.
    Even the break in the middle of the song has a function; what he has done will haunt him, and when he finally finds peace it will come back full force.

    Nice Choice
    This guy has a great voice
    Now don’t hold this against for this but there was a time when Synth Pop got too much for me and AHA were one band i didn’t warm to .
    But there is a happy ending
    Sometime ( maybe 10 years ago ) AHA did an MTV unplugged show I guess for MTV Europe ( Hey MTV USA brimg back music )
    Anyway all there hits reimagined acoustically and this album I really like ; with a great cover of Killing Moon
    At time he sounds like Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music
