A-ha - Riding The Crest Lyrics






You search your mind
That’s what it’s there for
Check all the whys’
And all the wherefores’
In your mind
You’re tall and brave
Riding the crest
Of a high and beautiful wave

You make your movements known
And where you want to be
And everybody knows
That’s how it’s got to be
In the sheltered morning sun
In the sheltered morning sun

Internally
You make your own rules
You’ll have excuses
The ones that you choose
In the end
You deem unsafe;
Riding the crest
Of a high and beautiful wave

You make your movements known...

There comes a time
You don’t even know what’s missing
Some sugar to make the pill go down
You need a line
A push in the right direction
The sugar that makes the pill go down

True
True to form
True to pre-existing norms
Truly wasted
At a rave
Riding the crest
Of a high and beautiful wave

  11. S.... S....

    Love the strong 80s sounds in this song! A-ha is definitely best as a synthpop band. Makes me wonder if 80s Morten sang this song. And that outro, whoa

  12. M.... G....

    Best song from A-HA ever!!!

  20. A.... S....

    A-ha seems to be one of the best bands ever, like Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Tears For Fears, Bryan Adams, Roxette etc. Does anyone agree? Lithuania :)

    A.... S....

    not a all, good band but not one of the best....

    A.... S....

    Because is simply The best...;)

    A.... S....

    i agree israel :)

  21. c.... r....

    One of the best songs by one of the still great bands.   a-ha will never end.   Wish more new music had this great sound and vibe.

  22. V.... ....

    The world was asleep when this album came out ...lucky us !!!

  23. N.... ....

    Listen to this when you don't feel like getting up.

  24. S.... A....

    They are brilliant! :)

  25. J.... ....

    Simply i love

  26. A.... S....

    Classic A-ha sound. I grew up with them in the 80's and though I liked their new sound, I thought it did not compare to their earlier sound. This totally does!

  27. v.... r....

    man if only this generation can make a sound of 80s pop :D. all over again. i love a-ha songs...i thought this song was from the 80s but i was wrong lol. im like cool and thought over of what i just said.

    v.... r....

    They can.The genre is called Synthwave

  28. D.... ....

    RIDING THE AREST!!!

  29. f.... ....

    thumbs up if you want this song on the next Dance Dance Revolution game!

  30. d.... ....

    but i think it sounds modern at the same time!

  31. J.... ....

    jesus, man, when I first heard this I thought it was made back in the 80's. A-HA FTW!!!

  32. L.... ....

    A-Ha - the BEST!

  33. f.... ....

    This song is a good example that sometimes, good 80s bands can survive the future generations and still be just as good as they were in the 80s.

  34. R.... V....

    Great song guys! go on doing this great music and lyrics, if you don`, just follow your own Solo carrer in the best way as possible, Best wishes from Chile

  35. s.... ....

    Great Synth new album.

  36. m.... m....

    Der vllt beste A-ha Song seit den 80er. Die ganzen melancholischen Dinger sind irgendwie nicht mehr zu ertragen, sorry.

    Schade das es nicht der Titelsong des Albums wurde.

    Bis vor 1 Minute kannte ich den Song noch gar nicht, kam noch nie im Radio.

  39. S.... ....

    I wouldn't call it a split up, guys. A-ha has been making music since 1982, and everyone still gets along with each other. Call it a retirement; all great legends must have their end.

    We should consider ourselves lucky A-ha ended with a big bang, rather than a horrible disaster.

    Long Live A-ha.

  40. S.... G....

    @MelissaJayne1973 I bet if it went mainstream for like a week it'd be hot. Thanks to Owl City (ew) for helping with bringing synths back.

  41. h.... ....

    They have really wound back the years with this album

  42. N.... ....

    Sounds quite spacing than their other previous work they done over the years.

    N.... ....

    Nostalgia Memories89

  43. y.... ....

    My favourite song of 2009

  44. G.... ....

    Sorry, i didn't think to be misunderstood in my love for their music ; i think that every track in this and precedents albums are the best in the world! i heard them in roma the 8th april 1988 and was a very exciting moment! my feelings about a-ha are the same, and i think they are my heartbit, the air that i breathe, the blood that moves my body, my endless youth! a-ha the best one in the whole universe!!! love from sarah.

  45. s.... ....

    I really don't think they should split up..

  46. T.... J....

    Please don't split up and continue to make great records.

  47. h.... ....

    Do you know any other albums that have a similar cover? I am looking for a cd cover from a band that came out couple years ago, maye less than that. but i cant seem to find it, it's almost the same, only with more colour. Does anybody know????

  48. S.... ....

    agreed, it's the epiphany of everything people love about a-ha; their super talent of never ageing!

  49. S.... ....

    I agree, I don't hate or even dislike Take On Me, but I do admit it's not their best song. Admit it everyone, the majority of airplay it got was partly because of it being good, but also because of the smash-hit video. Brilliant song, this, and you're right, timialpha, this album, like most after Scoundrel Days, will not recieve the attention it deserves. But we love it, and that's all that matters! It should be a No. 1... :D

  50. t.... ....

    My personal fave from Foot of the Mountain. The whole album is perfect and gets them back to hook laden pop tunes with cleaver lyrics. Morten's voice is ageless.

  51. U.... A....

    i hope this song isnt about me ,
    lolz xD 8) ;)

  52. M.... ....

    this song is super!!! I should say its a number one song!!!!

  53. S.... S....

    tomialpha: Agree 100%

  54. T.... J....

    I thougt that I get many thombs down, just because i don't like Take On Me.
    It doesn't matter that I adore the rest ca. 200 songs.
    And I really think Riding the Crest is superb and should be a Nr 1. hit, because it's 100 times better than Take ON Me.

  55. T.... J....

    I also think this could be a massive hit, but unfortunately Foot of the Mountain has not the popularity it deserves.
    Maybe I receive a lot of thombs down, but in my opinion Take on Me is their worst song by far and that is the only one A-ha hit played very often even nowadays.
    The time of change is arrived now!

  56. T.... J....

    I heard Nothing is Keeping you here will be their next single in an accelarated version, but I mean this song would be a better choice, I like it much better.

  57. D.... W....

    This brilliant sounding 80s feel pop song is rumoured to be there next single.
    Its got a touch of... take on me...to it,
    MASSIVE HIT SONG I RECKON !!

  58. M.... ....

    The sort of song Keane wish they could write...

  59. J.... H....

    this is now the theme song for my 17th year :D

    happy birthday me, thank you me :P

  60. j.... b....

    Brilliant. Best thing they have done for ages

  61. U.... A....

    absolutely stunning song,
    and ofcourse the reactions of the people makes it even more Brilliant!!!

  62. 2.... ....

    This is the real a-ha!!!

  63. c.... ....

    Thanks for posting their new songs, so I can listen to them and buy the album if the songs are all good. This sounds great too.
