history
Summer Moved On was a-ha’s first single in over six years. The piece was originally written after a-ha was allowed to perform at the 1998 Nobel Peace Prize concert . At that time there was disagreement among the band members; There was still a long way to go before they were reunited for the comeback album. However, the success at the concert, where only two songs were played, helped pave the way.
Summer Moved On became a hit in many parts of Europe and reached number 1 in various charts and number 8 in Germany. The cover photo of Bjørn Opsahl's single shows the band in front of a dark wall. Of the barely recognizable band members, Morten Harket is best seen.
