The Ha that Made the Young Boy Sing · 27 June 08
I did not know the “ha” to which the young boy referred.
His English was great. It seemed odd that he would say such an incomprehensible thing in a basic conversation.
But what was this “ha”, and how did it earn his love?
He tried to explain. “You know, like ‘Take on Me?’”
It took me a second. Of course.
It was I who was mistaken, unnecessarily hunting high and low.
May I never again underestimate the persistent glory of mid 80’s Norwegian rock.
