About Nothing Is Keeping You Here

"Nothing Is Keeping You Here" is a song by the Norwegian band a-ha taken from their ninth studio album Foot of the Mountain (2009). It was written by band member Paul Waaktaar-Savoy, produced by Roland Spremberg and it contains elements produced by Mark Saunders. It was released as the second single from the album in the United Kingdom on September 20, 2009, (whereas in mainland Europe "Shadowside" was used as the second single) and as the third single in Europe on 20 November 2009. In an interview in Norway, Waaktaar-Savoy stated that the track was the first song to be written for the album while on tour. A pop song, "Nothing Is Keeping You Here" received a more electronic approach to it when it was released as a single. Its instrumentation consists in guitar, bass, drums and piano backbone. Lyrically, "Nothing Is Keeping You Here" has themes of transience and restlessness. It appeared on the soundtrack for the German feature film Zweiohrküken (2009) and its "original version" was included on the deluxe edition of the band's tenth studio album Cast in Steel (2015). The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, who went on to praise Morten Harket's vocal range on the track. It charted on German Singles Chart for four weeks, reaching number 65. Its accompanying music video was directed by German music director Uwe Flade. more »

The lights change on the hill
The air seems strangely still
Everyone's asleep

The floorboards creak at dawn
As you walk out on the lawn
The grass is wet beneath

You think it rather strange
You think it rather weird
It's fair to say that

Nothing is keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here

The phone is off the hook
As you sink into a book
You don't know where you are

From the world; detached
Unto a girl you latched
It never got too far

And everybody talks
And everybody stares
It's safe to say that
Nothing is keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here

And everybody's dawn
And everybody cares
You knew your day to shine
Would come without you here

Come without you here,
Nothing was keeping you here
Nothing is keeping you here
