A-ha - you'll never get over me, 2000

"a spiky, slow-tempo pop song which tells the story of an in-progress break-up. The verses are vague – “you say you wanna run/you’re not the only one…you say you want some/you’re not the only one” – but the chorus pulls no punches – especially in the second chorus when the protagonist trades barbs with his former lover. Just as he’s declaring “You’ll never get over me/I’ll never get under you/Whenever our voices speak/It’s never our minds that meet“, a female voice counters “I will get over you” repeatedly. I’m not sure if they took the idea from somewhere else but apart from being great storytelling, it sounds fantastic. The female voice in this instance is Paul’s wife, Lauren Savoy."
