Eu amei, vocês capricharam!!!
Beautiful video. Thanks for all of your beautiful music over the last 25 years. Please keep us posted with what you guys will be doing individually. Cheers from Canada
I watched the video and I loved the simplicity, harmony among friends and the memories of the song take on me, and butterflies taking their course is very beautiful!
Amazing video! Is the best video of A-ha to me! I’m crying now!
Very honest video and melancholic because a-ha is the synonym of melancholy.Thanks for everything .
You guys are big part of our lives and you are our best friends.You should know that your songs write our personal history,every personal event related to a song of yours.
We will miss you for the rest of our lives.
I start missing you guys already….;(
But what can I complaint now?
you guys already gave us such the best music throughout this 25 years, even now come to “the end”, you gave us a touching song and a touching mv as a farewell gift to us.
You guys really never made us disappointed!
Whether you guys come back or not, we will still love you forever, we will never forget you.
The Ultimate Best of the best of the best band in the world – a-ha!
Goodbye and hope that we will meet again!
WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!
There isn’t much more to say except thank you and good luck for the future…The perfect video to say goodbye and move us once again…
MY DEAR FRIENDS:
ALREADY I SAW THE VIDEO YESTERDAY AND… WHAT COULD I SAY…? MY EMOTION WENT SO BIG AND SO DEEP, THAT MIGHT NOT EXPRESS IT WITH WORDS… EVERYTHING IS SO, SO WONDERFUL!!!!!! YOUR VOICE, MORTEN, IS THE MOST EXQUISITE OF THIS LIFE FOR ME… YOU ARE THE MEDICINE THAT SMOOTHS ALL MY PAINS AND SORROWS…
AND THOUGH ALSO IT IS SAD, FOR ME A-HA WILL NEVER FINISH. I DO NOT LIKE THE FAREWELLS AND YOUR LESS THAN ANY… WHEN SOMETHING IS SO SUBLIME, IT TURNS IN ATEMPORAL, BREAKS THE LIMITS OF THIS MORTAL LIFE AND EXPANDS IN THE INFINITE AND THE ETERNITY… THERE YOU WILL BE ALWAYS THE THREE, ALREADY BE AS A-HA OR AS MORTEN HARKET, PÄL WAAKTAAR OR MAGNE FURUHOLMEN… IN ADDITION, I KNOW THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE WITH YOUR CAREERS IN SOLITARILY, IN WHICH I WISH YOU ALL THE LUCK OF THE WORLD…
AND, SPEAKING ABOUT VIDEOS, I WANTED TO REMEMBER HERE ONE THAT, PERSONALLY, SEEMS TO ME THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THAT I EVER HAVE SEEN: STAY ON THIS ROADS… AND I THINK THAT, MAYBE, ALSO WE MIGHT CHOOSE OUR FAVORITE A-HA’S VIDEO. THERE I LEAVE IT AS HUMBLE SUGGESTION…
GOD GUARDS AND BLESS YOU!!!!!!
I’M WAITING FOR YOU…
Ana.
AH!, I FORGOT IT… MANY, MANY THANKS, CATHERINE, FOR TO OFFER US THIS WONDERFUL AND UNPAYABLE GIFT…
GOD BLESS YOU ALSO!!!!!
AN EMBRACE.

The video is beautiful and very touching ….. When I heard the song for the first time I cried, and now with the video again!!
Thank you for these years of great music !!! We will always keep A-HA in our hearts and our minds …. I wish the best to all three, in all aspects of your life. In addition to being great in the music you are very nice people!
Kisses from Argentina!!
‘I ended my two closest friendships’…
Dear Carolyn: I ended my two closest friendships, one of which had lasted over 25 years. One friend just never seemed to have time for our friendship anymore, while the other had taken advantage of our friendship one time too many. By ending these…
While watching this video I have goose bumps: the final embrace and the way you look at each other and shyly smile speak for themselves. I will always be proud of you and hugely thankful for your music that will last forever.
You will never die, butterfly: “you can be sure of it…”
Grazie di tutto, a-ha!
Fantastic video…I will cherish this forever as it was filmed four miles from where I live!
I pass this place practically everyday, not that I would forget a-ha…but now it is near on impossible for me to do so, every time I drive pass I smile inside!
Well,
What I can say is that I cried with this video… it made me feel really sad…
I understand the choice made – it’s time to do other things, make other dreams come true… but Magnes’ face broke my heart… no need to say anything else because the video ‘speaks’ for itself…
Changes … they surely come anyway…
Once again, wish you three all the luck, success and joy in whatever good you decide to do…
I’m here in Oslo now, watching the fjord from my window and waiting for saturday to come…
Love ya, guys!
God bless you all…
I watched the video and found it very emotinal.It is a fitting video to a beautiful song and it made me have tears in my eyes. Thankyou so much A-ha for the last 25 years of the most wonderful music. Your music has given me many years of happiness and great memories along with songs that have touched my heart, made me smile and made me cry. You music will live on and A-ha will never be forgotten.The concerts have been fantastic too.It’s been great to be part of your journey for so long and I will miss you.
I wish all of you all the luck in the world for the future in whatever path you now take.
Love and best wishes.

I want to record here my admiration for the ONLY band that pays homage to the fans with a glorious farewell. It may be the last hurray of a chrysalis, but not a butterfly. You can fly away, because where you are going to, certainly will make much difference, as ever you do. Thank you for the 25 years of inspiration.
Wow! Amazing video guys, you’re just brilliant, you just get better and better, you just amaze me!
What else can I say? a-ha are fabulous!
I still can’t believe this is your last year
I can’t wait to see you all in November at Wembley!
Love & Hugs to Morten, Mags & Paul
