I can’t believe… Just a year ago I even didn’t know about such band as a-ha, and now I am on your concert…
When I first saw you… It was like a dream, even now I can’t realize completely that I was there, staying practicly in front of you, Paul… You seemed to be so happy, I wish you always felt like that! Oh, and thank you, thank you for all the wonderful songs that you gave us!
Morten, you are the best singer in the world! I hope your voice will always stay inside of me…
Magne… I am ready to bow to your feet as you did! Your little speech moved me to tears… Thank you…
Paul, Morten, Magne, many thanks for one of the best days in my life!
I’ll miss you.
I remember how my heart beat to the rhythm of your songs. 25 years – an era. The era of A-ha. Thank you. You are always with us.
Love,
Anna
Thank you very much for yesterday’s concert in Moscow, Morten – hold on, we are with you … wept, rejoiced, singing your songs …. I do not understand how your eyes no tears because we know what happened and I cried to the song butterfly … Magne and Paul, thank you too, you three have played for me a huge role in m…y life when it seemed that all already been completed and there is no need to live longer, you have given me hope and faith in the goodness and strength to go on …. you are something special for me, so I, like all of us in Moscow, would not you say goodbye, for me, it how to lose a very large part of the soul … but we respect your choice …
but we hope that it’s “Hurrah” was not the last))))
Beneath the surface of the reality, within our hearts…you’ll always be in our hearts!
I cried when the lights went on. I cried and smiled with your songs.
Your Light will always be with us. It was my fourth visit of your shows and every time you were bringing MAGIC, changing our lives for good.
These tears burnt my cheeks and my hearts forever, keeping the mark of your names, your faces and your beats on our hearts until the last breath.
LONG LIVE, A-HA!
Miss ya, Erika Jane Flame
Morten, Paul and Magne!
Thank you for this delightful concert!
Thank you so much for happiness, that we feel, hearing you!
Wish you good luck and good fortune!
Don’t want to say goodbye.
See you, my dear friends!
video Take on me 4:00 you can see how one girl threw a bra to Morten))) Maybe it would be cooler to throw thongs))
Good memories.
“Small moments are precious” life teaches us. Every moment of life is magic, but sometimes we face to very strong magic of this moments.
A person find his music and then maybe he can have some affairs with other songs, but music of the soul still stays with him.
All we have to do is to believe in this magic and know exactly what we really want.
And there is one more thing, the music of the soul. It is like falling in love with a person. We usually don’t understand why, how and when, but we fall in love with exactly this person and can’t explain it. Or maybe can, but there is still a piece of non-understandable. And I do strongly believe that the same happens with a person and a …music. Usually, we can’t explain why we like this or that music. Just the moment comes and we find it. I don’t mean the song that plays in my ears for days or and than I say goodbye to it, but I mean real music. Music is like a person. “Show me the music you listen and I’ll tell you who you are”. Sounds good
For now, I think, that I am very happy person, because I’ve found my music. I don’t know what will be in the future, because nobody can speak exactly about his future, but now and for many years before this moment I’ve had this music. The music you make. It is like falling in love: it don’t know why, it happened once.
Here I return to my first words – to know exactly what you really want. Just the day before the Moscow concert, I was working at my coffee-house on Stariy Arbat (Old Arbat) and suddenly saw you, Morten. True, I was waiting for this moment, because I know it had to happen, just was sure inside.
Now I write and don’t know who will read my message, but I want to say, that I tried to do my best and say all that I have inside, but it is usually so difficult in such moments. If it is possiable, I want to say it know. THANK to all of YOU to present me your music. One day you presented me the music of my soul. So, I will sing or cry in the rain (!), but deep inside I will know that I am happy – I’ve found it. And now I am even more sure that every person has to know exactly what he really wants. Just analyze your feelings.
Thank you for the Moscow concert and…for every concert: for every word you sing, for every note you play, for every smile you give.
Just take care.

Dear A-ha! Thank you very much for your concert in Moscow! It was great! I went from Siberia (Altay region) for visit it! Tomorrow will be your last concert…and I d like to write to you today, when you are together. I don’t know is it you or not write to facebook and to the official site, any way I hope that I m writing to you now) If I say that I listen A-ha many years it will be not true. I began listen your music a year ago after my visiting Norway. Fiords, mountains, red houses with white windows, falls, trolls and people…I m in love in Norway! So then I listen A-ha I imagine wonderful pictures from Norway`s landscapes. Also your music inspired me to create hand-made things and my own design, write articles and to be better day by day. I m very happy that I know A-ha`s music, that I was on your concert and saw you not by TV))) Thank you!!!

Today is the last day of a-ha era… still can’t believe, typing these words and crying … THANK YOU !!! Your music has made me the person that I am now. Through all of my life you’ve allways been with me and within me, since the moment I got my very first audiocassette with Hunting High And Low on it in 80′s. The last show in Moscow nearly crushed me down (in a good way, I’m OK -)), it was so tremendous, moving, bittersweet and sincere. Those words that Morten sad were really truth, you’ve been a part of our lives as much as we (your fans) have been a part of your lives. You will always be in our hearts and souls as long as we shall live. All the words in the world cannot express what I feel for you. Takk!!!! Remember us, your russians fans. We look forward to see u again someday, together or solo, it doesn’t really matter, at least for me. I respect your desion, you have deserved your right to do whatever you want. Morten, the biggest thanks and respect for that incredible show to you. I’ve never seen anything that is more beautiful than your smile, your voice is always in my head. Love you. There is a “forever thing” – you are, guys!!!
Goodbye a-ha
We will miss you
Best wishes for you
Thank you so much for the concert!!! It was really great! But at the same time it was very sad to see you for the last time. I won`t forget you… Thank you for brightening my life. P.S. My sister is two years old and when I ask her what her favourite band is, she says: a-ha…
