A-Ha - Butterfly, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah) - Video
A quarter-century later and A-Ha comes full circle. "Acknowledging the bell [they] can't unring."
With the single appreciating good success across the globe, now the video for "Butterfly, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah)" is released with animation from the ground-breaking second version of "Take On Me." Sketching back from the past with clips from other earlier videos including the sequel to "Take On Me," "The Sun Always Shines on TV" we see Mags, Paul and Morten transforming into the next phase of their lives.
Directed by Steve Barron who directed other A-ha classics like "Take On Me," "Hunting High and Low," and the Greenfield/King Everly Bros. cover "Crying in the Rain," as well as videos for artists such as Toto, Paul McCartney, Madonna, ZZ Top, The Dire Straits and a long, long list of others.
Looking back and moving on. There could no more a better fitted ending be for one of the greatest pop groups of all-time.
A-Ha, we are the better for having seen, known and heard. For the 25 years and all of the songs, Thank you! We look forward to the next.

A-Ha - Butterfly, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah) - Lyrics
Butterfly, butterfly
Flying into the wind
You can be sure of it
That's no place to begin
Over thinking every little thing
Acknowledge the bell you can't unring
Tomorrow, you don't have to say what you're thinking
You don't have to mean what you say
Butterfly, butterfly
Flutter in to the skies
Butterfly, butterfly
Their molecular cries
Chrysalis dreams waiting on the fifth in-star
These stained glass wings could only take you so far
You don't have to say that it matters
You don't have to turn something in
Stay with it through thick and thin
Butterfly, begin
Butterfly, butterfly
Tomorrow, you don't have to mean what you say
Left without a reason to stay
Comes the last hurrah
Here's our last hurrah
Butterfly, butterfly
You can be sure of it
Butterfly
