a-ha "Butterfly Butterfly" (the last hurrah) video makes its debut via MySpace/Facebook

a-ha's last single "Butterfly Butterfly" currently Top 10 in Norway and Top 15 in Germany set for Sept 20the release in the UK and from the 2 cd set "25", video, makes its debut. The video directed by Steve Barron who directed all of a-ha's videos from 1985-1991, shows the band saying goodbye and also acknowledging where they have come from, something most artists never do. Once again amazing cinematography and imagery are used for a Steve Barron video, i just realized that no one knows how to properly shoot Music Videos anymore, no one has good cinema skills, but steve has it. a-ha is seen today, but often looks back in the video at their past, moments from "take on me" "the sun always shines on tv" and "cry wolf" are seen, the cartoon images are seen on the walls behind a-ha today, the "hand" from the comic book world, makes a new "return" and a very emotional classic ending to provide closure for the members, excellent camera work again on capturing the emotion of the members looking at each other in their last video moments. A true classic video to close the book on a-ha's video diary, and on with the rest of the final tour winding down to a last hurrah December 4th in Norway.
