Transcription

Music video

Much like many of A-ha's early music videos (including that of "Take On Me"), the music video for "Butterfly, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah)" was directed by Steve Barron,[2] and features stop-frame animation by student animator Stefan Ramirez. The video shows the band playing under a bridge (shot on location in Shoreham-by-Sea) amidst clips from previous music videos for Take On Me, The Sun Always Shines on T.V., Manhattan Skyline and Cry Wolf (all directed by Barron) intercut and projected onto the concrete pillars. The video ends with the band embracing one last time before leaping into the air, transforming into butterflies and flying away.

Barron said, of his involvement:

"It was really nice to work with A-ha again, especially as I had not made a music video for such a long time... I wanted to create a really emotional film to accompany the sentiments of the track. To hopefully bring a tear to the eye from, especially, the fans... I asked Morten, Pal and Mags to embrace, get close, almost uncomfortable and then silently say goodbye. It was certainly very powerful on the day. It seemed to sum up how much they had been through together and still stayed as one."[3]
