Oh, that's a wonderfully poignant video for the fans. The shots of them in their early days looking so youthful contrasted with today's footage of them as middle aged men complete with lined faces......wonderful. And the hug at the end put a lump in my throat. I'll be there in Novenber to say goodbye to one of my favourite bands of all time......it'll be bittersweet but worth it.

I love A-Ha (Paul is my favourite) and feel sad that 25 years have flown by so quickly. But I'm not too keen on BB.

Me me me Loved Hunting High and Low. Such a shame that it's all over but this video is a really nice touch, must admit when I saw Take On Me characters and the huddle it made me cry.

Loved A-Ha ever since I first heard Take On Me, but never saw the video. Only saw them when they performed at some palladium performance in front of the Queen and they looked well fit in their tuxedos *swoon* . Loved Hunting High & Low, but love Scoundrel Days even more. I've Been Losing You is my all time favourite A-Ha song, just so timeless. I'm not too keen on the new single but the video really got to me. A-Ha were there for me during my years of abuse and I would listen to their albums and hope Morten would rescue me I have seen them live many times and my 13 year old Daughter likes them too. She has seen them 3 times so far (first time at Wembley when she was almost 6 years old and she boogied to Take On Me). I'm not too keen on their solo projects either, although I did see their solo performances when they played at the Royal Albert Hall. Best gig I've been to was when they played at the London Motor Show at the Excel Centre and I was front row and I took the best ever pictures and video of the band. Even if I were never to see them play live again, DockRock was superb. I have grown with them, their songs mean more to me now than they did when I was young, and not really understanding their lyrics. I think A-Ha were ahead of their time and labelled unfairly as a boy-band. They are equally talented, original craftsmen. I remember how they were mocked by the UK media when they reunited and released Minor Earth, Major Sky and I was dreading the worst when I bought the album only to be completely surprised and delighted by such an outstanding and understated classic album. One thing that makes me so mad about them is their choice of singles to release. They have some wonderful songs which deserve a wider audience.

I love my Hubby of 17 years, but I have been hopelessly devoted to 3 men for 25 years
