Chasing Butterflies

Liner Notes

Another new favorite--came out pretty well, methinks.

It occurs to me that I've done SEVERAL songs about butterflies (and bees) over the years. I think it's cuz of my concerns about the environment, etc. Without butterflies and bees, forget it, boys and girls.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the song!

CHASING BUTTERFLIES

Words & Music

At the first light of dawn,
I start to roam,
Seeking something that will feel
more like home.
In every corner, in every street,
Chasing dreams that flutter high,
Like butterflies in the sky
I’m dancing to life’s
rhythmic beat.

CHORUS:
CHASING BUTTERFLIES,
through the night,
In the pursuit of love,
under the moonlight.
In this dance, I find my way,
Love’s a rhythm that sets me free,
In this chase, I find the real me.
CHASING BUTTERFLIES,
come what may.

Underneath the starlit scene,
I’m following a dream,
so serene.
Each flutter, a hint of hope,
Through the streets,
I glide and sway,
In this chase,
night turns to day.
On this journey,
I learn to cope.

CHORUS:
CHASING BUTTERFLIES,
through the night,
In the pursuit of love,
under the moonlight.
In this dance,
I find my way,
Love’s a rhythm that
sets me free,
In this chase,
I find the real me.
CHASING BUTTERFLIES,
come what may.

Oh, elusive like a melody,
Love’s a rhythm
that sets us free.
In this dance,
we take our chance,
In every shadow,
in every crowd,
My heart’s whispering
your name out loud,
In pursuit of that sweet romance.

CHORUS:
CHASING BUTTERFLIES,
through the night,
In the pursuit of love,
under the moonlight.
In this dance,
I find my way,
Love’s a rhythm that
sets me free,
In this chase,
I find the real me.
CHASING BUTTERFLIES,
come what may.

I also liked listening to this romantic nostalgic song. Reminds me of many times I did the same as a child, and later as a romantic searcher for a soulmate.

@roddy 7w

I loved listening to this. It's a real summertime classic . The arrangement is just perfect for the lyrics.

@musicsongwriter 7w

Of course, so true about the nature. Beautiful song and delivery, Jerry. My new favourite of yours. Happy, fresh and gorgeous.

@sheslin 7w

Great title - it really grabbed me. I am getting big Beach Boy vibes and I love it. Nice lyrical pacing and I like the rhythm also - wonderful forward momentum in your song. Beautiful vocals and production. I love butterflies - they are so magical - and you really captured that in your song. I agree bees are essential but I recently got stung twice in the same finger and OMG - they are in my hosemobile 😢 I really enjoyed your song Jerry!

Nice breezy song! Your vocals are always distinctive, and always a treat. I really like the orchestration and how the words tumble out. I'm pretty crazy about butterflies and bees, too :)

@coolparadisoMod 7w

yeah me too on butterflies. they open the door to fine lyrics like this. nice easy delivery ties it up nicely.

@lyricslinger 7w

Sumptuous music and great dreamy lyrics. The Beach Boys came to my mind, and then see that sbs has mentioned them too. Very nice sound

@sbs 7w

Got your Beach Boys sound on. Perfect song for that. Really enjoyed how your handled your rhymes vocally. Nice mix!

you are the first to sing about butterflies since bob lind, whose elusive butterflies was one of my favorite songsbut he wasnt really singing about butterflies....he was simply alluding to them as symbls of love. but you are the real butterfly chaser. Still, like Mr. Lind, it is love, not butterflies, that you are chasing.
