Liner Notes

ok shaking the rust out a bit..

I am reading the book "Creative Ambush" that you may have seen on facebook ads... actually a good read!, one of the chapters talks about how much creatives take heat from others about what we do... one of the comments was a father telling his children "Don't chase butterflies, don't be a fool" and it reminded me of when I took my son Eric at 7 yrs old to go chasing butterflies as we always have them go by a park near by in september... I will always remember that day, and I will always encourage people to "chase butterflies" , weather that is a dream, or a hobby, or anything that makes you feel good.
will add more verse when I can think of something ! if anyone has ideas, please drop them in the comments!

DAW: Cakewalk by Bandlab
Synths: ANA2
Drums: Addictive Drums (Reel machine)

Lyrics

Chasing Butterflies

Meet me where the river bends,
Where the sunlight never ends.
Lose ourselves in love’s embrace,
Time can't wait, we'll leave no trace.

Let's go chasing butterflies
running free beneath the skies
Let's go chasing butterflies
just you and i
just you and i

Barefoot in the meadow green,
Every whisper feels like a dream.
Laughing as the world fades out,
you're my only one, there is no more doubt.

(x2)
Let's go chasing butterflies
running free beneath the skies
Let's go chasing butterflies
just you and i
just you and i

Been a while but glad to hear a song of yours. This made me happy. I listened to it three times in a row

Digging the echoey synthwave vibe. Great start to the month, could easily make this into a longer song with more parts.

Love this! ❤️

@cblack 3w

Goth vibes for sure. Synthwave?

This is exactly my type of music, when I'm not listening to metal. Even without the backstory, "Let's go chasing butterflies" is a great line, and performed brilliantly.

Alrighty - I totally understand the necessity of shaking off the rust. Mission accomplished. I appreciate the backstory to this tune and it's heartwarming. Knowing the backstory infuses a bit of warmth in the coldness that electronic tunes can sometimes emit. I used AD too and have the Reel Machine. Nice use of it here. It grooves just right and has that nostalgic 80s vibe that I so appreciate and never really tire of. Nice work, my man.
