about

Our latest single, butterfly (so free), is a super fun, high energy, dance track that was written with our good friend Max Byrne (Golden Vessel) after a delicious dinner. There must have been some magic in the ramen we had because we went into the studio straight after and wrote and recorded the whole song that night. We started out by playing together on the piano and nylon guitar and came up with the chord progression, which felt like it had the potential for a lot of liveliness and movement. We then switched the piano out for a lovely Juno-106 synth patch and knew straight away that all it needed was a simple beat to channel that energy. The melodies and lyrics spilled out from there as we decided to personify that feeling of being free and uninhibited to a butterfly. At its core, the track is about having trust in the people you love. I’ve heard people say that their partner is uncomfortable when they go out and have fun without them. That’s crazy! You should be able to have full trust and respect for your partner to do whatever makes them happy.

lyrics

[Verse]
I got the keys and I’m on the way
(And I’m on the way)
I’m feeling free and I got today
(And I got today)

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I’ve never seen it
But you’re always talking
And I can’t admit it
But I’ll help you get away
You’re so free but you’re so mine

[Chorus]
You’re so free but you’re so mine
You’re so free but I don’t mind
You need space and I got the time
You’re so free but you’re so mine
You’re a butterfly, you gotta fly

[Verse]
Cruising for miles now I’m halfway
(Only half the way)
The road is longer but it’s not the same
(Still it’s not the same)

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I’ve never seen it
But you’re always talking
And I can’t admit it
But I’ll help you get away
You’re so free but you’re so mine

[Chorus]
You’re so free but you’re so mine
You’re so free but I don’t mind
You need space and I got the time
You’re so free but you’re so mine
You’re a butterfly, you gotta fly

[Instrumental Break]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You’re a butterfly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You’re a butterfly

[Breakdown]
You’re so free but you’re so mine
You’re so free but I don’t mind
You need space and I got the time

[Chorus]
You’re so free but you’re so mine
You’re a butterfly, you gotta fly
