A Butterfly symbolizes metamorphosis and freedom. Mysterious and beautiful
wings of summer transgress the boundaries of existence, for these creatures
are the essence of change and transformation.
For me, music is a journey and a teacher. I am always learning and
discovering new ways to make a song or a piece of music and working with
other musicians who inspire me is the heart of my musical journey. Whilst
working with the members of my band, Jane South, Peter Shoulder and Alex
Beamont on the live Rocking Horse set last year, I was so inspired and
enthused by these wonderful musicians and their precious contribution to the
songs, that I asked them to work with me on a special record.
The record is called Butterfly and it is a collection of ten acoustic songs
old and new. Through the process of reinterpreting the songs from my Rocking
Horse album for the live set, we found a delicate haunting sound. I felt
it would be exciting to explore this way of working and see if we could make
an entire record based on the idea of acoustic reinterpretation.
We revisited some of the songs on the Rocking Horse album such as æOne Day At
A TimeÆ and Rocking Horse. We also re-worked Wings in Motion from my
Tigermouthalbum and WillowÆs Song from The Wicker Man film soundtrack. Other
songs on the album are brand new such as the title track Butterfly. I believe
that the acoustic versions of the songs have a power and beauty of their own.
Butterfly is a simple album which captures the spirit and performance of our
live set.
I hope that you enjoy this record as it is for those of you who continue to
care for and support my music that I made the album. For the people who come
to our gigs and share our live shows, for my listeners who send messages of
support and encouragement and of course all of you who continue to understand
and cherish my music.
After all, without you, making music would be like watching a butterfly
in the dark.
