In their formative years Butterflies On Strings evolved from an electronic indie duo consisting of singer Allan on guitar with Patrick then on bass, using programmed synths and electronic drums. Patrick later made the shift to guitar and keys, opting to abandon the programming in favour of drafting in two new band members in the form of Fox and Cunningham as the band set about redefining their sound. Butterflies On Strings were recently featured as Gary Crowley's 'London Calling' act for his London feature on his BBC London Radio show. The band were then featured on Gill Mills' Best of Myspace show and were invited to play Danielle Perry and Kate Lawler's Kerrang & Q Radio night in East London.
The bands debut single "What Did John Stuart Mill Say Again?" is brimming with catchy hooks, exquisite harmonies and a hopeful energy that takes influence from both sides of the atlantic. The classic tunesmithery of the best of britpop meets the refinement of american indie to create something that is both fun and beautiful. It also hints at the energy and intensity of their live show that has become a staple part of the london music scene. 'What Did John Stuart Mill Say Again?' (out on April 1st 2011) is available through Rough Trade Records and the online stores.
The band currently resides in London, UK.

Butterflies Lyrics
I was just coastin', never really goin' anywhere
Caught up in a web
I was gettin' kind of used to stayin' there
And out of the blue
I fell for you
Now you're liftin' me up, 'stead of holdin' me down
Stealin' my heart, 'stead of stealin' my crown
Untangled all the strings 'round my wings that were tied
I didn't know him and I didn't know me
Cloud nine was always out of reach
Now I remember what it feels like to fly
You give me butterflies
Kiss full of color, makes me wonder where you've always been
I was hiding in doubt 'til you brought me out of my chrysalis
And I came out new
All because of you
Now you're liftin' me up, 'stead of holdin' me down
Stealin' my heart, 'stead of stealin' my crown
Untangled all the strings round my wings that were tied
I didn't know him and I didn't know me
Cloud nine was always out of reach
Now I remember what it feels like to fly
You give me butterflies
Yeah, you give me butterflies
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Mm, mm
Now you're liftin' me up, 'stead of holdin' me down
You're takin' my hand, 'stead of takin' my crown
Untangled all the strings round my wings that were tied
I didn't know him and I didn't know me
Cloud nine was always out of reach
Now I remember what it feels like to fly
You give me butterflies
Mm, mm, mm
You give me butterflies
Mm, mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm

She's like Lana Del Rey meets country. I love it. So serene, magical and calm!

@meestamonsieur5357

@desireemacdonaldbartel7542
Yes yes yes! I want them to collab! Then I can die happy!
@binamrarajkonwar6976
exactly.
@Lizzie-ve7kt
Now THIS is country music. Vivid storytelling, varied instruments, and the cherry on top that makes her iconic is that melodic voice. I love that her songs mean something. You can instantly tell it’s country not because she’s inserting a few y’all’s and southern cities into the lyrics, but because she’s immersing you in her story. THAT to me is what makes real, genuine country music. There’s a reason we all remember Dolly telling us that Jolene had auburn hair and Reba describing Fancy’s red velvet dress. God I wish more artists were actual artists rather than same clichéd, formulaic, auto-tuned bros farting out the same nonsensical and meaningless lyrics.
@nataliem1661
do you know any songs that have the same sound as this one?? bc i really love this song
@Lizzie-ve7kt
No 😭 I can’t think of anything else that quite has the same sound with the music, lyrics, and voice. Some of the parts of the song remind me a little bit of Sara Bareilles’ Love Song, but they’re definitely not that similar it’s just something about the beat that reminds me of it. Oh and Miranda Lambert’s Bluebird is a little reminiscent of this one too. I don’t think they’re super obvious or super similar comparisons but I do think some of the elements of each of those songs remind me a little bit of this one and Bluebird is another great country song with a beautiful voice, music, and clever lyrics. Sorry that I can’t think of anything super similar but that’s another thing I love about Kacey’s music, it’s totally unique and 100% her. Her entire golden hour album is amazing (as are all her albums) and her first big single merry go round is so genius.
