Boucher, born June 2, 1979, is the middle child of seven daughters. The name "Butterfly" was a suggestion from a friend of the family. Her mother didn't initially like the name but kept seeing butterflies in pictures, on clothing, etc. before the birth. In later years, Butterfly's sister had a band, The Mercy Bell, in which Butterfly played bass guitar. In 2004 and 2005, Boucher toured the U.S. and Canada, opening for Sarah McLachlan and Barenaked Ladies.
Butterfly currently resides in the United States. She released her first track of the album, "I Can't Make Me," in the UK first. It did poorly. However, when she released that track along with "Another White Dash," her U.S. success was assured. While a second album is in the pipeline, there is no official date for its release.
Boucher sang David Bowie's "Changes" with Bowie on the soundtrack for Shrek 2.
Boucher sang "I'm Different" on the "For The Kids Too" CD which was released in 2004 and is currently available on iTunes.
A remix of Boucher's single, "I Can't Make Me" is featured on "Charmed: The Book Of Shadows," a soundtrack from the television show on The WB.
Boucher's songs "Life is Short" and "Never Leave Your Heart Alone" were featured on the hit show "Grey's Anatomy" during the first season. And the track "Bitter Song" was featured during season 3 of that same show.
From July 22 to Aug 6, 2008, Boucher toured with nine other artists from Tennessee as part of the Ten out of Tenn tour.

A Walk Outside
Butterfly Boucher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which is more important in the long run?
Do you really wanna talk about it?
Take it to the back veranda
Have a drink and talk around it
In the end it doesn't matter
In the end we all go home
Music's in the kiss we hold
Which came first, the love or the love song?
I'm sorry, I guess I was wrong
Let us find a tune without a sound
Find a place that no one's found
Pick it up and put it down
In the end it doesn't matter
In the end they all go home
I thought about it for a minute
Music's in the kiss we hold
Music is a walk outside
Aah, Ahh
Aah, Ahh, Ahh
Clever lines and clever lyrics
All boil down to what goes in them
If they find life then so do we
Aah...
Yeah, uh-huh, I think we're alive
Music is a walk outside
Think about it for a minute
In the end we all go home
Music's in the things that matter
Hear it in the kiss we hold
Music is a walk outside
Which came first, the love or the love song?
Which came first, the love or the love song?
Which came first, the love or the love song?
Which came first, the love or the love song?
The lyrics of Butterfly Boucher's "A Walk Outside" talk about the timeless question of which comes first - love or the love song? It explores the importance of both and the fact that ultimately, neither of them really matter in the grand scheme of things. The first verse presents the question and suggests taking the discussion elsewhere, away from the pressures of society. The chorus reinforces the idea that it doesn't matter which came first, because the power of music binds them together. The second verse continues to wrestle with the same question, before offering a solution - finding a tune that is pure and untouched. The bridge emphasizes the importance of the content of a song, rather than the cleverness of its lyrics. Then, the final chorus emphasizes that music is about life - the things that matter, the things we hold, and the world outside.
This song speaks to the universal experience of love and music, and how they intertwine to create a powerful emotional experience. It presents a paradox - the question of which comes first, love or the love song, is elusive and unanswerable, yet the answer lies in understanding that they are inseparable entities. This song encourages us to sit back and appreciate the intrinsic value of music and love in our life, and how their presence enriches us.
