1) MICHELLE is a fresh musical collective hailing from New York City. Weaving in and out of R&B, Pop, Jazz and Indie sounds, the group of six pays homage to these genres through 70s inspired basslines, driving drum beats, plush synths and enticing vocals. Having recently celebrated their first year on the scene as an ensemble, MICHELLE is already solidifying itself as a strong current in a new wave of emerging NYC staples. MICHELLE’s unique stylings are the result of fine-tuned production and arrangements by Julian Kaufman and Charlie Kilgore, with singers Jamee Lockard, Layla Ku, Sofia D’Angelo, and Emma Lee churning out illustrative lyrics and powerful harmonics. Written and recorded in Kaufman’s bedroom over the span of two weeks, their debut album “HEATWAVE” captures a compilation of sentimental moments – snapshots of youth through a New York summer, all immediately recognizable to those who’ve lived them (and those that have wished to).  

2) German singer Tanja Shitawey (née Hewer) (born February 15, 1972 in Villingen-Schwenningen), she represented Germany in the ESC 2001 with "Wer Liebe lebt" ("To Live for Love").
3) Michelle McManus from the UK was the UK Pop Idol winner in 2003 and is best known for "All This Time", just credited 'Michelle' on her releases.

4) Dutch singer Michelle Courtens participated at the ESC 2001, she did perform "Out on my own" to place 18.

5) Michelle Narine from Trinidad released the track "Standing Here All Alone" in 1996 in the UK.

6) Norwegian singer Michelle Purvis did perform "Baby don't stop the music" in the Norwegian selection to ESC 2008.

7) A four piece band from Spain that formed in 2000. They released their first full length album in 2007, titled Rock 'n' Roll Babilonia

Schmetterlinge sind frei

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sperr mein Herz nicht ein
Deine Liebe macht nicht frei
Manchmal ist sie schwer wie Blei
Dann will ich nur fort
Von dir
Bleib dir selbst doch treu
Leb dein Leben nicht durch mich
Weil sonst unser Traum zerbricht

Das weisst du leider nicht.

Schmetterlinge sind frei
Sie schaun nur ganz kurz vorbei
Sie ziehn mit den Wolken
Und tanzen im WInd
Schmetterlinge sind frei
Ich sag dir leise Goodbye
Weil Flügel in meiner Seele sind

Du Gabst mir nie die Chance
Meinen eignen Weg zu gehn
Ganz alleine aufzusteh'n
Wenn ich einmal fiel
Warum,
Ich bin nicht so schwach
Ich hab's bis hierher geschafft
Weiß das ich aus eigner Kraft
Alleine fliegen kann
Schmetterlinge sind frei

Schmetterlinge sind frei
Sie schaun nur ganz kurz vorbei
Sie ziehn mit den Wolken
Und tanzen im WInd
Schmetterlinge sind frei
Ich sag dir leise Goodbye
Weil Flügel in meiner Seele sind

Lass mich in Frieden gehn
Wahre Liebe sie hält nicht fest
Weil sie ohne Freiheit stirbt
Und dich verlässt

Schmetterlinge sind frei
Sie schaun nur ganz kurz vorbei
Sie ziehn mit den Wolken
Und tanzen im WInd
Schmetterlinge sind frei
Ich sag dir leise Goodbye
Weil Flügel in meiner Seele sind

Weil Flügel in meiner Seele sind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Michelle's song "Schmetterlinge sind frei" speak to the idea of freedom in love and relationships. Michelle urges her partner not to imprison her heart with their love because sometimes it can feel heavy like lead, and she just wants to be free from the weight of it. She encourages her partner to stay true to themselves and not to live their life through her, as it could cause their dream together to break. Michelle likens herself to a butterfly, which flies freely, looking briefly, and then moves on with the winds. She decides to say goodbye to her partner, not because she doesn't love them, but because she needs to follow her own path and have the freedom to fly on her own.

Like a butterfly nice

Walking with you by the seaside city

Hopefully it will be your holiday

In the bright city of the south island

A white boutique cafe like a butterfly

To fly

I will not leave

I will not catch it.

Because I really like you

I will not leave

I will not catch it.

I want to fly freely

Take me out to the park and walk with you

If possible from my room

Dancing in the two roller coasters

A white fountain like a rainbow

Can I get it?

I will not leave

I will not catch it.

Because I really like you

I will not leave

I will not catch it.

I want to fly freely

On a white sand beach like a butterfly

To fly

I will not leave

I will not catch it.

Because I really like you

I will not leave

I will not get caught.

I want to fly freely

In the case of
I want to fly freely
