The Butterfly

(Tony Lawrie)

The symbolism of the Butterfly and its natural characteristics is used as sad and lamentable ballet lyrics about how we can deny ourselves thru feelings of unworthiness etc the love we so desire until it is all too late for us in life.

(1st Verse)
The Butterfly!
Like Trust... Fragile
Like Love... Fleeting
Like Happiness... Elusive
Always lost and aimless in the sky
But magnificent to the eye
Was always your Beautiful Buterfly

(2nd Verse)
Seeming unreachable
Chasing, but never catching
While in the sky
Yet, easily captured 
Once landed close by
Was always your Beautiful Butterfly

(3rd Verse)
In life's full bloom
A number of times you glimpsed it
In the clear blue summer sky
Minnowing
Flapping
Fluttering 
Twirling 
Always magnificent to your eye
And then it landing
Its wings twitching nearby
Your Beautiful Butterfly 

(4th Verse)
And once landed
Oh! The joy to ever have
The longing to forever hold
The endless desire to touch
All denied cos of past ugliness, fear, and pain
To ever lose, to kill, to crush
Your Beautiful Butterfly

(5th Verse)
Then suddenly one autumn day!
No longer fragile
No longer fleeting
No longer elusive 
It flutters and lands straight from the sky
Right into your hands 
Your Beautiful Butterfly 

(6th Verse)
But now there's no summer flower upon to rest
No summer bloom left to caress
So although, at last
Finally, within your grasp
Too late you feel it flutters by
For your Beautiful Butterfly 

(Last Verse)
And so right there!
Never having
Never holding
Never touching
Never loving
You allow to both wither and die
Your once Beautiful Butterfly!

My old friend - Mr Blue!

By Tony Lawrie

The song is a standard 8 bar blues verse with a standard 12 bar blues Chorous that, using personification, captures the history, musicality, and nature of the gendre of the Blues. Not all verses need be performed and the order of the verses can be varied. The song leaves lots of scope for featuring solos by various musicians and instruments during actual performance.

Happily Never After (Duet)

By Karianne Gabaldon

These lyrics show both sides to a rocky relationship; not just what the man feels, and not just what the woman feels. It’s a fun little duet, but it’s more twisted than lovely.

Queendom of Contentment

By Erika Poling

How I created the song/lyrics: The first verse starts out lower and works it's way up to a soprano C or higher (one-sided). The pre-chorus is higher pitched also. But then, the chorus switches to a melody similar to "Heavy Cross," by the band Gossip. The second verse is similar in pitch (high) to the second part of the first verse; but the second part of the second verse (starting with "Oh, my violet sky") is a lower pitch like the first part of the first verse. I think incorporating a "Billie Eilish" whisper style with a lower, stronger, and harder style-- it would really bring out the meaning of the song and make it more artistic.

If it Helps You Sleep

By Brian Hendrix

I never could sleep well. Even as a kid, I'd just toss and turn. Not sure what it is. So last night I'm struggling to sleep, and wondering if I should click on YouTube for some "tips to help you sleep" type of deal. I thought, well, as long as it helps you sleep. So this song popped into my mind. This isn't a true story for me, though is for a ton of people. It's a genderless song that could apply to men or women. For me, I'd never swallow it up like the guy in this song. I'd call her out quick! The real me is about that reckoning. Songwriter me is more magnanimous.
