Butterfly Ballads



Walking through the psychedelic colored rowhouses and gardens of Charles Village in the spring and seeing butterflies drift by puts me in the mood for these spring songs...

Beautiful Butterfly - Baldwin
"Let me be your happy butterfly after which the children run..." This wonderful song was discovered on the highly recommend Piccadilly Sunshine compilation.


Butterfly Baby - Bobby Rydell
"Butterfly baby.... don't fly around..." Fun fifties teen pop about a social butterfly girlfriend who gets around!


Butterfly - The Hollies
"We met on the shore of a lemonade lake...Butterfly, flutter by, butterfly by..." A slower paced song by the hitmakers known as the Hollies!
