‘Butterfly’ - Euan Blackman’s latest single is perfectly timed to the slow, care-free tune of summer
With summer peeking around the corner, Euan Blackman has conveniently released his latest single “Butterfly” just in time to enjoy it in all the warmth the song evokes. By taking us through vivid scenes of highway skylines and starry nights, Euan poignantly compares the kinks of everyday life to his natural flaws and his willingness to embrace all of them.
Bringing in slow percussion, and folk-like guitar strums, all woven together in a laid-back tempo like it has all the time in the world, the song is perfect for a lazy summer day in all the best ways. Euan's gentle voice immediately harks back memories of Cat Stevens and adds to the overall charm of the song.
Overall, the song is a light-hearted acceptance of imperfection. Understanding that there will be times when you can't please everyone is a hard pill to swallow. But the quicker you embrace your flaws and your own humanity, the easier it is to enjoy life. Euan Blackman manages to translate this feeling through “Butterfly” both sonically and metaphorically.
