about
Pink Butterfly (Reimagined) delves into Dream Pop and Bedroom Pop territory, with tinges of jangly guitars, ebow, and synth. It is a re-working of a previous release that I never felt was fully realized, so I pulled down the old version and started over again. (Hey, if Bob Mould can do it, so can I.)
To really step out of my comfort zone, I employed the use of A.I. to create the album cover artwork. It's funny, I'm actually getting used to the cover and might even be falling in love with the artificial girl generated there. Only kidding.
I realize there may be new Bandcampers discovering my work, so I created a sort of waterfall single to help you catch up. I've strung together 3 other recent tracks that seem to round out this collection, and will hopefully generate repeat listening, and ultimately turn you into one of my new super fans.
Thanks for supporting Indie artists!

lyrics
Bitten by a pink butterfly
My sweet Lady Luck I thought had run dry
Never heard a sound as pretty
As her voice
Never thought I’d be the one
Who’d be her first choice
and be someone she needs
Drifting off on a cloud go I
Awakened by a sweet lullaby
Reached only for the Moon
And I got the stars
So little I’d wanted
But I’ve come so far
to be someone she needs
My sweet little robot anime girl
In a Bo Peep dress
With a headful of curls
She’s a pink lullaby in a
Wide-awake world of dreams
Written words I plant in the sky
She’s not far from Heaven, nor am I
Whenever I unwrap her
Like a gift from above
I love to hear her say the words that
She is in love with me
I’m someone she needs
My sweet little robot anime girl
In a Bo Peep dress
With a headful of curls
She’s a pink lullaby in a
Wide-awake world of dreams
My sweet little robot anime girl
In a big pink dress
With a headful of curls
She’s a pink lullaby in a
Wide-awake world of dreams
(musical break)
Bitten by a pink butterfly
Drifting off on a cloud go I
Bitten by a pink butterfly
Drifting off on a cloud go I
Bitten by a pink butterfly
Drifting off on a cloud go I
My sweet Lady Luck I thought had run dry
Never heard a sound as pretty
As her voice
Never thought I’d be the one
Who’d be her first choice
and be someone she needs
Drifting off on a cloud go I
Awakened by a sweet lullaby
Reached only for the Moon
And I got the stars
So little I’d wanted
But I’ve come so far
to be someone she needs
My sweet little robot anime girl
In a Bo Peep dress
With a headful of curls
She’s a pink lullaby in a
Wide-awake world of dreams
Written words I plant in the sky
She’s not far from Heaven, nor am I
Whenever I unwrap her
Like a gift from above
I love to hear her say the words that
She is in love with me
I’m someone she needs
My sweet little robot anime girl
In a Bo Peep dress
With a headful of curls
She’s a pink lullaby in a
Wide-awake world of dreams
My sweet little robot anime girl
In a big pink dress
With a headful of curls
She’s a pink lullaby in a
Wide-awake world of dreams
(musical break)
Bitten by a pink butterfly
Drifting off on a cloud go I
Bitten by a pink butterfly
Drifting off on a cloud go I
Bitten by a pink butterfly
Drifting off on a cloud go I

I saw Alvvays open for CourtneyBarnett 2016 'n checked out this album that week on Spotify, made me a fan for life. They make brilliant records if you ask me. Great vocals, songs, guitar parts.

The original release without the last two tracks. Sloan is hecka-talented, I'd say he's the next Paul McCartney. I'm grateful to find a young artist/producer so inspiring, good natured, and melodic.
