Dungeness is one of my favourite places on the S coast of England- famous for shipwrecks. First attempt to use loops on the intro.

Butterfly`s Wing

hold hold summer`s wings
in the palm of your hand
give a name to all the sea leaves
in silence on the land

rags of rainbow colours
at her throat with ivory clasped
they whisper of slave traders
all gone down with her past

oh but her eyes
her eyes were the eyes on a butterfly`s wing
so bold without armour so driven by the wind

Dungeness Dungeness
when the storm brought her in
ever o`er the marshes
in strange tongues the wind did sing

Emily they named her
and she grew as quick as flint
made pictures in the shingle
of unimaginable things

oh but her eyes
her eyes were the eyes on a butterfly`s wing
so bold without armour so driven by the wind

a vision a vision
for fishermen who never dream
by the needle and the blade
the doubts of many she unseamed

she moved like the water
that only makes you thirst
Emily I`d claim you
if the sea don`t claim you first

oh but her eyes
her eyes were the eyes on a butterfly`s wing
so bold without armour so driven by the wind

hold hold summer`s wings
in the palm of your hand
give a name to all the sea leaves
in silence on the land

Robert,

This is a very cool song - good vocal. Love the way you worked the loops into the framework. Nice job!

Great song, beautiful folk delivery and the loops have worked. I really liked the build. Holding back instruments at the start has really worked. The song started good, and then unexpectedly got better. Bonus!

Nice job.

Thanks - this was fun to work on in BIAB as I had no thought on the instruments to use other than a " feel" to aim for.
I had almost given up on integrating the loops until realizing that "gain"and "volume" are not the same thing blush happy that it works for the song.
