Reading stories of migrants I thought the Coyotes (people traffickers) shouldn`t be the only ones with cool animal spirit names.
I know very little about Latin music; Scott as you`ll hear, is more adept in the genre... still fun to try something outside the box for our final song of the year.
Thanks to all who listen and offer constructive comments!

Butterfly and Jaguar

butterfly and jaguar
came to a neon shore
to drink without armour
dance without claws
dance without claws

so soon my mariposa
the coyote will take you away
to the land of myth and money
your tattooed wings will fade
wings will fade

butterfly
Santa Elena`s bells toll goodbye
jaguar
will your black magic reach as far
as the look in her father`s eyes
her father`s eyes

will you return my amadora
I follow on the beat up train
prowl the bars our cloudforest
til night turns to day
night turns to day

butterfly and jaguar
came to a border wall
one will fly one shapeshift
into a brave new underworld
brave new underworld

butterfly
Santa Elena`s bells toll goodbye
jaguar
will your black magic reach as far
as the look in her father`s eyes
her father`s eyes

Robert & Scott,

All the hallmarks of a R&S song - cool backing, an interesting story told with an even more interesting lyric and tasteful guitar woven throughout.

The Latin tracks sound good - though the percussion at times is a bit busy for a "story song". And the vocal gets a little lost in them a couple of places.

A very cool lyric. (as always)

Scott's guitar sound great - nice amounts of reverb and delay to fit nicely into the tracks and some sweet playing.

Y'all have had a good year. I'm sure that will continue into 2020...

Excellent collaboration. Very musical piece. Smooth vocals. Scott's guitar worked very well! I like everything about it, but one item. To my taste drums are a little busy. Otherwise, CONGRATULATIONS on this unusual and beautiful tune! Enjoyed it a lot.

Floyd,
I`m in agreement on the percussion needing a tweak ( and, as usual, it takes a discerning listener to get me hearing drums in relation to the whole mix).Its toned down on the verses now.Thanks for your positive comments- on this and all our efforts this year!

Shoot me if you will but the vocals aren't loud'n'clear enough given the percussion and delayed guitar surrounding it.
It may be a simple matter of EQing a little presence to lift it above.
I found I was distracted by the stuff happening around the vocal and couldn't focus on it easily.
If I weren't interested in hearing the narrative, and let's face it the preamble made the narrative unmissable, I'd not have had a problem though.


Cheers

Excellent song to end the year!

I love the latin groove, I used to do a lot of latin instrumentals back in the day.

I agree with Ray, the vocal is hard to hear in places. Might be too much competition with Scott's (excellent) guitar, not sure.
Ray mentioned EQing to lift the vocal, another technique is to EQ the lead guitar, you could have a dynamic EQ that cuts the frequencies in the guitar that conflict with the vocal, and side chain it with the vocal so the EQ cut only happens when the vocal is active.

But, great song guys, enjoyed!

Hi Rob,hi Scott,

that is a truly great tune. A very good write, well-sung, very nice work on the guitar. Yes, maybe the voice should be a bit more forward, but that's a matter of taste, I think. And I always find it very difficult to find the perfect level for the vocals, too.

A very good song and a very good post at the end of the year.

Merry Christmas to you and yours and, of course, a happy and healthy 2020.

Take care,

Stefan

Thanks for listening...and especially for noticing the tune is unusual, Misha!
I`m sure there are lots of songs in Spanish which take on the thorny migrant subject with more realism... I have a long distance and view that makes it easier to add the romance.
p.s.drums not so dominant now.

No shots fired...you are out of range over in Oz!
Being a new genre for me I processed the vocals very differently than usual- trying for smooth I may have ended up with fuzzy.
There`s a revamped vocal on the take now-I think its easier to hear the lyrics.
Glad you were interested in where the story went.

Dave,

Both Scott and I wanted his guitar to be heard on the verses ( glad you think its some fine work), but yes, there`s some conflict with that guy singing!
As mentioned to RayC I`ve reworked the vocal - gone back to my regular chain- it seems improved,though I didn`t change anything else in the mix.
That idea to filter out EQ clashes with the guitar sounds good; I`m not at that skill level yet.
I`m pleased you liked the song and appreciate your comments.

Robert and Scott, by the time I got to listen I think you had already tweaked the vocals and couldn't hear any issues! Latin percussion is a hard thing to work with, it seems to either be too little or too much! It may be a little "busy" in places but overall I felt it sounded pretty good! Great performances by you and Scott! Thanks, Torrey

Very nice rhythm, vocals, and lead guitar. As far as I'm concerned everything sounds great.

You both should be very proud of this one.

After listening to your song & reading the posts of others...
I must admit I didn't hear the imperfections mentioned...
Maybe you fixed them...
Or maybe I was so involved with following your fascinating vocal & lyrics...
And listening to Scott's guitar work...
That I missed them.

Even now, listening a 2nd time...
I'm so caught in the performance & story...
All I can say is...
Its a good collaboration.

Listened to the remix - sounded very good to me. Good vocal,
poetic lyrics and some pretty playing over a nice latin beat.

Enjoyed it - happy new year to you both.

Hi Stefan,
A clearer vocal track is posted now. Yes, its a tradeoff sometimes between clarity of lyrics and overall feel of the song.
Thanks for listening, commenting and your good wishes; all the best to you too!

Thank you Torrey.
I sure hope folks can still hear how subtle and melodic Scott`s playing is on the new mix; he puts together some lovely passages both behind the vocal and soloing.

Scott C. knows just how to flavor a song like this with mystery.

The song got off to a rocky start. This was allot of fun to do and required a little research as the Latin genre is an art form in itself.

Thanks so much for the awesome comments on the guitars contributions. Ed you are too kind.

Loved Roberts lyric and vocal on this. I think he did and excellent job on the mix and instrument selection.

Happy New Year everyone

As usual, musically and lyrically interesting. I enjoyed the song.

Listening through headphones was a bit of challenge - there was a lot going on at the same time, especially during the vocal. That made it a bit difficult to focus, as everything seemed to compete for my attention.

In contrast, the instrumentation during the guitar solo made it easy to focus on the guitar, and not be distracted by the other instruments.

Clearly, other listeners on this forum handle musical complexity better than me. wink

Thanks for listening and commenting, Soundchaser.
David- the mix could be simplified more though we might lose that Latin feeling.
I appreciate you letting us know it still sounds busy in places...have to leave it be for now though.

Interesting changeup for you, but still your wonderful insight and words show through. Enjoyed it a lot. "Tattooed wings" was my favorite image among many.

These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
