about

The 2nd track is by Roxanne de Bastion

"Next up is Roxanne de Bastion's, "Butterfly" a playful theme that brings with it a very unique soundscape to be explored. It is like living in the age of faery, it has a lightness of feel almost like a soft breeze of a Spring meadow. The lyrics bring feelings of enviable youth, a simple experience and encounter, almost the wonder a child might have with the butterfly itself, "I tried to win your love, but it did got to waste.. we get along so well, we must not like my face.." There is a hint of psychedelia in some of the backing track,it is an homage to nature, love, and hippy culture and gently wrestles warm emotions from what seems like an innocuous thought, which takes a large amount of skill" Peter Taranaski Shedancesinthemind blog

Roxanne de Bastion tours throughout the UK, Europe and the US, all on trains and buses. The young troubadour self-released her debut album in 2013 and has since then been championed by Tom Robinson on BBC6, John Kennedy on XFM, Ruth Barnes on Amazing Radio. Roxanne's compositions are rooted in the 1960's, but the tone of voice is very much her own.

Butterfly – lyrics
Roxanne de Bastion

To make a Butterfly land on me
It always passes by, flies freely

How can she not know I'd take care?
How can she not know I'd be good for her?

I tried to win your love, but it did go to waste
We get along so well, you must not like my face...

How can she not know I'd take care?
How can she not know I'd be good for her?

With every word I wrote I gave a piece of me
They now stick in my throat, you spat them back at me

How can she not know I'd take care?
How can she not know I'd be good for her?
