It's not easy to see in all of them, sometimes it's only present as negative space. But this song is the reason why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Originally the idea was to release an album called <em>The Spider And The Butterfly<\/em>. The latter part of this title refers to <em>Wings<\/em>, whose lyrics are about a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. At least, that's how it seems on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Digging in a little, the song is also a metaphor for how some of us changed in the time we were isolated from the rest of the world during the COVID pandemic. Just before things locked down, I had been practicing and getting ready to start performing around New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">But the world had other plans. I remember wondering, what if I never get the chance to get back out there? I also remember promising myself that if this passes, I wouldn't wait any longer. I've tried to live up to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The best part about this song though is the contribution of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@KieranLedwidgeMusic\">Kieran Ledwidge<\/a>, formerly of the band <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCEhVu4EfQiS83lDqgbR7fVA\">Miracles of Modern Science<\/a>. Kieran wrote and performed an entire string section for this song, as if an orchestra had joined us. Thirty-seven tracks in total! Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/WGhasjl-DUw?si=a6ipqVvHWUhQ5lR3\">Strings Forward Remix<\/a> that strips out the drums and guitars if you want to hear this all up front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The result echoes our late 90s roots, especially <em>Iris<\/em> by the Goo Goo Dolls, with dashes of Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam thrown in for good measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enjoy Wings on your favorite streaming services!
