Amongst an up-tempo, experimental garden of music that is the album “World Music Radio”, Batiste’s piece “Butterfly” is a fragile flower. His wife has sadly been battling with a serious health condition for a long period of time, and Jon has been by her side throughout this journey. In an interview...
[Verse 1]
A butterfly all alone
But can you fly on your own?
Take your place in the world today
A butterfly flying home
[Verse 2]
A cherry plum and chewing gum
Miniskirts and cars that hum
I see you're driving 'round with your head held high
A butterfly flying home
[Bridge]
Stay a while here with me
Up underneath the stars
When you go, you'll be free
'Cause you know who you are
You're butterfly
[Verse 3]
A color scheme from a dream, hm
A tapestry to soul supreme
I mean, I've never seen
Something so damn beautiful, oh, child
It's a butterfly flying home
[Break]
Flying home
[Verse 4]
You see, I'm howling at thе moon
Day and night, ah-woo-hoo
They say I'm as crazy as a loon
But I'm alright, all dressed in whitе
[Outro]
A butterfly in the air
Where you can fly anywhere
A sight beyond compare
A sacred song and a sacred tongue, hm
It's a butterfly flying home

I really am proud of this one, of how transcending of any genre or any sort of classification it is. There’s a lot of textures and sonics and a very maximalist approach in a lot of the music here, but this is transcendent and simple. You can sing it as a nursery rhyme. You can sing it as a lullaby....
