Everything I know about Butterfly Boucher I learned in the last ten minutes. I've had songs of hers on compilations here and there, but never explored her beyond that. But after this weekend, I now am curious. There is a CD in my car that Little Kid likes. We don't use the car much, but when we do, in goes that particular CD. And we listen to this one song over and over and over again. This weekend, with the driving back and forth and in and out and round about, I figure I heard this ONE song about 75 times. Little Kid is a musical parser. She hears every instrument, listens to every nuance of the voice, notices when it comes in, when it curls around, when it waits. She wonders why this note is here and why that instrument is there. This song has caught her imagination and, now, it is seared into mine.
Butterfly Boucher:
- that is her real name
- from Australia, lives in the UK
- plays almost all the instruments
- her Changes duet with David Bowie is in the Shrek 2 soundtrack
- label snafus resulted in a 2006 album being released only this year
- she looks like a cross between Jennifer Garner and Cate Blanchett
