HAVING LIVED THROUGH HALF OF MY LIFE, I FOUND ME IN A GLOOMY WOOD Having lived through half of my life I found me in a gloomy wood And when I wandered off the right path I suddenly reached a mountain’s foot The forest so rough set fear in my mind The valley had pierced my heart with dread Surrounded by beasts while climbing to the top I saw a good man ahead Having lived through half of my life I found me in a gloomy wood And when I wondered off the right path I suddenly reached a mountain’s foot

Do Come By 06:11
DO COME BY I won’t wait alone in the fire Time goes by so slowly in the fire Birds and bees don’t fly near the fire Lay with me my love Do come by, do come by... You can fuel my thoughts and the fire Black hearts burn like coal in the fire Do come by, do come by...

Never Return 07:13
NEVER RETURN To the mount of light To the mount of light you’d led your steps The panther, wolf and lion The panther, wolf and lion perched ahead To the bowel of mine To the bowel of mine, in time, you came Leave all hope behind Leave all hope behind who cross the gate Lo so, lo so..... they never return Andró, andró..... you might never return To the city of woe To the city of woe you pass through my mouth Walk among the lost Walk among the lost along the path Through the bowel of mine Through the bowel of mine the nine steps of hell Leave all hope behind Leave all hope behind who cross the gate

My Love 04:05
MY LOVE Since you came, my love I’ve been wanting to know you Since you came, my love I’ve been longing to show you my love I’ve been wanting to see you my love Since you came, my love I’ve been meaning to tell you Since you showed up my love I’ve been longing to call you my love I’ve been planning to show you my love I’ve been dying to hold you my love Been longing to show you my love, my love...

Woman 04:53
WOMAN We rose out of blood and blood drips from our black eyes eyes, WOMAN Our waists and temples with snakes and adders are bound bound, WOMAN Vengeance and anger are objects of our old trade trade, WOMAN On the circling walls we hide our bat wings and we wait, wait... On your knees and bow your head to the fury of WOMAN Count your sins and your blessings for the fury WOMAN Till the very end we serve the lady of woe woe We’ll punish anyone who will swear a false oath oath On your knees and bow your head to the fury of WOMAN Count your sins and your blessings for the fury WOMAN

Apple Tree 04:43
APPLE TREE Far away and long ago You took my heart and took me whole And when I crossed the river wide You forgot my poor abandoned soul Rest your mind Cause nobody knows what you might find Under this apple tree Of evil and good – eternity All things must pass, wither away Yet you will live another day You’re no rock, no plant, no animal You come from the grace of the above Rest your mind Cause nobody knows what you might find Under this apple tree Of evil and good – eternity

FAREWELL, I’M FALLING What lonely soul is this Comes knocking on my door I cannot open it It’ll yearn forevermore Hear me, I’m calling Let me inside I need your warmth I need your light What lonely soul is this That haunts me in my sleep I’m not afraid of it I hide my treasures deep Help me, I’m falling Can’t you hear me call He’ll rest my soul Will he rest my soul Farewell, I’m falling Don’t hold my hand I’ll pull you down I’ll pull you down

SWEET HONEY PIE Tututu.... There’s a soul in the body, Domine Tututu.... What is ash will turn to ashes, Domine Tututu.... Neath the sheltering sky, what can you hide? Neath the all-seeing eye, where can you go? The dark pit of your soul Believe – or die Sweet honey pie There’s a soul in the body, Domine Tututu... Neath the sheltering sky, what can you hide... Believe – or die Sweet honey pie

about

Bye Bye Butterfly to Ola Bilińska (Babadag, Berjozkele, Muzyka Końca Lata) i Daniel Pigoński (Polpo Motel, Der Father, ex-Pustki), dwie osobowości muzyczne połączone zamiłowaniem do pięknych melodii, analogowych brzmień i eksperymentów z klasyczną formą piosenki. Propozycja tej dwójki w nowej odsłonie powinna zainteresować zarówno fanów katalogu wytwórni 4AD, jak i filmów Davida Lyncha.

Debiutancka płyta Bye Bye Butterfly „do come by” to rozbudowane formalnie piosenki o zapadających w pamięć, eterycznych melodiach, którym towarzyszą vintage’owe syntezatory, automaty perkusyjne i analogowe efekty. Rezultat - mroczne, chłodne w brzmieniu, choć napakowane emocjami kompozycje. Są tu echa bel canto, jak i psychodelii, Paryża lat 20-tych i Berlina lat 80-tych. Teksty utworów, inspirowane “Boską Komedią” Dantego, to przewrotne refleksje nad metafizyką, życiem, śmiercią i życiem po życiu, snute głosami zagubionych, piekielnych, czyśćcowych i niebiańskich dusz, które wodzą na pokuszenie, ostrzegają, przychodzą po prośbie, dzielą się swoim pozagrobowym doświadczeniem. Razem - muzyka i teksty - tworzą przestrzeń z pogranicza światów i epok, oszczędną i ekspresyjną zarazem – trudną do sklasyfikowania.

Zespół postawił na soczyste brzmienie taśmy i starego, analogowego sprzętu, nagrywając na żywo w studio im. Adama Mickiewicza w Warszawie, pod okiem Macieja Cieślaka, który nagrał gościnnie także partie gitar. Drugim gościem na płycie jest Paweł Szpura, który żywą perkusją dodał rumieńców automatom perkusyjnym.
