Original, Acoustic and Live - Journey to Venus

Here's a song I wrote in Paris in January 2018 about a Sufi Dancer that guided me in a dream on the Journey to Venus.

Lyrics:
The journey to Venus is the journey back to the womb.
We eat everything in our path, all these dishes we consume
But we just walk and in walking, each step a feast without a crime
And we just walk and in walking, each step a love that's trapped in time

You cannot walk this path in fear
You must fall till you don't need to prove it
For we all will settle, for nothing less than authenticity

As all as one as equal, on the path of equality
On the knife's edge in perfect peril
Walking this path for all eternity

"each step a feast without a crime" - I do REALLY LIKE that line!

Let there be more original music - it takes such passion and courage!

I especially liked the title, "Butterfly's Burden". So evocative of the weight of cocooning and evolving. 🦋

Thanks for your kind words, meaningful comment and for actually taking the time to listen.

The name 'the butterfly's burden' actually came from a poem by Mahmoud Darwish of which the English translation is dictated within the song of the same name on that album.
