This song was inspired by people who want to acquire wealth and power, but who don't quite seem to know what to do with it once they've gotten it. There's a little bit of Donald Trump in here, as well as some personal experiences. Written by John Cable and Billy Gewin

Why Do You Want To Climb So High?

"...it's like a butterfly. If you chase after it, it flies away. The only thing you can do is stand still and hope that it lands on your shoulders." -- Daniel Tammet

Butterfly

Sounds somewhere between Sister Sledge, Duran Duran, The Bee Gees, Earth, Wind & Fire and Daft Punk. Basically a disco song about new love with some cool guitar, bass and synth work, plus a great horn section.

LYRICS:

I never thought I believed in love at first sight
You got me thinking, you got me changing my mind
It happened as soon as you told me your name
From just a spark to an open flame

I only know it feels right
I only know it feels good
I only know it feels right
When I’m with you

Some people stop
They want to take things apart
Just to be certain they won’t go breaking their hearts
But when there’s beauty
I want to see it as its whole
No need to break it into pieces when I already know
And I already know
I know I know I know

(Chorus)

Now when I saw you baby I also saw a light shine
Maybe that’s how it happens when it happens at the right time
And I don’t know how I got so gung ho but you should know
I’ve strapped myself in, I’m ready to go
No need to look before I leap ‘cause I’ve caught myself a star I want to keep

Keep it coming now
I want to keep this alive
A little closer now
It’s like you’re reading my mind
People watch us when we dance in a syncopated trance
They can tell as soon as we start to move
We groove like peanut butter jam
Like a yin and a yang
Perfect lyrics to a tune about the sun and the moon 
That’s why it feels right

(Chorus)

It Feels Right
