The River

Wildflower is an uplifting song about love and freedom. Featuring acoustic guitars, harmony vocals, electric guitar, bass, and drums, the song will have you tapping your toes, clapping and singing along, even doing a little shuffle step in the best Americana tradition. The lyric is honestly in the moment, happy yet with a bit of a wistfulness. Its an Indie song done in a traditional style that is sometimes called Americana, but to me songs built around acoustic guitars and harmony vocals cross cultures and are found everywhere. When I was first coming up as a guitar player, I was helped out a bunch by some older cats who had played every style of music, and they generously and patiently showed me a lot of what I know. We would sit and play acoustic guitars and sing, and really get together on the songs and the music. Sometimes it was in someone's living room or on the porch, or on the beach, but wherever, putting your guitar part and harmonies right in the pocket to make a nice blend was always the goal. This song is kind of a tribute to those great players (long may they run!)and that style of playing and music making, its fun, I hope it never goes away!

I picked these wildflower
cuz they remind me of you
they’re beautiful wild and free
but they can never belong to me
cuz wildflowers have to grow free

But I can hold em in my hands
the way I hold you in my arms
I close my eyes and I pretend
that this feeling will never end
I pretend this love will never end

I’m giving you these wildflowers
Oooh prettiest thing I see
Whenever you see those wildflowers
I hope they remind you of me
cuz like you, I have to live free

Whenever I see you wildflower
like your sitting there just for me
If I try to keep you, it won’t last
so I’ll let you be wild and free
like our love, like you and me

Sheet Music

Spring Flow for violin solo

New and improved, straight to the point, because people have short attention spans. This radio edit of Freenihilio punches you square in the face from the first whiplash chords then takes you on an a brief contemplative exploration of existential nihilism before burning it all down in a fiery explosion around 2:30-ish.  Why? Because the world keeps spinning around totally indifferent to our individual existences. So you might as well just smile, cuz it really doesn't matter at all. Enjoy.

we laugh 
 cry
 live
 die
and the world keeps right on spinning around

and all those things you have to do
and all those changes you go through
and all those things you thought were true
they really don't matter after all

your lips 
your eyes
your breath
your sighs
and the world keeps right on turning around

and all those things i said to you
all those things you said to me
all these words are left unsaid
they really don't matter after all

and if it all burns down to the ground
the world keeps on spinning around
the world keeps on spinning around
and all those things you said to me
all these words are left unsaid
still won't matter when we're dead

we're lost
we're found
if it all burns down to the ground
the world will keep right on spinning around

and all that shit that fucks your day
and all that shit those bastards say
and we'll all be dead soon anyway
so you might as well just smile
it doesn't really matter at all.

On Another Day

This melancholic semi electronic track has melancholic piano melody over a monotonous, driving bass line, creating dramatic, contemplative suspense. Strings and horns blend into subtle pads while an anthem-like lead melody gives it a slightly middle eastern feel.

The Gathering

This song was inspired by an incident with one of my managers that just really pissed me off. All I've wanted since I began making music was FREEDOM, the ability to live my life entirely as I please. I want to support myself entirely through my music.

Ultimately, there's no real difference between working a job and being a slave. You get paid, of course, but just enough, never what you really deserve for all the hard work you put in and all the shit you put up with.

You still need to go where they tell you to when they tell you to. Do what they say when they say it. Take a break, use the bathroom, go home only when your masters allow you to do so. It's all a bunch of bullshit. Life was meant to be lived FREE.

This song is all about what rock has always been about: sticking it to the man!


We're taught to go to school and pray
We get a good job someday
Oh, but I just gotta say
There must be a better way
Oh I am so afraid
To spend my life as a slave
And work for minimum wage
So my debts can be repaid

Well I won't just fall in line
No I've been pushed around for the last time
Refuse to be a sheep
Who else out there agrees?

I can't work a job all day
Just to earn a slave wage
No, now I'm so sure
I was meant for more

I am getting so close now
To finding my way out
Of the daily rat race
It's music that will save

Well I won't just fall in line
No I've been pushed around for the last time
Refuse to be a sheep
Who else out there agrees?

I can't work a job all day
Just to earn a slave wage
No, now I'm so sure
I was meant for more

Whoa
Whoa

I can't work a job all day
Just to earn a slave wage
No, now I'm so sure
I was meant for more
I can't work a job all day
Just to earn a slave wage
No, now I'm so sure
I was meant for more

Meant for More

Indie artist defiantButterfly / introverts Dancing, is a south Florida based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, recording artist that loves to rock and loves electronica and loves smashing them together! Some songs fit into genres, and sometimes genres get mashed up in the songs creating hybrids of new music. Real instruments, real singing, real music made by hand with love. No cutting and pasting of loops. No silly auto tune type robot voice filters that make anyone sound like everyone. 
As a boy, he acquired his first guitar after it was thrown out the window by a neighbor who was pissed off because he couldn’t play it worth a damn. When dB asked if he could keep the discarded guitar, the neighbor said, “You can ram it up your ass for all I care”.  dB declined to perform that action, but decided to learn how to play it instead. Soon after, an older kid from the neighborhood screeched his car to a halt, pulled a broken surfboard out of the back and tossed it to dB and his brother saying, “here punks, learn how to surf you little rats”, then screeched off in a cloud of tire smoke. dB and his brother decided that was an action they would perform. Those two discarded artists tools set dB on a path of adventure and creative expression that directed many of his life choices that were made in defiance of a status quo existence.  He was also a military kid that moved around the world constantly and never lived in one place for long. That upbringing made him a keen observer of the world and people. As dB says, “Not being a part of any particular scene or group allowed me to be open minded about pretty much everything. The ones that accepted and befriended me were of all different backgrounds, races, and identities and didn't care that I didn't fit in, they were the misfits also, they were open minded, so they understood.” That early life taught him to always see the world with fresh eyes, to stay open minded, to be adventurous, to seek out new ideas and experiences, to go his own way and find his own voice and song writing style. Now an accomplished musician and world traveler, dB continues to stay open to new ideas, experiences, people, art, and music. “I’ve learned that our lives are all so different, but we feel the same things. So, I write songs about feelings that everyone can relate to in a way that you can bring your own stories and life experiences to the songs and feel those things in a way that makes sense to you. My songs are for everyone, but especially for the misfits, the average joes and janes, the outsiders, the wall flowers, the introverts. They know how to rock, they’re the dreamers, the free thinkers, the ones looking for new ideas, new experiences, and new music. They’ve shown me they’re the coolest of all.”

The Name
"The idea of defiantButterfly as a name came as I was watching a butterfly make its way through the world on a windy day. As the strong winds swirled around, the butterfly was sometimes caught up in the headwinds and blown away from its intentions. In spite of the obstacles the world was throwing at it, the butterfly continued on its journey, making headway here, forced to go with the winds there. No matter which way it was moving, whether on its hoped for path or whilst being blown off course by the winds of fate, it was beautiful. The butterfly seemed to defy nature and logic. On the surface it seemed as if it was too fragile and beautiful to exists in this harsh environment, but it clearly had the strength and wherewithal continue its life dance despite the obstacles the world was throwing at it, and all the while it was beautiful. It struck me as kind of metaphor for artistic expression and what artists do. Our triumphs and struggles inspire us to create our art, then we throw it into the air and can only watch as it is taken by the winds of an indifferent world."
