i can hear a full band version of this in my head with a brass section :)

I love that the origin story of this song is basically song a week cross-pollination, and it talks about butterflies. Also the song itself is beautiful.

I love your first verse - so relatable and a good draw into the song. I really like the uplifting feel and this definitely has a sing-along quality!

I can already FEEL how this song will be stuck in my head for the rest of the week hahaha I love it, your voice sounds so lovely!

Many thanks to Kent Aitken (@kent-aitken-386794022) for the "Bubblegum & Butterflies" inspiration for this song! I'm guessing he had no clue this would actually amount to anything. Ope. Check out his music, y’all!

do do do 
do do do do 
do do do 
do do do do
dooooooooo
do do doooo

do you feel the weight of the world
when you stop 
just for a moment

do you know that you are not alone
there are pretty much more of us
a stone throw away

'cuz we know life ain't
bubblegum and butterflies
but hell, that would be nice

gotta keep pressing on
gotta keep marching along
to the brighter day ahead

do do do 
do do do do 
do do do 
do do do do
dooooooooo
do do doooo

hey there, friend
won't you come and take my hand
and together we'll find our way

and along the road we'll ease
the load so we don't 
have to bear it alone

we know that life ain't
bubblegum and butterflies
but hell, that would be nice

gotta keep pressing on
gotta keep marching along
to the brighter day ahead

oh we know life ain't
bubblegum and butterflies
but hell, that would be nice

gotta keep pressing on
gotta keep marching along
to that brighter day ahead

Bubblegum & Butterflies (Pretty Much)
