G.o.D.'s new song that deals with loss, love and addiction.

When the Butterflies Have Flown

You came into my world
and all my hope unfurled
Flags were waving high
as I built castles in the sky
You turned and you walked away
When I needed you to stay
My dominoes fell
and then you sent me to hell!

CHORUS
When the butterflies have flown
and they've left me all alone
Stick a needle in my arm
Just to feel something warm
'Cause my butterfly has flown
My soul is dancing all alone
Oh, it's dancing in the dark
When it would rather be found dead in a park

I gave you all
Everything you needed
and you took it with a smile 
and laughed while I bleeded out
for all the world to see
while they laughed and made fun of me
You should have been standing there
You should have shown me you care

CHORUS
When the butterflies have flown
and they've left me all alone
Ahh, stick a needle in my arm
Just to feel something warm
'Cause my butterfly has flown
My soul is dancing all alone
Oh, I'm dancing in the dark
Wishing I was found dead in a park

The world was crumbling
and I held onto you
Now you're telling me
I was just a fool
I still don't believe that
I still can't believe that
There's something inside of me
Telling me to hold onto you

CHORUS 
But,  the butterflies have flown
and they've left me all alone
Ahh, stick a needle in my arm
Just to feel something warm
'Cause my butterflies have flown
My soul is dancing all alone
Ahh, she's dancing in the dark
Wishing she was dead in a park
'Cause my butterflies have flown
My butterflies have flown
My butterflies have flown
My butterflies, my butterflies have flown!
and they left me all alone!
I'll stick a needle in my arm
because I need to feel something warm!
'Cause my butterflies have flown!
My soul is dancing all alone!
Crying out not to fade away
But, my vision is going grey
'Cause my butterflies have flown
and I'm dancing all alone
Oh, well, I'm dancing in the dark
wishing I was found dead in a park
'Cause my butterfly has flown
And he's left me all alone
Sticking needles in my arm
Trying to replace your charms

AJ Evans has been a number of things throughout the years, but with all of them he has always been an artist. Through many adversities that he attributes to 'having to pay my dues with the whole suffering of the artist thing', he has maintained a history of releasing popular music directly to the public via the Internet as far back as 1995 when he decided his art was to be heard, even if it meant bypassing labels and just putting it out there for the world to enjoy. This, in turn, got him worldwide exposure and being requested to sign release forms so his music could be played on the radio in several European countries.

AJ Evans and John Phetteplace have been writing songs and playing music together and solo since 1989. Their first band, Blue Vision, was considered one of the most marketable acts amongst the unknown bands in Philly once there studio demo tapes were stolen and made public.

Evans conceived Group of Deviants following the success of his CD "I May Be a Stoner (But, I Ain't Fucking Stupid!)' Maxi-Disc featuring Anthony Kremski (who billed himself as Shaggs). Evans knew there would be more work with Anthony and other people and created the Group of Deviants umbrella to cover any collaborative work so no one was guest appearing on an AJ Evans track.

Group of Deviants has been an increasing popular brand of music due to very savvy p.r. on behalf of Evans and very popular graphic artwork that adorns their releases which have consistently provided their audiences with top-notched produced music from across the genres.

The latest in the p.r. campaign to get Group of Deviants to an even wider audience is a series of remix contests. They now have DJ's in the Ukraine, Canada and NYC exposed, remixing and finding rotation for Group of Deviants music.

We have just spoken with Exit 39 Productions, NYC about management which consists of an outlet that will carry our CD's and Vinyl release. It is a very successful major clothing chain that caters to a trendy crowd but, more details once it is cement.

Group of Deviants has continued to work through some major adversities and has continued to provide some of the best music for their genres and we are hoping to spread our brand of music our this summer to fill the hearts and imaginations of the people on the dance floors.

With AJ Evans serving as producer, audio engineer, graphic artist, owner and manager of SINaMANIAC Music Releases, a label created to protect his music, lyricist, composer, multi-instrumentalist, video producer and editing and John's talents as songwriter, guitarist, bassist, video production and make-up artist, Group of Deviants is a self contained powerhouse of full production talent, we just need the help to keep the dream alive and reach a larger audience.

Updated 17MAR2019:
An old man reliving the joys of his youth, when he was blazing trails into analog synthesis at the the Boston School of Electronic Music in the 70's - currently using Propellerheads' Reason V10 with various Rack Extensions and VSTis... 

A variety of tracks in various states of completion...

Some songs , some instrumentals, some loops or soundtrack-appropriate tunes, in a variety of "styles".

All are original compositions. All music and lyrics by Dave Read, except where noted.



Check out @BSEM for tracks made by me and others at the Boston School of Electronic Music during the 70's.

Also check out @ameebadood for tracks by me and Judy Rochat done in the early 2000's.

And now epiphany algorithm @epiphanyalgorithm : Collaborations between me and Scott Kauffman (Daughters Of Industry, Rent Me, Current Device). (Our previous "band" name "YOINK!" was being used by too many other soundcloud folks.)
