How do I tell you I need you
When you steal the breath in my lungs?
My body shakes 'til the blood in my face
Makes me awkward, smile, and turn around
How do I hold these emotions
When you spin my world out of place?
One look at me, it feels like everything
Is written marker on my face
I'm hopin' maybe you can tell me now
Am I the only one that's catchin' butterflies?
Am I a moth in your flame?
Do you burn the same when I
Look in your eyes?
Do you get butterflies?
Butterflies
Don't know what I'd do without you
And that's why you're not here in my arms
I'm so scared to lose what we already have
Askin' for everything that I want
'Cause maybe I raised all your red flags
And these green lights are just in my head
I swear that there's something we both can't explain
And I'm terrified to lose it
I'm hopin' maybe you can tell me now
Am I the only one that's catchin' butterflies?
Am I a moth in your flame?
Do you burn the same when I...
Hopin' maybe you can tell me now
Am I the only one that's catchin' butterflies?
Am I a moth in your flame?
Do you burn the same when I
Look in your eyes?
Look in my eyes
Do you get butterflies?

Butterflies - Abe Parker  Cover By Ray Surajaya

It'll Be Okay - Cover by: Rachel Grae

My, if this one didn't take a long time to finish. I started this a year ago, around the 20th of December 2012. Why did it take so long? I had it 90% finished that next January, but I didn't get to the last passage of the choral section in time to have it finished before school started back up. So, the vocals had to wait. It wasn't until just recently that I was able to sit down with this song and really complete it.

But it's here, now, and I love that. This one's been a long time coming and features some of my best mixing to date. I had this mix near perfect months before I ever considered buying monitors, which is amazing to me. With the acquisition of more useful plugins, I put a little more critical listening work into the mix and the result is something I can call pleasing!

I'm more than excited to finally be able to release this. Many people requested it when I decided to cover something last year, and it's great to feel like it's worth something.

Production notes may come eventually, but for now I'll just run down the notables.

I used PreSonus's wonderful Studio One v.2 Pro to mix, utilizing its included compressors, EQs, and reverberators for the most part. Native Instruments' Guitar Rig 4 played a huge role in this like it does most of my music, being the tone shaper for the guitar/bass tracks and my key echo effect. I used Waves' Kramer Master Tape to fatten the sound in a good many places, and the Puigtec passive EQs as sweetening filters. Ozone 5 served as the master dynamics processor and topped everything off.

"Honey-Sucker" is a playful, slightly wild song about a strange little creature obsessed with one thing – finding honey wherever it’s hidden. He sneaks through bushes, sheds, and forests, sniffing the air and even digging underground if he catches the sweet scent. With humor, quirky imagery, and a catchy rhythm, the song tells the tale of his odd adventures, awkward encounters, and relentless quest for nectar – even offering to trade for cash. Fun rhymes and a cheeky attitude make this honey hunt impossible to forget.
