Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stcdNj0SANw - Butterfly - Mariah Carey |
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_%28Mariah_Carey_song%29:
| "Butterfly" is a song written and produced by American singer
Mariah
Carey and
Walter Afanasieff for Carey's seventh album,
Butterfly (1997). It is a ballad combining elements of
pop and
gospel,
but Carey had originally conceived it as a
house
record with
David
Morales titled "Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise)". After realizing how personal
the lyrics were and how they could be applied to Butterfly, she wrote
"Butterfly" with Afanasieff.[1]
On the song's lyrics, Carey comments "It was '97 and I was leaving my marriage
[to Tommy Mottola] which encompassed my life. I was writing the song 'Butterfly'
wishing that that's what he would say to me."[2] It was released as the album's second single in 1997. It did not appear on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart because it was not issued as a commercial single in the United States; Billboard magazine rules at the time stipulated that a commercial release was required for a song to enter the Hot 100. It was a moderate success on charts that airplay-only singles were allowed to enter, such as the Rhythmic Airplay Chart, Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks and Top 40 Mainstream charts, and it reached number 7 on Billboard's Hot 100 Airplay chart. "Butterfly" was not a substantial hit outside the U.S.: it reached number 22 in the UK after 5 years of 12 consecutive Top-10 singles and number 27 in Australia, failing to match the success of "Honey", the album's first single. In France and Germany the single did not reach the top forty. "Butterfly" was nominated for the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, which it lost to Sarah McLachlan's "Building a Mystery". In honor of Mariah's 20th Anniversary in music, "Butterfly" was chosen as her #1 song by fans. |

| “Hello, police department? I've
lost my cat and..." “I'm sorry lady, but this is not a police job, you can try calling..." “But you don't understand, this is a very intelligent cat. He is almost human. He can practically talk.” “Well, in that case ma'am, you'd better hang up. He may be trying to call you right now.” |
