Just been 2 hours searching for this song and 1904 from Ben’s album Could not remember his full name or most part of the lyrics, but it takes me back so much Thanks for these songs Ben, everytime i listen to butterfly i feel like the first time i did listen to it❤
Even though your faded glow Won't burn through all your bars You put out to put up Even while your widening smile Was shaking in the smoke Your head was full of hope Because I am a member of the butterfly culture Where we work and we take We play and we pray to god That the girl in that dress will undress And distress you with the way that she moves Even now when you know how To measure up the risk You're still not tired of this Even when the pills you take Turn you to a ghost You still spin around the most Because I am a member of the butterfly culture Where we worked and we take We play and we pray to god That the girl in that dress will undress And distress you with the way that she moves I am a member of the butterfly culture Where we work and we take We play and we pray to god That the girl in that dress will undress And distress you with the way that she moves
This makes me hipster even I dont want to. Haha :) awesome song. Love from the Philippines Benjamin! :) continue on writing this kind of songs. Its perfection.
Coming back here every year since it's released, funny and awesome to see new people discover it every year. But seriously, awesome song, still now in my playlists.
My ex girlfriend sent me this song by whatsapp a while ago since then I can not stop listening to her and every time I do I see her looking through my window like that afternoon, or smiling while we smoked.
I found this really cool tucked away section of youtube with loads of hidden gems, i had like 25 tabs open. But after coming back here, they don't seem so special. Does anyone know the instrument at the start? A harp maybe?
HELP ME! I have to do a video in media class and I could really use a instrumental edition of this beautiful song - is there anyone out there who knows where to get it? :) THANKS A LOT - Have a wonderful day!
What upsets me about ur comment is that even though benjamin francis leftwhich is amazing, u need to remember that last year every was saying ed sheeran was amazing because he wasn´t big at that present time. Their is no doubt that ben will be really big soon, but when he does a new person will come in and say that his music ain´t as good as the new guy and the cycle will repeat. You need to take into account that they are both really got artists. Screw that actually maybe u r right
Okay seriously. I get that that could be seen as a hipster thing to say, but it was not a douch-ey thing to say at all. I know for me I am really happy that certain songs are relatively unpopular, but I think I would be just as happy if more people discovered it.
dont you think an artists aim is to reach stardom though? only cause an artist becomes mainstream does not mean they dont have mysterious rhythm and lyrics. Ed sheeran was once undiscovered but even now if you compare his music to his material before becoming extremely well known still contains such emotions in his music
What do you guys feel like this song is about? I think it's about him being someone who goes to the strip club on the weekends. The strippers are drugged up "ghosts" with heads full of hope, whom take their clothes off...something like butterflys. Either that or he's just drugging them up himself.
I loved this song until I heard the lyrics :"...we pray to god… That the girl in that dress will undress and distress you with the way that she moves wtf ?!
because a good band getting the recognition they deserve automatically makes them too mainstream and definitely ruins the sound and lyrics the band has -_- being mainstream means you have an un-original sound and sell out to popular current trends. just because a band can be recognized and get big doesn't make them mainstream...
It’s crazy I’m just finding this song in 2020 but I’m reading all these comments from 6 years ago....this song deserves more.
I loved this when I was little, this song and Atlas Hand.
I discovered this song when I was like 10 or 11 and i swear this deserves more recognition😩
the goodness in this song is eternal
So true
This is probably my favorite song. Ever.
Agreed.
agreed
Have you heard 1904?
2020 last one standing. Love your music
2021, not the last one standing yet!
Just been 2 hours searching for this song and 1904 from Ben’s album
Could not remember his full name or most part of the lyrics, but it takes me back so much
Thanks for these songs Ben, everytime i listen to butterfly i feel like the first time i did listen to it❤
Btw genius helped me finding it, if that can help anyone out there
I can't begin to describe the emotions that this song brings up in me
Hi
I can’t, either
I've experienced love and heartbreak for the first time these last few months...suddenly these songs are more appealing to me.
m

I love this song it makes me feel better about my life ... Thank you
this is one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard, his voice is just idk it's got this feel and it gives me goosebumps
This song's magic never fades. 🖤
Happy new year i just discovered this song and listen it on repeat!
m
Even though your faded glow
Won't burn through all your bars
You put out to put up
Even while your widening smile
Was shaking in the smoke
Your head was full of hope
Because I am a member of the butterfly culture
Where we work and we take
We play and we pray to god
That the girl in that dress will undress
And distress you with the way that she moves
Even now when you know how
To measure up the risk
You're still not tired of this
Even when the pills you take
Turn you to a ghost
You still spin around the most
Because I am a member of the butterfly culture
Where we worked and we take
We play and we pray to god
That the girl in that dress will undress
And distress you with the way that she moves
I am a member of the butterfly culture
Where we work and we take
We play and we pray to god
That the girl in that dress will undress
And distress you with the way that she moves
I'm so addicted to your music. In june i'll be at your concert. !!
m
this song always reminds me of my great childhood I had as a kid and it sometimes gets down but I don't Let a sad song ruin my day
Ugh your voice makes me melt xx
Happy Birthday.
This makes me hipster even I dont want to. Haha :) awesome song. Love from the Philippines Benjamin! :) continue on writing this kind of songs. Its perfection.
I have tried so hard trying to explain how i feel about this song... but I must confess words cannot explain
Coming back here every year since it's released, funny and awesome to see new people discover it every year. But seriously, awesome song, still now in my playlists.
I am a member of the butterfly culture. True meaning of a life I see
i revisit this song every so often.
Ahh Dear Benjamin.. I wish that You know what your voice makes me feel.. :)
m
Ó céus, que som maravilhoso !
This was the first song I heard by him. I wish I could remember how..
this is like the best song
👍
Simplemente increible
This music remember me my Tumblr's day...
this is benjamin's favourive track on the album, as well as mine.
m
couldn't have agreed more! this music inspires me to take me and more photos hah.
Favorite song from him.
My ex girlfriend sent me this song by whatsapp a while ago since then I can not stop listening to her and every time I do I see her looking through my window like that afternoon, or smiling while we smoked.
I seriously wanna see a piano cover for this song.
I wish this was longer :/
same
Love your music.
so glad I came along this
Such an amazing artist :)
CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO THIS.
i'm so grateful i found this in a spotify shuffle
you my friend should be making more songs.. and famous
m
I listen to this song at least ten times a day
That was amazing, bro
It's because they are gems destined to a minority only. it's like finding a treasure of an island.
when i listen to this, another world is opening in front of me
m
lovely
He's coming to perform right where I live but I don't have anyone to go with, because none of my friends are into him. DILEMMA!!!
m
Very nice music :) :D
wow... pure nirvana!
From now on, I am a member of the butterfly culture :DDDDD
best song ever!
Her head was full of hope 😊
Awh lovely
wooow i like
cannot believe this album is 10 years old wtf
Thank You, JacM, thank You. :)
I got here from a dubstep remix. Both are wonderfully chill. Reminds me of Sufjan Stevens.
I found this really cool tucked away section of youtube with loads of hidden gems, i had like 25 tabs open. But after coming back here, they don't seem so special. Does anyone know the instrument at the start? A harp maybe?
One that flutters by? To light to make an impact, just floating on the wind?
Or maybe it's one of chaos, the butterfly effect?
Ahhhh why u so perfect *melts*
what is the genre called.. i like this kinda music..
"acoustic" works
Indie folk
👌
Benjamin = Benjamin !
Play count of my iTunes for this song: 326
Benjamin = Benjamin
Ed Sheeran = Ed Sheeran
Maths.
💗💗💗💗💗💗
HELP ME! I have to do a video in media class and I could really use a instrumental edition of this beautiful song - is there anyone out there who knows where to get it? :) THANKS A LOT - Have a wonderful day!

20th viewer. :-) This is fab.
Screw reading the comments, this song is awesome. Can't decide between original and chillstep remix..
What upsets me about ur comment is that even though benjamin francis leftwhich is amazing, u need to remember that last year every was saying ed sheeran was amazing because he wasn´t big at that present time. Their is no doubt that ben will be really big soon, but when he does a new person will come in and say that his music ain´t as good as the new guy and the cycle will repeat.

this song reminds me Thirteen Senses - Into the fire
actually if he was mainstream we'd say his music is gay but now its just incredibly beautiful and calming
what is the butterfly culture?
A cult.
ily
I wanna be a member of the butterfly culture with you.
Hey. See you again in a few years
Okay seriously. I get that that could be seen as a hipster thing to say, but it was not a douch-ey thing to say at all. I know for me I am really happy that certain songs are relatively unpopular, but I think I would be just as happy if more people discovered it.
Things were different when I first heard this song
This actually sounds no different to when I heard him live!
m
Daughter are a band, check them out, they're really good :D
ok
dont you think an artists aim is to reach stardom though? only cause an artist becomes mainstream does not mean they dont have mysterious rhythm and lyrics. Ed sheeran was once undiscovered but even now if you compare his music to his material before becoming extremely well known still contains such emotions in his music
What do you guys feel like this song is about? I think it's about him being someone who goes to the strip club on the weekends. The strippers are drugged up "ghosts" with heads full of hope, whom take their clothes off...something like butterflys. Either that or he's just drugging them up himself.
Who else came here from that chill step mix???
Youre like.... ten years late. But better late than never.
who's his daughter ?!
music that goes with how my head is when an exam is put in front of me - empty and peaceful

@@countryhumansreuploads523u r m everywhere?
takes over my body and elevates me. Higghaa
I agree with u, Kris! :D xD
In the wise words of Bruce Almighty...B E A Utiful
floaty
up there with dallas green and ben harper for me
VA Chillstep anyone?
Erm, no it wouldn't, it would just be noticed by a lot more people and get the exposure that it deserves...
everyone is entitled to an opinion :)
Benjamin > Benjamin
Ed Sheeran>Ed Sheeran
Please don't compare great artists.
If you didn't go regardless of your friends' disinterested, then I would be thoroughly disappointed.
I loved this song until I heard the lyrics :"...we pray to god…
That the girl in that dress will undress and distress you with the way that she moves
wtf ?!
I feel like this song is open to an individual's perception of it.
One needs to understand what butterfly culture is in order to get the meaning behind those words.

will u marry me ben?
no
when youre a trans girl... this song just hits different.
Sounds like he's describing an experience he had at a strip club.
because a good band getting the recognition they deserve automatically makes them too mainstream and definitely ruins the sound and lyrics the band has -_-
being mainstream means you have an un-original sound and sell out to popular current trends. just because a band can be recognized and get big doesn't make them mainstream...

okay, fair enough. Sorry:)
