Butterflies & Hurricanes

About Butterflies & Hurricanes

"Butterflies and Hurricanes" was released on Absolution in 2003. The song concerns itself with the "butterfly effect," describing how individuals can change the world forever just as the turbulence generated by a butterfly's wings may create tiny changes in the atmosphere ultimately redirecting the path of a hurricane. The song is notable for its Rachmaninoff-style virtuoso piano solo that begins quietly with what may be likened to the flapping of thousands of tiny butterfly wings .
