My Song Memories
Number
9 and its accompanying memory
Although
I think this song brings back memories of happy times in the Philippines,
I realize as I write this that it is actually reminding me of lonely times
more than happy. In the bars, the bar girls refer to all sailors as butterflies.
They say the butterfly goes from one flower to another, pollenating each one
in turn before moving on. They say sailors are the same way. If they call
you a butterfly, it means you can not be true to one person. If any song reminds
me of my days of "running the bars," this song does. I searched
high and low to get a copy of this song and then came across my favorite singer
today, Daniel O'Donnell's version, and there is no telling how many times
I have played it and daydreamed at my computer since. The words are kind of
cute too but just the melody evokes memories of times gone by. Younger days
if you will. Some Butterflies just never learn.
