  • my dad always says this song reminds him of me. when im not at his house.. i <3 my daddy.

    (Berklee Huff)

  • Heart will always be the best rock band ever! Anne Wilson has the the most beautiful voice in my opinion!

  • just relax and lean back and think when the world was so easy no worry's no war's peace when life was great the old time's when music had a meaning better than today's sorry crap

  • Comment removed

  • "we're getting older the worlds getting colder" :(

  • i useto listen to this in the good days

  • 4 dislikes, know nothing about music their loss

  • Who the hell could dislike this song? Gotta wonder.

  • @toddcharry just haters :P

  • @toddcharry serial killer's hate this song. those bastards

  • Fuck these new bands u chicks and fellows rocks Warren Ohio coldcut74 love u

  • i believe it means basically. not being able to reach your hearts desire. like a dog not being able to reach a butterfly. thats the metaphor. but i can see how people who lost their beloved dog would take it literally. i can actually see a puppy playing in the grassy yard on a warm sunshiny day chasing a butterfly. so it's beautiful either why. dont be so hard on people.

  • Always loved this song from as far back as I can remember- can someone tell me what it's about? Thanks

  • beautiful song

  • I cry everytime.. I miss my dog, Zig... I love her.. I had her since I was born..And when she died. I had a complete melt down.. I'll see her again though, intel then all I can do is dream about her..Love you Zig <3

  • @monstter11 I/m sorry about your dog, I been there too, so I know exactly what you feel. Best to you in life. TC

  • They went all over Oregon, this year! OK, where is Dolly? And Kenny?

  • STIIL NO WOMAN CAN BEAT ..ANN WILSONS VOICE!!

    OXOX

  • Well I stumbled upon your secret place,Safe in the "trees" you had tears on your face,Wrestling with your desires, frozen strangers,Stealing your "fires",The message hit my mind,Only words that I could find,Are see the dog and butterfly--, if this part doesn't help some of you figure out the true meaning of this song, that's truly said.......

  • @ZefreyLove i got the metaphor back in the 80's

  • I can't believe people believe it's about a dog and butterfly,it's called a metaphor, "some want", my sister passed away yesterday, and that's what brought me back to this song,the good old days.

  • @ZefreyLove condolences on your sister's passing.

  • This tune makes me think of my two rottweilers named Samson and Tamar who were my best freinds. They are not with me anymore ,as they passed 6 months apart ,but lived to the unbeilevable old age of 12 years old. I miss you guys. Your master Mike always thinking of you. I beleive we will see each other again in a heaven that God has created.

  • When I hear this song I get a strong urge to paint the images in my head o-o

    I'm not even good at painting x3

  • Probably like many, this is my favorite song by Heart. Bought my the girl I would eventually marry this 45 record many years ago. Reminds me of our days when we first were dating.

  • This song is so beautiful! It reminds me of my dog Candyapple who passed away this year on Valentines Day...RIP my sweet friend....

  • beautiful acoustics...beautiful voice!

  • Ann Wilson is pure sex.

  • I remembber this song! So many fond memories...(:

  • Heart broke so much ground for females in the rock circle. Their music was truly original, and beautiful.

  • I have always loved this song it is Truly a Beautiful classic ! These were the days when there was so much Love & Magic in the air , I really miss those days , just wish

    we could get them back !

  • Love the phase 90 on the keys. Love the metaphor.

  • Bought my first stereo to this song...It is a great tune

  • ..oldest story in the book.."true love: where two are one, always together and separated at the same time" ! Yeah, my karaoke bar has this song..i'll try it, when i can make it through the song with out balling my eyes out..lol!

  • Now thats how its done Justin

  • I give these women props! They have the ability to rock your face off yet be subtle in a song like this. Having the ability to perform different genres of music speaks volumes of the versatility these women have!

  • This song is just so beautiful!! Takes me back to better days. I miss those days of this song blasting on my parents backporch speakers in the summer evenings. Oh to go back and do it again and not take those special moments for granted. I would so go back in a heart beat. Wonderful times. Wonderful memories. ♥♥

  • @awesomeeras131 True sentiment, and quite universal I think. Just remember though that these are the good old days.

  • @HoraceLime I sure will my friend. I sure will. Thank you for such a kind comment friend!! :))

  • Very pretty song, classic.

  • This has always been my favorite song... my mom introduced me to Heart when I was little and had the cassette tape... still love them to this day!!!

  • I've never cried listening to a song... but I feel the tears coming on.

  • Hmm..wonder if this is at my karaoke bar..so going to find out! Some times, the lesson in this life is to love so freely that no matter what, there is no union..aside from between two souls. Love this song! These sisters truly rawk! :]

  • 1-5-11 I just went back in time, when I was in a BAND singing.... Now I am an Executive in the Music Industry, Signing Acts. ANN & NANCY WILSON of 'HEART' were 1 of my FAVS! I use to sing many of their Songs. But..'DOG & BUTTERFLY' was my Favorite Song on that Album. (Vinyl ...back in the day) Haha! I'm younger than they are, But MAN they sure could sing both Hard-Rock & their Acoustic Songs. Mindblowing! THANKS A MILLION!! You made my Day. It was a Blast to the past!=D

  • This song just touches my heart so deeply. Such a beautiful song !! This song takes me back to days of true happiness and innocence. I miss those days. My heart just aches for those days so much. What a time that was. Never to be forgotten! There was a magic in the air back then that you just cant feel today and that is a real shame. This song is pure magic in itself! Missing those days but hold the memories in my heart forever!! ♥♥

  • @awesomeeras131 did you just copy and paste that or what? this exact comment was left by someone else on heart's "These Dreams" two weeks ago. So much for "true innocence" lol

  • @folsomdude32 No, I didnt. If you are speaking of the comment made by twinklebear22 two weeks ago, that is ME!! I had to make a new channel cuz I maxed out on my faved vids on twinklebear22 so I turned that into my Moody Blues channel and now this one is my new 80's channel so NO!! I did not copy and paste because I am the same person, just different channel so the innocence still lives!! :)) lol

  • This song is not about dogs.

  • @HoraceLime or butterflys: think metaphor....think.

  • Incredible voice. Never heard a better one.

  •  Ann and Nancy at Their Best !!! Hall of Fame for the Wilson Sisters !!!

  • Heart is a timeless group and their songs i grew up with back in the 70s They are soo timeless and Beautiful as well like DREAMBOAT ANNIE

  • Wow. Speachless.

  • remember what the wise man said, if dogs are not allowed in heaven, just send me where ever they do go, that's where I want to be.

  • magnificent. beautiful. gorgeous. 

  • GREAT AMERICAN BAND. NEVER GOT ENOUGH RECOGNITION THOUGH. WISH THERE WERE BANDS LIKE THIS TODAY IN 2010. I HAVE LOVED AND SANG SONGS FROM HEART ALL MY LIFE AND I ALWAYS WILL. ANN + NANCY= THE DYNAMIC DUO!

  • Oh, my dog ... I miss you so much, but I know you are at the 'Rainbow Bridge' where we will meet one day,,,and at that moment, it will be but a 'wink' of an eye that we have been parted ... run free now and know I wait for the day ... I love you Buddy<3

  • @arthriticMamm0 Yep, I understand your pain. I had my dog for 14 years and she died Sunday (11/21/2010). I've been grieving just terribly this past week. People who don't have pets or grew up around animals will never quite understand. I was with my dog when she gasped her last breath of air and gave up her ghost. I will always miss her dearly. Only my closest friends will ever know how much I loved her. Peace...

  • @grandforksvibrations ... thank you for sharing ... I know what you feel and the pain that is in your heart where your best friend will always be...just remember,,,when we do see those who have passed, it is just a 'split second' to them & us .. & the pain of being parted will be no more...chin up xx

  • @grandforksvibrations Those who love us understand the importance of our dogs, because they are part & parcel of who we are. Animal behaviorists have studied brain activities of dogs & Humans as compared to our closest kin, the great apes. They learned that dogs have more similarities to Humans in the way of emotional responses than we do to the great apes. Dog will continue to be [Hu]Man's best friend. Heel by me, my best friend. And you heal, too, friend. I've been where you are.....

  • @TimeWarpLady Thank you for your kind words:) It's been one week now since my dog died, and I'm feeling & handling it better. You are so correct in regards to the emotions that dogs have: Mine would always give me that sad look whenever I left for work. Peace.

  • @arthriticMamm0 Oh my God...I have the same connection to this song...

    I lose it everytime I hear it.

  • This is one of the most influential songs I will probably ever hear...Why is Heart so good??

  • @guitarbass22 ! Because Ann & Nancy are Heart! They are amazing! they are sisters and really love each other! They kicked butt in the time that only guys would rule! They had more #! hits after the Boyfriend influlence.

  • @vickydiane1 Okay. Have you seen the biography video about them? I watched that a while back, and learned a lot about Heart that I didn't know...

  • Ahhhhhhhhh.....one of my favorites

  • This is Hearts Stair way to Heaven...

  • i guess this is a mom and daughter song.. =]

    ...<3

  • It still makes me have two tears flow slowly down my sheeks. Iam 55 now.I was 23 then. Love them always.

  • i wish heart would go back to this stuff instead of their pop songs...

  • I grew up with Heart and it makes me feel good to see young people enjoying their music....still. I'm sorry your mom and Jeff passed away, I don't know why but when I read your comments it touched my HEART...no pun intended. GOD BLESS YOU and your loved ones LOVE YOU still.

  • My mom used to sing me this when I was little.

  • Very Good, thanx Heart, Yea!!! Love Ya . . .

  • Used to watch a friend of mine sit and play this. So intense when he played. Kept his eyes closed throughout the entire song... like he was part of it. Never will forget that. He past away many years ago, yet the memories of his playing are hauntingly perfectly clear. Miss you jeff.

  • This song reminds me of going to the Pizza Hut in Redmond, WA, 1978. My brother put a quarter in the jukebox and picked 4 songs. This was the first one. I was just turning 8 years old. It has been my favorite song ever since. I still have to find someone in this world today that will ever match the vocal talents of these wonderful local ladies.

  • Amber this song reminds me of you. Your just have to try and never give up.

    Love Ruth-

  • I used to listen to this song when I was feeling depressed, it always cheered me up.

    It gave me the sense that all defeats can be overcome.

  • For mi Paisan & Mac :)

  • Yummy...

  • Beautiful, but her voice is not the same anymore. In new album it sounds just strange.

  • @nixnpx Hmmm...maybe because she is over 30 years older than when she sang this. I know I don't at 47, sound like what I did at 15 anymore...

  • one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded - thank you Ann & Nancy [and Burythneedle!]

  • this song is beautiful despite what some may think.....lol

  • AMAZING VOCALS

  • Amazing voice....Thanks Ann

  • this song makes me feel peculiar, for some strange reason haha

  • Just beautiful

  • my mom said this was hers and her dogs song,they were best friends

  • I've been listening to Heart since I was a little baby... and whenever I felt sad, my mom would sing this song and I'd feel better.

  • Wow!! I never thought I would find a more favorite song & I was right way back then & even now!!! Inspires even the essence of hope huh? Still my favorite!!

  • ann wilson kicks ass!

  • dog backwards.. tis true.

  • hi honey! listen t these song... ilove it... cool.

  • this is a beautiful song.

  • This song reminds me of my Best Friend, who died in a car accident at age 20 in 1981...good memories, not a day goes by that I don't have her in my thoughts.

  • @solarenergy79 My brother passed in '87 and I too do not have a day that goes by without thinking of him.... It's GREAT to have music to bring us right back there with them! :)

  • last post reminds me of yesterday...seems like sands in the hourglass

  • why can't people be like DOGS and Butterflies instead of JERKS !!!  Stop the DAM oil leak !!!!!

  • totally puts me at peace, this and dreamboat annie are so great.

  • We are gettin older maybe it is living make us give JLS thanks for helping me create the most beautiful person in my life Robin Leigh

  • I LOVE HEART since 1980..... I love all songs.... nice music...

  • My mom played this in the car for me when I was 4 years old, i remember the big orange eight- track. Nice to hear it 30 years later, thanks for uploading it.

  • like HailzHere, this was mine and my moms song. amazing. we used to sing this together. one little song, means so much. im lucky though, I still have my momma. I love you momma.

  • me and my mom used to sing this together..i miss her :[ i love you mommy

  • The world could bury Isreal in humanitarian aid. Some would surely leak over into Gaza. (Katalina Translates) That's the kind of assymetrikal attack Che would have used. It's much sneakier than the crap those fools in luxury-liners pulled.

  • yeah... my mom used to listen to this with me when i was like 4.. then she left

  • Thanks for posting this. No video, just a beautiful song with a headset on. That made my day.

  • I can't help but think of my late sister-in-law, Susan. She embodied the spirit I hear and feel in this song. She was a beautiful person. I miss her.

  • excellent, timeless...

  • Beautiful!

  • Beautiful. One of my all time favorites...great audio, thank you for posting! :)

  • @greenshirt1000 I am with you on that...such a PRESCIOUS song....

  • The fifth stanza is the heart of this song. Ann is known to be a perfectionist and is driven to succeed. Few female artists can sing with her passion and vocal range.

  • Whenever I hear this, I have to comment on how beautifully the Wilson sisters harmonize. The voice qualities of sisters are often similar. My late sister taught me to harmonize by ear when I was not yet in elementary school. I thank her for that gift, as I went on to become a musician and singer. And now, so many years later, I wish I still had her to harmonize with..........

  • From an era when the best music was written...soulful, melodic, dramatic, moving....

  • Such a Beautiful and Tranquil song !

  • Simply love this song.

  • Like Joni Mitchell the women of Heart are true gifts from Jehova

  • My mom used to say this was our song.

    ...

    Now shes gone.

  • FuckOff rim job.

    Jeesh.

    Fuckin' Dumbasses.

  • @HailzHere

    Shes not gone. You merely sleep. Once you wake up she'll be there again. Till then just listen to the song and remember and go on.

  • @HailzHere my dad said the same thing.

    hes gone aswell.

    sorry.

  • @HailzHere ...Music like this allows our moms to live on- thank you Heart! I love you always!

  • @ashya1111 Dad's too!! I miss you Pop! ♥

  • @PegOShea72 i miss  my dad also..

  • @HailzHere she's the butterfly :)

  • @HailzHere  MOMS ROCK!!

  • @HailzHere

    This was my moms class song...i no how u feel, she is gone as well.

  • This is the first time that I have ever heard this song and I must say that I really like it. My husband suggested it to me so I looked the song up and gave it a listen.  My husband is right. Dog and Butterfly is really a good song!

  • This was my favorite song when I was little. Sweet and sad.
