Cher Elusive Butterfly

Art photos of Cher from a poster from her last cd, Living Proof, Often referred to as the Butterfly poster. Along with other art photos and Cher's recording of "Elusive Butterfly,"written by Bob Lind, from her second album, "The Sonny Side of Cher" (1966) Here are the liner notes..Something Special It can be the first time you tasted chocolate ice cream on a hot summer day, or the first ray of sunshine breaking through the night's blackness. To some it can be crtstal raindrops settled on cool green leaves, or the sound of that same crtstal rain gently falling on tile rooftops. For others it may be the chirping sound of the night crickets, or the strum of a guitar string from the house next door breaking the night stillness. It could be a song that reminds you of another time, place, someone, or the sensation recieved from certain words, sounds, rhythm.... It's all feeling, and whatever it is , It is significant for you and only you. This album has feeling; its songs are special. Special, not only because of the material, but because they are sung by Cher. She hopes there is something special here for you. You are special to her, and this is hery way of telling you. -Richard Oliver.

I can't believe that Cher did Elusive Butterfly so well. Nearly as good as the original by Bob Lind, who had a big hit with it and wrote it as well.

[cherstyler]

Bob Lind was a great admirer of Cher's and always encouraged her to cover his songs.

I have to second sepod's comment - I can't believe Cher did such an awesome version of this song! I'm usually wary of 'remakes', but this is pretty sweet. Thanks for sharing this esoteric little gem ;)

This is REALLY GORGEOUS! LOVE the Butterfly HEARTS you made and the stain glass butterfly! GREAT artistic combo with the guitar here and her VOICE! Really BEAUTIFUL!

Oh Irene WOW!!! I am being shown love from a being from afar but happening in the NOW. LOVED this song but adding these butterflies + all those BIG beautiful Blue ones screaming, "Hello Babe!! Happy Birthday April 18th" He has a tendency to begin early having little shoutouts of lovingness that I am so loved + only a couple feet away from me in another frequency; that is all holding us from touching. Cher sings her way--stop trying to dictate what she does. LOVE every note and lyric. <3 To ALL

I LOVE Cher's version of this song!

[yoapricot]

Nice, but the problem with Cher's version is that she rushes through the song as if some's knocking at the door telling her to hurry up. As a result she slurs the words, not letting the lyrics sink in, thus taking away from the overall effectiveness. Could she have done it better? Sure, if she had removed the ants in her pants.

I didn't know she did it either -- Yes, too fast -- needs to be slowed down -- but LOVE the butterflies

This let's me feel like a young hippie again! Brought me back to those greener pastures with young and wild times on my mind. Beautiful girlfriends andtwirling LSD and 'shrooms and weed and wine and beer,...ehehaha
