about

"Weirdos always make great music, and anyone who writes a soundtrack to her own made-up tale about a muse she met in Joshua Tree over 100 years ago gains the title of “weirdo”. Van Gogh and Einstein were also anything but normal, so Miwa Gemini shouldn’t frown at that label."
-Pop Matters

"Miwa played a Seaweed Sway show at the Make-Out Room years ago, and I have loved her music ever since!" -Jessie

lyrics

Butterfly
Music by Miwa Gemini Words by Patricia Harmon
My daughter stoops to catch a butterfly who flits away from her enchanting touch
This movement adds a magic beauty now her fingers forming wings that kiss the wind
These summer days are like a butterfly
No keys will lock the fleeting hour
These summer days are like a butterfly
Butterflies are water color blurred in motion
Daughters blur purple pink and yellow red of the moving sun at the dusk and dawn
They haste alike and reach for moon
These summer days are like a butterfly
No keys will lock the fleeting hour
These summer days are like a butterfly
These summer days are like a butterfly
No keys will lock the fleeting hour
These fragile wings make flight of time
In summer Jennifer has wings to fly
This butterfly, this Jennifer untamed frightened ballet dancer, courtesy and grin
Their audience sprinkler, grassy hills, mountain tops that reach for clouds like them
To catch them not possible today, like breeze, cotton candies, tears and snow
A morning hug, an evening tickle
Turn around they are gone, adventuring ahead
These summer days are like a butterfly
No keys will lock the fleeting hour
These summer days are like a butterfly
These summer days are like a butterfly
No keys will lock the fleeting hour
These fragile wings make flight of time
