<!--[endif]-->What does the name “EyeButterfly” signify?

Eye - (1 - beginnings) The perception and evolution through each trial we endure. (eg Love, fear, obsession etc) The window of the soul tells all!

Butterfly - (10 - endings and outcomes) Defines how we bloom through our love and life experiences, no matter what the outcome. Hopefully you can see your outcome as a positive even if negative, as we must all learn from our mistakes. The Butterfly will always call for her lesson, eventually we should all bloom.........do you have the time?

A lyric taken from the latest EB single “Broken Wings”

“I wish I, could unleash the Butterfly in me." "I'd send her out to find the one who's right for me, define the one who's right?"

Put the two together and you have an adventure!

p.s. A little Press?

Lyrically, Valerie will take you on an in depth metaphorical trip, blending now a day’s love trials with fantasy like characters and story lines......Be sure to check out lyrics posted at the trig player!

Let’s talk about Song titles and narratives: We’ll use Pandora’s Box as an example of how Valerie approaches her song writing. (Pandora's Box is a parable.)

First, let’s begin with a brief description of the Greek mythological version of "Pandora's Box."

Basic story: Zeus, upset with the brothers Prometheus and Epimetheus for having successfully brought fire to humankind, decides to even things up by introducing disease, death, and sorrow. Zeus orders Pandora to be created and gives her as a gift to Epimetheus. In the original tale these dark gifts are held in a jar, not a box. She is told to never open the jar, but the gods and goddesses have also made her curious. (The jar was kept locked up by Epimetheus, who did not want humankind to suffer.) Pandora finally opens the vessel, realizing what she has done, but cannot slam the lid back on fast enough. Plagues etc are then released, with the remains of hope.

There are different more in-depth versions of the tale, which can be found at the link provided above.

In Valerie's version; she sees Pandora as the woman who entices you, the lure the temptress. Could Pandora be the jar/box? Giving her boy toy (haha got to love the thesaurus!) the key to her heart and sexual desires, she entices him quickly to fall in love. After time, all temptations die and love becomes a disaster rather than a celebration. He finds out his captor is dark and unhappy! Pandora doesn’t let him go to easily and tries to trap him; she takes back the key! In conclusion he finds himself with one last bit of hope, and moves on with the vestiges of his heart. (You can find Pandora's Box lyrics at the trig player.)

Basically, the lesson here is, to get to know your partner before
jumping in and getting tattoos of each other’s names, on your fingers!
