There is something absolutely breathtaking beautiful about the new single “Setting Sun”, from The Butterfly Graveyard.

Delicate and delicious, Irish alt-rock artist The Butterfly Graveyard is located somewhere between The Blue Nile, Jeff Buckley and the deep blue sea. He makes a fragile music, soft as a butterfly’s wing but sometimes rough and uneven like the underbelly of a leaf, translucent when held up under the light. 

The vocals from The Butterfly Graveyard, on “Setting Sun” are magnificently brilliant, we were literally in awe.

Setting Sun is a song about  making the most of the time we are given. It is a song of two halves. The first half is written from an individual point of view where the character is looking forward, trying to get stuff done and at the same time looking back with a sense of loss. The second half is more Universal in the sense it could almost be written by a Major Tom like character,who is looking down from space in complete dismay at the earth’s resources being plundered and pillaged.  This character is seeing raging forest fires,  the earth drowning in flash floods and polar bears being stranded on melting ice caps. So in a way the song is a rallying call to protect the earth in this so called ‘Golden Age ‘ of drilling.  It’s about ‘we’ as a collective, trying to get things done before the human race runs out of road and the sun sets on the earth for the very last time.”   

You need to immediately stop what you are doing and get yourself lost in the incredible beauty of “Setting Sun”, from The Butterfly Graveyard.
