I tend not to believe it, but there's something about the song that does fit that kind of interpretation.

The song "Dog and Butterfly" ...Hi there.<br /><br />The song "Dog and Butterfly" was one of my adolescent favorites as well. Over the years I often wondered what it was about and formed my own theories over the years as my life experience grew. (I'm male, by the way - that will color my interpretation of the song.) Today I again am thinking of the song for some reason and found your blog. <br /><br />Someday I am planning to write a line-by-line analysis of the song. But before I do that, I'd like to ask you a question to see if my interpretation lines up with yours. Who or what are the frozen strangers in the second verse?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19251645.post-62906470942308894562010-08-20T21:10:22.498-05:002010-08-20T21:10:22.498-05:00I recently lost a friend, Jennifer, at the young a...I recently lost a friend, Jennifer, at the young age of 38. She had been the recipient of a kidney transplant- two times...so we got to have her for a little longer because of someone else loss and brave "life" donation. She loved her dog, Smokey and she loved butterflies. When we were at her Memorial, I remember it all came together that this was the most perfect song for her. I ordered the Heart cd as a gift for her Mom. I ever understood the meaning- but you have elegantly captured what I hoped the meaning would be. Tonight- still in wonder- I googled the meaning of lyrics to Dog and Butterfly...and up came your blog. So nice to meet you and have you share your meaning...your personal self. I will pray for you and i also send special thanks for reaching out- but reaching out, you are teaching many.

However, as I listened to it recently (I bought a Heart "Greatest Hits" CD, I was reminded of the innocence of childhood and the laughter children will emit when doing something as simple and idealistic as chasing butterflies. That brought tears to my eyes. It's nice to know that good songs transcend time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19251645.post-36110945172340880752007-08-19T02:19:00.000-05:002007-08-19T02:19:00.000-05:00I've been trying to figure out the meaning of that...I've been trying to figure out the meaning of that song,too. It is very soothing to hear, but it was driving me crazy to understand it. I hate it when you really like a song and find out it means something nasty or wierd. Glad to hear that song is neither.<BR/><BR/>JENAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19251645.post-1147927451916037972006-05-17T23:44:00.000-05:002006-05-17T23:44:00.000-05:00O.K......I may not belong to the longflicks, this ...O.K......I may not belong to the longflicks, this is true, but I could be your manager!
