I was around 20 when Dog and Butterfly came out - I recorded a cassette tape of it so I could listen to it in the car too. I listened to it over and over that year. Originally from LA, in early 1981 I drove to the Bay Area for a long weekend with my cousin (we've been like sisters all our lives) - and we played Dog and Butterfly A LOT driving between LA and San Francisco (about 7 hours there and 7 hours back). Almost the minute we got there, I met someone, and within hours we were staring into each other's eyes - it was one of those magical and passionate love affairs where you think about the other person constantly - and it was the first time I had ever felt that way about someone. Mistral Wind in particular seemed to capture that passion, and even 40 years on, I can still remember how it felt. The way she abandons herself to the wind - Ann Wilson's voice is like no other - what an incredible song! |

When approached by rabid fans with questions about the meanings of various Beatles lyrics, Lennon, McCartney, and even George Harrison often said things like, "it's just a collection of pretty words - there's not really a deeper meaning." It annoyed the heck out of them that their fans would always read elaborate meanings into their song lyrics. As humans, we have a lot in common - that's why song lyrics sound so familiar - it's really very simple. |

@[Imani110:3964] No no no no no. This song is clearly about hipsters, who are all trying so hard to look different they all look exactly alike (so tire - unhappy). The part about "bring down the government is a reference to the Occupy Wall Street movement. The real genius here is that it was written a decade and a half before any of that stuff happened!!!! |
