about

On the 29th May Bank Holiday Monday, I wrote, recorded and released this track in 24 hours! I asked my followers on Instagram and Facebook to send single words to me that I could put into the song, and somehow, even with some crazy hard words, I made it work. I'm so grateful to all of you who contributed and I hope that you like, buy and share this song. #bankholidaybeats

All the words and phrases in capital letters are the words that I was sent by all of you!!

lyrics

PEACEFUL DAYS
That's what I'm after
To drink always
From sweet ALABASTER
Some day I'll RISE so high...
My ADAPTABILITY
Will take me to the sky

You're my
INSPIRATION
PURIFYing me
Coursing though my VEINS
Your POWER sets me FREE
You're always on my mind,
So I'm CRYING ALL THE TIME
BLESS me with your crimson LOVE
BUTTERFLY...
BUTTERFLY...

Don't call me a GODDESS
Don't call me a flower
Like a DINASOUR RUNNING
I'm clawing the hours
Digging for some priceless GEM
Maybe I'll feel better then
Crawling's hard
Growing wings to soar again

You're my
INSPIRATION
PURIFYing me
Coursing though my VEINS
Your POWER sets me FREE
You're always on my mind,
So I'm CRYING ALL THE TIME
BLESS me with your crimson LOVE
BUTTERFLY...
BUTTERFLY...

You're flying with such GRACE
While I'm racing to the chase
MOMENTUM building up
But I'm still searching for my place
I'm PROUD to say
I get to be
Entangled in this UNITY
I'm drawn to your AROMA
JOYFUL WONDER...

You're my
INSPIRATION
PURIFYing me
Coursing though my VEINS
Your POWER sets me FREE
You're always on my mind,
So I'm CRYING ALL THE TIME
BLESS me with your crimson LOVE
BUTTERFLY...
BUTTERFLY...

Judith Ude England, UK

I'm an unsigned Nottingham born, Leicestershire based singer-songwriter. I write, perform and produce all my music using layered vocals, Celtic harp&analogue instruments. My African heritage, gospel singing roots, faith and my love of classical music all come out in my sound. My lyrics are all love&hope as I like to uplift. As a black female harpist, I create music that overturns stereotypes. ... more
