BEAUTY IN SONG

VA - Beauty In Song (A Butterboy Compilation) + More Beauty In Song (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

I truly enjoy rock songs that are best described as beautiful. They capture your heart and give you time to think. Some spark your imagination and rekindle fond (sometimes, painful) memories. That beauty is mostly in the melody and the lyric. Many are love songs and others are simply beautiful ballads which combines poignant lyrics. A beautiful song may also be just about the music, a soulful melody, and gentle refrain, soothing guitar riff or a striking guitar solo which is a fitting instrumentation to set the song apart. Some songs are so striking you get an emotional connection immediately.

There are thousands of songs that could fall into the above categories, and which affect us individually. Some artists or bands that have many songs that could be classed as beautiful.  I have tried to limit song choices to include only one song by an artist but there are two entries for The Beatles, Van Morrison and John Lennon. I hope you enjoy the tracks I have chosen for these compilations. Warning, Beauty is in the ear of the beholder...

These were previously shared separately, but I’ve now brought Volumes 1 and 2 together in one convenient spot.
