Agree. We all have our own opinion. But equally it's re elusive butterflies .. bees or Robins that are elusive. Just are here to remind us of our loved ones.. DONT BE concerned..

This is one of the most beautiful songs during that era. His voice and the arrangement are perfect. If I'm having a hard day, this song sets things right. Back in the day, way before the Internet and only AM radio, I had to search those huge books at Tower Records until I found this 45!! But worth every minute. I still have that 45 today. Long Live Tower Records

I remember as a kid hearing this on the radio and not really understanding it at the time, but even then I realized it sounded different than any other pop song in the 60s. Now, I can see it was a gift from God, one of the most beautiful, simple melodies ever written, and only gets better with time.

Oh, yay! I woke up to see that cozy's done one of my favorite songs of all time. I have always utterly loved this song with its hints of fairy tale magic, true love and princes pursuing princesses. Hey, I was only eight in 1966. But all these decades later, it's retained that quality for me. Thank you for capturing its spirit so well. And for showing the handsome prince. Appreciate it.

The song is also one of my favorites; I was in Jr. High when the song was released. In my videos, from the male point of view, I normally show the male when he speaks in the "first person".

This is the best video to this GREAT song that I have yet to see. The late great Jack Nietzsche produced and arranged the strings. Bob Lind on acoustic, Carol Kaye on bass, Henry Diltz on banjo, Leon Russell on piano, Hal Blaine on drums, Sum Yung Guy on tambourine. Not sure who sings back up harmony on the ending words of each chorus, "butterfly of love." Sounds female. Maybe Sum Yung Chik.

The lyrics to this song are great, but what really made it shine was that Richard Bock, listed as the producer, brought in Jack Nitzsche, who is best known for helping Phil Spector create the "wall of sound", do the arrangements and scoring of the track, but in a little subtler way than he did for Phil on other 60's hits. IMHO Jack Nailed it on this one

@@gainsbourg66 I don't agree with your assessment, But you are certainly entitled to it. Everyone's ears, their brains aural processing, their audio equipment's quality, source material etc. are all different, Even though this was recorded 60 years ago I find it quite balanced and clean myself. I took the audio track from YT and re-sampled it at 320kbs in MP3 instead of the common 128kbsMP3. to decompress it as much as possible. That reveals sounds that are "hidden" behind other sounds to save space o produce a smaller file. The compression also reduces the separation for the same purpose.Yes, there are a couple sub-optimal examples and the mono mixes for radio and 45's especially ARE muddy. In its "restored" form my system, ears, and brain find it very pleasing, a nice reminder of when I was 16! If interested in the MP3 process you can find a good description on Wikipedia. I did this to get the best sounding file I could get on MP3 to load it into my vehicles sound system which also has SRS Labs Sound Retreival System which adds even more improvement. I have close to 1500 tracks in it, so it's ALL music I like with no talking and commercials in between!

Beautiful song. Its in my opinion re loved ones passing .. chasing , being close despite being in heaven.... Beautiful as we they remind us always. The little butterflies.. are our nets of wonder..cant catch them. As they are safe and flitting around free .. they are the bright elusive butterflies of love and we wake up with that beauty around us 💛.. they may have passed but we wake up every morning and go about our day. Our lost ones are truly with us... . Yes 4 tops version is equally good
