Looks like both Neil and Chris got butterflies named after them: Liptena chrislowei and Liptena neiltennanti. Also the album Introspective and the song Minimal got a butterfly tribute.

Reading this thread I can't help but hum the theme tune to Butterflies (sitcom from the 70's for those outside the UK..)
There is beauty in ugliness and ugliness in beauty.

I never knew it was originally by Dolly Parton. I always assumed it was written and performed specifically for the comedy series..

Anyway, we better get back on topic...

I still always wonder if we'll ever get to hear the song Neil and Dolly penned together. "I paid my dues a long, long time ago", was it? Maybe not, if it hasn't already happened.

Well, this is perhaps what the beginning of Secret of Happiness is refering to. "Butterflies...."
