Written during a time when the world is experiencing so much sadness, this piece is meant to guide the listener to feelings of hopefulness and optimism. Boba (bubble tea), as do butterflies, can’t help but to bring joyfulness and Boba and Butterflies is meant to show that even when there is sadness, we can still find beauty and happiness in the world. The risers that lead to many of the section changes of the song, represent the butterflies. The glistening sounds of the verse and chorus represent the sweetness of bubble tea and the deep bouncing bass lines the heaviness of the boba (tapioca pearls) that are part of this sweet drink. Boba and Butterflies ends similarly to the introduction representing the changing emotions that are universal to the human experience. Although the song is comprised mostly of the chord progression, I - V – vi – IV, I have used many note extensions in each of the chords to bring about more color and sweetness (just like boba and butterflies.)
