Ann has one of the most powerful and beautiful voices on the planet, with Nancy playing and harmonizing beautifully as always!

[@LT-ri8rq]

This song was written in 1978. Still holds up and resonates very strongly.

[@juliemosher6404]

As a teenager, these 2 women made me feel that anything was possible in life. Music was my best friend throughout all of my life. These 2 strong, amazingly talented women have helped form my life. Will be listening to Heart from all decades until I die.

[@alannabucknell363]

Me too! My sentiments exactly!

[@summermcpherson8209]

Oh Ann... oh Nancy... two beautiful ladies with such beautiful voices!

[@richardtaylor8595]

Two of the most talented and wonderful ladies in Rock AND Roll. I bow down to them both.

[@BrentMFisher]

The unmistakable two (2) voices of Ann and Nancy Wilson will forever soar through time on a diamond wave like an *entire* angelic choir - kimie

The Wilson sisters co-authored this piece with Sue Ennis. Sue caught Ann’s attention by humming a Beatles song❕ Ann Wilson got the idea for the lyric of “Dog & Butterfly” (1978) one day when she looked out her window and saw a dog chasing a butterfly : “doggedly” determined, it wouldn’t give up❗️ Dixit Ann : “The chase took on another meaning for me. LIKE SO MUCH IN LIFE, THE SPIRIT IS UNDAUNTED, YOU KEEP GOING AFTER IT.” Nancy cites “Dog & Butterfly” as the one song that captures the essence of her sibling : “It really represents [Ann’s] curiosity with all things spiritual - in the Yoda sort of way. She’s always had this propensity […] to look for the wise old man or the wisdom of an elderly man. A humanitarian spiritual guide in your life. I think that’s exactly who Ann was and still is.” This FAN FAVORITE has made its way into most Heart concerts : a nice change of pace, truly intimate and zen, with Ann and Nancy both playing ACOUSTIC GUITARS. ONE MUST-LISTEN❕ 💜🦋💜

I'm in the kitchen making a smoothie with my glasses off and I couldn't see exactly who this was but I knew it was a Rock n Roll Hall of Fame video so I clicked and started listening and was like ok it sounds good but who is it??? As the voice belted out I said oh WOW it sounds like Heart so went and got my glasses and BOOM a big smile on my face :) one of my childhood favorites 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I had the privilege to see Heart live in the 80's, they were amazing then and continue to be so now. Brings back so many memories and I just love Ann and Nancy's voices together. Chills......

[@KarinaTheDreama]

Doesn’t matter what year I feel the emotion from them & I know they’ve been through it & I wish I understood then when I was that butterfly. Idk what I survived for yet. Thank you girls for giving some crazy understanding expression of innocent true love & a wild & careless dawg w no way to see the dream long gone- it’s just a fight to finish based on hope & faith. Timeless wisdom. We need you, Heart. We love love u! Thanks for the merciful sweet sorrow once again. 🤟❤️🙋‍♀️

[@diannecarpenter7718]

This sone was some of the first sheet music I bought when I started playing guitar. I learned a lot from that purchase. Danny’s Song and Landslide were the other 2 I bought that day. Recommended.

[@briankeightly3361]

Always a favorite of mine , sounds beautiful ❤️!

[@voicetube]

Although I enjoyed the number of Heart's hits and the various songs they've output through the years, Dog & Butterfly is not only (by far) my favorite Heart song, but, in my opinion, is one of the greatest popular songs ever written and recorded. In history. Period.

[@crlfff]

Agreed

[@johnbarton1339]

[@12-grid89]

Haha! I had a friend back in the day who loved everything Death Metal, he was 6'5" and 330 lbs... but for all that he was a gentle giant I used sing this to him and it upset him. His name was Doug... "Doug and Butterfly"! Great performance, far better than my rendition! Cheers!

Why do acoustic guitars always sound so crappy plugged in compared to how they sound naturally? It’s like all the sustain and resonance is clipped off.

[@schumi9xwdc]

It’s the Electronic Pick ups, These are from Martin, Gibsons pick ups are better, once you use pick ups on an acoustic, your amp set up dictacts all sounds , so it’s up to the set up of the player.
