GOLDEN DREAMS ... SHE'S GONE .... IF I GIVE MY SOUL .... PEACEFUL MAN ... ON THE INSIDE ...
SHE'S GONE (with full instrumentation) ... LAMENT ... SEASONS ... THICK & THIN

Remember that all songs are copyright Philip Butta and I am happy to give permission to charities, animal rescues, and or PBS-type programming.

"YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME HERE, MY FRIEND" is for all the lost, abandoned, mistreated, and unloved dogs out there. Please, adopt from a "rescue" organization. See the Friends Indeed page.
"GET UP AND GO!" is directed to all the ad agencies who have airline and travel agencies as clients. It's also a really fun, sing-along!
"INVITRO" is a story, or point of view, from inside the womb ... a child not yet born who questions what's going to happen when (s)he's finally born.
"IN LOVE WITH YOU" is a tune I wrote for Valentine's Day a few years go and sent to Eva while she was in Mexico with "the girls."
"NO ONE'S PERFECT" and so am I!! A real fun song. A little latino beat going on.
"LOOK AT ME" is a plea to the world to accept (me? you?) for what we are now. Look at me and see what I've become.
"THICK AND THIN" My brother said "When are you going to write a song about me?" ... well, here it is.
"THE ROAD" is my testament to getting back in the musical saddle after a fairly long absence. The bass on this track is by the mighty JOE FORTE.
"SHE'S GONE" starts with a thunderous drum beat and goes on to tell the story of a guy who wakes up to find his love has left him.
"GOLDEN DREAMS" re-started the music thing in me. When my golden, Katie, passed away four years ago (sigh...) I was moved to write this ... as well as a few others. Eva and I miss her deeply.
"THE PARTY'S OVER" was written for a friend of mine (I can't tell you who) the day after her birthday dinner at a local mexican restaurant. Think: too much tequila. But it worked out fine.

 Here are some picks of Phil and friends ... Joe Bouchard & Dennis Dunaway (at the ASPCA Benefit in Washington Square, NYC), Scott Walleck, Dave Gill (Bass player with The Last Rights),and Scott Tumelety ... more to follow ...
