About the Song
"Butterflies and Hurricanes" is a song by Muse from their third album, Absolution. It was one of two songs recorded with a string section, both of which were recorded, along with an early version of "Apocalypse Please", during the initial stages of recording. The song is notable for its Rachmaninoff-esque piano interlude. The song concerns itself with the so called butterfly effect of chaos theory, describing how individuals can make a huge difference just as a butterfly could redirect a hurricane. The song was also dedicated to Dominic Howard's father, who died shortly after the band's performance at Glastonbury Festival. There are several versions of "Butterflies and Hurricanes". For the original studio recording, introduction, verse and choruses were played on keyboard. The band later reworked the song for guitar during the Absolution tour, including an extended guitar solo before the piano.    Download this sheet!

Music sheets - what is all about? Back in the 19th century, songs in the United States were popularized by musicians through music sheets. It was only in the 1950s when musicians started to bring music sheets to bands so they could play, allowing more people to hear their compositions. Simply, a music sheet is musical composition in printed form. It is composed of unbound sheets of paper where a musical notation of a song is printed. Many associate it with popular music. However, musicians say popular songs are not the only ones written down on paper. Many classical songs were published in music sheets and classical musicians performed even unfamiliar songs with these printed compositions.  (More...)
