Annotations for Butterflies and Hurricanes

Lyric: [Piano Solo]
Annotation:
This solo is largely inspired by famous Russian romantic composer  Sergei Rachmaninov. Dramatic chords and rapid arpeggios are a staple of his music. Here, Bellamy takes those features and composes his own pieces. Another great example will be  “Exogenesis: Symphony Part II (Cross Pollination)” in 2009. Matt declared  in an interview: I was trying to find a classical type of piano style that would be heavy and work with bass and drums. It had that sort of mechanical paradiddle thing all the way through, and then it breaks down into this kind of romantic, flowing weird bit in the middle.
