Kushpowers – “Butterflies and Moon Trees”

Kushpowers’ latest titled Butterflies and Moon Trees, and the story behind it gives a clear sense of why he feels strongly about it. He talks about spending years around Mike B Benno and Tony Lee, so hearing that this song finally came from a session where they all ended up creating together feels like something that naturally unfolded after a long time of crossing paths. It sounds like a collaboration that grew out of real familiarity rather than anything arranged or overly planned.

The song focuses on heartbreak, addiction, and loneliness, and he talks about those ideas with an eye toward trying to grow past them. That gives you an idea of where he was emotionally when he worked on it. Nothing about it feels like a move to impress anyone, it feels more like two people using what they have lived through to shape something honest. I love that the whole thing began in a relaxed studio moment that turned into a full piece once everything clicked. His comparison to writing a movie script and finally getting the right lead shows how long he had imagined this exact match.

With Butterflies and Moon Trees, it is a good time to follow him on social media so you can keep up with what he has planned for the rest of 2025 and the new year.
