Recital time! I always love all of your input and help when I'm stumped for songs. This year I'm in need of two lyrical songs.

I need one for FIRE (anything that mentions fire, or hot, etc). These are girls are older, like young high school. Also, I need one about Butterflies (anything with butterflies or even just flying). And these girls are a younger, "tween" lyrical (so, impossible to please).

Any help you can offer for either of these would be AMAZING! =)

Butterfly Kisses for the tweens? Its a beautiful song, and not too "young" sounding, so it would be a good fit for a hard to please group.

Stumped on the Fire song for now...

There's a Silverchair song called Open Fire. It's the only thing I can think of that mentions fire at the moment. Only bad thing...it's actually a song written about the frontman's struggle with anorexia, so I'm not sure how appropriate it would be. I haven't heard the song in a REALLY long time, so it might be worth a listen. I don't remember if the anorexia reference is as obvious as some other songs, i.e. Sophie.

For Fire-Fuego by Cheetah Girls-it's an upbeat tempo but I like lyrical numbers that break the norm...
For flying-I'm using Fly to your heart by Selena Gomez

butterfly fly away ( not sure if thats the exact title) from the hannah montanna movie (billy ray and miley sing it)

Fire and Rain- James Taylor

Fly- Celine Dion

Hayden Panettiere - I Fly,
I believe I can Fly by some r&b guy
Mariah Carey butterfly
take these broken wings - from the 80's?
Blackbird by the beatles or one of umpteen covers...

Wonderful song called "butterfly woman" by Chic Gamine.
I choreographed it last year and really enjoyed it. The girl was 11.

lol, DCOM - those were my first thoughts, "Fire and Rain" and "Fly"

"Why Walk When You Can Fly" by Mary Chapin Carpenter is a beautiful song (I've heard other versions too)

Rob Thomas - Fire on the Mountain
JoDee Messina - Burn

Fire by Augustana is beautiful!

Fireflies by Ron Pope
Flying High by Jem

Fire Escape - Diane Birch
Eyes on Fire - Blue Foundation

New Soul - Yael Naïm - might be cute for butterflies.. could be like they just 'emerged' from their cocoons

For the Fire one, "Into the Fire," or "World on Fire," by Sarah McLahclan are really good songs. You can listen to them if you search for them on Google.

butterflyz by alicia keys is really beautiful!!

I'm pretty sure the song is called World on fire by sara mclachlin www.youtube.com . . .

^She also has one called Into the fire, it's an older song.
