"Butterfly Caught" is a song by English trip hop group Massive Attack from the 2003 album 100th Window. Mike Shinoda created a remix of the song which was never officially released. It's unknown when the collaboration took place.

Background

The song was written by Neil Davidge and Robert "3D" Del Naja, the latter of whom performs vocals on the song.

3D's voice serves not only as the vocals for the song but also in other ways that are not immediately obvious. The bassline of "Butterfly Caught" for instance is 3D's voice, but slowed down and worked upon. Nearly all the electronic sounding layers of the original track are manipulated vocals. The strings for the song were recorded by a 50 piece orchestra in June 2002 at Sony Studios in London, UK.[1]

On February 21, 2018 the "Linkin Park" remix done by Mike was debuted by James Lavelle on his Living In My Headphones show on Soho Radio London. He didn't offer much information on the track besides saying it was unreleased and he was finally playing it "after all these years". The episode was later uploaded to the radio's MixCloud account.[2]

When questioned about the remix, Mike Shinoda said, "I don't know how that came about. I was so thrilled to do a remix for Massive Attack, I love their music. And I definitely chose that song, I may not have chosen it from the album, but they definitely gave me some options and I chose that one because I really liked it."[3]

Mike was later asked about what artist from the 1990s he'd like to collaborate with and said, "90s? Smashing Pumpkins comes to mind. Oh, Rage, they did come out in the 90s didn't they? Massive Attack. I did a Massive Attack remix at one point."[4]

Album Version

Weightless falls honeysuckle
Strangers (strange this)
Lights from pages
Paper thin thing
Protected by the naked eye
Pearly sunrise

Nearly worn
Kneeling like a supplicant

Darkened skin

Open lips
Keep smiling for me

Darkened skin
Afraid to see

Open lips
Keep smiling for me

Weightless cool honeysuckle
