“Butterfly” – A Song of Hope for The Samaritans

“Butterfly” is a beautiful and emotional song performed by Irish singer-songwriter Kate Dineen. Written by Johnny B. Broderick and Iggy Broderick, the song was created in support of The Samaritans (Ireland).

Through Kate’s heartfelt performance, “Butterfly” captures the delicate strength within us all, reminding listeners that even in our most fragile moments, we can find hope and transformation. More than a song, it’s a message of compassion, courage, and solidarity with anyone facing difficult times.

The Samaritans in Ireland are part of an international movement dedicated to offering emotional support to anyone who is struggling, in distress, or at risk of suicide. With over 2,000 volunteers working across 24 branches nationwide, the Samaritans provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for people to talk about what they’re going through — no matter how big or small the problem may seem.

Their mission is simple but vital: to ensure that fewer people die by suicide. The Samaritans are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, by phone, email, or in person, offering compassionate listening and understanding when it’s needed most.
