about

Sung in Spanish and from the perspective of the Goddess herself, Aphrodite’s lyrics are raw and empowered, full of love, tenderness, sorrow and rage

Aphrodite had been composed some time ago and performed many times, but never with lyrics! Those were penned by Britt the night before we went into the recording studio. The only overdub on the album, the vocal track was recorded at the very end of the two-day recording session, just before the studio time up.

lyrics

Lyrics:

He nacido
en las olas
espuma y algas
sobre mi cara
y en mis oios tristeza y rabia,
sal, ternura
sobre todo, soy amor
sin verguenza,
infinito

Venus
Freya
Turan
Rati
Astarte
Isthar
Inanna
Anahita
Hathor
