Aphrodite’s Child

Songwriter: Vangelis Richard Julian Francis

Producer: Aphrodite’s Child

Talking, people talking
But I can't understand just what they say
The thoughts that fill my head about tomorrow
What am I to do about today?

Looking, people looking
But I can't understand just what they see
If I shut my eyes sometimes it is much better
But how long can I go on living this way?

Laughing, people laughing
The people are the same in every land
Do they laugh because they have no way of crying?
Or cry because they have no way to laugh?

Freedom, they want freedom
Can this feeling be reality?
Till one day the silly people will be asking
For an apple that has come before the tree

Answers, who has the answers?
To all the questions that we have to ask?
I can show you how to find a good solution
Aphrodite's Child will tell you on the back

Aphrodite’s Child was a Greek progressive rock band formed in 1967, by Vangelis Papathanassiou (keyboards, flutes), Demis Roussos (bass, acoustic and electric guitar, vocals), Loukas Sideras (drums and vocals), and Silver Koulouris (guitar). The band’s career ended shortly after release of their most impactful album, 666, which has appeared on a number of lists of the top progressive or psychedelic albums of all time.
