Aphrodite's Child was formed in 1967 by Vangelis
(keyboards), together with his musician friends Demis Roussos (bass guitar and
vocals),
Lucas Sideras (drums and vocals) and Anargyros "Silver" Koulouris (guitar).
But when the group went to Paris in 1968 Koulouris had to stay in Greece (for
military service).
The first single was released in 1968: "Plastics nevermore" / "The other people"
(as a demo for Philips).
The single "Rain
and Tears", released in May 1968 was a huge success all over the world.
The first album: "End of the world" was relased in 1968.
In 1969 Aphrodite's Child released their second album "It's
five o'clock".
In 1970 Vangelis started working on the album "666",
when Silver Koulouris joined Aphrodite's Child.
The album was relased in 1971 (when the group has split up).

I want to live lyrics
| I want to live Where they'll change what they have done Yeah I must die cold and shunned by the sun Yeah Why should I stay Where there are people that hate The things I need and making me wait yeah They will teach you the hows instead of the why's They will turn your truth into lies I feel like crying when I'm groping for a way |
to stop it from
going
cause I want it, want it to stay Yeah They will teach you the hows instead of the why's They will turn your truth into lies I want to live try, look and understand I needed you to take hold of my hand and pull me up, yeah I feel but I can't, yeah (Yes I do) I want to, I want to live Yes, I want to live yeah, yeah To feel and... [I'm gonna lose it, yeah] |
You always stand in my way

I am mad when I see you You, you better pack up all your things and I, I, I feel like chewing so I'm getting mad, baby
And I said you

Rain and tears lyrics
| Rain and tears, are
the same but in the sun you've got to play the game When you cry in winter time you can pretend it's nothing but the rain How many times I've seen tears coming from your blue eyes Rain and tears, are the same but in the sun you've got to play the game [interlude] |
Give me an answer,
love (o----ooohhh) I need an answer, love (o----ooohhh) Rain and tears in the sun But in your heart you feel the rainbow waves Rain and tears both I shun for in my heart there 'll never be a sun Rain and tears, are the same but in the sun you've got to play the game Game ... |
Let me love, let me live lyrics
| I fear death I just wanna groove I just wanna live I got so much to do I fear death I just wanna groove I just wanna live I got so much to do I need time I fear death I need time [Interlude] |
I fear death I need time [Interlude] Let me love, let me live [Interlude]
Let me love, let me live |
Don't try to catch a river lyrics
| When she flows (Don't try to catch a river) No one will ever catch her. When love goes, (don't try to catch your lover) For love is a kind of river, River flows over rocks and walls, When she flows, Lovers leave their girls at sunrise, Don't you try |
River River River When she flows, River carries along dead leaves, River Oehh ... River... |
It's five o'clock lyrics
| It's five o'clock and I walk through the empty streets thoughts fill my head but then still No one speaks to me My mind takes me back to the years that have passed me by [interlude]
It is so hard te believe |
thus so And so I go back to the years that have past me by [interlude]
It is so hard to believe
It's five o'clock |
Wake up lyrics
| 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 Laughing, people laughing |
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? [interlude] pom pom pom ...... |
End of the world lyrics
| You should come
with me to the end of the world without telling your parents and your friends You know that you only need say a word So end my play with thy end of the world But I know
You should come with me to the end of the world But I know |
he---e, ha---a
If you come with me to the end of the world
You know that you only need What I know he---e, ha---a |
