“Good Time So Fine”-is my absolute favorite! This song made me fall in love with Demis Roussos. After hearing them, I was ready to drop everything and go to the end of the world with him! No questions asked. In addition, Demis’ opening vocals on the track are haunting in the best way possible. Every time I watch it I wish I could jump through the screen and be there everyone’s outfits are superb. There is a great live version of this song on Youtube worth checking out.
Vangelis does such a wonderful job at setting the tone of when love feels apocalyptic, thanks to not only his awesome piano skills, but all of the other ominous sounds in the song. But, it also deals with the unfaceable truth of rejection. It captures the romanticism of running away with someone you love and forgetting about everything else. It is the perfect teenage love song: full of doom and gloom (hence the name) and a feeling of being unwanted.
“End of the World”-is one of my personal favorites because I find it so unique. I’ve put together some of what I believe to be their best songs-enjoy! The short but oh so sweet musical endeavors of Aphrodite’s Child deserve to be discussed again and again. You can expect to be shocked by this band’s work throughout the course of their 3 albums. The last 30 seconds consist of pure, psychedelic ecstasy. When the ending piano instrumentals gently floated into my ears, I was so shocked. The ending of that song dazzled me with its auditory brilliance. However, it was not until I heard the song “It’s Five O’Clock” that my eyes opened to how special the band was. It was actually recommended to me by fellow Progarchist Connor Mullin. The first song I heard by the group was “End of the World”. From left to right: Demis Roussos, Vangelis, and Lucas Sideras. With the combination of Vangelis’s extraordinary composing, Demis’s unique voice, and Loukas’s skillful drum work, this is a solid band worth coming back to. They were a band comprised of three, main members: Evangelos Papathanassiou (Vangelis), Demis Roussos, and Loukas Sideras. What could be described as an under appreciated psychedelic rock band from the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, Aphrodite’s Child, created several phenomenal songs worth hearing.
