Artist picture
Former 1990's ethereal act with 5 albums on Projekt Records.
Love Spirals Downwards: 1991 - 1999 Over their 8 year history with Projekt Records, Love Spirals Downwards released four 10,000+ selling albums; Idylls (1992), Ardor (1994), Ever (1996), and Flux (1998), plus the single, Sideways Forest (1996), and retrospective collection, Temporal (2000), incorporating the styles of ethereal, shoegazer, folk, world, ambient, and electronica to create a sound uniquely their own. Band founder and sole musician, Ryan Lum, constantly strove to push the boundaries of LSD's ethereal pop music formula, while Suzanne Perry's otherwordly vocalizations helped to maintain a certain consistancy from album to album. As Lum moved closer to a contemporary pop sound, creative differences arose, eventually resulting in the enlistment of Kristen Perry to complete vocals for the 1998 album, Flux. In late 1999, Lum began collaborating with singer/songwriter, Anji Bee, under the shortened moniker Lovespirals. Lovespirals released their first full-length LP Windblown Kiss in 2002.

Story behind the song
Kristen Perry actually wrote and recorded songs with Ryan before Suzanne Perry took over as the vocalist for Love Spirals Downwards. She wasn't featured on any recordings until 1998's "Flux," however.
Lyrics
Here I reap barley, corn and wheat In this field dark and bleak Eros holds the keys I seek Psyche's tasks to complete I loved him blindly Never saw his face by day I loved him nightly Aphrodite From my lips Venus fountains drip Bittersweetness Eden howls behind garden walls Reed pipes for wantoness I held the lamp Suspicion beheld me his face I held the lamp My lover flew away I loved him blindly Never saw his face by day I loved him nightly Aphrodite In the shadows of passion's throws Love's harvest seemed so cruel Black rivers cross beauty's domain Mortal world you begin to fade I loved him blindly Never saw his face by day I loved him nightly My lover flew away I loved him blindly Never saw his face by day I loved him nightly Aphrodite
