about

Since artists of all kinds have always been concerned with creating whatever they perceive as being beauty, it seems only fitting that a tribute be made to the very goddess which has historically been seen as its protector and creator. In this sense, it is the goddess Venus who is in fact 'the creator of creators', and whom, as such, deserves the highest possible praise from those active in the creation of their own little slices of beauty. Her status as the personification of the concept of beauty is clearly recognized here, and lyrically confirmed through the observation that she is the one who 'made us embrace the beauty dimension'. With one's imagination being the primary source of all artistic endeavors, it is her catalyzing role as the 'rhythm of the fantasy' which further cements her position as a mythological figure worthy of such a musical tribute. The thoughtful blend of horns, guitars and a powerful, driving bass-line makes it hard to imagine a more fitting musical backdrop to the song's subject matter; one which adds an interesting addition to an artistic tradition which goes back centuries. The existence of such a tradition of tribute should perhaps not come as a surprise, for which self-respecting artist has not at one point or another lived to appreciate the dimension of beauty in all its splendor?

lyrics

You tied the rope of our gravity
Gifted Mars his strength capacity
Made us embrace the beauty dimension
Claimed the Moon and its ascension
Venus, the fountain of the feelings
Your rooted charm is the spirit of the Phoenix
Your core warmth is so intense
You turn in trance, the planets dance

Silver, gold, diamonds and pearls
Honor your essence blessings in the world
Divine colors, conceived chemistry
Supreme wonder the flower of the Galaxy
For you we shaped Art
Separated the day and night apart
Kingdoms are ruins without your Majesty
You’re the rhythm of the fantasy

War scars you purge
The untold Heaven when our souls merge
Miracles emerge
You lead the joy from pain to diverge
Your walk is written on a masterpiece solfege
Your earned heart is Mount Everest edge
Everything heavenly I can speak of
You the fire that sets love off
