XTC – Then She Appeared Lyrics 10 years ago
@[Cruon:2381] Apple venus on a half open shell is in reference to the painting "The Birth of Venus", by Botticelli. It's just like what you said before, she appeared unexpectedly, the most beautiful goddess emerging from the sea. You should look up the painting, it's gorgeous! @[Matty13:2382] Catherine wheeled is a reference to the popular love song "Colors Fly and Catherine Wheel" by Simple Minds.

This is definitely my favorite XTC song, so cute and catchy! It makes my heart happy. The vivid imagery of love at first sight is just beautiful. And I love the stanzas about the Sun and the moon. Two of the most beautiful natural wonders shining now not from the sky but from her, gorgeous!
