A piece of heaven

Iris


The Greek goddess Iris, goddess of the rainbow, was also known to be the messenger of Zeus and Hera. Iris would take messages from "the eye of Heaven" to earth travelling on the arc of the rainbow. The word iris means "eye of heaven". It was the name given to the goddess, the flower, and the center of your eye. This means that each of us carries a piece of heaven with us. Since Iris is the Greek goddess of messenger of love, her sacred flower is considered the symbol of communication and message. Greek men would often plant iris on the graves of their beloved women as attribute to the goddess Iris, whose duty it was to take the souls of women to the Eysian fields.


Iris will appear on the Hercules and Love Affair self-titled great debut album, due for release on March 10th by DFA/EMI. A must-hear song of sublime loops and a heady melody with Kim Ann Foxman on vocals.
