What is ‘Ameno’ by ‘Era’?

In June 1996, ‘Ameno’ was released by French new-age project, E.R.A as a single off their eponymous debut album which dropped the same year and was re-released in 1998. The track was written by Eric Levi, who put the project together and conceived the idea.

Musicians on the album and the song are Lee Sklar, Chester Thompson, Philippe Manca, Neal Wilkinson, Patrice Tison and Eric Levi.

While many have argued that ‘Ameno’ is gibberish and doesn’t identify with any language, several sources have claimed that E.R.A’s songs are heavily delivered in English and Latin. E.R.A is also influenced by 13th century doctrines of the French heretics, The Cathars, a conceptual dystopian metaphor for the band’s existence.

The song is a unique brand of chamber music, with classical orchestra and ethereal choir themes.

ERA’s music is rooted in a long and distant past. It tells the story of a mysterious era through the ages. It re-imagines ancient timbrel music by combining old choral sounds with 21st-century audio adventure.

Part lyrics in English means:

I'll save you from yourself
From the demons of the night
They promise fame and fortune
All that you eagerly desire.

I'll save you from yourself
From those voices calling you they say
Sell your soul to Evil
Then you'll be dancing forever.
