Discover the story of the song > No Aphrodisiac – the whitlams

The song talks about how the protagonist and his partner communicate through a cassette tape because they don't write letters anymore. They are physically far away from each other, but the protagonist invites his partner to come visit him at his place near the beach. The chorus repeats that loneliness is a powerful feeling, and there is nothing that can overcome it except for truth, beauty and a picture of his partner. The song also mentions some quirky characters looking for romantic encounters, but in the end, it all comes back to that feeling of loneliness being hard to shake off.
