Relation to the myth of Persephone and Demeter

The link below is a song by Sam Cooke that I thought related to Eros, son of Aphrodite. I know that Eros isn't cupid, but the relation connects that Eros shot the arrow that made Hades in love with Persephone. Or, you could look at this song from Hades' point of view. This being that he wants Eros to shoot him with an arrow so he can fall in love with Persephone. (Just try to get a mental image of Eros actually drawing back his arrow to shoot at Hades.)
