This month’s song could only be Rome by Phoenix due to my recent stay in this astonishing city.
During my stay in Rome, I was really taken by its historical past and, in particular, by the overwhelming Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Nothing captures the power of the Roman Empire more than these two pieces of history...
This song has been in my list of special songs for a while now. I could not take it out of my head from the moment I landed in the city, trying to figure out the original inspiration of the lyrics and imagining the person in the story standing in front of the majestic Colosseum, as the song itself suggests.
In fact, one of the highlights of my entire stay was a night walk around the lit-up Colosseum – an unforgettable image of magnificence.
A special song for a special city.
Enjoy!
ROME
(written by Laurent Mazzalai, Frederic Moulin,
Thomas Croquet and Christian Mazzalai)
Who's the boy you like the most?
Is he teasing you with underage?
Could he be waving from a tropical sunset?
Static silhouette somehow
Single in this bed someday
Quiet till it fall, fall, falls!
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Focus looking forward the Colosseum
Oh no, what did I say? What can I say?
Rome, Rome, many tears have fallen here
I'll be driving, you look the other way
That ain't easy to ignore
When shutters open all the way
When it's candlelight I see I go insane
Distant silhouette somehow
We shared a cigarette somewhere
Addict till it fall, fall, falls!
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Focus looking forward the Colosseum
Oh no, what did I say? What can I say?
Rome, Rome, many tears have fallen here
I'll be driving, you look the other way
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Always and forevermore
I call to say I'm on the way
2000 years remain in a trash can
Let burn the cigarette somewhere
Ashes till it fall, fall, falls!
I stand outside under broken leaves
I know I can't do without, the future's trying to wait
I've never loved you and if I loved you
I wouldn't say that I'm sorry, oh no
I stand outside under broken leaves
Always and forevermore
We're together dead and lonely
I thought I couldn't do this without you
Single in this bed somewhere
Ashes till it fall, fall, falls!
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Is he teasing you with underage?
Could he be waving from a tropical sunset?
Static silhouette somehow
Single in this bed someday
Quiet till it fall, fall, falls!
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Focus looking forward the Colosseum
Oh no, what did I say? What can I say?
Rome, Rome, many tears have fallen here
I'll be driving, you look the other way
That ain't easy to ignore
When shutters open all the way
When it's candlelight I see I go insane
Distant silhouette somehow
We shared a cigarette somewhere
Addict till it fall, fall, falls!
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Focus looking forward the Colosseum
Oh no, what did I say? What can I say?
Rome, Rome, many tears have fallen here
I'll be driving, you look the other way
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Always and forevermore
I call to say I'm on the way
2000 years remain in a trash can
Let burn the cigarette somewhere
Ashes till it fall, fall, falls!
I stand outside under broken leaves
I know I can't do without, the future's trying to wait
I've never loved you and if I loved you
I wouldn't say that I'm sorry, oh no

Always and forevermore
We're together dead and lonely
I thought I couldn't do this without you
Single in this bed somewhere
Ashes till it fall, fall, falls!
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
