Colin's #7

Staying in Europe, let's head to Versailles, France, where we will find this alternative rock band.  The album that this song is from The album name plays off of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, using his first and middle name and replacing his last with the band's name. Thomas Mars says, “The album title is almost like a childish thing, like you’re unleashing a child into the museum and he draws a mustache on the Mona Lisa or something ... It’s kind of bratty, especially with me, my mom is German and Mozart is Austrian and in Germany it’s like messing with the Pope or something.  Off of their 2009 album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, Colin's number seven song is...

Phoenix ~ Rome 

"It ain’t easy to ignore
When your shutters are open all the way
When it’s candlelight I see I go insane
Distant silhouette somehow
We shared a cigarette somewhere
Addict till it falls, falls, 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"
