Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome

You barely make out what he is singing. But the electronic web wraps you, draws you in, echoing in an infinite yet closed auditorium, inducing a trance-like 4-min.

And he kept singing Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome.

The band "Phoenix" is from Paris. It's singer Thomas Mars married the directer Sofia Coppala in 2011, whose "Lost in Translation" is one of my favorites.  For a French band, Phoenix' music is more British or New-York sounding than chanson. But there is a polished side of it that surely reminds me of Paris.

Strange thing is, even after the 99th repeated play, I still can't figure out what Rome is supposed to mean..
