1) ROME is a Luxembourgish neofolk act founded in late 2005 as the main output for the songs of Jerome Reuter and was joined by co-producer Patrick Damiani as official member in early 2008. ROME signed to the Swedish label CMI in 2006 to release an EP titled "Berlin" (June 2006) and the albums "Nera" (November 2006), "Confessions d'un voleur d'ames" (April 2007), "Masse Mensch Material" (March 2008). In 2009 ROME got signed to the german label Trisol and released the EP "To Die Among Strangers" (May 2009) and the album "Flowers From Exile" (June 2009).
In their earlier work ROME mixes influences of Industrial and Neofolk with Experimental and Electronic Pop. The traditions of (French) Chanson and (American) Folk are becoming more and more influential in their current work. In 2009 violin player Nikos Mavridis officially joined the band to further contribute to the creation of their unique sound, which they themselves refer to as Chanson Noir. Nikos left the band in late 2010 to answer the army's call and Patrick found himself more and more tied up in the work for his own professional recording studio in Germany. ROME released the EP "L'assassin" in early 2010, shortly before going into hiatus, followed by the full length "Nos chants perdus". In 2011, Jerome, the project's only real flag-bearer, recorded and released the trilogy "Die Aesthetik Der Herrschaftsfreiheit" (Trisol) and has taken up touring again with his new band mates Patrick Kleinbauer, Eric Emmel and Tom Luciani. ROME's lyrics often deal with anarchism and are demanding freedom and equal rights for all people on earth.

3) Rome was a smooth R&B singer, born Jerome Woods in Benton Harbor, MI, USA. Early on, he sang along with his mother's soul records (Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke) as well as in the local church choir. He joined an R&B cover band named Fire & Ice while in high school, and traveled around the region performing in local clubs and talent contests as a solo act and with the band. Woods dropped out of Alabama's Oakwood University in 1989 to pursue his dream on the West Coast, and toured with Vesta as a backing vocalist as well as appearing in industry showcases and cable-access programs.
Finally, he connected with producers Gerald Baillergeau and Victor Merrit, who sent his demo to RCA Records. The label signed him immediately, and he began working on his debut album in mid-1996.

A Man Needs a Man Friend
Rome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
teaching dogs to brush their teeth.
Think of me as the meat of things.
Dream and ejaculate gasoline.
I got a broken leg
running away from the egg parade.
These are the days
when a girl's in the way
or close a buffet. . .
Jerk you're late for the work you hate!
Spit out the grin from your mouth!
You gotta get down to Retardville;
there will be other things to think about.
Daily you will find me
teaching dogs to brush their teeth.
Think of me as the meat of things.
Dream and ejaculate gasoline.
I got a broken leg
running away from the egg parade.
These are the days
when a girl's in the way
to open a casket
or close a buffet. . .
Jerk you're late for the work you hate!
Spit out the grin from your mouth!
You gotta get down to Retardville;
there will be other things to think about.
The lyrics of Rome's song "A Man Needs a Man Friend" appear to be a collection of seemingly disjointed phrases, images, and associations that challenge the listener's ability to create meaning out of them. The song begins with a surreal image of someone teaching dogs to brush their teeth, which immediately sets the tone of absurdity and humor. The singer then invites the listener to think of them as the "meat of things," possibly hinting at their centrality in their own experience.
The next line "Dream and ejaculate gasoline" is perhaps one of the most cryptic phrases in the song. It could be interpreted in many ways, such as a reference to the singer's potential creative energy or their desire for power or dominance. The image of running away from "the egg parade" with a broken leg is another nonsensical image that adds to the surreal nature of the song.
Amidst all this absurdity, there seems to be a sense of frustration or restlessness. The singer seems to be urging someone else to stop being late for the work they hate and to "spit out the grin from your mouth." The repetition of the line "You gotta get down to Retardville" perhaps suggests a need to let go of societal expectations and norms and embrace a more unconventional way of thinking and being.
Overall, the lyrics of "A Man Needs a Man Friend" are open to interpretation and leave a lot of room for the listener's imagination to fill in the gaps. The song invites the listener to embrace the absurd and to seek alternative ways of understanding the world and oneself.
