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.

One Flesh
Rome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
yellow evening window
And I'm down on my knees
Drained to heaven
where you may fall asleep
softly and in peace.
One flesh we are
No man hates his own kind
while he is alive.
One flesh we are
And shall be still
And I shall never tired
of honouring you.
Heaven knows men is the tear I've shed
I know I won't ever forget
for one flesh we are
and shall be still
and I shall never tired
of honouring you.
And heaven knows I promise I'll try
To live, to die with dignity
you've taught me.
For one flesh we are
and shall be still
and I shall never tired
of honouring you.
For one flesh we are...
The song "One Flesh" by Rome is a beautiful ballad that speaks to the unbreakable bond between two people who are deeply in love. The lyrics talk about seeing the person you love in their yellow evening window, and feeling drained to heaven where they may fall asleep softly and in peace. This shows how the singer is in awe of his partner and how they bring him a sense of calmness and ease.
The chorus starts with the line "One flesh we are and shall be still," which is a biblical reference to the book of Genesis where it talks about a man and a woman becoming one flesh in a marriage. The singer is using this reference to show how inseparable he and his partner are. He then goes on to say that "no man hates his own kind while he is alive," which reinforces the idea of how love brings us together and creates a deeper sense of connection between us.
In the last verse, the singer talks about the tears he has shed and how he will never forget the love he shares with his partner. He promises to live and die with dignity, all thanks to the lessons she's taught him. This is a touching tribute to the power of love and how much it can impact and shape our lives.
Overall, "One Flesh" is a moving and poetic tribute to love and the profound impact it can have on us. The lyrics are beautifully written and capture the raw emotions that come with being in love.
