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.

That's The Way I Feel About Cha'
Rome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody wants love
But everybody's afraid of love
You know, I'm a true believer
If you get anything out of life
You got to put up with the toil and strife
Ooh You're pushin' my love
I don't think you know
I don't think you know how blest you are
And your friend Annie May tell you all she see
Have you, ever thought she was tryin' to get close to me
Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over
That's the way I feel about 'cha
That's the way I feel about 'cha
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
I know you've been hurt and so have many others too
But that's the sacrifice that life put you thru
Put you thru, put you thru
Trust in me, my dear, have no fear
You don't know but God might have sent me here, sent me here
Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over
That's the way I feel about 'cha
(Any of us can leave for a long adventure)
That's the way I feel about 'cha
Don't take my love as a sign of weakness
Check into the situation, girl
Dig a little deeper
Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over
That's the way I feel about 'cha
That's the way I feel about 'cha
The lyrics of Rome's song "That's The Way I Feel About Cha" tap into the dichotomy of human nature- our desire for love and connection while simultaneously being afraid of it. The singer acknowledges this paradox, saying that "everybody wants love, but everybody's afraid of love." However, he is a "true believer" in the importance of putting up with the "toil and strife" of life in order to have a fulfilling existence that includes love.
The singer seems to be directing his words towards a specific person, telling them that they are "pushin' my love a little bit too far." He also implies that their friend Annie May might have ulterior motives in telling them things about him. Despite this, he urges the person to "think it over," saying that he doesn't mind and asking them to trust him and not be afraid.
The song ends with the singer cautioning the person to not take his love as a sign of weakness and to "dig a little deeper" into the situation. Overall, the lyrics suggest a complex and nuanced view of love and relationships, acknowledging the difficulties but ultimately affirming their importance.
