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.

To Each His Storm
Rome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You just might
Be blinded by this crown's golden light
You just might
Be putting yourself in the flame
Which can only burn in shame
Our lawless life
Because you too could
Ennoble yourself
Through rebelling
But what good are they
Ideals soaked in blood
What good are they
Buried in the mud
To each his ground
On which to flourish
To each his storm in which to perish
But now that we've shed our clothes
And shared our oaths
There's no way back for you
Don't kid yourself
We'd rather be mad than delighted
You'd rather be entertained
Than enlightened
There's no way back to you
To each his ground
On which to flourish
To each his storm in which to perish
To each his ground
To each his ground
To each his ground
On which to flourish
To each his storm in which to perish
To each his ground
To each his ground
This is too close, far too close
You just might
Be blinded by this crown's golden light
You just might
Be putting yourself in the flame
Die Keller versiegelt
Die Bücher eingestampft
Die Bibliotheken verriegelt
Die Schriften verbrannt
Die Zeitungen geschwärzt
Die Portraits gewechselt
Die Vorstellungen gestört
Die Theater geschlossen
Die Filme zerstört
Die Spiegel erblindet
In "To Each His Storm," Rome explores the allure of rebellion and the danger of following that path. The first verse warns that getting too close to the crown's golden light can be blinding and may lead to shame. The following lines suggest that the lawless life of rebellion is appealing because it can ennoble oneself, but at what cost? Ideals soaked in blood and buried in mud serve no good purpose. The chorus brings forth the idea that each person has their own ground on which they can flourish, but in rebellion, that ground can easily become a storm in which they will ultimately perish.
The second verse begins with a picture of a dystopian society where the government controls the media and the arts. It speaks of "The Cellar Sealed, The Books Stamped, The Libraries Locked," and finally, "The Films Destroyed, The Mirrors Blinded." The lyrics paint a bleak picture of a world where creativity and freedom of expression are suppressed. The final chorus reiterates that each person has their own ground on which they can either flourish or perish, and there is no going back once you've committed yourself to a certain path.
Overall, the song warns against blind rebellion and asks the listener to consider the consequences of their actions. It presents the idea that each person has the power to choose their own path, but that choice comes with responsibility.

This is too close, far too close
We are dangerously close to a deceptive lifestyle
You just might Be blinded by this crown's golden light
You may be blinded by the glamour of the lifestyle we lead
You just might Be putting yourself in the flame Which can only burn in shame
You may be putting yourself in a dangerous situation that will only end in disgrace
Our lawless life Just seems so compelling
Our reckless way of life appears attractive and alluring
Because you too could Ennoble yourself Through rebelling
You could elevate yourself through defying authority
But what good are they Ideals soaked in blood
What worth do violent ideals truly hold?
What good are they Buried in the mud
What value is there in ideals forgotten in history?
To each his ground On which to flourish
Everyone has their own place to thrive
To each his storm in which to perish
Everyone has their own path to destruction
But now that we've shed our clothes And shared our oaths
Now that we've let our guards down and become vulnerable to each other
There's no way back for you Don't kid yourself
You cannot return to your former self, do not deceive yourself
We'd rather be mad than delighted
We would rather be insane than content
You'd rather be entertained Than enlightened
You would rather be amused than informed
To each his ground On which to flourish
Everyone has their own place to thrive
To each his storm in which to perish
Everyone has their own path to destruction

The basements are sealed, the books are stamped, the libraries are locked, the writings are burned, the newspapers are blacked out, the portraits are swapped, the performances are interrupted, the theaters are closed, the films are destroyed, the mirrors are blinded
