Here’s the real kicker; from the entire album of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, I’m pretty sure that “Rome” wasn’t even in my top ten before hearing this remix. The original just has some odd quirks to it that I just can’t get past. But this version, while scrubbing practically all the lyrics, sets a scene perfect for relaxing.

It’s worth a listen, no matter what you think of the original. And if you’re not sure of the original, then check out the refresher course below.

This remix is a prime example of an okay song being made into a great song, and the kinda thing I live for in this industry.

I hope your ears go from okay to great. Ω

Several of the best indie artists in the business have donated rare and exclusive songs for this great cause.  So I encourage you to go to iTunes or Amazon and download these tracks.  It is a great way to get some new music and love your neighbor at the same time.  You should also check out Causes 1, which is also loaded with great artists, such as Bright Eyes, The Shins, Spoon and Death Cab. And if you go to the Causes store, you can buy both albums for just $17.
