Top 100: #71

Number 71: Phoenix - Lisztomania
Album: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, 2009.
Added 4/7/09, 40 plays.



This is not the official music video, but it is more fun.

Lisztomania was the phenomenon of hysteria directed towards Hungarian pianist Franz Liszt (1811 – 1886) during his performances, but I doubt that's what this song is about. It's very vague, but the lyrics deal with letting go, burning pictures, and being unhappy, so, I don't know, let's call it a breakup song? At any rate, the tune is almost triumphant, and one of the better summer jams of the past few years. Five thumbs up!

Also, I'd like to say hi to everyone reading in Poland!
