Lisztomania, by Phoenix
What is Lisztomania?
From Wikipedia: “The term “Lisztomania” was coined by the German romantic literary figure Heinrich Heine to describe the massive public response to Liszt’s virtuosic piano performances. At these performances, there were allegedly screaming women, and the audience was sometimes limited to standing room only.”
I must confess I’m not crazy about the video and although the subject matter is peculiar - I love the song. It’s almost worth watching once with your eyes closed (or just not watching the video) and then again after you’ve heard the song a first time.
