Phoenix Rome (Neighbors and Devendra Banhart Remix)

This cover of Phoenix's Rome starts off at the bridge, which is probably my favorite part of the original song, and certainly a highlight of the album. If you had told me that this specific bridge is where thisremix started before I'd actually heard the song, I would probably have told you that it would be impossible to achieve the true beautywithout the build up before it. And I don't think I would have been wrong. But I might have been pleasantly surprised.

Devandra Banhart and Neighbors' cover of this song lingers in the bridge. It doesn't leave it, setting a mellow mood throughout, and demonstrating the pure genius of the full album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. To be able to pull out a single bridge and develop an entirely new song is a compliment to both those doing the remix and those being remixed. Personally, I can't wait to hear each and every unreleased track of the soon to be remixed album.
