Romance

I agree how it sets up for the rest of the album. Every time I hear it... I imagine a guitarist who thinks they're all alone and practising but in the room next door there is a flamenco dancer who dances along to the music softly knowing that it's the closest she'll ever get to the guitarist *soul wise*. Kinda unusual I know, but it's what i've always pictured... I love it... and i can kinda play it on guitar *YAY*

this song reminds me a lot of mama... probably because its in the same key.

this is a beautiful song. it really sets the mood for honey this mirror ect.
ray toro is an amazing guitarist.

Isn't Romance from the original Dawn of the Dead? I'm sure at one bit Stephen plays it on a vinyl.

I know this is weird but it reminds me of an old wind up music box in the middle of an abandoned house, playing over and over.

Romance is dark, depressing, and beautiful. It sets the tone for the album, and was definatley worth 99 cents on iTunes =]

When I listen to this song, I can just imagine a person filming another person who is sitting in the middle of a deserted fair ground that is on fire (like on the cover) and he's just playing it right before he dies.
And all the static is him getting burnt or the camera getting hot.. like on the album cover, how it has burn marks from the fire.. that's the static noise because the film got burnt a bit.

idk if that made any sense.. but yeah =P

I'm pretty sure that it was the beginning to an older song by some other group, i just have no idea what song...................

My thoughts exactly... it's just such a lovely melody.

this song fits perfectly at the beginning of the album, it sounds a bit spanish to me??

does anyone agree??

The song in and of itself is written anonymously, so like, we don't know who it was that wrote the beautiful melody, which to me, adds beauty and makes it more melancholy. But on the album? I don't know the meaning, Bullets-wise. I like what William Control said about it setting up the album and whoever said it before that, and I can play it on guitar, too. xD

When I hear this song I think of an abandoned circus, even though the rides are still operating and everything, there isn't a living thing in sight

I think it is just to kinda set the mood for the album, Y'know because it is about two people who are killing and love each other, when I here this album it makes me think of the like 1800's, a couple then, and this song just kinda goes with it, and then it leads into the whole album about how they killed and then ended up getting killed themselves, and then in Revenge it goes onto how the guy went to save her.....

Thats just my thought though.

It does set the perfect mood for Bullets but when I hear it, it reminds me of an abandoned, run down town, maybe after a fire as the picture I get has burn marks everywhere and the air is warm. It makes me feel kinda depressed but I find it also has a slightly happy side to it, maybe someone has lost someone else and they are remembering the good times they had together. That is if any of that made any sense.

Romance is actually a famous classical guitar piece- played well i might add xD... Romance has a mood, like a somberness to it but at the same time, its almost like a beginning to any possibility which fits perfectly into Bullets and i think it really sets the damp, "silently- loud" mood for the whole CD.
