[TheDoubleEmz]

@PeaceluvErin

It's not just 'a famous guy'

It's Franz Lizst, an awesome Hungarian songwriter from the 1800s.

[frfx1]

can u fix the static

[n8dogg87]

Why are the vocals on every track so fucking samey.

It's a shame because each individual song is pretty inoffensive indie pop that's nice to listen to, but when you listen to the album as a whole, you get the same vocal hooks in every song.

[DJMetalHead98]

Wrong!

[stonedandfree]

sooo chill. love it!

[Kinngvon]

Lisztomania is a fan frenzy people got during Franz Liszt's concerts

[Haleyroxpiano]

They remind me of the Beatles, except I can't really understand this XD I like it though.

[moomilkboy]

the song has no meaning.... the words in the song are not meant to be poetry but instead a another instrument. the way the words sound mixed with the tune of the song and the singer's ability to sing make it amazing.

[ytpmv4u]

this makes me mad cause this person probably didnt even get the real lyrics he just tried to hear them out butt some are wrong

[11littleaboog]

[hotblooded94]

@acidrespawn i ask that every day

[dickfaceanusV2]

[Elkotend]

[TheTimplatte]

It's hard to believe a song like this would be on a game like NBA 2K11

[kbaez22]

....So underrated..

[bbourke85]

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[paulozerati]

[MsJk4ever]

like a riot like a riot oh ! i like dat part :D...... loves this song!!

[iTzHaZeCA]

@nickyg14 jugulate is french :)

[ninportkoi]

C'est un peu à propos de l'hystérie collective qui nous entoure, je pense.... De la stupidité de la hierarchisation, du tout compris et de la facilité. C'est une chanson formidable qui me fait du bien. Non à l'élitisme, finalement.... moi c'est ce que j'en comprends... Et ça me fait du bien!!! Tant pis si c'est pas ça! Expliquez-moi! ;-p

[DrDylin212]

lol, some unlucky person had a seizure from this pure awesomeness and clicked dislike by accedent. After recovering, he was so mad he clicked dislike he watched the video 17,060 times, gave 35 likes, and then shot himself

[jadco]

@DrDylin212 Charlie!!!!!!

[CDsnuts000]

wooooo 

[Gulleygrim]

thumbs up for great fucking song

[tohruyukisprincess]

What is this song about!?

Cuz I mean I frigen love it, but I don't get it. . .

Someone pweety pwease explain it to me!

[xXBlueSpitFireXx]

i think the song means that this guy broke up wit this girl but regrets it or they want to be friends. im not sure.

[Amigirl19]

@xXBlueSpitFireXx google listomania and frank liszt and the movie lisztomania

[DSGSmiley615]

@xXBlueSpitFireXx franz liszt was really popular in his time and he had crazy concerts where women would go crazy. this was called "lisztomania". it means craziness and really famous. keep in mind that screaming women weren't common in in the 1880s. @PeaceLuvErin is right

[nunchuckskills12]

@xXBlueSpitFireXx No, its about Lisztomania, a intense or hysterical feeling towards a popular figure. Have you ever head of 'Bieber fever'? That's what Lisztomania is basically.

[ToonBeast]

Random stuff

[PeaceLuvErin]

@tohruyukisprincess google search the title..its the title of a film, called Lisztomania, which basically about a famous guy who played piano, and he gave cocerts that were really crazy "like a riot"  so, its just talking about rockstars and priveliged people

[Cryptopsy9666]

@PeaceLuvErin Its more than that... He says.. ok.. gentleman... yes you have been through stuff.. u have money.. gentleman, you're with the rich.. now what?... are u really.. interested in wealth or are you really interested in your life? l ol:) it also, explains the Disgustingness of fake love lol PeacE! ;!)

[HairyWhiteGuy]

@PeaceLuvErin Franz Liszt is the guy who played piano. Classical dude from the 1800s

[spearification]

@tohruyukisprincess google lisztomania.(:

[planeace1]

@tohruyukisprincess

this is what the band said about this song

"when your in a weird moment of your life, and your kind of two people, and you don't know which one you really are"

"From a mess to the masses, that maybe sums up the whole song"

:) maybe that helps.

[2954264]

@tohruyukisprincess If you google Lisztomania is was a movie made a while ago. might have something to do with the movie.

[Kingma1997]

@tohruyukisprincess

Lisztomania or Liszt fever is a term used to describe the intense fan frenzy directed toward Franz Liszt during his performances. This frenzy first occurred in Berlin in 1841 and was later coined by Heinrich Heine in a feuilleton he wrote on April 25, 1844, discussing the 1844 Parisian concert season. The word is a portmanteau of "Liszt" and "mania". Lisztomania was characterized by intense levels of hysteria demonstrated by fans.

[slaytesics]

@tohruyukisprincess This song is about fan obsession/hysteria with Liszt (composer), a very popular musician back in his day

[ReeAnnInn]

@tohruyukisprincess I actually, think it might be about the world, and how it's supposed to be according to the media/hollywood/etc. I may be wrong, though. xD

[Jesusismyonlylove77]

@tohruyukisprincess In my opinion this song has nothing to do with a breakup. Lisztomania is a term used for Franz Liszt and the crowds response to his performances. The song talks about fame and how it's gained and lost quickly with the constant changing public opinion. It's talking about how fame can come and go, and how to deal with both. It seems that the person in the lyrics gained the fame, and after losing it he questions how it could have been different and feels very sentimental over it

[PatrolingTheSnow]

@tohruyukisprincess This song is about the "mania" and life style of Austrian/German composer Franz Liszt. By mania I mean, the obsession. For example "beatlemania".

[lmw7987]

@tohruyukisprincess its a song about the fanatics and hype of composer franz list. they referred to all the crazniess as listomania. =)
