Romantica

i just ran across something fun. A guy that i met way back is making some cool noise in minneapolis (and beyond). His band is Romantica. I heard them for the first time this AM, and i am really impressed. I want to say, "Way to go, Ben!" Check it out @ www.romanticamusic.com
This song, Mexico, recently took first place in the International Songwriting Competition in the Performance category... again, yeah Ben! You can hear it and other songs at their website. i think you'll enjoy :)... Don't just read these lyrics -- GO LISTEN!


Mexico
Written by: Ben Kyle

She wants to go to Mexico
I guess I’m happy where I am
Been talking to a boy who’s ready to go
Says he’s got a master plan
I’ll be alright on my own
Don’t worry ‘bout me
Pack your bags, your alibis
And do whatever’s gonna set you free
I never thought I’d be living without you
There’s better things to do
Than doing something new
Just because it’s new
And it takes away the blues
For a week or two
Before it comes back to haunt you
Thinking ‘bout flying to the Cotê d’Azur
Where the sun never ceases to shine
Where the water is green and the girls are blue
And the atmosphere is mine
I’ll sing my songs for a couple of francs
And maybe a bottle of wine
Drink in the romance of the Riviera dance
And the escape of time
