"Au Nom de la rose" is a 1999 song recorded by French singer Moos. The song was released on 13 April 1999 as the second single from his sole album Le Crabe est érotique. It became a smash hit in France and Belgium (Wallonia) where it remained for several months atop of the singles chart.
The song is a partly cover version in French-language of the Francis Lai song (Where Do I Begin?) Love Story, originally recorded as theme song for the 1970 movie Love Story directed by Arthur Hiller. Only the chorus is similar, and the lyrics are changed and deal with loss and love in a sensual way. The lyrics were written by Moos, and Lai's music reworked by Moos and Pascal Castro.[1]
The song has been added to many French compilations such as Hit Express 8, Hit Connection – Best Of 1999 (released as the time of the song), and Top 50 : 20 ans de tubes Vol. 1 (2007). It has also been included on Hits de diamant, a best of containing big hits in France.
