Barcelona Girl - Single

Barcelona Girl

Red Bow

Quietly yet confidently building ballad of love and loss.

World Of Blue

Relationships are hard. These 2 high school sweethearts from Indiana have sonically plotted out a melody drenched tune for how to survive turmoil and uncertainty. "P.D.R" reflects on the duo's journey through the music industry, recent public snub by Hollywood, and overall rocky patch in a weathered relationship.

The song also marks a major milestone for The Bergamot working with world-renowned mixer and producer Matt Wiggins to mix the track (Glass Animals, London Grammar, The Horrors).

"P.D.R." is a forward-looking contemporary interpretation of The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" stacked harmonies, strung out verb drenched Strats, and thick textured harpsichord and strings to round out this lush production. The hook is emphatic and grabbing with a distant synth hooking your ear at first listen.

The song is based on Playa del Rey, a romantic beach town nestled on the south-western tip of Los Angeles where the couple found themselves in their 312,000 mile old "Unity Car" with the window down and the rain falling on both of them. 

"Life just seemed so confusing at that particular point in time - it was all just hitting us as we sat in silence taking in the swells of the Pacific Ocean on our left and the arriving international flights at LGA over our heads." reflects Hoff. "Those planes lit up like fireballs falling from the sky."

"What were we doing there? Why had we come to L.A.? Our car was on the brink - WE were on the brink" relays Speece. "We put everything we had into that track... and everything WE DIDN'T!"

The song weaves the listener through the idea of "Holding on" in the beginning as being held back, yet reprieves with a optimistic turn by the bridge "With everything uncertain, I think we will be O.K." to bring the track back to a positive light and somehow reign in the dream track to inspire and strike an optimistic tone. 

The guitar swells, the dreamy vocals and harmonies - this piece would be a visual accompaniment to Claude Monet's "Rough Sea". The song attempts to create a sonic seascape of lyrical imagery and instrumental precision. 

PLAYA DEL REY (PDR)
Lyrics Written by Nathaniel Paul © 2017
-
Down on the coastline
Airplanes and street signs
West of the 405
While we were waiting
I wish you'd just say it
Those words 
Tied up in your head

We were hopeless
The windows were open
Watching the planes fly by
The clouds were rolling
The salty air from the ocean
Those lights
Burning up in the sky

I'm worried
About the words you said
About the words you said
About the words you said

I feel like I've waited all my life
Holding on, holding on
Holding on, holding on

I feel like I have waited all my life
Holding on, holding on
Holding on, holding on

We were alone now
When we let our guards down
Taught ourselves to be free
The thin winter moonlight
Our hands held tight
Our lives drift off to sea

I'm worried
About the words you said
About the words you said
About the words you said

I feel like I've waited all my life
Holding on, holding on
Holding on, holding on

With everything uncertain
I think we will be O.K. 

I feel like I've waited all my life
Holding on, holding on
Holding on, holding on

I feel like I've waited all my life
Holding on, holding on
Holding on, holding on

P.D.R.

Lyrics:

[v1]
We made a mess, but I don’t mind
It made sense to be friends for a long time, but
Here we are so what do we do now
Maybe we’re afraid cause we got something to lose now
Good enough, but it looks like we shot it
So if we’ve already given up
Do we stop it?

[v2]
We’ve been in the same cycle for a while
Swimming up against the current and we wonder why we struggle
When we stop saying what we mean when we mean it
Stop having any hope when we know we believe it
And we repeat it ‘til we drop it
If we’re gonna fall apart
Do we stop it?

[bridge]
Stop saying that we weren’t enough
Stop saying that I wasn’t enough
Stop thinking you can call my bluff
Stop thinking that you’re calling my bluff
You’re not cause
I’ve gotten good at getting over you
You gave me plenty of practice
“We can’t be mad about it if we laugh about it”
And you can’t stop laughing

Stop It (Stripped)

Pick Myself Up

Eskimo Recordings presents The Purple Collection, out March 2nd. http://www.eskimorecordings.com/newsdetail.php?idn=4910

Fresh from releasing Bill Brewster's 'Tribal Rites' compilation, a critically acclaimed trawl through the past 4 decades of dance music, Belgium's Eskimo Recordings return to the present and look to the future with the release of 'The Purple Collection', the 7th release in the label's annual colour series of compilations. Featuring brand new tracks from the likes of Simple Symmetry, Cavego and Future Feelings alongside recent label highlights from Horixon, Atella, Paresse and NTEIBINT, 'The Purple Collection' provides another essential snapshot into today's electronic music scene, covering everything from underground house & disco to sparkling electronica and leftfield pop.

Brooklyn based producer IV Edition teams up with singer-songwriter Lilianna Wilde -both Canadian- for the languid, nostalgic jam that is 'Whose Man’s', a track that breathes light whilst also managing to sample the sound of rain falling in a forest and a close-up recording of fire ants, which is probably the point where any yacht rock comparisons end. https://soundcloud.com/ivedition https://soundcloud.com/liliannawilde

The Doors of Perception” inspired Saavan's new single 'Like Fire'. The song invites you to escape from the individualistic and young-minded world we live in and appreciate how complex our existence is . SAAVAN is the search for an escape from a world obsessed with a fictitious reality that distracts us from what counts, at the risk of remaining a solitary observer to the surrounding madness.

SAAVAN – LIKE FIRE (LYRICS)

If you find out
your mind is just a piece
of something bigger...
Gotta be ready for it
I have
some doubts, but still,
I'll open the doors and see
Rolling in silence
We'll be falling with pride
We're surrounded
Young minds in a chaos
In case you find
this hard to achieve
don't be a quiter,
gotta be ready for it
Be warned
'till now you've lived
in a lower land, now feel.
Now open the doors and see.

Like Fire

Lyrics:

if the sun goes dark someday 
all the stars fall out from space
oh, solace me, my enlightened one
with no stars and with no sun

and if the blue moon didn’t come
wasn’t new, it just wandered on
to some other earth and some other sun 
would you also go love some other one?

take me with you, Maria, please
I'm so full and I need to empty
I set all my glittering cotton alight
on the bitter chance you'll restore my sight

I'd leave my body and my blood behind
on just the faith you're the one to find

Maria

Way Back Home

Better When We're Together

Montana raised.
California based. 
Thanks for listening.

Take You There
