LP - Lost On You

produced by @michaelkeenanaudio & me
featuring @skizzymars

lyrics -
closure
i just wanna give you closure
so maybe i can find some closure
to start over
so now i'm reaching out for closure
i just wanted to come over
& tell you everything i never told you
but now it's over

open ended conversations
unfulfilled obligations
you say rappin ain't an occupation
well god bless u for being patient
i know it's been up & down
i know u've been lost & found
i can see u in that wedding gown
they don't love me they just love my sound
but i know you the real deal
so i gotta keep it real real
your sex appeal real ill
used to smoke joints & watch kill bill
& i know, how cliche
i know my words don't mean much
but they're all i've got
gotta give it a shot

[hook]

they say breaking up is hard to do
well waking up is harder boo
& moving on is harder, ooh
but this feeling here is nothing new
i'll always have a thing for you
even though i'm not the thing for you
you know lowkey i miss what we had
...okay, high key cause i miss you bad
i lost myself while i was tryna find u
i learned to love myself, i'm feeling brand new
& don't u think i don't got nothing to do
but life kinda sucks lonely here without you
all i got left is me, weed, & this music
all u got left is u, him, & me clueless
so i won't waste your time, & i wish you well
but sometimes this still hurts like hell

[hook]

Lyrics: 

See me as your enemy, or see me as your friend
It is 19 months since I was there, and held you in my hand
It is 18 since I told you, and you took away my name

Now when you saw me, you turned away your head
You won't forgive me, and I will understand
Now and then

Used to be your future, now you see me as your end
When you're hiding, we're colliding
Better be, and stop pretend
I was silent, you were blind
Better leave those fears behind

If you're still bleeding, see me as a friend
You won't believe me
And I will understand
Now and then
Now and then

You won't believe me
Won't be an end
I know you're done, ignored and gone, but I'm around
If you see light in fighting me, you'll be your enemy

And still today, you will not pretend
You won't believe me
And I will understand
Now and then

Now & Then

Into The Shallows

Backwards

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)

Throw Me in the Water

DEEP INTO THE WILD (feat. Volunteer)

Written by Adrian Chalifour
Composed by Adrian Chalifour, Dave Zellinsky, Jesse Boland and Dave Arter

 Head Down / Heart Up

Couldn’t keep my dreams alive
Couldn’t draw a clean line
Couldn’t rewind, Too late
So much for fate
So much for “feeling the break”

Now I just wanna break free
Drive until the tank’s on empty
Baby don’t tempt me, But I won’t leave
Not without you next to me

Staring out the window
And wishing we were some other place
Cuz this shit ain’t like the movies
Our “ever after” keeps on getting away
So we’ll ride into the sunset
And yeah it feels like running away
Cuz this shit ain’t like the movies
I heard her say:

Turn your head down / heart up! (x4)

I know we didn’t plan on it
I know that in the past I’ve been
The kind of man who can’t commit
And you can’t just sit and wait for my lead
But maybe I’m changing
I got these lines on my face
And baby I’m failing
But I’m sailing on with two heartbeats next to me

Staring out the window
And wishing we were some other place
Cuz this shit ain’t like the movies
Our “ever after” keeps on getting away
So we’ll ride into the sunset
And yeah it feels like running away
Cuz this shit ain’t like the movies
I heard her say:

Turn your head down/heart up! (x8)

We’re heading out, the open road
We’ll figure out nowhere to go
No time to dream 'bout growing old
You’re tied to me, I hope you know

Turn your head down/heart up! (x8)

Gimme That Sunshine

Kios is an indie rock band based in Nashville, TN that Indie Shuffle describes as “joyous indie-pop”, with “vibrant and uplifting melodies hard to ignore”. The three piece is made up of Cole Suddarth (vocals/guitar), Aaron Krak (drums), and Mitch Wollenberg (bass). Cole and Aaron met through a previous band that formed at Belmont University - Aaron and Mitch grew up together in Newark, Ohio; all three moved to Nashville in 2014 to pursue music.

In the summer of 2017, the trio moved in together which sparked the idea of creating music. Cole decided to spend the summer in his hometown, Richmond, Virginia, where he began writing songs and recording demos for the project. The three sent demos back and forth, drawing in on their rock and pop backgrounds and thus, Kios began. They dropped their first single, “Be Loved” in March of 2018. The trio has been compared to names such as COIN, Colony House, Bad Suns, Two Door Cinema Club, and Phoenix. They plan to release an EP by the end of summer 2018.
