Roll It Up

"The Bergamot's Lush 'L.A.' Song and Video Is a Feast for the Ears and Eyes"
-PARADE Magazine [Preimere]

The Bergamot's New Single - L.A. Out everywhere on June 28th.

So many great songs have been written about heading out west, not so many about leaving.

Somewhere between the lavish lives of the successful tycoon and the struggling artist, is the everyday story of someone packing up. Quietly moving on to the next phase of life. Getting away from the lure of dreams and distant hopes, and into the harsh reality: what comes after the dreams silently slip away? L.A. attempts to take a look at moving on with a dimly veiled eye of reality - with an ever persisting hope "I WANT to believe in you" but alas here we are.

The distorted howls call out to the listener, darkening an already bleak scenario. Almost as if a dream, being pulled from the light, falls into the depths of one's memories. The music lurches on with a tribal beating - simple yet pushing - as the kick drum distorts the mix. The fleet-fingered acoustic guitars wind in an element of natural beauty, yet arriving at an uncertain resolve. The song contains what we have come to know as our sonic signature - a harmonious cacophony of layered vocals over a minimal mix. Resolving into a tailspin of sounds including feedback looped pianos through guitar amps, guitars through synths, taking the listener to it's final resting spot as the harmonies begin their final chant "Goodbye L.A." - "I want to believe in you" - "Goodbye L.A." - "I want to believe in you". 

The song "L.A." was originally written in the key of C, but in the studio was dropped to D to help deliver more of a crooning timbre for the lead vocals. Overall, I hope the song speaks to the emotion of moving on. Whether it be love - or dreams - this song attempts to illustrate an emotional perspective where you have to let go, but hopefully, are not lost. 

LYRICS

She left L.A. with a song in her head
Elle left L.A. and off she went
She left for the city with the stars in her eyes
Elle left L.A. and she doesn't know why
So she's moving on
By the time I write this song
She'll be gone

The kids all cried 'cuz they don't understand
Elle left L.A. this was never the plan
She's hoping for a life living out there on the road
She was hoping for something new 'cuz she was growing old
So she's moving on
By the time I write this song
She'll be gone

Goodbye L.A.
Goodbye L.A.
Goodbye L.A.
Goodbye L.A.

She packed her bags and she wrote this note
Now she's gone
Now she's gone
She made her way while I wrote this song
Now she's gone
Now she's gone

Oh
Oh
Goodbye L.A.
Goodbye L.A.
Goodbye L.A.
Goodbye L.A.
I want to believe in you
Goodbye L.A.
I want to believe in you
Goodbye L.A.
Goodbye L.A.

L.A.

The dream is to go back. The nightmare is that we never can. 

•

During quarantine, I had to make a trip to the grocery store. I met an elderly man who struck up a conversation with me. We almost seemed to be kindred spirits. He began the conversation with “Life is hard when you outlive all the ones you love.” 

 •

It seemed like a bit of a quick start to a conversation, but I could tell he just needed someone to talk to. After talking for a while, I felt this sense that he had that the world at large had forgotten about him. But, he had created a plan to travel the world on a train he had read about. He could work on the train and it would take him across the world. He was amidst planning his way out. “songbird” was a direct inspiration from that moment. This idea of life after all that you love and care for is gone. His story resonated with me in the way that I feel from COVID taking away so many small businesses - so many dreams from all of us. 

•

But what do we do now? Where do we go from here? 

•

“songbird” hopes to take you to a place of hope amidst a looming dark shadow 

cast over the world.
