Why did you do it
To save a dollar
To print another penny
Way up in a high rise
While real people lose
Their lives
Hoping for a miracle
When all of this was preventable
Lone sensors
Lone people to
Blame
Why did you do it
To save a dollar

Way up in a high rise
While real people lose
Their lives
Hoping for a miracle
When all of this was preventable
Lone sensors
Lone people to
Blame
Remember wing
Of the western end
Waking up in the morning
Already ahead
A new morning
A new day
Hold the phone
Hold the plate
Concessions made
Point given
Hands held up
Questions risen
Into the evening
Interrogations
Making false claims
Of the words
For a sensation
The story of the biggest story
Larger than the eyes can see
Longer than the mind can imagine
Between the dreams
And the dragons
Where the boys turn into me
When the words slip into letters
Back then
An idea of what is coming
Might be left from the stories
Of what was already written
We just haven’t read
Split the patches in two
One over there for me
One for you
We divide we conquer
Is that the proper purpose
Of this day
And this hour
Lighter respect
I would suspect
Is needed to protect
Against the harshest
Words
Accusations
Lazy intuitions
More actions
Proactive
Than reactive
In that respect
I hope not one but many
Can detect
Such a great article. Please take a moment to read this.

Brooklyn based husband and wife duo Jillian Speece & Nathaniel Paul Hoff form the enchanting musical project that is The Bergamot. I was introduced to this band this time last week when I was sent their latest single ‘One Mile’, I was instantly impressed, not only by the song but also the work that went into the video that accompanied it. I didn’t have any knowledge of them before then, thank god I do now. These are no ordinary band, they are an Emmy Award winning band – picking up the award in 2018 for their Trailblazers documentation.
I had a quick blast through their earlier releases and was stopped swiftly in my tracks by Ceasefire. This is a song that packs a punch and gets caught in the ear instantly. The couple’s style reminds me of early Angus & Julia Stone a bit. I’m going to link that…

Love this thoughtful and insightful review. A “Bright and scintillating take on psychedelic folk.”
The Bergamot “Ceasefire” artwork
“Ceasfire” by Brooklyn, NY-based The Bergamot has a downtempo anthemic quality that reminded me a bit of Low in the past decade and a half. The fantastic vocal harmonies between husband and wife duo Nathaniel Hoff and Jillian Speece going from gently textural verses to ethereal yet forceful choruses is utterly entrancing. All the while the music starts in simple, interweaving layers of percussion, glistening guitar and breezy synths and resolves into triumphant tones. Fans of The Besnard Lakes will appreciate the bright and scintillating take on a psychedelic indie folk. Keep with The Bergamot at any of the following and listen to “Ceasefire” below.
What do I wear to a trade war
Should I examine the tag
Before I leave the house
Who called the final shot
A squeaky mouse
No rhyme
No reason
Just that time of season
