The Bergamot - Bones


October 03, 2019

What we love about discovering new tracks: the power of music! You know, when you see a song that has a pretty hard theme, like suicide prevention... First of all, you're tempted to think, “Wow. It doesn't speak to me. I don't want to hear about it just yet. Maybe later". Then you take a break. And think "After all, why later?". And as you listen to the song, you realize that it can speak to you, too. You see? The power of music.

Making great music is always fun, of course! But making useful music is even more interesting! This song was released by The Bergamot (an amazing group made up of spouses Nathaniel and Jillian). We have already featured another track, "LA" in July, in the videos section.

“Bones” was released on September 10. And it's no accident: it's World Suicide Prevention Day. As the lyrics can be interpreted in different ways, it can be linked to suicide or some very difficult times that we all go through. And the story behind this song is very interesting, says Nathaniel:

“ The opening lines of BONES are the first words I said to my brother after he went to rehab for the second time. My family had to intervene in a suicide attempt on Christmas Day 2016. 3 months later, we sat together on the shores of Lake Michigan as he listened to BONES for the first time. Tears streaming down his face, he then said he wanted to send this song to all his friends in rehab. ”My brother is alive to this day. BONES speaks the truth with love; we cannot just shirk our burden."

That's the power of this song: it can speak to a lot of people, despite their different adventures. And if you liked "LA" and "Bones", good news, we will be presenting the new single from The Bergamot very soon. Stay tuned!
