“I wrote Bergamo on the flight back to Canada after meeting someone I’d been talking to online for six months. Somewhere over the Arctic Circle, the lyrics just arrived fully formed. Then, while waiting for my connection in Toronto, the melody followed. It felt like the song was insisting on being written immediately, like I was trying to hold onto something fleeting before it slipped away. I still have those muffled voice memos buried in my phone somewhere.”
About the Song
Bergamo asks a simple but loaded question: what does falling in love actually sound like? Written in the aftermath of flying across the world to meet someone for the first time, the song captures the disorienting clarity that can follow a leap of faith: when everything feels suddenly vivid, fragile, and undeniable. It’s love in motion, shaped by distance, risk, and the quiet certainty that something real has occurred.
Style & Mood
Cinematic and expansive, Bergamo blends warm ’70s-inspired pop textures with sweeping horn lines and modern production. The track feels transportive and emotional without being indulgent; romantic, but grounded; big-hearted, yet precise. It’s a song that moves forward gently, carrying both the thrill and the vulnerability of new love.
