///

This is the first love song I wrote for Nikki - my partner in romance, art, and BODEGA. Our band, for the most part, has avoided pop’s universal subject matter, love, not because we think it an unworthy subject but because I haven’t been sure how to approach it in BODEGA’s style. I wrote the kernel of the lyrics in 2016 but didn’t set them to a finished song until working on the BROKEN EQUIPMENT album in 2020 (where I discovered the descending riff which seemed to evoke the euphoria of a new crush).

Nikki recently developed experimental film footage she shot in Boston nearly ten years ago and realized how much her footage rhymed with the architectural, aquatic, and erotic motifs of the 'Pillar on the Bridge of You' lyrics. We shot new performance footage this week and I edited her old footage with the new, giving a second life to her original images. In my mind it's sort of a sequel to our 'Charlie' music vid.
