The lead up eerie border-town short videos for FX’s “The Bridge’ has hooked me I and I will be tuning in for the pilot episode July 10th at 10pm.
The theme song, “Until I’m One With You,” written and performed by Ryan Bingham is a great aesthetic fit for the program.
The gritty program is loosely adapted from a popular Scandinavian crime drama. The American version follows two detectives as they hunt down a serial killer slaughtering women on both side of the El Paso, Texas and Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico border.
Bingham does the song with a fittingly chilling delivery. Chiming acoustic guitar answered by electric guitar, his gravel-road rasps a sentiment that slithers from desire to claustrophobic obsession.
Until I’m one with you
Until I’m one with you
My heart shall not pass through
It’ll only be forsaken
Until I’m one with you
Our world is torn in two
Until I’m one with you
Our love will be mistaken
Until I’m one with you
My death they will pursue
Until I’m one with you
My life will be degraded
Until I’m one with you
