about

As Mother’s Day approaches, we are excited to announce the release of a new single Bones of You, dedicated to celebrating the unwavering love of mothers everywhere.
Bones of You is a powerful and emotive tribute to the incredible strength, love and resilience of mothers. With its haunting melody and poignant lyrics, the song speaks to the unique bond between a mother and her child, and the enduring impact that this bond has on our lives.

lyrics

When I was young I was wild
When I was young I was wild
My mother would say, I know the bones of you, child

We ebb and we flow like the waves on the shore
We ebb and we flow like the waves on the shore
Push and pull till we can't take it anymore

I see myself in daughters' eyes
I see my mother too
We grow from shoots of the ancient vines
I am the bones of you
I am the bones of you

The taste of her perfume lingers on my tongue
The taste of her perfume lingers on my tongue
Like notes of a song that's already been sung

I see myself in my daughters' eyes
I see my mother too
We age like a fine wine through the passing of time
I am the bones of you
I am the bones of you

When you were young you were wild
When you were young you were wild
I say to you now, I love the bones of you, child
