Elijah woods’s latest single “Skin & Bones” is a love letter to the person who you hold most dear in your life. Every moment you wake up, you fondly remember that you’re with someone as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. There is a close bond between you two that has evolved into a blossoming future alongside each other. The vows you make to each other are built on moments you have shared together. Wherever they go, no matter how far or how unfamiliar, you will follow. It is a long-lasting connection that is made unbreakable by the home you have built together. You couldn’t imagine even death ending the love that has flourished between the both of you. Even when they are skin and bones, you could never imagine loving anyone other than the beautiful person they have always been.
“Skin & Bones” is an indie pop anthem that utilizes light instrumentals and vocals to curate an atmosphere that is as loving as its story. Just starting out, we are introduced to simple yet melodic guitar strums. The guitar playing alone with a full melodic line establishes the sweet, intimate nature that Woods describes in this love letter. When the vocals begin, there is a sincerity and breathy tone that feels as though the listener is being sung to. The chorus introduces us to a higher vocal register that resembles the sickly sweet adoring verbiage used to describe love. There are some proclamations of love that delve into the peak of your range. The duo of simple guitar and high register vocals remain as they intertwine around each other. These two elements do not need more to showcase the narrative they are retelling through music.
