Nashville-based singer-songwriter Anastasia Elliot dives deep into emotions on her bold new single, "Bones." An equal measure of playfulness and unease, this track presents the complex feelings that come with fighting through inner demons, all contained in a captivatingly energetic soundscape.
Co-written by Eric Rosse, Connor Pledger, and Joshua Crosby, "Bones" presents a design paradox. Underneath all of its ebullience and riotous pranks lies a darker emotional current, a shallow grasp on pain, control, and futile efforts to seize personal power through the wrong means. Written by Joshua Crosby and Anastasia Elliot, the track fuses theatrical power with sleek contemporary production to craft a sound that is alluring yet raw.
What gives "Bones" its particular poignancy, however, is the truth hidden inside all that garbled chaos. Anastasia Elliot unpacks the emotional collateral when that best laid plan goes off at the wrong moment. The song is about the enticing rush of using distraction, and temporary connection to pretend we are healing, when really none of us can take any of us anywhere that is not transient.
It is this emotional duality that gives "Bones" its bite. These surface level fun attributes of the music are eclipsed by the deep-rooted, internal spiraling truths that lie just beneath the bleached skin of a person trying to keep their life from falling apart, all while smiling externally as if everything's okay.
