Music Monday – Skin and Bones by Morgan St. Jean

Hey everyone!
It’s time for another Music Monday! For this week’s song, I have chosen Skin and Bones by Morgan St. Jean.
Music Monday was created by Drew over on The Tattooed Book Geek.

Skin and Bones by Morgan St. Jean

Skin and Bones features on Morgan St. Jean’s 2023 EP with the same title.

I first heard of Morgan St. Jean when she supported We Three on tour, and she is brilliant live. The thing I like most about her is that a lot of her songs have important meanings/stories behind them.

Lyrics:

Coloring inside the lines
Fairy tales and Jesus Christ
Good girl, don’t you know that you could be perfect?
Just stick to the way that you learned it
They say, “You will make a pretty bride
Meet a man and build a life”
This world’s always had the same way of turning
You don’t need to fix what’s been working

But if I’m being honest
It’s a little more complex

I don’t love a body
That’s just skin and bones
It’s not somebody
I don’t look for reasons that they taught me
Maybe we’re missing the point
Girls who love girls and boys who love boys
Truth is, it’s not black and white
There’s not a blueprint
Call me what you like, I’m just a human
Maybe I love ’em all equal
And maybe I just love people

They say, “Men don’t care and men don’t cry
Get a job and find a nice, good girl”
She’s not asking so many questions
But I’m second guessing

But if I’m being honest
It’s a little more complex

(People, people, people)
I just love
(People, people)
Maybe I just love
(People, people, people)
I just love
(People, people)
