Dead Man’s Bones, “My Body’s a Zombie for You”

Dead Man’s Bones, “My Body’s a Zombie for You”

Dead Man’s Bones is a rock duo consisting of actor Ryan Gosling and his friend Zach Shields. Their first album, Dead Man’s Bones, was released on 6 October 2009 through ANTI- Records. The entire album is a collaboration with the Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir —started by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea— from Los Angeles, California. Gosling performs under the alias “Baby Goose”.

When Shields and Gosling met in 2005 they discovered a mutual obsession with the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland and decided to write love stories about ghosts and monsters. The pair chose to play all the instruments on the record, even those they had never touched before. They also imposed rules on themselves during the recording process, such as not playing with a click track, and trying to do no more than three takes on any song, letting any imperfections highlight the strengths of the music.

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I’ve witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

Yelawolf, “Til It’s Gone”

Yelawolf, “Til It’s Gone”

“Till It’s Gone” was recorded at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, Tennessee with mixing engineer Matthew Hayes and producer William “WLPWR” Washington, who also performed keyboards, pads, drums, programming and strings on the song; Mike Hartnett performed guitar and bass guitar. The song originated as an acoustic guitar riff, which was then looped and used as the backing for lyrics which were written “in a couple hours”. Due to its “dark and swampy” tone, the track was originally known as “The Swampy Record”.

On September 16, 2014, “Till It’s Gone” was featured on the second episode of the seventh season of American crime drama television series Sons of Anarchy, an inclusion which Yelawolf described as a “perfect fit”. Speaking about the lyrical themes on display in “Till It’s Gone”, Yelawolf has described the song as “very aggressive” and “very dark”, and notes that “It’s juxtaposed with this melody and the hook that gives it the power”. About the music, he has described the beat as “dope, swampy, alligator, snake-infested, gangrene, and dark”.
